‘THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, APRIL 6, 1896-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THE EVENING STAR has a regular a@‘permancnt Famity Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailiés. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. o7Im order t 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. = ‘The Carlisle Letter. The letter of Mr. Carlisle to Chairman Long of the Kentucky democratic commit- tee is in a measure a disappointment to some of the Secretary's closest friends. Not that they consider that it takes him out of the contest for the Chicago nomina- tion, for they hold that it does not, nor that it will influence them to forego activ- ity in his behalf, for it will not, but they desired, and felt that they had reason to expect, something more direct and down- right on the subject. The first response to the letter from sound money circles in Mr. Carlisle’s own state is from the leading democratic newspaper of the commonwealth, and this ts to the effect that Kentucky will present the Secretary’s name to the Chicago convention, and ex- pressing the opinion that he will abide by that action. No sound money Kentucky democrat in Washington doubts that, and so the Carlisle boom will keep the field. The difficulty will be in satisfying senti- ment at a distance, and most especially in replying to accusations and predictions about a third term. A good many people are of opinion that Mr. Cleveland wants another term, and that matters in the end Will be adjusted to the accomplishment of 2 fourth nomination at Chicago. How such people are likely to be affected by this declaration of Mr. Carlisle to enter the Usts is a problem. The fear is that many of them will read in the Sccretary’s letter confirmation of their belief. His solicitude that the platform shall be constructed to indorse the administration's attitude both ~as to the currency and taxation, without regard to his own personal fortunes, may, it is suggested, convey to the average man at a distance the idea that in administra- tion circles the man to profit by this has already been chosen. : ‘The free silver democrats are naturally very much pleased with the letter. It argues to them that, at bottom, the ad- ministration is not so certain of itself ex- cept under the aegis of the name of its chief. It is expecting its policy to be in- dorsed, not as a policy considered by itself, but along with the prestige of Mr. Cleve- land's name. The free coinage men do not believe a fourth nomination obtainable, and they expect to see defeated with that the proposition for an unequivocal indorse- ment of the administration's policy. The republicans express no surprise at the letter. Some of them regret it. They would be glad to see Mr. Carlisle make the race aggressively and carry off the nomina- tion. A campaign which they could de- sone of protection and bimetailism versus free trade and gold monometallism would suit them precisely. ——_+ ++ Will Not the House Recede? A mber of the Representatives who do not look with favor upon the half-and-half arrangement of the District's organic act of 1S7S now appreciate the unfairness of smgling out an educational and working- man’s appropriation like that for a local free library as a medium for the expression of this prejudice, while all other municipa! expenses continue to be met in accordance with existing law. All that the free li- brary bill asks is that the cost of mainten- ence shall be treated as an ordinary mu- expense, for which estimates shall ted in the ordinary way by the ioners. If, in the wisdom of Con- » any change is hereafter made in the provision for meeting these municipal ex- penses, the free library provision will be affected along with the others; it should not row be isolated and discriminated against to the special and peculiar injury of the school children and the local workingmen. To grant a pul brary on condition that @ precedent be created which, in its logical results, Id overthrow the act of 187s and the District's whole financial system is to deny = a hbrary. The House amend- of the Library bill proclaims hostility ublic education and to the working- man, and not merely prejudice against the District, since it kills outright the library project. It is not believed that the House, when put to the test, will insist upon this amendment. —_+e+—___ George Washington a Jingo. “The United States ought not to indulge @ persuasion that, contrary to the order oi Sumar events, they wili forever keep at i © those painful appeals to arms with whicit the history of every nation abotnds. There is < rank due to the United Stetes among nations, which will be with- held, if not absolutely lost, uy the reputa- tion of weakness. If we desire to avoid insult, we must be able to repel it; iz we desi to secure peace—one of the most powerful instruments of our prosperity—it must be known that we are, at all times, ready for war.” i The self-convicted jingo who uttered these words was our peace-loving first President, George Washington. In his time, too, mercenary commercial interests, most in evidence in New York city, ham- pered and opposed the natioral patriotic tendencies. Tories in the revolutionary War, copperheads in the civil war, and the nation’s worst enemies at its own fireside today are those men of strictly business principles with whom a few dirty dollars outweigh love ot country and patriotic American pride. —__-++____ Will Be Heartily Approved. A mechanics’ institute, such as is pro- posed by some of those who have labored in behalf of the workingman’s library and reading room, would be an excellent thing. If built on broad and enduring foundations and managed as such an important con- cern should be it could not be otherwise than valuable to the toiling multitude and creditable to the National Capital. In other cities successful efforts along that same line have resulted from individual benevo- Tence; here it Is proposed to give everyone a chance te contribute. The plans are not yet fully formed, but their outline is at- tractive. ——s+ee___ ‘The season for egg-rolling having passe: the politicians beg that the public Se kindly give its undivided attention to the log-rolling once more. ————~++s___ Only forty men were at work today on the city post office building—the “fireproof” structure which is being crowned with a ‘wooden roof. > +> ___ Another Huntingten in the Field. Nothing seems to delight the pro-Spanish ‘New York Herald than an interview with some one who thinks Spain is right and the United States wrong on the Cuban question. leads and commendatory edi- terials are the ordinary concomitants. The latest victim is Archer M. Huntington, son