The District of Columbia does no voting, and the campaigners who labor to influence the opinions of voters waste no appeals upon the permanent population of the Fed- eral District. The Washingtonian with no political residence elsewhere cannot cast a ballot in November, and Is conseyien‘ly relieved by the Constitution of the neces- sity of weighing opposing political conten- tions in order to decide how he will vote. But in spite of this obvious incentive to sluggishness and ignorance in respect to political concerns, the interest of the aver- age Washingtonian in political news and the extent and accuracy of his information on political issues are not, it Is beleved, equaled in the average citizen of eny of the states. The national government which will be placed in power by the November ballot- ing, from participation in which the Wash- ingtonian is debarred, will be also the municipal government of the District of Columbia. Hence the Washingtonian's In- terest in the prospects and results of that election. This is the seat of national gov- ernm the scene of the great political debates and of record-making acts. The republic's political is a part of Wash local Hence the Wash lan’s acquaintance with na- and the statesmen who make ion of The Star to spread ily before the people of the District whatever of the werld’s news will interest them, to give voice to local opinion in re- t to matters which concern Washing- to protect the interests of the capital presperity. The Washing- above set forth, interested in and The Star, in pursuance onal policy, has furnished and » to furnish to its readers full, i unbiased news of the events cterizing the important chapter of ical hist now bei recorded. 's handl of the re t conventions at and Chicago has been pronounced aper men unsurpassed in the ments of afternoon journalism, and yroposes to deal with the same thorough- ness with other political events as they oc- cur. It has already a corps of special po- litical correspondents covering all the dis- puted states of tne Union, who will report prospects to The Star with ac- vracy as their sole purpose, and the only of the merits of their correspondence. eerrespondents are chosen without erence to their individual political be- . and if a letter from one state seems e a republican leaning and from an- St. by nm fac to hi other a democratic tendency the views are to be accepted as the honest beliefs of the correspondents, colored, if at all, only un- censciously and in spite of the intentions of the writer. The Star has printed some interesting al correspondence from Alabama, concernirg the election which takes place on Monday, and so it will deal with the other disputed states between the present time aad the date of the November election. So such in the shape of political argument is printed unavoidab'y in Washington papers in reporting Congressional debates, reports from the departments, and interviews with tesmen that The Siar has not devoted much additional apace to political contro- 2es with which its readers are already to a great extent familiar. But the fin ial issue of the present campaign is now discussed neither on partisan nor even al lines, but as a business question a ing every one’s individual interests. For that reason The Star gives space today elsewhere in its columns to a symposium upon the financial question in its relation to articipated in by dis- which will doubtless ») Wage-earners ies them very much in earne in looking after their owa vigorous manner which is common business two the ed that the with him cally beer in the han trict—-Mr. sented to the s law was with him and The problem has practi ‘The matter was placed ney for the Dis and he has pre- inion and importance of which cannot eas‘ly be overestimated. It is more than a mere solution of a pending questioa; it is an eccurate statement—clear testimony to the careful examination of authorities and thorough digestion of their meaning and intentions—of the power of the Commis- sioners over the public highways of the District. According to Mr. Thomas and the authoritfes upon which he bases his opinion, the Commissioners have no right to grant the extraordinary use of strests or aventes er other public thoroughfares to any person or corporation unless Con- gress hss 8» ordered specifically.

