THE EVENING STAR has « renular end permanent Family Circulation much more than three times as large her paper, morning or evening, published in Washing- tom. As a News and Advertising Medium it hus no competitor. Im order to avoid delays, on ac- eount of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual commeeted with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Rapid Transit Endeavors. In his recent interview in The Star rela- tive to local legislation Senator McMillan said that the courts seemed to be Bandling the question of rapid transit for the Eck- ington and Belt roads, and intimated that this took the subject‘ out of the jurisdic- tion of the District. committees in Congress. Judge Cox's decision yesterday removes from the case whatever degree of -difficulty might have existed on this Score to pre- vent at least an inquiry by ‘into this subject a subcommittee of one of the District s. Not that legislation would in- ult from such an investigation into the facts, but it might serve as a spur to the energies of those having control of the roads in the matter of providing rapid transit. As far as Congress. is concerned, the case is somewhat peculiar. Strictly speaking, tnat body has taken the subject out of its own purview by. passing. an act that imposes a series of obligations and sets a time for the!r performatice that will not expire for a trifle more than a year; hence, it may pe argued, Congress will not appropriately act further in the-matter un- til all the conditions both as to performance and as to time have been covered. On the other hand it is claimed that the first con- dition of the act has been violated by the failure to make any experiment whatsoever with compressed air as a motive power, and that it is appropriate for Congress to take note of that fact ard to act upon It. Cer- tainly there is no bar to an inquiry for the information of the members of the com- mittees. Public, sentiment is strong in faver of any method that may hasten the final instalfaticn of an unobjectionable rapid iransit system on the roads. Further legislation is not necessary to accomplish stch a result, providing a genuine desire to accommodate the public and meet the evident intention of Congress in the mat- ter exists on the part of the men actually in contrel of the properties. ——_+++ A Triumph of Diplom When the agreement with England in re- spect to Venezuela was first announced it was generally believed tPat the Americar Secretary of State had scored a great vic tory, but it seemed wise to wait until details of the understanding were better known before attempting to make proper ac- knowledgment of Mr. Olney’s services. It is now certain that in no material point has he withdrawn from the position whic’ he originally assumed in the controvers: and that he has succeeded not only in se- curing for Venezuela the practically un- limited arbitration for which she clamored, but in obtaining full recognition from Eng- land for the Monroe Doctrine, as construed by the United States. Doubtless it would have been comparatively easy at any time during at least two decades to secure from Srgland an acknowledgment of the torce of Monroeism, providing England were per- mitted to dictate certain accompaniments of the doctrine that would burden this government with annoying and dangerous obligations. But to persuade England to accept Monroeism, broadened into the American doctrine by the chaages incident to the lapse of time since its enunciation, without the condition of a virtual conti- nental protectorate by the republic seemed an unattainable end. Secretary Olney has accomplished this result without prejudice or disadvantage. He has been both bold and shrewd, and has won the most notable diplomatic triumph of recent history. The victory is of that satisfactory sort which honors both winner and loser. England s not at all in credit from the gains s regard of the American adminis +02 —__ The Randolph Lynching. The Montgomery county grand jury has adjourned without reaching any satisf: tory conclusion with regard to the lynch- ing of Sydney Randolph in June, which Was most impressively called to its atten- tion by Judge Henderson early in the month. ‘here is no assurance given, save in the mere formal verbiage of the report, that the investigation into the affair was thorough and doubt reezonably settles on the earnestness with which the inquiry was conducted when the jury takes pains to declare a firm beef in Randolph's guilt. Judge Henderson expressly called attention to the fact that the guilt or mnocence of the lynchers’ victum was immaterial. In ris charge to the jury Judge Henderson also xave warning that if an honest, thor- ough investigation were not made at this time he would present the case to succeed- ing grand juries unui one was found capabl- of ascertaining the truth and bring- ing the guilty parties to book. ‘the Judge's iuture course will indicate. what: view he takes of ihe character ef the inquiry con- ducted by the present grand jury. tee - Col. Fred. Grant's frank admission that he weuld like to be in the cabinet does him erecit as a man of unrestramed candor. Whis quality would net be a uisadvantage to dim as Secretary of War, although it might have i assments if he should hap- pen to land im che State Department. ———_~ e=—. Mr. Hanna appears to be about the only iean in the country who is uot worrying more or less about whether Major McKin- Sy's campaign manager will get a cabinet pesition. tee Senator Jones will, as he carves his tur- key next Thursday, endeavor to be de- voutly thenktul that it was net any worse. —_—_—_ +e = Figaro’. Warning. The Paris Figaro throws out gently the following admomtion: ‘The American newspapers which are eggins (ne United States io war with Spain shouia reflect that war with Spain means War wiin Europe, and in the interest of the United States itseif it is to be hoped that this eventwally will net avise.” Whether Figaro speaks as a lover of peace, or with thought only of the Cuban bonds held in France, is not certain. Eut that it speaks without mformation, and foolishly, is certain. No ‘representative American newspapers “are egging the United States to war with Spain.” Every truly representative American newspaper sympathizes with Cuba in her effort to be free, and would be glad to see this gov- ernment exercise good offices to that end, but that is net advocacy of war with Spain. If Figaro did but know, the United States has both a well authorized sentimental, and a well authorized political, interest