6 e THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, JANUARY 16, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MHURSDAY........... January 16, 1896. —— CROSBY S. NOYES. -Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the othe? Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. — 2 The Price of Bread Again. About fifteen months ago The Star began a crusade against the high price of bread in the District on the ground that lower rates were possible in view of the low price cf wheat and flour. The fight was waged unrelentingly and was finally successful in causing the bakers to reduce the price to four cents a loaf. In the spring the price ef flour advanced slightly and the bakers decided to restore the five-cent rate, thus giving practical countenance to the con- tention that there should be a direct re- lation between the prices of flour and bread. Wheat and flour have now gone back to their former low price. “A Friend of the Poor” sent to The Star yesterday a communication calling attention to the evi- dent necessity of‘another campaign in view of the fact that there is a large amount of suffering among the deserving poor of the city, who are the first to feel, and who feel heavily, the increase of twenty-five per cent in the price of one of the staples of life. It seems eminently proper that some- thing should be done to regulate the price of bread according to the price of its chief constituent, wheat flour, and it is alto- gether reasonable that the poor should be given the benefit of reductions in the price of grain as long as the other elements in the manufacture of bread remain a fixed and stationary charge upon the baker. The chief argument of the bakers in 1894 was that labor was so high that cheapness of flour was more than counterbalapced. The Star exposed this fallacy an@™ presented a mathematical demonstration of the fact hat at four cents a loaf a baker could make a big profit. If the price should be reduced either by voluntary action of the bakers or by legislative enactment—which is an extreme and not altogether desirable remedy—provision should be definitely made that whatever the price the loaf of bread should weigh not less than one pound. This is the fitting time to reduce again the bread rates until the price of wheat has so increased as to justify the higher charge. —___++ + Balfour's Magnanimity. Mr. Balfcur declares that Great Britain would not have Venezuela if it could. Since the whcle includes all its parts, Mr. Balfour declares that Great Britain would not, if it could, have any part of Ven- ezuela, even that section which is contig- uous to British Guiana. It is not to be pre- sumed that the First Lord of the Treasury is indulging in a cry of “sour grapes!” after the discovery by Great Britain that so far as the Venezvelan vineyard is con- cerned it cannot reach the fruit. Full cre- dence must be given to the assurance that Great Britain covets nothing that belongs to Venezuela, and would take nothing Ven- ezuelan even if invited to do so. The ten- der and acceptance in good faith of this assurance greatly relieve the situation. For it follows that if any ofthe land in dispute, however it may be situated with reference to the Schomburgk line, can be demonstrated to be Venezuelan property, Great Britain will at once insist that Ven- ezuela shall take possession of it. And in jer to avoid the slightest possibility of occupying and holding by mistake any part of Venezuela, something which it is now evident Great Britain would scorn to do, it nu be expected that England will promptly compel Venezuela to submit the whole of the disputed question of owner- ship to the judgment of some disinter- ested third party, by whose decision both nations will abide. ——__- + e+ —__ A Shorter Campaign Assured. The seventh of July hes been chosen as the date for the national democratic con- vention to be held this year. This insures a shorter campaign than it was feared would result from the decision of the republican © comm ee to hold the convention of that June 16, in view of the tradition by of which the administration party the earlier convention of the two. It pity that while the democrats were king this custom they did not make a reduction of the campaign by a late date in July instead of such 3 but it was evidently considered poor politics to allow much more than a fortnight to elapse after the naming of a repub! candidate before placing his democratic opponent in the field. At all events the custom that has so often operated to lengthen the campaign has been broken, and a most desirable precedent has been established in favor of an abbreviation of the political disturbances that interfere so seriously each fourth year with the com- mercial prosperity of the nation. It is note- worthy that this was not achieved without a division, but that it came about only after a fight with the advocates of the plan of hold- ing the convention as early as the second of June. —.___ Frozen Pipes. Householders should profit by the informa- tion printed in last evening’s Star explain- ing why hot water pipes often freeze more readily than do the cold water service pipes in the house. The superintendent of plumbing says that heated water loses its vitality and the expulsion of the air by the heat makes it exceptionally subject to being frozen, so that often the pipe that contains water of the higher temperature 4s the first to freeze. There are few an- noyances greater than a frozen pipe in a house. Frequently it leads to considerable damage by the bursting of the metal under the severe strain of the expansion that oceurs just before the freezing point Is reached. In such climates as this provi- ston is seldom made for so protecting the pipes that they are beyond the reach of the frost, and the cold, when it is felt se- verely, often results in broken conduits and damaged property. a If public affairs maintain their present comparative placidity, there will be no oc- casion tor the President to go duck-hunt- ing for