THE EVENING STAR h: a rexular and permanent Family Circulatior. uch more than three tim Ia as that of other paper, or evening, published in Washing- ton. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. {71m order to avoid delays, om ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR sh id mot be addressed to any individual connected with the office, simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Join Hands. The steady development of the naval gun foundry plant on the Eastern Branch ts a certain evidence that the government re- gards ft as a permanent institution. Mil- lions of dollars are represented there now, with an increment of value due to the lapse of time and the gradual betterment of the works that cannot be represented accurately in money. Nearly every naval appropriation bill contains some allotment for an extension or an improvement, and the good work being turned out, second to nene in the world, fully justifies the enor- mous expenditure. Yet in one important particular the authorities have been either neglectful or unfortunate, and the time seems to be at hand when they must suc- ceed in doing something if they are to con- ue to realize the best results of past appropriations. -The river on which the havy yard is located must be improved or the day is not far distant when the docks will be practically isolated from the Poto- mac. Mere dredging alone will not suffice. ‘The stream must be treated in the same manner in which the Potomac has been rescued from the swamp-producing sedi- ment. The channels must be restored to their proper width and depth, encroach- ments upon them from in-shore stopped by means of strong retaining walls, and the pestilential flats now left uncovered by the felling tide either wholly removed or else filled to a safe height and gonverted into solid ground that can be utilized some day as a park. The powerful influence of the War Department has been unavailing to persuade Congress to begin this recessary work, the delay of which adds in a tremen- ous ratio to its ultimate cost. The Navy Department has suggested the improve- ment, but not as poir::edly as the urgency of the case demands. Yet no interest is more vitally affected by the unwholesome, unbusinesslike condition of the stream than that of the Navy. It is a common com- plaint that an assignment to duty at the yard is undesirable because of tne maiarial influence of the marshes that bound the community on the south. Across the so- called river, on the heights, stand the build- ingS of the Government Hospital for the Insan*, where the sick lists are continually swelled by the pestilential atmosphere of the Eastern Branch valley. Off to the west is an artillery post, where tne river odors are aided by those from the sewer canal in the work of reducing the efficient force of the army. These alone are sufficient rea- sons why the government should be con- cerned in the project of rescuing the chan- nels from the invading muck brought down by the siream. Bui ii also owes a duty to the thousands of people whose lives are constantly menaced by these unwholesome ecnditions. Let the Navy Department this year, among its reyuisitions for money relaung to the navy yard establishment, supplement ihe recommendations of the Engineer Corps of the Army and ask for a large sum for the improvement of the Waterway in whch it has so great an inter- st The citizens of Washingion are organ- ized for this tight and the Board of Trade will doubtless make a special feature of this necessity in its campaign for the locai weliare. This is not the session for a river and narber bill, but there is nothing in the law to prevent a generous appropriation Leing added to the naval bill or the sundry civil bill for the commencement of this ab- solutely indispensable work. ——_-_~+ e+___ Free Coimage and Farmers. The farmers of Maryland ard Virginia, especially those who live in the counties adjacent to the District and associated commercially with Washington, among Whom are many readers cf The Star, will tind much that is of direct, personal inter- est to them in the article reprinted In The Star today from the Forum under the title “Free Coinage ana Farmers.” The writer who is secretary of the Farmers’ National Congress, and not an emissary of Wall street, clearly shows how closely allied are the interests of the agriculturists and the business men, the manufacturers and other factors in the fabric of society. He demonstrates, too, the fact that on the farmer will fall heavily the burden of dis- tress caused by the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1. The