THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than three times as large as that of any other paper, morning or cvening, published in Washing- ton. As a News md Advertisiug Medium it has nv competitor. 7In order to avoid delays, om ac- count of perso: 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 Busin: Depart- ments, according to tenur or purpose. Good Faith. The prompt adoption by the republican senatorial caucus yesterday of Mr. Wol- cott’s resolution looking to the-promotion of bimetallism by means of an international agreement was proper and the praise- worthy thing to do. The effect will be good throughout the country. It is notice served —indisputable proof given—that the party in {ts hour of triumph 1s mindful of the Promises it made to the people when it ap- pealed to them for their support during the Presidential campaign. The St. Louis plat- form has binding force. An honest attempt will be made to live up to it in both letter and spirit. And why not? A party, like an individ- ua!, should keep faith. It cannot afford to play fasi and loose with the people about great public questions. It should not en- gage to do a thing unless it means pre- cisely what it says. Part of the recent dis- content of the people grew out of a feeling more or less prevalent that party platfornis had become mere baits, prepared by phrase jugglers, for catching the eager and the confiding. The sound money cause was materially weakened in portions of the west in the recent contest by the assertion of the free silver men that the republican Promise to try to bring about an interna- tional agreement in silver’s interests would never be redeemed. It was repeatedly charged that that plank of the republican platform was mere humbug, to be cast aside as soon as election day had passed. Among the men of the west who denied this, and gave their word for their party's good faith, was Mr. Wolcott. He faced a tremendous storm at home. He stood up for his party, and assured his people that as it had done everything from which sil- ver had benefited in the past, so might it be depended upon to do what safely could be done for silver in the future. The as- surance did not stay the silver tide in Col- orado, but all the same the stand taken by Mr. Wolcott showed courage and sincerity, and he, therefore, has fully deserved to have his party associates in the Senate promptly make good the thing that during the campaign he “did promise and vow” in the party's name. There may be some effort to belittle this action, and even to misrepresent it. But the intention is good, and the scope en- tirely plain. The republican party, under the promises of the campaign, is committed to bimetallism if that policy can receive international indorsement. The republican Seuators vote to ask a formal discussion of the question by the leading commercial nations of the world. That is the first Step: and the second will, of course, de- pend entirely upon what the reply of those nations may be to the request. ee Inauguration Day Stands. There is merit in the proposal of the Washington architects to improve the ap- pearance of the city at inauguration time by changing the character of the street nds, as outlined elsewhere in today’s of The Star. It certainly seems in- congruous to permit a disfigurement of the parks and thoroughfares at the very time when it is Cesirable that the city should appear at its best, and when thousands of ia are spent in decorations. Not only are the stands usually of a cheap cnaracter and decorated in such a manner that the least moisture makes them unsightly, but many of the parks, reservations and stat- ues are wholly hidden from view by them, thus robbing the city of a large portion of its natural attractiveness to visitors. Many thousands of those who come at inaugura- tion time wish to inspect the national cap- ital as well as to participate in and observe the inaugural ceremonies, and it is due to them that the view of all the features of public interest should be left unobstructed. To be sure, the parks are not in foliage early in Marzn, but at no time do they lose al. their beauty, and there seems to be ample room elsewhere, if properly occupied, to accommodate all who wish to see the Parade. At the very least the practice should be reformed to the extent of abol- ishing the customary stand-boxing about such statues as those of Lafayette and Hancock. The proposition of the architects in its entirety should receive careful con- sderation by the inaugural committee, in- asmuch as it is generally desired to leave undone on this occasion nothing that may contribute in any way toward making the inauguration of President McKinley the most notable on record in all respects and in every detail. —>+e—___ Giving Bad Advice. Aside from the general impropriety of turning a funeral service ‘nto an indigna- tion meeting, the violent and inflammatory talk indulged in yesterday by colored cler- gymen at the burial of Shears, who was shot by a policeman last week, deserves rebuke. There may be some measure of reason in the complaint of the colored peo- ple that they are frequenily discriminated against by the police, but the best remedy to correct the fault does not He in such ef- forts by their leaders, who profess to teach Christian doctrine end te set a Christian example, to arouse the passions of the race and to iticite to manslaughter or mur- der. iss —_++s—____ The President's message hurls vigorous words at the Turk, whom our arm is con- fessedly not long enough to reach; but very mildly and cautiously addresses the Span- iard, who ts close at hand, defacing our natural door-step. —r+o—___ The report of Maceo’s death cannot be regarded as highly important. The verifi- cation Is the only thing that can really amount to much in this connection. ———~ee___ The report comes that Gladstone has lost his voice. There are other voices that could be better spared. —_>+e—____ The Tariff to Cut a Figure. Senator Peffer’s declaration in favor of free trade binds, of course, only himself, and comes in time to forward, and for the purpose of forwarding, his campaign for re-election. But it is likely to serve a broader purpose than that; to call atten- tion afresh, indeed, to populistic teachings and professions on the tariff question. It was considered fortunate for the Bry- anites that they were able to keep the tariff question so much in the background during the recent campaign. They saw their danger. Their candidate's views on tho tariff wcre quite as plain as Mr. Peffer mow makes his. Mr. Bryan ts a free trader—quite as prominent as any