4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHiNGTON. MONDAY............November 30, 1896. CROSBY 8S. NOYES.... Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than three times as large as that of ther paper, morning or evening, published in Washing- tom. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. Im order to avoid delays, om ac- count of pers: absence, letters to THE STAR should mot 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. Bimetallism. Senator Chandler’s analysis of the mo- tives influencing citizens to vote for McKin- ley, and his conclusion that bimetallism Was not finally condemned by the recent election will be generally conceded to be accurate. Ordinarily there would be no oc- casion for self-assuring explanations that the election of a President pledged to pro- mote bimetallism by international agree- ment did not mean death to bimetallism. The radical silver men are themselves to blame, if such assurances are not now superfluous. In the campaign which closed on November third they questioned the sin- cerity of the republican pledge to promote an international agreement, scoffed at the idea of the accomplishment of anything by virtue of it, pronourced themselves the only genuine bimetallists, and, so far as they were able, made the fight one to the death between silver and gold. They repudiated the party which had weakened itself by writing every law from which silver had benefited in the last twenty years; they de- rided the promise of that party to do as much for silver in the future as was con- sistent with the public Interest; and they formed a coalition to defeat and destroy that party. The thorough discussion of the financial question which resulted from this assault by the silverites in connection with their desperate fight for independeni free coinage at the arbitrary ratio of 16 to 1 un- questionably converted thousands of repub- licans who had been perfunctory bimetal- lists into single standard gold men, and em- bittered them against the silver party whose course they were and are inclined to denounce as the climax of ingratitude. Nevertheless the large and increasing number of McKinley’s supporters who do not believe in the practicability and desir- ability of bimetallism, even by inter- rational agreement, to whom the platform pledge is displeasing, will undoubtedly con- cede its sincerity and binding force. Only the independent and unlimited free coinage of silver at twice its market value with resulting silver monometallism was spe- cifically and unmistakably repudiated the recent election. As President, McKin- ley must and will use the influence of his great office to promote bimetallism by in- ternational agreement. —>+e—___ Hand W on the Streets. The superintendent of street cleaning has made closer estimates of the cost of hand work, it is announced, and finds that such a process would cost less than he at first figured. He now fixes the expense at thirty cents a thousand yards, as against twenty- four and one-half cents paid for machine sweeping. This shows that the hand work costs practically twenty per cent more than the machine work. The question to be now answered is whether the results ob- tained are twenty per cent more desirable. If the streets can be kept cleaner for a longer period in that proportion the answer would be affirmative. Twenty per cent bet- ter work does not necessarily mean such a degree of additional cleanliness at the time the work is done, for an effective machine appears to do excellent initial work over the greater part of the surface, and the streets are put in reasonably good condi- tion as a rule for the early morning travel. Would hand work at thirty cents a thou- sand yards be possible under conditions of practically continuous service, such as would insure a clean street during the later hours of the day, when a dirty thqrough- fare is most offensive to the largest num- ber of people? In other regards the hand work is undoubtedly superior. It collects and disposes of the dirt without raising suffocating clouds of dust, it sweeps more thoroughly and minutely, and it does not require the same amount of sprinkling, which often serves to create a pasty sur- face over the asphalt that ts dangerous to both man and beast. —____ + +e ____ When Li Hung Chang succeeds in get- ting an audience with the Chinese Em- peror, it will, according to Oriental eti- quette, be his duty to do what he can to strengthen that potentate’s conviction that he is the greatest man on earth. It is a pity that he cannot, in the royal presence, indulge in some of the freedom of comment that made him so interesting a figure here. — 9 It ts said that cne of President Cleve- Jand’s favorite diversions, while he was a lawyer in Buffalo, was playing pinochle. It is safe to warn the President here and now that any ambitions toward making this intellectual diversion supersede the rugged pastime of foot ball among the Princeton students is sure to be vain. —————>+e—____ Mr. Blard has not yet consented to that mirority leadership going to either Ten- nessee or Texas. He will no doubt think that if he was big enough to be voted for as a candidate for the presidential nom- ination he is big enough to lead a hope- less minority in the House. “+e Some of the papers will mention so many Tames in connection with McKinley's cab- inet that when the appointments are made they will be able to say “I told you so.” ————-+ee—____ If there Is too much talk on the subject of taxing beer at the coming session Mr. Tilman may have something to say about making the dispensary system national. —+++___ Mr. Tillman is supposed to be somewhere down in South Carolina. No seismic dis- turbances have been felt in any other part of the country. —_>+e—____ “A Manifestation of Patriotism.” Spain's inhuman treatment of the living in Cuba is an old story. Let us turn for a moment to her treatment of the dead. Lopez Coloma, the insurgent leader in the province of Matanzas, who had surren- dered under a proclamation of amnesty and was entitled to his life, was shot in Havana last