tiller of the soil has nothing to gain from such a measure and much to lose, yet he is the main hope today of the advocates of free €oinage. The words from the Forum should be studied carefully, and as they appeal to the good sense of the reader there is Teason to believe that they will produce geod results. —_—__~+e+_. The finding at this late date of an alleged blood-stained coat, said to have been the property of the late Sydney Randolph, the man accused of the murderous assault on the Buxton family near Gaithersburg last spring, and said to prove that Randolph was guilty of the crime for which he was lynched, is of Uttle weight as a vindica- tion of the lynching. The search for this evidence should have been made with promptness and thoroughness at the time of the commission of the crime. The ac- count given of the place where the coat is said to have been found shows that if a fraction of the energy that was exhibited in hanging Randolph without proof had been expended in searching for proof this al- leged evidence or his guilt would have been easily discovered; and Randolph, if guilty, would have been executed by the law in Vindication of the law, instead of being murdered by lynchers to the injury of the geod name of Maryland and Montgomery County. ———__ e+. Mr. Bryan is said to have entertained histrionic ambitions. Perhaps he will wish he had proceeded on that Iine. A succese- ful acter is likely to enjoy life a great deal more than an unsuccessful politician. —_—+ jurrenderable Principles. In his effort Thursday night in Baltimore to justify his support of the Chicago plat- form, Mr. Gorman quoted from a letter which Mr. Cleveland as a Presidential can- @idate wrote in July, 182, to Mr. Clark Howell of the Atlanta Constitution. The democratic national platform of that year contained propositions to which Mr. How- ell did not assent, but he accented it In the spirit of bowing to the will of the ma- Jority, and In a personal letter so informed Bir. Cleveland. Mr. Cleveland, tn reply, ex- pressed pleasure at receiving the assur- ence, and added some timely and altoge:her praiseworthy sentiments in support of party unity. But does Mr. Gorman serious- ly compare that situation with the present one? Let us note the difference: Mr. Howell was, and is, a protectionist. He was brought up in the Randall school ef economics. The Constitution supported Bir. Randall in the great Pennsylvanian’s contest with Mr. Carlisle over the tariff question. What Mr. Howell objected to in the party platform in 1892 was the free ae nee freer soeeeenpesneaseesgeenemeesscnea reece ene fn een en ——————————EeE—E—E———————E——E—E—E————E—E—E—E—=—=——E—————E—e—E—E—E—eEe—e—————— trade plank. But he did not abject to it on any allegation that free trade if adopted would dishonor the credit of the govern- ment. Nor did any protectionist democrat make such criticism, for it would not lie against the plank in question. The matter was important, and there were radical dif- ferences of opinion between democrats about it, but nobody contended that the honor and eredit of the government were at stake. Mr. Howell, for the sake of party unity, surrendered Lis opinion to that of-| the majority about a question of economic policy. The differences between democrats in this campaign are of another character alto- gether. Those who refuse to support the party platform this year do so on the ex- plicit allegation that it is undemocratic and revolutionary; that it threatens the Aonor and credit of the government; that those who adopted it in convention as dele- gates betrayed their trust. The difficulty is no mere difference of opinion about a question of policy, but extends to views which men entertain about good faith and the public integrity. Mr. Gorman ought to be able to see the difference between the two situations very clearly. He, like Mr. Howell, is a pro- tectionist. He, like Mr. Howell, objected to the free trade plank of the party’s plat- form in 1892, and he, like Mr. Howell, for party unity’s sake, waived his objéctiin and supported the ticket. He returned home that year, was applauded by the Maryland democracy, and led it to victory. | What is the situation which now confronts him? Is there democratic unity in Mary- iand this year? Is his surrender of his convictions on the money question applaud- ed? Is it not rather condemned by many of the best democrats in the state, on the score that a man may net. make. pariy traffic of principles which affect the good name of the republic itself? 