TREN EVENING, STAR, ‘TUESDAY, DECEMBER - 15, 1896—16 - PAGES. THE a NING STAR. SHINGT oO? N. Tt aore December 15, 1896, <acens Ss. NO and permanent Family Circulation much more than three times as large as that of any other paper, morning published in Washing- nd Advertising Medium it has no competitor. @7lm order to avold delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed dual connected with the of Office. Nothing occurred during Mr. Hanna‘s stay in Washington that threw any lght on the rumors connecting his name with the Treasury portfolio. The idea that he might succeed Mr. Carlisle was based on nis Jarge capacity as a man of business, ard his intimacy with the President-elect. It has been urged, however, that Mr. Hanna would be able to render his chief and his party a more important service out of office than in office. A special post, it is urged by those who take this view, would pin Mr. Hanna down to the duties of that post. He would have no time left for anything else. And especially would this be true im the case of the Treasury epurtment, where for the coming four years at least the chief executive officer will have his hands full. The putting into execution of a new tariff law, and very probably of a new currency law of some kind, will be an arduous task in itself. And these who hold that Mr. Hanna should be free-handed find their opinion engthened by the expressed determina- tion of the silver men to keep up the fight for free coinage. This, it is insisted, calls for the keeping up of the fight on the sound side—at least for a very watchful of the situation right along—and Mr. Hanna is thought to be survey for such duty well qualified The democratic tinued campaign is to be con- by those most familiar with the s organization. Senator Jones of Ar- kansas will be in charge of the work. His official duties In the Senate will not take up all of his time. He will be chosen to succeed himself as Senator without an ef- fort on his part, and as a member of the minority in the Senate he will not be over- taxed with work there. The proposition in effect, therefore, is to match Mr. Hanna agairst Mr. Jones for a continuation of the work they respectively conducted prior to the:3d of November. +e —___ Metropolitan Hysteria. There is something unwholesome in the furore that New York is making over the Italian girl who was last week acquitted on her second trial for the killing of her lover. In a city where crime of this kind is commen enough to pass ordinarily with- out attention, Marie Barberi’s case pos- sessed no especial features worthy of un- usual comment, save that there was a geu- eral belief that her first trial was unfair and her conviction led to the prospect of the execution of a woman by electricity for the first time in the history of the state. Something in the situation appealed to the hysterical element that is always present in such a great population as that of New York, with the result that the case was taken up by the people, so to speak, and the heavy expenses of an appeal and « sec- ond trial, with the most exhaustive expert evidence. were paid by popular subscrip- tions. The records of the criminal courts of the metropolis are filled with instances of homicide corresponding almost exactly with this one, including the plea of in- sanity and the demonstration of abnormal mental conditions; yet for some peculiar reason on the first trial, even, the case at- tracted unusual attention, and on the sec- ond hearing the public excitement over the matter was practically boundless. Now that the girl has been acquitted, she has become almost an idol of the morbid- minded, the curious and the hysterically sentimental. Her daily life is reproduced with minute detail belonging to the most exalted state of royalty, and she is aver- whelmed with lavish attentions almost to a disgusting degree. Marie Barberi killed @ man, and she was excused only by an extremely generous interpretation of her pe © mentality as exhibiting a phase of emotional insanity. Her acquittal may not have any serious bad effects of itself, but her elevation into the position of notoriety given her since her acquittal can only re- sul rmfully. see Temporary Tracks. The railroad companies whose lines termi- Pate in Washington are now knocking at the doors of Congress for favors. They Want the privilege of laying extra tracks and silings for the storing of trains during the Inauguration rush and through the Commissioners they are asking for legisla- tion. They will probably get it, for experi- ence has shown that the present trackage of the roads Is utterly inadequate for handling the crowds that pour into the al from all sectiors. It is not that the crowds are so great that with modern terminal facilities here the companies could not manage their accommodation. With arything approaching a decent terminal! equipment there would be no trouble what- ever, but it so happens that the roads run- ning into Washington are notoriously lack- ing in the terminal features that are demanded from first-class transportation companies by the size and importance of Through repeated neglect of op- Pertunities the companies periodically, in times of great emergency, find themselves lacking In the very facilities that would be theirs if they had but followed the rea- Sonable plans of terminal improvement adv by citizens and the authorities. —+ + ___ ‘The purchase of The Washington Times by Mr. Stilson Hutchins is announced in another column. Mr. Hutchins since he sold the Post has distinguished himself as an able business man and a brilliant public speaker, with fine capacities for political life. but he has evidently had a strong hankering all the time for his old pursuit of Journalism. The Star cordially welcomes him back to the Washington newspaper field. veater ———++e—____ Unless the boy King of Spain is of a heed- lessly happy disposition, there is a great deal to prevent him from having a merry Christmas this year. —++e—___ In comparing Mr. Bryan with Webster end Clay, Mr. Allen did not go so far us to dwell on the fact that neither of them ever became President. —+ e.