THE EVENING STAR has a regular end permanent Family Circulatior. much more thun three times as large as that of any other paper, morning or evening, published in Washing- tom. As a News and Advertising Medium it hus no competitor. 71m 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, ac “ling to tenor or purpose. Populist or Democrat? The address of the populist executive committee, stripped of campaign buncombe, is a vote of confidence in Mr. Bryan as a popu t. It bears no other practical mean- ing. Populists are urged to put aside any shortcomings of the democratic party, to forget any selfishness exhibited by that party in the matter of fusions, consum- mated or attempted, and consider that their duty as populists and patriots calls for them to go to the polls and vote for Mr. Bryan. What effect this indorsement will have on the more or less disgruntled populist party remains to be seen. It may secure votes for Mr. Bryan. It may turn the scale where the populist balance is nice and needs to be tipped one way or the other. But if it adds to Mr. Bryan's strength with wavering populists, may it not have the op- posite effect on wave democrats? The dispatches daily give account of democrats here and there who are just seeing their way clear to reject the Chi- cago ticket. They are men who have been pondering the question ever since the ticket was put up. They have been hesitating about accepting it purely on the grounds of “regularity.” Their objection to it has been based on the populistic leanings and alignments of Mr. Bryan. How many m waverers remain? And how much long>r will they continue to waver, now that the populists formally have again put the seal of their approval on the head of the Chi- cago ticke Mr. Bryan’s danger as candidate would be Mr. Bryan's difficulty as President. Both populists and democrats would be claiming him, as both are claiming him now. He would be the victim of a divided duty. If he should come out in full popu- list colors, as the populists would expect and demand, he would lose a large portion of his democratic support, and vice versa. If he should attempt to play between the two camps, throwing sops first to one and then to the other, he would repeat the fail ure now recorded in these cases of fusion, and bring down upon his head the maledic- of both. ‘The ardent partisan only ally more aggressive and able than one who has got aothing. A little patronage, like a taste of blood, whets the appetite for more. Mr. Watson gets no comfort. He prob- ably was not expecting any. He charges grave mismanagement on the part of many of the populist leaders, and a review of the ticns field seems to warrant fully the accusation. — 0 District Est The District assessor estimates that the aggregate local revenues for the year end- ing June 30, 1898, will be $3,359,S58.83, as against $2,973,790.76 last vear, an increase of $556,058.07, due to the natural increase in the amount of taxable property, owing to the steady extension of building op. tions. These estimates are the basis of the annual appropriations, which should keep pace with the ability of the District to con- tribute to the joint fund created by the act of 1875. It is the common experience, however, of the citizens who help to swell the total by their taxes that they are not permitted to reap a commensurate reward m the form of proper improvements for which there is a constantly pressing need and demand. The District committees us- ually realize the urgency of the appeals made to allow the District to utilize its en- tire revenues in sensible betterments and were the budgets left to the adjustment of these bodies there would probably be much less of the annual complaint of un- 1 congressional parsimony that is so well founded. —____+-e2—_____ A Welcome to the Veterans. Washington gladly welcomes the repre- sentatives of the Union Veteran Legion; the freedom of the city is theirs. In the ccurse of years this community extends greeting to many organizations and indi- viduals, but of the countless visitors none outranks the veteran who placed his life, his fortune and his honor at the disposal of his country; who fought that the Union might be preserved and that this should be the capital of the greatest of republics. We are peaceful people who appreciate the fact that peace may frequently be achieved only through the horrors of war. We, therefore, gladly do honor to those men who contributed ali that could be asked of them in the hour when the nation’s distress was greatest. All of the pleasure is noz, however, ours. The visiting veterans are undoubtedly gratified at being here, even if their stay is but brief. They see, on every hand, results which are directly and y Tue to their patriotic valor, and ‘oud of the beautiful city, which, . represents the Union in minia- and typifies the republic for whose fought. —— ture, preservation they Before getting any further into the dis- pute as to who shall be recognized as the Burchard of the McKinley campaign, it might be just as well to wait and see whether there is going to be any Burchard or not. soe Possibly the ocean's little visit to Coney Island was intended to refute assertions to the effect that the “1 lis” have entirely ceased to v a