THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY... «February 27, 1896. CROSBY S. NOYES. .Editor. THE “EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined ch culntion of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR shogld not be addressed to any individual connected with the y to THE STAR, or to the Editorinl or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Will Pass the Free Library Bill. ‘The last of the congressional objectors @ia not vanish with the promotion of Kil- gore ard the defeat of Holman, but it is rot likely that there is to be found In the present Congress either senator or repre- sentative who can make any reasonable objection to the free public Hbrary bill which the Board of Trade is anxious to have enacted into law and which The Star has so consistently and persistently cham- pioned. The necessity for such legislation was made plain to the House District com- mittee yesterday, and from the expressions voluntarily given by members of the com- mittee at the close of the hearing it seems that a favorabie report will re- sult. The measure is devoid of any com- plications likely to arouse even the faintest show of antagonism; it provides only for the establishment and maintenance of an instituiion which would long have been tn existence had the people of Washington the right of self-government. Blessed with an admirable public school system—still in- sufficiently supported In some respects—the nation's caplial has had to contend with the educational weakness consequent upon the absence of a municipal public library og the modern type. The condition has been more than remarkable. Hardly a town of eny note in the older states and very few towns In the new ones have been without such likrary facilities, but the capital of the nation lacked an essential feature in its system of municipal education. If the ressional spirit has been accurately ed there will be ro such hiatus at the close of the present session. ——~ e+ A Political Mix-Up. Whether the free-silver apostles in the Senate have helped or hindered their cause by their uncompromising opposition to the revenue bill is a matter that time and the forthcoming elections only can make plain, but it ts certain that net for many years has there been such a mixed-up condition ef political affairs as now prevails. And the condition seems Hkely to continue for a on, for those who are now most con- ‘uous in their advocacy of free silver ne to leave the republican party, al- though many of their followers want them to, while some of their unwilling republican associates are earnest in suggesting divorce peoceedings. Free silver men who are also «lemocrats are equally unwilling to forsake their party entirely; they hold on to mem- bership with a vigor which suggests that their faith in the silver idol ts of the sort that wavers. White metal republicans and lemocrats alike seem imbued with the missionary spirit that hopes against hope for the conyerston of both the old organiza- tions, and to this spirit they have added that variety of cautious shrewdness which was conspicuously absent in the dog who lost his beefsteak’and was immortalized by sos ——+ +2 _____ Undemocratic Democracy. The minority report of the House commit- tee on foreign affairs on the resolution to censure Ambassador Bayard for his almost untversally condemned speeches on Ameri- ©an public life and politics is, of course, a purely democratic document. ‘This same report, however, has In it most undemo- tic doctrine, for it Is there stated that proposed action is unwarranted and nted. Represeniatives of the Unt- in foreign countries are, properly “1 exclusively, as to the regulation of the of their conduct, under the direc- 2 and control of the executive depart- ment of the government, and any Interfer- ence by Congress in this respect can only ve the effect of detracting from the dig- sity and usefulness of our foreign service.” ‘The underlying sentiment of that announce- ment is so nearly monarchical that think- ing people may reasonably wonder what jatter-day democracy Is coming to. It 1s not easy to suppose that Thomas Jefferson ever thought it Hkely that those who claim to be his followers would favor the abso- lutism whith ts openly advocated by the democratic minority of the House commit- tee on fe . thi reat Is Maine! What h: me to be an ordinary feature of Washington’ 's social existence is the state reunion. Every little while there come to- xether In this cosmopolitan community the people who are natives of some one or other of the states. They meet to glorify their birthplace and to enjoy the exchanges of miniscence and news and gossip In which they are particularly interested. Conspicu- eus among the reunions which have been held here of late years was that of the sons and daughters of Maine which took + last evening. Pri of birth is not a bad thing when it fs the right kind of pride; a great majority of mankind possess it in some form or other. It was conspicuous lest night and justly so, for while the people of the various states of the Union have in the history of their respective states much ever which they love to exult none has a heritage which outranks that which was the subject of proper congratulation in the mbly of Maire folks who are temporar- or perinanently residents of the national capital. pla ——_—_—_+-e+____ Men Are Cheaper Than Wires. It wili now be tn order for some one to ue that had Lineman McKnee, who was uted by an electric-light wire yes- terday evening, been standing on a slate roof or a shingle roof or any other kind of a roof except that made of tin, he might perhaps have survived a shock of two thousand volts; such an argument will probably come from those who believe it to be the right thing to keep in service wires from which the insulating covering has long since been completely worn. ‘To be sure, it would have cost a few dollars to have the wire rendered comparatively harmless, but the necessary repairs were neglected. Men are so much cheaper than wires. ry —_____ «= _____ Lord Dunraven should be made to prom- ise In connection with his apology that he will not write a book on this country as soon as the American publiie’s back Is turned. a ——_— A New Road From Chicngo—Mayhbe. A