As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. ©7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- fount of personal ence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connectsd with the Office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ents, according to tenor or purpose. Execution of the High For years every thoughtful Washington- jan has recognized as an essential of the harmonious development of the national capital a speedy extension of Washington's magnificent plan of streets, which should correct or prevent as far as practicable the misfit band of suburban settlements with narrow, creoked and discordant thorough- fares which has threatened to encircle and hem in the city. The local ambition has been to have the rew Washington beyond “Boundary street” worthy of the original city, and an integral and harmonious part of the nation’s capital The highway act, which was intended to ve this municipal and national problem, was mutilated and perverted in Congress, and it was accepted by its friends in its imperfect state (against the advice of Tac Star) as a last resort to secure its pas- sage, with the knowledge that it needed amendment, and with the full intention at that time in its supporters of subsequently applying for such amendments. The vital defect of the act was the pro- vision concerning the payment of the cost of street extension and financial responsi- bility concerning the improvement and de- velopment of the streets created under it. The broad avenues of the capital, planned and carried out on the magnificent scale suitable for the seat of the government of the world’s greatest republic, were to be spread over an addition to Washington, but the national responsibility for a share of the cest of this improvement was to be re- pudiated. On this side of Boundary street Was to be the national W which the people of the rep: : on the other side was to be the new ington, of interest only to its residents Washington's street plan, however fit for the ration’s city, is entirely unsuitable from the prohibitive expense in- volved in it for application to the suburban settlements, viewed as exclusively self-sup- porting villages. Congress cannot equit- abl ¢ to the District suburban residents that the broad streets of the capital shall plow through their houses and lots to the end that the capital shall practically annex and absorb their preperty without treating them in all respects as a part of the na- tion’s city. The capital's street plan in- volves participation in the privileges of the capital under the act of 1878, in respect to the cost of- maintaining such a plan. The financial provisions of the highway act meant virtual confiscation of their property to numerous suburbanites, repudiation by the republic of the national obligations in respect to the Greater Washington, and the creation of a bad precedent threaten- ing a similar if gradual repudiation of the national obligations concerning the original elty. From the date of its passage local public opinion has refused to tolerate this legisia- tive provision. In 184 the board of trade in e.dorsing a limited bond issue to meet certain publfe improvements, including street extension, stipulated “that propor- tionate contribution by the national gov- ernment toward all of these improvements withou: exception 1s a vital feature of the proposed legislation.” The District is of the same mind toda: There has been a threatening prospect that the highway act would go into prac- tical operation in a shape which is unjust to local property owners, and disastrous to vital interests of the District; and on a scale which raises the doubt whether the District can afford so comprehensive a plan. The popular protest against the pro- posed injustice finds its latest reflection in the jury's verdict of yesterday in the con- demnation ca nounces impr: ing th ses, which in effect pro- icable the project of flnane- improvement that is provided by hway act. act must be so amended elther di- (which nly safe way) or in- conditions of the appropria- lation to carry it into effect, so that the national obligations in respect to the upbuilding of New Washington as a part of the federal District shall not be repudiated. If this alteration cannot be se- cured, the nighway act, admirable as were its purposes, and beneficial to the public as it was in intent, must be executed, Le., it must hang by the neck until it is dead. —— ee he young gentlemen concerned in the 70 horse show have agreed not to sell any liquor in the temperate suburb of Hyde Park. New York restaurateurs will keep their eyes on the situation to see whether it affords any new suggestions in the art of dodging the letter of the law. z ——__ +22 The information brought to light by the death of Mr. Langtry tends to the conclu- sion that the public had the principal grievance in the case. —~ ¢ =____ Hara-Kirt. t news dispatches from Japan an- omat named Akiyama unsuccessfully attempted suicide, by tional method of hara-kiri. This ap- ly personal affair is ¢ trued rtant tween Japz row some disembowel instituti man who ha: dignity or h The advance has tended to discourage the pr: death by hara-kiri is now cor rare. This form of suicide, which is a complished by a self-inflicted wound in the abdomen, followed, if death should not be immediate, by a slashi.g of the threat, is the last re of a man who has found himself baffled in his projects, offended by others without the possibility of redress, his honor affected or his cherished plans frustrated. Akiyama was recently sent to Hawail to assist the minister there, Shimamura, in the conduct of the immigration negotia- tions. He assumed a radical attitude, ad- vised the minister and his government to adopt severe measures in dealing with the republic and expressed himself to The Star's editoria! correspondent then present in the islands as being impatient at the attitude of the Hawaiian government. Had his advice been followed at Tokyo the dis- pute would probably have resulted ere this in a breach between Japan ard Hawaii at least, and perhaps betweer Japan and the United States. He returned to Tokyo primed for an effort to persuade the gov- ernment to ignore Hawail's diplomatic ma- meuvers and representations, to spurn the suggestion