8 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. bATURDAY......: ee tpeccee May 16, 1896. CROSBY S. NOYES. G STAR has a regal and permanent Family Circulation much more than three times as large as that of any other paper, morning er evening, published in Washing- ton. As a News and Advertising Medium it has noe competitor. c7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal abserce, letters to THE STAR should 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 STAR BY MAIL. Persons leaving the city for any period can have The Star mailed to them to any address in the United States or Canada, by ordering it at this office, in person or py letter, or rd. Terms: 13 cents per cents for two weeks, or 50 cents per month. Invariably in ad- vance. Subscribers changing their address from one Post-office to another should give the last address as well as the new one. Telephone Rates. Some of those who patronize the Chesa- peake and Potomac Teleyhore Company have become imbued with the mistaken idea that the corporation to which they al- ready pay overmuch for telephone rental is intent upon putting into oreration a sliding scale that will only slide upward. o far as any increase in the rates {3 con- cerned, telephone lessees may rest easy. If the proposed graduated system was compulsory it would undoubtedly be much more expensive to larze users than the present “flat” rates. But as announced from the very beginning, it is not compul- sory. It is merely the revival by the tele- phene company of an cld suggestion of means by which those who their tele- phones infrequently may, at their own op- tion, uce the cost to themselves. When the situation is understocd, there is not likely to be—in fact, there cannot reason- ably be—any objection to the supplemental system, for it is entirely optional. The company will continue to furnish unlimited service at the present rates, or, if the sub- seriber so elects, will carry so many mes- sages for a stated sum. The company’s effort is, of course, a part of its campaign to prevent reduction of the flat rates; no corporat entatives are pos- sessed of even a modicum of common sense would endeavor, under such conditions as here prevail in the yhone business, to make eve to increase prices, zblic will not, fled with the alternative on whose repre tem as an effec method of cheapening rates. Its usefulness in this direction will be very hmited. What is needed is a direct reduction of the pres- bE is demanded ional men of mer or later the company 1 have to comply with the demand. Up to this time, effort has mainly been con- to bring about lower rates for by the company h now has a monopoly—sound argu- nt showing conclusively that a monop- oly is almost an essentiai to the ideal tele- phone system—but the local company seems determined to make no cencessions and to drive the telephone-using public into the yort of some competing company. the service furnished wh: nm ——__ + + + Poles and Wires in the City. Looked at from any standpoint, the amendment offered to the District appro- priation bill, now pending in the Senate, giving authority to the District Commis- sioners to grant permits for the erection of poles “outside of the city limits” for the stringing of telegraph wires, “and for other purposes,” and providing, further, that all permits heretofore granted for this pur- pose In the same section shall be ratified, is mischievous In the extreme. The city limits, according to the law, are marked by Florida avenue, formerly Boundary eet. veryone knows that Florida ave- nue is not a true boundary street in the sense of marking the extent of Washing- ton. There are many square miles ontside of these so-called city limits that .are al- most as thickly populated as is much of the area inside, and the fact that these sec- tions are included within the fire limits shows that they deserve recognition by the n:unicipal authorities as practically part of the city. If telephone companies or elec- tric light companies or telegraph com- panies desire to erect poles beyond the fire limits for the extension of their business, Congress might properly grant the Com- missioners authority for such sp2cifle pur- peses. But even such permits ougat to be issued with the proviso that they should be cinded when, in the opinion of the municipal authorities the growth of the neighborhoods occupied by them have be- ificient to make the poles ebstruc- and overhead wires dangerous. oe Give the People a Chance. Just why the District Commissioners ould consult with the street-railroad com- panies as to whether street-cars should be pped on the near side or the side of et crossings is one of those things not easily to be understood. It surely cannot be a matter of very much concern to the com- panies where thelr cars stop to take up or let off passengers—there ill be just as many fare-payers no matter what may be the rule as to places of stoppage—but the public is very much concerned. It is the public that provides the railroad companies with the material out of which cases are made for the coroner and the morgue and the Emergency Hospital; it is the conven- lence of the public and not of the corpora- tion being patronized which should receive premier consideration. The Star !s con- vinced that popular pref. e 18 over- whelmingly favorable to stopping the street cars on the near side of the crossings—such stoppage Is infinitely less dangerous to all manner of street traffic and Is just as con- venient to the passengers—and for that rea- son