THE EVENING § STAR has a regu ar and permanent Family Circulation wauch more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies, As a News a Advertising Medium it has no competitor. tlm order te aveid delays, on nc- 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 Editerial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. The District Budget. It is disappointing, but by no means sur- prising, that the House aprropriations com- mittee made great reductions in the Com- missioners’ estimates for the local budget of 18I7, for the history of congressional ap- propriations is that ail estimates are scaled down radically at the start, in order, ap- parently, to obtain a basis for the nouses to work upon. The record of such matters Is that the House usually increases the bull and the Senate goes still further and adds to the total, while a compromise is struck in conference that gives an aggregite greater that the House bill but less than the Senate bill. In this way the appropria- tions committee's recommendations may generally be taken as the minimum point of the bill, and im this light yesterday's ac- tion by the committee is not so thoroughly Giscouraging as it might at first seem. Last year the committee recommended a budzet aggregating $5,180,187.07, a reduction of 51,- from the Commissioners’ estimates. year the committee recommends $5, exclusive of the water depa: as against the estimate of the Com- "Thus ment, missioners aggregating 37,401,357 there fs a larger amount recommended this year than last, although the estimates were cut more seriously than in 189%, Last year bill passed the House carrying $,i02,- 107.25, and the Senate committee recom- mended a bil aggregating $6,004,137.25. In practically this shape the bill was passed y the Senate, and it then went into con- from which it emerged carrying being a total increase over the committee's recommendations of 6. In view of the fact that the House committee's recommendations are some- what higher this year than in 1895, the bill as it finally becomes a law will undoubtedly contain materially more than in 1895, and it may be and should be increased over the House present hasis in close proximity to the Commissioners’ estimates, which are based vpon the District’s probable revenue. This municipality is a vigorously growing youth, and trousers will of last year’s size and cut much too small for it. of the decreases made from the rs’ estimates are extremely un- fertunate, and these items ought to be re- pliced in the bill by one or other of the houses and fought for zealously in confer- ence. The appropriations for sewers were cut down too radically, as this item con- tains several vitally impertant features of public improvement that are necessary in the interest of the public health. The pub- lic schools, too, do not receive the increases that are required by the advance in the Drs population, while the police and tire fet departments were given the most im- material increases as compared with the de- mands. The raise of fifteen policemen in the force is wholly inadequate. There are ottier items in which the committee scaled down the Commissioners’ estimates that will undoubtedly attract the attention of some of the District's friends in the House and Senate, and arouse them to energetic action when the bill comes up for consid- eratiqn and passag +2 ——_ The Commissioners’ Reply. As anticipated, the Commissioners have replied to the McMillan resolution that the police regulation concerning the speed of carriages at certain crossings, which has lately been brought into question, is based on a desire to protect the people alighcing from street cars at important Junctions. The regulation is broad enough to cover other busy points than the 7th “treet junction, for it refers to all intersections of street car nes. This, of course, includes such places as 9th and F streets, where the divergence of F street from the true line creates a most awkward and dangerous condition. It also takes in the exceedingly had junction at the corner of New Yerk avenue and 15th street, and there is a special provision against vehicles going faster than a walk the entire length of 15th street from Pennsylvania avenue to the north line of New York avenue. The Commissioners, in their reply, call attention to the fact that @ man has already been killed as a result of reckless driving at the Ith street junction, and they contend that the regulation in question has resulted in & complete cessation of accidents there. If the horse owners and drivers believe that it is dangerous to cross such tracks as at 7th street and Pennsylvania avenue at a walk the most reasonable cemedy, it seems, would be for them to go a little out of their regular routes to avoid such emer- gencies. Ih view of the fact that the regu- lation ts intended mainly if not solely to protect the passengers boarMing and leav- ing the cars at the function points, it woul? seem to be fair, however, to give some relief to the horse-owners by permit- ting them te cross the 7th street tracks at the avenue at a trot on the north side, as suggested by The Star last evening. the main regard should be for the pedes- trlans and for the transferring passengers. ———__ + +e —___ The Free Public Library. The free library bill is making excellent headway. Today the full Serate committee on the District followed the lead of the sub- committee in charge of the measure and or- dered a favorable report to the Senate, with strong arguments appended that should send the bill through the upper house in short order. The report on the bill is con- clusive evidence of the need for prompt