THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, JANUARY 11, 1897-12 PAGES THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ry 11, 1897. 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 evening, published in Washing- ton. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. {Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal 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 Business Depart- according to tenor or purpose. Inaugural Miuminations. The rejection by the inaugural executive reaches him. When that: work is out of the way—that is to say, when the legisla- ture adjourns—then the governor will turn to the problem of making such changes in the incumbents of the state offices under his control as will insure the state a ge publican administration of affairs. It is suggested that Mr. McKinley, in his larger field, may adopt some such policy [ as this. His administration will begin with Congress in session, and a great deal of legislative work of the highest import- ance on the cards. Both foreign and do- mestic questions will be pressing. It will be necessary for him to follow the.work of Congress closely, and even to assist in shaping it. This while it lasts will leave him but little if any time to devote to the question of distributing the patronage. ‘The cabinet places and the principal for- eign missions, will, of course, be promptly filled with republicans, but it would un- duly tax even as experienced a man as Mr. McKinley to go into the general ques- committee of the proposition to erect state arches along the line of march, to serve for decorative purposes by day and for il- lumination by night, renders it necessary that some other plan for the special illu- mination of the streets or the public butidings should be devised. The citi- zens, of course, will decorate their houses and places of business so that the chief effort by the committees in. charge will be to secure an appropriate display of lights after nightfaal. One proposition al- ready made is worthy of consideration. ‘This is to illuminate the Capitol building by throwing upon it from near-by stations in the surrounding park several powerful beams of light, from calciums or from electric search lights. This illumination would bring out the white walls and dome with beautiful clearness against the dark sky. The moon will be but two days old March 4, setting less than an hour after the sun, so the night will be dark enough for such a purpose, and the effect would be greatly heightened if clouds should fill the sky. It is also suggested that a ray of strong light could be cast from each of the spaces between the pillars of the top lan- tern, or “tholus,” of the dome, making a star of peculiar meaning inasmuch as there are just thirteen of these spaces the number of the original states. The use of colored glasses at times would enhance the beauty of the scene. and doubtless with care and ingenuity the work could be so well done as to produce a wonderful and memorable effect. Other public buildings might be il- luminated, though none is so well located and constructed for such a purpose as the Capite fhe Washington Monument, how- ever, alfords perhaps even a better chance for thi rt of display than the national state Lights thrown upon it would result ving the blackness of the right with a great white shaft, pure and graceful in its outline and typical of the tepublic in its simplicity and its solidity. The ‘effect would doubtless be to bestir in the hearts of all beholders a feeling of pa- triotic enthusiasm thag the finest pyrotech- rie display would fail to create. If in addi- tion there should be four search lights sta- tioned in the top of the column, sweeping the s from that great height and pene- trating all quarters of the gloom there Would be produced an effect truly mag- nificent in its symbolism and its brilliancy. Whether it will not be wise to attempt some concentrated display of electric lights, which shall in some way gratify state pride by devices characteristic of the respective states, is a matter which will doubtless be carefully consid2red by the executive com- mittee. he pie! ——++e—___ Eleeting the President. The President of the United States is elected today. The event of November 3, popularly supposed to have settled the question, was but a mere preliminary, ac- cording to the spirit of the Constitution, a Preparatery polling of the people for the selection of certain citizens who were to become the real agents of final choice. These citizens, acting in their representa- tive character, meet today in their se eral states, according to the act of 18S and indicate wat the Constitution con- templated as their individual preferences tor the two high efiices of Presiden: and Vice President. In the lapse of time and the growth of the system of government by parties this expression of individual prefer- ence has come to be merely the recording of party mandates, the echoing of the acts ef the conventions held in the summer. Therefore, while this action today in the various states is theoretically the supreme exercise of the right of suffrage, in fact, it is of so little consequence, save as a form, that it pi almost without notic: ——_—__+ +e _____ An Unaccepted Sacrifice. ‘The Pacific Railroad officials and lobby have reason to complain of the lack of popular appreciation of their desperate ef- . through newspapers and otherwise, use Congress to compel the roads to ry penny of their indebtedness under funding bill, instead of cancelling the indebtedness wholiy or in part by at- tempting to foreclose. This noble devotion of money and time to the public welfare at the expense of their private interests is a surprise to those who are unacquainted with the public-spirited disinterestedness which aetuates Mr. Huntington and his as- oe! The vote of the House in oppo- jon to the funding bill indicates that the American people magnanimously refuse to lake advantage of the road’s voluntary self-sacri Mr. Huntington can indulge in the gratifying consciousness of having conscientiously and urgently offered to be compelled to pay every cent of the in- debtedness under a funding bill, without if the end being actually so compelled. ———__ + ee —___ It may possibly be shown that the young person who suffers the most embarrass- ment because of the recent scandalous din- tes.

