6 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY... November 26, 1897. THE CROSBY S. NOYES..... THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 71m order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any indfvidual connected with the office, but “i STAR, or to the Editortal enn Depart- ments, nccording to tenor or purpose. The Eastern Democracy. The question of whether or not David B. Hill has a political future is occupying at- tention in New York just now. The an- swer of the Croker people is in the nega- tive. He is done for, they think. They cannot see how it is possible for him to come again. They recognize Senator Mur- phy as the democratic leader in the state, and go upon the assumption that that set- tles the whole matter. Mr. Hill, it is altogether plain, is in no comfortable position. But it is a short- sighted view which takes into account only his refusal to give Mr. Bryan an active support last year. He was one of the first of the democratic leaders to detect the populistic tendencies of the party. His fight against the income tax provision of the Gorman-Wilson bill was a notable per- formance. He denounced that feature of the bill as undemocratic, and he used every effort to defeat it. When outvoted by his party he stood up and voted against the bill. He then, two years afterward, went as a aelegate to Chicago and made a fight in both committee and convention against the same-populistic features of the party program. Again he was defeated, and again, in effect, he refused to accept the party dictum. But this time Mr. Hill did not stand alone, as he did when the final vote was taken. en the Gorman-Wilson bill. There Were others. Men of as much prominence as Mr. Hill, aria some with as much ambi- tion, refused, as he did, to allow that the Chicago platform was worthy of accept- ance as a declaration of democratic prin- ciples. Even Mr. Gorman, who supported Mr. Bryan on the score of party regular- ity, hesitated at the platform, and in his campaign in Maryland this year stood for re-election to the Senate on a platform of a different description. The question, therefore, in its real scope is larger than applies to the fortunes of any one man. The question is, has the democracy of the east, on the present lines of party division, any future? If the Bry- @n Movement continues and the Chicago platform remains the authoritative party declaration, what is to become of Senator Murphy, of Richard Croker, of William C. Whitney, of Mr. Gorman and many oth- ers? If the Bryan movement collapses, and the Chicago platform is sent to the Joiner’s bench for reconstruction, and the populistic planks are forced down or re- moved, what is to prevent a gereral re- habilitation of all those men now under the ban, who earnestly insist, despite their rec- ord of last year, that they still are demo- crats? ——-+o—___. The Effects of a Low Pay Seale. An employe of the District government who is highly regarded by his superiors for Fis mechanié¢al and engineering skill in the particular lige on which he is engaged is 2bout to resign because he has been offered @ larger salary by a commercial establish- ment. The officials are deeply grieved at the prospect of losing his services, and pcint out the danger that constantly sur- rounds the administration of public affairs when the salaries are on too low a scale. This effect of moderate pay rates, while in some respects unfortunate, is doubtless in- evitable. The national government suffers equally from it. The District will probably Icse many men in the future as it has in the past who have been worth much larger salaries than they have been granted by law, yet it is hardly possible that Con- gress will ever consent to such an increase in rates of pay as to enable the local or the national administration to compete for the services of expert assistants with the com- mercial employers, who are proportionately better able to pay large wages. The army and navy annually lose men whose expert knowledge makes them of high value to their branches of the public service. The naval and army engineers are continually being picked off by enterprising firms able to offer tempting sums, and the government at times finds itself embarrassed through the loss of men whom it has trained in spe- cial lines. In one sense this process of edu- cation and loss is a good thing, in that it Stimulates those who observe their chance to equip themselves while in public service te such a point that their services will be valued highly by outside employers. This leads to good work for the government or the municipality and serves to put a pre- mium upon excellence in public perform- ances. It causes rotation, which encour- ages the men in subordinate capacities to Rope to succeed to similar opportunities. Thus while it may be humiliating and at times embarrassing to government interests to feel that the public service may become in a measure a mere training school for the benefit of corporations yet there are some benefits that offset in part the disad- vantages. ee The next thing in order is for the Aus- trian reichsrath to pass resolutions