THE EVEN VIN G STAR. ‘GTON _ October 29, 1897. WASHIN FRIDAY... NOYES... ---Editor.

As a News and Advertising Medium it has no comvetitor. t7 Im order to avoid delays, on nc- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR shouts not be addressed te any individ: nected with the office, but pa te THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according te tenor or purpose. CROSBY s. ~ and the George Vote. th of Henry George, on the very » election in New York, intensifi the confusion that has prevailed through- out the campaign. The first question that. naturally arises is as to the effect that this event will have upon the fortunes of the three remaining candidates. The nearness of the election complicates the situation al- nd calculation, for George's cam- paign has been based upon altogether un- usual lines, and his following yesterday, complex and non-partisan as it was in the main, ‘s today left a floating, uncertain quantity te add to the chaotic intricacy of the canvass. Naturally the passing away of the leader would leave the following. gathered from so many sources, free to re- vert to their first principles, based upon partisan “or personal prejudices. George has unquestionably drawn most of his strength that has thus far been demon- strated from the ranks of the Tammany democrats. He stood for many of the prin- ciples represented by that party. He wa: in a large measure, a democrat of the Ch!- cago school. He halted, however, on the conservative side of a full indorsement ot the independent, free and unlimited coinage of sliver at 16 to 1. He was primarily a single taxer. He advocated municipal cwn- ership. a revolution of the methods of land control, a remodeling of industrial society. He attracted the discontented, the theorists, the experimenters. As the case stood yesterday three anti-Tammany field. The hearty good government Seth The de eve of th there were candidates in the desire of all friends of was that Tammany should be defeated. An unfertunate schism in the ranks of the natural enemies of Tammany caused the rival candidacies of ‘Tracy and Low. The former's chance of election lay in the magnitude of George's vote, which was expected to draw heavil from Van W cpponent, somewhat as well from Low. The latest tendencies seemed to favor a slight increase in Tracy's chances to secure suffi ly heavy machine republican Yote to capture the decision in the face of the three opposing forces. But George's death has changed all this. It has de- stroyed the the L George's hope that the Tammany vote would be weakened by ently to ensure a margin for the regular republican candi- date. Henry George stood for anti-bossism. je was running primarily as a non-parti- san whose individual principles and per- sonal magnetism were dominant faciors in ign. He reviled the leadership s-ship of Croker and Platt in equal His hatred of the machine was in- open terms. discriminating. It was one of the secrets of the campaign that he had of late been advising those of his hearers who could not come to a full endorsement of his single-tax views to vote for Seth Low if they could not vote for him. Indeed it was currently reported and believed with some confidence that there was an understanding between George and Low that the former would throw his strength to Low at the last hour if it became apparent that George could not win. Seth Low will thus gain heavily from the vote cast adrift by the death of George. It Was essentially an anti-Tammany vate, yet @ certain percentagé of it, attracted from Tammany by George's personality, will in spite of everything flow back to Van Wyck. Tracy running solely as the Platt republi- can candidate can apparently hope for little or nothing from this vote. This increese of Low’s strength coupled with a smaller increase of Van W¥tk's vote operates in < double sense to improve Low's chances. There are many New York.voters of republican proclivities who wish above everything to defeat Tammany. Their votes on election day, as between Tracy and Low, would be cast for that candidate who pre- sented the best prospects of defeating Van Wyck. The latter's gain from the George ranks emphasizes the necessity of a con- centration of forces in order to defeat him, and the vote accessions to Low from the George point to Low as the candidate rs by far the strongest promise of © opportunity now presents itself for - anti-‘Tammany elements who are not cund down to machine rule tu unite upo2 late whe represents good govern- a ment, sound administration and non-parti- sanship in the conduct of municipal affairs. z It will be unfortunate if any other result shall c: rom this tragic climax to an intensely dramatic campaign. If the in- fluence of the dead candidate can last until next Tuesday to direct the votes of his former followers and supporters the logical and to most people outside of the hurly- burly of New York politics the satisfactory result will be the defeat of Tammany and the election of Seth Low as the first mayor of the Greater New York. —~--— +02 -——_ This “something equally as good” idea is in great danger of being overworked.