ac- tien by Congress, and it is earnestly hoped that the bill will be pressed energetically and quickly to a favorable issue. ————~+2____ England may yet find it necessary to make a man pass a civil service examina- tiom before he can be eligible to the posi- tion of poet-laureate. ——____ + e+ ___ Senater Tillman’s oratorical dispensary bas evidently been working over-time. ‘The proposition of the House appropria- tions committee to open up the contracts for public gas and electric lighting to com- petition looks startling at first glance, for it contains the possinility that the city’s streets may be torn up from end to end for the laying of new gas mains and wire conduits. Particular provision is made that in case the lowest responsible bidder should not be provided with a system of Pipes or wires placed underground for gas er electric lighting the Commissioners may authorize such bidders to supply the defi- clency. This would be an alarming prospect if there were any strong probability of its ever culminating, but there is reason to believe that while the action of the appro- Priations committee will result in a reduc- tion of the cost of public gas and electric lighting and will thereby be a distinct boon to the community, this end will be sccomplished without disturbifig the streets and avenues and without inconveniencing the citizens In the least. Of courge no Jompany, however desirous of obtaining the t, could hope to compete with an already existing plant, especially when the committee makes a maximum price that is cohsiderably lower than the present rates: paid for gas and. electric lights. The pre- semption {fs that the present companies will obtain the contracts and therefore it is a wise precaution on the part of the commit- tee to establish a maximum rate at a ma- terial reduction as compared with the pres- ent prices. A drop from $20.50 to $16 a lamp per annum is about 20 per cent reduction in the item of gas, and the com- mittee has with good judgment required that each lamp shall burn every night of the year instead of allowing 3,000 hours as at present. In the matter of electric lignts the reduction is from 40 to 28 cents a night per lamp, a reduction of 30 per cent. Un- questionably the two monopolies that now enjoy the local field can well afford to make considerable reductions and in the face of possible competition they will probably do so tf the provision of the ap- Propriations committee should become a law. Indeed it would be advantageous to the present companies to provide the municipality with illumination gratuitously in order to be certain of a continuation of the private patronage that is so profitable. Should the two houses agree to this prop- osition the next step in order will be to pass a bill requiring the gas company to reduce its rates to private consumers. It is probable that should the provision for a contract at reduced rates for public light- ing go into effect the gas company would put up a still poorer mouth than ever and plead small profits with the usual array of figures based on watered stock and capital- ized improvements that have been more or less successful in the past In convincing congressional committees that the business of providing gas to the people of Washing- ton is little else than a philanthropic en- terprise. —___ 0+ -__—_— Cuban Independence. The Cuban resolutiers recommended to the Senate by the majority of the commit- tee on foreign relations of that body the | other day merely recognize the fact that @ war exists in the island and make no specific request upon the President to ex- tend an official recognition to the belliger- ents suck as would give them an Interna- tional standing at this capital On the other ‘hand they ask for practical results that are out of the question as long as Spain maintains her present attitude to- ward the insurgents. There is no doubt that every American heart will sympathize with the petition that the home govern- ment should grant to the rebellious colonies the common privileges of warfare, the flag of truce, the inviolability of hespitals and the exchange of prisoners, privileges that are common in every war between civilized nations and are often given by a nation to its rebellious subjects. But it ts practi- cally certain that the request to Spain for such an action as the Senate committee's resolutions contemplate would be promptly denied inasmuch as the Madrid government has not yet acknowledged the fact of the existence of a warfare In the islands, and is not likely te do so at our suggestion. Spain will doubtless continue to pretend that the affair is the mere riotous uprising of a few outlaws, though all the world is coming to understand that the Inhabitants of the island are im a serious revolt in a war for independence. The recognition of belligerency is purely an executive act that cannot be accom- plished by congressional legislation. It can, however, be hastened by the passage by Congress of a resolution favoring the rec- ogniticn of the insurgents by this govern- ment, which would give the administra- tion assurance of support by public senti- ment in taking this step. The practical act of recognition would probably take the form of the reception by the President of @ deputation from the Cuban government. This would give the agents of the imsur- gent organization a diplomatic status, and, the fact of beiligerency having been thus publicly aad practically acknowledged, the Isurgents would then have the right to come into the open market of the United States for the purchase of arms, ammuni- tion and other materials of warfare which they so sadly need today.
