NOYES...............-Editor. @HE EVENING STAR has a regular amd permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- e@ulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium ft has no competitor. {7Im order to avoid delays, om ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed te any individual connected with the fice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business ments, according to tenor or purpose. eS eee The Only Proper Mediation. The administration preserves silence re- wpecting the report of mediatory offices ten- dered the Spanish government looking to Peace in Cuba. Some of its champions in- sist that nothing has been done, and that no such tender could with propriety be made. The reply to this is that what Presi- gent Gr4nt did in that direction would not be improper for President Cleveland. There fs war in Cuba now, as there was in 1869. ‘The disturbed state of the Island is as ob- Jectionable to the United States now as it was then. The bonds of humanity are a3 strong now as they were then, and the commercial #3 between the United States and the island are very much stronger now than ever before. Why should not the good offices of this government be extended for the purpose of bringing hostilities to a close? But that is not the question. The ques- tion is, to what end should the offices of this government be extended in the prem- ises? President Grant spoke for reforms in Cuba. He asked that the Spanish govern- ment relax somewhat the severity of its rule on the island. The people, he urged, should have a larger voice in thelr own af- fairs. The case was so strong in itself and so strongly put that the Spanish government conceded it. The ministry promised every- thing; but it performed nothing. If only a Fart of what was then promised to Cuba had been accorded to her the present war would probably never have broken out. But nothing was accorded to her. When the Cuban people laid down their arms in considerations of those promises they soon feund that their shackles were riveted tighter than ever, and that their late asser- tion of their rights was counting against them. In the light of this history, why negotiate further with Spain about reforms in Cuba? Spain has shown her hand in that matter. Her interest in the island has been demon- to be entirely selfish gnd com- Such reforms as Cuba needs and “demands now mean independence. Can Spain be induced to negotiate for that? If >not, let the fact be formally communicated to this government, and then we shall know precisely where we stand with regard to eur further duty. That Spain would renew the promises about reforms made some years ago is easily conceivable. To refuse to do so would put her in a bad light on her own side of the water even. She has confessed to the necessity of reforms, but lays the blame of non-performanc¢ ‘at ‘the door of Cuba. But Cuba would not accept her promises now, nor should the United States be willing to do so. Only Cuban independ- ence will bring the war to a Close and as- sure the reign of peace and justice on the island. —___+ «+ ____ Sidewalk Reform. The good work of putting down a proper edewalk pavement now going on in cer- tain parts of the city should be pushed for- ward without interruption or delay until ‘the footwalks on every princtpal street and avenue within the city limits are made passable—which many of them are not, and have not been for many years. It is of course important that those centrally lo- cated thoroughfares which are given up wholly or in part to business purposes should be provided with a smooth and safe footing for pedestrians; but it is no less im- portant that the leading arteries between the residence and business portions of the city should be similarly equipped. The time for brick pavements—uneven, uncomforta- ble and unsafe as they must always be— has long since gone by. They should never be laid nor allowed to remain in_any city of one hundred thousand people. Certainly they should no longer be tolerated in Wash- ington. Hitherto our authorities, legistative es well as executive, seem to have directed all their attention and energies to making ahe ways smooth and delightful for People fortunate enough to own carriages and bi- cycles, wholly ignoring the comfort and #afety of that much larger percentage of {our population that is obliged to use foot- walks in all conditions of weather and un- der all circumstances. It is high time the rights and interests of these should be consulted. Therefore, we say again, let the ‘good work go forward, without interruption ‘er delay! —_+-«+___ A Tribute of Respect. As a friend of good, clean government, Wheodore Roosevelt ought to feel compil- ;mented by the fact that the bomb found ‘im a New York letier-box yesterday was “addressed to him. The People who send bombs do not resent the acts of men in Yavor of corruption. Richard Croker was ®mever thus threatened. “ISoss’” Tweed was immune from attacks of this kind. _ Such Persons were secure from the anger and violence of the advocates of assassination, and their greatest menace in all the years of their enjoyment of their enormous pe privileges came from the law and ie peaceful but effective vengeance of ood citizens. Mr. Roosevelt has amply earned the remonstrance which yesterday took the form of a clumsy bomb. He has given New York a