THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY..................-March 9, 1896. CROSBY S. NOYES. .Editor. THE EV and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- tion of the other Washington As a News @ Advertising Medium it has no competitor. ©Im order to avoid delays, om ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR show not be addressed to any individu: connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. The President and Congress. ‘The President's attitude in the matter of Cuba is, at least, in doubt. In declining to state it himself, he repudiates a statement that had been made for him. This testifies as well to the President's desire to blow his own trumpet as to the importance of the note to be sourded. When we hear from him, therefore, let us hope that the note may be loud and true. It cannot be dented that those who expect action or non-action in effect antagonistic to Congress in the premises find their au- thority in Mr. Cleveland’s whole career a3 an executive, beginning in the city hall at Buffalo and following to the White House. His whole experience as a public man has been as an executive. He has never been a member of any legislative assembly, but 2s carried himself always in office as if called upon to hold lawmakers in check—in plain words, te manage them. He tried his *prentice hand on a town council in Buffalo. He appifcd Fimself next, with a litule firmer hand, to the leg’slature of the state of New York, and, advanced from the office of gov- ernor to President, he brought from Alvany to Washington with him this spirit of a man desirous of moulding everything io his own will. His seven years in the White House—the seventh mile post has just been passed—show the longest striag of vetoes ‘on record, and extending all the way from the formal veto of a pension bill for an in- valid soldier, to what, in effect, was the veto of the desire of the pecple of this gov- ernment to extend their dominion to the Hawaiian islands. It is to be said to the credit of all the Congresses that have sat d jond’s lence in the WI they h ed him with the highest consid . It became, indeal, almost a reproach agairst one that it seemed co defer too much to his wishes and opinions. He Was accredited with having too potent a veice in its deliberations. That was a democratic Congress, and the explanation offered in justificatiop of its gititud> vas that as the and the executive were of t al faith, it was de- sirable that concessions—even great con- jons—be made to insure concert of view and acticn. But the present is a republican Congress—at least in one branch--and there sted by it toward the Presi- pect ef all matters of the high- importance all reasonable deference. him 4n the Venezuelan case With fine American Joyalty, and followed that up by proposing a low-rate bond for tenance of the national credit. was due to ve tr > point has been ri ed <-hen the of Congress must be consed=d, denied.

From this time forth there should be no compromise with those individuals or cor- porations who want to disfigure our streets with poles and overhead wires. Here in Washington tne esthetic phase of the ques- tion is of much greater importance than it is in any other American city, but with that laid entirely aside there is ample rea- son why electric wires should not be ex- posed. Taose who are financially interest@t in the maintenance of the pole system—and cheapness is the only argument they can advance—occasionally say something about the careful manner in which wires carry- ing heavy currents are strung and pro- tected. A sciap of testimony by the elec- trical inspector of the Hartford Board of Fire Underwriters is worthy of considera- tion and presentation. Says he: “No one happening has been more produc- tive of loss by fire due to electricity than the crossing of telephone, telegraph and similar wires with trolley and electric Nght wires. Heavy current flows, established by such cresses through telephone and other instruments, resu!t in damage to these de- vices and oftentimes communicate fire to surrounding combustible material. Out of the SI5 fires reported by the electrical bu- réau of the National Board of Underwrit- ers, 113 were due to crosses hetween tele- phone and signal wires and light and power These 113 fires represent a loss of —— ee “Am I My Brother's Keeper?” Every humane man and woman in the country Is in accord with Governor Hast- ings of Pennsylvania as to the duty of the United States in Armenia. Pennsylvania's chief executive is not the first American of prominence to insist that this nation should ecmpel Turkey to cease its brutal treatment of a comparatively-helpless people, but his speech at Lancaster yeste:day afternoon appeals strongly to the con- science. By the terms of tre: stipula- tions, Great Britain is the power that ought to intervene, but international complica- tions and party policies have been strong erough to hold the once uplifted arm, so the horrifying massacres have on without interruption until the surv Armenians have completely lost all thought of resistance. —_—_+ + + ____ ‘The Sultan is not the first man who got angry and “stopped his paper” only to dis- cover that business went ahead as usual. ——_~e+— A Small-Arms Museum. ‘This is an era of “wars and rumors of wars.” But a little while since there was almost universal peace and for twenty-five years the threatening clouds which over- heng all Europe refused to break. The great cloud fs still intact, but its integrity is threatened in several places and a down- peur may come at any moment. Jn view of our present relations with England and Spain it may easily be that we shall have to put up our starred and striped umbreila. Werat is the condition of that ordinarily useful article? Every intelligent American knows that we are, practically, without ecast defenses; that our navy is inferior to that of the second-rate European powers; that our army is not properly organized to serve as a base upon which to stand a great fighting force. But only a few out- side of military circles realize how weak we are in an extremely important es- sential. It has been said by bumptlous legislators, when posing as economists, that should there be a call to arms more than ten million men would rally around the colors, eager to meet the common enemy. ‘The estimate is an exaggerated one. Proper exemptions from service in the fleld would reduce it considerably; seven millions would be much nearer the mark. Supposing though that there was immediate demand for the mustering and equipment of an army of only one million men, how would that vast number be armed? The infantry and the artillery of the regular establish- ment have the .30 caliber magazine rifle; the cavalry has the .45 caliber Springfield carbine; the’ National Guard of some states have the .45 caliber Sprinfield rifle, New York state has the Remington .50 caliber, while in remote places other and antique varieties of weapon still do duty; the navy has a gun that differs from all the others mentioned or referred to. What a mixed- up condition of affairs would be evident as soon as mobilization was attempted and how soon would it be evident that our sup- ply of arms, ancient and modern, is not sufficient to supply more than half a mil- lion soldiers! It would be impossible for such an army to do even moderately effec- tive work; valor is but a small factor when the enemy has the best of small-arms handled by men who have been carefully trained while our troops were engaged in laughing at the mere suggestion of war. And thea what fearful sacrifices would re- sult from blunders certain to occur in the shipment of ammunition. As conditions row are It might easily be that on one firing line would be four kinds of small arms, revolvers rot included, and it would be unreasonable to imugine that errors would not be made by those whose duty it would be to keep the firing line supplied with cartridges. Such confusion of smail- arms would not be possible in any other civilized country on earth. Here it exists and flourishes, ard nobody seems to care very much whether it does or not. How skall we excuse our folly when the hour of ecnfilict arrives? ——_++-__ If Secretary Carlisle should succced to Mr. Cleveland's honors the country would certainiy be spared the usual complainis that the treasury suffers through the reck- less extravagance of the previous adminis- tration. —_—__+ e+____ Spain makes a very poor showing as a fighting nation when it explains that it has sent over all these soldiers and spent all that money in an unsuccessful attempt to subdue a few scattering outlaws. ———~+ +> ___ The Spanish students whose indiscretions led to the closing of the universities are now being accredited with a very astute method of securing an extra holiday sea- son. ——__--.__.
