WASHINGTON. MONDAY... CROSBY S. NOY THE EVENING STAR has a regolar and permanent Family Circulation t cir- dailies. As a News and Advertisi Medium it has no competitor. t7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- absence, letters to not be addressed aI connected with the simply to THE STAR, or to Editorial or Business Depart- the ments, aceording to tenor or purpose. Labor's Day for Recrea or day in the District is marked this year by ne Cemonstraticns on the part of - thousands of toilers im whose honor lay has be t apart by congressional enactrrent.. The various organizations have gene atout their holiday-making in dif- ferent directions and with varying pro- grams, but all with the intent of mak- ing this a day of recuperation from toil. It is, of course, more than this. Even here, where no parades or public speeches teach the lessen of the greatness of labor in America, the public thought is arrested to contemplate its power and its dignity as well as its necessities and its aspira- ticns. The chief reeson why there is no demon- stration here today reflects credit upon the local trade organizations. They have voted to donate for the benefit of the miners who are on the eve of accomplish- ing a peaceful victory in Pennsylvania, Ohio and other states the money that in former years has been spent in defraying the expenses of a parade and other usual features of this celebration. This action typefies the central thought of labor unions of all classes and forms. Mutual ald is the key note of the platform upon which the werkirgmen band together. Self-pro- tection all means contributions from every class for the help of others. So it is highly significant that Labor day in the District should lose some of its spec- tacular features this year. Th> strike among the miners is approaching a conelu- sion that is satisfactory to the leaders of the men and to the operators of the mines. The men h yet to accept th> terms of the agreement. Tod events and the sentiments that are uttered in the various tr rs ameng the strikers may have jon. Lal marked bearing upon the result of th jatest endeavor to secure an agreement without strife. It is the hope of all true friends of the laboring men that the mine will cast their votes for acceptance, for per- haps in alone can they secure their ends without involving the dang: of radical measures by some of the more bot-headed individuals among the leaders and the followers. A peacefully won st = step in advance for labor. A strike that is to ricting and bloodshed is a blow to 2 effectiveness of the organizations. Labor day here finds the workmen gen- erally weil contert with their condition, and especially with their prospects. The past year has been one of good feeling be- tween employers and employed. It was a dull year in many lines, ard it might read- ily have been marked by friction among the working and the work-hiring classes, yet by good fortune and good management, dictated by good sense, the best of rela- tions prevailed. It is in keeping with the course of the times, and the gradually re- viving spirit of prosperity that the di should be spent in pleasure making, sports and games and recreation. —___ + +e___. General Lee's Visit Home. Géneral Lee, now en route home from Havana, comes at an opportune time. Min- ister Woodford will soon present his cre- dentials to the Spanish government, and the Cuban question will again become acute. What the new minister's instruc- ticns on that questien are is not known, but the best conjecture on the subject seems to have been accepted on both sides of the water. The newspapers and poli- ticlans of Spain are so certain that ad- will bo made looking to an rly of the war in Cuba that they ini ve suggested to the ministry the proper reply. The United States should be firmly and none-too politely told to mind its own business; that Spain will continue to deal with her own in her own way. Hut whether predictions are vezritied to in vances ending already the letter or not, it seems certain that a rew ¢ er in the Cuban matter is about to er id such being the case, it is most a¢visable that the United States should be red with the fullest information up to te as to the condition of af- = in that island. And General Lee . prepared to furnish is the jata 1 best situation, and, moreover, th reason to know, views matters truly American standpoint. It is for congratulation, indeed, that at this time the whole of General Lee's in- f is to be available to the State ment in the ful! and free scope of 1 inte-views first notice of General Lee's yisit heme was accompanied by the 4 hat he would probably not return to his This is not confirmed at Department, but the belief is expressed that he wil go back. It is to be hoped that he, may. He nas been a most efficient repre- sentative of the government In Cuba. His has been t his judgment . and his pluck racial and He is identified indeed v State navy and the acquisition of necesary out- posts in tuth oceans to form the bases of naval operations in case of war by no means tend toward an aggressive policy such as this country has never contem- plated. They rather operate to create such respect for our powers on the part of other nations that the chances of an interna- tional strife are materially reduced. It is significant that these three expressions, drawn from such widely divergent sources as regards their environments and lines of thought, should converge upon the que point of the need of preparedness and of a certain degree of colonial expansion. One writer, basing his article on official under- standing acquired by his term as the head of the naval organization, gives specific reasons why the present naval force of the United States is not in proportion to the