WASHINGTON. CROSBY 8S. KOYES..... - -Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular | and permanent Family Circulntion much more thun the combined cir- | culation of the other Washington dailies. As News and Advertising Medium it 1s no competitor. 57 Im order to nvoid delays, on ac- count of persona} absence, letters to THE STAR should uot 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. Striking an Equitable Balance. Mr. De Armond has raised the question of the obligations of the United States in respect to the debt incurred between 1370 and 1878 in making Washington a credit- able national capital. Nearly all of this indebtedness was contracted by officiais not chosen by the District, but placed over its affairs by the general government in carrying out those “magnificent inten- tiens” concerning the capital, which by the eriginal plan the nation and not the Dis- triet was te execute. Mr. De Armond thinks that the nation does not and ought Het assume one-half of this indebtedness. If the settlement of 1878 is to be reopened the District wil! desire to submit some equitable considerations which tend to demonstrate that the nation ought to bear the entire expense. The general government, by the fact of Planning a magnificent capital, covering a large area and characterized by broad streets, avenues and reservations to an extent unsuitable for a self-supporting commercial city, and by founding this cepital in a place comparatively unin- habited, as well as by the terms of the bargain with the owners of the il, 2nd by the declarations of its representatives at the founding of the city and afterward, showed an intention to build up a national city at the nation’s expense, on a grand scale, irrespective of the future popula- tion of the District. The vapital was to be primarily a center of fetlefal action, and the occupation of the ground by settlers was merely incidental to this great pur- pose. It was to be a meeting place for the use, convenience and entertainment of the people of the entire nation, controlled ex- clusively by Congress and owned largely by the government, and the expense of its support and adornment was not to be limited by the scanty resources of what permanent population it might acquire. In connection with the gift to it of nearly three-fourths of the soil of Washington, in order to sell lots carved from this gift, the nation promised that Washington should be the permanent seat of government, and pretended that this permanent capital would be improved largely at the expense of its naticnal owner and manager. Hav- ing secured this magnificent donation and pocketed the proceeds from the sale of lots the nation utterly failed to meet its prom- fses. It frequently threatened to remove the capital, which meant of course the Geath of Washington. It practically aban- doned the work of street improvement and capital making to the scanty resident pop- ulation. For more than thirty years, dur- ing which period $700,000 had been realized from the szle of lets pledged for the bene- fit of improvements, its expenditures upon strects and avenues, which were its exclu- sive property, were less than $100 per year, and its annual appropriations since that time until a recent period in the city’s his- tory have been widely varying in amount and at the best inadequate. In 1878 the government, which bad in the beginning implicdly undertaken to meet all the ex- penses of capital making, and then shifted that burden in the main upon private citi- zens, decided that justice required it to pay one-half of the District's expenses. The payment of this rroportion by the United States as the untaxed owner of one- balf the city property, end as interested to that extent in all improvements had been urged by Senator Southard in 1835. He also advocated the reimbursement to the District of whatever it had expended in the past beyond its just proportion. Congress has followed only one-half of Senator Southard’s advice. If justice requires that the government should pay a certain pro- portion of District expenses now, both jus- tice and consistency demand that it should pay the same proportion of the expenses of the years of its indifference and neglect. From 179 to 1878, according to the report of a Secretary of the Treasury, the people of Washington had expended $14,000,000 more than the United States in the nation’s task of capital making. in addition to 325,- 000,000 spent in local government, schools and for other municipal purposes. A bal- ance should be struck, and whatever sum Is necessary to make the expenditures of the general government upon the national capital equal to those of its citizens for the entire period of the city’s life should be credited to the District. ‘This just and equitable credit would much more than wipe out the District's share of the debt of 1870 and adjacent years. If the nation at Mr. De Armond’s suggestion fs to reconsider its action of 1878, instead of shirking any part of the obligation then in- curred it should apply the just half-and- half principle to the entire expense of capi- tal making from the very beginning, and as ® result assume the whole indebtedness of 1870. —__~ e+ —_____ Gen. Maceo to The Star. Lieutenant General Antonlo Maceo of the Cuban army speaks to the people of Wash- ington today through The Evening Star in & letter which appears elsewhere In this issue. The Star's news service from Cuba has been most complete and satisfactory from the beginning of the present difficul- ty and it has been able te publish such im- pertant documents as this on more than one occasion. Recently The Star's corre- spondent In the island sent a tong und val- uable interview with President Cisneros of the Cuban republic, followed a iittle later by a talk with Gen. Maximo Gomez, and now comes this very interesting letter from the commander who is reguarded as Gomez’ first Heutenant in the war for Cuban lb- erty. Gen. Maceo writes with enthusiasm and there fs evidence throughout hus letter of a confidence in the ultimate success of his cause that should cheer the friends of Cuba in this country. ————~--___ Lord Dunraven should realize that the Soorer he apologizes the less time it will take both hemispheres to forget the spec- tacle he has made of himself. ————————+o+____ ‘There seems to be an impression that this country’. coest defences are too fragile t> be treated with anything but the tenderest consideration. ee Mr. Allison’s acmirers are prompt and emphatic in advising Mr. Harrison’s sup- pert to gu west. ——————-_o+_____. “May God Save the Commonwealth.” The business world will echo the words used by Serator Morrill when he reported “May God save the commonwealth.” The financial fanatics of the upper house are seemingly not satisfied with their spec- tacular success of last week in making a coinage bill out of a bond measure, lay the touch of thelr on every piece of nation- that fs proposed.

There will be general gratification over the announcement that the-American Line steamship St. Paul has been hauled off from the sand bar that has held her so tenaciously for many days. The accident that placed her in her hazardous position seems to have been unavoidable, and there is no disposition to blame any one for it. ‘There has been almost a national interest in the efforts to float the great ship, for she belongs to a fleet of which the Ameri- can people are very proud, and there was widespread regret when the news came that a dense fog had caused her to go ashore on the Jersey coast. It has been a remarkable struggle that has followed, a Mayer Bros. & Co., 937-939 F St. fight between steam power and the insid- | ious, powerful sands. Foot by foot the leviathan has been worked seaward until today, with a flood tide and a strong wind from the northeast hanking up the waters on the coast, she was slid out into the cpen sea, free once again. It is most fortunate that she comes off from the sand bar unharmed. She has had several mis- haps since she was built, beginning with her launch, when she stuck on the ways, and it is to be hoped that the hoodoo that has seemed to follow, her has been satis- fled at last. 6 The Bond Issue. Tomorrow will tell the tale of the bond issue. Bids fer the government securities are to be opened at noon, under circum- stances that go to make this the most in- teresting affair of its kind for many years. ‘There are evidences at hand that the entire iseue of 310,000,000 will be subserihed, and the main question is whether the Treasury will be able to place the entire ioan at favorable rates or be compelled to split it Up among many subscribers at such widely varying prices as to reduce the average Premium to a lew point. Apparently the dissolution ef the Morgan syndicate has not operated to check the popularity of the loan among the bankers, if the pre- iminary reports be true, and it “now re- mains to be seen just how far the pzople themselves will seek the bonds for invest- ments. It is hardly to be expected under the limitations of the present bidding that any considefable proportion of the bonds will go out to such buyers. ———~+-___ Mexico dces not desire the Maher-Fitz- simmens fight.
