6 (SSS SS ES THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ‘TUESDAY. -October 27, 1806. CROSBY S. NOYES........... .---Editor. THE EVENING STAR h: ® regular and permanent Family Circulatier. much more than three times as large ae that of any other paper, morning or evening, published in Washing- ton. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7Im order to avoid delnys, om ac- count cf 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, according to tenor or purpose. The True Spi ‘The American people, as a rule, not only love, but demard, fair play. It is one of their most striking characteristics. It Is at the very root of their institutions. With- out it, popular government would be im- possitle. Consequently, communities which exhibit the possession of this principle are the most progressive and the most highly respected. Those which show a lack of it, or only a feeble expression of it, pay a very severe peralty. The town of Covington, Ky., has discov- ered the truth of this. It seemed a light matter there last Thursday night for a herd of hoodlums, fortified for the infamy by a liberal indulgence in mean whisky, to grossly insult ore of the foremost men in the country and a resident of the town; but the ccmmunity has been aroused to a different view of the matter since. It is eager now to record and widely advertise its condemnation as a community of the disgraceful proceeding. It promptly heard the very next day not only from its sister cities and towns throughout the state, but from every section of the country at large, how such conduct is viewed, and it has hastened to disavow it. At other appointments in the state where : he has since spoken, Mr. Carlisle has been most cordially received. He spoke yester- day in the metropolis of the silver sec- tion, and had a fine audience and a mosi respectful hearirg. The better element of the opposition was at pains to see that nothing should occur to bring reproach upon the tewn or the cause there. It was Youbiless glad to join with the sound money men of both parties in preserving order and guaranteeing free speech. May w- not read in this the temper of the country respecting the assaults that have been made in this campaign on the institutions of the country? It seemed a light thing at Chicago to make the Su- preme Court, the credit of the country, and the merit system of government employ, targets for partisan abuse. It seemed a light thing when the campaign first open- ed for reckless spouters to hurl the bad eggs of epithets at men high in office, and to impeach both their private and official ccrduct. But are there not sure sigus that the country is resenting this? Is there not ground for believing that on } vember third the most emphatic protest will be registered against campaigning waged upon a plane so low? Government by party is, of course, a necessity with vs, and party contests call for spirit and directness. But they never call for gress abuse of institutions or those in authority, or for the inciting of men to acts of violence or hypocricy, and whoever induiges in such abuse, or in agitation with violerce us its object, deserves the most stinging rebuke that can be administered. ———~ e2s____ Two Versions of the Situation. The cable dispatches from Constantinople and the information now being sent out from Washington relative to the Turkish situation do not exactly agree. The news direct from the Ottoman capital indicates that < very grave condition of things ex- ists, worse even than has marked the course of events during the past few months. Armenia trembles with appre- hension and the sultan, it is said, is pre- paring te strengthen his military situation by arming the people, threatening a whole- sale massacre of the Christians. The gov- ernment is at the point of bankruptcy and the hand of femine is already upon the land. The failure of the wheat crop in the east has added to ihe cost of food and mat- ters are growing desperate. At the same time it is announced on the other hand that the government of Turkey has notified the powers of his intention to execute the entire program of reforms demanded by the treaty of Berlin and has also taken steps to counteract the public disfavor against Turkey, due, according to the Otto- man point of view, to a lack of knowledge of the conditions surrounding the Armenian troubles. The sultan’s news bureau has keen put to work to explain that the Ar- menians are really his debtors in the mat- ter of mercy and kindliness, and that he is @ much abused Individual, thoroughly mis- understood and anxious only for the hap- Piness of mankind. These views will not be forced easily upon the Christian world. The people of Europe and America may be altogether wrong in their conception of the character of the Turk and of the na- ture of the disturbances in his domain, but the chances are overwhelming that they are not. ———_+ ++ ____ ‘The theatrical managers who are now bidding for Mr. Bryan do not seem to re- alize that if he desires to enter that field the silver interests can give him more for his services as press agent than any dra- matic organization can afford to pay. +e ___ By not naming some of the disputed states which they are sure will go for Mc- Kiniey, the republican managers have prob- ably prevented Mr. Bryan from materially changing his line of march. ——_+ +e _____ Senator Tillman's effort to bring up Ma- son and Dixon's line as a successor in pop- ular interest to the Schomburgk line nas all the symptoms of a flat failure. ———~+ ++ ___ An Educational Center. The New York Tribune, in a well consid- ered editorial, agrees with The Star in its expressed belief that Washington is des- tined to become an important educational centre. It mentions, as The Star had done, the university werk under way and in prospect here, and applauds it, as The Star had also done. Continuing, the Tribune say: “But while Washington is, in many re- spects, an ideal city for institutions of learning, and will doubtless become an edu- cational centre, it will not become the edu- cational centre of this country. Every great American oity is destined, one day or another, to become a cenire of art, education and culture. To talk about Boston or