THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 1%, ae97-19 PAGES THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. February 17, 1887. WHE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than three times as large ut of any other paper, morning ished in Washing- and Advertising News am it "has no competitor. tlm order to waala delays, o! count of personal absence, letters te 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- ac- ments, according to tenor or purpose. The Increased Budget. enate appropriations commitiee has well by the local interests in ion of the District budget, com- today, as cotild have been reasonably -d. oN increase of | $1,204,866.38 means the saving cf many worthy institu- tions and efforts from being handicapped ce from absolute failure during the next Th done exper fiscal year. e of the projects for which the Senate committee, it was hoped, would provide, have received attention and if the bill can be preserved in practically its present shape while passing through the erdeal of the conferences it will be an excellent measure in many respects. As now written it car- vies @ trifle over a million more than the etrrent appropriation, while still remaining much lower than the Commissioners’ esti- mate The committee has done one thing that deserves general gratitude on the part of ihe people of the District, in providing for the maintenance of the free public Wbrary. While the total sum named is less than that estimated for, its appearance in the bill nevertheless supplies the serious defeet in the "House bill, which omitted to -provide any means whatever for giving force to the mandate of Congress that a library should be established and main- tained. The committee also recognized the need for an additional water supply, and made more generous provision for the schools, and the police and tire departments. Other features of the committee's revision are apparent at a gl at the summary of the bill which appears elsewhere in this issue. It is unfortunate that the appro- priation for a site for a contagious hospital was omitted. This ftem will doubtless ap- pear later as a point of contention in con- ference. —- + ee _____ The Dixtrict Comminsionership. The feeling of regret that the President finally decided not to re-appoint Commis- sioner Ross is general and unfeigred. Ex- perience counts for much in increasing the value to a community of the services of a public servant, and a continuance of Mr. Ross in the office which he has filled so admirably would’ have saved the District from all risks of experimenting with an untried man in the performance of func tions which for the promotion of the wel- fare of the community demand a high de- gree both of tact and ability. The President's personal choice of a Com- missioner has fallen upon Mr. F. P. B. Sands, a Washingtonian by birth, a suc- cessful lawyer and well spoken of by his friends as a good citizen and as a man of pleasing address, energetic and persistent. The most serious open and undisguised obstacle is to the confirmation of a character to to the District as a Com- oner when confirmed. But on the other hand ff this obstacle is overcome by securing a favorable report from the Sen- ate District committee upon his nomina- tion this drawback upon his usefulness as Commissioner will he at the same time removed.

There was risk, of course, about attempting to throw it off, but as between that and living like slaves they made their choice. They are still in the field, and still undaunted. They ought to win, and probably will win. At any rate, they have shown themselves to be worthy of the independence they seek, and have aroused the sympathy and ad- miration of the people of this country. Anf now come the Cretans, resolved to terminate the persecution to which they Dave long been subjected by the Turks. cause appeals strongly to Christian ‘civilization.

He may be ro match for the sultan single-handed, but matters will not take that turn. If the sultan draws his sword in this business it will be against civiliza- tion, with King George as only one of its champions. The King of Greece has done the right thing. for the Cretans must ma- terially benefit by having the attention of the world thus drawn to their grievances under Turkish rule! It is the same old problem, and every- where, whether in an island in the Pacific or the Atlantic, or in the classic waters that wash the shores of Greece, men solve it, or try to solve it, in the same old way. And as long as they have the courage to resist tyranny they will be assured of the sympathy of mankind and ultimately of success. These are not the times for pa- tience under persecution and bloody op- pression. —>+e—______ The Money Conference Bill. The republican leaders are not disturbed over the delay in the House coinage com- mittee in the matter of the international monetary conference bill. They would have been glad had the measure been disposed of by the House promptly, as it was by the Senate, but they do not fear as to the final result. They are very confident, indeed, that if the bill does not become a law at this session it will at the extra session. The Senate has already declared itself, and will do so again, while there is every reason to believe that debate will but make the party's duty in the premises ‘the more con- spicuous. ‘Some of these men even favor postpone- ment. They would prefer seeing the bill not only passed by a republican Congress, but signed by a republican President. They want the full credit of the whole transaction to fall to thetr party. Besides, they are expecting some valuable light on the sub- ject from Senator Wolcott, who will not re- turn in time to aid the cause at this session. He has not yet left the continent, and will hardly be in Washington again much be- fore the 4th of March. His report is awaited with much interest, not only be- cause of the opportunity he has enjoyed to sound sentiment on the other side, but because of his ability to digest fully all the information he has gathered. He not only believes in international bimetallism, but desires it, and it is assumed that he has left nothing undone while abroad to study the question in all of its aspects. The point of most value so far scored, as the republicans beliey is the practical unanimity of the party touching the re- demption of the promise made at St. Louis to forward the interests of international bimetalism. The only discordant notes come from outside the party—from gold democrats who really prepared the Indian- apolis platform and the Indianapolis ticket, but who were afraid to risk open support of them for fear of contributing indirecuy to the support of Mr. Bryan. These men are urging now that the money plank adopted at St. Louis was merely a political catehpenny, which, having served its pur- pese, should be thrown out as so much trumpery. But they are not numerous, and the republicans are confident that they will not influence the party’s action. Men from far north, like Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts and Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire, are standing side by side with the men of the west in insisting that the party is in honor bound by its campaign promises, and must redeem them. ——_--+ «= —__ The public policies which Major McKin- ley will adopt during his administration seem for the present to be entirely ovz shadowed as matters of current importanze by the clothes which he and the members of his family will wear at the inaugura- tion. see “about fifty’ men at work on ilding today.