commercial and political interests of the nation. Another, writing as an officer cf the government but more pointedly as a patriotic citizen, indicates that the worli’s frontier line has shifted and that in view of present conditions Hawaii is a real necessity to the United States, and that with her acquisition a greater fighting power must be provided. The third, taking the stand-point of an individual member of the body politic, shows the need for the acquisition of both Hawaii and Cuba, coupling these possessions a3 being equally needful for the preservation of both Amer- ican peace and trade. There is much in- structive matter in these three articles. They sound a note of caution that, it is to be hoped, will soon inspire the national legislature to wise action. ——++2e—____. Two Forms of Diplomacy. There was recently a good deal of taik in’ Great Britain and in Europe about the “shirt-sleeve @iplomacy” of the United States. It grew out of a communication which Secretary Sherman had addressed to Lord Salisbury through the American am- bassader in London on the subject of re- epening the seal fisheries question. The tone of the communication was entirely clear. There was no beating about the bush. The position of Great Britain was not satisfactory to the United States, and this was so stated. The United States ae- sired a conference on the subject, end this was so stated. The communication found its way into print, and everybedy taking the trouble to read it was apprised of just exactly what it covered. But in Great Britain and in Europe this straightforward and entirely frank course was derided. It lacked the decoration and the hugger- mugger of the cld form. Nothing had been concealed, nothing left open to conjecture. Hence the newspapers and politicians across the water characterized it as “shirt- sleeve diplomacy. A leading topic now is the Franco-Rus- sian alliance. It is a matter which is to its precise terms calls for some secrecy, but :0 much secrecy has surrounded the whole of the negotiations that speculation ef all sorts is rife as to the compact. President Faure returns home and talks peace, while the French peopie, under the inspiration of the compact, which binds them, but of the terms of which they are in ignorance, talk war. The Germans, who are interested, are persuaded tht the French have no reason for their enthu- siasm. Prince Bismarck comments © terlstically on the subject. He is a diplo- mat of the old school, and, recalling the time when in his own day he executed a good deal of “fine work” in making phrases conceal or exaggerate facts and in- tentions, he is of opinion that Russia 1s “jollying” France. And so it goes. ‘The business has been conducted in the old style—the European style—and all is mys- tery and contradictory speculation and ¢x- pectation. This serves the purpose of showi1g that in the conduct of any of the diplomatic business of the United States ihe :0unda- bout mystery form will not do. The people of the country and their environment for- bid it. The open and direct form of up- proach and negotiation is the only possi's!e form. Imagine the President of the United States committing this government to a compact with a great power, or any power, upon terms unknown to the people of the country, and everywhere raising doubts as to their scope and desirableness! “Shirt-sleeve diplomacy” may have its Grawbacks, but it is an improvement for a free people on the art of constructing traps out of fine phrases and indirection. ——_+ e+ _____ The Capture of Hawkins. The capture of Hawkins, the safe opener, in Toronto was evidently due in a measure to the promptness with which the news of his crime and 2 desexjption of his appear- ance were sent to other cities, and par- ticularly to those of the foreign territory for which, it was reasonably believed, Hawkins would be most likely to head. Of course there were certain elements of good ae ea EA Ee luck in the captur Hawkins had the misfortune to lodge with a probationary peliceman, whose zeal in the service of the city was doubtless more acute than though he had passed his trial term. This coincidence led to the apprehension of the fugitive almost immediately. Hawkins showed his lack of appreciation of his op- portunities when he left the elty. Had | returaed t next morning to his post, r mained discreetly mute, and shown a sa! degree of interest in the robbery aml the pursuit of the thief, he would have had & much better chance to enjoy his plunder than under any other circumstances, for the evidence that connected him with the crime was mainly supplied by his absence. The collector of taxes and his bondsmen are to be congrayulated upon this lack of shrewdners on Hawkins’ part. Now let the police capture Dorsey Foultz. ———__~«-— The Constantinople correspondent of the f£ the American phase of the con- y In Cuba from the rut of mere com- | London Standard declares that the sultan a routine 19. the elevated and the czar have been in frequent consul- i sympathy and responsibility.

From three well-informed men, writing inde- pemlently and plainly from éiffering mo- tives, comes the warning that steps must Soom be taken to advance this country to the front rank of nations as regards its power on the seas, else the rapidly chang- ing international conditions will place it at a disaivantage. Ex-Secretary Herbert, President Procter of the Civil Service Com- mission ani Murat Halstead agree that the United States is now unprepared fer the elements that are tending to change her polit. and commercial relations with the rest of the world. The Star has heretofore pointed out that preparations for possible warfare are not indications that war is probable but are in the line of wise pre- “@ulevns to preserve the peace.

