THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY. .March 6G, 1896. THE EMING 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 ha: \petitor. 7m order to aveld delay: count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR shoald not be addressed te any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the or Busine: le the Iron is Het! ‘The free library bill comes up for actian in the House next Monday. It has already unanimously passed the Senate. The Com- missieners, the school trustees, the board of trade, the federation of labor and nearly all of the citizens’ associations have en- listed in behalf of this measure, and now only two days remain for the last vigorous strokes of the campaign. Every Washing- tonian who Is interested in the proposed library—and who is not?—should do his ut= most, whether that is much or little, to make known to Representatives of his ac- quaintance the merits of this proposition. ‘There is no selfish personal interest to be subserved in the free library project; its sole purpere is promotion of the public wel- fare. It thus becomes everybody's business and, according to the saying, nobody's busi- ress. But Washingtonians should not neg- lect the matter on this account. The op- portunity is at hand to supply speedily one of the capital's most urgent municipal wants. Let every public-spirited resident seize this opportunity to do something prac- tleal for Washington, first by hastening the passage of the proposed legisiation, and then by contributing money and books. The new library has already pledged to it over $9,000, in the shape of a memorial fund of $5,000 from Mr. James T. Du Boils, sub- scriptions of $1,600 each from Col. A. T. Britton, Woodward & Lothrop and Mr. C. S. Noyes, and a number of smaller centri- butions, all of which the library committee of the hgard of trade has secured in pursu- ance of its announced plan, and which it expects, when once the library has been created, to very much enlarge. There are also pledges of considerable contributions of books, the largest of thes@ being over 3.000 volumes, which the Washington City Free Library, a private incorporatio: opened to the public for use as a cire ing library about two months ago. Wash- ington’s public library will make a credit- able though modest start. bs —_+ + +______ The Law Must Be Obeyed. Law-ahiding citizens cannoi possibly ex- cuse the law-defying erection of a pole on Fifteenth street by the management of the United States Electric Light Company. As to the merits of the company's case there is no present discussion; the point now to be ccrsidered ts the fully-established fact that illegaliy amd by stealth the agents of the corporation named have placed in po- sition on a public street an obstruction that should be removed at once. As to this there can be no argument nov can the authoritles afford to move in the direction of a comprom Wisely-framed statutes vest in the District Commissioners certain powers of approval and disapproval, and when the company made application for a permit for the erection of the pole in ques- tion the Commissioners refused the author- ity whick the law declares is necessary to the erection of such an obstruction. Con- temptuous of the law, and, in this particu- jar Instance, of the local sentiment in the matter of poles and overhead wires, the company’s agents last night succeeded in evading the gencrally-absent police—who, in view of a threat made by the company's president, should nave been especially vigt- lant—and put the pole securely where they said th would. The impropriety of that action is evident. It is a challenge to the Authorities and an offense to every law- respecting citizen. The situation demands Prompt action by the Commissioners. When & comparatively insignificant individual de- fies the law he is speedily compelled to tealize how erroneous his ways are; there should be similar treatment for law-break- ing corporations. ——_+ + _ Looking Out for Number One. “Patronize home industries” is a popular ery even in communities that sometimes vote for free trade. In Washington, where there Is no franchise, the home industry sentiment should be as strong as it is any- where else. There should be hearty local support for the proposition—frequently ad- vanced by The Star—that District printing be done in the District and not, as now, in Philadelphia. The most recent effort to inaugurate reform in this matter calls for the establishment of a District printing office in which the District's work will be done just as the general government's work is done in the big building at North Capitol and H streets. Without entering into any discussion of the merits of that plan as compared with the advantages of @ properly guarded contract system, The Star stands ready to do what it ean in be- half of any fair movement that will keep the printing in Washington. It is indisput- ably true that whatever of financial econo- my was promised by the Philadelphia bid has been more than offset by the delays, by the character of some of the work, and by a host of annoyins; inconveniences due to the non-residence of the contracting firm. —+ + It is announced that the governors of South Carolina, Georgia and Indiana, ac- companted by their staffs, will witness the Gocking of the battle ship Indiana at Port Royal, S. €., on the 12th stant. Why has the governor of North Carolina been sl'ghted? Are the authorities afraid he will say something to the governor of South Carolina, and thus revive the old feud? —_+--+_ If the District Commissioners will only compel the Anacostia company to cease eLerating bobtail cars in Washington they Will receive the hearty thanks of thou- sands of Washingtonians. The bobtall car is as much out of Place in this city as the