New York or Chicago as the ex- clusive home of any form of activity or thought is evidence of a narrow provincial- ism that no longer has any place in our national life. The nation is too great in population and territory to make any such lcealization of its activities either possible or desirable.” This is true. We have a great country, and education is going on in every part of it and to the glory and benefit of the whole of it. A centralization of such effort would be absolutely impossible, and as absolutely undesirable even if possible. Whatever may be done here or elsewhere, the glories of Harvard and Yale, Dartmouth and Cornell, Princeton and Ann Arbor, and a score of other great institutions, will remain un- dimmed. Their work will continue, and in constantly Increasing size and usefulness. It is at the same time true that Washing- ton possesses advantages peculiarly its own, and certain to enter into the problem with all the more weight the more closely they are examined. It is the capital of the country, and that means much. It is the centre of the political life of the country, and, as the people are the government, the great questions of government may be studied here as at no other point. We are speaking of education in its broad and practical sense. The polishing of a closet philosopher is one thing; the equip- ping of young men for the activities of everyday life is another thing. Let us consider the case of a young man who aspires to a place at the bar. In addi- tion to the usual lecture course, he has the opportunity of listening here to arguments before tne highest court in the land by the leading lawyers of the lard. He may study both their matter and their manner, and profit by both. It is a :nost important “extra,” and free of charge. Nor are these advantages of value only to young men of professional aspirations. The young man of business no less than the young lawyer, the young physician, the young priest or clergyman, the young jour- nalist, will find himself the better prepared for his duties and with a better under- standing of his country, by an acquaint- ance at first hand with life at the coun- try’s capital, and with those who figure as public servants in the conduct of sublic affairs. A complete enumeration of the endow- ments supplied by the government to the cause of education at its capital cannct be made, but even an imperfect list shows the_ tremendous advantage enjoyed by Wash- ington in this particular. In libraries, muse- ums, art collections, laboratories and other scientific workshops, and in such govern- ment institutions as the Smithsonian, Naval Observatory, Fish Commission, Zoological Park and Botanic Gardens an aggregation of facilities is offered which cannot easily be surpassed. The total value of this public educational system, unnamed save by the titles known to appropriation acts, is broad- ly estimated at $30,000,000, and in round numbers the nation pays $4,000,000 annually for its support. The fo.ndations are here fer splendid things In the line of education. Washing- ton is the most beautiful city in the coun- try, and fs the pride of the country. its government is good, and its representative life clean and healthy. Nowhere, indesd, is the intellectual atmosphere more bracing for ‘the ambitious youth, or are the oppor- tunities within easier reach for his full development, than in the city of Washing- ton. —_- +» _____ Sir Julian Pauncefote has declined to be interviewed.

It was worse by far than the dramatist intended or the audience suspected. Just at the noment when his power seem- ed unassailable; when he was in a position to taunt the heroine with unkind remarks about a lover, his face blanched and his step became us tesay His discomfiture was complete. An envious rival had sewed up the pock- ets of his trousers, so that he could not put his thumbs into them when he swag- gered. The poet's lot would happier be If he could sometimes turn "is Attention from the thoughts that burn To firing up the furnace. « The Ruling Passion. “What will Senator Sorghum do if he’s defeated?” “Oh,” replied the rural constituent, “he'll git ready ter run agin’.” “And what course will he pursue if he’s re-elected?” “Same ez usual. He'll git ready ter run agin’. An Indorsement. Farmer Corntossel had made a visit to a penal institution and was telling his wife about it. “"Mandy,” he said, “I'm mighty glad o’ one thing, an’ that is that our boy Josiar plays foot ball. I useter think ’twus a leetle rough. But there ain't nothin’ like outdoor exercise fur givin’ moral tone.” “Whut put yer mind on tu that?” “The trip I jes’ tuk. I looked them con- victs cver, an’ I could tell by their hair thet there wusn’t a single foot ball player in the hull lot.” His Comment. “I always did dislike men who have no ear for music,” said one girl, “and now I dislike them more than ever. Charley Nairgo called to see me yesterday evening. At 11 o'clock I went to the plano.” “And played ‘Home, Sweet Home?’ ” said the other girl. “Yes. First I played ft as a ballad. He didn’t move. Then I played it as a waltz and next as a two step and then as a jig.” “And what did he do?” “He sald, ‘Gracious, Miss Jones, what a Jolly lot of tunes you know! And all of them so differen: Forebodings. Like the snowflakes in November, thet jes’ shine a bit an’ die, Like the fleecy cloud thet lingers on the summer's azure sky, It will vanish inter nothin’ ez the season fades away, ‘This presence so delightful jes’ afore elec- tion day. I will miss the flowin’ language an’ the fine, familiar air Thet made me feel thet folks is free an’ ekil everywhere; A lonesomeness’ll ketch me, an’ I'll vainly wish ter see ‘The man who wus so anxious ter be shak- in’ han’s with me. The old-time frien’s is better’n the new thet ye kin win; The ones thet knowed ye man an’ boy, an’ stuck through thick and thin. It isn’t them ez flatters ye thet rely means ye well, But the feller thet comes at ye weth the solid truth ter tell. Still, it’s nice ter find perliteness, an’ I can't suppress a sigh Ez I see the time allotted ter _campaignin’ slippin’ by; An’ I grieve about the future, when the sunny smiles will flee From the man who wus so anxious ter be shakin’ han's with me.
