8B : THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. x SATURDAY...........0ctover 10, 1506. -Editor. CROSBY S. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR. has a regolar and permanent Family Circulatior. 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. {71m order to avoid delays, on ac- eount of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed te any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depurt- ments, according to tenor or purpose. The Virginians at Canton. Often as they occur, the friendly meet- ings of the men in public who opposed each other in the civil war are always in- teresting. They are not only beautiful evi- dences of our advanced civilization, but proof beyond all cavil or question of the strong bonds that support the reunited country. Thy meeting at Canton yesterday, when nearly two thousand ex-confederates frem the Shenandoah valley called on Mir. Mc- and pledged him their support, was especially interesting. The visitors were sentatives of the flower of the con- erate armies. They had followed Ston wall Jackson in all of his hard and memor- able riding, and had made sacrifi to none for the cause of the Their hosts were representatives best offerings of the Union side. of the Ohio's soldiers fought valiantly on every fleld of that war. So that when these men met yesterday as brothers, marching under t same flag and indersing the same gover mental policy, the occasion was in every way worthy of national attention. Mr. McKinley's speech was one of the most felicitous of the campaign. it was in perfect taste. Cordial without being effusive, the welcome he extended must have impressed his visitors with increased respect for him as a man and citizen, and with increased confidence in his capacity and patriotism as a party leader. He met them in ihe spirit in which they had call- ed, and {t is inevitable that they will re- turn home stronger supporters than ever of a policy calculated to benefit all sec- tions alike. One of the strangest features of this cam- paign is the fact that a cheap currency finds so many advocates in the south. No other section of the country aas had so distressing an experience with cheap moncy. The confederate government used its flat extensively. The law was invo! to make morey plentiful. Men's pockets became stuffed with it. In a short time the difiiculty was not to get it but to get rid of it. It possessed practically no vaiue. The laws of trade would obtrude them- selves. They have that faculty in all coun- tries and in all circumstances. ‘The south was making heroic efforts to establish a separate government—was offering up her besi blood in the cause. But she could not repeal, or even suspend, the laws of trade. She could not by statute give value to something which in itself had ne value. The merchant refused to part with his goods by the laws of sentiment, but fusist- ed on their value calculated by the laws of trade. The law compelled him to take the lucal currency, but it could not fix the price of his goods, and so, fixing that price himself by the iaws of trade, he was ferced to mark them up so high that it took a small fortune to buy a suit of clothes. Wny should the south desire a further experience with flat money? What further vidence should it require to be convinced { money, real money, is not, and cannot be, a creature of law? ——___++e____ Careless Riders and Drivers. A member of the police cycle-squad was injured recently in a collision with a rider who was on the wrong side of the street. This accident may perhaps call the atten- tion of our guardians of the peace and corservators of the public safety to the fact that a very large percentage of the riding and driving done in Washington is done on the wrong side of the street. The sinning is quite general. Bicycle riders are perhaps the most frequent misdemean- ants, but because of the small quantity of space occupied by a wheel they have maraged to squeeze through the tight places and thus escape the publicity which has come to the ¢ above referred to and the punishment which awaits the care- less ome who chanced to be captured. Drivers of vehicles are, however, danger- ously unconcerned. Conscious of the fact that bulk and weight will tell in a colli- sion they go blundering along without any particular regard for the legal rights of anybody else who happens to shave a weaker equipment than they. The bicycle squad might with credit to itself not only investigate whether all the little boys in tewn have bells on their wheels but also devote some time to teaching the drivers of beer wagons and grocery wagons and coal carts and the like that the law takes cognizance of their existence. —_ +e ____ Remove the Cause of Friction. Once mere is the Washington public made aware of the fact that there is trouble in the management of the Emergency Hos- pital; It is now announced chat the whole matter is again to be investigated. It is extremely unfortunate that disagreements which must inevitably reduce the efficiency of the instiiution should continue to exist. As to the minor disturbing details, people generally care but little;-all they ask is that by some means or other harmony be made to take the place of discord. The Emergency Hospital is one of the city’s most creditable features so far as the serv- ices it renders are concerned, bui the good pame cf the hospital and of the city also ” must inevitably suffer if the cause of fric- tion is not speedily removed. ee -— Following several illustrious examples, the national headquarters of the Ctgar- makers Union will soon be removed to this city, here to Le permanently establish- ed. This is the place for all the vari-ties of national headquarters. Here alone can they occupy neutral ground; ground which is held equally by any and all of the states; the only purely national territory. ————_ + ++ ____ Senator Hill goes no further than to say that he will vote for Bryan.