Thursday. The published ac- count is from Spanish sources, and repre- sents the Spanish side of the bloody trans- action. But what a chapter of cowardice and flendishness it reveals! ‘To begin with, Coloma is represented as having been executed for “the crimes of rebellion, homicide and horse theft.” Why “horse theft,’ except as an effort to tar his reputation with a dirty stick? He was a man of consequence in his province—must have been to come to recognition as the leader of the insurgents there. When he took the fleld as a soldier he operated as a soldier: mounted his men, and rode against the enemy. And for that, Spain brands him as a murderer and a horse thief, and nails the charge on his coffiz-lid. Then comes the effort to brand him as a coward in the face of death. After stating that, fn accordance with Spanish law and the rites of the Catholic Church, Coloma had remained twenty-four hours in a chapel, the story 3: “He was con- fessed by a priest, received the sacrament, and heard mass, after which he passe the night In an excited frame of mind. He rose in the morning, broken in spirit and terror- ized, looking ghastly like a mummy. Had he been executed that morning it would have been impossible for him to keep up.” The reluctant admission follows, however, that as the day advanced he recovered his spirits, and the particulars show that he died like a man and a soldier. Because while preparing to be shot he cried out “Viva Cuba libre” “several Spaniards showed a disposition to manifest their patriotism by attacking the prisoner.” Note the disposition of the Spaniards present ‘to manifest their patriotism.” A prisoner is on the very eve of death. His hands are bound, and the firing squad con- fronts him. He is as helpless as an infant. He has but a moment, and shouts for his cause. It was @ futile, but a natural, thing in the circumstances. Men so circum- stanced have in all ages of the world and in all countries died so. It is the last salute to cause and comrades. It is pathetic al- ways—except to the Spaniard. It moves him “to a manifestation of patriotism,” and unless restrained he will maltreat the prisoner. Kicking a helpless man is a great “manifestation of patriotism’! Coloma’s only weakness was in surren- dering to General Weyler. When he drew his sword, he should not have sheathed It. He undoubtedly regretted that he did not remain in the field, and if his fate and dy- ing cry for the cause shall nerve his com- rades to fresh exertions he will not have died in vain. ————>+e—____ Valuable Papers in Danger. The sum asked by the Register of Wills for the purpose of making fireproof the vault in which the wills, bonds, etc., filed with him are stored is absurdly insignifi- cant in eccmparison with the value of the Property that will be put beyond danger by its expenditure. It should be granted at the mere suggestion of its necessity, es- pecially as two-thirds of the amount re- quired to give emple protection has al- ready been turned into the treasury as surplus earnings of the register’s office. Nor should the apprcpriation be delayed because of the prospect that a rfew building will sooner or later be erected for muni- cipal and court purposes on the site of that now occupied by the register, espe- cially as that official in his letter to the Attorney General indicates that practically all of the material used in fireproofing the vault and shelves can later be utilized in the new building, involving no loss save the cost of concreting the floor of the vault. —__ e+__ There is no doubt about the arrival of the cold wave. But the sceptics will insist that explanation is due from the weather bu- reau as to whether this is the same cold wave that was predicted nearly a week ago. + «+ ____ In the stories of Thanksgiving dinners nothing is said of General Weyler having devoured General Maceo. It is announced that he has decided to postpone the at- tempt until Christmas. ——-_~+ + According to latest advices Mr. Sherman will either be a Senator from Ohio, Sec- retary of State or Secretary of the Treas- ury. It is curious how things will leak out. ——— Mr. Bryan, it is authoritatively stated, will not immediately use those silver pens presented to him for signing a free colnage bill. It is not the fault of the pens, how- ever. —_~> +e —____ It is intimated that President Cleveland's selection of Princeton as a home is also in the nature of a contemplated campaign of education. —————~++-+____ The poet-laureate’s narrow escape from drowning is not his first experience with cold water. ———>e2—____ Mr. Chandler insists on drawing sharp distinctions between bimetallism and pop- ulism. —— + ee—____ There were only forty men at work today on the city post-office building. ——+ += ____ SHOOTING STARS. The Right Word. “Manager Stagers has some tapital ideas with reference to the drama,” remarked the appreciative man. “Capital?” echoed the cynic. “I should say so. Why, his latest production cost himr ten thousand dollars for costumes alone.” An Expensive Exchange. No more the steeds go ‘round the track. And now the gentle “bookie” laughs. Since he bears forth our cash, alack! While we have but his autographs. Jumping at a Conclusion. “This thing of burning flags must be stopped!” exclaimed the prudent patriot. “There's only one way to accomplish it, that I can see,” replied the man whose mind is always on his own troubles. “And that is to make the coal combine come down in its prices, so that there will no longer be any object in doing it.” The Bitter and the Sweet. Amanda made a picture, once, And let it stand to dry. Her pug dog quaint licked off the paint From foreground and from sky. The pug dog died. But critics sage Came trooping to the spoi. ‘They said as an impressionist Amanda led the lot. A Fellow Feeling. “What makes Skimley attitudinize so much?” “He thinks he’s a great author.” “But he has never had anything printed.” “No. But he thinks of all the celebrated literary men who tried for years without success to get their writings published and feels that he is right in their class.” Pickaninny Jim's Suggestion.
