EVENING STAR. ASHINGTON TU CROSBY S. NOYES. AY. THE EVENING STAR has a regainr and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington @ailies. As a News and Advertising Mediam it has no competitor. &7 Im order to avoid delays, om ac- count of personal absence, Ictters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual conneated with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Populist Leadership. As was to be expected, Mr. Simpson's leadership promptly landed the minority of the House in the ditch. The result was inevitable, for your combination of” impa- tient populist and impatient democrat, with talk in view, is never a match for the trained opposition, with business in view. Mr. Reed has his adversary now just where he wants him. The Speaker is rot only master of the situatios, but stands above further serious taunt about that matter of the ezarship. It is plain enough now that if there is a czarship in the House, the power reposes in the House itself and not im the Speaker. Mr. Reed’s methods have never betrayed the Machiavelian pattern. The Speaker has wit and force and abundant contriv- ance, but he operates boldly and defiantly. Mere cunning is beneath him. As the gamblers say, he does all of his business above the table. But the way in which this fight against him has been conducted, and the plight in which the opposition now finds itseif, presents features so curious and intet ing that if Mr. Reed had been @ master of craft, with a magician’s power over his enemies, and bent upon trapping them and disarming them, he could not have shaped things more to his liking and advantage. There was Mr. Simpson ad- vancing from time to time with his chal- lerge, and Mr. Reed keeping the cover of au occasional explanation and his office. Then, presto, come the Speaker's chal- lenge, Mr. Simpson’s corfusion and col- lapse, the bagging of the opposition by a roll call, showing two for one for the Speaker, and the assumption by the House of responsibility for that for which the Speaker had been so roundly abused. But two points worth discussing have been brought out in this contest. It is urged that the committees of the House ought to be appointed in the interests of public business. The reply to that is that Be public business is pressing. The House hes transacted all the business for which it was cailed together. It is also urged that this inactivity of the House ts a crit- icism of the Senate and an attempted co- ercion of that bedy. This is far-fetched and rather fanciful. The country knows the situation; that the tariff bill is now in the hards of the Senate, and cannot be- come a law until the Senate passes upon it. That fact would not and could not be ob- seured if the House met every day and spent twenty out of the twenty-four hours im session, and with every orator in it wound up to an eight-day capacity. arve.’ New York has for some years been strug- gling with the question of what to do with “Dead Man’s Curve,” that short reach on the Broadway cable line at Union Square has cost scores of lives. Various plans ave been advocated for straightening the tracks and for tunneling under the square, but the railroad company in possession has always stubbornly refused to budge, and the plans have all involved such a heavy ex- pense that the city has been unwilling to urdertake the enterprise without the aid of the corporation. The greatest element of Ganger has always been the inability of the motormen to slacken speed on the curves, which are located at one of the most popu- lous parts of the great thoroughfare. Ow- ing to the form of grip in use, the cable bad to be retained throughout the trip around tke curves, else it would slide to ene side of the conduit and could not be retaken without the aid of a machine. It is thought that the trouble has at last beeu eliminated by the device of a new grip, which will permit the car to slack up or to stop entirely while on the curve, without lesing the cable. Inasmuch as this solves the worst part of the problem, it is Ilkely that there will be no more heard at present of plans for straightening out the curves. But the District Commissioners should take warning of the experience of the metropolis and move without delay to check the development of a “Dead Man’s Curve” in this city, at the corner of Fif- tcenth street and New York avenue, with a pessible supplement a block eastward. These two junctions are exceedingiy dan- gerous, and are growing more so with each year, as the city expands and as its streets become more crowded. Now is the time to solve such a problem, before it has grown beyond easy control. There should be no stch death traps in this city, with its broad streets and its facilities for caring cenveniently for the traffic without friction or danger. ————_~+ e+ ___ Considering the amount of trouble and Suspense caused to the Republican party by having 2 coinage question thrust upon it carly in the campaign, it 1s not a matter of surprise that some reluctance should be shown about allowing the topic to assert itself any earlier in the administration than public conditions may make neces- sery. ——_+ + + __. Mr. Simpson may now realize what it means to play with matches around a powder magazine. ——++e—_____ The Proof of the Pudding. There can be no stronger assurance that ‘the Dingiey bill is a protection bill than that afforded by foreign comments on it, and by rumored foreign action as the result of it. The measure is displeasing to Great Britain. Germany, France and Japan, and cmmercial reprisals are threatened. Can- ada leads off for Great Britain, with a tariff vevised against American products and in favor of English products, and Japan, it is stated, may cancel an order or two she has gtven for warships to American shipbuild- rs, and in other ways spend her money elsewhere. Business ts business, but that fort of thing will not have any effect in tkis country. Why should it have? The Dingley bill, it may be stated, is not @irected at any country. It seeks neither to penish nor to break down the industries of apy country. It cxplairs itself, and is justi- fied vy the experience and demands of the American people. It is framed on the lines of what is known as the American