4 THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JANUARY 11, 1896-TWENTY-FOUR PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY...........January 11, 1896. CROSBY S. NOYES..............-Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- eulation of the other Washington daili As a New nd Advertising Medium it has no competitor. crIn order to a id delnys, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed te any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or ‘The announcement made in yesterday's Star that the District Commissioners have Lecome convinced of the undesirability of granting further overhead trolley franchises in the immediate suburbs should be re- ceived with great satisfaction by the Dis- ‘trict people. There has, in the past, been too ‘much "respect ‘paid to the old line that years ago was lald down as dividing the city from the ‘outlying country districts, and it is -high time-that it should be oblit- erated so far as puble improvements are concerned. Along a greater part of its total Jength it -is-a purely imaginary boundary. City conditions prevail to the north of the Ime almost to the same extent as to the south, and it-is folly to insist further upon discriminating against the so-called “sub- urban” S8etOhs. “It I¥"plain that the Com- missfoners have realized this fact, and if they ean prevent any further legislation eniedtitteting” th “8éttted and improved streets of the northern, territory with trol- ley roads, overhead poles and the like, which have been, dr are supposed to be, banished from the old.clty,, they. will be conferring a great benefit not only upon the citizens of -tedayut-upon-those-ef the greater Wash- ington of afew yearshence. As rapidly as possible the now-exisfing trolleys should be Tciscun othensystems, and all future ex- tersions of rapid-transit Ines beyond the “city units Within an area enlarging as fast as settlement increases, ought to con- fcrm to the new rule. It is the poorest kind of* pottéy to permit’ road such as the Metro- politan, now travensing.the city from north to south with a splendid underground road. to put up overhead wires as soon as it pesses Florida-avenue,-simply because the present prohibitive law indirectly allows tkat dangéro(§ “fotni of propulsion in “the suburbs.” Such an extension would be a patchwork, unworthy of the city and the great corporation - proposing it. It would be quite as sensible and economical for the Capitol Traction cable cars, in the event of @ suburban-extenston: of one of the lines of that company, to be hauled beyond the Imits of the “city by horses or mutes. ——__- += ____ »..Resnlts of the Pound Party. It is evident, from the reports of those Twhowe aut; ft 1#' ta ééllect the goods do- nated for the benefit of the poor at the pound party held yesterday by The Star “Santa’Claus ‘Chib, that there has been a ‘very general response to the call for aid. “The plan of the party this year was such that the total- results can not be gathered together in such striking form as last year, when the pounds were all brought to The Star office and made a brave show for the generosity of the people of the District. This, time the goods were scattered through- out the city at the various public schools, ard are rot to be brought together to a sir gle depot of supply. Thus the party of 4896 loses in spectacular effect but it is a great success in every other way. There was a very hearty response to the appeal of the charitable agencies, and the stock of food thus gathered, under a judicious system of distribution, should suffice to keep the wolf of hunger from the door of every home of poverty in the District for some time. Yet it is already apparent that the mere fact that there has been such gen- erosity exhibited by the citizens has incit- ed some to ask for alms who do not deserve aid. There is to be no giving just because there are things to give. The recipient must be worthy of help. The mild weath- er that has succeeded the recent cold wave has greatly reduced the pressure on the relief zgencies, and the indications are that there is much less real demand for aid to- day than a week ago. This will enable the distribution to be conducted more slow- ly, earefuily and effectively than if there were a great emergency. Thus the city is in good shape for the campaign against suffering and the citizens may congratulate themselves upon the situation. ———_ Shorten the Campaign. Next week the democratic national com- mittee will assemble in Washington to se- lect a city for the next national convention for the democratic party and to make other arrangements for that event. The Star has glready from time to time pointed out the urgent need of a change from the usual program in such matters that will give the country @ ‘shorter presidential campaign, and immediately after-the republican com- mittee had selected a date in June for the convention of that party it demonstrated that unless the democrats should break away from the custom that gives the admin- istration patty thé frst convention the cam- paign would be longer..than any since the civil war. Since that time there has been & great deal of pressure brought to bear vpon the democratic committee in favor of the violation of this precedent and now comes the word'that"thé New York com- mittee booming that city. for the convention has been informed privately that it is the present plan of sonté vf the influential leaders of the democratic,party to advocate the holding of the convention in the middle of July. or, possibly.