4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY. ++-March 3, 1898. CROSBY S. NOYES. . Editor. THE EVENING STAR bas ao regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culntion of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. i Im order to avoid delays, om nc- count of personal absence, letters to SHE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to t Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. What Will the President Dot ‘The two houses of Congress in the mat- ter of Cubz have acted as they were ex- pected to act, In conformity with the wishes of the people. There is a difference, it is true, between their deliverances, but this is so easy of adjustment that it can- not possibly materially affect the final re- sult. In both the Senate measure and the Hovse measure is recognition of the vital fact involved, with all that attends it, and that is that a war is in progress in Cuba, that the insurgents are entitled to and have the sympathy of the American people, and that they shall come into these markets for supplies on the same terms as those en- doyed by Spain. This was the people's first and great commandment, and Con- gress has obeyed It. It is entirely natural that Spain should be in acute frritation over this action. She concedes none of the propositions laid down in this country. The insurgents, by her de- cree, are in her eyes only banditti, and she moves against them accordingly. Exter- mination is her treatment for that class, end she sends her soldier with the longest st of victims to his score to deal with them. So, when the Cubans are called patriots battling for rightful liberty by the Congress of the United States, and General Weyler is derounced as a butcher, and his policy repudiated as unworthy of a sol- ier, Spain flares up and feels herself in- sulted. But hdwever natural this may be on Spain's part, it is rot for this government to be in the alightest degree influenced by it in the farther steps to be taken in the premises. We are now definitely and un- alterably :ommitted, and our rule of action must be our own views and not Spain's views. To ber asertion that she will deal with her own in Cuba as she pleases, we reply, not to their bloody extermination. To her assertion that she Is the better judge as to whether the insurgents should be classed as banditti or patriots, we beg respectfully to differ from her. It is no Presumption on our part to claim and to assert that we know them better than she docs. She knows them only through the color of their money, which she has been foreing from them by millions, and by the ¥igor of their protests against her oppres- sions. They are our near neighbors, and we know them through both personal and commer tai intercourse. And to her asser- tion that it is none of our affair anyhow, we reply that for reasons entirely satisfac- tory to ourselves we have made it so to the extent of the action of Congress, and that we are to be reckoned with In future on that line. ‘There may be no necessity, for the pres- ent, to take serfous note of certain in- uations conveyed by the cables from Eurcpe touching influences at work here to accomplish results favorable to Cuba. however, that Cuban bonds are to be issued in a large sum, and por- tions distributed emong Senators and Rep- fives to control their official con- duct, recalls the fact that the same slander- watian question was up. Nobody of credit appeared for that, ner will anybody of credit appear for this. Abuse of the court by the party losing his case is a very old and harmiess occupation. Attention 1s fixed upon the President, in Exrope as well as in this country. What will he do? Spain undoubtedly expects him to balk Congress In some way. But Spain wholly mistakes the functions of his of- fice. She scems to have been learning of Mr. Bayard—a most unfortunate selection by her in the Ine of American authority. The Presiden: of the United States is neith- er the niaster nor the guardian of the People in this country, but their servant, their executive, holding his commission from them, and with his authority limited and defined. The people always remain the master. They expect and solicit Fis counsel and co-operation, but they never rush to him to be saved from themselves. They speak through Corgress, and while they invest the President with the power of veto, they yet provide that even his veto may be overruled by Congress in matters about which the legislature and the ex- ecutive «differ. The question of the full power of a con- eurrent resolution Is yet to be determined. It is inieresting and important. Competent Jawyers are investigating it. But however that point may be decided, the fact will Xemain that the American people want Cuba to be free, and they do not expect the President by any act of his to mis- represent them. ——_—+--+___ Au Example for the How: In the important matter of a free circulat- ing Nbrary for the people of the National Capital the Senate has set the House of Representatives an example which the House will unquestionably follow. Without a dissenting vote the Senate has indorsed the bill which has been so earnestly cham- Pioned by Senator McMillan, chairman cf the District Committee. Discussion of the details of the measure has now proceeded to such an extent that there is surely no more necessity for the presentation of argu- mentative facts; the House District Com- mittee has investigated the proposition with critical thoroughness, has fully developed every feature of the measure, and is now almost ready, it appears, to report favor- ably on the bill on which the Senate yester- day set the seal of its approval. Members of the House are, generally, well-informed as to the lack of public libraries in Wash- ington, and at least a majority of the legis- lators at the southern end of the Capitol know how much of justice there is in the cause already recognized by the other legis- lative branch. Framed in the public in- terest, based upon a businesslike equity, wholly devoid of undesirable provisions, and supported by everyone who has given the subject rational consideration, the free cir- culating-library bill shoulg speedily become a law. ——_~+s_ Compared to the United States Cuba is but a siall spot on the map. The length of time