2 ———_++e—____. Mr. Carlisle. The address delivered by Secretary Car- lisle at the Treasury Department yesterday to a delegation of Baltimore wage-earners, while very brief, has the merit of absolute clearness, aad shows how greatly the sound money cause must benefit by his approach- ing stumping tour. And not alone in Ken- tucky, through which the tour is to be made, but in all the states where his speeches may be circulated. For if so much can be packed by him into so.small a space, it is easily to be seen how liberal will be his contribution to the campatgn’in an address enabling him to go fully into the financial subject. Mr. Carlisle has drawn a good deal of the fire of the silver men in this campaign. The rattling stump orator, like death, loves a shining mark. Given a change, or an ap- parent change, of base by some eminent man of the opposition, and the most or- cinary speaker seems to ° feel — himself equipped for a centre shot at him. He feels no necessity of proving that the eminent man is wrong in the laier position taken, but contents himself with pointing out that the eminent man once held, or appeared to hold, a different opinion. “ This may be all well enough as a trick of campaigning, but it has no ‘substantial value as an argument. Some men grow, and grow to great proportions. They are on the alert for the truth, and when they find tt they are brave enough to adopt it and apply it, without regard to previous opinions they may have entertained. Mr. Carlisle is vf this school. As a public servant he has had exceptional opportuni- ues for growth, and he has improved them. He {s a man of very great powers, and he has applied chem to a study of great ques- tions. Never since he first appeared in the national field has he been better qualified to Pass upon such questions. So that what the country !s most interested in now from him is not what views he entertained about finance twenty years ago, when no feature of the present situation had been developed, but what his views today are about the situation of to-day. The appointments made for Mr. Carlisle in Kentucky insure his reaching the wage- earners of the state in large numbers. He will speak in the five leading cities, where organized labor is strong. There would ap- Fear to be not the slightest ground for ques- tioning that he will receive a respectful hearing. It would be a reflection, Indeed, on the commonwealth if its most distinguished citizen since the days of Henry Clay should. even in the extreme heat of a spirited cam- paign, meet with any indignity while ad- dressing his old friends and neighbors, ————__++«____— Alexandria County's Latest. ‘The murderous assault committe? last night by an unknown highwayman within a@ short distance of the Aqueduct Bridge in “Dead Man’s Hollow” was no doubt. the work of one of the dangerous char- acters now infesting the region across the river. A highway robbery may, of course. occur anywhere. Men have been “held up” and robbed im the heart of the city, in the parks. on the great thoroughfares, show- ing that solitude and seclusion are ap- parently not essential to the success of} such an enterprise, so no blame can be laid on the locality of last night's affair on this account alone. But “Dead Man's Hol- low” has been the scene of other crimes. The whole river front fromthe Aqueduct Bridge to the Long Bridge is the resort ot thieves, tramps, thugs and gamblers, men without scruple or conscience, almost with- out fear of the law, because, in truth, Alexandria county law is too weak to ter- rerize them. They prey upon each other-as- well as upon their honest neighbors. They make life in that promising suburb danger- ous and uncomfortable, and they have forced the peaceful citizens who have gone across the river in search of homes to of: ganize a protective association that may be likened to a mild form of vigilance eommit- tee. Thus far the residents haye been un- successful in their effort to stamp out the various forms of crime that blot the good repute of the region, for they ‘have had little or no aid from the local officials, wha are in duty bound to protect Iffe and prop- erty in the county. The assault on car- penter McClure last night, however, should stimulate the voluntary peace officers to even greater endeavors. ——+++__—___.

It might be appropriate to have such a dis- cussion continued nightly for a week or two, after the marner of a Chinese drama. It is David B. Hill’s nature to express his opinions in the most direct and uncompro- mising language he can command. He-is now in the pitialffe attitude of a politician who must refrain from talking for fear he will say something. 3 ——__+ +e—.

