THE EVENING STAR has a regular aad permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor.

This exhausts the list of equestrian statu- ary furnished by Mr. Mills to the National Capital. His supply of that article is open to criticism, and pretty severe criticism, but is nut open to the charge of being five legged. The Free Press has leave therefore to file an amended bill. ——_+ ++ ___ Let the Senate Try Again. The Senate doubtless feels deeply grate- ful to President Cleveland for the execu- tive transmission to Congresa of the cor- respondence which tells of the futiie at- ob tempt of the United States to mediate between Spain and Cuba twenty years ago, but the country generally will not be concerned. The popular demand at ite information as to fs being done by the ration in connection with the pres- z far, the testimony all executive branch of our government is enthusiastically engaged in affording monarchical Spain all possible assistance in its murderous work of throt- tling the Cubans who are struggling for republican independence. But there may be another and more humane phase of the situate far as Prestlent eland is conc dent is doing in secret which Cubans and Ameri him openly. Will not the Senate—which has” succeeded in finding out all about something that happened so Iong ago as to be ancient history—please try again, end endeavor to uncover the facts as to recent diplomatic happenings in which the United States and Cuba are concerned? ——__++-_ It is stated by the authorities at the new eity post-oflice butlding that orly one hun- dred and twenty-nine men are at work on the.structure today. Some of the force Wos tolling on the roof, as usual, although the chances are that the fire-tempting cover will have to be torn down. ——_+ ++ ___ If the New York ball-players are “Giants” Why may not the Washington team be termed giant-killers? ——_~+ +-+___ Why Was Lincoln Neglected? Perhaps the Emancipation Day cere- Montes were all that their promoters ex- Pected them to be. If that is so, then there n so Cte rned: it is possible that the pr something for ns will reward is room for regret. The parade may have been satisfactory in every respect—gorge- ous uniforms, loud-sounding bands, bril- Mantly-arrayed and dexterous drum-majors were probably present in sufficient foree— but not even the bravest display of march- ing talent can be regarded as the true end and aim of those who honestly desire to celebrate the anniversary of that memorable day when the negroes who were residents @ the District of Columbia were led “out @f the house of bondage.” Beautifully located in the eastern portion of the city ts a statue of Abraham Lincoln. It ls no common memorial. Thousands of gratcful men and women gave of the work of their hands in honor of him whose arm had snzpped their chains asunder, and the resulting funds were used to purchase the group which portrays in bronze the figure of Lincoln and the genuine gratitude of those whom he had lifted out of the miry clay of slavery. Mt has been one of the most appropriate commemorations of the day to have that statue decorated and to make it the central figure of an assemblage gathered together to hear once more the re- cltal of history of which the grateful I'sten- ers were nevcr weary. Thursday a number of the faithful journeyed to the old rendez- vous and awaited the opening of the pro- ceedings which custom had taught them might be expected. Some of the pilgrims came from Virginia, some wandered in from Maryland, some live in the city. Many of them had given their mite toward the statue fund, and all of them revered the memory of him who was yesterday neg- lected so far as the official program was concerned. There was not even a wreath at the foot of the pedestal. ‘The tendency toward forgetfulness of a large proportion of those who are, directly or indirectly, the beneficiaries of Lincoln's philanthropy Is to be deplored. ——__+ + > ____—_- Let the Committee Report. Friends of the doliar-gas proposition should not engage ip any controversy which is likely to keep the bill in the hands of the Senate District committee. It is gas-company tactics to delay considera- tion of the measure to such an extent as to render its passage impossible during the present session of Congress. To this end the Washington and Georgetown companies will vigorously strive, ard they probably expect to receive valuable assistance from Washingtonians who oppose them as to ges-prices, but who by discussing new, unmeritorious and dila-ory suggestions do isely what the gas-management de- -s them to do. Advocates of dollar-gas would be glad to have the Senate commit- tee report favorably on the House bill— a favorable report would have great weight in senatorial debate—but they should speal- ily realize that almost any sort of a re- port is better than no report at all; that promise in committee does not bind nate nor ts it much of a factor in nee proceedings.