Spain has been engaged in the still uncompleted task of subduing that island should prempt her to pause before tackling anything so big as this country even if she were confideut to the final outcome. —— +s ___ No Plea of Poverty Cam Be Made. Washingtonians who have prayed at great length and with much fervor for the abolition of steam-railroad grade crossings within the city limits must view with grati- fication the remarkable exhibit of prosper- ity presented In the latest annual report of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. The figures are almost stupendous, and show conclusively that the company has on hand not to mention its credit—money enough to do ten times over all that reasonable People here have ever asked it to do. Dur- ing the year 1896 the gross earnings of the company amounted to $132,700,000; almost a Tecord-breaker, in spite of commercial de- Pression. Comparison with the figures in the preceding report shows a steady in- @rease of earnings to exceed one million dollars a month. Tremendous growth of the freight business ts the main cause of this betterment, there having been only a slight increase In passenger business. The actual expenses of operation foot up $92,- 800,000, an increane of $7,000,000 over the preceding year; which shows that niggard- Lness has had nothing to do with the al- most phenomenal success of this corpora- tion. More than three and a half millions were spent In Improvements, a considerable proportion of that sum having doubtless been expended in bringing about olsewhere the grade-crossings’ abolition, for which this city pleads so earnestly and so per- ststently. In view of the solid financial con- dition of the company, and bearing in mind representations recently made by some of the company’s highest officers, it is quite the reasonable thing to suppose that eleva- tion or depression of the Pennsylvania's tracks in Washington will not long be de- layed. All the conditions are ripe for such @ desirable consummation. Blessed with a plenitude of cash, handled by men whose business ability is unquestioned, the rail- road company is in a positton to do what it knows is the proper thing. That the invest- ment of two or three, or even four millions of dollars herein removing grade-cross- ings, building a new bridge across the Po- tomac and putting the station out on Penn- sylvania avenue—would be profitable in the Jong run canot be doubted. Washington grows steadily, and is daily becoming more and more beautiful and desirable as a place of residence for individuals and of resort for multitudes. Our railroad facilities are conspicuously defective whenever the city 4s invaded by such crowds as come to inau- gurations, and even to ceremonies cf less note. There is a manifest disposition here to deal fairly with any and all of the rail- roads that will move sincerely toward the abolition of grade-crossings; a disposition that will be equivalent to the services of many traveling passenger agents to the road that leads the way to refo-m. ——_- e+ ___ Stanford University is Safe. By deciding that individual stockholders in the Central Pacific Railroad Company are not Hable for the company’s indebtedness to the general government, the Supreme Court of the United States gave to Stanford Uni- versity a lease of life which may continue to the end of time. During the latter days of Senator Stanford’s career there was a great dea? of wild speculation as to the Senator's Wealth, and in the minds of most people exaggerated ideas were common. That the sum total exceeded fifteen millions of dol- lars Is reasonably sure, and it was for $15,- 237,000 that suit to recover was instituted by the United States. Had the government won its case the loser would not have been Mrs. Stanford—who has undoubtedly teen provided for—but Stanford University, to the support of which the estate is dedicated. Quite as important as the definition of in- dividual aad corporate Mability is the fact that the university will not die of poverty. Of that phase of the probabilities the Su- preme Court took no notice—it was dealing solely with the law—but the result of the decision affects many thousands who may never own railroad stock and who but for the educational facilities afforded by Stan- ford Untversity would never even achieve mediocrity in any business or professional pursuit. ———__++-_____ The present Is an era of lively journal- ism. The Cuban question has thrown an amount of sensational literature, describ- ing Weyler’s cruelties, into the Congres- sional Record that cannot fail to shock @ large number of old subscribers. And there is ground for epprehension that the troubles between the English and Ameri- can branches of the Salvation Army have dragged the always esteemed War Cry into a heated political discussion. —____ «2 _____ Members of the Northeagt Washington Citizens’ Association and others who are interested in the improvement of that sec- tion along with the rest of the city will be impressed with the hope that with a re- organization and new management the B. and O. railway may be brought to per- ceive the desirability of speedily elevating its tracks and of making the necessary financial arrangements preliminary to that improvement. — +. ___ The President objected to any unofficial notice being taken of the struggle in Cuba during the Atlanta exposition. He will doubtless be impressed by the fact that the actions of the Senate and House are official in the strictest sense of the word. —_~es___ Washington Is under renewed obligations to the warm friends of the national capital in the Senate who yesterday caused justice to be dene to the people of this community in the matter of creating a free public library. ———+ +s ___ Mr. Depew’s numerous admirers would like it understood that there are several Kinds of “favorite son” and that a man need not necessarily be a presidential can- didate to come witbin the specitications. — +e -__ Whichever way the war in Cuba may re- sult General Weyler has made the task of his official biograplers, who will of course be under the necessity of being com- plimentary, a very difficult one. Jerry Simpson is suspected of wishing that some means could be devised for taking Mrs. Lease’s belligerent rights away from her. ———»+42___.
