6 - THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY.,.,........Febraary 20, 1596. CROSBY S. NOYES. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Cirevlation much more thun the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7 Ia order to avoid delays, on nc- count of personal absence, letters to ‘HE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but s{mply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, 2ecording to tenor or purpose. = ‘The National Bont-Racing Course. ms now to be definite under- the effect that eight-oared crews ersities of Harvard, Pennsyl- from the u vania, nbia and Cornell will in June next commence a series of boat races sim- flar to that have been rowed for so many years between the universities of Ox- = and Cambridge.

It would there- fore be ths proper thing for every possessor of a flagto honor the memery of the flag's creator by flying it from housetop or win- dow on Washington's birthday. People who do not own flags should make an effort to buy, borrcw or beg one, so that the work of decoration and remembrance may be as nearly as possible unanin ous. ——_—_+ = ___ It fs well that the declaration of inde- pendence did not have to wait for a con- vention of lady-revolutionists to come to gn amicable agreement over it. soe —___ Moving Toward Arbitration. Nearly a hundred years have passed into history since Washington's farewell address was delivered by its distinguished author; @ century of industry ard advancement to which history presents no parallel; yet so far as England and the United States have been concerned It has been a century of international friction, of chip-wearing, of tail-twisting, and other devices c@iculated to provoke ill-will on both sides of the Atlantic. But in spite of the ny dis- agreements there is steady growth of pub- Uc sentiment in favor of a permanent court ef arbitration in which the United States @ THE’ bal oo: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1896~“T'WELVE’ PAG and Great Britain shall settle whatever differences of opinion may efiée afte the organization of that court. Perhaps there is a due sense of the eternal fi things in the plans which provid assembly of a conference in favor of intar- national arbitration in the city of Brother- ly Love next Saturday, which is Washing- ton’s birthday. The conference is nbdt merely local to Philadelphia; addresses will be delivered by Americans of note from many other citles, among those on the pro- gram being Bishop Potter, Chauncey M. Depew, William E. Dodge, I. CO. Cadwalla- der, H. E. Howland, James M. Beck, Judge Ashman, Dr. Austin Abbott, Edward At- lxinson, Rev. Dr. Washington Gladden, Prof. J. B. Thayer, W. E. Curtis, W. Hud- son Shaw, Felix Adler, Robert Treat Payne and President Raymond of Union College. Some of the sessions wilt be held in Inde- pendence Hall, and ft is the sincere belief of those who have arranged for this re- markable series of meetings that the sug- gestions proffered therein will result in something tangible. The object of the con- ference is worthy of all encouragement. There should be no possibility of war be- tween the two great English-speaking na- tions. Se The Captains Are Capable. Americans who are interested In ocean travel_and their number is legion—will be pleased to learn that Capt. Jamieson, of the American liner. St. Paul, was not In any way responsible for the recent misfortune of that sieamer when it went ashore on the Jersey coast. Capt. Jamieson’s personality cuts but a small figure in the matter; the cheerful fact developed is that which re- asserts the high average of Seamanship to be found on the floating palaces which materially connect this country with the countries of the old world. Ocean disasters have not, unfortunately, been infrequent but none of them can be ascribed to the in- efficiency of those who were in command. Engines and boilers haye gone wrong, shafts have broken and structural weak- 3 have developed under the strain of vy seas and hurricanes, but testimony is almost unanimous to the effect that the controling spirits were thoroughly capable and did all that was in their power to al- viate the dangerous and distressing condi- tons. ——— += ____ It is not too much to say that millions of Americans pathize with “Bill™ Nye, who is si to be dying as the result of overwork and para Evidences of in- position have been apparent in some of is Tecent contributions to humorous Iftera- ture but the general pubiic had no idea that he who for twenty years had amused the realing population of the country with his in anything like a dangerous Recovery is said to be improba- impossible; the announcement from puttir retary C. ‘s latest communication to the democratic members of the Kentucky 1 lature.