It shoull therefore be the policy of those n> have done what they could for the Jollar rate to urge immaiate committee action and a prompt report to the Senate of whatever the majority of the committee favor. The campaign in the committee—ex- cept against delay in rep: s—is over; the result being, appareatly, a reduction of ten cents per thousand feet. When the com- mittee takes a final vote—which it should lo at its next meeting—the fight will then be transferred to the Senate and, if néces- sary, to the conference committee. 3 A Great Work Being D Washington und tedly ks many things mcre or less essential to its wel- fare, but the number of these decreases steadily. One of the desirable necessities not now in existence is a code of laws ap- plicable to the District of Columbia, but that defictency will before long cease to exist, thanks to the combined efforts of the Board of Trade, the District Bar Assocta- tion and Justice Cox of the District bench. ‘This practical movement toward codifica- tion originated with the Board of Trade, a public meeting being held under its aus- pices, at which able speeches describing the condition of the local statutes were made and a special committee to push the codification reovement to success was ap- pointed. The attention of the Bar Assocla- tion was then directed to the matter, and as a result of the harmorious energies of the two organizations Justice Cox was pre- vailed upon to apply himself to the respo: sible task of codifying the greatest jumble of legislative enactments that ever cor- fused the practice of law in any one com- munity on the face of the earth. The mag- nitude of che undertaking must be recog- nized and a cons‘derable period of time must elapse before Washington will see the fruit of Judge Cox's labors. Vast quant!- ties of material must be carefully scruti- nized and every possibility of error guarded aguinst, but in the results there will be Mberal recompense for the expenditure of energy. ——__< + =+__ Now that the elections are over in Spain and the nevessity for creating a popular impression somewhat subsided, some of the ardent gentlemen tn that country will doubtless see no reason why they should not put up their weapons and extinguish the red fire, —__+ «+ —___ Even should the approaching crisis in Cuban affairs turn out as Spain desires, it will mean no more than a postponement of the freedom which every country on the American centinent is coming to regard more and more as right and necessary. -——7ro___— Governor Bradley would be justified in the suspicion that he has been induced to devote a large amount of energy to the attainment of a small quantity of giory. > e = ____ Mr. Russell of Massachusetts has very Jous designs in the direction of smash- ing any campaign monopoly that Mr. Olney nay be contemplating. —__ e+ __ Mr. Hanna fs now considering whether it is advisable to lose any time by letting the first ballot pass for the purpose of compli- menting favorite sons. tee, Washington is now to have a season of racing in which the horses and the jockeys will rank in importance above the book- inakers ard the touts. ———~ += ____ There is an increasing sentiment to the effect that if X rays are less hot than the other kind the country cannot have too many of them. —_++____ It weuld be an exhibition of great heart- lessness if Mr. Platt declined to sooth Mr. Morton's feelings by predicting a McKin- ley defeat. ee | The logical candidate for the vice-presi- dency will take care not to manifest him- self until the time to “guess again” has fuliy arrived. —___ +++ __.

The past week has been cne of state con- ventions nd political gatherings; the Maine republicans indorsed Speaker Reed for the presidency, the Kentucky republi- cans Gov.

The resolution for an investigation of recent bond issues was taken up in the Senate, and Mr. Hill made a speech in opposition; he disclaimed that he had authority to speak for the ad- rainistration in opposing this investigation. Unusually warm weather for April was ex- perlencad In the eastern part of the United States; beyond the Rockies, however, the weather was cold, and California fruit suf- fered damage.

An Excusable Skepticiam, “This weather,” said the oldest inhab- itant, “reminds me of my boyhood day “But they say it is the hottest April ever known.” “Who says so?" “The weather officials.” “Well, mebbe ‘Us; mebbe ‘tis,"” he grum- bled. “But if they don’t show that they krow any more about the weather we used to have than they do about the weath- er we're going to have, I'm blest if I wouldn't rather depend on my own recol- lection.” A Sultry Grief.
