THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ]WEDNESDAY. a+s+++-May 20, 1896. “CROSBY S. NOYES...., eseeees Editor. THe EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than three times as large as that of any other paper, morning or evening, published in Washing- tom. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. C7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, 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, nee 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 oy letter, or postal card. ‘Terms: 13 cents per week; 25 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. ——— Stand by the Contract. Within a day or two there will be a meeting of the Horse and Senaze conferees on the free library bill and efforts will thereat be made to bring aboat en agree- ment between the two-bran-hes of the natiénal legislature cn a matter of con- siderable importance to the Dis:rict of Co- Iumbia. Both houses are avowedly of the opinion that Washington shoald have a free circulating library, but the apparent difference of opinion is as to how the in- stitution shall be sustzined. The Senate is unanimously satisied that the library would be a proper public charge, inasmuch as it must necessarily be supplemental to’ and a part of our educational system. The of Representatives, by a ver; all «its belief that the li- . in distinction from all other itutions and in violation of letter and spirit of the organic act of 78, to derive its sustenance wholly from is contributed by those individuals who axes in the District of Columbia. ‘That the people of Washington are earnest their petitions for a library is a fact red—they are weary of most of American towns s—but that their anxiety will lead them to the perpetration of such folly as agreement to the repudiating preposi- tion of the House amendment is one of most unlikely things within the broad ds of pos ity. Washington needs © circulating library of modern type—it ought to have had one ago—bat it will do without it rather consent to the bad precedent of an ction in its behalf of the just Uon- &ress-made compact which provides that the g government shall contribute one-half of the money required to pay the municipal expenses of the National Capi- tal. Upon that platform stand those M stonians who are respoi ble for the libra —who framed it and worked arduously to bring about its passage—and upon that platform they will continue to stand, even if their hopes are disappointed and there is never a municipally-sustained public B library in the Distr there is every reason to expect that the final decision of the conferees will be favorable to the creation of the public library on the wise, just and proper basis. Let the Senate stick to its position as to this brary bill; the House will probably The Senate has twice placed itself unanimously on record in support of its contention.

Americans are frequently bored to an wferable degree by pilgrims who insist that everything we do on this side of the Aulartic is done so very much better in Europe. We are accused of being slow and oid-fe ¥ respects, and are often to exhibitions of wrath by the un- ed ‘omilies of the Anglomaniac. It gratifying therefore to discover occa- My that we are much more nearly up some of our distant relatives in the old world. The Court Journal, which comes to from dear, fi old Lunnren, is ped by jen which has been king admirably and acceptably in this y for some time and which will be extended. Says the esteemed a sug: “Mr. Henniker Heaton has recently been en the warpa-h with intense eagerness.