some time to come. ——- +++ ___ ‘The boundary dispute is becoming an ubiquitous institution. —__ e+ Arbitration ix in Sight. It is published in London that Lord Salis- bury, while flouting the idea of a submis- sion of the entire Venezuelan boundary to arbitration, says that if the American com- m'ssioners define “what In their opinion the terms of arbitration should be and if a European power will then act as arbitrator all interests would be satisfied.” This is little else than arbitration according to terms laid down by this government. If the paper publishing this statement ac- evrately represents Lord Salisbury’s atti- tude {t means that he has unconditionally surrendered to President Cleveland. It is not to be questioned that a European power can be found willing to serve in such a capacity that would be wholly sat- isfactory to this country. The main con- *tertion of the President is that the refusal to erbitrate places the British claim for territory squarely on a level with a policy of acquisition regardless of rights. That refusal inunediately raised a question as to the soundness of the British position with regard to the true line, and if now Lord Salisbury so far sees and acknowledges his error as to be willing to submit the case to an impartial power as umpire the Monroe doctrine is satisfied and this country will be content. The main principle at stake is not concerned with the amount of territory that may eventually be deemed as belong- ing fairly to either Great Britain or Ven- ezuela, but it involves the manner in which such jurisdiction is acquired. It is very -doubtful if our historic doctrine would be entirely protected in the event of a pur- chase of the disputed territory by Great Britain from Venezuela, although the Pres- ident in bis message declared that “any adjustment of the boundary which that ecuntry (Venezuela) may deem for her ad- vantage and may enter into of her own free will cannot of course be objected to by the United States.” Mr. Moreton Frewen, the English writer on econcmics, calls at- tention to this phrase in an article in the National Review for January on “‘Ameri- can Politics,” and declares that this is “a precedent fer the abandonment of the en- tire Monroe doctrine.” Of course Mr. Frewen is wrong. The President did not mean that a settlement by purchase would be satisfactory to us. He surely would not be upheld by Congress in such a position. Mr. Cleveland referred unquestionably to the adjustment of the boundaries that might grow out of pacific negotiations’ be- tween the countries based upon historical facts. But after all it now happens that the British government is willing to waive all these questions and to grant the very reasonable request of the American gov- ernment. —_—_—_+2=—___ « Railroad Manslaughter. It was shown by almost unanimous tes- timcny at the coroner’s inquest yesterday upon the latest grade-crossing homicide that the, gates at the crossing were up when a regular train was approaching on schedule time. The flagman had no clock. None had been provided by the company although the road permits the side tracks to be unlawfully occupied by standing cars so that it is often impossible for the gate- man to seé the approaching trains. He must “guess” at the time. His guess the other day was just wrong enough to cost a life. The rules of the company, it now appears, permit him to place his gates in charge of another employe of the road. The cchedule of trains is often changed without notice being given to the men who are placed at these points where human lives are hourly imperilled. The gates are old-fashioned frail barriers subject to fre- quent derangement. The primary offence of the railroad is in persisting in maintain- ing its surface tracks in Washington, thus making necessary protective devices at the crossings. Its secondary offence ts in pro- viding such imperfect safeguards at these danger-points that almost no protection at all is furnished to the public. Its neglect in the latter respect has now destroyed a life. Will not Congr take up the ques- tion in earnest and supply the only effective remedy by abolishing the death-trap grade crossings? —_~>+s—____ Cuba, Trensvaal, Armenia, Chile, Ven- ezuela, Manitoba!

Her Iden. “Dear me,” said Mande, “there has been a dreadful let of talk in the financial ar- ticles about a gold ring. What do you sup- pese they are driving at?" “Gh, I don’t know,” replied Mamie, in a weary tone; “I guess it's just some more of this silly joking about engagements.” An Admonitio In advertising, always be As honest as you can; Be sure it’s merchandise you sell And not your fellpw man. Pandemonium. “My! my!” she exclaimed, as a memory- wave came over her! “I hope I shall never again have auch a dream!” “What's the matter?” inquired her hus- band. “I had a horrible nightmare. It was worse than a board of lady managers or a congressioral scramble. It was worse than anything I ever encountered before.” ‘What did you dream?” “J thought that all the English-speaking rhymsters and critics had been called to- gether to agree on a proper person for poet laureate.” Overheard. “Mr. Dorkins,” she said reproachfully, “I am informed that you refer to the boarding establishment which I conduct in language of disparagement.” “Not intentiorally.” “Then 1 suppose it was under some hyp- notic influence that you requested the waiter to bring you one of my biscuits as you were goitg fishing and wanted a sinker.” Analogy. The teacher had been impressing the de- sirability of a steadfast purpose and sus- tained effort. “The coral insect,” she said, “Is a very tiny animal. Yet it goes on buliding, little by little—so little, indeed, that its efforts from year to year are scarcely noticeable; and yet, in time it rears a great island in the midst of the ocean. Now, children, what does this teach?” A boy raised his hand. “Well, Willie you may tell.” “It teaches us,” was the confident reply, “that the new post office is bound to get finished some da; A Case in Point.
