The Commis- should be much concerned as to ter, for in the contract, and foilow- specifications to which the con- tractor has subscribed, is this proviso: “No payment will be made for any work wherein strict compliance with the above provisions is not observed.” It Is a reason- able estimate that the contractor earned last night ‘ess than one-half of the amount winch he will be paid for the miserable work done by his sprinklers and sweepers. But the Commisioners should be con- cerned for more than mere financial rea- sons. There is in the employ of the Dis- triet—appointed and controlled by the Com- missioners themselves—a force of inspectors whose sworn duty it is to report upon the character of the work done by the street- sweeping contractor. Last night's opera- tions may be viewed as a fair sample of the work done during the present contract term. The Commissioners can test the effi- ciemey of their inspection force by compar- ing thetr reports of the character of the work done last night and previously with thase supplied by disinterested representa- tives of The Star. It is the common thing to find contractors who are willing to evade contract require- ments whenever such evasion promises to be profitable, and it is frequemtly the case that Inspectors are to be found who would rather be on good terms with a contractor than do their duty by those wha employ them; but there is no good reason why there should be any such inspectors in the Distriet of Columbla. Such contractors we are liable to have so long as the unwhole- some municipal contract system continues to exist, but there ought not to be any trouble in securing a force of inspectors, if any present lack In this regard should de- velop, which can be depended upon to pro- tect the community against those whose business it is to make as much money as possible out of their bargain with the wunictpality. If the street-sweeping contractor desires to have The Star iook up any of the other details of his business relations with the District his suggestion will receive due consideration. ——__+ ee _____ The task which now confronts the cam- paign orator is that of convincing each au- ditor that by voting his way he will bring about a condition under which what an in- dividual has to sell to others will become dear and what others have to sell to him will become cheap. ——__+ + = Politics has often been alluded to as a game of chance. With Mr. Watson it ap- pears to have taken the form of solitaire. soe Is Weyler Tired? Is General Weyler tired of his bloody fob? Is he convinced that success is im- pesstble, and ts he trying Im an indirect way to get the fact before the authorities at Madrid? Attention has several times been cailed to tha immunity enjoyed at Havana by a correspondent of the London Times, who, while his American assoctates were pinned down to the hard Ines of the press censor, or for evading the censor were being sent back home, was writing to his paper in terms of discouragement to the Spanish couse. Some of his letters have been more severe than any printed tn this country. ‘They have gone elaborately into the sub- ject. and disclosed the fact that the author Was in the enjoyment of excellent facilities sioners this n of information. This man is still in Ha- vena, and ts still writing home in a strain that must make the Spaniards sick at heart. His letters are read in Spain, as in other European countries. The Times is a great authority, in Europe generally as well as in Great Britain. This has seemed strange over here. Why should this English writer be granted priv- ieges denied to American writers? Gen- eral Weyler’s excuse for establishing the press censorship was to insure the sending abroad of reliable news about the progress of the war. The real reason, of course, was to insure, if possible, the sending out of only such news as might be favorable to Spain. The representatives of the American press, he charged, were preju- diced against Spain, and could not be trusted to make a fair report home. But why has this English writer been allowed to spread abroad news which if commun!- cated by any Amertcan journalist in Ha- vara would have promptly caused his ban- ishment from the island? Can it be that General Weyler is taking this means of letting his superiors at home know just how desperate the situation in Cuba is? He could not afford to com- municate the fact directly himself That would result in his downfall. It was for scmething like that—for explaining to the heme government precisely what was afoot in Cuba, and how it must be dealt with—that General Campos was recalled. Articles of such import in American news- papers would count for nothing at Madrid. They would be discounted by the well un- derstood sympathies of the American press and people with the Cuban cause. But a review of matters on the island printed in the famous English newspaper, whose leading articles are read by all the statemen of Europe, would cut the ice And so it has cut it. Spain is at last roused to the real situation, and the peo- ple are murmuring. They are getting tired of the heavy drains of money and to show for them. Weyler’s position has become embarrassing, but humiliating. most, managing to keep alive. sn’t expese himself. He sticks avana. His troops not em- troops, with no progre: General not only are ed.

