THE EVENIN STAR has a regular permanent Family Circulation much more than three times as large as that of any other paper, morning or evening, published in Washing- ton. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. (7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- 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, 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 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. The Law and the Fourth. As the Fourth of July approaches there is steady increase in the number of inquiries that are being made as to the effect of the Commissioners’ new anti-fireworks regu- lation. On its Zace this addition to the lo- cal statutes does not seem to discourage the setting off of the customary explosives, but as a matter of fact it offers a serious if not insurmountable obstacle to such dis- plays as have been common ever since the first anniversary of the Declaration of In- dependence. With the Commissiuners’ de- sign to lessen the noise: of the Fourth there will be much sympathy, for a great deal of the disturbance nas been annoying and unnecessary, but exception has not unreasonably been taken to so much of the recertly-promulgated order as would pre- vent the thousands of harmless lawn-dis- plays that have always been a local fea- ture of our biggest national holiday. The Star is opposed to the gun and the pistol and the ear-benumbing giant cracker, and The Star would be well pleased if bubbling patriotism found more of expression in red, white and blue bunting and less in the frequently unmeaning racket that assails us once a year, but it is beginning to be- lieve that the Commissioners have pos- gone a little too far at one step. There is strong and sincere sentiment ad- verse to the reservation plan; to the herd- ing together in half a dozen designated places of those children who have no par- ents or whose parents are careless as to the welfare of their offspring. That the reservation idea will, if insisted upon, re- sult in a greatiy-increased number of cas- ualties 1s practically certain; that there will be thieving and fighting is as sure as anything which has not yet happened can be It has been suggested that the action of the Commissioners in designating places where fireworks may legally be exploded wiil render the District Hable for any dam- age that may be done either to property or individuals, and it is also intimated that people who reside in the immediaie vicin- ity of the as yet unannounced reservations will have sound cause ‘or legal action either prior to or after the Fogrth. It is beyond question that lawlessness will be encouraged by the reservation plan. About ali of the police force will be needed to Preserve @ semblarce of order on the exempted sqtares, so there can be no con- siderable number of officers on the streets discourage the pistol-firing and the cker-expleding men and youths who be the premier objects of repressive lation. Last year the total number of casualties Was extremely small. Not one of the dozen cr so of cases known to the police or hospital authorities was serious. The four fires were little things, the total loss being less than fifty doilars. Such a Fourth ef July record in a city of this size is re- merkable. If the new regulation is in- isted upon, will the next Fourth be as harmless? ie ——__-2«-2— Is the Irish Vote Captured? The English newspapers seem to be de- termined to cause the election of McKinley. One of the first things they did when he was nominated was to assail his hig tariff propensities, and to declare that his election meant trouble fot British com- mercial interests. It is now known that the McKinley tariff ideas have not entirely fallen into disrepute in this country, but on the contrary that they are rather more popular now than when they were embodied in a measure bearing McKinley's nami British prosperity is hardly a tactful ar- gument to make in antagonism to Mc- Kinley’s choice, especially when the votes are to be cast on this side of the water. But the latest piece of campaign work in nis behalf is convincing evidence of a latent desire in some British quarters to have the Ohio man occupy the White House. A cor- respondent of the London Chronicle in- sists that McKinley comes from Irish stock. He declares as his best belief, founded on personal infermation, that the immediate origin of the McKinley family is to be found on the borders of the counties of Antrim and Derry, on the Emerald Isle, and that the McKinley migration was due to the McKinley activity in the famous rebellion of 1 Perbaps this is one of the clever bits of work of the astute Mark Hanna, who has developed a genius for campaigning. rtainly a telling blow. — There is a New York rumor which has it that Thomas b. Reed intends entering into @ law partnership with Grover Cleveland and John G. Carlisie after March 4 next. Why in the name of all that is fair has Tumor neglected to make it a quartet by adding the name of Benjamin Harrison? ———+ es Two hundred men worked today on the new city post-office building. ——~-2—____ Cuba Up to Date. Spain, as was expected and predicted, is greatly disturbed over the Cuban deliver- ance of the St. Louis conventien. She sees in it fresh evidence of unfriendliness toward herself on the part of the United States, and, as a result, so a Lendon cable reports, she is increasing her supplies for carrying on the war in Cuba. The Chicago conven- tion is certain to add io this uneasiness. The democrats will express themselves on the subject of Cuba with quite as much emphasis as the republicans have done, and then not only Spain but other nations as well will understand how strongly the Struggle of a people against oppression appeals to sympathy in this country. But, as a matter of fact, this convention deliverance marks no new feeling in the United States as to Cuba. It is but another expression of the feeling that has existed from the first. Congress expressed it, and with more authority than this national convention has done. If there is any extra intensity to be ncted in the feeling now it rows out of a resentment that the action ©f Congress was nullified by the President. Meanwhile attention on this side the water son Consul-General Lee at Havana. He has been at his post long enough to “get the lay of the land,” and his reports to bis chief here ought to be important. There is a rumor that he has communicated with the State Department, end that his views are antagonistic to Spain. This comes under the head of being important if true. But it has not been co. firmed. General Lee