Now that the senatorial fight is over in Ohio a very important duty devolves on winners. The party is torn, the wounds must be healed. Congress elec- tions are on the rds for this r, and next year will wit a state election again. Ohio is a republican state, but not by an overwhelming majority. The democrats have 1 times earried it on local fs- sues with strong men. The republicans cannot afford a standing factional row. At the same time a policy which would be too generous toward the defeated fac- tion ld be a mistake. It would lack the ntful spi There are some » cannot safely be condoned, carefully de- is one of t and Du! and vised and op L. Kurtz ought to be gested that he be of national committeeman.

Clearly, therefore, he should at once be made to give place to somebody in whom Ohio republicans and the coun- try at large have confidence.

In the senate the matter is difficult; but even there republican control might, by good management, be brov t about.

This feature, to- gether with the shade trees that been system: y placed cn the streets, in some ses in double rows, tends to give Washirgton an unusvally handsome ap- pearance. No attention has been paid, however, to the rear lots, largely for the Teason that the hov built generally in solid rows and these areas in the rear are not within view from the strects and are therefore relegated to such domes! vses as in too many cases create unsightly accurtlations and even tnwholesome con- ditions. with There est must be something wrong an etic sense that is content with only presentable front while it + looks complacently upon a disagreeable Prospect from ths rear windows. Not every householder ts thus satisfied with a dirty, unkept back yard. Probably a ma- Jority of the yards in the city are in good condition, but tae fact that high fences are the rule gives the few careless and indifferent ones a chance to follow thelr own course uninterrupted. Were <hese fences removed and the spaces exposed to general view it is fair to assume that there would be more consideration a for the conditions in the rear. In The Star of Saturday reference was had in the course of a discussion of the real estate situation to an excellent example that has been set by a property owner of the city who has removed the high fence around a back lot and has undertaken its cultivation in the same manner as a front parking is cared fcr by the householder. It would be most desirable if every block in the city might be given an interior court, green with grass and aglow in summer with flov Vines could be trained to cover necessary receptacles fer ashes and garbage and slight, low fences could mark the boendaries of the lots and afford limits for the little ones confined in their playing to the back yards. There is no proper use fer this space that does not comport with ‘The hanging of the wash would not be in the ieast h, and there would be quite as mich privacy at all times as is now po: in view of the observation points h a project. h ible, of the neighboring premises that upper windows afford. As long as the high fences are maintained the back yards will con- tinue to invite the accumulation of trash that would not be permitted to remain in t if the obstructions were removed. It seems unfortunate that every city house cannot afford a pleasant outlook from the back windows as well as from the fron Such a proposition Involves concerted ac- tion by owners. It is safe to assume that the renting qualities of a row of houses would be increased if each dwelling hal a rear lawn as well as a front parking. Such an experiment would be eagerly watched by both property owners and tenants. In some European cities this has been at- tempted with satisfactory results. +02 ——__ The New Member From York. The election to parliament yesterday by conservative votes of Lord Charles Beresford may be a forecast of consider- able importance in the light of his attitude on certain questions. Beresford is a naval officer, retired, a man of strong person- ality, a great favorite with the people and the holder of radical views in regard to England's military duty. His recent speeches, both before and during his can- didacy for pariiament, have been couched in terms of rather caustic comment on the condition of the English army and the im- potence of the navy in the lght of the absence of a strongly aggressive foreign policy. He has tended to criticise the gov- ernment to whose aid he is now sent by the people of York. His narrow majority, eleven votes, shows how close was the fight, and to his personal popularity is ascribed this present victory in a usually liberal borough. Beresford has been asked to “stand” for a large number of constituencies in the past, and has be- come the idol of many thousands of En- glishmen who have never seen him, but know him solely from his brilliant naval achievements and his ringing expressions. He may not be able to achieve any results in parliament along the line of his avowed policies, but he may prove a spur to the government, coming as he does from the people by so close a margin on the basis of such radical views. Beresford does not believe in reliance in the “Rule Britannia” spirit without a powerful fighting machine behind it, by and he will surely be watched the people for rousing suggestions to the ministry in debate. Just what effect produces remains to be seen in the light of the rapidly developing eastern situation. ————+ +e____ Tricks of the Trust. The sugar trust is working shrewdly in st the ification of the an annexation treaty. It is using r its purposes both its enemies and its friends. As is stated in the news columns ing the well-known antag- d it of certain senators, who opposed to the treaty on veriou cf reasoning or policy, to becloud 2 situation and to attract the votes of men who would not aid the anti-ratification se in the least if they were convinced ¢ the full purposes of the trust in this direction. These senators, it is thought, would vote for ratification rather than lend themselves to the schemes of the trust if they knew how far they are being used by this great corporation to defeat a project that is demanded by the public welfare but that interferes somewhat with the plans and ambitions of the trust. The friends of ‘the trust in the Senate, who are openly working against the treaty, are new able to point to the attitude of men who are well known to be bitterly opposed to all trade combinations, as so-called proof of the fact that the trust is not a factor in the fight. It ts practically demon- strated, however, that the trust's influ- erce is all that keeps the treaty from being ratified at once with a large pre- ponderance of votes. Were that influence withdrawn the opposition would dwindle to a mere handful. ——_s+e__ Seaton Perry's Death, ‘The death of Mr. Seaton Perry is a sad blow to the multitude of his friends in this community. A Washingtonian by birth and uninterrupted business associa- tion, Mr. Perry had won the esteem of the citizens of the capital by his personal qualities as well as by his absolute in- tegrity. Continuing with marked success and ability the business founded by his father, he had become one of the substan- tial men of Washington, and his recogni- tion of the demands of progress had shown him to be fully alive to the requirements as well as the opportunities of the period. In this sad event Mr. Perry’s family will have the heartfelt sympathy of all. + +0 It is to be feared that the only things of importance that will be accomplished in much of the debate in the House of Repre- sentatives will be the development of op- portunities for Mr. Allen of Mississippi to display his refreshing talents as a racon- teur. Reed may yet be so cruel as to car ry his prohibition of the custom of printing unspoken speeches in the Record further and insist that remarks shall appear in type exactly as they were delivered, re- gardless of erratic syntax and mixed meta- phor. ——_ + 0e—____ In order to keep down the expenses of ecurt procedure it may be necessary to inelude in the examination of candidates for the jury box inquiries as to the kind of cigars they smoke and whether or not they have champagne appetites. —_ + +e—__—_ General Blanco might take advantage of the belligerent mood of his soldiers and send invitations to the insurgents to come to Havara a few at a time and be whipped. ——++e—___ Detectives are constanily shadowing Gen- eral Weyler So leng as his conversationa: powers survive there will be no difficulty in locating him. —_ + ee Spain's Embarrassment. ‘The news from Havana and Madrid, though meager ard in some particulars lacking full confirmation, is nevertheless disquieting. The riotings in Havana show that the autonomy scheme has practically failed to solve the Cuban problem. In Madrid, doubtless inspired by the demon- strations in Havana, the authorities have doubled the police guard over the United States legation to prevent an outrage upon the person of the American minister. The Spanish government, it is thus seen, is faced with the double danger that the situ- ation in Cuba may at any moment grow acute to the po‘nt of precipitating a grave crisis with this country, while at home even more serious considerations are to be met. The Carlists are active, the repub- licans are alert to take advantage of every opportunity to foment trouble and the Weylerian party, now definite enough to be regarded as a factor in the composite or- ganism of Spain, is shouting for vengeance upon tke traducers of their favorite. The ministry is known to be at varlance with the Cortes on certain policies and the pre- mier is not strong with the people in thi® emergency. Spain fs in sore straits indeed. —++e—___ David B.