Fever is raging in and the mortality is appalling. nder, therefore, that he is will- ing to shelter this English correspondent, whose graphic and doubtless altogether ful accounts of what i helping to bring S going on are pain to something which for courtesy’s sake may be called her serses. ‘This correspondent is well worth the protection he enjoys. -———— wee The News, Pure and Undefit-d. People who want to be well informed as to the political situation will have no dif- ficulty in securing a clear view of the entire field if they will read the political matter which is appearing and will continue to ap- pear in The Star. A more mixed-up condi- tion of partisan affairs has probably never been since this government was first or- ganized: now even the most skilful and earing of political prophets stammers-and hesitates and does. what he can to avoid making anything that looks like a direct statement as to what the future holds in reserve for development in November next. The Star has made arrangements for a re- markably comprehensive and thoroughly independent news service from every con- tested state in the Union. It did the same thing, but not quite so extensively, four years ago, and then provided its readers with a vast quantity of valuable and in- teresting information as to the progress of the campaign. Now, as in times past, The Star's news will be wholly without bias; it will show things just as they are without regard for any of the influences that are customarily in motion during a presidential campaign. Whatever views The Star may have as to candidates or platforms will find expression in the editorial columns. In the news colurans will be found plain statements of fact upon which readers may safely base opinions of which they are not likely to be made ashamed. The Star will present the news pure and undefiled. That is The Star's habit. see The New Bobtails. The District Commissioners claim the right to issue a ington Comp: bobtail permit to the Eck- y under authority granted m the act of July 29, Isv2, which, in a proviso, says that “this act shall not apply to any company operating street railways outside the limits of the city of Washington or through ununproved and sparsely-settled sections of the same, until such time as the Commissioners of the District of Columbia shall deem necessary for the public need: Perhaps, im the opinion of the Commission- ers, the main portion of the proposed bob- tail route—which commences at G sireet and Massachusetts avenue and ends at the northern termination of North Capitol street—runs through a sparsely-settled region, but the general kelief is likely to be completely at variance with thai opinion. The problem is a new one for Eckington- ians. In other cities—wicked places—pas- sengers om bobtail cars have been known to refuse to put their farea in the box, taus compelling the employmen: of conductors, Surely the Eckingtonians will not proceed to such an extreme. ‘Phat is an interesting rumor which has it that the Pullman Palace Car Company is likely te reduce its rates one-half. If the rumor deyelops into truth and practice then there can be rejoicing at both ends of the line, for the public will secure, at reasonable figures ,the luxury which all persons travel- ing like to enjoy, while the Pullman com- pany will do so much more business that its dividends are certain to be increased. In the Pullman end of the proposition people generally will hardly be much interested— the individual is quite as selfish as is the syndicate—but experience teaches us that the cheapening of any kind of a product in- variabiy results in largely increased con- sumpuon. If Pullman rates are cut fifty percent the chances are that five or six umes as many passengers will patronize Pullman cars as may now be found in those comfortable vehieles. That would mean many additional cars with resultant profit so great as to more than offset the rumored reauction. ee —__ Is This a Precedent? Royalty has never been accused of being over-madest. Whenever it has waated any- ining it|has generally reached out after it suceessfully. In this crude country, where society fis in a comparatively chaotic and lowly condition, people who are about to be married usually accept such presents as may be made to them. If the .ouple is very popular there will be many duplicates and some of the gifts will not perhaps be entirely to the satisfaction of the recip- ients. This might have been so as to the Prircess Maud of Wales, but it is not. The people of the county of Norfolk had ‘raised about four hundred pounds with which to purchase a present for the highly-respected young lady. The princess notitied the com- mittee in charge that her preference would be for a check covering the amount of the subscriptions. With that little document in her possession she could go out shopping some day and purchase for her own use a silver dinner service which would not vio- late all the laws of art. So the people of Norfolk gave the Princess Maud a check. ———_++s+____ Unless the weather changes very ma- terially, it is to be feared that as a popu- lar attraction the serio-comic songstress on the roof garden will have a little the best of it in her rivalry with the oratorical per- formances at Madison Square Garden. ———~+e2____ The diagrams of Nansen's journey afford a pleasing relief from the weather mapa which have recently been occupying much attention, THE WEEK. The event of the week in political circles was the notification of Bryan and Sewall at New York of their nomination for Pres- ident and Vice President, respectively, by the Chicago demccratic convention. The West Virginia democratic convention nom- inated for governor C. C. Watts. Fifteen persons lost their lives by the overturning of pleasure boats in Michigan, Illinois and in the Delaware. A trolley car ran away near Lancaster, Pa. and was ditched, killing seven people and injuring fifty more. The American Liae stzamship St. Paul made the run from Southampton, Eng., to New York in six days and thirty- one minutes, breaking all previous west- ward records. Western Pennsylvinia was visited by a cloudburst, causing che loss of a number of lives and the destruction of much valuable property. The President approved the findings of the court-martial which convicted Cadets Bishop and Com- mager of hazing at West Point and sen- tenced them to dismiss2].