-later than that date. Political matters are so arranged today, it is urged, that it might be good democratic policy to hold alate convention and take advantage of the presence of the republican neminee in the field 30 as to plan the cam- paign in accordance with the issues al- ready laid down by the republicans. This view mayor may not be taken by the leaders of the party, but whatever the mo- tive for a late convention, such a result will be heartily welcomed by a majority of the business men of this country. The whole political chronology of the United States needs readjustment, and no part of it more urgently than that which fixes the Iength of the great campaigns which quad- rennially disturb the commercial tranquil- ity of the nation. == ee Grcat Britain's pacifie professions are soothing, but not sufficiently so to prevent an alert consideration of that country’s Movements in South America. + += —____ Eyer and anon Senator Hill arises to meke it clear that he !s not anybody's pho- “ mograph. i +e Whe Celeinm Light of Londen spiration.” Ther> is no more entertaining occupation than the review of prephesies in the light of subsequent events. Sometimes valuable contributions are made to history in this wise, and often important gight is thrown on political affairs. For example, the editor of The National Review, a London monthly evidently intended largely for domestic lation, has illuminated the troubles in al that developed after he had n the following sentences for his Janu- “In- writ is thought a revolution may possibly break out in the 1 next month after the meetii c Probably there will be some fighting. We kno practice has been going on among the Euro- Ppeans belonging to the mines, and Mr. Rhodes has maintained in efficiency a great portion of the force which did such excellent service in the Matabele war. Fortunately Mr. Gladstone’s paralyzing f{iffuence has been removed, and if fighting takes place our next settlement with the Boers is likely to be more satisfactory than the last one.” The man who can peer into the future so cleverly deserves'a world-wide recognition, even though he may fall under-the ban of the Scriptural axiom that “a prophet is not He shows that in London, at least, the up- rising of the Uitlanders was regargled as a foregone conctusion;-and. that there- would be help: sent to them from the remnants of “the force which did such excellent service maintained “in efficiency.” In short, Mr. Rhodes, the editor declares, was on a war basis, ready to send forces into President Kruger’s territory at a signal. Dr. Jame- scn’s expedition, therefore, was a part of @ program so definitely arranged before- hand that the editor of The National Re- view, far away in London, knew pretty much all about it in season for his January issue. Whérefore the great surprise shown by the government at the tidings of Jame- Scn’s “escapade,” and its tardy orders com- manding him to turn back? Why the sud- den change of policy that is now so ap- Parent? Are Salisbury and Chamberlain— the big and little casino of British politics— falling under the “paralyzing influence” of Mr. Gladstone? The cat is now well out of the bag, and there fs more certainty than ever that the British theory is that success justifies and failure condemns every action. —__ e2____ More Poticemen Needed. It is sincerely to be hcped that Congress will not show the same parsimony in mak- ing appropriations for the police force of the District that was exhibited by the House the other day in rejecting « motion to increase the Capitol force by twelve Members to take the place of an equal number of policemen lcared to the Capitol aut/lorities. There never was a time in the history of the city when increases were so badly needed by the police officials as at Present. The city is filled with crooks and thieves of every description. Burglary has beccme common. Gangs of expert oper- ators, it is feared, have come to this city from New York and other large communi- ties, knowing full well that edch Washing- ton policeman has a greater territory to cover than in any other city and these men have already made several rich hauls. Ther» is no sure guarantee of protection and every householder stands in daily and nightly terror of visitations from this gen- try. While there is necessarily more or less thieving done at all times in any large elty, whatever the size of ‘the poltee force, yet it is a crying shame that the capital of the nation should be left with such an in- sufficient guard, especially when it Is ex- posed to the visits of the crooks who are driven out of other cities and who find here a comparatively safe harbor of refuge ow- ing to the fact that it Is physically impos- stble for the tmadequate force of police- men to run them to earth. The force, though small, is of exceptional ability and efficiency and if it were not for this the city would indeed be in a sad condition. It would seem as though tHe members of Con- gress, in their capacity as residents here during each winter, when the thieves are Most active, would take a personal Interest in the matter and the hope is that when the District appropriation bill is under con- sideration a generous increase in the force may be granted in accordance with