of C. P. Huntington, who is now in Madrid. Just how or when Mr. Archer M. Hunting- tcn came to be an authority on international affairs does not appear, but to the Herald’s energetic correspondent at the Spanish cap- ital Mr. Huntington declared it to be his positive belief that Spain is right, and that ber course as to Cuba is perfectly justifiable. It is, however, gratifying to note that Mr. Archer M. Huntington is with us to a cer- tain extent. “In case of war,” sald he, “my sympathies would be with my native land.” That is somewhat vague and probably means that Mr. Huntington would permit the United States and Spain to have it out, he remaining meanwhile at some point suffi- ciently remote to make it impossible to draft him into the American army or navy. Continuing h‘s interview, Mr. Huntington Froceeds to say: “Our interference in the Cuban rebellion is exactly parajlel with tke interference of England in our ctvil war. A Cuban republic is an impossibility. The best class of citizens are Spaniards, and th natives. could never govern theinselves.” Asked by the correspondent—who was prob- ably ignorant on that topic—‘What do you think would be the result of a war?” Mr. Huntington conceded that “the United States would win ultimately, but Spain would make a good fight,” and closing with, “I don’t think Americans have a right to discuss even the advisability of an- rexing Cuba at present.” Of course, it is encouraging to know that Mr. Archer M. Huntington believes us capable of “getting away” with Spain— Probably without any assistance from him —but what does Mr. Collis P. Huntington tlink of his inconsiderate offspring who jumps upon that congressional majority upon which C. P. H. depends for financial assistance just now? Will it be reasonable for the father to ask Congress to pass his funding bilt when the son is engaged in abusing that same Congress for its action as to Cuba? Incidentally, what are the Huntington interests in Cuba? ———__+-e#____ Mathematicians and statisticians ought to have a good time with the iatest instance of stricken conscience which has turned vp at the Treasury Department. The Ccpnecticut ex-suldier who sent thirty cents’ worth of postage stamps to pay for svgar pilfered by him during his service as guard over commissary stores during the war is a living sermon on strict honesty, even in small things, but he also affords food for speculative reflection. Thirty cents represents the principal and com- pounded interest on the price of a certain amount of lump sugar taken, say in 1863. Sugar was then worih about about 12 cents a pound. Problem: Find out how much sugar the unknewn soldier ate while doing guard duty over the ccmmissary’ stores. This is an excellent chance for the cdleu- lative mind, but the complications of the propositicn render it exceedingly doubtful if the urknown Cennecticut owner of the conscience really had a very clear idea of just how much sugar he did eat. —__—_+ + _ Mr. Carlisle’s announcement of his atti- tude in the presidential campaign does not differ greatly from corresponding docu- ments by other gentlemen. It is a more or less succinct reminder that if his party warts him it knows his address. —____« e+ ____ Senator Raines has been put to the an- noyance of studying the provisions of New York’s new excise law, in order to be able to say something now and then in its de- fense. ——_-+-___ Action by this government tending to bring the Cuban war to a close would hurt Spain's feelings, but it would probably save her a great deal of money. — 2 -__ The report that England is to come for- ward as Spain's ally justifies the suspicion that John Bull has his eye on Cuba, as well as Venezuela. —_+++___. The weather uncertainties attached to Easter Monday are becoming almost as impressive as those which distinguish in- auguration day. —_—_+e+—___ Eminent members of the democratic party seem disposed to vie with one an- otker in manifestations of presidential coy- ness. —_——__++-—___ If Mr. Cleveland looked as long at a duck as he does at a Cuban resolution he would lose some of his prestige as a sportsman. ————_~ ++ ___ King Menelek appears to be an advocate of the theory that the advancement of the colored race should begin at home. —___+« = _____ The Speaker of the House ciings to his previously expressed opinion that a quorum is a condition and not a theory. es Mr. Platt has gone to Florida, and left Mr. Morton to do all the walking the floor. <2 SHOOTING STARS. “I kein't hab much confidence,” sald Uncle Eben, “in de pious professions er a man dat won’ keep ‘is chickins f'um pas- turin’ in ‘is neighbor's flower gyahden.” Cold Days in April. Sitting close up to the heater is he, Expeetzntly holding his breath; And the heater Coes nothing but gurgle with glee As it watches him freezing to death. Modern Equipmen “What do you think is the strongest phase of my boom?” asked the candidate. And his candid friend unhesitatingly re- plied: “Its advertising department.” Told the Trath. “I siypose you ate eggs on Easter,” said the man whe always celebrates holidays. “Thousands of ‘em,” replied his jocular friend. “H’'m—er—I suppose you mean that fig- uratively?” “No. Literally. breakfast.” He Humbled Himself. “It’s humiliating,” said the man with the lcng hair and the far-away look. “Mighty humiliating. But I've done it before, and I suppose my pride can stand another jolt.” “What do you mean?” asked the police- man in whom he was confiding. You cee, I’m a poet. I write real poetry. I never stop this side of six pages, and my epics are so much like ‘Paradise Lost’ that a whole lot of people can’t tell the differ- ence. I cling to art for art's sake, I do.” “Well, what's your humiliation?” “I've got to go around to a fellow that scribbles doggeral and sells it and borrow another dollar.” I had shad roe for A Renewal of Friendship. Now smiles the twig with promise of the rose, And sunshine glints where April sheds a tear; Afar the murmur of the sweet bells flows, And wakes the winter-weary soul to cheer. Once more we greet the woodland music sweet, Z And golden blooms which open fast and faster; And with the old cordiality we meet The gentle cough drop and the mustard plaster. —_--2__ Giving the Binck Mam a Chance. From the Unior Signal. The Hamilton Club of Chicago has fol- sowed the suggestion made by Booker T. Washington at {ts last annual banquet and given “the black man a chance.” The club announces that it is proud to be the first social and political organization of national importance to admit a colored man as member, and further declares that it is prepared to take in as many more of the race as shall prove themselves as of the distinction as is Mr. Adel- Roberts.
