As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competi: 7 Im order to avoid delays, count of personal THE STAR should not be ad: to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Basiness Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. European Threats. When the United States asserted that this republic and the Monroe Doctrine were factors to be considered in the Venezuelan controversy all of Europe promptly contra- dicted. Salisbury’s supercilious intimation that the affair was none of our business was applauded as voicing the sentiment of every European power. Half-veiled threats concerning what colonizing Europe would do to the American republic if it meddled in any way with colonial controversies were published widely in the European papers. Disregarding the threat of discipline by combined Europe, the United States has made good its contention in regard to Ven- ezuela, and has vindicated its construction of the Monroe Doctrine as applied to the affairs of today, Great Britain explicitly and continental Europe tacitly acquiescing. European threats similar to those used in the Venezuelan controversy are now forth- coming in regard to the republic's attitude toward Cuba. “Should the United States presume to exercise pressure on Spain by recognizing the Cuban insurgents” Europe will not “remain impassive.” This republic will not be bullied in the matter of Cuba to any greater extent than it permitted itself to be thus treated in the Venezuelan affair. In the latter case it confronted as its immediate adversary a great war power; in the former case its antagonist would be a weak power. In dealing with powerful England the repub- lic employed emphatic aad even harsh lan- guage; in dealing with Spain, struggling al- most hopel-ssly against revolts in its colo- nies, and against poverty and lurking revo- lution at home, it has cooed as gently as a sucking dove. The one thing needed to spur America to vigorous and proper action in the case of Cuba Is indirect bullying by Europe which will relieve American action of the reproach of a disposition to take ad- vantage of a nation when it is down. The recognition of the belligerency or irdependence of revolted colonists is a matter in respect to which neither this netion ner any other would permit dicta- tion. The republic has recognized the in- dependence of several revolted Spanish celonies, and nothing is more certain than that at some time Cuba will be added to the list. When that time has arrived is a matter of opinion, to be decided by each nation of the world for itself. Such recog- nition by us, if accompanied by declara- ticns of neutrality, is not in itself a neces- sary or good cause of war with Spain, and is a matter of no concern whatsoever to the rest of Europe. If Spain should rashly precipitate war with the United State because the judg- ment of thet nation concerning the condl- ticns and prospects of the Cuban revolu- tionary government differed from its own, no European government would, it is be- lieved, rush to its assistance, no matter what preliminary bluster may have been indulged in. In the nicely balanced mil- itary situation in Europe no power or set of powers will hasten to acquire the perma- nent hostility of the continent which fur- nishes supplies to the combatants in Eu- ropean war, and which can deal very hard blows when engaged itself. ——+ 2. _ A National Penitentinry Needed. The state of New York having decided not to keep open house for federal crimi- rals in the future, the government must row look elsewhere for some place for the dctention of the District prisoners and others heretofore sent to Albany for viola- tions of United States laws. The situation brings discredit upon the government. The called attention in his annual sage to the anomaly of the nation be- cally without means of imprison- onvicts. After noting that a start has been made by the transfer of the Fort Leavenworth prison to the Department of Justice, Mr. Cleveland said: “This is cer- tainly a movement in the right direction: but it ought to be at once supplemented by the rebuilding or extensive enlargement of this improvised prison, and the construc- ton of at least one more, to be located in the southern states. I am thoroughly con- vinced that economy, humanity and a Prope sense of responsibility and duty to- Ward those whom we punish for violations of federal law dictate that the federal gov- ernment should have the entire control and management of the penitentiaries where convicted violators are confined.” The ap- propriation for the support of U. 3. prison- ers In state penitentiaries and at Fort Leavenworth amounts this year to more than half a million dollars, a sum which If economically spent would probably suffice amply to maintain at least three model na- tional penitentiaries. The first cost of such establishments would be more than justified by the Increase fn security through the centering of responsibility, now shifted to the employes of states, upon the direct servants of the government. Meanwhile the nation fs at the mercy of state laws, save to the extent that the limited capacity of the Leavenworth prison affords relief, and the year closes with the Attorney Gen- eral facing the necessity of seeking new quarters for the unwilling wards of the government and the District. The local Jail ts not large enough for this purpose, and even if it were tt is miserably provided with the means of sure detention. A few days ago a prisoner came within an ace of effecting his escape, owing