THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulat much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailics. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personnal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Ed al or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Pipe Lines Are Not “Necessary. Interesting facts concerning the com- pressed air system suc’ it is proposed to lish en local lines come to hand today n two wholly different sources, and all effect that it is by no means neces- sary in the installation of this system to disturb the street surfac in the least. From New Y. letter from a st in the com- arising from the prom- ngton corporations led an inspection of the air cars in the ‘Ks and an interview with one ot rs of the manufacturing company. The testimony of this official and of the corr vient’s observation was conclu- sively to the effect that recharging stations, such as the receiver of the local roads in- sists upon constructing, are unnecessary. From New York also, but by way of St. Lou's, comes information of the consolida- tion of the rival air power companies, to- gether with a description of the system, doubtless furnished by the newly formed corpe tion, in the course of which oc- curs the sentence: “For the use of the air motor car no change of roadbed is neces- sar} Ine ntally it is observed that among the chief owners of the new company that now controls all the valuable compressed air patents in this country are the men who are prominent for their ownership of the y stock of the Eckington and Belt It has frequentiy been suggested erally believed that the two in- terests were identical, the local roads and the air power concern, and now the fact is 1 dispute. This fact is valuable in % light upon the persistence of the loca! companies in adopting the compressed air system notwithstanding the eminentt superior features of the underground elec tric, which Congress requires as an alterna- tive. it more than once been stated that the alr car endeavors as conducted here smacked strongly of a stock-jobbing operation and now the suspicion receives additional force. The Washington roads make good cat’s-paw: Tke Commissioners, however, are not con- cerned over the business status of the local companies or of the compressed air com- - that is to furnish the motors that, it aid, will soon be forthcoming.

They ! n adviStd by their at- that the law does not contemplate equipment and they are now told, The Star's information, that in estimate of the people who build and run these cars the pipe lines are not essen- tial to the working of the system. The vidence is conclusive and warrants the most vigoreus steps to compel obedience to the statute in the full scope of its inten- tion. It is to be noted that thus far no orders have be ven by the receiver for the ssary to equip the roads, though spatch from New York and St. ntion is made of eighty cars th bullt for the Washington lines. es have been crossed somewhere, it ‘ceast of Spain's Rep! ws from Madrid still insists that to Minister Woodford's aote n fillbustering, and will urge S government “fulfil more stri future the rules and duties of in- fenal law,” because “the s of cw home rule policy, and the speedy of Cuba, chiefly depend upon ited States.” 's new home rule policy d>- ot upon the conduct of the United tates, but upon the condition of affairs In Cuba.

That is very apt to be vindicated as for sending twe soldiers to © 's naval foi anish Will simply take vu The Wolcott Commission. While much speculation is being indulged in on the subject, there is nothing authori- tative as to the administration's further course respecting international bimetallism. It is suggested that the special commission will pow return home, prepare its report, and that the matter will be laid before Corgress at the coming session. The administration's course in the prem- ises so far has been characterized by con- scientiousness and good judgment. The St. Louis platform has properly been its guide of action. That platform committed the republican party to an effort to re- habilitate stlver by international agree- ment. It did not pledge success to such @ effort It could not do that, because the question was recognized as a very dif- ficult one. The administration upon com- ing into power promptly took the subject up. But not without a protest here and there. In more than one quarter there was a feeling and an opinion expressed that no action at all should follow. The cyni- cal suggestion was made to treat the mat- ter merely as a campaign promise without binding force in the day of success. The administration vetoed this, and announced that the promise should be kept to the letter. Then came the question of procedure. It was decided to send a special commis- sion abroad, and to select its members from the ranks of those known to be earnest ad- Yocates of bimetalism. The country ex- pressed the liveliest satisfaction with the three men chosen—all men of substance, experience, high position and undoubted abilities. It was at once arranged to give them all the support that the leading Amer- ican embassies abroad could