THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. . TUESDAY.............January 21, 1896. CROSBY 5S. NOYES........... Editor. = aE EEE THE EVENING STAR has « regular aud permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- eulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. Se ee EES Im order to avoid delays, om ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individus! connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according te tenor or purpose. ————— Identifying the Bond Bill. = afe one or two persons in Wash- Peres apparently much interested dn the local bond bi), who have curiously confused notions concerning its identity. Evidently they would not recognize it if they should meet it face to face. When the harmless and necessary appellate court amendment of the highway act was brought before the Senate District committee these persons promptly recognized in it the bond bill, and, scenting with suspicious facility imagined jobbery and corruption, filled the air with cries of “Bond steal! Thieves! Robbers!” ‘They have never entirely recovered from this notion that the highway act and the bond bill are the same. When at the first meeting this year of the Board of Trade representatives of the suburban property owners, complaining of the harshness of the highway act, secured an adjournment for the purpose of a more thorough considera- tion of their grievances, these persons con- gratulated the suburbanites upon exposing the jobbery and corruption of the bond bill steal and upon defeating it. Since the street extension money provided by the bond bill would be paid to the suburban property owners for their land, these owners were in effect amusingly congratulated upon their honesty in exposing themselves as alleged thieves and jobbers, and in frustrating in a manly way their own nefarious schemes. The latest evidence of a confusion of the bond bill and the highway act in the minds of these individuals is found tn their detec- tion of a suspicious coincidence in the amount of the Commissioners’ estimate of the cost of street extension, eight millions, and the amount of the bond bill, seven and a half millions, the intimation being that the estimate is made to fit the proposed ap- Propriation. This suspicion is based upon the erroneous assumption that the bond bill provides for nothing but street extension. No one can deny that there is only half a million of difference between eight and seven and a half millions, but there is no striking coincidence between eight millions and two millions six hundred and fifty thou- sand, which is the amount set apart for street extension by the bond bill. It must be remembered by those who know and learned by those who are ignorant, that of the seven and a half millions provided by the bond bill four millions three hundred and fifty thousand are to be expended upon sewers, and that the provision of $2,650,000 for street extension involves the contribu- tion by the United States of its share of this expense, and thus indirectly amends in a vital point the highway act, which exempts the United States from participation in ail expenditures under it. It is this amenda- tory feature that has most strongly com- mended to The Star the bond bill provision concerning street extension. Without some such amendment appropriations under the highway act, which tt must be remembered is existing law, will come exclusively from District individual tax payers and suburban property owners. Not one cent should be paid for extensions under the highway act until this outrageously unjust provision has been cogrected, if not by the bond bill then im some other way. The District cannot afford to permit the highway act to be car- ried into final effect until it is definitely known what the cost will be, and until a just and satisfactory arrangement is agreed upon as to who will pay it. The outcome will probably be either revision of the high- way act and passage of the bond bill or defeat of the street extension feature of the bond bill and repeal of the highway act. If this law is repealed outright, without the substitution by amerdment of another plan in its place it is generally conceded that no harmonious and general extension of the city streets will hereafter be possible. ‘The steady increase in the value of the land to be teken will forbid any future legisla- tior in this direction, The question 1s one of grave importance to the public welfare, and deserves thoughtful and intelligent consideration. ———__ + + ____ Making the First Move. ‘The request of the Venezuelan commis- sicn for information from the parties to the bevndary controversy ought to produce all the documents, statistics and facts bearing upon the entire question which the com- missioners are ncw congidering. It was of curse proper, in view of the fact that this ccmrrission has no international standing whatsoever, to accompany this request by a statement of the express understanding that the submission of evidence to this beard could not be construed as a recogni- tion of tt as an authorized board of arbi- trators or as committing the parties in the slightest degree to observance of its find- ings. The United States investigates for its own benefit, and the furnishing of informa- tion to it by either England or Venezuela is simply a courtesy, committing them to nothing. If England does not wish the bother of submitting evidence to a body of men whom of course it does not recognize as arbitrators. it could render our commis- sion superfluous by proposing some binding arbitration arrangement directly with Ven- ezuela. —_-++¢2_____ This country is still young, and it is to be expected that a good deal of its statuary will rank higher as works of patriotism than as works of art. But it cannot begin too early in its career to make an effort to blend the two qualities. —_++2____ Lord Dunraven should study the method of the American pugilist who is so strangely Successful in surviving an apparently unre- strained career of scolding. —++s___ There is an impression going abroad that Lord Salisbury and Alfred Austin have made a quiet arrangement by which each is doing the other’s work. ————_++2____ Captain Anson's failure as an actor lends new discouragement to the problem of what we are going to do with our ball players. —___+ «2 _____ Sixty-eight men were at work on the city post office building today. ——- +2 ___ Affairs in