it has advocated and will continue to advocate the stoppage plan now in use, to which one railroad company, which has op- posed the rule from the beginning, takes present and renewed exception. —__~+-_ Some of the delegates who subscribe to Senator Quay’s boom would like to know who it is that they really favor for the presidential nomination. +. Bearing Fruit. It has been contended by those noble sculs who love every country but their own that the rebuke administered to Mr. Bayard by the House of Representatives carried ro weight at all; that it would silence nobody, that it should silence no- bedy. No American, it was proudly held, parted with his opinions, or temporarily with his tongue, upon accepting office un- der this government. The House, it was asserted, had simply made itself ridiculous. It ts true that Mr. Bayard was not si- lenced. He has not repeated his offensive views about the people whose pay he is in, but he has kept up bis speech-making, and even co-operatéd with Englishmen desirous of publicly manifesting their contempt for the American Congress. He has tried to wear the rebuke he received as if it were a decoration. But Mr. Bayard is not being copied by other officials in the diplomatic service of this government. One of these gentlemen, on the contrary, has just refused to follow his lead, and. in doing so confesses to a respect for the opinions of his countrymen as expressed through their Congress. And yet Minister Terrell could with some pro- priety have replied to the questions that were put to him. It was not a matter of volunteeting opinions or his own, or of im- proving an opportunity to attack anybody, but merely of answering attacks on himself as minister to Turkey. He decided, how- ever, to hold his peace, upon the ground that the people of the United States evi- dently did not desire that their diplomatic servants should enter into public discus- siors. Mr. Terrell fs on very safe ground. The pecple of the United States do not desire their diplomatic servants to travel outside of their legitimate functions. Diplomacy is a@ confidential sort of business. A man’s es for such work in the older countries when diplomacy is a profession are gauged by his capacity for silence and discretion. He is expected to be alert, to receive orders, to execute them, and to report home. That comprehends his whole duty. His work, when completed, must justify itself. He should never become a lecturer, or a prize spouter, or suffer himself to be made a drawing card at cattle shows or miscel- lareous public feeds. That is something very different from diplomacy, and calls for men of any other but the diplomatic stamp. Upon his return to Constantinople Mr. Terrell will profit by the fruits of his dis- creet bearing while at home. His reputa- tion for sagacity, has been advanced. Turkish officials will communicate with him with all the more freedom and confidence for observing that he attends to diplomatic business in a diplomatic way. If he could spare a few days in London on his way back to his post and gently but firmly put a flea into Mr. Bayard’s ear it might be well. ———~+ e+ —___ Moving Onward and Upward. Thos: peopie who have persistently and thoughtlessly insisted that a satisfactory flying-machine must always. be among the impossibilities Lave been remarkably silent since the authorized publications as to the latest experiments made by Prof. S. P. Langley of the Smithsonian Institution. Those publications have made plain the fact that aerial navigation is possible even when the ship 1s many times heavier than the atmosphere which it displaces. It now seems unquestionable that Prof. Langley has discovered the principles by which speedy and easily controlled movement may be made by man in that territory which has heretofore belonged only to the birds and to a few aeronauts who for nearly two hundred years have been experimenting with balloons without accomplishing very much. There is really no reason why any ore sMould be astonished at the successful experiments conducted by Prof. Langley. Tonight at the electrical exhibition in New Yerk, a message of two hundred and fifty words will be sent completely around the globe over 28,60) miles of wire; the two ends of the wire being in the hall where the ex- hibition is held. In view of the fact that such a wonderful feat can be accomplished in a remarkably brizf space of time—the message and a reply to it will make the deuble circuit in less than two hours— there is little room for astoniShment in an anouncoment that within a few years air- travel is likely to be a popular method of transportation. Telephonic conversation between Washirgton and New York is a common hourly occurrence and no one who is abreast of the times scems to think it In any way remarkable. Accustomed to these marvels, the public may not easily be disturbed by the announcement of inven- ions which until recently were regarded as. impossible. The nineteenth century has witnessed the accomplishment of many wonderful feats, has seen the world’s men- tal caliber expand wonderfully. Before the twentieth century shall have run one-fourth of its race the giants of ingenuity will have wrought such revolutions as are no more than dreamed of even at this day. mnon’s Big Map. There is direct and real local interest in Senator Cannon’s proposition to establish in the immediate vicinity of the national capital a great ground-map of the United States. When the proposition was first made it was not thoroughly understood and as a