It look as ff the strike was to be closed without calling upon Mr. Debs to shed an- other drop of oratory. —— Glass Throwers. ‘The vicious practice of throwing glass in the public streets of the city is diffi- cult of remedy, but the action taken last week by Judge Mills in the Police Court in the case of an acknowledged offender should go a lorg way toward discouraging the bottle throwers. A fine of twenty dol- lars with the alternative of spending sixty days in jail was imposed and it was none too severe. Of all the refuse cast into the streets glass is the most dangerous. It punctures bicycle tires and thus causes pecuniary loss to scores and hundreds. It cuts the feet of horses even if one of these is not at hand there is ne possible excuse for the depositing of glass on the pavement. It is plain that the offenders are often actuated by unworthy motives. In many cases they seek deliber- ately to cause trouble for the bicycle riders. Some of them imagine that they are justified in thus “getting even” with the entire class cf wheel ubers because of some grievance caused by a collision with an individual rider. The great majority of wheelmen and wheelwomen in Washing- ton are careful. The scorchers are the ex- ception and they seem to be rapidly learn- ing the lesson of common sense. But even if the proportion of reckless riders was greater than it is there is no excuse for citizens taking the law into their own hands and scattering this dangerous ma- terial oter the public streets. The maxi- mum penalty should be enforced in every ‘case that is proved. It may be difficult to fasten guilt upon the right person, but if the police were inspired to a little more vigilance in investigating: the source of the glass that is strewn over hundreds of rods of the city’s streets each day a few more cases might readily be made and the nuisance would soon be materially abated. The matter appeals to parents and horse owners as well as to bicyclers and is well worth extra efforts on the part of the pa- trolmen. ——~++>____ It is plain that Varick Hawkins was un- duly impressed by the loose manner in which the tax-payers’ money is handled in cther cities. —++o—______ Mr. Platt is inclined to look at Mr. Low and make remarks about the manner in which amateurs are trying to gett into the boss business. SHOOTING STARS. Certain. “We didn’t get out a very good paper yesterday,” remarked an ultra-sensational editor. “Are you sure?” inquired the assistant. “Positive.

A Neediess Suggestion. “I hope,” said the woman who had just engaged a servant, “that you will know your place.” “I know it now,” was the reply. “I has lcoked it ovuh an’ got reffunces f'um yoh last help. I doesn’ go inter any place wif- out knowin‘ it.” An Ominous Phrase. “I hepe you will excuse what may seem to you to be a liberty,” said the young man. “Certainly,” replied the merchant. “I am sure that you will not presume on your pcsition as a trusted employe—" “It is just that that I desire to mention. I heard you speaking of me to one of your frends the other day as ‘a trusted em- picye,’ and I wanted to ask you as a spe- cial faver to call me something else. After all that’s been happening I can't help feeling that it causes me to be re- garded with a suspicion which I do not Geserve.” Contrariness, “Dolan,” said that gentleman’s wife, “ye're the conthrariest man thot walks, an’ O1'll prove it be ye’re own words.” “Oi defy ye.” “Will ye answer me wan question, then?” “Oi will.” “Hew did ye celibrate Labor day?” * “Be knockin’ off work an’ doin’ nothin’.”" Halcyon Days.

From Printer and Bookmaker. Newspaper men are recognizing the grow= ing importance of the evening journal, and it is not uncommon for those who make up morning papers, the editors and reporters, to tell how much they can condense from the evening papers for the next day edition. The exchanges a morning paper refers to or reads are the journals of the preceding evening. Tal the leading evening papers of any prominent American city, read them, and then consider how much essential news you ve got first from the latter. We say this people are apt to be non-critical, call their attention to the fact that the world’s business is done in .daytime— ‘ht. so often overlooked that men read tomorrow what is in the evening paper and give the latter no credit. In the matter of reading critically the newspapers one is reminded of the famous saying of St. James in holy writ: “He is like unto a man be holding his natural face in a glass. For he beholdeth himself and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.” Think of this the next time you compare newspapers of the morn- ing and evening kind. —____ e+ ____ Demonetization of Gold. From the Minneapelis Times. There is ground for the belief that the time is approaching when the abundance of gold may compel commercial nations to demonetize that metal, and set up sil- ver, or some other precious metal, as the standard of values. There+sis perhaps no imminent danger of such a condition, but if all the predicticns of geological experts should happen to be verified, it must come to pass. At ieast, there is a strong prob- ability that the time is not distant when the free and unlimited coinage of gold will no longer be possible, and the restricted coinage of the yellow metal will become a necessity. ————++e—____. Prosperity and the Strike. From the Philadelphia Times. The prospects for the profitable employ- ment of both labor and capital were never better than now, and the sensible thing for the striking miners to do is to accept arbi- tration on the best practicable terms pos- sible and get to work 6s soon as possible. This will be far better for them, as well as for all concerned, than inflammatory appeals to popular sympathy and a hope- less attempt to paralyze all industrial prosperity as a means of righting the wrongs of one division of labor's great army. = —_>r+e—____ No Legislation by “Slips.” From the St. Paul Pioneer Press, The English legislative system has a feature which is worth copying.