con- demning the American game of foot-batl as a brutal sport. The members of that illus- trious bedy seem to have such a detesta- tion for anything bordering on the rough. ————+ ++ —____ Mr. yan seems to have found that foot bail is net nearly as rough as politics. ——— - wee Unobjectionable Rapid Transit. As the details of the transfer of the Co- lembia and Maryland road and its Wash- ingten city connectiors become known ther 3 to be good ground for a feel- ing of satisfaction in this community. Later dev “pments may change the aspect of affairs. but the present outlook is grati- fying to the local interests that have suf- fered for so many years. Most important of all is the prospect that the new owners of these properties recognize the fact that the overhead trolley can never be put in operation withm the limits of this city with the consent of the citizens. The Star is especially pleased with this result, for it has fought the introduction of the trol- Jey system early and late and has never aclinquished the least portion of the ground of its contention that this system ts dan- gerous, unsightly and unnecessary. The Washingtonian has only to compare the trolley-free condition of the broad and beautifu: streets and avenues of the capi- tal with the forest of poles and the net- work of wires that obstruct, disfigure and endanger the streets of Philadelphia to congratulate himself upon the policy of trolley exclusion, which has given to the city the very best of the unobjectionable forms of rapid transit. If the new managers of the Eckington end Belt roads give early demonstration of their imtention to equip those roads with the underground electric system, as foreshadowed yesterday by one of the movers ir the enterprise, there will be no tears shed in this community. Only those Will be disappointed who, in their capacity as lobbyists, have profited by their engage- ments in behalf of the overhead trolley or hope thus to profit. These lobbyists have won all the stakes in the game. The stakes were put up by their employers, whom they led to believe that the trolley was still a possibility, - notwithstanding the laws. on the statute books and the pronounced and determined opposition of the citizens of Washington. If now the game is to be clesed, the stakes withdrawn and the new Players are to be brought to a realization that the Washingten lobbyists who have Geiuded their predecessors into chasing a myth are unable to help them to secure trolley privileges, it is apparent that the work of raptd transit equipment on a basis suitable to the capital of the nation will proceed without delay. The new owners of these properties fall heir to a legal requirement that calls for the equipment of the city lines by the end of next June. This allows a trifle over seven months in which to do the work of installing the underground electric. Less time thar that, of course, would be needed in the equipment of the roads with the air motors, but it is observed that the new men have no faith in air motors, but pre- fer the known qualities of the underground system of electric propulsion. Seven months would probably suffice for the comolete equipment of the city lines, so far as it is desirabie that they should be plit at once en a rapid transit basis. With sufficient means and energy the entire plant could be installed in that period, notwithstanding the possibile interference of winter weather. But if it should come to pass that a few more months were needed, if after the work had progressed to such an extent as to leave no doubt of the good will and sincerity of tne new management it should be essentiai to extend the time, there is no doubt that Congress would willingly grant the favor, just as in the past it has not been averse to the giving ef proiongations without good reason to the companies that had persistently fooled both Congress and the people. All that the citizens exact is an early evidence of good faith. With that extend- ed im the form of works the new owners of these properties will enlist the sympathy and the aid of every Washingtonian who hopes to see the transportation system of the city brougnt uniformly to a modern basis. With these two city lines electri- cally equipped with the underground sys- tem the capital will be foremost of all American cities in the excellence of its street car service, and the position in this regurd among municipalities will be at- tained for which The Star, backed by all good citizens, has incessantly labored. —_++2e—____ General Weysler’s Future. Some means wil! probably be found for keeping him measurably under control, but it would be an exquisite piece of poetic justice if General Weyler back in Spaia should become a factor in the overthrow of the present ministry. Butcher that he is, he did nothing while in command in Cuba which was not comprehended in his in- structions from Madrid. He seemed to win, indeed, general Spanish applause. And, as a matter of fact, he was not recalled be- cause of his activity with the torch and the sword, but because by those means he had not succeeded in putting an end to the war. Had he succeeded, he would have