consequence there was no display of public enthusiasm. Now, however, the idea seems to be fully comprehended and it has a large number of thoroughly earn- est supporters who can see how much of educational value will be found in the map when it is completed and has become one of the permanent features of the seat of government. Elsewhere in today’s Star thera appears an article in which the na- ture of the plan is fully explained. A suit- able site for this gigantic map is easily within reach. ‘fhe upper portion of the reclaimed Potomac flats will have to be improved at some time in the near future; it Is a reasonable proposition, and one which should appeal to the economists of Congress as well as to those who view the matter from a more sentimental -stand- point, to accomplish this improvement by locating the country’s miniature there. A more attractive or interesting improve- ment than this could not easily be devised; there is something well-nigh irresistible in the union of novelty, patriotism and busi- ness enterprise thus made possible. Tho many and weighty reasons for the con- struction of such a map are well set forth in other columns by the author of the pro- ject. The Senate has aiready given its unanimous and ready approval of the idea of creating a commission empowered to at- tend to the preliminaries. It is not at all likely that the House of Representatives will be averse to the Cannon propostion. ——~+++___ ve Are Governed Too Much. The officers of the Illinois Humane So- ciety have succeeded In having a law pass- ed prohibiting bicyclists from carrying children on their wheels under pain of fine and other punishment. The ground upon which these mistaken enthuslasts— who have done well along other lines— based their action was not so much the danger to which a child might be exposed because of collision or other accident but because the rapid movement of the bicycle affected the tender juvenile brain in an injurious way. The next step will, in all probability, be to secure the adoption of a sister measure providing that children shall not be allowed to ride in baby carriages because the jolting of the vehicles will in- juriously affect their respiratory organs. Somebody will soon be moved to suggest that sensible Americans organize an anti- meddlesome legislation association for the purpose of enabling the people to exercise their individual judgment in respect to one or two things concerning which their discretion has not already been limited by law. f ——+ e+ —__ It would be a kindness to the statu@men who desire to make the tariff a campaign issue for Professor Langley to delay per- fecting hfs flying machine until after the election. The obvious difficulty of collect- ing duties from a lot of boundary-defying aerial freight-schooners might have a ten- dency to further complicate the question. —__-+ ee —___ Warner Miller is disposed to intimata that he “discovered” Mr. Morton as a pres- idential quantity. Possibly it would be a feat of more consequence if Mr. Miller would arrange to discover the estimable governor of New York after the St. Louis convention has been held. ——_+ + -__ British justice will hardly be as inex- erable in the case of Dr. Jameson as it is in the case of Mrs. Muybrick, * THE WEEK. The last of the republican state conven- tions were held this week; Missourl, North Carolina, Wyoming and West Virginia in- structed their delegates-at-large for Major McKinley; Delaware refused to instruct, and Colorado directed its delegates to follow the lead of Senator Teller, whose course was indorsed; Senator Wolcott avoided a contest over his name by withdrawing from the election for delegate. The fight in the Senate over a deep-water harbor on the southern coast of California was closed by referring the determination as between Santa Monica and San Pedro to a commis- sion to consist of three civil engineers, a naval officer and an officer of the coast sur- vey. The river and harbor appropriation bill was passed by the Senate, and appro- priates $12,200,000, By a vote of 31 to 30 the Senate “determined that Henry A. Du Pont was not entitled to a seat in the Sen- ate from the state of Delaware. The tug- boat Harry Brown blew up, twenty-five miles below Vicksburg, Miss.; eleven lives were lost. Ex-Congressman John C. Tars- hey of Missourl was nominated for asso- clate justice of the supreme court of Okla- homa. Ex-Police Capt. Michael Shannon of Buffalo, found guilty of the murder of Police Sergt. Timothy Cantlin, was sen- tenced to imprisonment for life in Auburn prison. Forest fires raged over Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesot: Pennsylvania, New Jersey and New York, causing immense damage. Gov. Morton signed the greater New York bill. The general M.

Weyler of Cuba issued a pro- clamation requiring farmers to turn over all their corn to the government officers, who at the various military centers will buy It at the market price. Gen. A. D. McCook, who will represent President Cleveland at the czar's coronation, arrived in Moscow, accompanied by his family. Mustapha Bey was appointed Turkish min-‘ ister at Washington. Home Secretary Rid- ley stated in the British house of com- mons that after a consideration of the Maybrick case he was convinced that the right cou to parsue was not to appoint a commission of inquiry as had been re- quested. The German reichstag by a vote of 159 to 110 fixed the export bounty on sugar at 24 marks per hundred kilos; the government proposal was 4 marks per hun- dred kilos.