in this Cuban matter. Why should not the United States sympathize with a valiant people who take the field against over- whelming odds in a struggle for freedom? Does Figaro speak for France? If so, why dces not France sympathize with those people? A lack of sympathy, rather than an abundance of sympathy, in @ free peo- ple for a people fighting to be free cclis for explanation. Lafayette, if living, might offer his sword to Gen. Gomez. Figaro lends its pen to Gen. Weyler. Is the swerd more patriotic than the per iff republican France? The United States wants peace and prog- ress in Cuba for. a purely practical reagon. as well. Its trade with Cuba is large; its proximity to the island close. If Cuba suf- fers in its business, the United States suffers also. If Cuba, ravaged by war and swarming with sokifers unused to the climate, becomes a seat of pestilence, the, pestilence easily spreads to these shores and all of our lower coast line is siable to be infected. Are these matters of no mo- ment here? Should Spain be aliowed to establish and maintain a nuisance at our very doors? If she were aa. individual, would she not be required to keep her premises in order and keep the peace?» An individual is not permitted to govern his household in a way to make him intoler- able as a neighbor. Then why should a nation be permitted to. go so far in the government of a colony? There is not a power im “Europe, ‘which. 4 in like circumstances would have been cs patient with another as the United States has been with Spain. patience exhibited over here by the Chief Executive that is responsible for the light in which the attitude of the United States is read abroad. When patience ceases to be a virtue it becomes one of the nicst” reprehensible things in the world. ——___+ + +_____ Practien] Administration. Secretary Morton calls attention in his annual report to the greater efficiency of the clerical force in his department-under the civil service law than.under the old system of political appointments, and his observation receives ample verification in the statistics of expenditures and savings during the fiscal year. Civil service re- form is merely the application to the goy- ernmental work of the principles underly- ing the conduct of private business. The selection of the most efficient clerks fer. the performance of specific duties, their reten- tlon in office after they have become fa- millar with their work, thelr advancement according to their merits, and the rear- rangement of offices to secure a maximum of results at the least expenditure without doing injustice—these are the methods in vogue in well-conducted — commercial houses, and their success is a mere matter of administration. Secretary Morton has demonstrated that the economy that results in business from such a system can be en- Joyed by the government without a loss of efficiency but rather with an increase in the quantity and quality of the work done. The “basis of solid usefulness’ on which he has striven to establish the civil service of his department is the best and the most enduring that can be secured, for, as he says, “the functions of the department have little or no relation to political policies or expedients.” The. argument for the maintenance and extension of the civil ser- vice system contained in this report should have great weight with the taxpayers in every part of the country and through them with the legislators. ——— The prospect that the Interior Depart- ment clerks may not be paid off before Thanksgiving. suggested in a communica- tion published elsewhere today, is discour- aging to those employes who have usually in the past been thus «ccommodated by the departmental authorities. If it is a mere matter of the convenience of disbursing officers this privilege should not be with- drawn. The o-casions for such breaks in the routine of payments are so infrequent tnat they can suPely be tolerated for the sake of the pleasure and comfort that they afford to many thousands. ——_ ++ —__ General Weyler was unfortunate early prcclamations. While he is doing very well to keep out of the hands of the irsurgents, it must be confessed thai his performance does not carry out the prom- ises of his advance rotice: - soe Mr. Bryan will, of course, find no fault with the fact that every dollar he is paid for his services as a lecturer is wortn one ur dred cents. ——__ eo SHOOTING STARS. in his A Matter for the Fature. “Yes,” remarked the proud father whose tastes are musical, “he’s the finest baby the neighborhood has ever seen. 1 don’t rely cn my own prejudiced opinion in making | 4 the statement. thing.” “Are you going to make a musician of him?” “Oh, that. My wife says the same it's altogether too early to decide His hair hasn’t begun to grow yet.” A Cherished Habit. Quoth the sultan, “'tis utterly useless, “This pouting and coaxing and storming; My offenses to stop Would compel me to drop My favorite pastime—reforming."* As He Summarized Ht. “There's only two real parties,” said the man who refuses to believe that the free silver agitation is over for good. “The old political lines are all gone ter smesh.” “You mean, I suppose, to reiterate your familiar claim that the bankers are ar- rayed against the farmers.” , “Thet’s it exactly. It's the ol’ question of which kind of whiskers is a-goin’ ter git the best of it; side or chin.” Christmas Signs. Even now they're incessantly dropping The old hints so well. understood; Fair ladies are bent upon shopping And Johnny begins to be good. The Colonel's Resolution. “Yes, suh,” remarked Colonel Stillwell, ‘I've determined to quit politics fohevuh.” “You don't mean to say that you would not respond to your country’s call!” “If my country needs me, my country has my address, suh. But I am not going to devote myself to the puhsuit of illusions. It’s my candid opinion, suh, that if a good many mo’ had put the same amount of energy iuto running a grocery sto’ as they put into running fo’ office, they'd have been a good deal mo’ in demand when’ the cam- paign gets under way and the committee foh the collection of a campaign fund has settled down to sho’-enough work.” A November Bliss. Notwitastanding frosts that threaten and the winds that whistle drear, ‘There's a certain thrill of pleasure in’ the present time of year; A vindictive satisfaction which illuminates the hour, And brings us resignation as we view the |-2 withered flower. “Tis the quiet exultation that the foot-ball player feels, ; Whose ills are slight compared to those the enemy reveals.
