SATURDAY... 3 THE EVENING STAR has a regul and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington datlies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7 Im order void delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR sho be addressed dividual connected with the simply te THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. ss eee THE STAR BY MAIL, Persons leaving the city for any period can have The Star mailed to them to any address in the United States or Canada, by ordering it at this office, in person or by letter. Terms: 13 cents per week; 25 cents for two weeks, or 50 cents per month. Invariably in advance. Sub- scribers changing their address from one Post-offce to another should «ive the last address as well as the new one.* er a Progressive Prosperity. A reading of The Star's weekly review of the real esgate situation, printed today, in- @icates how steadily progressive is the re- turn of prosperity to this city. There has teen no sudden and unstable “boom” in values or in buikiing operations and hence what has been accomplished has been with @ greater guarantee of permanence. The shiftings of capital have all been inspired, it would seem, by a feeling of faith in the ultymate recovery of not only the city but the entire country from the depression that has been so marked for nearly four years. Im confirmation of this view of the generai situation it is to be noted that the com- mercial agencies are this week reporting business to be improving all over the coun- try. It is announced that the actual sales 4m April by leading houses in all lines of business in the principal cities east of the Rocky mountains average only ten per cent less than in April, 1892, the year of the largest business hitherto, and 6.1 per cent more than in Apri! of last year. This, it is to be remembered, kas been accompanied by several unusual and retarding influences, notably the great Mississsippi floods, and im some sections the irregularity of the sea- gen. Nor is this all. The returns of fail- ures for the month show decreases in the namber, amount and average of Habilities im almost every branch of trade and in nearly every line of manufacture except cotton. Thus it is to be seen that Washing- ton is today feeling the influence of re- turning confidence and prosperity. Her real estate is to be taken as a business ther- mometer, and the activity of the market, the employment of labor and the purchases of materials are all such as to command the belief thet the coming summer will witness a most satisfactory revival and re- establishment of values. kanal Cpen Cars, A correspondent whose letter was printed im last evening's Star calls attention fore! bly to the need of greater discretion on the part of the street railway managers of the city in the matter of running open cars at this time of year. Her complaint seems to be well founded and will doubtless awaken ®@ sympathetic response from many others who have been chilled by the sharp blasts of spring whistling through the skeleton fr@mes.of these vehicles. The open car is one of the delights of life in midsummer When the temperatures crowd the hundred ark and every zephyr is precious. But in the spring and the autumn, when the ther- mometer is fickle and the changes between @@wn and night are apt to be sharp and eedden, it is very questionable whether these cars should be used at all, save per- taps in the middle of the day. There appears to be an indisposition on the part of the managers of the roads to take the @pen cars out of service when once they have been put on the tracks in the morning, €ven though there may have been a fall of ten or twenty degrees in temperature laier fm the day. They are often run until the last trips at night, with their occupants Suddied close with upturned collars, vainly seeking the comfort that can not be secured umtil the car is abandoned. The matter is not beyond regulation. Even the city of Brooklyn, where human life is not valued exeeptionally high when street cars are concerned, has prohibited the use of open cers under conditions that render them a menace to health. There is now in force there a regulation providing that “no street railway operating on the streets of the city of Breoklyn shall run open cars at any time when the temperature shall be lower than sixty degrees Fahrenheit.”. The Com- mission-rs are enabled by the law providing for the drafting of regulations for the protection of health and comfort to imitate this good example, and probably their pro- metgation of a similar rule would be ap- Plauded by the railway companies, which are today between two fires, the desire of soMe patrons to use the open cars and the fear of others that the temperatures im such cars will imperil their health. Once it has been made a matter of regulation there can be no difficulty about meeting the average citizen's judgment. ————+-2___ New York ts nothing if not thrifty. She needs money to buy bronze ornaments for the Grant mausoleum and now proposes to sell to curio hunters at a dollar apiece the i#.000 bricks that compose the old tomb. +02 ‘The manner in which the impetuosity of the Greeks culminated may have some influence in helping the Cubans to disregard the challenges of the Spaniards to come eut in the open and fight. ——_—_—__-.