It is not so very clear why the President should at this time have seen fit to issue a second edition of his neutrality proclama- tion respecting the war in Cuba. The first edition had not been forgotten. Court de- cisions rendered since bearing upon the matter had been duly noted. Sympathy among the people for the insurgents is still very strong, but fibustering Is not on the increase. Spain has been getting more than her due in the way of assistance here. But the President speaks again. ‘With a“Solititude that ought to touch Spain, ke warns the people again that the cause of berty and hamanity in Cuba is still under the ban of treaty obligations, and hence cannot be espoused here. He could remove this ben, and in doing so comply with the wishes of the people and the request of Congress, but that he will not do. This latest proclamation, if it have no other effect, ought to be of great service to Minister de Lome. The minister—some- what unaccountably, as we see the matter in this country—has lately ineurred some criticism at home. He is accused of having cooled a little in his official zeal. The Span- ish are an intense and impatient people, and demand service of much ado and high- pressure activity at all times. They do not always get it They have not been getting it in Cuba, and they have been complaining that of late they have not been getting it here. So they have been wanting to know why. It has been reported, too, that some of this criticism was to be traced to General Weyler, who in that way was seeking to excuse his own failure in Cuba. The Mad- rid government was asked to believe that if Minister de Lome would only be a little more active here Spain's course in the island would make more headway. Now, surely, the Madrid government will acquit the minister of any dereliction with which it may at General Weyler’s insiance have charged him. Spain's course is still uppermost in official circles here, however much the sympathies of the people may lean to Cuba's side. And the credit of this is due, of course, to Minister de Lome. It is to be regretted, however, that, even indirectly, in this way, the President should have entered the contest and taken sides. No fight would have entertained the Amer- ican people more highly than the one thus opening between Minister de Lome and General Weyler; for however it had ended— and particularly if it had proved to be of the order of that between the Kilkenny cats—everybody would have been delighted. + o-— Will the Lesson Be Heeded? Out of the fearful staughter and suffering caused by the collision of two railroad trains on the Atlantic City meadows issues a lesson that ought to be instructive but which will probably be disregarded not only by the railroad companies concerned but by all other railroad companies similarly cir- cumstanced as to tracknge. Leaving €n- tirely out of the question the human agony for which no coin can compensate and the priceless lives that were sacrificed, the col- lision will cost the two companies large sums of moncy. Railroad equipment is ex- pensive work, and a vast deal of capital can be sunk in a single wreck. It is not unrea- sonabie to suggest that the companies will expend more money in repairs, in new en- gines and cars and in settlement of damage suits, than would be needed to make im- possible—by the elevation of one set of tracks—such a collision as that which sad- dens the entire country. Legislation which would compel the abolition of railroad cross- ings at grade may not now be more than thought of—the railroads are supreme in too many legisiatures—but there is a possi- bility that seif-inierest will some day bring about a reform which is a painfully-evident necessity. It is no excuse to say that the coiston would not have occurred had the dead engineer or any other trainman under spicion been mindful of his duty. ‘The rauroad companies should do all they can to eliminate the possibilities of danger. ———~e+____ Seventeenth-Century Delaware. Delaware is a remarkable commonwealth and must therefore count among its popu- iation a number of remarkable people. Of this class are they who seem just now to be wholly engaged in the arresting and punishing of American citizens who insist upon publicly declaring their belief in the single-tax doctrines which have been freely discussed In so many communities. It is said that the Jail in one of Delaware's principal towns {s filled to overflowing with reputable men whose only offending lies in their endeavors to cpenly address such of the Delawareans as would listen to them while they made plain their views on the subject of single-taxation. With such per- secution as the Delaware authorities per- mit and practice the people of the country at large have no sympathy; they condemn it vigorously. The theory of the single-iax is believed in and supported by brainy and honest men. The right of every citizen to discuss theories of government is recog- nized everywhere throughout the republic, save in Delaware, and the exception is most discreditable to the state that in this matter is trying to be as small mentally as it is physically. If the advocates of free speech were anarchists howling for bloody revolution Delaware could hardly do more than is being done to the single-taxers. — = The reports of the sentence of Dr. Jame- son say nothing of the bill of fare or the style of accommodations which are to be provided ‘for him during his fifteen months of sojourn in durance vile.

Aw He Saw It. “Do you think that free-silver means prosperity?” asked the earnest seeker for truth. “Do I think so?” repeated the energetic publisher. “I know it. I’ve printed six dif- ferent books on the subject and the least ul is in its tweatleth edition.” Sorrow. not a selfish grief that robs Her features of their smile. Her dog went out a-walking and His tag was out of style. A Popular Error. “They say that it’s mighty hard for a e to keep from repeating himself eches.”” true, however. Many’s the time Ive heard a candidate declare that he would not accept a nomination, and after it was put where he could really get hold of it, he never thought of saying the same thing -over.” A Brisk Business. > “Yes,” said the man who is always de- pressed, “business Is very slow.” “I've heard some people say they were prospering.” “Well, maybe they are. The only fellow that I've heard of who could bring around his bill and collect anything on it lived in New Jersey. He w: @ mosquito.” Accommodated. “Father,” said the young man who was home from school, ‘‘you must not take of- fense If the farm does not suit me. I feel that my talents demand a broader field.”” “That's lucky, my boy, an’ to yer credit ez well. Ye'll be tickled to know thet I've beught an adjoinin’ section of land, an’ ez soon ez I git the fences moved every field on the place'll be half ez wide agin. Then ye kin trrn in an’ hustle ter yer heart's ccntent.” A Consistent Critic. A cynic cnce paused and gave ear to a song From a heart that was full and free; He sneered at the Joy that it gave the throng, And he sighed, along— “It doesn’t make sense,” quoth he. He stopped where a bird in life's gratitude Sang cut from its native tree. The rustie smiled, for he understood, But the cynic heard in the self-same mood; “It doesn’t make sénse,” quoth he. as its melody throbbed GOLDENBERG’S, 926-928 7th—706 K Sts.