man can be in this country. And yet as a candidate for the presidency he was appealing for votes east and west to organized labor, which has always asked, and received at republican hands, the benefits of protec- tion. Wherever the subject was brought up he disposed of it in as few words as Possible. Upon the whole, he handled him- self in the circumstances very cleverly, He .protection, 9, 1896-14 PAGES, could not dery his record, or his economic convictions, but he hustled both to the rear and cried all the louder for free coin- age at 16 to 1. One thjng at a time, was his motto, and silver, he declared, would cure so many of the country’s ills that the tariff question even would lose its import- arice after silver coinage had once more been made free. But the tariff question is coming to the front again, and is likely to remain at the front for some years. The republicans will revise the present law in the interests of and rest upon that. If what they shall do is to be changed at any time it can only be through the agitation of the subject by the opponents of protection, and that will require a fight in the open. In such a contest, where will the great majority of the silver republicans of the west stand? They are for silver, but they are also for protection. Colorado, Mon- tana, Idaho and Wyoming are all vitally interested in protection. Could Mr. Teller and his lieutenants swing their states for free silver if the faet were made entirely plain that the price of free silver would be free trade? Must they even attempt such a thing? They are protecttonists. All of them who were in Corgress at the time voted for the McKinley bill. So far as the populists are concerned, Mr. Peffer lays down no new ground. Free trade has from the first been a plank in thelr platform. Those who came from the democratic camp brought the doctrine aloag with them, while those who came from the repubiican camp had been partly lured from their former associations by the cry that protection was all against the farmers and in favor of the other fellows. Here, then, as many observing politicians believe, is to be found reason for the pre- diction that another such coalition as that which operated in the recent campaign cannot again be formed. Stlver cannot again be made the sole issue. The tariff necessarily will cut a figure next time. The law on the books will be of republican de- visement and cast in a protection mold. The western populists and the southern democrats may unite to fight it, but not the western republicans, who, a little more vigorously now than some of their eastern brethren, are demanding a remedy for some of the inequalities of the Wilson bill. —~e-____ The Spanish admit that Maceo has cross- ed the impassable trocha and claim that he has been killed in Havana proviice, giving details. The admission is undoubted- ly true; and perhaps the claim. But the evident necessity for some offset to the successful movement against the trocha, and the fact that Maceo has so frequently been killed in the past in Spanish dis- patches, will cause the American public to await confirmation of this report of the death of Maceo. The details of the state- ment concerning Maceo are, however, such as to create anxiety among Cuban sym- pathizers. —————+2—___ The proposition that Cuba shall buy her- self from Spain is, judged by the present methods and ideas of civilization an en- Urely legitimate one. And yet there 1s something about it whiciT recalls the condi- tions which led Wendell Philhps to sp2ak and Harriet- Beecher Stowe to write. SS oe The fashionable women in New York have set the example of appearing bare-headed at the theaters. This is glad news for people who are more interested in the drama than in millinery. —++s—___ It seems rather hard for a comparatively new figure in the field ke Dr. Parkhurst to ask an old-timer like Platt to get out of polities. ————_++-—____ Silver is not dead in the Senate, but it has before been observed that everything happens slowly with that august body. ———__ + oe So far the most significant spe2ches in Congress have been made by the chaplains. Only thirty-two men were employed today on the new city post-office building. —___+ += —_____ SHOOTING STARS. “There will doubtless be some skating be- fore the winter is over," said the boy’s father. “I do not wish to deprive you of any of the enjoyments of the season, but I want you to promise me one thing.” “Yes, sir.” “Be careful. Make it a rule to find out just how thick the ice is and keep away if it’s thin.” “I always go farther than that. I make it a rule to find out just how deep the water is, and to keep away unless it's shallow.” Supplanted. Fare you well, chrysanthemum; Knew your time was sure to come. Now, ‘neath Fashion’s kind decree We cultivate the Christmas tree. Peace-MalAng. “I am afraid,” said the irascible father,” thet the hoy feels very unkindly toward me.” “Did you reprove him?” “Yes. And the result is that I haven't seen him for two or three days.” “I guess you could be friends quickly enough, if you would only make some ad- vances.” “Well, I hate to give in, but I suppose I may as well. Hand me my check book, and I'll make an advance of twenty dollars, to start with.” Could Not Understand It. “Do you mean to say,” exclaimed the young man who doesn’t know much about legislation, “that this is the same Congress that we had a Uttle while ago?" “Certainly.” “Come back again?” “To be sure.” Well—that astonishes me.” “What does?” “The idea of that Congress thinking it was so good that it was called on to give an encore.” Unrelenting. I walked with my friend of an earlier time, Whose guidance I strive to heed; — Who checks my spirits that lightly climb In praise of some modern deed. “There are no great men,” he assures me oft, “Like those that we knew of yore; The Senate and stage have completely doffed The glories that once they wore. “The pictures they paint,” says my Mentor grim, “Are patches, devoid of art And the girls are no longer demure and trim Like the girls who ensnared my heart. And the tales we read and the songs: we sing Are reflections of other days; The halos which genius, extinct, may fling O'er posterity’s books and lays.” So I thought to beguile him with other themes Amd I spoke of the light that shone Where the west, aflame with the sun’s last I Proclaimed that the day had flown. Unsmiling, to watch the scene he steod; Its radiance brought no joy. “It’s fair,” said he} “but it’s not as good As they gave us when I was a boy.” BR, ECZEMA, one etter and al other iordieg of the” eed a ah ne ctmtne om one Soli-w.tm.ty e J.