— It may be assumed that Mr. Altgeld locks with great disapproval on the President's © Day im Greece. ‘k people are on trial now more with regard to their treatment of King George than with regard to their stand in the field against Turkey. The success of the Turk so far has not been surprising. He greatly outnumbers bis enemy. His generals have seen far more active service, and one of them—the great Oxman—is a soldier of world-wide reputation. His equipment for war in every way is far superior to that of Greece. He has, besides, the sympathy of Ahe first Powers of Europe. With all of this to stiffen his back and strengthen his arm, tt would be extraordinary, indeed, if he did not carry the day in battle. Greece is not humiliated by her hard fortune. Her cause is just, and her championship of it one of the best exhibitions of pluck and character modern times have seen. But the test of a people, as of an indi- vidual, is in the capacity to bear misfor- tune. The Greeks are reported to be angry with King George, and disposed to hold him responsible for the plight they now are in. The crowd in Athens shake their fists at the palace, and members of the royal family ‘are said to be uncivilly treated in public. If this argues the general temper of the people, it is @ far more unfortunate reflection on the Greeks than any reverses they have met with in their warfare. In making his stand for civilization and Justice In Crete King George obeyed net only his own heart but the heart of his people. The superiority of Turkey as a war power was no secret anywhere. King George had no monopoly of that informa- tion. His people knew the condition of things almost as well as he himself knew them. He did not plunge an unsuspecting population into war against a powerful enemy. That population went te war with its eyes wide open, and anxious to fight the powerful Turk for what St considered was right and almost holy. So that if it shall turn now and rend the king in the hour of gloom, ii will forfelt a great share of the admiration its first step has excitéed. Besides, nothing would so complete the triumph of the Turk as the fall of King George. He alone has had the temerity to challenge the hideous arrangement by which the Turk ts the cruel master of hun- dreds of thousands of Christian people. If he goes down, therefore, as the result of his challenge, the Turk necessarily will benefit. The Moslem power will become stronger than ever, and then the Greck people, with some feeble successor to King George on their throne, wili be, in a certain painful sense, subjects themselves of the Sultan. ‘The tariff bill wad reported to the Senate frem the committee on finance with many amendments; the sugar rates were greatly increased, the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty was abrogated and higher taxes were im- posed on beer and other articles of internal revenue. The Senate refused by a vote of 48 to 26 to ratify the arbitration treaty, the requisite two-thirds vote being tecking. The House by a decisive vote refused to di- rect the Speaker to appoint the committees, and agreed for the rest of the session to hold bi-weekly sessions. Senator Deboe, newly elected from Kentucky, took his seat. A resolution was introduced by Rep- resentative Payne of Utah providing for the annexation of Hawail. The President nomi- nated Stanford Newell of Minnesota to be minister to the Netherlands and Robert F. Patterson of Tennessee to be consul general at Calcutta.

The Duc d’Aumale died at Zucco, Sicily, of apoplexy, on hear- ing of the death of his niece, the Duchess d’Alencon, who was burned to death in the fire. The American Society in London gave a farewell dinner te Mr. Thomas F. Bayard, the retiring ambassador. May day was observed in various European cities without disturbances except in Budapest, Hengary, where a number of workingmen attempted a demonstration in spite of the Prohibition of the authorities. They were dispersed by the police. The Greek forces abardoned Pharsaios and Velestino and fell back to Domokos and Halmyros; in the fighting previous to the retreat the Turks suffered heavy losses. Lord Salis- bury, speaking at the annual meeting of the Primrose League in London, said that, as the result of the concert of the powers, the peace of Europe was on a firmer foun- dation now than ever before.