He should find something doubly severe to say concerning the numerous modern achievements which are inartistie as well as immoral ——_++2—_____ It is not likely that Mr. Quay will soon be forgiven for parading around in his over-alls and pointing to Mr. Wanamaker as an effete aristocrat. ——_- -+___ The Princess Chimay has demonstrated that truth fs stranger than even cheap Story-paper fiction. —_+-+____ One Thing at a Time. The newly-elected republican governor of Indiana, now on the eve of taking office, announces very frankly that he will not be prepared at the outset to take up the question of patronage. He enumerates the more important things that will occupy his time for some months to come. For one thing, he points out that the legislature will be in session, engaged with matters of great interest to the state, and it will be necessary for him, a new man at the helm, to follow carefully all that may be done in that direction. He does not feel, therefore, that while employed in that way he will be able to give attention to such changes in the offices as his party friends expect, and, in due season, ought to be made. ‘This is a praiseworthy deliverance. It does rot argue that the new governor ‘s indifferent to his friends, or to the obliga- tions of party, but it merely calls for one thing at @ time, and the doing of the more important of two things first, The in- terests of all the people of the state are vitally involved in the work of the ture, and the governor participates in ef work as he approves or disapproves of it. |. He very properly puts that first, and so is Prepering to qualify himself for passing Upon It promptly and intelligently tion of patronage with Congress in ses- sion and daily considering matters of great- er and more general concern to the coun- try. It is not doubted that Mr. McKinley in dealing with those offices which are still distributed on partisan grounds, will re- member his party friends to the full ex- tent of his opportunity. But that he could do this with more certainty of choosing the right men by having the necessary time in which to consider the changes does not appear to be open to question. The Central and Union Pacific railways seem to entertain a gentle, Micawber-like belief that a note of hand can at all times be relied upon as a balm to conscience and a vindication of commercial honor. ———_ ++ —__ If Mr. Hanna can learn to lead a legisla- ive body as well as he does a convention he might, as a United States Senator, be a very valuable assistant to Mr. McKinley every now and then. —____++—____ Forty-four men strove today to make possible a union of the general and local Post offices in the same building some time this year. > —___—_ G STARS, SHOOT Excessive Caution. “It does prevent a man’s having regular hours to be away from home,” remarked the prominent citizen. “But I did my best to eat as usual while I was in New York. I managed to get along with breakfast, lunch and a light supper.” “No dinner?” “Young man, I read the papers.

Ex-Secretary Smith Says It Was in Many Respects a Case of Complete Collapse. From the Baltimore Sun. WASHINGTON, January 10.—Ex-Secre- tary Hoke Smith, who was exceptionally’ popular during his stay here as a member of the cabinet, and who came on to attend the White House dinner, is still in the city and the recipient of much social attention. In speaking of the Bryan lecture in Atlan- ta, Mr. Smith said it was the most complete collapse he had ever heard or known of in his whole life, and if Mr. Bryan had been advertised for a free lecture the next even- ing he would have drawn no audience at all. It was difficult to account for it except that the matter was old and common) and all the fire and vigor of oratory in the speaker seemed to have been exhausted. Mr. Smith was asked about his vote for Bryan. He said when he and the late ex- Speaker Crisp were engaged in their it discussion last spring before the people of Georgia each | prope himself to vote for the nominee of the Chicago convention as the regular party nominee. He kept his promise, of course, as an honorable man, but during the entire campaign he never [xXxXERY A January Sale of New Corsets.