of arbitration and te make a peremptory demand for satisfaction for the alleged indignities imposed upon Japan through her emigrant subjects. The attempt at suicide now by this diplo- Mat suggests the probability that he was rebuffed at Tckyo by the officials of the foreign office, who have at no time been Fadical to the point of denying the possi- had as te bear dir matner upon th n and Hawaii, oif- to his life. the islands civilization bility of arbitration of the dispute, as were both Akiyama and Shimamura in Honolulu. This rediff may have been in the nature of a snub to Akiyama, who possibly felt his honor affected, his personal dignity wounded and his hopes for exalted place in the future blignted. The hara-kiri under such circumstances was his only refuge. That deed would wipe away the stain and would exalt him as a hero, according to the peculiar ethical views of the Japanese who have not yet overcome their tradi- tional beliefs based upon the ancient Orientalism. To the temperament of which Akiyama was a type ro other honorable course was open if such a rebuff had actu- ally been given by his superiors. If this be true, and of course it ts but speculation based upon the known facts, It indicates the failure and the abandonment by Japan of the Akiyama bluff and biuster policy of dealirg with Hawaii. —_~+ e+ ___ Sleeping Car Extortion. The announcement that Mr. Pullman, the palace car magnate, left a fortune vari- ously estimated at from fifty to one hun- dred million dollars, and that there remains in the treasury of the company of which he was a large if not the principal stock- holder a surplus of twenty-five mfllion dol- lars to be disposed of in the form of an extra dividend, will serve to call fresh at- tention to the enormous profits of thé pal- ace car company, and also to raise the question whether some means cannot be found to reduce the exorbitant prices ex- acted from those who are compelled by force of circumstances to avail themselves of sleeping car facilities when traveling. That the cost of these facilities is and al- ways has been out of all proportion to the expense of providing them or of the char- acter of the accommodations afforded has long been patent to all the world, but Probably few persons had any idea of the size of the colossal fortune thus wrung from the public every year. Whether a legal provision to prevent these oppressive charges can be found, and one which would be alike operative in all the states, is per- haps an open question; but that the pro- posed doubling of the capital stock of the company, in order to dispose of its excess- ive profits, can be prevented there ought to be no doubt. Some means certainly ought to be furnished to prevent such an outrage on the traveling public. What pro- portion of the existing stock is composed of water, probably no one outside of the charmed circle of its holders can tell. But it is perfectly clear that the whole of the proposed increase would be water, pure and simple, and that the process indicated would be nothing short of robbery. That the property of the company has largely increased in quantity and value since the amount of its present capital stock was fixed is unquestionably true. But that has nothing whatever to do with the case as it stands. Not a single stock holder ever put his hand in his pocket to pay for one pen- ny’s worth of the enlargements and better- ments that have marked the growth of the company. These have all been bought with the money squeezed out of travelers in excessive fares, and to permit an increase of capital on that acCount would be simply to compel the public to pay interest in the form of fat dividends on what it and not the stockholders have paid for. Thit is the sort of thing that has made sryanism and Henry-Georgeism possible, and that will yet bring, if not checked, no end of trouble upon this country. ——_> +e_____ Tammany’s Program. Judge Van Wyck’s letter accepting the Tammany nomination for mayor of Greater New York is a shrewdly constructed docu- ment, well calculated to make a good ‘m- pression in Tammany circles. It deals with the issues in the Tammany style. It prom- ises an administration after the Tammany wish and purpose. The Raines law is condemned. If Tam- many returns to power the town will again be run on the “wide-open” plan, aid the saloon will again Lecome political head- quarters. Pyblic improvements on an enor- mous scale are to be entered upon. Tam- many contracts let to Tammany supporters will plaster the town from one end to the other. Pickings, rich and abundant, will be within <Tammany’s reach on every hand. The public franchises are to be controlled for the public benefit. A low rate for gas, a low rate for street-car travel, and all that, are to be secured. Will Tammany respond tu the appeal? In the main, it is altogether likely to do s The great majority of the organizaticn is ill in leash to Richard Croker, and this letter is practically Richard Croker’s. He sull is Tammany Hall, its leader and guid- ing spirit. He knows what his followers want, and that the rank and file will be satisfied with a division of the spoils of office and with conditions which will make life free and easy in town. When it comes to the larger questions, to dealing with cap- ital about franchises and the like, he and a few of his personal advisers will attend to that, and be left undisturbed to do so. ‘These references to the public franchises are not likely to disturb the men who now control them, or those who aspire to con- trol such franchises as may be called into existence by the new municipality. Tam- many has never been a guardian of any public interest. It is not likely to change its stripes now. It rails against all capital, but it has ever been the tool of selfish and urscruputous capital. Elevated to power in Greater New York, it would appear in its old role and resume its old business at the old stand. Tammany is playing for the flesh pots, which have never before been so tempting, and the folly of those who by their posi- tion and character and possessions stand for the community and should protect it is making Tammany’s success a strong prob- ability. +e ___ New York should not grow proud and haughty because its political fight attracts the attenticn of the