afford. So equipped, with full support at home, and assistance provided for abroad, the special commissioners entered upon their work, and have carried it along with patience and tact and much dignity. They have found sympathy in France, and respectful atten- tion even in England, and the sum of their knowledge as well as of the world’s knowledge on the subject as it exists up to date has been enhanced. As the case stands today, therefore, the administration has followed the line of the St. Louis platform, and the special com- missioncrs have followed the line of the udministration’s instructions. Difficulties in the way of accomplishing the end de- sired were known to exist,, and they have heen encountered. The commissioners will Tepert the situation accurately, and it will then be for the administration to determine its future steps. But wherever else those steps may lead, it is easy to assume that they will not lead in the direction of a defiance of the laws of standards and values as accepted by all the principal powers of the world. When the people decided in November in favor of bimetalism by international agreement they also decided against the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1 as an in- dependent act by this government. The administration, under those instructions, could not encourage in any way, and of course will not, a policy designed to an- tagonize in the matter of money the high- est standard of money. This decision of Great Britain may not make the move- ment for international bimetalism hope- less. Something else may be attempted. But the record so far made is assurance that whatever else that thing may be it will cause no risk to American confidence and credit. ——++o—__ Too Near the River's Edge. Yesterday's railroad disaster on the New York Central line north of New York city is calculated to shake the public confidence in the security of modern travel, for the road on which it occurred is known as one of the best managed in the world. It is probable in this case that the tracks at the point where the accident occurred Te undermined by the waters of the near-by river, which had unnoted worked their way into the retaining wall in such manner as to weaken the foundations of the roadbed. Another passenger trafn had passed over the tracks only ten or eleven miautes ‘pre- viously without mishap or warning of the horror soon to be enacted. In that short interval the water must have completed the werk that it had been doing for weeks, months, or perhaps years. The safe pas- Sage of the first train indicates that little blame can be attached to the railroad com- pany for the disaster, as the weakness of the tracks was evidently such that it could not have been detected in the ordinary course of track inspection and most assur- edly could not have been discovered in the brief period between trains, when the eariy hour is taken into account. Usually when a train leaded with people plunges over an embankment or crashes into another train or into some obstruc- tion on the track there is a human being who may be said to be primarily re- sponsible, some official or underling who has neglected his duty or has failed in competence, or a miscreant who has sought to cause death and destruction for his own purposes. But in this case it is not pos- sible so to account for the disaster. Nature herself is solely accountable, and the only lesson that can be drawn from the accident is that it is not safe to construct a rail- road so close to the edge of a stream, whose waters may first undermine the track and then drown the passengers as the derailed cars plunge into the river. This riverside railroad line affords one of the most beeutiful and interesting rides in America and for pleasure and for pic- turesque effects the route close to the bank is a delight. But yesterday’s experience shows that no reliance can be placed upon the must solid appearing wall and road bed, and precaution now suggests the need of a remove from the dangerous proximity that enter2d so largely into the horror of yesterday morning. ——_~+2e—___ No Vacant Stores. The various “s'gns of prosperity” are be- coming so common nowadays that it is use- less to call attention to them, yet striking evidences of the return of business health to the land continue to arrive in such un- usual forms that the record of the in-flow- ing tide would not be complete without them. The latest in this direction is the discovery in New York that it is practical- ly impossible for the campaign managers to find vacant stores along Broadway for the noon-day meetings in the interests of the various candidates that form a feature of the mayoralty campaign. It was dis- covered last week that in the entire stretch of that great thoroughfare, the main artery of the metropolis, there are but seven stores unoccupied for the transaction of active business, and two of them have al- ready been rented by prospective tenants. A year ago, it is related, there were vacant stores on every block. The change speaks convincingly. —_+r+o—___ A request for a lecture on free silver should, unless other arrangements are specified, be accompanied by cash.

