THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation the combined eir- [71m order to avoid delays, on ac- count of person: letters to THE STAR should not be addressed 1 connected with the THE STAR, or to jusiness Depart- ments, aecording to tenor or purpose. Lobbying im the Senate. In the April Forum Mr. Hoar replied to some criticisms as to the degeneracy of the Senate, and championed the body ot which he is a member with some warmth and at some length. He insisted that not only was the Senate of today composed of mon of excellent capacity and character. Lut, instituting a comparison between this day and days of the past as to personal deportment of senators and the atmosphere surrounding that body, he held that the record, instead of degeneracy, actually showed improvement in the sitvation here. In support of his contention, Mr. Hoar. among other things, noted a greatly im- preved courtesy in debate. He cited some of the rasping personalities indulged in by some of the foremost senators forty and fifty years ago, and asserted that such things were quite impossible now. He men- tioned the fact that intoxication, which was all too common among public men at an earlier day, was now very rare. He Insist- ed. too, that it was possible now to discuss more subjects and at greater length than formerly, and he likewise held that lobby- ing for private ends, once so common and offensive. was now gone. In the light of Mr. Hale’s resolution, and of what many other Senators are well aware of, it would be interesting tu know upon what Mr. Hoar based his observa- Mons about the decay of lobbying In and around the Senate chamber. Mr. Hoar is aot a blind man. Neither is he deaf or dull. He 1s an active man, and one of the most prominent and influential members of the 3enate. And yet he thinks that lobbying has ceased. Mr. Hale, who sits next him In the Senate, has observed it growing so rapidly he prblicly moves to check it, whtle Mr. Allen, who sits on the ot%er side of the chamber, complains that lobbyists are so thick around the Capitol Senators cannot move about with comfort. How does Mr. Hoar account for this difference of opiniot Or does he wish us to believe that, in com- parison with the old days, lobbying at this day is a mere bagatelle? Hardly that. Mr. Hoar ts not a humorist. The truth ts that in defending the Senate Mr. Hoar—himself far above all suspicion— simply repelled without discrimination, and In a spirit of generosity, everything that had been advanced in criticism of that body, or of its members as individuals. That position is not tenable. While the Benate is at times unduly and unfairly criticised, at other times criticism levelled against it is entirely within bounds and fully justified. In certain particulars, and with regard to the practices of certain men, there has been a change for the worse of recent years. Fifty years ago or thereabouts the Sen- ate, aside from the giants like Webster, Clay, and Calhoun, was made up of pretty big men. There were such men as Wm. L. Marcy, Silas Wright, Choate, Winthrop, Clayton, Frelinghuysen, Dayton, Buch- anan, Dallas, Hamilton Fish, Dix, Seward, George E. Badger, Reverdy Johnson, Wm. YP. Mangum, Berrien, John Bell, Douglass, ‘Tom Corwin, Jotm J. Crittenden, Mason, ‘Thomas H. Benton, Lewis Cass and so on. It is impossible, indeed, to conceive of men like these using their places to enrich themselves with secrets obtained in office, or, upon their retirement from office, hir- ing out to rich corporations to push their interests before Congress with the aid of privileges they enjoyed as ex-officials. Insulting language in debate ts simply bad manners, and defeats itself. The ap- pearance of a prominent official in public in a state of intoxication is a shocking thing, but only the individual himself is tnjured. It is well that the Senate of today is spared buth of chose things, and Mr. Hoar did well in calling attention to the fact. But they are insignificant offenses, although deplorable, in comparison with that to which Mr. Hale's resolution cal!s attention. Lobbying by ex-efficials among their former associates is reprehensible in the extreme. It ought not longer to be tolerated. It is calculated to bring the most sericus discredit upon the entire Sen- ate, when, a:. a matter of fact, the large majcrity of that body is composed of men of unimpeachable integrity and ability, whom the country today trusts and re- spects. Mr. Hale is on the right tack, and should be vigorously supported. The Senate ought te cleanse itself, and then keep clean. —_ ++2e—____ The Star's Quick Work Yesterday. Yesterday's boat race at Poughkeepsie was an item of great interest to very many Washingtonians, including, of course, the graduates of the three colleges whose crews competed, as well as all lovers of sport. The Star undertook to satisfy the curiosity of these thousands by making every possible effort to present the result of the race without the least delay and it succeeded as it is possible for few papers in this country to succeed. Within ten minutes from the instant that the race was finished in the Hudson river the re- sult was announced in a postscript edition of The Star which reached over a third of its regular readers and was cried on the streets with such