— ¥ THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRAY... February 7, 1596. «.-Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has ne competitor. 7 In order to avoid delnys, on ac- fount of personal absence, letters to > STAR should not be addressed individual connected with the © lee, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial! or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. ‘The Long Bridge Dam. Had there been anv ice in the Potomac this week it is likely tuat yesterday's fierce rain storm would have caused a disastrous ficod in the streets of Washington. The Long Bridge dam would surely have blocked the free flow of the ice and the swollen currents, and the scenes of 1877, 1X81 and 1889 would doubtless have been repeated. The bridge has not been a particle im- proved in this respect since the last inun- daticn, but has been rather made more of an obstruction to the channel, and the fierce down-pour of rain that lasted, with few intervals, for many hours, could have had but one result. But happily for the business interests of the city, the January thaw cleared the river of ice and averted the immediate danger, thogh there is no guarantee that the spring will not bring a grave peril. The river is ordinarily broad ard deep enough to carry away all thé water and ice that may come rushing dowa from the upper region drained by it, but it fs yy handicapped by the bridge- @am, hung low and set obliquely, so that even with free piers if would be a menace. But when the piers were surrounded by great piles of rock and rubble in a parsi- monious effort to-keep the bridge from being carried away, the channel was re- duced by one-third, and the danger of In- undation was correspondingly increased. And yet the railroad company that enjoys the free use of this bridge as a causeway connecting the north and the south arro- ntly resists all efforts to secure a new, safe and commodious structure. If it were not for the consequent damage to property seriou, and the costly interruption of freight and passenger traffic with the south, it wouid be a pity that a freshet does not come along and sweep the abominable old affair down the river, and so put an end to the whole controversy. ——___+++ —_~+ Au Unwise Measure. ‘There Is already heard a great deal of complaint against the bill recently intro- duced in the House by Mr. Loud amending the laws relating to second class mail mat- ter. The principal object of this measure iis to prohibit from the privileges of this lassification the periodical prints of books und issues of newspapers containing com- plete stories, sample copies of journals, ai- manacs issued by newspaper companies, and other such material, it also forbids news “comipanies and other distributing agencies with whom periodicals of the sec- ond class are placed for sale to return un- t the pound rate. It extends the se to periodicals is- a by lodges, societies and other similar organizations and seeks to define the lim- s class of mail matter by ulations that are unjust to the newspaper publishing tusiness. The effect of this law would be to cut off the cheap supply of good, wholesome literature from the people whose means are insufficient to give them access to works of this char- acter in any other way. It would interfere, 1, with the spread of newspaper read- restricting the business of handling + enormous quantities of printed papers - sent daily and hourly from the and it would thereby 2 the amount of printing and publishing done in the country and would throw many mem- bers of a most worthy craft out of em- While there are con ummation of which would be undoubt- edly wholesome, the solution is not reached » Loud bill, which is too comprehen- and seeks to cover tov many points in single measure. The bill as now drawn rves to be defeated. ——___ + 2+ ____ Valuable Weather Service. ‘The effict of the Weather Bureau has been well demonstrated in the past few days. Monday Chief Moore sent a message to those in charge of the stranded steam- ship St. Paul, informing them that they might expect a heavy wind from the north- west ard a high sea within a few hours that would probably be the means of float- ing the vessel. Accordingly, precautions Were redoubled and everything was held in readin for an extra effort to puil the ship off the bar when the promised storm ould come. It arrived on schedule time, and the vessel was hauled free as a result of the increased draught caused by the heavy blow from the northeast. Wednesday danger signals were displayed on the Gulf ard south Atlantte coasts, warning mari- ners to remain in port, and in a few hours @ severe storm developed, passing from the Gulf to eastern North Carolina. It is a "t rule of marine insurance that a ves- t leaves port while a danger signal hoisted by order of the Weather Bureau Is flying assumes all risks of the voyage, and hence It is fcally certain that the slz- pals were generally observed, and there is no calculation possible of the amount of property thus saved from the storm, which has now increased to the inteusity of a hur- rican. These achievements by the bureau more than counterbalance the occasional defaults in accuracy from time to time that, as a rule, bear only upon local condi- tions that do not affect any great values. ——_~ += __ There is no doubt that if it becomes essary to call in the army to suppress ng the soldiers will do their duty, un- nial as the employment