Cuba, The Star’s special correspondent in Cuba is keeping the people of Washington fully informed as to the progress of the revolu- tion now in progress on that island. Yes- terday he gave an account of the capital of the Cuban republic and an interview with President Cisneros, which was prac- tically the first account of the formal and Gefinite establishment of the revolutionists that has yet been published. Today he paints a picture of the great anxiety that from this letter that the situation in Havana is much more strained than the revolutionists should be given to under- stand The Stars correspondent states his ppinion that the inauguration of a cam- to end as successfully for the government of Madrid as before. There is undoubtedly @ great sentiment favorable to Cuba in this country both latent and expressed, and it may need just this kind of campaigning that The Star is now informed will prob- ably result from the change of command- ers to swell this sentiment into a general and practically unanimoys chorus demand- ing the freedom of the island. ——__+e+e—__—_ The American Doctrine. ‘The resolution reported from the Senate committee on foreign relations is a broad expansion and a modern enunciation of the Monroe doctrine in terms that appear: to cover every possible phas= of the extension of foreign influence to the western hemis- “phere. There can be absolutely no doubt of the meaning of this declaration, which takes the form of a concurrent resolution and therefore, if passed by both houses, will have the force of a congressional 6: pression of opinion binding the United States, so far as the legislative branch of government can bind the nation, to a cer- tain policy for all time until this resolution shall have been repealed or rescinded. It is notable that the resolution refers €x- pressly to “the American continents,” to the islands adjacent to the United States, and to the isthmus connecting the con- tinents, with a particular provision embrac- ing the Nicaraguan canal in all but specific terms. The resolution is so carefully drawn that it covers every form of European ag- gression in the way of territorial acquisi- tion that falls within the range of possi- bility. It is the natural outgrowth and de- velopment of the Monroe doctrine. It 1s the application of that doctrine to present con- ditions and modern necessities. It doubt- less accurately represents American opin- fon on the subject of America for Ameri- cans. Whether it is wiser for the nation to content itself for the present with mak- ing good its application of the Monroe doc- trine to the Venezuelan controversy, leav- ing Cuba and the Nicaragua canal for fu- ture reference, or to take boldly this broad position, sweeping in its application to all possible controversies, and throwing down the gauntlet in all of them to combined Europe, is,a question of expediency for Congress to determine. For a Proper Municipal Building. The District Commissioners yesterday Presented powerful arguments in favor of @ new municipal building in their letter to the House committee relative to House bill | 2058 which proposes to supply the lack that has become one of the standing disgraces of Washington. The estimate of $2,500,000 for a building comporting with the dignity of the nation’s capital is not too high, especially in view of the fact that this structure under the project now advocated is to be shared by the courts and is to be @ United States court house as well as a municipal building. The Commissioners Present figures to prove this beyond ques- tion. The municipal building at Baltimore cost $3,000,000, that at San Francisco $,- 000,000 and at Philadelphia $14,000,000. 1f Congress is to appropfiate at last for this most worthy purpose it should do so in the spirit of just liberality that is demanded by the present needs and the present great- ness of the capital city. ————_++--—____ It is not impossible that England is merely anxious to leave her American troubles in statu quo, until she gets these little African difficulties arranged. —_——_++«_____ It will be at least a year or two before Salisbury succeeds in making the English people forget that there was ever such a man as Gladstone. —_—____+«___—_ In the circles of Constantinople where slang is tolerated it is suggested that the Sultan has been talking through his turban. ——_ + = John L.

An Alarming Symptom. “T'm feeling very badly,” said the Sultan. “What your majesty needs is mental re- pese. I am afraid that you are in danger of brain trouble.” = “I am sure of it. I suffer from halluci- nations. Why, I am getting so I almost believe some of the reports I send out about the condition that prevails in Arme- nia." = A Malapros Proverb. “It's too bed,” said Miss Cayenne, thoughtfully. “It must have hurt Miss Primwell’s feelings very much, but I spoke before I thought.” “Were you rude to her?” inquired the mutual feminine friend. “T am afraid so. She was telling me how Mr. Wickles proposed to her. She was wonderfully pleased because he declared that if he had the wealth of the Indias he weuld lay it at her feet.” “And what did you say?” “I said ‘a fool and his money are soon parted.’” A Poet’s Instruction. “Now,” said Lord Saltboodle, who was initiating the poet-laureate, “it is desirable to have a clear understanding of your du- ties as promptly as possible.” “Why—er—I thought my duty would be to write poetry.” “Of course. That’s the mechanical part of it. You seem to know how to get the Proper plunk-plunk in the meter, and to recognize the degree of phonetic similarity required to constitute rhyme. But thats not all. I'll admit that it takes practice? but it is not all.” ‘What else do you require?” “Adaptability. You must be able to rec- ognize an occasion and rise to -it. Here's a case in point. Suppose we take a liking to a piece of territory and reach out after it.” “You want a martial lyric then, don’t you?” “Nothing of the kind. You want to give ts something soothing. You must get down your lyre and your note book, and compose @ convincing ditty on how glorious a thing it is to be wolloped and gobbled, provided, of course, that it be done by the proper And the poet-laureate mopped his brow, whittled a few chips off his lead-pencil, cast his eyes heavenward, and murmured: Du niet tue all; but it isn’t any sinecure.” _ THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. | ee = ables Pstnis Royal.
