4 — THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON WEDNESDAY..............May 26, 1997. CROSBY 8. NOYES. ..........- mdttes. THE EVENING STAR has « regular and permanest Family Circulation much more tham the combined cir- culation of the other Washingto: daflics. As a News and Advertising Medium 1t has ne competitor. delays, om ac- ence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with t ice, but simply to THE STAR, or the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Naming the School Buildings. Authoritative attention should soon be Paid to the matter of the names of the Bublic school buildings of the District, which are at present designated with a curious and illogical array of titles. A correspondent whose letter is printed today Te-suggests the advisability of giving to one of these structures the name of L’En- fant, whose work is immortalized in the beauty of the capital city, and whose name is inseparably associated with the District. In connection with this letter will be found a statement showing the sources of the rames of all the buildings, and it is almost certain that many of these will be a reve- lation not only to the pupils who attend the schools, but to some of the oldest resi- dents in Washington. The titles have been given by successive boards of Commission- ers or District authorities in haphazard fashion, the only attempt at system being the choice of the names of practically all the Presidents of the United States. The rames of mayors of Washington and Georgetown have been chosen apparently without reference to any rule or order, while some other buildings have been dubbed with the names of obscure persons whose fame is not even local. Twenty-two of these schools are called after their sec- tional sites, though evea here no absolute ale appears to have been laid down. Thus many opportunities are now at hand to supply some of the obvious omissions such as that which the correspondent suggests. A more‘ pertinent proposition is yet to be made im this line. Inasmuch as there stems to be a tendency to commemorate the services to the city and District of former local rulers, some of whom are yet living, it is proper that the name of ex- Governor Alexander R. Shepherd, whose intrepid genius gave to the plaas of L'En- fant their beautiful interpretation and who laid by his efforts and forethought the foundation of the Washington of today, should be given this small meed of recog- jon. Many men of far less weight in the Jocal scale have been thus horored. Some of those already selected for this purpose en account of their local services have long ago passed from even a limited recol- lection, while Shepherd, whose name will aiways be closely associated with the city, bas not received even this slight tcken of appreciation from the community that to- day owes so much to him. Nor has there Leen paid to him the compliment of any form of public memorial such as the nam- ing after him of a city street or avenue. As the case stands today the sole municipal token of his great work is an obscure alley, seidom mentioned save in the Police Court, which bears the name of “Shepherd.” ——_ + +e _____ cr Streets in Daylight. Gne consideration of the proposal to cleaa the streets of Washington by hand, recently submitted to the Commissioners, should not escape attention. The present method of night work, which alone is pos- sible when machines are used, especially in summer, gives the streets their cleanest su eS at the hours when they are of the Jeast use, namely, in the very early hours ef the morning. It is the usual experience that these -spick-and-span thoroughfares ere dirtied with the first traffic of the day, and that at no time after 8 o’cleck or thereabouts until past midnight do the cit- izens enjoy really clean streets. The em- ployment of the hand method permits day work, so that at no time during the hours of light can the streets become very dirty, and the greatest accumulation of refuse occurs at the hours when now, un- der the machine system, the surfaces are cleanest and least in evidence or in use. This is a direct advantage, especially on those thoroughfares that are in frequent use during the day, and which are within the sight of thousands of passers-by. Most of the great citics of Europe present this cleanly appearance throughout the day- light hours, and it is to this fact that they owe much of their reputation for beauty and attractiveness. ————_~+ ee —__ As often happens when a young man is advanced to prominence on the eve of a Severe political struggle, there are some coubts as to whether Mr. Lemuel Ely Quigg, the new republican leader of Greater New York, should be congratulated or con- éoled with. —+ee—_____ It looks as if Mr. Croker intends to Postpone interference in the management of Tammany until it ean be more definitely ascertained whether or not there is going to be anything to divide up. —reo—___.