the Commissioners’ request. Meanwhile it w!ll be very appropriate and desirable for tem- porary provision to be made for such an in- crease by a special bill that ought to go through both houses and receive the ap- Ereval of the President in short order. ——_ + e+ —____ Smaller Classes in School. It is unfortunate that the school board, in amending the standing rules, was so handl- capped by the law as to be unable to establish a maximum number of pupils assigned to each teacher. The rule as finally adopted gives an average of forty to each teacher. This ts none too low, and it should be remembered that being average it means that many teachers will have more than forty. modern educational methods is to reduce the per capita work of the instructor, as it might be called, by steady limitations and the Washington public schools have pro- gressed to that point of efficiency when the reduction of the task put upon each teacher. The best work. of course, is done in the smallest classes, for this gives more oppor- tunity for individual instruction and atten- tion. As a rule the brighter pupils In any class of whatever size will never suffer from the lack of opportunity on the part of the teacher to give direct personal attention to thetr training for the natural impulse to study overcomes all such difficulties. It is the duller, less apt pupil who suffers from erlargement of the classes, the very one who needs individual work and who in the end shows the unfortunate results of overcrowd- ing. It is not to be urged that the reduction of the classes operates to give the teachers an easier time, for they are to be credited with conscientious desires to do the best work possible, and it is to be presumed that they will utilize to the full the opportunity to improve the general standard of excel- lence of their classes. Aside from the hygienic reasons against large classes, which are of first potency, there are thus strong motives for the early establishment of a rule making a low maximum, and its constent amendment downward as rapidly as financial conditions will permit. To this end the annual appropriations should be generously increased to keep pace with modern educational%onditions and to pro- vide every child of school age in the District with full facilities to obtain instruction. —_~ es ___ Russta {s paying the Kalser numerous attentions, and there is a strong possibility of France's being interested in Germany's behalf in the event of need.

Benjamin Johnson, resident partner in Philadelphia of the New York banking and brokerage firm of Kendall & Whitlock, disappeared. Judge Shiras of lowa, in federal court at Omaha, rendered a decision declaring that in cases where Indians have become cliti- zens, with all the accompanying privileges, the government is still bound by all treaty stipulations existing while tribal relations were sustained. The prominent men who died were Rev. Dr. Wm. M. Postelthwaite, chaplain at West Point; Colonel Thomas W. Knox, a noted correspondent during the war and well-known writer of stories for the young; ex-Governor W. R. Marshall of Minnesota, and General M. D. Leggett, a member of General Grant's staff.

Jameson's recent raid Into the Transvaal, in southeast Africa, the kaiser’s congratu- lations to President Kruger on Jameson's deteat and capture, and the hostile feeling aroused in England against Germany have been the topics of the week: Cecil Rhodes resigned as premier of Cape Colony, and Sir J. Gordon Sprigg, treasurer of the colony, succeeded him; it was reported that Great Britain has purchased Delagoa bay from Portugal; Emperor William, in an interview with Dr. Leyds, secretary of state of the Transvaal, declared that he would not recognize any claim of suxerainty over the Transvaal; this statement from the em- peror caused a sensation in London; the Transvaal government demanded the ban- Ashment of Cecil Rhedes and Dr. Jameson from Africa, and the payment of an indem- nity of $2,500,000; the report that a combi- nation of powers has been formed against Great Britain gained ground- The Span- ish ministry decided not to accept the resig- nation of Martinez de Campos as captain general of Cuba, and to Increase the naval and military forces in Cuba.

Senator Kaulbach of Nova Scotia dropped dead in one of the senate corridors at Ottawa. The deaths included Lord Black- burn of England, Sir Jutian Goldsmid, the noted Hebrew philanthropist; Dean B. Mason, vice consul general of the United States at Vienna; Paul Verlaine, a French Peet, and Philip Reclam, the publisher, at Leipsig. In the District. A pound party was given for the relief of the poor by The Evening Star Santa Claus Club, which resulted in a contribu- tion of a large amount of food supplics and money. In the case of Maj. George A. Armes the Court of Appeals decided that the military authcrities had full author- ity to order his arrest. There was no set- tlement of the difficulty which resulted in the lockout of the brewery employes. Several cases of burglary as well us of attempted burglary and hifhway robberies showed that thieves were active in their operations. It was decided by the board of stpervisors appointed by the national re- publican committee to hold the primary election for delegetes and altecnates from the District to the national convention on the 28th of the month: one of the candi- dates for election as delegate, Dr. C.
