As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7 In order to avoid delays, om 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- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Choosing Men of Experience. If present expectations are realized, new administration will the be composed of men well known to the country in connec- ticn with its political history, and expert- erced in legislative as in other public af- fairs. The President-el ticnal figure for twenty that time has participated in much notable work. Mr. Sherman has been in office for forty years, and for the past fifteen years bas been recognized as tM most eminent of American financiers. During those same fifteen years he has been at the head of the Foreign Relations Committee of the Serate, and is thus wholly familiar with the subjects with which as Secretary of State he will be called upon to deal. The three or four other men to whom present }robabilities strongly point as members of the new cabinet have all had large ex- perience in both legislative and executive or judicial office. This is all of the best augury. While the executive and legislative branches of the government are of course entirely separate, aving its own functions to perform, only good can come from their being on ex- t terms with each other. Good will between them Is always to be desired, and sood will is best assured where there is full ciation on the part of each of the and responsibilities. How much embarrassment may grow out of a lack of this feeling between those two branches of the government has, unhappily, been fully illustrated during the past four years. If a “tug of war” had formally been dered by the American people, the exhi- bition in principle would not have been ma- lifferent. Mr. Cleveland and his “ have been straining at their end of the rope, and two Congresses at their It is of smaller moment to decide who axe en victors in this tussle than to realize, as everybody does, that the country has suffered from it. Domestic as well as foreign policies have shown the effects of it. A tariff bill was wrecked, and our for- eign affairs in more than one quarter have omplicated, all as the result of the of a feeling of distrust between and the executive. Mr. and dishonor” letter = confusion over the |. and his open flouting of Con- the matter of Hawail and Cuba his crowning affront to that de- partment of the government. If the McKinley administration should ac- complish but little else than to re-estabtish relations of mutual respect and considera- tion between Congress and the executive it will not have existed in vain. $+ o-___ A Chance for Action. Commissioner Powell said on Saturday: “This United States Company is a con- stant violator of the law. It has today more overhead wires than it had in 1988, and we have thelr affidavits to prove it Wir re strung overhead every week, every day, every night, every Sunday.” There can be no question as to the truth of the first statement, the general charge that the company mentioned is “a con- stant violator of the law,” providing the quent statement as to the persistent ing of overhead wires is accurate. The law on the subject may be inadequate in some respects, but it certainly is definite in its formal prohibition of additional over- head electric wires. Major Powell must be well informed concerning the alleged vio- lations of the law, for otherwise he would not speak with such unequivocal direct- ness. It is his urgent duty under the ctr- cumstances to demonstrate either the power or the futility of the statute by im- mediate interference to prevent the illegal acts which he discloses and by prompt prosecution of the offenders. The very openness with which the law is violated “every week, every day, every night, every Sunday” is in itself in the nature of a re- proach to the local authorities for admitted laxity in enforcing the law. There should be no delay in causing a condition to cease which reflects both upon the electric light company and the municipal officials in- trusted with carrying Into effect the local statutes. —_____ + = —___. The Potomac electrte lighting company continues to rush the work of laying its con- dutts, resuming operations at twelve o'clock last night, not for the purpose of anticipat- ing Congressional action which threatens to stop the work, President Crosby explains, but to take advantage of the fine, rainy weather and to hasten the day when an electric light service can be rendered to the dear, impatient public. oe The discovery that a number of the al- leged robberics in which alleged actresses have lost alleged diamonds were merely the devices of a press agent, tends to prove that the police are not as inefficient as they have been painted. +02 Mr. J.

Mr. Sherman on Cuba. The Pittsburg interview with Senator Sherman on the subject of Cuba bore evi- dences of haste and inaccuracy which discredited parts of it even before Mr. Sherman's qualified denial. Reportorial enterprise in that town is remark- able and commendable, but it must be admitted that catching a statesman on the tty, while a fast train stops for lunch, ts not the best way to secure information on the most important topics. Both the staterman and his interrogator are at a disadvantage. The one fires his questions in haste, while the other catches them and does in equal haste the best he can with them. To illustrate: Mr. Sherman is quoted as saying in reply to a question that the next administration will not “do anything which weuld make a peaceful government of the island a charge on this country.” A very sound statement, and one that every fwiend of Cuba will be most happy to hear. It goes Cirectly to the point, and fs in itself @ repudiation of all the maneuvering which has of late been going on between the state department and the authorities at Madrid. All tis talk about reforms for Cube is country practically shall guarantee those referms. Mr. Cleveland is to say that they are wise, and that fs to be quoted to the Irsurgents to induce them to accept the terms and lny down their arms. But how does the Pittsburg man inter- pret Mr. Sherman's statement? He de- clares, on the strength of it, that “the Cuban policy of the McKinley administra- tlon will ¢iffer very little from that which has been laid down by President Cleveland and his Secretary of State!” The difference upon that one point alone will be as wide es can be. The McKinley administration, according to Mr. Sherman, will negotiate no reforms between Spain and Cuba. The Cubans are to decide for ‘themselves whether to accept Spain's promises, onc? basely repudiated, or not. If they are accepted, the Cubans are to be responsible to themselves for their perfermance. If they are rejected, Spain must then find other means of treating with the insur- gents for peace. The irsurgents, through their responsible leaders, seem clear as to thelr course. Spair’s word is worth nothing with them. They would not accept it even if indorsed by the United States. Unless their inde- benderce is conceded, the insurgents will continue the war, and the people of this country want the war to cease. If the Cuban question, practically in its present shape, is handed over to the Mc- Kinley administration, the difference bg- tween an American policy and a Cleveland policy promises promptly to be made mani- fest. ——>+e—____ The Kentucky Situation. As the result of the latest reports from Frankfort, the republican leaders are in an easier frame of mind respecting the Kentucky senatorship. If it is true that Gov. Bradley and Dr. Hunter, yielding to party pressure, will sink their personal differences as they affect that question, then a republican successor to Mr. Black- burn is assured. Those familiar with the situation speak very highiy of the republican leadership in the bluegrass state. It is native and in every way representative. It embraces a number of excellent men, qualified in every Particular for places of the highest re- sponsibility. Any one of them would fill the chair now occupied by Mr. Blackburn with credit to himself and good service to his people. So much the more incum- bent on those in power therefore is it to clear the path for a selection from a field altogether so worthy. The Kentucky republicans will probably uote, too, how very well their brethren in West Virginia and Maryland—two sister southern states—have performed a similar duty. Mr. Elkins takes rank among the best pol ins and business men in the Senate and adds materially to the prestige of his state in that body. Those who know Mr. Wellington well are very certain that he entering a field for which he pos- s full equipment. Another such man from another southern state will strength- ern repubiicanism in the eyes of country. ——>+s—____ If this country were to have a censor who was charged with the duty of allowing only such reading matter as is unobjection- able from a polite standpoint to circulate, there is doubt whether the demands on his attention by the Congressional Record would leave him much time to attend to the myriad other less responsible publica- tions. +e THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, JANUARY 18, 4897-12 PAGES. —All the Credit gou want —AT RUDDEN’S.— deprive yourself —of the Furniture comforts of life simply because you have not the ready cash.
