THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON. a WEDNESDAY... January 15, 1896. CROSBY S. NOYES...............Editor. THE EVENING STAR and permanent Fam! much more than eulation of the dailies. As Medium it has no competitor. combined cir- ther Washington News and Advertising tim order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should mot be nddressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, aceording to tenor or purpose. No Seat, No Fare. It way be news to some people that the extra cost of propelling a street car ercwded with passergers as compared with one thinly patronized is by no means pro- portionate to the increase in revenue. In other words, it Is a profitable business to pack the cars to their utmost, and the added inceme is barely touched by the additional expense entailed. This !s demon- strated by the experience of a Boston street railway company, which in one year in- creased its total business by 200,000 passen- gers, at five cents each, while the increased cost of transportation was less than one cent per passenger. Briefly, then, it pays the company to reduce the number of cars in ratio to the increase of traffic, for the profits added to the net income after the Toad has got on a paying basis are suffi- ciently alluring to give a temptation to increase them at the expense of the com- fert of the patrons. Last September Mr. ©. L. Bonney, vice president of the Chicago Gereral Railway, submitted to the Mayor of Chicago a report of observations made by him in Effrope as to tramway facilities, the main result of which was to demon- strate that in London, Rerlin, Paris, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Christiana, Stockholm, Brussels and Vienna, all of the great cap- itals, every fassenger is provided with a seat. He says: “The regulation is so well urderstood that it does not produce any disorder or ccmplain:. In fact, the over- crowd'ng practiced in American cities would not be tolerated at all.” Coming from an American street railway official, this Is high testimony, and in view of re- cently discovered statistics, such as those relating to Boston already given, it is be- ginning to dawn on the people of this coun- try that the time now Is when the passen- ger in a street railway car ought to be given & seat. It will rot do to urge that conditions here differ so materially from those in the foreign capitals that the scheme that succeeds so well there would fail here. It might take a little time to accemplish the perfection of administration of the iaw that appears, from Mr. Bon- Rey's report, to prevail abroad. but there is no reason to doubt that within a few months the rule of “no seat no fare,” if backed by legislation, would be a complete success. ———_+ + —___ European Euchre. The history of the Franco-Prussian war shows upon what slight matters the fate of nations in these days depends. Given a generally strained relationship between the larger powers, the most insignificant event may become the cause of war and may upset elaborate plans for peace that have been formed with great pains. In 1870 the candidature of a member of the Hohenzolicrn family for the Spanish crown was the obstensible cause of irritation be- tween Germany and France, but the wis- dom of the King of Prussia virtually in- terposed to prevent an outbreak of hgs- tilities, when by some accident, not yet satisfactorily understood, the war party at Paris in a few hours changed the French emperor’s policy of peace to a hostile atti- tude that was immediately followed by a terrible, devastating war that cost France two of her richest frontier provinces. Just at present Europe is in a state of agitation over the possibility of a repetition of the war of 1870 on a more elaborate and dis- astrous scale. So conflicting are the re- ports of the present hour in regard to the prespects for peace or war that prophecy is a dangerous pastime. It is evident that a great game of politics is being played out around the European card table. The hands are held by France, Germany, Rus- sia and England. and the stake is a great one. On the next play may depend ‘he peace of millions of men. Clubs are trumps. —-+ += —___ Close the Speak-Easies! A necessary preliminary to any increase in the amount of the liquor license fee, and indeed, an indispensable condition of the full success of the present Icense law is the more complete enforcement of the law | against the unlicensed sale of liquor. Men will not pay $1,000 per year, or even $400 per year, as at present provided, to sell liquor, if they are not prevented from selling In case of fallure.to make this payment, or if after paying the license they are not pro- tected from competition in ther business by the speak-easies. Neither does the com- munity profit either in revenue or in morals by eliminating the saloons which can afford to pay only a low license, if the substitutes for them are the illegal groggeries, which pay nothing, and which are the more de- moraiizing in their effect because they are secret and law-defying. The logical result, however, of these considerations is not to discoutage high license, but to encourage vigorous prosecution of the unlicensed. Close the sp2ak-easies! ———_-_+e+___ What England Has Done. England has just accomplished a feat that shculd set the economists of Congress to thinking very seriously. In five days, under the inspiration of a war scare, twen- ty-one ships of the naval reserve have been mobilized, ready for service. How many days would it require for this country to Prepare one-third of this number of ships in the event that warlike preparations were necessary? The American naval re- serve today consists practically of but four “auxiliary” cruisers, now on transatlantic merchant service. They are splendid ships, staunch and fleet, but it would take months to place them in commission. There is not @ gun built for them today, not a pound of mechanism necessary to transform the merchantmen into commerce destroyers. The gun shop in this city is almost idle. Appropriations have about run out, and the plea is made that there Is no more work to do. The English achievement demonstrates how much work there is that should le Gone without any delay. ; —_-+o__ In the reports issued from Cuba the im- pregsion is gathered that the Spaniards are ‘Wniformly victorious, but the insurgents do most of the damage. { —\__+ e+ ____ Politicians who are superstitious about Particular cities as convention sites might ftry Washington. No