THE EVENING STAR has a regolar and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. yin order to xvoid delays, on ac- f personal absence, letters to STAR should not be addressed indivi vd with the ut simpl Editeriat Depart- ments, necording to tenor or purpose. unable to of wheat, The silver i are utt explain the rise in the price at the same time maintain their argume of last year. The ablest of them, including Mr. Jones of Nevada and Mr. Teller, have ventured upon the task, but all have failed. All are forced to confess thai the national law of supply and demand does apply in the present price of wheat. But such a confession could not have beer. wrung from them a year ago. Then they were contend- ing, almost fiercely, that wheat was low sole because money was scar Ine the volume of money, they insisted, and wheat would go up.

Iver had been struck down. By that act alf of the money of redemption of the world had been destroyed, and hence low prices followed for everything. ed out wheat for illustration, wheat, obeying the spurned law of supply and demand, goes to the dollar mark. Short crops abroad, which create a demand for the American wheat supply, knock the spots out of the illustration, and force a confession from-the silver leaders which completely disjoints all of the fine-spun theories upon which they tried to put Mr. Bryan into the White House. There is instruction in this for one side as well as for the other. Neither side can afford to forget or to deny the fact that the natural law of supply and demand does apply in the matter ‘of prices. The enactment of the Dingley law was a wise act because the government needed a sutfi- cient revenue for its support, and exp: ence had taught the effectiveness of a pro- tective tariff in building up the industries of the country. Business is greatly im- proved and prosperity is returning because jaw and the of the necessity of such a sense of security growing out of it. But it cannot, of course, be contended that the we of the Dingley law, or the re, n of free silver last November, has ad- anced the price of wheat, or may be ex- d to keep wheat at all times at a high figure. That is something regulated by a higher law than any law of Congress. With the food supply of Europe cut short by the partial failure of the foreign crops, the value of the abundant crops of this coun- try is necessarily enhanced, and prices ri But if, next year, the granaries everywhere are full to ting, the prices of food crops will necessarily be lower than in a year of partial failure of those crops. And this without regard to the amount of money with the stamp of government upon it ‘n existence here or elsewhere. nt The Wrangle in Virginia. The meeting of the republican state com- mitte2 of Virginia at Lynchburg yesterday disclosed a very ugly factional quarrel. ‘The theory upon which this let-alone policy 1s based Is that the anarchists are safest when given full vent, that to bottle them | up by suppression is to make them dan- gerous. Behind this is the general notion that the United States is the “land of liberty,” and as such, must give tolerance to the mouthings of all who take the name of that great principle as their shobboleth, however much in vain. Of some types of agitators this doctrine may safely be en- tertained, but it is to be borne in mind that the anarchists are today the most ex- trem: radical of ail the disciples of un- rest. Their mission is destruction, anni- hilation, dead-levelling. They seek no creative ends, no good purposes, no humane ideals. Their standards are in their very essence unholy and unwholesome. They must. be excepted from the “lovers of lib- ert to whom wide latitude is to be given in speech in America, else, in time, em- boldened by the freedom granted by in- | dulgent governors, mayors and police | authorities, they will imagine their cause to be popular and act to the injury of the public and themselves upon this mistaken belief. It is true that the majority of the people will always be found on the side of law and order as zgainst the political chaos to which the anarchists point as the haven of man- kind. If ever the “Reds” should rise in re- volt against government in this country the struggle would be brief and anarchism would be stamped upon as a thing un- can. Is there harm or danger, then, in per- miiting these radical reformers to assemble epenly in mass meetings to denounce the esses of government and the agents whorn the people, directly or indirectly. have chosen to represent and rule them? Great harm and great danger! It is no ex- cise for permitting children to play with matches to declare that the parent stands by with a bucket of water at hand to avench the flames the little ones may start. It is beyond seli-respect for a community to allow its fever-brained extremists to meet brazenly to revel over an interna- tional calamity. It breeds disrespect for the law and its officers to permit such a spectacle as that afforded at Clarendon Hall the other night. All such assemblages are disorderly in intent and in fact. If they violate no specific ordinance, they abuse the privileges of citizenship. They encourage the skulking believers in anarch- ism to play their petty tricks against or- derly residents: they increase the ranks of common criminals and add to the list of murderers and incendiaries. The criminal and debased mind is stimulated by such episodes and the city that permits them suffers inevitably in many ways. In 1886 the anarchists of Chicago became rabid and open in their public utterances through long indulgence. One night, when these aliens and their American allies had planned a great rally at which the whole machinery of government was to be torn asunder by a rhetorical explosion, the po- lice interfered. At the word of command to disperse a bomb was thrown and many men were killed and wounded. That trag- edy marked the beginning of the inevitable ine of anarchism in America. The pub- patience had been stretched to the Once more indulgence and tolerance have contributed to foster the spirit of enarchism until it is again po ble for the Reds to meet without restraint in the heart of a great and supposedly pro- gres community and to vaunt their centempt for che law and their bellef in as: nation as a remedy for political evils. Will there be another Haymarket riot? Is New York preparing for a tragedy lie breaking point. An Admirable Quality. The President is making no slight sacri- fice of persoral comfort in the liberality with which he grants interviews even dur- ing the time specifically announced as de- voted to a well-earned rest. The loss of ease he thus sustains, h er, brings its reward. It is no small thing to have the reputation of being approachable. The qualit not Gepend on a mere readi- ness for rifice. It is as distinctiy a gift as an ear for music or the knack of picture-making. Solitude is a simple and nal refuge frem embarrassment. To ‘The public at large will be less interes’ in the details than in the fact that no rez can campaign will be made year, and that by a fra and will & laws are repealed.