Mr. Vest, who is a ready and felicitous speaker, and sums up like a trained lawyer, hit the nail on the head with one word re- specting Mr. Aldrich’s elaborate explana- tion of the amended tariff bill. It is “in- genious.” It reads smoothly. But it does not bear examination. To particularize: With reference to the Proposed increase of the tax on beer, Mr. Aldrich simply shows how much money can be derived from that source, and takes the ground that the beverage can stand it. He ignores entirely the position of his party with regard to taxation. Last year’s battle ‘Was won on the issue of protection, which means, if anything, the collection of rev- enue at the customs houses. An increase of iiternal reverue is no part of a protec- tion policy. That way may be made to lead to tree trade. Mr. Aldrich has simply cut down protection rates in the Dingiey bill, made up the difference by an additional tax on beer and a tax on tea, and now presents the proposition in the Hght of siving the party choice between a bill which with the becr and tea taxes will yield a surplus, but without them wil! yield a deficiency of rev- enue. It was in that way the income tax was crammed down the throats of the democrats in the Fifty-third Congress. The party had never declared for an income tax, and such a tax had no proper place in © bill drawn in obedience to the Chicago . platform of 1992; but the tax was incorpor- Bted into the Wilson bill and forced through “Congress with the threat that, without it, ‘the bill would not raise revenue enough. The matter of the differential sugar duty ~for the benefit of refiners is arrayed in the bewildering habil'ments of expert tables and comparisons. But Mr. Aldrich will be Met on that score successfully by some ‘very carefully prepared tables which flatly @isprove his tables. Mr. Aldrich’s figures are misleading. Mr. Dingley had had cal- culations made before Mr. Aldrich took up the subject. and Mr. Dingley’s figures con- ‘ciustvely show that the rate allowed by the HHeuse bill is amply sefficient to protect the sugar-refining interests in this country. Mr: Akirich himself is quoted as declaring Im caucus that the House rate is the better for, the refining. interests. Then why the a a cal al Sate Res NY re lo lg lat OU lst asi loads ei lalate lanes emmapneeesapsieiosesaeeeniecaaiaceaeetsaeee cocaiaciaeneeenee tonieenetrcaemmeensenr ieee eee’ octal ee ae ce change? Mr. Aldrich thinks that the sugar refining interests of the United States are entitled to consideration, and none the less so because they are centered in a few hands. He really has fears that the Ger- man refiners, who are marching to victory in all other markets, may, unless the guard is high enough, march to victory over here. And yet, im thg face of this danger, Mr. Aldrich would adopt a sugar schedule less terviceable to the refining ivterests of this country than that of the House bill! But it is not until the Hawaiian rect- procity treaty is reached that Mr. Aldrich takes the rag off the bush. His propost- tion as to that is that the American people do not care to longer pay a bounty of seven or eight million dollars a year to Hawaiian sugar planters. Therefore he would take steps to change the terms of the treaty. Mr. Aldrich knows full well that that is not an honest statement of the case. The American people are paying no bounty to the Hawaiian sugar planters, but, on the contrary, are reaping great advantages from a reciprocity treaty which deals most generously with American products in Ha- wail, and which attracts here the most valuable Hawaiian trade. All of this with- out regard to existing political conditions, which lead the great majority of the American people to desire the annexation of the Hawaiian islands. What authority has Mr. Aldrich for speaking for the American people on this point? How many of those people appeared in person, or by proxy, before his subcommittee and asked for this stab at the treaty? And who were they? And what arguments did they em- ploy to bring the subcommittee to their view of the question. Mr. Aldrich has yet to disclose his plan for changing the treaty. But that is of no consequence. His real aim is to kill the treaty, and the Senate should so take note. The Dingley bill as it passed the House was a fair ana just and workable redemp- tion of the tariff promise contained in the St. Louis platform. Mr. Aldrich’s manipu- lation of the measure is a juggle in special jaterests which the republican party can- not afford to adopt. It is a Trust measure, lcaded with peril, and certain if adopted to cost the republican party the confidence of the country. ————_++e— More News Direct From Cuba. Another letter from The Star’s special Cvban correspondent, printed today, adds to the mass of detailed evidence of Spanish incapacity in the island.

But think of us havin’ to go to the trouble of puttin’ on de gloves an’ gittin’ into de ring before dey kin git any pictures to exhibit.” An Assurance. “Of course,” said the man of genius, “you understand that I devote myself exclusive- ly to art in its highest applications.” “This is right in your line,” replied Mr. Cumrox, encouragingly. “What I want is to have a couple of ceilings frescoed.” Feared She Had Missed Something. The woman who always looked tired had stopped in the middle of the floor and was looking with knitted brows into the dis- tance. “Well,” said her husband, “what are you worrying about now?” * “Dear me!” she exclaimed, a little startled, “I guess worrying has simply got to be my way. I was worrying then because I couldn’t think of anything to worry about.” An Up-to-Date Wooer. “Alas, ‘tis true,” said he, “that I am all un- known to fame; No paper prints my picture and no bard ex- tols my name. But proudly I am mentioned in one book; and if, some day, You've time I wish you'd notice that my ae is O.K. Commercially Speaking. “There's one thing to be said about Gen- eral Weyler,” said a Madrid business man, “and that is that he realizes the power of printers’ ink.” “Yes,” was the reply. “But what's the use of his advertising pacifications if he can't produce the goods.” A Formal Occasion. Give me my Sunday clothes, mother; the frock coat newly bought; It’s very important for me today to be dressed just as I ought. Look out for the buttons of my shirt and T'll call it the best of boons If you'll fasten my pink suspenders to my lavender pantaloons. Hand me my choicest necktie—the one I bought myself— And anoint my head with the bay rum which you'll find upon the shelf. In the finest point of elegance you must see that I do not fail, For I’m going to call at the jail, mother; T'm going to cali at the jail. Give me the collar, mother, that will hold my chin up high; Likewise procure my monocie and fasten it in my eye. Take out my patent leather shoes and have them dusted well, And send for a bunch of violets to pin on my coat lapel. Telephone for the barber my classic face to shave And buy me a book on etiquette for fear that I'll misbehave; And do not worry if I should seem with excitement to turn pale, For I’m going to call at the jail, mother; T'm going to call at the jait. —————-o-—_____ ‘The Omntpotent Sugar Trust.
