6° ' a WASHINGTON. -December 14, 1806. MONDAY... HE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than three times as large <* that of any other paper, morning F evening, published in Washing- fon, As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any Individual connceted with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Garbage Considerations. The public generally hag so little faith in the present system 6f garbage collection and disposal, even under the most favora- ble auspices, that the announcement made recently of the partial dismantling of the crematory at the foot of South Capitol street is not apt to cause any tremor of apprehen- sion or regret. On the other hand, it is more likely that as a rule the citizens will see In this new move a sign of a more propitious future in this regard, for it stands to reason that the sooner the garb- age business is brought squarely down to the basis of total demoralization, to which it is now rapidly tending, the quicker and the better will be the official reaction. In order to push matters to this desirable end the Commissioners would be justified in compelling the contractor to give them an opportunity to decide now the question of whether or not he fs entitled to full com- pensation for his partial service by pre- senting the bill which, it fs reported, he is how purposely withhoiding in the suspected hope that at some future day he may find Commissioners in a lenient mood that will lead them to forget his delinquencies and allow the full amount. Creditors are not ordinarily so backward about demand- ing pay as the contractor now seems to be, Tor are debtors so eager for settlement as the Commissioners should be under all the circumstances. It is understood that the garbage contrac- tor owns or has the use of a large tract of farm land in Maryland sufficiently isolated from habitations to warrant its use as an ideal spot for a garbage disposal plant, and yet near enough to be convenient of ac- cess. He might take inspiration to this end fronf the experience of the contractor for the final disposal of the street waste of Bu ~Pesth. The city pays him about oO a year for this service and Col. Waring, the New York street sweeping commissioner, reports that wh.ie the con- tractor has as yet made no money profit frem his enterprise, he has, nevertheless, been able to turn his contract to account by utilizing the fertilizer, resulting from the treated waste, on the extensive farms owned by him in the vicinity of the city, to the end of making them unusually Irofitable. This, it is to be noted, has been cere with street sweeping waste. Doubt- less a far greater percentage of value could be obtained from the properly treated 2 rbage that belongs to the contractor, and there is reason to assert, In view of the experience of the Buda-Pesth street waste contractor, and of the garbage contractors in such cities as Detroit where reduction plants are successfully operated remote from the city, that the work of collecting and disposing of the garbage in Washing- ton could be done inexpensively and satis- factorily if modern methods of treatment and reduction were employed. ———_++2+—____ “The Inaugural Ball.” The inaugural committee will never be so foolish as to abolish the historic and time- honored “inaugural ball’ and substitute for it merely a public presidential reception on inauguration night in the Library bulld- ing. The latter would be necessarily a ree-for-all affair. The inaugural ball has beom the pecuniary foundation of every essful inaugural celebration, furnishing the means of making the most notable and impressive of displays. The inaugural committee has no intention of taking a stcp which would render our celebration of next fourth of March insignificant and contemptible, compared with recent prede- cessors, from leck of means. The Library building with its beautiful and artistic decorations should be viewed gratuitously and leisurely by every one of the tens of thousands of visitors to Wash- ington In the first week of next March. We should not cover its beauties even with the patriotic bunting, so essential to in- augural display. We should not ask to be permitted to shut out the American people from the enjoyment of it during that week except for certain hours on the night of the 4th when admission may be obtained only for a price. The Library as it stands will be one of Washington's greatest at- tractions to inaugural visitors. It should not be spoiled in respect to its obvious, natural and highest uses by an attempt on our part to utilize it for the purposes of the composite of ball, band concert, and mon- ster reception to which custom has at- tached the name of inaugural ball. The latter will doubtless be conducted with little variation from the usual lines and held im the Pension Office building, which habit has dedicated to this use, and which is admirably constructed for the purpose. —___ + + ___ Mr. Depew is a gentleman of such genial accomplishments that it is doubtful whether even his pronounced liking for this country and its institutions would make him un- acceptable at the Court of St. James. ——_ + +e —___ The insanity experts went into retirement at the close of the Barberi trial in New York. But the question of gas and street railway franchises is making busy times for the dishonesty experts. ————_+ee Hill will be a long time in getting over regarding Mr. Bryan as a man who, without doing anything for himself, played the mischief with other people’ oe The visit of Liltuokalant may give rise to some regrets that Mr. Bayard fs not here to show people just how to act in the pres- ence of ro: sue Mr. Fitzsimmons and Sharkey are demon- strating the fact that the conversation does vot necessarily cease when the fight is over. Next Year. ‘The silver democrats are using a very autocratic tone toward their brethren of the Indianapolis school. Gov. Altgeld in Illinois, Gov. Stone In Missour!, Mr. Cam- pau in Michigan, and the local silver lead- ers throughout the west, are all defiant. ‘They affect to be masters of the situation, aud to dictate terms in all discussion of a reunited democracy. They will not hear to union on any