has been active in Havana, visiting Americans in prison, and exercising his good offices in contributing to their comfort. But he has not been out of the city, and whatever he has discovered bearing on the general situation must have come to him through others. On this point the presence in Cuba at this time of General Bradley T. Johnson of Baltimore is to be noted. General penne is a distinguished ex-confederate, knews what war is. He is in Cuba = a newspaper correspondent, and has been traveling about the island in quest of news sbout the insurgents. He has likewise been lcoking into the manner in which Spain is conducting her campaign. His published letters strongly condemn Spain. They tell stories quite as shocking to humanity as any that have proceeded from any source since the war began. General Johnson has just returned to Havana after an exciting experience. He Siw an insurgent force in action. He has dined since with General Lee. The two men are on terms of intimate friendship, end it is an easy inference that General Lee must have gathered from General Johnson all of the latter's impressions respecting the situation. It was a source of information which General Lee was to be expected to profit by to the utmost, and dcubtless he has improved the occasion. General Johnson's views are known. Does General Lee, an old army comrade, share them? And, if he does, has he officially written home in that strain? And, if he has, how much influence may his reports be expected to have on the President,\and to what extent affect the President's future course? General Lee’s mission is under- Stood to be semi-military. That is to say, the President wanted a soldier's estimate of things. Now that he has it, what will he do with it? ———~+s___ Gnats and Camels. Potomac water is being wasted. It always is wasted in summer time; the season when it should be used sparingly, because of deficient supply, yet the season when the legitimate demand for water is greatest. ‘the authorities are engaged in their usual campaign against those persons who are unmindful of the anti-waste ordinance, but there is official restiveness because the mis- demeanants are rot svfficiently punished by police court. No reasonable being who knows of the condition of our water supply will argue against the prosecutions institu- ted by the water department, but it is not cut of place to ask why tens of thousands cf gallons of the precious liquid are daily permitted to run to waste in the govern- ment departments. More of the fluid runs to waste in anyone of the departments in a day than Is wasted in any five hundred homes; yet the five hundred homes may sooner or later be represented in police court, while the departments are never heard from in the temple of justice. Why Strain at a gnat and swallow a camel? ———__++-+___ it is hoped that in case Major McKinley suffers any embarrassment from the pres- ence of the word “gold” in the republican platform, Mr. Piatt will refrain ‘from gloat- ing over the alleged share he had in putting it there. eg gene Members of the musical union observe in support of McKinley's claim to be known as the apostle of prosperity, that the mere | mention of his name causes great activity in the bress band industry. ——__~ +2 ___ In his message to Mr. Hobart Major Mc- Kinley did not consider it necessary to add to his congratulations his best wishes for a safe and prosperous campaign. + 0 There is still a great deal ahead of the campaign-button manufacturers in the way of agile endeavor to keep the supply ad- Justed to the demand. —————— The political experts are now at work trying to decide whether or not the “hand- writing on the wall” seen by Senator Tel- ler is genuine. Governor Altgeld has conveyed to the republican managers the not discouraging {information that their .ticket does not please Lim. Spain should not commit the error of imagining she possesses a monopoly of the indignation. —____+ ++ The Spaniards in Cuba appear to have surrendered even the-telegraph offices. -—_ _++-+____ SHOOTING STARS. “Dah’s many er big man,” said Uncle Eben, “dat nebbet would hab climbed ter success ef ‘is wife hadn’ stood by an’ lent er han’ sometimes ter stiddy de iadder.” A Season of Revenges. The two girls were on a shopping tour. “You didn’t speak very courteously to the clerk,” said one of them. “I'm sure I didn’t mean to be inconsid- erate,” was the reply. “I don’t see that there was any occasion to be elaborately deferential.” “Well, it's just as well to be very careful indeed at this time of year. There isn’t any telling who is going to be the only man at the summer resort your father insists on visiting.” A Hot Wave. The skies aloft like molten glass Wither the fragile clouds that pass; And tiny chasms all athirst Gape where the arid soil has burst. Roses are dead, and south winds pall; Much nonsense I would fain recall, For they grow sadly out of tune, Those compliments to you, oh, June. Her Sarcasm. “Henry,” said Mr. Meekton’s wife, who “had been overcoming his objections to some household expenses, “you ought to go into politic: “I'm sure you never gave me any credit for ability in that line before.” “No, but I think now that you have some of the right qualities. I never saw any- body more reluctant to talk about money then you are.” What He Knew About It. “Have you seen Mathilde’s new dress?’ asked Mrs. Cumrox. “No, I haven't seen Matilda’s new dress,” was the not very genial reply; ‘and what, is more, I don’t want to see it.” “I should think you would have enough ofthe sentiments of a father about you to take an interest in what Mathilde wears.” “I can find out all I want to know about Matilda’s dresses,’ he rejoined, persisting in his own pronunciation, “without seeing them.” “Oh, indeed. Then perhaps you can de- scribe the material of this one.” “I can; not minutely, but none the less accurately. The most conspicuous thing about the material is a large check. I feel sure about that, because I wrote the check myself.” Up from the cradle came a wail. At first a pensive coo Into a weird, vociferous wail Of meurnfulness it grew. His sorrow, in a vein prolix, He struggled to reveal, “My father's talking politics; And mother rides a wheel. “They say I'm cross. I'm simply sad At being slighted so. I wish the baby-carriage fad Could somehow get a show. How can you blame one in my fix For setting up a squeal? My father’s talking politics, And mother rides a wheel.” ee Bon Marche, ’ 314 and 316 7th St. MORE JUNE REDUCTIONS Why pay regular prices when we are selling nearly everything at re- ducted or “special” prices?