hoodoo hovers in the District of Columbia. —_ +e ___ | Cuban Complications. ; If it be true, as stated in an article print- ed yesterday in The Star, that England and France are about to take part in the Cuban ) Struggle, the importance of that matter to , the United States becomes greatly en- ‘anced. According to the information re- ferred to, these countries are making bids to ithe two parties to the war, England with Spain and France with the Cubans in the hope of their success. Free trade between France and Cuba might prove a serious blow to the commercial relations between the fsland and this country, which are at present quite profitable to the United States, While on the other hand it would be equally disastrous to American interests to allow Engiand to assume charge of the Cuban custom houses under Spanish control in or- der to give Great Britain security for a Joan to Spain to fcrnish the munitions of war. This, in effect, covers the counter Propositions that it seems are now being considered. It is quite apparent that the political wires are being pulled both for ana against official recognition by this country of the Cuban insurgents, and a late rumor gives it that among the surprises soon to be sprung in Congress is a resolution from the Senate committee on foreign relations directing the President to grant belligerent rights to the insurgents, and perhaps even going so far as to authorize him to receive an official deputation from the Cuban re- public. ‘The internaticnal relations of the great powers of the world are now so de- eidedly complicated that it is impossible to anticipate with confidence the political events of the nzar future, and Cuban recog- nition is by no means to be regarded as an improbability. —_———_+ + __ Unanimous Endorsement, On Monday night the Northeast Washing- ton Citizens’ Assocation unanimously ap- Proved the public library bill. Today the Commissioners have added the!r favorable indorsement to the project. Rather, they have repeated and emphasized their pre- vious endorsements, for they have been from the first warmly interested In the mat- ter. Lecal public sentiment has now ex- pressed itself through practically every channel by which it is capable of expression. If Washington were a seif-governed city the vote in favor of public library legislation would be virtually unanimous. In the light of the convincing demonstration concern- ing the condition of local public opinion which has been spread before Congress, will not the District's legislature respond to the evidence of the wishes of their capital con- stituents and act quickly and favorably upon the library proposition? —_ + «= ___. If the consideration of patriotism is to be regarded in connection with a government loan, the bonds should be placed, at their face value, where the people can get at them, instead of being auctioned off like Meretandise in, an ordinary mercenary transaction. The people pay the taxes and it would be no great injustice to allow them to epjoy the small premium which might accrue if bonds were placed on the market with a careful estimate of their market value regardless of the speculative profits or losses incidental to commercial fluctua- tions. —___ + ____ General Booth is represented as desiring to have the Salvation Army retain its peculiarly English characteristics; to have it regarded solely as a British institution. Patriotism is an admirable quality; but the work which jhe Salvation Army has under- taken should not recognize political boun- Gary lines. > __—. The Czar of Russia has engaged a type- writer. Possibly this ts only a first step toward surrounding himself with a corps of clerks with which to put up a Russell Sage defense in case a bomb-thrower puts in an appearance. + 2.

An Impression. “Begorrah,” remarked Mr. Dolan, “there does be a gret deal av talk about the Brit- ish lion's tail these days." “Oi've noticed ut,” his wife replied. “Well, it’s not fur me to be critical, but to my thinkin’ a twisht or two more in it'll make ut look fur all the worruld like a pig’s tail.” A Philosopher. “You haven't made quite as many speeches as I thought you would have marked up to your credit,” said the wife of the new Congressman. “No,” was the reply, “I haven't had a great deal to say.” “You know, when you were elected, your constituents kind o’ thought you would turn things upside down, and reform the entire system of government,” “Maybe they did. But there's one thing you can set down as a great moral truth. And that is that it’s a heap safer to do nothin’ an’ do it well than it is to do a lot o’ things an’ do ‘em wrong.” A Perplexity of Leap Year. “'m going to resign,” said the editor in charge of the how-to-behave column of a periodical. “What's the matter?” inquired the pro- prietor. “These people are getting too abstruse for me. Here’s a young man who writes to inquire just how far it is proper for a gen- tleman to encourage a lady who shows symptoms of proposing.” An Object of Sympathy. That valentine, "mid blasts and snow, ‘Twill grieve us soon to noie, Because poor Cupid has to go Without an overcoat, No Time for Small Things. “Excuse me, Mr. Barnothing,” said the London lady to her very wealthy acquaint ance, “but isn’t mining very interesting? “Very, ma’am.” “I am very ignorant on that score. me, do diamonds come in quartz?” “Oh, I suppose some people that work on a small scale get ‘em that way; but I had ‘em comin’ in gallons, ma‘am.” A Reliance.

WASHINGTON, January 2 ee is 2 strong probability that this country wii Scon be the possessor of the West Indian islands of St. Thomas, St. Croix and St. John. Unless the President should oppose the consummation of such a program, there seems to be no doubt that it will be ex cuted at no distant day. Denmark is will- ing to dispose of the islands to the United States, a majority in Congress is anxious that the purchase shall be made, and Sec- retary Olney is favorable to the proposi- tion. Morcover, the residents of the islands desire anexation to the United States. The views of the President are not definitely known, but it is believed that under all the circumstances he will not prove averse to the acquisition. The matter is of much im- portance to the country. It is receiving serious attention in the Senate and House committees which have charge of foreign questions, and today the Secretary of State added interest to the subject by saying that he was in favor of securing the islands by purchase, Tell CROCKER, All shoes shined free.