The curiosity manifested with regard to the real meaning of General Lee's appoint- ment as Consul General at Havana is | entirely justified by the facts, and the pepular idea that it represents something cut of the ordinary has much that is Persuasive about it. Mr. Williams, whom General Lee will relieve at Havana, is by general consent exceptionally well qualified for the duties of that post. He has discharged them for years with much satisfaction to the author- ities both there and here’ When it was first announced that he would shortly re- tire, surprise and regret were heard on every hand. Tho loss, it was plain, would ; be great. Where could the President turn for a man, competent to take up such importent work at such a critical time and . carry it forward with success? The general “Judgment was that the new man should Possess diplomatic and consular experl- ence, and a knowledge of Spanish and of the Spanish character. An untried man ip that line of business, however excellent and estimable he might be on personal scores, would, it was considered, be placed at a most serious disadvantage. While the public was puzzling over the Proposition, the selection of General Lee for the place was announced, and instantly all speculation on the subject was capped with an interrogation point. Why? Gen- eral Lee was, at the time, well placed in a cod office, and living comfortably and contentedly among his old neighbors and friends. He had had not a day's experi- ence in diplomatic work. He knew no Spanish. He would be a perfect stranger at Havana. It is safe to say, indeed, and Without the slightest disrespect to General Lee, that upon the ordinary grounds goy- erning such a case he would scarcely have been considered in connection with the ap- pointment. Why then should the President have called him from the ene post, where he was well placed and contented, to take up the difficult duties of the other, weil calculated to tax the skill and equipment of a veteran diplomat? The answer framed itself cut of the situ- ation in Cuba and the fact of General Lee being an educated soldier. The conclusion was reached that the President was seck- ing some military information and opinion, and that, for a season, invoices and bills of lading and all that sort of thing would be subordinated to a study of Spanish trochas and the ability of the insurgents to cross them at pleasure. In this view of matters the appointment justified itself. There could be no doubt of General Lee's entire competency for work like that, nor any question raised as to the value of his deductions if he were permitted to proceed with the work unhampered by embarrass- ing instructions. And this view of matters will continue to prevail despite the efforis in official quarters to discredit it by the assertion that the presence of General Lee in Havana will mean nothing more than the filling of the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. Williams. It is unnecessary to say that General Lee will carry with him to Cuba the good wishes of all his countrymen. He repre- sents in their eyes the sterling qualities of citizenship and soldiership, and they are not prepared to believe that in any circum- stances he can be brought to sympathize with oppression as against a brave stand fer justice and independence. The effect of his reports, therefore, on the administra- tion’s attitude will be watched with a lively interest in every quarter of this country. + Senator Kyle’s speech in the dollar-gas debate was printed in full in the Con tonal Record which made public appea: ance this mornirg. This speech and the able argument of Senator George consti- tute a storehouse of facts and statistics, extremely valuable for reference purposes and for study. The popular coniention— the demand tor deliar gas—was unavailiag in the Senate, but the argumentative hon- ors are all with the minority. — ¢ = ____ Not the least meritovious action of the Senate yesterday upon District matters Was the defeat upon a point of order of the amendment clothing the District Com- missioners with extraordinary and unlim- ited powers over the District outside of the city limits in the matter of permits for the erection of poles to carry overhead electric wi of all descriptions. —+22—___ A Philadelphia syndicate offers to pay $20,000,000 for Phiiadelphia’s gas plant; it also promises, in case the sale be made, to seli illuminating gas to the city for sixty cents and to private consumers for one dol- lar, with fuel gas at sixty-five cents.

A Political Sorrow. "Mongst ironies that we must scan, This one for woe is seldom matched; The office that will seek the man Ne’er has a salary attached. “De man dat likes ‘is own conversation too weil,” said Uncle Eben, “ginerally gits er chance soonah or later ter m'nopolize de listenin’.” Did Not Apply. “Young man,” said the gentleman who always gives good advice, “let your ambi- tions lead you constantly higher.” “I—I don’t know that such a plan would work in my case.” “Why not?” ‘I'm a bass singer.” Failed to Agree. The man with the vegetable wagon stood on the front step. “Want anything in my line?” he asked. “No,” was the reply. “De lady of de house says she don’t want no mo’ dealin’s wif you.” “Why?” “She says yer is too inhahmonious; dat yoh strawberries ain’ fresh ‘nuff, an’ yoh is altogeddah too fresh.” The Rest of It. ‘You told her her dress was very becom- ing,” said one woman. “Did she repeat it to you?” “Yes. She seemed quite pleased with the compliment.” “Well, I didn’t finish the sentence. What I meant was that her dress was becoming shockingly out-of-date.” An Authentic Case. “I know a man,” he said, earnestly, “whose life was saved by a patent medi- cine.” ‘Excuse me,” said the auditor, wearily, “but it’s bad enough to have to read those things without listening to them.” “But this isn’t any display type, next to reading matter story. It’s a genuine fact. He couldn't eat anything—” “Yes. And then he took Dr. So-and-So’s Something-or-Other, and it toned his di- gestion up so that he could digest carpet tacks.” “No. He couldn’t eat because he didn’t have the price of a meal. But he invented a patent medicine and got a capitalist to belp him put it on the market, and now he can eat whenever he feels lise it.” The Real Objection. ’Tis not his talk which makes the bore, Who comes when busy grows the day; Tempt you to rise and smite him sore Because he will not go away. For, with himself, by telephone, He might converse the whole day through; His fault, for which nanght can atone, is wanting to be Tistened to, THE EVENING STAR, BOYS’ THIN CLOTHES-- Made with as much care as the men’s.