entire country. ‘The Luet case did the same thing. ee It looks as if the monetary commission had waited for General Miles to get out of Europe before attempting to attract much attention to itself. ———_+ + e—___ The applications for remittances from the Klondike may presently turn the tide of wealth the other way. —»o=—-____ Republican Responsibility. The republican party is in power, with ali of the prestige that goes with a national triumph, and yet candor compels the state- ment that owing largely to republican di- visions great uneasiness exists as to the November result in several highly import- ant localities. The story makes anything but comforting reading to the friends of sound money. The New York situation could not well be worse. In the city the republicans have pitted against each other for mayor two exceptionally able and attractive men. Union upon either would insure republican success. But union is declared to be im- possible. If the race continues along the existing lines, Tammany would appear to have the best chance of winning. Regard- less of the fact that Tammany did not have the courage to declare this year for silver, republican defeat next month if it is sus- tained through the success of either Vai Wyck or George will be a loss for sound money right in the financial metropolis of the country. In Kentucky the whole question relates to the condition of the republican organiza- a a Votes cast for either of these men will come from the democratic party as former- ly organized. The republicans therefore” have but to get out their full vote in sup- port of their candidate to win. The hope is that they may succeed in doing this, al- though the old Hunter-Bradley feud still continues and is still a source of anxiety. Reports from Maryland are more encour- aging than they were a few weeks ago. But much remains for the republicans of that state to do to insure the polling of their full strength. The campaign of the independent democrats is courageous and Promising to the last degree. Mr. Gorman has played his last card without effect on them. Led by the powerful sound money democratic press of Baltimore, they are holding out against every form of Gormdn- ism and free silver. 5 es Sound money success in New York, Ken- tucky and Maryland depends on the re- Publicans. It can be achieved by activity for unity, and unity for activity. The bat- tle will be lost unless that unity and activi- ty are achieved. A great deal of work can be accomplished in two weeks. Just two weeks remain. Will the time be improved? ———_++-=—____ Hawaii and Cuba are not the only sec- fons of the giobe that are giving the ad- ministration food for thought.

It was the cause of my son's getting a black eye the other day.” “Is he a member of an eleven?” “No. He got into an altercation witha young man from another college about the merits of their respective teams.” Opportune.

From the Chicago Times-Herald. It is thoroughly characteristic of men of Gorman’s stamp—the present governor of Illinois belongs to the same class—that they cannot understand the position of a newspaper publisher as a free critic of. public affairs. They are so'used to meas- uring every man’s motives by their own standards of personal gain, and they meet so many small printers of newspapers whose servile support of their schemes can be purchased by a postmastership or a collectorship that when they encounter a man who seems to be interested solely in discharging his duty to the public they are overcome with amazement. “What does the fellow want, anyhow?” He ap- pears to be beyond the seduction of money’ bribes. He doesn’t seek an office. He asks, for no “patronage.” What can be his pur- pose? Then a great light dawns on them. He can be caught with the bait of politi- cal leadership. If he can head a delegation to a convention or nominally direct a cam- paign he will “run straight.” And when this allurement fails to melt his stony heart they are afield again. They finally put him down as a mean man, not a “good feller,” and “let it go at that.” Gorman cannot understand any more than Tanner that the newspaper opposi- tion to him is based not upon the dis- appointed ambition of the editor, but on abhorrence of him and his political meth- ods. Gorman in Maryland stands for pre- cisely the things that Tanner represents in MIilinois—ring rule, dishonest _ primaries, packed conventions, bribed legislatures and the elevation of unfit men to office. The Baltimore Sun denounces him because he 1s a public enemy and it is a public servant. The effect of his leadership on his party is rrerely incidental, as with him party-is a mere incident to self-seeking. The news- papez’s purpose is to destroy him as a pub- lic man, and it seems to be realizing its purpose if we are to judge the depth of the hurt by the loudness of the cry. + —_~++e—____ It is Too Late. From the Philadelphia Ledger, It is said that the foreshadowed scheme of autonony to be offered to Cuba by Sa- gasta will not pacify the insurgent island- ers. It is the vsual fate of tyrannical gov- ernments to offer liberal terms of pacifica- tion to revolting dependencies too late. After the American Revolutionary War had been in progress for nearly two years the Lritisn House of Commons passed sev- eral conciliatory bills intended to quiet the revolt. One of the bills declared the pur- pose of parliament not to tax the North American colonies. The proffer. was spurned, but it is highly probable that a measure like this would have conciliated the Americans if it had been taken a few years before the outbreak of hostilities. No measure of American autonomy which recognized the overlordship of Great Brit- ain in the faintest degree could be accepted after martyrs had been made to the cause of Americcn independence. ——_>+>—____ Senator Gorman ns an Altruist. From the Chicago Inter-Ocean. Senator Gorman of Maryland say: Tam willing to surrerder every prospect of per- sonal promotion if by se doing I can re- unite the democratic party.” Altruism is a new dodge in the tortuous political career of Mr. Arthur Pue Gorman. But it won't work in this instance. Nothing can now re- unite the democratic party. It is “bustea” so wide open that it has passed beyond the possibility of reparation. ———+--2___ A Timely Topie.