Spain presents her compli- to the United States, and accepis with plessure the tender of the friendly offices of the United States toward bring- ing peace to Cuba. Proceeding, Spain then deseribes the situation, and points out the <ourse to be pursued in the premises. item—The revolt in the island is trace- able directly to the United States. The in- Surgents are not only indorsed in this country, but are supported from here. Let their American supplies be cut off, and the insurgents will wmmediately be forced to terms. Thankful for past favors in the matter of police duty rendered by the United States, Spain respectfully requests @ continuation of the same, with a bit more vigilance and spirit thrown into the werk. The United States may mean well— though Spain is open to a little more ar- gument on that point—but she fs deficient in execution. Her education as a police- man seems to have been neglected. But Spain will kindly show her how to swing the stick, and hit every head at which she aims. Item—Responsibility for and sympathy with the insurgents being past all dispute, the Influence of the United States must be exerted to induce the insurgents to accept . the Sagasta “reforms,” and that will set- tle the whole matter. Peace wil! return to Cuba, the waste places will bloom again, the people will become prosperous and contented, and the island, under the Span- ish flag, will become “a thing of beauty and a joy forever.” This reading of Minister Woodford’s note will not go down in the United States. The United States is not resporsible for the revolt In Cuba. Spanish rule, of a hideous character and long continued, solely ac- counts for that. Spain scourges as long as she can, and then, threatened with the loss of her colony, begins to coddle her outraged people with promises of humane bekavior. It is an old game, and a trick. The people of Cuba know it to their sorrow. ‘The people of the United States have seen it played on Cuba—played down as low as Ah Sin played his hand at poker. The in- surgent: declare that they will not be tricked again. Shall the United States try to overrule them on a point so vital to their own welfare? But let it be assumed that Senor Sagasta is sincere In his policy. Can it be guaran- teed for any length of time? It is repudi- ated by the Spanish conservatives even be- fore its inauguration. The followers of the late Senor Carovas—and the spirit of the dead man still controls the conservative party—publicly dissent from the whole ar- rangement. Senor Sagasta has to firm hold on power. Suppose he should be, re- tired at any early day. What would be the fate of kis polictes? But the United States in any event will not make itself responsible, directly or in- directly, for Spanish rule in Cuba. What it asks, and has a right to ask, of Spain is that the bloody war in the island shall speedily be brought toa clese. It is seeking no trouble with Spain, nor any opportunity to take the field against the men in Cuba who are fighting for tiberty. ———__-+ + ____ The Marine Band. ‘The Marine Band is an excellent musical crganization. It tncludes many superior performers and has at all times within recent years been capable of producing the finest music in the best of style. But the leader and members of it are subject to the restrictions and humiliations of enlisted men and as musicians are wretchedly under-paid. At the same time the govern- ment is proud of the band; utilizes it upon state occasions with a feeling of national satisfaction’ and expects great things of the poorly-paid, scarcely recognized - indi- viduals who compose the organization. The band is frequently confronted with difficulties in the way of securing extra earnings, though the latest action of the department will make it possible for the men to go to Chicago to fulfil an engage- ment that will enable them to eke out their miserable wages with side returns. The le of pay should be high enough to render it unnecessary for these men to travel about “barn-storming” or comp. ing with civilian bands in order to make a fair living. It does not wholly comport with the dignity of the nation to have representative musizal crgenization at the beck and call of the entire country. If there is-to be such a band it ought to be maintained on a seale commensurate with the nation’s standards. Whatever may be the feelings with regard to the latest change in the leadership of the band, which takes from Washington one of the most capable and popular band-masters the capital has ever known, the author- ities of the department should make spe- cal efforts next winter to have the band placed on a different and more satisfac- tery basis It is somewhat absurd that this band, whose duties are scarcely ever connected with the corps to which it be- longs, should remaia strictly a ‘Marine” band. Its