THE WEEK. The coast was swept by a furious gale early in the week, which caused great de- struction at the summer resorts, drove a Vessel ashore on the Delaware sands and wrecked a number of vessels; ‘Cobb's Island ‘was entirely submerged; the hotel was de- molished; but three buildings were left standing: there was no loss of life. Candi- date Bryan continued his campaign tour, travérsing Minnesota, Wisconsin and Mich- igan. Numerous delegations visited Major McKinley, the republican candidate, at Canton. Registration at Chicago, St. Louis, New York and Brooklyn all showed an immense increase over that of 1804, which fact the republicans claimed was favorable to them. Betting on the result of the pres- {dential election was generally at the odds of 3 to 1 in favor of McKinley's success. The annual report of the third assistant post- master general showed total expenditures of $90,626,298 and receipts of $82,490,208. Mr. Watson mailed to Senator Butler a letter accepting the populist nomination for Vice President. The North Carolina popu- Ust state committee declined the terms Proposed by the democrats for fusion on state, congressional and legislative ticket, and ‘all negotiations were broken, off. Assistant Secretary Curtis of the Treasury Department wrote a letter explaining that national banks do not “raid the treas- ury,” as charged by campaign speakers. The resignation of Surgeon Hamilton of the marine hospital service at Chicago was accepted by the President. Two men stop- ped a Union Pacific raijway passenger train and stole the registered mail bags. An arch in memory of the army correspondents of the civil war was dedicated at Gapland, on. South mountain, in Maryland, with appro- priate exercises. Foreign. Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British ambas- sador to the United States, sailed for New York with final instructions in regard to the Venezuelan boundary dispute, a satis- factory settlemeMt of which is expected within a month or two. Sir Edward Clarke caused a sensation in England by declaring in-@ speech that he believed the decision of the American commission would be against England, and that the evidence could lead to no other conclusion. Mail advices from ‘dmatave, Madagascar, were to the effect that the rebellion was general throughout the island. Lady Scott, charged by her son- in-Jaw, Earl Russell, -vith criminal iibel,was held for trial in London. Further fighting between Spanish soldiers and insurgents in Fhilippine Islands was reported. David Dwight Wells, second secretary of the United States embassy in London, was mar- ried to Miss Marietta Ord of London. A shock resembling an earthquake was felt at-Dumbarton, Scotland. Baron von Ket- teler, late secretary of the German embassy at” Washington, was appointed German minister to Mexico. The gunboat Bancroft arrived at Smyrna. Mr. and Mrs. Cas- tle of San Francisco were held in $150,000 bail in London on the charge of larceny of articles from London shop keepers. The Archbishop of Canterbury, Rev. Dr. Ben- son, died and was buried in the cathedral. In the District. A joint debate on the comage question between Messrs. Henry L. Davis and Stil- son Hutchins at Convention Hall drew ar. Immense throng. The national encamp- ment of the Union Veterans’ Legion at- tracted te this city several hundred ex- soldiers; John P. Donahue of Indianapolis was elected commander; the Ladies’ Aux- iliary of the legion held their annual ses- sion behind closed doors without announc- ing the result of their deliberations. A movement was inaugurated among the stockholders of the Belt and Eckington roads to oppose the application of Receiver Schoepf for permission to issue receivers’ certificates. The resignation of Mr. Sam- uel L. Philltps as president of the Metro- politan Railway Company was accepted by the directors of the road, and Mr. George H. Harries was elected ‘to succeed him. The school trustees finally adopted the vertical system of handwriting for use in the public schools. The general executive beard of the Knights of Labor met in this city. The ninth an- nual meeting of the Woman’s Home Mis- sionary Society of the Methodist Church, Baltimore conference, took place. The High School Cadet battalion was reorgan- ized. The cases against the accused gam- blers in Alexandria county, Va., were dis- missed. George Matthews, accused of the murder of James Irwin at Allen’s Fresh, Md., escaped from the jail at La Plata. Gwynne Tompkins, a well-known sporting man, was shot by John Collins in George— town, jealousy being alieged as the cause. James Smith. colored, was convicted at Marlboro’, Md., and sentenced to death, for the murder of Miss Marguerite Drown at Seat Pleasant, near Washington, July 2X. Simon O'Kane, an old soldier, committed suicide by hanging near Woodside, Md. Thomas McClure, an aged carpenter, living at Ingleside, Va., was assailed by an un- known highwayman near his home and seriously shot. > ODIOOOOS issn flour to mal it ‘bought—or everything we've said of tt te untrue, use ‘Cream Blend”*—an@ they ‘are thousands say, none aa.