—__ Joseph H. Choate. Joseph H. Choate of New York has sud- denly come into prominent political notice. He is about sixty years old, and has spent bis fe in the practice of the law. He is the recognized leader of the New York bar. He seems never to have cared for political Office. Now, however, he is mentioned for two of the foremost places: for the seat in the Senate now occupied by Mr. Hill, and for the Premiership of the McKinley ad- ministration. At the request of friends, he announces himself a candidate for the Senate. His chances of success may not be good. He ts not @ Platt man, and it is difficult to see how any other than a Platt man ean hope for anything at the hands of the incoming New York legislature. The general im- pression is that Mr. Platt himself will take the senatorship. He and Mr. Hill bave had a twelve years’ duel in New York, with many points to the good for Mr. Hill, and the temptation therefore will be great for Mr. Platt, who has at last brought his an- tagonist under, to step into is shoes. But discussion of Mr. Choate for the one place may serve to call attention to his talents, and thereby describe his equipment for the other. Mr. Hill's successor will be ekcsen early in January, and nothing defi- nite about the cabinet is expectedt for weeks after that. Although so pfominent as a lawyer, Mr. Choate fs not widely known in political cir- cles. He needs something of an introduc- tion there. His friends think very highly of his talents, and believe-he is the very man to succeed Mr. Olney in the State De- partment. The one suggestion against the selection of Mr. Choate is that no President has ever put a man unknown in politics into the State Department. Mr. Olney's case prob- ably comes nearest to being an exception 6 the rule. 2 _____ Smashing Records. Record-breaking in athletic sports con- Unues so steadily that the question of when and where the process will end becomes of marked frfterest. Seldom do new achteve- ments exceed those of the past so greatly as did the results of the six-day bicycle race that closed Saturday night in New York, in which the record was not only set aside, but over-topped by over 300 milas, or nearly 20 per cent, and the best previous accomplishment in this line was bettered by twelve men, including the man who held the record. Ordinarily these fresh records are but a small fraction higher, and thus the development of the perfect athlete in this race against time and space oes on gradually. To make a jump of 20 per cent in three years, therefore, under practically similar general conditions, is a significant event. It means that there has been an equivalent improvement in bicycley in the interim, or a propgrtionate better- ment in the methods of training, or both. That the achievement is not due wholly to the human conditions seems demon- strated by the fact that a majority of the men who finished the race went ahead cf the record. The answer to the conundruin presented by the result is probably to be found not only in,the improvement in the machines, which are being steadily per- fected, but also in their gradual cheapening in price, which brings a rapidly increasing number of men within reach of the ckance to ride. Perhaps, too, there is in progress a steady development of physical conditions keeping pace with the introdue:ion and use of the wheel and giving tangible evidence of the promised evolution of a fast pedal- ing generation. — + ___ Modern Crusading. Evidence accumulates that the crusading spirit of mankind ts not extinct. The latest demonstration of its existence is presented by the proposition just made by certain citizens in Colorado to organize an Ameri- can army to ald the Cubans in their strug- gle for independence. Contemptuous of the ordinary conveniences of travel, the pro- jectors of the scheme plan to march the band of volunteers across country, with the notion that they will attract other would-be fighters, but apparently forgetting that a mid-winter march of fifteen hundred er two thousand miles is a serious undertaking. Coxey’s experience ever. in the spring was enough to dishearten sny leader. On the heels of the Denver idea comes an an- rouncement from Chicago that Wong Chin Foo, a Celestial agitator, is preparing to draw upor this same spirit to organize an army of five thousand “fighting Irishmen” to help nim free China and establish a republic. As an incentive to the Irishmen he agrees thdt as soon as the little job he has first In mind is turned off he will send 50,000 ‘fighting Chinamen” to free Ireland. This is something unique in the way of reciprocity in crusading. —___ + + = _—__ President Cleveland said that the length of his duck-shooting trip would depend on the need of him in Washington. Consicter- ing the importance which many people at- tach to the Cuban discussion the President seems to be an over-modest man. —___+« + _____ Mr. Choate was fined a dollar for driving with unlit lamps. The amount was too trivial to justify the trouble it would have taken to demonstrate that the law under which the fine was imposed was uncon- stitutienal. —_— +0 —___ The statement that Maj. McKinley is go- ing from Canton to Chicago in order to find rest will strike some of the energetic citizens of the western metropolis as slight- ly humorous. ——___ +92 It is unkind of Mr. Hanna to seek to de- prive the pension office of its one favorable architectural distinction; that of being well adapted to the purposes of an inaugural’ ball. 2-2» —_____ The same small force of only thirty-two men was all that was employed today on the new city post office building. ——_~o 0» —___ SHOOTING STARS.

It’s her future that bothers us. We found her the other day trying to put her foot in her mouth, and we're afraid she’s going to grow up to be a ballet dancer.” Very Objectionable. “I's glad o’ one t'ing,” remarked the ter- ror of Jackson City. “Whut yoh glad about?” “T's glad dishere button fad is done gone.” ‘Yoh didn’ hafter w'ah no buttons.” “I knows J didn’. "Twas de buttons de udder man wo’ dat made de mischief. Dey done nicked mer razor.” Inconsiderate. “I dreamt I dwelt in marble halls,” She sings the whole night through; She never seems to think that we Would like to dream some, too. A Dangerous Doctrine. “All men,” said the orator who refuses to quit stump-speaking, “are born equal!” “Hold on!" exclaimed the listener. “That may do to say on the sidewalk, but I can't take it home with me. If I were to let on to my wife that I thought our boy whom we've just christened Egbert wasn’t any better than the red-haired twins next door there wouldn't be anything left for me to do except to say ‘farewell forever’ and live at a hotel.” ~ 3 ‘The Congressmen. We can smile at all the sneers That the mockers idly fling, For we know that we will have our vindication, And the bards of aftér years In our praise will loudly sing, And proclaim us benefactors of the nation.