A Speaking Silence. “Why should we take chances,” asks Mr. Croker in discussing the reason why Judge Van Wyck is being kept off the stump in the maycralty fight in New York. Mr. Croker’s attitude is that of a man who “feels easy in the boat.” That is part of his play. It 1s sald that his friends the bookmakers have been substantially en- couraged by him to Keep the odds on Van Wyck at such a figure that victory for Tammany seems certain. That also is part of the regular Tammany game. The Tiger lashes its tail viciously and looks big and confident and hungry and strong. Judge Van Wyck, however, is being kept off the stump, whatever may be the real reason, end in this the New York campaign is a spectacle unique among the many political cddities produced by the metropolis during recent years. The other three candidates for the chief municipal office are vigor- ously telking, sometimes making three, fovr and even five speeches each a day, while the Tammany man sits secluded within the inner recesses of headquarters and waits for the word that will not come. This exhibition of submission to the dom- ination of a boss ought to convince the Greater New Yorkers that if Tammany wins this year, Richard Croker will be the mayor of the enlarged metropolis, and not’ Robert Van Wyck. This conclusion should practicaily take one of the four tickets from the contemplation of honest citizens and narrow the fight down to Low, Tracy and George. — e+____ It is very generous in Mr. Tom Johnson to let so important a campaign as that now progressing in Ohio take care of it- self while he looks after Mr. George's in- terests in New York city. rs ee In her indignation toward this country, Spain forgets that there are several promises 02 a restoration of peace in Cuba that are long overdue. ——~+-___ If Mrs. Luetgert is alive, possibly she will be kind encugh to go back to Chicago and save the people the expense of another trial. —>+2____ Mr. Croker fs not the first person who has endangered his business prospects by fool- ing with horse races. —>+e—___ The Emperor William is to write a poem. This will be Mr. Alfred Austin’s opportu- nity to get even. —~eo___ SHOOTING STARS. Far-Sighted. “There's no doubt that the Spanish offi- cials are very far-sighted,” said one of the old inhabitants of Madrid. “Yes,” replied the Carlist, “whenever they are looking for trouble they insist on fastening their gaze away across the ocean.” To Be Expected. Thou, too, sail on, oh, ship of state! And he who bears a share Of taxes must not rail at Fate; Each passerger pays fare. Had Tried. “Did you say that you have given up smoking to please your wife?” “Yes,” replied the intensely selfish citi- zen. “It was no use. I tried every brand of tobacco in a pipe and bought every kind of cigar. But there was no way of smok- ing to please her, so I went back to my original choice.” A Different Case. “I suppose,” said Meander’ing Mike, who 1 been talking of the times when he en- joyed affluence, “that you're goin’ to tell me about how I orter of put something by fur a rainy day. “That is precisely what was in my mind.”" “Well, it wouldn't of done no good. ‘What ruined my prospects was a drouth.” Regret. “Did your railway make money? No,” replied the promoter; “we wouldn't let well enough alone.” “There was a chance of its being profit- able, then?” “Yes; but we weren't satisfied with sell- ing stock. We had to go ahead and try to build the road." A Change of Sentiment. He used to sing of syivan nooks Where nymphs and fauns would stray. He often told of babbling brooks In an ecstatic way. But now o'er him a mournful air At thought of them expands. He's looking fer the corner, where The radiator stands. No more he seeks with eager ear The murmuring of the stream. All anxiously he bends to hear The sizzle of the steam. Though from the dust no bloom springs fair "Mid coils and fron bands, He turns and hugs the corner, where The radiator stands. ——~+ +e ___ Rural Free Delivery. From the Philadelphia Press. First Assistant Postmaster General Heath, as shown by his annual report, is fully live to the needs of the post office serv- Rural free delivery as put to the test by the department in twenty-nine states 1s a success. It can only be advantageously put in operation in the more settled parts of the country, but Mr. Heath thinks that it should beccme a permanent feature of the postal administration. In this he is unquestionably right. Had Postmaster Gei eral Wanamaker's efforts in this direction been carried forward by the Cleveland ad- ministration the rural free delivery might now be in operation over a considerable part of the country, without much, if any, additional expense. —___+ ++ —____ Too Much Politics. From the Richmond Times. The Roanoke Times says that the great curse of Virginia is too much politics. It is the great curse of the whole country. It not only keeps the people agitated and disturbs business, but demagogues are fo! ever trying to make it appear that pros- perity depends upon this or that action of the government, until the people have cause to believe that they must look to the government rather than to their own exertions for prosperity. It is a vicious doctrine, well calculated to impair indi- vidual effort and to destroy American in- Cependence and manhood. If we had less of politics and more of push and hustle in Virginia we would have more of prosperity. PT | EY Shedd’s, 432 gth st.

From the New York Tribune. » In Spain freedom of the press includes freedom to declare war, and the newspapers there work the privilege with great liberal- ity.
