Editor. ‘THE EVENING STAR has a regular d@ permanent Family Circulation ach more than the combined cir- eulation of the other Washingto dailies. As a News and Advertisin; Medium it has no competitor. c7Inm order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR shoald not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Washingtonians as Taxpayers. ‘The effort to violate the law of 187% and to saddie Lpon the local taxpayers alone the mu pal expense of a free library is de- fended upon the ground that the Washing- tonian is favored as a taxpayer at the ex- pense of ali other Americans. It was -Eown recently in The Star from the census returns that Washington's per pita tax levy exceeded that in the vast ity of American municipalities and ly up to the average in other cities approximating it in size, while its per jebtedress was greater than that of every large American city with the sin- gle ex of Jersey City. So muci: for local, a The also contributes its fair share toward the national taxes. In the matter of receipts from crstoms duties, if the foreigne: s the tax, no American is burdened. If any significance can reasona- bly be 2 “1 to the places of collecting the its port of rns in its contribution to the national taxes. If the consumers pay the tax Washingtonians do their share of con- sumption, and as an urben Atlantic coast population consume more per capita of the shly dutable artict than residents of interior agricaitural sections of the re- t the only ni: rectly amow rnal comm: jonal taxes that fall di- unmistakably ard in ascertain- ts upon Amerfcans are the in- nue taxes.

But we have been e Spanish officials that there is What's th bie that banditti, some of its superfluous archives eration of Spanish official recogni- tion that it is a government, equipped with ves ard the other characteristics and paraphernalia of an organized, civilized government. Spain has already recognized by her acts ence of war in Cuba. Her soldiers tantiate the evidence of The Star's the now sul correspondent that there exists on the is- land an organized, hostile government, with chive: and all the rest. With Spain her- self thus unintentionally recognizing the Cubans as belligerents under the strictest requirements of international law, why should this republic hesitate to follow fermally Spain's example? No one imagines that President Cleveland will take any notice of the Bayard censure resolutions. The President has ignored popular sentiment as to Hawaii, Armenia and Cub: pigeorholed the Armenian resolutions ard is ready to do the same thing when the Cuban resolutions are sent to him. Why should he care what the Hovse of Representatives or anybody else thin is friend Bayard? i Only one hundred and ten men were em- ployed today on the city post-office building. ——_ +e An Optimistic Diplomat. Spain's representative in the United States is much too optimistic; he takes too mete things for granted and is overready to jm} at conclusions. Evidence of this Is fourd in his cablegram to the Spanish authorities at Havana, in which he declared it to be the general opinion here that efforts to bring about recognition of Cuban belligerency will be fruitless, and that the matter is now re- garded as virtually at an end. The founda- tion upon which Senor De Lome bases hia remarkable fabric is the failure of the House and Senate to at once agree upon the word- ing of the concurrent resotutio Cuban rights. There undoubtediy differences of opinion as tv the x which American sympathy for the insur- n the comb'ned contribu- the | r the resi- nt government, and no archives— noth'ng but a disorganized negro rabble of Cuban government can well afford to gents should be stated, and two or three public men, fer reasons not quite intelligible, are averse to any expression on that sub- | Ject, but none of these things deceive Senor De Lome; he knows that the comparatively inconsequential Congressional opposition must soon collapse under the tremendous and increasing weight of popular sentiment. A small handful of skilled parliamentarians may cause delay, but they and their anti- Tepublican doctrines in this matter will surely be overruled. Senor De Lome errs egregiously if he imagines that the influ- ences with which he is on remarkably inti- mate terms are powerful enough to longer ; afford the Spanish cause the aid and com- fort of which It is so desperately in need. He probably put some faith in the power of those whose sugar and other commercial in- terests are being disturbed by the rebellion. But he must now be aware how Ettle these selfish interests represent the national feel- ing upon the Cuban question. ——___+ 2 = A Plea for the “Bleacher: It is understced that the management of the Washington Baseball Club proposes to rebuild the right-field seats which custom has decided shall be knowr as “bleachers The Star suggests—it has done so before- that Mr. Wagner achieve great popularity by running a few substantial seantling into the air alongside the so-called bleachers ard stretching above the seats a canvas roof which would be sufficient to temper the heat cf the sun's rays and to shut out a considerable proportion of the moisture which has been known to fall even while a game was in progress. Many of the na- tional game’s mcsi enthusiastic supporters are to be found en the bleachers; their en- thustasm and thelr numbers shouid inspire respect in the breast of any one who wants te do business with them. A makeshift ciuvas roof over the bleachers would rot in the course of a-season rob the box ofiice of a doli.r; on the contra it would at- tract many persons who cannot afford grand-stard prices, but who stay away be- cause the cheaper seats are shelterless and ctherwise uncomfortable. A little catering to the bleachers would pay, financially and otherwise. — 22 | No Discrimination. Representatives who wish to smash the law of IS7S ought to proceed directly that statute ard not violate the principle of the law, wiile the latter re- ins on the statute books, by attaching tu the free library bill a provision which virtually kills it. The public library ought to be establivred ay a maunicipal charge under the laws which now exist. If the general rule concerning local municipal ex- penses is hereafter changed the free library appropriation will share the same fate as the ot While tne act of IN7S remains unaltered do not discriminate against a project which especially benefits the work= ingmen and the school chiltven of the com- munity, and which is urged especially in their behalf. soe King Menelek insists that bis indemnity shall be paid in gold.

A month or so ago, when the canvass for @elegates to the St. Louis coavention was being made, the old question of suffrugé was asitated, and many citizens, including those old friends, “Vox Populi," “Con stant Reader” and “One Who ‘Knoy: consumed much space in the papers in the effort to show that with a revival of ya th: Dis- suffrage the eonditicn of affat trict ould be improved greatly. ion, it is proper to say, {s not by a large proportion of the Many of the regroes, and, of cou horde of petty politicians, would see the return of the franchise tunities to advance their selfish interests would then abound. During the co: for District delegates, ihe scenes at the entertained population. many meetings were indicative of the con- ditions which would prevail if suffrage were restored. The very iowest straia of soci- ety, white and colored, was represented at thes2 meetings. .\ meeting which did rot cutminate in a fight was so rare that pecial mention was made of it.

T:mamany would be ashamed of it, but the District Commissioners and the Congress appear to th it is good enough for the nation’s show town. Other municipal customs are on a par with the street cleaning. There is [ttle argument tor the restoration of suffrage in the Dis- trict and the turning over of municipal af- fairs to the District government which would be organized in connection with it. Washington is fast becoming the resort of the rich and the cultured, and the form of soverrment is one of the chief reasons for this condition. Grass Linen.