ee Mr. Platt and Mr. Hill both condescend now and then to say a kind word in behalf of the nominees of their respective parties. heavy it the place. Mr. Watson is still in the middle of the road, but a = way back. ——— — IMnois, If it is true, as reported, that Gov. Alt- geld’s hope of carrying Lilinois for silver is in his ability to stampede Chicago and Cook county during the closing days of the campaign. that state may be counted as lost to Mr. Bryan. No such performan ig possible in the light cf a wide advertise- ment. The possibilities of hurrah are lim- ited. Gov. Altgeld in dealing with the Chicago public cannot hope successfully to copy Mr. Bryan in dealing with the Chicago conven- tion. The Chicago convention was stam- peded. No clearer case of the kind is to be adduced. But it was not a matter of con- trivance, and therefore not a matier cf previous advertisement. There is some partisan fiction afloat to the effect that Mr. Bryan carefully laid all of his plans and contidently felt that he would win, but it is easily to be seen that if he had even hinted in advance that he was going to sweep the convention off of its feet by a brilliant address he could not Pave done so. Even the address which accomplished that result would have failed if it had been a feature ot a well understood program and billed to be a@ nomination maker. The convention was not expecting to be carried away, and hence was the easy slave of a capital plece of popular oratory. The element of surprise enters largely into a stampede. Is a surprise at all likely in Chicago in this fight? Both sides are on guard. The great town is picketted like a camp. It is a camp, to all intents and pur- peses. How then, with General-in-Chief Hanna on hand and apprised ef the enemy's intentions, shall Gov. Altgeld go about stampeding the republicans? Much of course is expected of Mr. Bryan himself. He is to return to Chicago and devote several days to speaking. But he cannot reasonably be expected to be the great card there that he was at first. The people are not as curious about him as they have been. They have seen him and heard him, and some of the novelty of having a presidential candidate in town has ‘worn eff. This next will be his third visit since he was nominated. On the previous occa- sions he was fresh and strong of voice. Now he is hearse and worn, and reports go to show that the carrying power of his fine voice is much impaired. “No more stampeding orations, therefore, are prob- able from him. if Mr. Hanna and his lieutenants have the game in Illinois in their hands at this time they are very likely to hold tt. The racket of the next three weeks is certain to be terrific, but there Is no reason why any experienced politician should lose his head and suffer himself to be overreached, —> ¢=—_____ The Rules of the Road.” Riders and drivers of all kinds who make use of the highways of the District of Columbia cught to pay attention “to ‘the criticisms recorded by the hack inspector in the annual report he has just made to the superintendent of police; the criticisms which are directed at those persons—mainly, clists of the scorcher variety—who in- sist upon turning corners too sharply, who: pass other riders or drivers on the wrong side and who apparently give no heed tu the wholesome regulatiors which have been framed for the equitable government of traffic on the public streets. Cyclists are not, however, the only sinners, and this is recognized by the inspector.. But what are the authorities going to do about it’ Somewhere in the misty past 1s a legend which has it that a man was once arrested in this city for driving on the wrong side cf the street. The memory of what was done to trat surprised misdemeanant has faded away entirely. Might it not be a good thing for the police to make examples of some of the willful and careless? The rules of the road are few in number and devoid of complicating and confusing terms. The law ought to be enforced. ero Punishing Lynchers. A few more sentences like those imposed yesterday on a couple of Alabama lynchers might go far toward solving the trouble- some problem of how to suppress this form of lawlessress. These men participated in a lynching four years ago, but have just been tried and convicted. The court sen- tenced them to Imprisonment for life, and this penalty will probably be hereafter zdopted in the state as the proper punish- ment of these volunteer executioners. The race question did rot enter into the case, for #ll the parties were white. It was possible to consider the offense as-murder and to impose the death penalty, for the line between lynching and the great capi- tal crime ts too fine to be considered when the public safety, so seriously menaced by the application of lynch law, is In jeop- ardy. Yet much has been accomplished by this conviction, and the enemies of the lynching system—for it has grown into such propertions as to begin to deserve that name—should take heart, and labor with more determination than ever to root out the evil. ge an The McKinley demonstrations in Chicago make it look as if Altgeld is going to have some difficulty in delivering the vote of Illinois as advertised. ——— see Canada has adopted cur Thanksgiving Day.