Dr. Nansén, the explorer, arrived at Vardo Island, Norway, on the mer W ward, which recently went te Franz Josef Land, in order to bring back the Jackson- Harmsvrorth expedition. Mr. Curzon an- Rounced in the house of commons that Great Britain had accepted the decision of Pertugal, as arbiter, acknowledging the sovereignty of Brazil over the Island of Trinidad, a question which has been in dis- pute for some time past. ‘The English heuse of commons adopted the Irish land Lill in the form outlined by Mr. Gerald Bal four, chief secretary for Ireland. Wnitec States Minister Terrell demanded the im- mediate release of six Armenians, natur- alized Americans, who are imprisoned at Aleppo. Mollah’ Reza, who assassinated the late Shah of Persia in May last, was hanged at Teheran in the presence of & immense concourse of people. At the chess tournament at Nuremberg, Lasker won tne first prize, Maroczy the second. Sir John Millais, the great English painter and pres- ident of the Royal Academy, died in Lon- dcn. Baroness Tennyson, widow of the late poet laureate, is dead. In the District. The extremely hot weather that marked the week previous was intensified during the early part of the past week and pros- trations were reported in unusual numbers. Several deaths occurred that were directly traceable to the Influence of the sun, and the official records of temperature | con- tinued rising until 98 degrees was reported as the maximum for one day; relief came ‘Thursday night, when a thunder storm passed over the “ity and caused a material drop in the temperature. The case of the electric lighting contract was taken into court, and on the application of the United States Electric Lighting Company Judge Cole granted a temporary injunction re- straining the Commissioners from entering into any contract for public illumination or granting any permits for the construction of conduits, &c., with a rule to show cause Why the Injunction should not be made permaneat, returnable August 5. The C missioners’ decided to accept the square known as the Earle property in Georg: town, bounded by 25th, 36th, T and U streets, as the site for the new Western High School building. The Commissioners vacated for ten days their order of July 15 requiring the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company to adopt a new schedule granting speedier service. Samuel L. Phillips resigned as president of the Metropolitan Railroad Company, to take ef- fect October 15, he having completed the work of equipment for which he undertook the direction of the affairs of the corpora- tion. The last stone was set on the post of- fice building Friday afternoon. Maggie E. Henderson, a girl of sixteen years, was run down and killed by a Brightwood electric car Wednesday night. Clinton Knorleins 4 boy of fifteen, was drowned at the bath- ing beach Wednesday. A. H. Pile of Cali- fornia, accountant of the national com- mittee of the silver party, was found drowned in the Potomac river; an investi- gation was instituted, but little was ascer- tained, and the conclusion was reached that the drowning was accidental: the body was cremated with appropriate ceremonies by the Theosophical Society, of which he was a member. Washington F. Pedrick, former- ly of this city, died in Philadelphia. John L. Ford, who was shot by Columbus Fear- son in Georgetown, died at the hospital from his wounds, and the charge of murder was made against his ascallant. ——_~+ee____ SHOOTING STARS. “Sometimes,” said Unce Eben, “er man puts on er long face an’ says he's discour- aed when he's simply too lazy ter try again. ‘Fhe Alarm Clock.