enterprise that in a short time the entire city was acquainted with the facts. —_++e—_____ The evanescence of popular interest is shown by the probability that ex-President Cleveland has gone fishing several times of late without being pursued by any re- porters. ——_- e+ ___ Cornell. Cornell's easy victory over Yale and Har- vard yesterday in the ‘varsity race at Poughkeepsie was a great surprise to the boating fraternity. The preliminary esti- mates of the three crews led the general epinon to favor Harvard as the most Ukely winner, with Yale a good seccond a Cornell at best only a dark horse. se calculatiens were based upon con- siderations of form, training and coaching. The Cornell crew was lightest. The fresh- man race Wednesday served to prove the belief that “beef in the boat” will general- ly win. Yesterday’s result completely dis- Proved it. So the victory must have been due to other causes than those springing from the mere weight of the oarsmen. Cornell rowed the typically American stroke, a long slide and comparatively It- tle back work. Harvard rowed the equally typical stroke of English oarsmen, a short slide and a long pull of the back. Yale rowed more of an English than an Ameri- can stroke, indicative of the international views of her trainer. Much dependence had been placed in the careful coaching of Lehmann, the English trainer, while Court- ney’s methods had been regarded by the “knowing” ones as inferior to those of Cook and Lehmann. But Courtney’s lads proved themselves superb oarsmen. They rowed away from their competitors as easi- ‘ly as though opposed by novices. The famous Yale spurt did not serve to bring the wearers of the blue to even terms at any point in the race, while Harvard's men soon pumped themselves out and were never in the race at all. The after-effects showed that Cornell's men were in finer form than those of Harvard or Yale. Though winners they were freshest of the lot, while Harvard's boat was filled with half-fainting fellows. This result may in- dicate that the English coaching methods, excellent as they undoubtedly are, can not be safely applied, to an American crew without putting them through a thorough course of regular English training. In other words, it may be that the English stroke must be used by either an English crew or by an American crew that has had the benefit of a year or more of thorough training work along the characteristic Eng- lish lines. The principles upon which the two schools of training are based are radi- cally different. The English oarsman when once “fit” is “fit” for the season. His ts a broad condition of good health, muscular development and endurance. The Ameri- can, on the other hand, is carefully, scten- tifically, brought up to a high point of fit- ness. He ts edged off as keenly as a razor, ready for the particular event for which he is trained. The American can row a great race at the climax of his training and then, unless great care is exercised,. may go backward, whereas the Englishman can continue to row all the season in his aver- age form. But whatever the differences may be, it is now demonstrated that the first attempt to introduce English methods of coaching into American collegiate row- ing has not proved successful. It may have Leen, as Lehmann said, that his crew did not possess the physical endurance that he had estimated. If so, where were his eyes that he did not detect the fault in physical condition, or the weak points in his men that contributed to yesterday’s collapse? But, after all, the race illustrates that boating is uncertain and therein Hes one of its greatest charms. If Cornell should win from Columbia and Pennsyl- vanla next Friday she will stand as the unrivalled champion of America and there would be nothing more interesting than a thatch between her crew and the best oars- men that England can assemble in a boat. —____+-»—____ General Woodford and Cuba. A Madrid newspaper has seized upon a speech made by General Woodford some twenty-five years ago, delivered during the ten years’ war for Cuban frecdom, and argues from the sentiments then expressed that General Woodfcrd is not, or should not be, acceptable as this country’s rep- resentative at the Spanish court. The sen- timents complained of were very gener- ally held in the United States at that time. ‘This country sympathized then, as it sympathizes now, with Cuba's effort to throw off the Spanish yoke. General Wood- ford was then, as he now is, a representa- tive American citizen. If he were not a friend of freedom he would be unworthy of, and would not have received, his pres- ent assignment. This sert of talk from Spanish sources shows -how utterly unable the Spanish People are to comprehend the represen- tative sentiment of the country on the subject of Cuba. It is practically all one way. Only here and there may be found a champion of Spain, in her war on Cuba, in the United States; a mere corporal’s guard. The people, in office and out of cffice, condemn the Spanish policy as bar- barous and unworthy of the age, and want it stopped. The new American minister, if he is to serve his people properly, must, in the nature of things, represent this sen- timent. The question of his being persona grata to Spain, while important, is not half so important