4 THE EVENING STAR.| WA>ii WEDNESDAY -December 16, 1896. CROSBY S. NOYES... THE EVENING and pe much more then three dimes as large as that of any other paper, morolag or evening, published in Washing- ton. As a News sud Advertising Medium it t7In order to avoid delays, om ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR xhould not be addressed te any individual connected with the office, but «imp: to THE STAR, or to the ortal or Eo<inesn Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. No Melodrama in the Senate. A number pf newspaper and West have been regaling the:r tera with @ somewhat fanciful accoun: enoa In the nate on opening day. democrats are represent with a most chilling rece men on both sides of General Palmer is re; through the entire day’s session in pathetic isolation. His democratic associates passed by without even a nod of recogilition. Some mere trifle has been magnified to make this picture. It has no substantial basis. The usual greetings were exchanged | in the Senate en opening day. There was no effusiveness. There never is any efft- siveness in that body. Put there was no lack of senatorial dignity or courtesy. No- body suffered for any opinion he enter- tained, or for any part he had taken in the presidential campaign. No “cut direct” was given by anybody to anybody. Sena- tors shook hands very generally, and asked and answered about health and so forth. Nobody showed a dispesition to reopen any feature of the campaign. On Monday last, a week after the opening of the session, Mr. Teller, who had been detained at home, appeared in his seat for first time. His reception by Senators of all parties was very hearty. Those frem whom he parted political company last June showed not the slightest change in their manner toward him. but greeted him S warmly as any of those with whom he since been affiliating. And naturally Mr. Teller is a man of con ed only his privileges last urred to no sound money Sena- tor to undertake to “punish” Mr. Teller by withholding his hand. or g ving him a stony stare. Such a proceeding would not have made Mr. Teller uncomfortable, but the other man ridiculous. The Senate chamber is hardly the place for locating melodramatic yarns. The members are men of years, and experience, and dignity. The scowl, the swagger, and the heat of the stump, find but the rarest among them in dealing with one an- sound money s having met oa by the silver hamber, while i as sitting other. The man whose conduct squares closest to the rules of courtesy and consid- eration finds his best ends served. And living at a distance will best under j stand the Senate and those who compose it by dismissing from their minds any ideas conceived from reading accounts of snub- bings, and sulkings, and all such perform- which may be located there. The the last place in this country ch exhibitions would profit any man anything. pe pS ee Protecting the Game Fish. The propesition of the amateur fishermen Washingtor and vicinity to seine the canal this winter as a means of helping to stock the Potomac with bass is worthy the co-operation of the authorities and public spirited citizens not only of the Dis- trict, but of the states of Maryland, Vir- ginia ond West Virginia, whose shores are hed by the river. The Potomac fs con- sidered by many sportsmen and ichthyolo- gists as cne of the finest fishing streams in the world, and the bass, which normally abounds in its waters, is one of the most desirable of game fish. The country through which the Potomac flows is so formed as to create ideal conditions for the breeding of these fish and for their capture by the methods approved by the true fol- lowers of Walton. At the same time op- portenity is offered for the employment of legal methods and so well has this chance been cuitivated in the past that there is danger that the Potomac will soon be made worthless in this regard. The same trouble has been experienced in the waters below the falls with the shad and only the most stringent provisions of law have resulted averting the danger that once impended at the shad would be entirely driven from these water: The adoption of a closed season law by the states of Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia is now reasonably certain. The co-cperation of these three states on ex- actly similar lines being necessary, the legislatures of Virginia and Maryiand hav> parsed a stringent law conditional upon its passage as well by the West Virginia legisiatu this it is understood is now practically assured. There is still another evil and tbat is the poliutioa of the stream by pulp mills and dye works aiong the up- | ber stretches of the river. This is a menace to human health as well as to the lite of the of is Mish and ought to be easy of abatement. Doubtiess when the fishermen have suc- ceeded im securing a closed season law from all three of the states they will turn their attention to these establishments and cheir svecess in the past in all their under- takings warrants the belief that they will not fali on that ine. ———_>+e—_____ Li Hung Chang ts constantly suffering some slight to his dignities, but, as is the case with one or two American politicians, it seems a very hard matter for him to stay disgraced. _ SO Oo In his efforts to fraternize with labor Mr. Quay will hardly go so far as to take off his gloves and show the audience the callous places on his hands. — English jourralists would be much pleased if Senator Chandler would endeavor to imitate the amfability of Mr. Bayard. ———~+e2—___ Maceo was a great man, but General Weyler goes too far in assuming that he Was the entire Cuban insurrection. +e There are suspicions that Mr. Choate will not find Mr. Platt as easy a subject as the Income tax. —~ee—___ ‘The Kentucky Senatorship. Bradley has put out another signed statement respecting the Kentucky senator- ship. This is the third within a fortnight. ‘The effect of the series is to confuse the matter in the public mind. The question at issue is whether or not he will call the legislature together in extra session to perform among other things the act of choosing a successor to Mr. Black- burn. In the governor's first statement he intimated pretty broadly that no call for an extra session would be issued, but that he would make an appointment after the 4th of March, when Mr. Blackburn's com- mission will expire. This raised quite a stir and evoked some strong protests from lead- ing republicans of national reputation. It was argued that an appointment in such clrevmstances would not be ratified by the Senate. Gov. Pradley then announced that an extra session would be called, but in his own time, and now he argues briefly the right of <ppointment. The record up to date makes it difficult to determine just what the governor will finally decide to do. There is a duty In the premises, however, which appears to be very plain. The repub- licans have a clear majority of the legislu- ture om joint ballot. Mr. Blackburn's term Gov | put the vote to which they are entitled in “on expires cn the 4th of March. An extra session of the new Congress is almost cer- tain to be called, and the republican vote in the Serate even under the most favorable cirermstarces will be but barely enough to do busiress. Every vote on that side wiil be worth to the party its weight in gold. | For the Kentucky republicans therefore to Don’t wait Until the last day to ae your Xmas Candies.

There are some vigorous personal rival ries at work. But that was to be expected. There are some exceedingly strong and at- tractive men among the republican leaders, and the honor not only of being a Sena- tor, but the first republican ever elected to the Senate from the state is naturally very much coveted. But that, in the opinion of the national leaders here, makes it all the more imperative tnat a Senator shouid be chosen. Let one of these strong and cap- re "ana Siete able men be named, so that the state, = which has a good chance to remain repub- sican now, may participate thorough!y in the legislative measures which will lauach the new admimustration.