performances at the White House and in other places under govern- mental auspices suggest the propriety of an entire reorganization that shall create a distinctly national band, with facilities for good work now absent, with a pay scale more in keeping with the artistic standards required, and with a freedom from the unnecessary and repellant feat- ures of enlistment and subjection to ihe annoyances and hindrarces of military- naval authority. + 2 Henry George. Henry George died early this morning in New York under circumstances that cause his death to become the most important happening of mary months. George was an advanced tainker, radical in many views, courageous in his convictions, am- bitious, and honest in thought and deed. His study of certain probiems relating to the condition of labor and of the poorer classes had resulted in the declaration of a theory that has attracted many thousands for its apparent solution of undeniable em- barrassments arising from the complex conditions ef modern society. Those who leaned toward the single-tax theory as an abstract doctrine were more numerous by far “than those who advocated its emhodi- ment in law and its application in admin- istration. George was in many respects a strong type of the American civilization, largely self-educated, self-reliant and en- ergetic without stint. His intemperate use of his energies in the campaign just closing undoubtedly caused his death. As he pass- €s away he will be sincerely regretted not only by those who followed him to the lim- its of his doctrines but by many others who admire originality, courage and per- sistence. The purity of his life and of his pclitical metheds, his hatred of corruption and his defiance of bosses in politics all combined to make him a striking person- ality, appealing to ardent temperaments. ——_ +2 ____ Men with ambitions to become multi- millionaires may as well face the fact that if they succeed there will be small chance of their settling their estates without de- veloping suggestions of scandal. —___~r+o—___ Carter Harrison is telling New York how much preferable his administration has been to reform movements in Chicago.

The manner in which The Star served its readers this morning with the news of the death of Henry George is worth attention. Practically not a minute was lost in the handling of the tidings here. The death occurred at about 5 o'clock, and, of course, was known in New York shortly afterwards. But at that early hour the wires of the As- sociated Press between here and the me- tropolis were closed, ant! were not opened until 8:30. Instantly after the “good-morn- ing” signal had been flashed from this end of the wire the bulletin of the death was sent. This was telephoned immediately to The Star office, and steps were nt once taken to prepare for an extra edition as soon as the news skould be sufficiently verified to warrant such a pudlication. In twenty minutes the particulars were ob- tained. Compositors were set at work without the least celay, stereotypers were summoned ahead of time, steam was hur riedly made and in just 30 minutes from the time the matter was received the extra edition was being sold on the streets. The mechanical work was performed in record-breaking time, ant when the extra. | poet as that he hails from that grand old roar SS aS Es appeared it not only gave the hews of the death, but also a biography of the dead man -and a survey of the political effect which the death might have upon the situation in Greater New York.

From the London Spectator. Senor Sagasta has had the nerve to recall General Weyler frem Cuba, and has ap- pointed Marshal Blanco, an officer who will pursue milder methods. He has also asked the autonomists of Cuba to name some Cubans worthy of high office. That is alt excellent, but the rocks ahead of his! patw/ are numerous and very high, In the first place, the Cuban leaders reject his offers and demand Independence. In the second, he has to compel the Cubans to provide the interest on seventy millions sterling of new debt. In the third place, according to an Englishman recently in Cuba with ex- ceptional opportunities ‘of knowing truth, General Weyler’s conquests | have! been unreal, half the Spanish army perished or become diseaséd, ‘the insur- gents are in full possession of the interidr,_ and are now even entering towns and “tak- ing what they want.”On the other hand, there is a distinct lull in American ¢agtr- ness to pick a quarrel with Spain, and 4 wish to wait until it is clearly seen: how’ far Sagasta, or rather .the electors. behind him, are wiling to go. As we have’ re- peatedly pointed out, the excessive suf- ferings of the two hundred thousand young conscripts sent to Cuba will greatly affect. the result of the elections. ———— Strength of the Monroe Doctrine.