wandering cow, the unfettered pig, or the unguarded goa would be. 2+ ____ The President must at least admit that the western politicians were not conspicu- ous in causing any embarrassments which may have arisen ia connection with the re- cent bond issue. —_+-++___ Mr. C. P. Huntington will please step for- ward and allow an examination of his harp end halo once more. ——__ + 0+ Yale Will Dare the Lion. Yale's courageous decision to send a frew to participate in the Henley regatta Faises the qiiestion as to how the collegians will be received Ly the British populace. During the past year or so there has been more than the ordinary amount of friction Eetween England end the United States, not only as to governmental affairs but in the realm of sport, and just now the English people are more inclined than ever to sneer at their American cousins. It may be, though, that before the Henley carnival takes place something will occur to change the tide of British opinion and to Justify the Yale authorities in running counter to the great quantitx of anti-Hen- ley advice which was freely proffered while the transatlantic trip was under considera- tion. It is to be expected that some Eng- Ishmen will say er write unpleasant and even untruthful things about the boys from New Haven and it may be that some mem-' ber or members of the crew will retort in kind but the chances are that the appear- ance of Yale at Henley will be regarded as an olive branch by. the thoughtful among the English people. That the boys in blue will be supremely-victorious is not expected. For nearly twenty years Yale has not raced with any talent other than that presented, mainly, by Harvard, so it can hardly claim to be fit to meet—as it will st Henley—some of the finest crews in the world. But Yale does expect to make a creditable showing and it does ex- pect to profit by its experience. The possi- bility of serious error looms up, though, in the announced .program of the crew. It is not enough to profit by your own ex- Perience; the experiences of other folks should teach something. The Yale Pprop- osition is to spend three weeks in train- ing on English waters, the theory being that in that short period of time the crew will become acclimated. Cornell tried that and testifies that its crew was in better shape one week after reaching England than at any time thereafter. Other crews and individuals have made the blunder Yale proposes to repeat and have always regretted their efforts to do in three or four weeks that which cannot be done in less than as many months. If the English “eights” can fairly get away with Yale there will be no complaint but Americans generally will growl if Yale permits itself to be defeated by dalliance with an ener- vating climate. —_—~++s____ The Administration and the Law. Perbaps the administration has some ex- cuse for the seizure of the schooner C. R. Mallory, off the Florida coast last Tuesday evening, but tne chances are that the ex- cuse will be lame enough to need crutches. The attitude of the executive branch as to this Cuban question is most surprising. In every rational way the people of the United States have made plain their sym- pathy for the Cubans who are struggling for freedom; both Houses of Congress have declaved themselves in language not to be misunderstood, yet the executive powers are undoubtedly employed in doing every- thing possible to assist Spain and discour- age Cuba, and are even straining the law to do so. In spite of the fact that clearly- worded statutes permit the shipment of arms and ammunition (when unaccom- panied by soldiers cr prospective fighters) from the United States to any country on the face of the globe federal force has in- tervened whenever and wherever interven- tion was possible to the detriment of the Cuban cause. Tne sehocner Mallory had on board a cargo of arms and ammunition which was probably in course of shipment to Cub® The only men aboard were the captain and a crew of five seamen. By what right did the Secretary of tle Treas- ury order the revenue cutter Morrill to seize and detain the Mallory? The Secre- tary knows what the law is and he knows how the courts have expressed themselves in their interpretatfons of that law. Why, then, was there interference with the Mallory’s voyage? = ————_+ e+__ If J. Pierpont Morgan manages the af- fairs of the Baltimore and Ohio road as astutely as he conducts the business of a bond syndicate there is every reason to hope that the road wil! very soon be in a position to elevate its tracks. ——_~+ e+ ____ It would be unfortunate for circum- stances to seemingly place this administra- tcr in the position of favoring a Hawaiian monarchy and turning the cold shoulder to Cuba when she ts struggling to become a republic. It is profoundly to be noped that no last- ing spirit of rivalry in the gentle art of making an exhibition of oneself is to spring up between the Spanish student and the American student. —+ e--—-__ In the essays which are always being ¥ritten on the progress of the colored race the 2chievements of King Menelek in mod- ern warfare cannot hereafter be ignored. +. —__ There are fears that the action of Con- ress on the Cuban question will only serve to remind the President that there is good duek hunting down at Quantico, —t +e, - ‘The Spanish disposition has not ‘changed s¢ very much since Cervantes satirized it by depicting Don Quixote as eager to fight everything in sight. —+ oe Only eighty-four men worked today on the city post-olfice building.

I may as well admit that I positively hate my fellow-man.”” “Well,” replied the sympathetic friend, “it's mighty unfortunate.

Oh, tell us of the pennant brave, And hagy with pride we'll glow To see it wave o’er those who played So long in goose-egg row.