been ac- claimed by the Sagasta following as well as by the Canovas following as worthy of all honor. But he failed, and the time ap- pearing ripe for a new play on the boards he was superseded. Weyler the butcher has lost nothing. Weyler the failure has lost his command. That is the whole story. What will they do with him when he reaches Madrid? That is a very interesting question. Does he hold cards in his hand which will make the ministry cautious about their movements? If General Wey- ler has grown enormously rich, as charged, as the result of speculation while in Cuba, he probably ‘had partners in the pilfering, and they could not have been men in or- dinary station. Nor if arraigned on such a charge would he be able to shield his part- ners even if so disposed. Transactions of that kind on a large scale and covering a long period of time have many ramifica- tions, and in uncovering one person others are exposed. According to cable reports, General Wey- ler is in full sympathy with those who would hold Cuba at all times and in all things absolutely subject to Spain. Home rule, autonomy, what you please, will not go down with him. And he is in position to tell his friends the precise situation so far as Cuban trade is concerned. He had opportunities for investigating the matter thoroughly. His friends will hear from him that if Cuba is permitted any voice in the control of her affairs the United States, and not Spain, will benefit. For that rea- son, General Weyler, who is a thorough Spaniard both as man and soldier, believes in keeping Cuba in the slavery of a Span- ish colony, and her markets open to Span- ish products alone. Progress for Cuba has no meaning for him. Cuba, as he thinks, is fulfilling her destiny when she takes Spain's orders and executes them for Spain’s bene- fit. He opposes autonomy for Cuba as a jailer would oppose giving a prisoner the key to the jail door. ——++e—____ Richard Croker is now to develop his ac- cemp‘ishments as an athlete. John L.

New Orleans and the Hand Organs. The New Orleans Picayune rises to pro- test against tne degeneracy of the hand- crgan. The Picayune, published in a com- munity once highly esteemed for its musical taste, deplcres the lowering of the standards of the music ground out by these peripatetic orchestras of the people, and expresses a fear lest the people will in time acquire low tastes in tnis direction. It would seem from this appeal for a more classical output of hand-organ music that the New Orleans product is confined almost exclusively to the reproduction of the so- called “popular” songs of the day, whereas once even the street musicians recognized a demand for the classics and gave the people music of a higher order. It is un- fortunate if there is ground for this plaint on the part of the Picayune, but it would seem that this journal has surely mistaken cause for effect. The street ntusicians are after pennies and they soon find where the pennies flow most freely. They classify their audiences according to their tastes, and it is the common experi- ence in this city that a preference once ex- pressed to cne of these Wandering minstrels forthwith produces the personal favorite— if it be on the cylinder—and forever after that particular tune is given whenever that particular organ {s brought to halt at that same place. The memory of these men is something beyond comprehension. It is likewise the experience of Washingtonians that there fs no lack, here at least, of classical productions from the organs, or “hand plancs,” as they are sometimes called. Indeed, the local repertoire of these instruments abounds in selections from the masters of music, and it has been an agree- able observation of late that the tendency has been away from the “popular” miusic and toward the classics, This can be ac- }ward of counted for only on the ground that the people want this sort of music and that thé grinders have discovered the fact and are supplying it. On the same basis it would appear that the people of New Orleans are “If they’re Rich’s - -. Shoes. theyre proper.” oa oad . themselves to blame for their over-supply ere of “musical rot,” as the Picayune aptly Ten-two F. calls the grist there ground out to the : masses.

From the Honolulu Star. There is very little doubt that if annex- ation to the United States does not come the ul@jmate end of Hawaii will be absorp- tion by Japin. The Hawaiian has before him the alternative of the east or of the west. His true friends have striven and are striving to keep him with the west; his blind guides and most secret enemies try to drive him to the east. The one will care for him, will make him a free citizen of a free state and will elevate him .mor- ally and socially. The other will trample him out out of existence. The Asiatic does not assimilate, he simply rolls over a coun- try like a flood, and the aboriginals of the country cease to exist; they were and they were not. That will be the fate of the Hawatian should he lose annexation to the United States. “Maryland Club” Whisky,-$1-25 qt., at Bryan’s —= oO “MARYLAND CLUB". {is known and wherever fine whisky is appreciated.