The result in Florida and Georgia will be likely, it is thought, to shake the faith of Chairman Hanna in some of the programs that have been submitted to him about making play for certain southern states. It was difficult enough at the start to get his interest enlisted. He knew nothing about the south except from hearsay, and that was not at all encouraging to any pro- ject for achieving republican triumph down there. But he listened to suggestions from this person and that, and at last, it is said, came round. He was told that the gold ? = democrats were numerous, that many of them would go over openly to the repub- licars, and that by fusing here 1nd there with the pcpulists on locai issues, and with the gold democrats on the national issues, the republicans cou!d promise themselves anti-silver winnings in several states. The record up to date is not such, ft is admitted, as to fill a stranger like Mr. Hanna with hopes of the south for Novem- ber. Whatever the cause—whether from false counting on the part of the demo- crats, or factional dissensions among re- publicans and proposed fusionists, or from inability on the part of local leaders, as in the case of Chairman Buck in Georgia, to control the republican vote—certain it is that fer some cause the democrats are in the saddle in the south, as usual, and seem likely to remain there. The republicans in certain instances are able to show a greater increase in their vote than in the demo- cratic, thus suggesting a general republi- can drift over the country, and giving en- couragement of favorable results in doubt- ful states in other sections, but the hint given cercerning the south itself is that its democratic solidity will be unimpaired. These considerations do not apply to the berder states of Maryland, Delaware, Wes: Virginia, Missouri and Kentucky. The re- publican leadership there is both native and progressive; it represents property and social prestige; it has figured in local su cesses of note and importance. It shows a disposition to welcome recruits, and admit them when worthy to some of the best places. It is putting up a great fight this year. But in the lower southern states re- publicanism seems impotent. ———>0e—___ Improve Rock Creek Park. The resolutions adopted last night by the Brightwood Avenue Citizens’ Association towards executing the provisions of the law for laying out, preparing roadways and footpaths in, and saving from spoliation, Rock Creek Park, thereby making it ac- cessible to the public, will commend them- selves to the citizens of the entire District. As forcibly stated by the president of the association, over six years have elapsed since the act establishing the park became a law, yet up to the present time no money has been spent in making it acessivle to the pecple for whose benefit it was pur- chased. If this magnificent park is to be what it was intended, the Commissioners of the District should incorporate in their forthcoming estimates to Congress pro- vision for making the park accessible and commencing the much desired improve- ments a$ soon as the necessary funds are available. The second proposition, to make iGth street or Executive Avenue the eastern boundary of the Park, beyond Blagden Mill read, 1s very desirable. In the original act 16th street was to have been the eastern boundary of the Park. Owing, however, to jack of sufficient funds the land could not be procured, and the boundary line was therefore made exceedingiy irregular, leay- ing several small sections of land belonging to private duals intervening between the line of 16th street and the present east- ern boundary of the Park. The valley of Piney Branch, at its junc- tion with Rock Creek adjoining Mt. Pleas- ant, Is especially beautiful and forms one of the few natural entrances to the Park. The prop»sition to acquire this land, on either side of the stream from tne present boundary of the Park to Piney Branch road, as an addition to our park system, 1s also to be commended. indi —_++=>—___. Telephone Rebate. The Star's attention has been called to the fact that the local telephone company makes provision for rebate to subscribers for interruptions and delays, such as have recently been caused by the wreck of a portion of the overhead-wire system by storm. This provision is in the form of an item in the contract signed by the sub- scriber and by representatives of the com- pany, as follows: “In case of interruption of communica- tion, from any cause whatever, the Hability of the Company therefor shall be limited to a repayment, or rebaie by it, of a pro- mate part of the yearly rental below d for the time such interruption sha tice to the company of 31 = No repayment or rebate will be made for interruptions, unless such interruptions ag- gregate more than three days in any month, nor for those caused by the negligence or wilful interference of the subscriber or of his agents or servants. The company shail not be liable for any loss or injury caused by interruption of or failure to restore communication except in the case and to the extent above provided.” This is but a partial rebate, bound in hy conditions, but The Star was in error yes- terday in stating that no rebate whatever was allowed by the company. a A galaxy of serio-comic singers and dancers, young women, were extensively advertised in New York, not as experts in their profession, but as being superlatively indifferent to all moral standards. There Was no parsimony in the manner of their advertising. The newspapers were full of their escapades with anonymous dukes and unidentified earls. But their reception was cool to the last degree. Their fate was a deserved one, and it points a cheerful les- son. While a scandalous report may serve as an advertisement, bringing attention to the person who figures in it, it is a danger- ous one. It is a challenge to the public to decide whether the performer is so gifted an artist as to conquer in spite of personal shortcomings. And where the decision is adverse the notoriety attained is worse than absolute obscurity. h interru > ___ Mr. Bryan has admonished nis followers to use their endeavors to secure a free- silver House and a free-silver Senate.