clean, honest, and, what is more, a thorough enforcement of law. ,He has antagonized the very classes who fake and send infernal machines to public- ‘spirited citizens and honest officials, and it is a tribute to his administration of the ‘police department of the metropolis that the has invited the explosive protest which poke failed in its murderous errand. —_\__-22___ Information for Mr. Aiken. , If the Supervising Architect of the Treas- “gry still retains any lingering idea that an flammable roof is the proper thing to put 9m top of the otherwise fireproof city post- ‘office building he will doubtless note with ore or le3s of mental disquiet the dissent- opinions of experts who are quoted else- Where in this issue of The Star. There is ‘absolute unanimity of utterance to the , @ffect that if the post-office structure is to fireproof the pine rcof must be removed. view of the action of the Senate and of ithe expressions of those who really know. ‘something about fireproof construction the Perverse and expensive conduct of the ar- “ehitect in continuing work on the objec- i fionable roof seems to be indefenstble. +| }John A. Cockerill. ———~+e—____ Journalism has lost one of its most con- : Bpicuous disciples through the death of Broadly-experienced, | capable and honest, Col. Cockerill was one | of the truly distinguished members of the “profession. He will be missed. ——_ ++ ____ Protect the Boarders. ‘With the incoming of the next fiscal year ; there will go into effect a revised code of | . @ellent provisions loo] { local building-regulations in which may be found many necessary and altogether ex- to the safety of individvals and the generat public. The regulations have not yet been formally, ap- ved by the District Commissioners, so chances are that several amendments Bill be made before the suggestions of the board of revision become law. paragraphs likely to suffer some change is that which has it that, without respect to height, all buildings used as tenement houses, boarding houses, colleges, semin- aries, academies, hospitals, asylums, halls and places of amusement shall be required to provide fire-escapes thereon. For the present it will be sufficient to deal with the boarding housés; incidentally remarking that the height of the building, its con- struction and the probable number of its inmates should be taken into account; a hard and fast rule applied to all boarding houses would work injustice and’ might be the cause of rational derision. That occt- pants of boarding houses need all the pro- tecting care likely to be afforded them by the general and municipal governments must be admitted by all conscientious readers of the humorous papers. Thous- ands of the unfortunates have complained loudly while millions have suffered in com- parative silence, yet up to the present time it Is not known that any one of the dis- contented ever petitioned for a fire-escape. The gnashing of teeth that have engaged in conflict with rubber-soled pies has fre- quently been heard; the wail of the man who hates prunes has smashed the calm of many a Sabbath; the revolt of him who had to eat hash or go hungry has been a feature of daily life. If, therefore, it is the honest desire of the authorities to add to the com- fort of those who dwell in boarding houses they should see to it that the cries of the real sufferers are no longer unheeded. There should be careful inspection of beef- steak and it might also be well to empower the police to settle the question as to how frequently or infrequently canned peachcs should be served. Supervision of the coffee- making operations would be highly com- mendable and the health officer could do nothing that would make him more popular than start a crusade which would prevent the substitution of oleomargarine for but- ter and, that being done, would see to it that the butter was of the best quality and devoid of capillary features. And while the good work of reform was proceeding the Commissioners might see if something could be done in behalf of those “roomers” who must perforce inhabit hall bedrooms and who are frequently called upon to risk their Precious lives by close association with folding beds. All these things having been accomplished the Commissioners then, sigh- ing for new worlds to conquer, might per- haps give serious consideration to the uni- versal fire-escape proposition. At this time though, that proposition appears to be a trifle premature. —_+ +s ____ Only one hundred and thirty men were at work on the city post-office building today. Many of them were wasting time and en- ergy on the construction of a roof which has been condemned by the Senate and which will, in all probability, be condemned by the House. Public sentiment and ex- perts in construction condemned it long ago. —_——_-+e—_____ The well intended celebration of the memory of Thomas Jefferson has had somewhat the effect of placing that re- vered patriot in the position of straddling the money question. —_-«= This Is the seascn for renovation gen- erally.

Corntossel, “ye was a sayin’ the other day thet Hiram didn’t seem ter have no bent fur anythin’ in pertickler.” “Yes.” “Well, ye can’t say it ne more.

You irsisted on wearing your new one, you know.” “Yes. But nobody who sat behind that girl got a chance to see it.” Material Utterly Wasted. “It is astonishin’,” said Col.