other conditions than a return of the gold men to the fold, with expressions of regret for the past and promises of good behavior for the future. They practically raise a barrier against union. But how long will the barrier stand? These men have their eyes on next year’s local elections, which they believe will go against the party in power. They are counting on the usual reaction which fol- lows a presidential election. The party winning a national race loses, as a rule, the contests of tne succeeding year. A con- tributery cause is the widespread disap- pointment growing out of the distribution of the federal patronage. Those who fall to secure recognition become either luke- warm, or openly antagonistic, and such de- fection becomes an important factor in the next year’s races. ‘The caiculation of these managers is that great disappointments will follow the dis- tribution of the patronage by Mr. McKin- ley. They are persuaded that the rush for office will be unprecedented, and that the large number of places now protected by the civil service law will make it impossi- ble for the new administration to escape unprecedented embarrassments. People who are turned away will seek other affilia- tions, or else sulk in their tents, and in either event the party in opposition with the best organization will profit by the dis- content. The silver democrats are in pos- session of the party machinery, and hence claim that ali men seeking to make their protests against the new order of things most effective will come to them. This calculation, as is plain enough, has spolls as its only basis. Are spoils broad enough to build on in the circumstances that exist? Spoils did not carry the day in November. Men who had only office in view could promise themselves more from Mr. Bryan’s than from Mr. McKinley’s suc- cess. The former openly advocated the re- peal of the civil service law, which would have put all offices to the hazard of a scramble. There must be, in the nature of things, many disappointments growing out of the distribution of the places as matters stand, but nothing to approximate what the silver men are counting on. —___ +++____ Spain's Latest Bluff. Along with their account of General Ma- ceo’s death, the Spaniards are insisting that all Is over with the insurgents now. The cause must soon collapse. General Weyler is to have Pinar del Rio under com- plete control by January Ist, and after that, addressing himself to General Gomez, is to finish the whole Job by spring. This boastfulness is intended to cover two points. First, that the insurgent cause has no stamina; that the killing of one of its leaders disbands all of his immediate fol- lowers. There is no devotion to Cuba, but only devotion to a fighting chief. His death puts an end both to their valor and their patriotism. Second, that the outbreak had its main strength in the blacks. Maceo was a mu- latto. Enlisted under him were many blacks. Therefore, the Spaniards insist, the whole thing was a revolt of blacks, led by a black, not to free Cuba for the better- ment of the island, but to riot in plunder. Maceo is dead, the blacks under him have scattered to hiding places, and the end practically is at hand. The effort on the part of Spain is to in- fluence Congress. There is an impression in both Madrid and Havana that it is only necessary to convince the people of the United States that the blacks are very prominent in the revolt, and would greatly benefit by its success, to cool sympathy over here. So Spain comes forward now, claims that the death of the mulatto chief means the loss of the right arm of the revolt, and that General Gomez doesn’t count at all. The people of the United States do not depend on Spanish sources for their in- formation about Cuba. They have known from the proper sources the value of Gen- eral Maceo and of the blacks enlisted under him. They have rated his talents and courage very high, and they have admired his devotion to the cause. But they have never been led to believe even from those nearest to him that Cuba meant Maceo, and Maceo, Cuba. Great as the loss is, the cause will survive the man. His place will be filled. As for the Spanish assertion that there Proves to be no insurgent force of any size in Pinar del Rio, what has kept General Weyler shut up in Havana for ten months? Why that trocha across the island there, manned by thousands of soldiers, with horses and artillery? Only a few strggling bands of blacks, so poorly organized and so deficient in courage as to go all to pieces upon the death of their chief? The Spanish Statement of the case is a reflection on the Spanish commander and his two hundred thousand men. ——_— + e- —___ There was no increase in the size of the working force at the new city post-office today. Only thirty-two men were employed. —__ ++ —__ SHOOTING STARS. A Hypothetical Conversati “General,” said the officer, “the report that you have made an end of your oppo- nent by violating your truce and poisoning him is being denied.” “Denied! Do they refuse to accept facts for which I am willing to vouch? Who dares put this affront on my -honor?” An Unhappy Medium. And still the weather brings regrets. Away with days like these! Too cold, by far, for violets; Too warm for Christmas trees! The Conventional Costume. “Dah's one ting,” remarked Pickaninny Jim, as he turned over the pages of the picture book, “dat I sut’ny is glad of.” “I reckon yoh's glad Christmas is com- in’,” responded his mother. ‘Yas'm.

One of the children got the wish bone.” “Oh, yes. One takes one end and another takes the opposite, and the one who geis the longest is supposed to get his wish.” “Exactly. And I took occasion then and there to tmpress upon their youthful minds how much in this life depends on having a@ good pull.” The Colonel's Observation. “I'm afraid,” remarked Colonel Stillwell’s friend, “‘that I have a touch of malaria.’ “That's very bad,” replied the colonel, sympathetically. “It's a most disagreeable malady.” “Yes. The only thing that I can possibly think of im favuh of malaria is the fact that whisky 1s considered a good medicine foh it.” A Forlorn Hope. (Respectfully Addressed to the President- elect.)
