eS Neat THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, MAY 5, 1896-FOURTEEN PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY..............-...-May 5, 1896. cROSBY a THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. » tlm order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected wit! he office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ment, according to tenor or purpose. = Something Supplemental. It is true, as stated by Congressman Woodman of Illinois in a resolution intro- duced in the House yesterday, that the situation in Cuba “Is becoming a stench In the nostrils of Christendom; the murders, the outrages, the barbarities and horrors perpetrated by the Spanish are so notorious that civilization itself stands appalled.” It is likewise true, as stated in the same resolution, that “the executive department of the government has not seen fit to act on the almost universal recommendation of the people as expressed by both branches of Co: ‘cither proposition is, or can be, ; and, taking cognizance of both, Mr. Woodman asks the House by res- olution of its own to call the matter to the attention of the President, and request him by proclamation to reccgnize the existence of war in Cuba, with all that that implies. Mr. Woodman’s impatience 1s praise- and is shared by many of his col- leagues in the House. ‘There is a general feeling, Indeed, that the President by his course i:, not only thwarting the wishes of the people of the United States, but making their government practically an ally of Spain in the revolting savagery of the Cuban campaign. That something ought to be done to divorce this government from Spain in the prosecution of this hideous business, and enroll it on the side of freedom and humanity, is plain. The Star has repeat- s, and urges it again. It will plorable neglect of duty if Congress adjourns without in some way making an- other effort to secure for the people of Cuba such recognition of their just claims to American sympathy as well-established American sentiment clearly shows they de- serve. The passage of Mr. Woodman's resolution might not answer this purpose. For one thing, it contains a criticism of the Pres!- dent, and he is slow to forgive that. He is a jealous diplomat, and will have no other diplomats but him. If he moves, as In the case of Venezuela, Congress Is expected to move. But if Congress takes the initiative, as in the cases of Armenia and Cuba, he resents it by inaction. Still, as the situation Is difficult, and the President should be put on record, the resolution of the Illinois member has merit. It would at least accomplish the purpose of formally ing the President's attention to the wishes of the people. The concur- rent resolutions of Congress, it is claimed, have no existence so far as his official knowledge is concerned. They were not certified to him, and otherwise he need not note Congressional action. It may be bet- ter to nudge him with some more definite legislative proceeding. — +02 —__ Mexican Law vs. Canadian Law. Canada might take a lesson from Mexico In regard to the best way In which to treat defaulters from the United States who seek refuge within its confines. Some time ago C ter W. Roe, treasurer of Powe- shiek county, Iowa, stole all the money there was in the public coffers, and made his way to Mextco, where he bought some real estate and declared his intention of becoming a citizen of the country. Owing to this supposedly shrewd action on Mr. Roe's the government of the United States could not secure his extradition to an- swer for his s the Mexican govern- ment is not permitted by the laws of that country to permit the extradition of one of its own izens. The representation hav- ing been made that this system would be a standing invitation for future malefactors to maké Mexico their place of refuxe the Mexican government met the emergency by arresting Mr. Roe on a charge of bringing stolen property Into the in speedily followed and Roe was fined $2000, which was all that remained of the funds he had stolen and also sentenced to twelve years’ nment. This sort of thing beats ex- on all hollow, and it is respectfully ded Canada for emample and emulation. —__+++___ The Hub Will Be Here.