THE WEEK. State elections were held in two southern states, Florida and Georgia, ard in both democratic victories were recorded, though the democratic vote showei a falling off. Chicago day, the anniversary of the great fire, was observed in that city with political parades and political meetings; the repub- lican parade was estimated to contain over 76,000 men, and surpassed anything of the kind ever seen. Vice Presidential Candidate Arthur Sewall issued his letter of acceptance. Major McKinley received delegations at his home from different states. Candidate William J. Bryan made speeches in Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, Towa and South Dakota.

The Czar and Czarina of Russia landed at Cherbourg, France, and were cordially welcomed by President Faure and a large assemblage of people; after reviewing the fleet and attending a banquet the Russian visitors left Paris, where they were re- ceived with enthusiasm, after which the czar reviewed the French troops at Chalons. Lord Rosebery retired from the leadership of the liberal party in England because he could not sacrifice national in- terests to personal ambition. It was stated in London that negotiations relating to the Venezuelan boundary question will be re- sumed on the return of Sir Julian Paunce- fete to Washington during the present month; an early settlement is looked for. It is reported that fire in Guayaquil, Ecua- dor, destroyed fifteen squares of buildings: the loss is estimated at $54,000,000; incen- diarism is suspected and the people are furious. Germany has_ practically pro- hibited the importation of our canned beef. The Peruvian congress approved of the treaty of friendship and commerce between Peru and Japan. It was semi-officially an- nounced at Constantinople that the Turk- ish government had decided not to admit the United States practice ship Bancroft through the Dardanelles to act as guard- ship of the American legation. Mr. and Mrs. Walter M. Castle of San Francisco, Cal., were arrested in London on the charge of stealing furs from dealers in that city. The deaths of the week included Baron , the Australian explorer, who as- cended and named many mountains and tuvers on that continent; Cardinal Gaetano de Ruggiero, one of the prefects of the congregational studies in Rome; General Trochu, who defended Paris until the sur- render to the Germans in 1871; the Italian minister to China, Signor A.’ Bardi, and George Du Maurier, the artist and novel- ist, author of “Trilby.” In the District. A coroner's jury investigated the fall of the Abert bullding on Pennsylvania avenue during the hurricane of September 20, and after several stormy sessions returned a verdict to the effect that no one was to be held responsible for the collapse of the structure which caused the death of James Fitzgerald, the jury holding that the build- ing was constructed of good material, but declaring that the walls were not properly anchered. The District Commissfoners de- cided to recommend to Congress the aboli- Uon of the oflice of coroner and the substi- tution of the office of medical examiner; the Commissioners also decided to ask Con. «ress for permission to erect a model cre- matory for the disposal of bodies of the pauper dead on-the site of the present pot- ter’s field. Cardinal Satolli left Washington on his way to Rome, having been relieved by Mar. Martinelli, the new papal delegate to the United States. Catholic circles of the District were shaken by the announcement of the deposition of Bishop Keane as rector ef the Catholic University; Thursday night the citizens of Washington, irrespective of denomination, held a meeting and expressed their regret at Bishop Keane's deparcure from this field; Bishop Keane declined the pope’s offer of an archbishopric, and left for a sanitarium in New Mexico. The Pres- ident returned to the city from Gray Gables with his family. Receiver Schoepf of the Maryland and Washington railway applied to the courts for permission to sell $75,000) of receiver's certificate the completion of the road. Judge Cox of the District Su- preme Court decided that a trial by jury before a justice of the peace is not final dis- position of a case. Rey. Dr. M: ay-Smith of St. John’s declined the call to the pas- torate of Trinity Church.

It needs no dull chronology to mark the months that flee; ‘The time's proclaimed about the mart and whispered in the tree. You can tell that it’s October by the with- ered leaves that fly Like terror-stricken sprites across a gray and gloomy sky; By the yellowing fieid that mocks us where the blossoms once were bright; By the timbers as they crackle when the frost comes out at night. You can tell it by the beating of the twig against the pane; F By the flavor of the oyster that is tempting once again. The woodland, with its pageantry of purple and of gold, Heralds the season that is new and ushers out the old. . You're told that it’s October by the sparkle ef an eye; You know it by the quickened tread of every passer-by; But mostly by this solemn fact, which scarifies the soul: It costs six dollars every time you buy a ton of coal. 1.