may be. Even the colored troops may oe relied on to rharge uuflinchingly on a crap game if or- dered to do so. —_~ e+ __ Mayor Pingree should at least concede the fact that many of the cities in this country are doing their best, even if they cannot quite succeed in being Detroit. —————-22-___ The departure of Mr. Harrison from the ranks of the candidates relieves the press- ure a little hut there is still a tendency to complain of overcrowding. ——_+ «= __ When Spain gets through with its war on Rewspaper correspondents it may resume its fighting with the insurgents. ———_+ ++ ____ The Urvan Claim. Lendon Chronicle asserts that Secre- Olmey has informed the Venezuelan jt that his government must claim for indemnity account of the Uruan in t. The Chron- icle claims to ha ormation that Mr. Oley his been devcting considerable time of late to a stndy of this matter, and bas come to the conclusion that the demand for damages is entirely separate from the bourdary question. If this be true, Secre- tary Olney must have the best of reasons for his judgement, and he should lose no time In making plain the facts and logical Process leading up to the formation of this opinion, so contrary to the view generally accepted. The only premise supporting such a deduction is that while the Vene- zuelan government sincerely believed the territory in question to belong to it Ly right, its agents exceeded their legitimate authority in arrestirg British agenis occu- Bying the disputed land. This action of on Venezuela's subordinates, however, was the direct and logical outcome of the misunde! standing as to the boundary lines, and how the two can possibly be separated is not clear. It has been suggested that perhaps Venezuela might pay the indemnity de- manded with the distinct understanding that such an action would. not involve an acknowledgment of the virtue of the Brit- ish claims to the territory. It would be d:fficult to frame the suggested statement, for if the Venezuelan position with regard to the boundary be correct, and if, there- fore, the territory on which the alleged ovtrages were committed should belong to the South American republic, then that country had an unquestionable right to er- rest invaders. Thus far the two subjects are inseparable. What occurred beyond the point of arrest is a matter for further ecnsideration. If the English agents were treated with cruelty, or if they were sub- jected to unnecessary measures of discl- pline, then there begins to appear some shadow of a claim that is distinct from the territorial dispute. It may be that division of the subject to which Mr. Olney has now addressed himself. —_++2+_____ A Good Investment. The work of collecting funds for the ex- penses of the coming Christian Endeavor convention is about to be actively begun. The local members of that great and beneficent organization have raised $10,000, or two-fifths of the required sum, among themselves, and are now seeking to secure the remainder from the business men of Washington, who should regard. their sub- scriptions as good investments and give liberally. Such a convention will be a great benefit to the ci when viewed either morally or financially, and the hotel and street railway men, the merchants and all publie spirited citizens should recognize in the invitation of the committee of en- deavorers who are about to canvass the city an opportunity worthy of immediate acceptance. The sum of $15,000 ought to be quickly raised. —_ + +e _—___ It should in some way be possible for the Commissioners to give the District printing to District printers. Power to award this work outside the city should operate to prevent the possibility of excessive charges by the local men. But the District govern- ment should not be subjected toghe delays, annoyances, inconveniences and occasional losses through the performance of this work at a distance, and as far as it is practicable this portion of the District's tax money should be expended among those by whom it is most largely contributed. + ee Advocates of total abstinence who object to the breaking of a bottle of wine over the prow of a ship newly launched hardly need to have their attention called to the fact that that is not the bottle from which trouble Is to be feaged. : — ¢ - —__ The new American ambassador will, it Is hoped, not find it necessary for his peace of mind to assure Germany that it con- tains the greatest poet, musician, cartoon- ist and emperor in the world. ——__ + e = —__ It is hoped that Washington's town coun- cil on Capitol Hill will not be,so, dazgled by its opportunities for mixing into national affairs as to neglect the natural sentiment of local pride. ——___+« Perhaps it is a point in favor of the Cu- bans that they do not feel it necessary to exhaust their energies in getting up news- reports of victories which did not occur. —- see —_ Major McKinley's fribnds ‘do not feel dis- posed to chances with Mr. cumstane Foraker. than the cir- In the eagerness for advertisement some of the country’s prominent men lose their heads with almost as much industry as the actresses lose thelr diamonds. — Indiana’s position in the presidential fight suggests that it might be desirable for an ambitious state to have the role ef favorite son well understudied. ——_+ +2 ____ Although good working days are scarce enough at this season there were only ninety-five men engaged on the city post office building today. —<~e+____.