as his being persona grata to his own people. Ir other words, if Spain should take the ground that only an American who in- dorses her policy toward Cuba should be chosen for the minister’s post at Madrid, that would be tantamount to terminating aM diplomatic relations between the two countries. Where would the President turn for such a man? What wouid the President be thinking of if he were to try to find such a man? And how many votes for confirmation would such a nomina- tion receive in the Senaté? Perhaps two— those of Mr. Hale and Mr. Wellington. Does anybody know of another? General Woodford is going to Madrid for busiress purposes, not to repeat in Spain Mr. Bayard’s performances in England. His pockets are not to be stuffed with svgar plums for Spanish consumption. There will be no outflow from his mouth of praise for Spain, and of dispraise of his own people. Spain is not to hear from him that the Americans are a turbulent people, who need the restraint of a strong hand, and in this Cuban matter are bois- terously all wrong, the victims of a crude and mistaken sentiment about liberty. ——++e—____ ‘The Problem Temporarily Solved. The difficulty over the District printing contract ts probably at an end now that a local firm has submitted the Jowest bid. But the trials of the Commissioners in this connection should urge Congress to act without delay at the next session in passing a bill restricting this work to local firms. Many reasons exist for the performance of this work within the immediate reach of the Commissioners. It consists mainiy of the tax list, the copy for which Is of great value and which may bz lest or mutilated in passing back and forth through the mails when the printing is done at a dis- tance. Much time is also wasted if the work is performed out of town. Many emergencies arise when printed matter is required by the Commissioners at such short notice that it is impossible to rely vpor. the contractor when he fs located tn another city and they must erter the open market with the job and thus add to the annual expense. But above all is the fact that the local firms, fully capable of hand- ling the work, should in all fairness and justice receive the benefit of these public expenditures. Their bids have always proved to be reasonable and their work has been well done. The Commissioners have asked for the passage of a law that will permit them to advertise for an exclusively local performance and their request should be granted, after the exhibition that has been given of the difficulties that arise under the present state of affairs. ———qj7~ When Washirgton contemplates the glories which gather upon its base ball club it is very hard to bear in mind the fact that the spirit of mortal should not be proud. —>eo—__ If Gen.

He calls attention to the fact that the park spaces in the north- east are limited when compared with those in other sections of the eity, but even aside from this fact Congress should not permit the acquisition by this or any other private corporation of even the smallest bit of ground originally xet apart for park purposes. As Colonel Bingham Indicates, there is no reason why the tres- pass of this railroad—in itself a reprenen- sible act that cught to subject the road to @ penalty—should be made permanent, thus damaging the beauty of the city beyond repair. His statement that “the beau- tfying of the national capital is more desirable for the nation than the mere lceal conventence of a corporation” is so true and so Applicabls to many other in- stances of encroachments upon the public Spaces that it should be made a text for - THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, JUNE 26, 1897-24. PAGES. next year’s campaign in Congress for cer- tain local betterments and reforms. The Policy of the railroad company is well de- fined. It is to secure free all the space it can, pay for as little as possible, act with the greatest dilatoriness in complying with the demands of the citizens and the legislature, and postpone indefinitely if Possible the abolition cf the grade cross- ings that at present make living precarious in more than one section of the city. Un- der such circumstances it is most unwise to yield in the least to the railroad com- panies that occupy the streets of the city and refuse to act In accordance with the public demand for improvements. The old adage about the giving of an inch leading to demands for an ell was never more aptly true. It. is well, therefore, that the War Department has spoken thus emphatically and has advised Congress so strenuously against ytelding further to the railroad company. Coupled with this recommendation is a bit of astute advise that, as an alternative, should be borne in mind in case it is decided to ignore the excellent reasons urged against the passage of the bill. “If, however, Cen- gress in its wisdom,” Colonel Bingham concludes, ‘deems the reservation no longer necessary for park purposes, pro- vision should be inserted for appraisement by proper parties, under the direction of the Secretary of War, and its sale by pub- lic auction.” In other words, if a bar- gain is to be driven it should be made just as hard for the trespasser as possible. If the purks are to be sacrificed they should bring gilt-edged prices.