The Senate has directed the commerce committce of that body to investigate the work that has been dene with government aid for the improvement of the Mississipp river. The investigation will prebabiy be made at the convenience of the committee during the congressional recess, so that a report can follow at the regular session next winter. The subject ts of much more than local importance, and everything of imterest bearing upon it should be thor- oughly and carefully examined. The unprecedented flood of this year, just now subsiding, has caused such destruc- tion and uneasiness in the Mississippi val- ley that all of the old contentions about plans for controling and improving the river are with more or less vigor revived. The levee plan has received the official sanction, and a great deal of money has been spent in its execution up to date. Its friends Insist, too, that, upon the whole, ir has fully justified itself, and they are pre- paring to champion it next winter by pro- posing increased appropriations for tts fur- ther and more ambitious development. But what is called the outlet plan, which was rejected when the levee plan was adopted, still has friends, and they are organizing to renew the fight in its behalf. Their con- tention, of course, is that the levee plan is a failure, and that the government should net spend any more money in that direction. 4 These questions of detail necessarily pro- duce divisions of opinion, but the propo- sition of protecting the people living in the fertile valley of that grand river from the disasters of overflows seems to meet with very general approval. A large arez is exposed. It is full of homes, and when the seasons are propitious tne tana yieias enormously. The job of keeping out the river is far too big for the inhabitants of the valley themselves te accomplish. They are willing to assist, and have assisted, to the full extent of their ability, but the work in large measure devolves upon the general government, and for this reason the investigation ordered should bear good fruit. The Senate commerce committee is well prepared to make the investigation. Its members have had large knowledge of the subject through handling the river and harbor bills, and some of them in years past have visited the scenes of the work now in progress. Much will depend on their report, and on what the House may do on the same subject. ————_+ ++ ___ It is undoubtedly a little difficult on oc- casions for the representative head of a foreign government to feel that he is com- ™mariding the respect which his country- men would deem essential to the dignity of his position and at the same time that he is making due allowance for the demo- cratic ideas which prevail in this nation. —__--=+___ It would be a brilltant and probably sat- isfactory arrangement if this administra- tion could ‘make the revival of business so cemplete as to cause numerous trusts to spring up for purposes of mutual anninila- tion. ———_++e There is a disposition to keep Mr. Platt so busy with local affairs in New York that he may not have time to assume the ecmmanding prominence ir national affairs which was prophesied. —____-e+______ Mr. Bayard departs with every assurance that could possibly be implied that Great Eritain will not hold him personally re- sponsible for the failure to establish an arbitration treaty. sail the philan- ——_~+ += ‘There will necessarily be some uneasiness among @ few naval employes, owing +o Mr. Roosevelt's habit of becoming familiar with the details of any work which he un- dertakes. ———_+ +e Japan ought to proceed with quiet thrift to husbend the taels paid by China instead of irviting complications likely to result in their being squandered. _— SO Oo Greece is aow watting with some anxiety to see whether the clamor for war is as vociferous in Constantinople as {t was in Athens a short time ago.

A Bibliologist. “Charley,” said young Mrs. Torkins at the conclusion of a discussion of domestic finances, “haven't I heard you say a great many times that what the country needs is a larger volume of circulating me- dium with which to do business.” “No doubt you have heard me say that.” “Well, Charley, dear; that being the case, don’t you think you ought to have given me a digger book of blank checks tha this?” + A Natural Indigaation. “I want to have this man court-mar- Ualed,” said the subordinate officer. “I doubt whether his offense is specifically provided for in any way, but something ought to happen to him.” “What did he do?” “He treats serious matters with undue levity. I had just remarked that the haughty foe would never make me quail, when I saw @ puff of smoke and dodged. He observed it, and with what I consider culpable fllppancy remarked: ‘The haughty foe may not make you quail; but it doesn’t have any trouble in making you duck.’ ” ——_-++____. Are We to Have Another Sugar Trust Scandal im the Senate? From the New York Herald. Of the meny indictments brought against the trusts the strongest is that of poisoning the fountains of justice by exerting undue influence with the state legislatures and in the national Congress. The country is still ringing with the scan- dal created by the Senate's partiality to the sugar truet when the Wilson tariff was un- der consideration and by the significant refusal of witnesses to answer questions touching the relation of “Senators from Havemeyer” with concurrent Wall street speculation in the shares of the trust. ‘That the Senate committee should at such a time as this deliberately double the amount of “protection” given to the sugar trust in the Dingley bill as sent from the House is an exhibition of courage (7) on the part of Mr. Jones of Nevada, and his associates that quite overshadows even their imposition of a heavy duty on hides in the interest of the cattle trust. ¢ * © The spectacle of a trust thus dominating the Congress of the United States must exert a tremendous reaction upon the mass- es and in a single month must do more to foster the eoclalistic spirit thet all the platform proj ists and fashionable preachers could effect in a century. As everybody remembers, the “Senators from Havemeyer” held up the whole country in 1894 until they got what they wanted, and to break the deadlock and relieve the coun- try the House was compelled to accept the bill as it passed the nate without the change of a single comma. Was that “‘pol- icy of perfidy and dishonor” forgotten? Did it not swell the ranks of misguided voters who marched under the banner of populism last autumn? And now it is intimated that these high handed and revolutionary tactics are to be repeated, and that the managers of Untforeseen. “Before I married her,” he said, thought- fully, “I vowed that I would punish any- body who brought a tear to her bright eyes.” “And you kept your word, of course.” “Not precisely.