Every few days there is announcement to the effect that the Belt Street Railway Company is endeavoring to obtain from Congress permission to make certain extea- sions and to abandon tracks the possession of whicn Is no longer deemed desirable by the corporation. Perhaps Congress or the company in question can tell the public why the Belt Company does not also re- quest # change of name. There was a time when the road was truly a belt road, and when, as such, it was liberally patrenized, es) ally in summer time. For some rea- gon the new management cut the belt, and by an annoying system of transfers drove away many good customers. If the com- pany’s plans, now before Congress, are ap- proved, there will be no semblance of a belt. Why not give the company a name that will fit it—a title that will accord with its vagaries and its general Present use- lessness? ——_+ «+ A horrible crime was committed near this city In broad daylight yesterday. It lacks the mysterious element which seems to have baffled police endeavor in the murder of Wesley Hall. If our police force has in it that detective ability which it should have the murderer of Elsie Kreglo will speedily be arrested. This apparently easy case may fairly be used as a test of local detective ability. ——__+++__ Amateur Sport in Washington. Now that the season for outdoor athletic sperts has fairly opened it is hoped that Washington will take conspicuous place in many varieties of physical endeavor. With @ much larger number of bicycle riders than can be found in any other city twice as large as this there ought to be developed @ few experts capable of extraordinary speed or possessed of remarkable powers of endurance. There was a time when boat-crews from the National Capital in- spired wholesome respect whenever they appeared at regattas; there is no reason why they should not do so again, for it is not probable that Washington muscle and grit has deteriorated to any considerable extent within such a brief period. It is undoubtedly true, though, that there has been deterioration, and its cause was the gradual growth of the social features which were deemed desirable by the various organizations; it sapped the competitive spirit and made svch blood-stirring contests as were once the rule events of rare oc- currence. Baseball is doing fairly well, and if the professional team which represents Washington in the National League keeps up its end it is likely to do very much bet- ter than ft has ever done in seesons past. Tennis has dropped off considerably, yet rot surprisingly, for the girl who once adored tennis is now devoted to her bicycle. Cricket is endeavoring to establish itself and bids fair to meet with solid encourage- ment from a not inconsiderable minority. In field and track sports Washington ought certainly to achieve its share of distinction; the opportunities for training are ample and there is always public readiness to applaud the victorious. Reputation as an artistic, terary, educational and political center is within the capital's possession, but there is no good reason why Washing- ten may not also become known as a pro- ducer of amateur athletes; it has plenty of first-class raw material. —___ + « > ——___ _ Those who are immediately in charge of the Lew city post-office building aver that one hvrdred and fifty men—only one hun- died and fifty—were employed upon the structure today. Effort to complete the reof—the fireproof, slow-burning, highly- ecmbustible roof—was not slackened. ——_+ + +____ Possibly one or two of the government clerks who are behindhand in their debts have been misled by the example of poll- ticians who forget their ante-election prom- ises. —__o+<-—_ The conspicuous position which Mr. Till- man gives to “bust” in his list of verbs shows that he is also in favor of the free aud unlimited coinage of words. ——_+ e+ ___ Mr. Carlisle's remarks have the adyan- tage of being adjustable to whichever boom may come uppermost, his own or Mr. Cleveland's. eS Weyler’s conspicuous failure ought to entitle General Campos to the luxury of a few remarks at the present time.

Measurements. ve seen the machine workers,” sald Senator Sorghum's emissary. “How do they feel?” “Their enthusiasm is beyond measure.” “No it isn't. There is always one way of measuring their enthusiasm.” “How?” “By the barrel.” A Drawback. These songs of May would touch the ear With sentiment more true, if with their coming every year. Our taxes were not due. The Rub. “It is an outrage!” the Spanish general exclaimed. “What has happened?” “That war correspondent insists on pub- Ushing untruths of his own compcsition!”* A Humane Thought. ‘The thrifty woman passed through the room with an overcoat over one arm and a sult of her husband's winter clothes over the other. “I suppose,” he said, “that you are think- ing of putting moth balls into them so as to Keep them through the Summer.” “Of course.” “I don't see how you can conscientiously do it. “Why not?” “If it makes the moths suffer apything like as much as I will when I have to wear those clothes next fall, it's clearly @ case for the S. P. C. A.” A Grievance. She was not a woman who: indulged in circumlocution. She strode up to the desk, and introduced herself and her business with the simple remark: “I write poetry.” “Do you?” said the managing editor. “Yes. And I want you to expose these magazines, and show why thelr circulation doesn’t increase.” “Do you think they fall to print suffi- client poetry?” “They print enough, but it isn’t of the right kind, Iam a business woman. I have conducted a store and made a success of It. And yet they won't print my poetry. I have established myself as a person of con- Sequence in the community, and yet they return my poems, sometimes with thanks and sometimes without.” “Well, you know, it was some time be- fore Lord Byron and even William Shake- speare were recognized.” “Yes. There is just the point. I’ve heard things about both those persons that prove clearly to my mind that they weren’t even respectable. No wonder they had trouble about getting their pleces in. And these magazines have a chance to publish poetry written by a reputable and responsible per- son, and they won't do it. It's an imposi- tion on the reading public; that's what it 1s.”" A May Mood. Ef I should lose mer laziness, I sho'ly hates ter think Ob de comfort an’ tnj'yment dat I'd miss, Dah ain’ so many years In dis life ob joy and tears ‘An’ we may as well jes’ make de mos’ ob dis.

Ef I should lose mer laziness, de sun would shine in vain On de ole po’ch what de honeysuckles climb, An’ de gret big rockin’ cha'h Would be standin’ idle dah, While I squandered recklessly mer loafin’- time.

From the New York Tribune. “Scorching” on bicycles ts a pestilent nul- sance and should be sternly suppressed. So many men, women and children are using wheels in these days that all boulevards, venues, roads and paths available for Ficycles are uncomfortably crowded during certain hours. ‘“Scorchers’’ cause much alarm and do much damage, and they should be punished severely. Our magis- trates are far too lentent with these reck- less fools. The full rigor of the law should be applied relentlessly. “Scorching” must be stopped.