gasoline railroad from a western city probably Chicago—to Washington was the proposition outlined recently In a special to The Star from Springfield, Ohio. The Ohio section of the franchise seems to kaye been agreed upon and construction 1s prom- ised as soon as the preliminaries have been “settled. The plan is to run the cars through over the old National road--a his- toric thoroughfare. Just what the Ohio jegislature has dene or is doing in this mat- ter is not quite clear but it is far from casy to tmagine that any legislature not entirely corrupt would grant a right of way on a public road to @ corporation bent upon competing with steam railroads. It will be admitted by anyone that competition in all lines of business is desirabie, for it both itnproves and cheapens the product, but there are times when competition costs the public much more than the public can af- WHE iEVENING STAR, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 1896-TWELVE PAGES, ford to pay. The paralleling of steam- operated roads by this gasoline concern would doubtless result, for awhile, In re- duced rates of transportation but the tri- fling advantage thus gained would be much more than offset by the loss of a public high- |. way for which tens of thousands of peuple have daily use. No sane, unpurchased per- son would think of permitting a steam- railroad to acquire a right of way on a county-road; why then should the danger- ous and unfair privilege be given to a corporation which proposes to move its cars at high rates of speed by some other motive-force than steam? The one is 20 more objectionable than the other. In view of the country-wide agitation against grade-crossings it 1s quite improbable that the National road will be handed over to this new corporation by the states tray- ersed by it; if the gasoline road is ever constructed it will surely have to acquire the necessary land as other railroads do— by private purchase or by condemnation. ——__ ++. — An Unsatisfied Equity. American sympathy in recent South Afri- can matters has been largely with the Boers. It was the natural thing to admire the sturdy courage and other desirable qualities displayed Ly the transplanted Dutchmen who were resisting what ap- peared to be a land-grabbing operation on the part of England. One phase of the question has, however, received less of American attention than It dese! for it concerns a number of Americans—a num- ber which is steadily increasing—who are doing their utmost to achieve fortunes in the Transvaal. In that state the absolute rulers are the Boers; fourteen thousand men in all. Then there is an Uitlander population of one hundred and twenty thousand people, most of them either Prit- ish by birth or descent, many of them Americans. The Boers have set their faces against every proposition that looked to- ward progress; they are content with ex- clusively pastoral pursuits and would, if they possibly could, prevent further devel- opment of the Transvaal. The Uitlanders contribute nine-tenths of the entire reve- nue and own, by actual purchase of the sofl, more than one-half of the whole coun- try, yet they are without representation in the government and have undoubtedly been hampered in many legitimate enterprises which their intelligence and energy have planned and in some instances carried out. Already does the Transvaal export of gold amount annually to about $40,000,000, and it is reasonably estimated by conservative men that within four or five years the gold exports will amount to $100,000,000, or one- third of the world’s gold output. Such Weaith will not long remain speechless and unless the Boers speedily evolve some plan by which the Uitlanders shall share equita- bly in governmental affairs thera is noth- ing more probable than a revolution which may easily result in the complete elimina- tion of the Boer as a South African factor. ——_< 02 ___ Conscience and Business. A remarkable distinction was that made yesterday by the attorney for the Central Pacific railroad befcre a committee of the House of Representatives engaged in the consigeration of Pacific railroad matters. As is well understood, the Pacific railroads are now engaged in an extremely earnest effort to avoid anything that looks like a settle- ent of their indebtedness to the United States. Questions were being fired at the attorney by Representative Boatner and in reply to one of them Mr. Hubbard said that if Mr. Boatner “wanted to know what a man of sensitive conscience would do under such circumstances he would reply that ne might make further provisions for the debt, as suggested; but ff the matter was put as a business proposition he would say that there was no requirement that such a policy should be followed.” From the Pacific rail- roads’ standpoint it 1s probably trus that conscience and business are entirely disas- sociated, but {t must not be accepted as a general truth that American men of busl- ness are deaf to the promptings of the “still small voice." If the Pacific railroads had been constructed and managed by men pos- sessed of sensitive consciences the chances are that five or six men who acquired vast wealth under purely “business” conditions would never have been more than moder- ately rich, while the money loaned would long ago have been repata. ———___«-_ Canada will be considerably in evidence in the Americen University established by the Methodists in the District of Columbia. That good seed has been sown north of the international beundary line is evident from the will of the late H. A. Massey of To- ronto. Mr. Massey bequeathed over a mil- lion dollars to charitable and religious In- stitutions, located mainly in the Dominion, but fifty thousand dollars were set apart for the erecticn of a university building which will represent Canadian Methodism at the capital of the republic. This sum will surely be augmented by dther dona- tions made for the seme purpose.

Modern Adventure. “Yes,” said the major, as he twisted his mustache and balanced himself on his tip toes, “I have had some very exciting mo- ments in my lfe; big risks and hatr- breadih escapes and all that sort of thing, you know.” And in all innocence she exclaimed: “Why, really, major, I didn't know you rede a bicycle!” Almost Due.
