6 THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON. MONDAY. .... February 1, 1897. CROSBY $s. NOYES THE EVENING STAR has a reguiar 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 hus no competitor. C7 lm order to avold 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- ments, according to Or Or purpose The Defe: of Mr. Dubois. Rept ican sati: ction over the defeat of Senator Dubois is entirely natural, but the charge that the Senator be yed his trust last year cannot be sustained. His action in belting the St. Louis nominations fairly admits of no such characterization. entirely within his right to do that, as a matter of fact, his state, by giv- ing its vote overwhelmingly for the Chi- cago nominations, in effect ratified the hott. There is no reason whatever to be- lieve that even had Mr. Dubois accepted It at St. Louis and gone home and nvassed for the ticket, Idaho would have sided at the polls in favor of Mr. Me- Kinley. The truth seems to be that the State is for free silver without regard to th Senator's personal influence. Mr. Dubo' paid the penalty of a reck » political boards. champion of siiver, and knowing that the people of Idaho were of the same faith, he probably thought it safe as well as proper to throw his whole strength to silver. He made no terms. He would doubtless have rejected the sugges- tion of a dicker. But all the same he took eat risk. His case was not akin to that of Mr. Teller. The hold of the Colo- rado Senator on his people was that of a an. That of Mr. Dubois on the people Idaho was that only of a successful young man. Mr. Teller had no rivals to fear, however the country might vote in November. Mr. Dubois, in his case, might have counted a dozen, certain to take the field in case of a complication. complication Inevitably grew out of defeat of silver. If Mr. Bryan had been elected Mr. Dubois would have won fight. That seems reasonably certain. Bryan would have asked for the Sen- rs return, and that would have been ficient. Mr. Dubots as the coming dis- penser of federal patronage in the state would have commanded great strength. A But when Mr. Bryan failed, the question then took the shape of how strong Mr. Dubois was on his individual account, and a scramble on everyday selfish lines began. hen it was that Mr. Dubois, who had = no conditions about leaving his own discovered that he was without a He had ceased to be a repubiican vithout having become either a democrat or a populist, and the single cry of silver was no longer all powerful. That seems to be the story. The new Senator is a populist, © him that he will the question. but it not vote to an tariff question with the silver In that he will be an improve- ment on business Mnes on his predecessor, who did vote to hold up the Dingley bili with a free silver bill. ——— Now for the Air Motors.

His errand ts one of interest ‘n this country, and his report upon his re- ‘urn, in whatever form he chooses to pre- THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1897-12 PAGES sent it—whether in the form cf e speech in | the Senate, cr in that of a fetter over Bis signature—is certain to command wide and serious attention. Mr. Wolcott is among those friends of silver who appraise the financial problem in {ts international proportions. He knows that the present depression of business is Lot confined to this country. He knows that complaints about low prices and about hard times are heard in England and in every country in Europe. Conditions are more favorable in Germany than in any other country on that side of the water, and yet there is complaint even there. So that, the trouble being practically world- wide, the remedy, to be fully effective, must be international. No one country could hope to altogether relieve the situa- tion. For this reason Mr. Wolcott and the western republicans who held with him dur- ing the last campaign refused support to a policy which proposed that the United States, singlehanded, should shoulder the whole difficulty, and by opening its mints free to silver at a ratio of 16 to 1 lead off in a loudly-heralded crusade for good times. They saw the necessity of trying again to secure co-operation in the performance of the Herculean task. If Mr. Wolcott’s investigations abroad should convince him that such co-operation cannot be secured; that those countries with which the United States is most close- ly allied in its commercial relations will not change their financial policies, and do not consider that the free coinage of silver would effect the desired restoration of pros- perity, his own task upon his return home wili be difficult. The silver extremists will demand then that he choose between inde- pendent action by this country or no action atall. The chances seem to be, however, that an international conference will be called, and that some good will come of it. Mean- while, with 2 tariff yielding the government a sufficient revenue for its support, and a business administration proceeding on busi- ness lines in other matters, such improve- ment as can reasonably be expected will be taking place here, and in the same degree that business revives, for any cause, silver agitation is certain to languish. ——__ ee An Anniversary.

The record of the past displays a long procession of flattering promises, buoyent hopes and repeated disappoint- ments. Five years have sped by and ail that results todsy is an empty shell. De- layed or uncommenced contracts cluster about the walls, ke tender memories. e months more and the building will biessom into usefulness, it is now written, and the interest of this fifth anniversary is heightened by the expectation that per- haps the guessing department of the archi- tect’s office has at last hit a winning com- bination. 02 There are few economists who will not admit that the money spent on an occasion like the Bradley-Martin ball might be more advantageously bestowed for the purposes of philanthrepy. But it is difficult to con- trovert the proposition that it is better to have the money put into circulation by this method than not to have it put in cir- culation at all. ——++s+___ An opera singer recently burst into tears and denied that she felt otherw-se than affectionate toward any: member of the company.

His Object. “I wish,” said the artist who had been so absorbed in his work as to neglect his eating, “that you would send out and get a nice large head of cabbage.” “Certainly,” replied his wife: “have you an inspiration for a new still life?” “No. I merely want it for a pot-boiler.” “Hits cur'us ter me,” said Uncle Eben, “ter hyuh how folks will "buse er gossip lenin’ her back, an’ ter see how glad dey acks w'en she comes ‘roun’ ter tell de news.” A Comparison. Oh, comic valentine, afar, Gleam forth your glories numerous, To cheer those merry wags who are Anonymously humorous. Alas, with all your labored chaff, And poetry delirious, You're not as comical by half As those meant to be Sighted.’ The great actor looked very much offend- ed. “These people must be barbarians!” he exclaimed. “What makes you think that?" “I have been at this place for three kours and nobody knows who I am?” “How can you tell?” “I haven't had any requests for a pass to the shew.” Leoking Ahead. “Do you think,” he said with much em- barrassment, “that—er that is to say, if we were married you’re father would be willing to assist us in any way “He might,” was the thoughtful reply. “He Is getting to be ever so successful now in divorce cases.” A Great Mistake.