to the absence of a wall around the shell of the building. Congress has been appealed to time and again to make the comparatively small @ppropriation necessary for this improve- ment, but no heed has been paid to the matter. Perhaps the entirely justifiable ac- tion of the state of New York in refusing longer to serve as the custodian of federa! prisoners will direct the attention of Con- gress not only to the need of a national penitentiary but also to the plain require- ments of the local Institution. ——— +2 ___ Spain does not make any individual pre- tense at scaring anybody, but points with confiderce to several big brothers. ated The remarks of Cecil Rhodes suggest the remote possibility of some thing like the United States of Africa. ——— +e _ Choosing Republican Senators. The Star’s Chicago correspondent told in his letter printed yesterday of the effort of some of the Illinois politicians to in- duce Mr. McKinley to take a hand in the senatorial fight now in progress in that state. The effort, of course, failed. 11 should never have been made Nothing is plainer than thet Mr. McKinley could not afford to use his influence in behalf of any of the candidates. They are all good re- publicans, and several of them are men of ational reputation. He Is probabiy not without concern In the premises. He may very properly be supposed to want a good ™man chosen, and one who as a member of the Senate will render to the new adminis- tration @ sincere support on broad and pa- trictic Mnes. But he could not with pro- See ene eee eee er ee priety go beyond this, and become the champica of a particular‘candidacy. © - Althorgh the President-elect Cannot com- mit himself in any such contest, there !s every reason why he should be taken into account In all of the contests coming on. The republican problem is an important one elsewhere than in Lilinofs. In Indiana, in Kevtucky, in North Carolina, Pennsyl- vania snd New York, where the republi- cans are entitled to a senator, the feeling is that the choice ought to be made very much with regard to strengthening the hands of the new administration in the upper house of Congress. The men chosen, it ts held, should be distinctly friendly to Mr. McKinley, and to be relied upon to stand by him in the carrying out of the party platform. There ought to be no man among them capable of attempting to thwert for purely personal reasons and personal advantage the aims and ends of the new executive, capable of organizing an crposition for carrying purely personal points. The consideration of this phase of the situation adds ‘to the interest felt in the New York contest. It is hardly a contest. Mr. Platt seems to have the game easily in his own hands. The legislature is com- posed largely of his friends. If he wants to succeed Mr. Hill the impression is that he will do so. Still there are republicans in the state urging Joseph H. Choate for the place. And why? The men who are for Mr. Choate are afraid that Mr. Platt if elected Senator will be “loaded.” They point to his brief serv- ice In that body fifteen years ago, when he entered into opposition to a newly-in- stalled administration of his party and greatly embarrassed {t and temporarily wrecked himself. He had helped to bring it into power; had worked for it at the polis, and was in agreement with it on the national issues. But the question of New York patronage came up, and, because he and his republican colleague were not per- mitted to control that, both of them threw up their commissions and went home. They tried to return with authority to continue the fight, but failed. Mr. Platt has helped to bring the party again to success at the polls. He was op- posed to the nomination of Mr. McKinley; but after the St. Louis convention he fell in line and worked for victory. He is in agreement with him on the national issues, but as Senator from New York again will he oppose him, as he did Gen. Garfield, on the question of monopolizing the patronage of the state? Will he again become the storm center of opposition to the adminis- tration In the Senate? These questions are all the more earn- estly asked because of the fact that Mr. Platt is recognized as a consummate poli- tician, and a very difficult man to handle in a family row. No Overhead Trolley Need Apply. The Anacostia street railway line is said to be an object of interest to certain capi- talists, who hope to use it as a means of breaking down the anti-trolley law now in force In the District. The scheme is not new, and it has met with a frigid reception whenever it has been broached. There is no mistaking the sincerity of the views of Congress on the subject of the overhead trolley at the national capital, and i: seems like the leading of a forlorn hope for the advocates of that cheap, dangerous and practically superseded form of rapid tran- sit to seek now to force it upon the people by pleading certain considerations of pov- erty and harmlessness. ‘This road, they say, is unable to install a ‘nore expensive system, and yet is forced by public opinion and the demands of travel to adopt rapid transit. Therefore, as a matter of charity, let the law be set aside in this case, “just for once.’ Then, too, they point to the fact that the line traverses a poorly im- proved seciion of the city, and claim that it would not do so very much harm to allow the trolley there, while ostentatiously up- holding Congress in exciuding the ova- head troiley from other and wealthier neighborhoods. Such casuistry is abom- inapie in the assumption it raises that Congress will deliberately turn over a large portion of the people of this city to the annoyance and danger of an overhead trolley while protecting their more fortunate fellow citizens from the same menace. The Star has more than once urged that in treating with this Ana- cosua line it should be regarded in the same light as other holders of city char- ters, amenable to the same laws and sub- ject to the same restrictions and regula- uons, regardiess of its financial affairs and of the condition of the peopie in the travers- ed section whom it mainly serves—or rather fails to serve. That course should be strict- ty followed in the consideration of all propo- sitions that may be made to Congress this winter. ——————++e—____ The Santa Claus Clab Fund. Contributions to the charity fund of The Evening Star Santa Claus Club should rot be discontinued because of the passing of Christmas day. The schoo! authorities have found that in the cold weather many chil- dren are kept from the schools because of the lack of shoes and warm clothing. It Is to supply this want that the funds of the club are to be used. The need which it is intended to meet will grow es the winter advances. It should be possible to accumu- late such a bank account to the credit of the club during the holidays that when the schools open January 4 no child need be kept at home because of insufficient raiment. It Is a sa‘d thought that a boy or a girl must lose the chance to Lrighten the mind and secure knowledge for the great work of life that lies ahead fcr the mere lack of a pair of shoes or a warm garment. What a handicap to put on the younger generation! Many of the most successful citizens come from the ranks of the poor, having struggled against over- wheliming odds to secure an education. The ™more fortunate members of the community should see to it that every child in the Disurict has an equal chance. To this end let therm give freely to the fund that is bow growing too slowly for the satisfaction of the many demands that are made upon It. ——__+-=—____ It is, plainly, the opinion of Mr. Milliken that the goverament printing office will stand @ very small chance of being com- pleved if the authorities walt for property- owners to grow so philanthropic as to do- mate suitable ground. a I a eo a ae EE i ———_>s 0 e—___ The common assurance that Christmas comes but once @ year, was probably over- shadowed in Senator Jones’ mind by the fact that the presidential election comes orly cree in four years. ——————»02 —___ Liliuckajani,. judged by her interviews, likes the peopie of this country a great deal better personally than she does politi- cally. ———_+ 2 General Weyler goes a step further than Sharkey ts alleged to have gone, by in- sisting on being the referee himself. ————_ ¢= ____ Mr. Platt ts busily engaged in fixing up @ new leaf for the Choate seuntetin® beom to turn over. ———— +e Only thirty-five men were at work today on the new city post-office building. a SEE It Has “Come to Stay.” From the New York Times. * We referred the other day to Mr. Me- Kinley’s terse statement six years that “civil service had come to stay.” McKinley was then, knew that the reform was good for the service, for the taxpayer. and for the en-| Hredea ond coppated by the meds ite | Brad & oie ry system.’ And be knew that the native honesty and. socd sense of the American peopie would make them Soreart and not backward in such a ret t THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 26, 1896-24 .PAGES. bs gael fro 9s Stogrete adjourned "for for. the nollday re. cess.

The supreme court of New York decided that the plan of the late Samuel J. Tilden to establish free libraries, as provided for in hts will, failed because it violated the statute against per- petuation. The gunboat Annapolis was successfully launched at Elizabeth.

The report came of a fight off the south- ern coast of Cuba between the American tugboat Three Friends, carrying an expe- dition to the Cuban insurgents, and a Span- ish launch, assisted by a gunboat; both Spanish boats were reported driven off. The sultan of Turkey issued. an irade granting amnesty to all Armenian prisoners except those sentenced to death for mur- der. The trial of the alleged assassins of ex-Premier Stambouloff of Bulgaria was be- gun at Sofia. The French and Italian am- bassadors requested their governments to send fleets to Alexandretta to back up their protests to the sultan of Turkey in connection with the Armenian question. Senor Romero, minister of finance of the Argentine Republic, resigned. Floods in northern Greece caused enormous damage. Signor Imbriani, the socialist leader in the Italian chamber of deputies, moved that the government ascertain the truth as to the death of the “brave and generous Maceo;” Premier Rudini made a statement deprecating the motion, and the matter was dropped.

The District Commissioners reported to the Senate on the McMillan bill requiring the Baltimore and Ohio railroad to enter the city on viaducts; the Commissioners favored a single structure. The question of the elec- tric lighting of the city was raised in the Senate and a resolution was introduced di- recting the Commissioners to refrain from issuing permits to the Potomac company, but ro action was taken. Representative Milliken introduced in the House a Dill providing for the erection of a government printing office on the square bounded by Ist, 24, B and C. streets northwest. ‘The week was unusually productive of accidents and crimes; Chester R.