poilicy. Protection t> home industries against the competition of foreign cheap labor is a policy as old as the government itself. America has thrived under that policy, and therefore decides to continue it. The Amer- ‘cen market was never so valuable as it is teday, as ts shown by the eagerness of @utsiders to share it with the home pro- @ucers. The Dingley bill reserves % for the Bome producers and the home consumers, t the benefit of both, and thereby fulfills the aims and ends of {ts authors. We are doirg in this matter simply what we have good reason to believe is best for this country, No country ever adopts, or should adopt, an economic policy with any other object in view. Protection, well reg- ulated, has proved to be pre-eminently a wise policy for the United States. We should not give it up because England has Denefited somewhat from free trade, or Because Japan, in en ambitious and worthy effort to start manufacturing wheels in motion, would be glad to come in here with advantage to herself. England and Japan ere to be judges of what is best for them. just as we should continue to judge what is best for us. ‘The United States, in its resources, and in business relations and prospects, resembles neither of those coun- tries. nor any other country. It is a great empire in itself, in a larger measure than any other country sufficient unto itself, and needs only to thoroughly develop ‘tself to be the most powerful and fortunate of rations. ‘The contention of the free traders is that the country ia already developed; that its industries are “overgrown,” and no longer need protection, and so forth. That is a very shortsighted appraisement of things. The real development of the country is just beginning. Comparatively speaking, the population is small as yet. Within fifty years it is likely to be double its. present size: and with the increase of people will come an increase of all industries that go to sustain them. What exisis today, there- fore, is a foundation upon which that greater structure is to rise. And so, to weaken the foundation would be a crime against the future. Neither England nor Japan is a buyer here for any other than business reasons. Sentiment does not control them. We have some of the things they need, and they will continue to come here for them as long as they can get them to advantage here. The home market with the first call for the Eome people is still a motto to conjure with. The only free trade we want in this ccuntry is th> free trade that exists among the states and territories of the Union. —_++e____ The Nashville Banner appropriately cel- ebrates the opening of the Tennessee Cen- tennial Exposition by publishing an extra- -rdinary edition of forty-four pages, de- voted almost exclusively to the celebra- tion. A handsomely designed cover in colors binds the whole. The features of the exposition are described, and the history of the state is set forth in an interesting manner. Illustrations are generously spread through the pages, going to make an alto- gether commendable and noteworthy edi- tion. ++ _____ Much is said about “the failure of the democratic party.” But there seems to be no means of deciding whether it resides at Wolfert’s Roost, Lincoln, Nebraska, or Princeton, New Jersey. — 2 ___ There is as yet no definite prospect that @ private wire will not have to be run to the jail for the accommodation of Broker Chapman and one or two other business men. ———_+ee____ Mr. Reed as speaker of the House of Representatives may te unassailable; but Mr. Simpson successfully insists on being recognized as the talker. —— + +2___ Senator Deboe started from Kentucky for Washington wearing a Princ2 Albert coat. it is hoped that he will not be tenacious on this point. — 2 ___ There were but one hundred and ninety men at work today on the city post office building. —_~-+e—_____ SHOOTING STARS. A Pertinent Suggestion. “I always said," remarked the Turkisl: officer to a Greek prisoner, “that in spite of your reputation as fighters, we would put you to rout.” “Ob, well,” replied the man, who had been active in Hellenic dissensions, “may- be you couldn't have done it so easily i we hadn't helped some.” After. With a bianket about her shoulder And a hot brick against her toes, She sits, while a mustard plaster Makes her chest like the blushing rose. And her manner is sad and pensive, And her glances are far away, As she vows that she never, no, never more, Will consent to be “Queen of the May.” Am Odious Comparison. “I don't think there is any doubt about the Indians progressing in civilization,” remarked the professor. “I haven't had very extensive oppor- tunities for observation,” replied the prim lady, “but the fact that none of the In- dians I ever saw were in the habit of ex- pectorating on the floors of street-cars or of using profanity in public leads me to think that they have gotten a very gooa start.” Jealousy. “Did Miss Gildenbat enjoy the play very much?” “Not much, Cayenne. “She was very lavishly dressed.” “Yes. I think that fact is what inter- fered with her enjoyment. She noticed that the audience persisted in looking at the actors instead of at her.” A Lender Now and Then. “You know Representative Fencemender, don’t you?” said the man who had just been introduced to Senator Sorghum. “Slightly.” “I have heard that he is a leader of I'm afraid,” replied Miss I have known him to be that on several occasions.” “What were they?” “Those upon which he saw fit to invite the party to go out crd have some re- freshments.” - Faith.

New York Tribune. ‘The comment generally made by the Eng- lish press upon this speech is that the am- bassador is a man of few words and in this respect challenges comparison with his pre- decéssor. “Loquacity ts not a corcinae virtue in a diplomatist,” one journal se tentiously remarks. It ig with an oiietoua feeling of relief that the discovery is made that it is possible for an Americaa am- baseador to say what is necessary and graceful in two or three minutes. Another significant comment. which I ob- serve in several journals is the emphasis laid upon the fact that the ambassador realizes he jor imvari- ably does wherever he may ot It ts the ratural order of patriotic, self-respecting diplomacy.