A letter had been expected uggestions of some kind as to gn or a reference to the uncon- srt of his intention not to stand n for the Senate. But no word what- was received from him. The com- iitee’s work was quickly dispatched, re- say in a pérfunctory way, and ad- journment follow only was Mr, Gorman absent from meeting, but so also was Mr. Raisin, ng-time and efficient Baltimore lieu- , who for years had marked success manipulation of Baltimore politics. € at Saratoga, and presumably are conference over the general situation ot Improbably, therefore, they will in time be heard from, notwithstand- ing their absence from yesterday's meeting, Mr. Gorman is moving with extreme caution, and in doing so confesses to the very great ditficulties that surround him. He has never taken quite so much time j before to prepare himself for action. He 4s never before met with such discour- agement on the threshold of a campaign. }ils fitst moves have failed signally ve taining the camp firmed re in \ utterly, And this justifies his extreme care rot to attempt another without the most thorough preparation. If he fails in his next move, whatever it may be, his pres- tige for the campaign will be all but de- stroyed. It is recorded that no enthusiasm marked yesterday's meeting; that the democratic hope of success seemed based less upon democratic strength than upon republican weakness, as manifest@l in the factional fighting in progress throughout the state. In other words, the democrats, aware of their own divisions, are yet trusting that republican divisions may prove the more serious and that the republicans will de- stroy themselves. It will be strange if this does not have its effect in the effort to bring the republican factions together. They have been indulging in a very lively shindy, but if the point has been reached where the opposition to sound money is relying for success on their keeping it up until their destruction is accomplished they would do well to lay aside shillalahs and shake hands. ——+>+e—___ In view of the fact that people cannot get away during the long hard Alaskan winter, it would be prudent for some of the investors there to give up digging for gold and open a few coal mines so The results attained by the currency com- mission in Europe have not been so con- spicuovs as to call upon Mr. Eckels to for- bear from doing what he can to straighten out the currency system. —~+ «2 ___ The young king of Spain is one of the people who may, in after years, be vx- cused for not leoking back on his boy- hood days with feelings ef sentimental re- gret. —————»+2____ The promptness with which the case of the assassin of Canovas is being disposed of affords convincing evidence that there is no legitimate excuse for a lynching. ——>+e____ SHOOTING STARS. Remains to Be Seen. “I suppese that Longshot will be too proud to speak to anybody when he comes back from the Klondike gold fields.” “You can’t tell,” replied Mr. Sinnick. “It all depends on whether he is in a condi- tion to borrow cr lend money.” Danger. “Are the consequences of the duel likely to be serious to our friend?” “I'm afraid so.” “I thought the wound was slight.” “It was. But the physician gave him some medicine which didn't agree with him.” Protecting Their Interests. It was at the summer resort where there was only one young man. “That young woman is wonderfully popu; lar,” said the middle-aged man. What makes you think so?" inquired his wife. ‘Ali the other girls are crowding to the station to bid her good-bye. “Oh, they aren't really going for the sake of bidding her good-b They want to make sure that she doesn’t carry away the engagement ring.” A Forcboding Dismixsed. The price of wheat pursues its way, So let contentment rule, Nor fear that next Thanksgiving day Will turn to “April fool.” Desirable. “It's perfectly disgraceful!’ she ex- claimed. “What's the matter?” inquired her hus- band. “Here's a description of a woman who gets up m public and declares herself an anarchist.” “Well,” was the rejoinder, “maybe it’s all fr the best. I believe I'd like to women crowd the males out of the anar- chist business. When they threw bombs they wouldn’t be so likely to hit anybody.” Transformation. When first the youth bestrode the wheel, It did him wondrous service. No more distempers did he feel. No longer was he nervous. With stooping shoulders, truth to state, He ceased to be afflicted. In perfect health he stood up straight, As is below depicted: But now his days and nights are spent With feet upon the pedals. Across the handle-bar is bent His bosom full of medals. If still adown the road he goes And leaves all else behind him, This melancholy likeness shows What we ere long will find him: —_- + ee —___. Success of the Underground Trolley. o Post. hington dispatches yesterday unt of a severe test of the je street railway system of the capital. In the space of forty min- utes one day last week two inches of rain fell, filling the conduits between the rails and in some places covering the tracks themselves to a depth of twelve to fifteen irches. As water is a good conductor the electricity in. the 5 was carried off faster than th s could furnish it and the yatem came to a standstill. This weuld have been a great triumph for the cpponents of the undergr system had not the sequel proved that the filling of the conduits was entirely due to carelessne! Had proper attention been paid to keeping the traps connecting them with the sewers free from leaves and other debris there would have been no trouble, for as soon as these outlets were opened the water ran off and the cars were started again on schedule time and experienced no From the Chica; In our Was appeared an underground cle 8 agree that the storm was the t to which the underground sy: r been subjected in this coun- try and that it demonstrated satisfactorily that this method is preferable to overhead wires, which could never have stood the strain of such a combination of water and atmospheric electricity.

From the Philadelphia Star. The utilization of garbage question is again cn the tapis, with apparently as little prospect as ever of being brought to a con- clusion that will settle the long mooted question. It is a subject with which more municipal cities than ours have been wrest- ling for many years. The fertilizing value of the garbage of a great city like Phils delphia should, in these days when manur- ial material is in such strong request, be valuable, and we hope the sanitary authorities will for health as well as econ- sake persevere in their endeavors to a method by which such a vast amount of fertil. zing material may be saved, and the health of the city improved also. —_+ +2 ____.