And, of course, an aronymous letter is out of the question. ‘There is nothing meaner, more unmanly and more undignified and cowardly than an anonymous letter. I know what I'll do! I'll wait till next month and send him a comic valentine.” A Fear. “I cannot help admiring Miss Passeigh’s ccmplexion,” remarked Willie Wishington. “I am very much afraid,” rejoined Miss Cayenne, “that you are drifting into the vulgar habit of judging things by what they cost."’ Chorus of Citizens, Cheer up, men and women! Cheer up, girls and boys! Doubts are disappearing fast And making room for joys. Capitol was empty; Gloomy, though ‘twas grand; But now they’re doing business At the same old stand!

We can take vacations And listen to the band, For now they're doing business At the same old stand! —__+ + = ____ Sultan’s Triumphs as Seen in the East From the London Spectator. The Indian Mohammedans heard that the Khalif had triumphed over the infidel, and the ne went to the heads of the Moham- medans of Delhi and Oudh, just as now it has gone to the neads of the tribesmen of the frontier. In both cases it urged them, regardless of all consequences, to strike blew for the faith. The descriptions that h been given of the Greek war to the frentiersmen are probably not unlike those of the Crimea, that were given all over th Mohammedan world. The sulta it wa said, was attacked by the Russian dogs. Not caring to demean himself by fighting them in person, he sent for his slaves, the ench and English, to drive them from borders. This act the sultan’s Christian es faithfully performed, and fur their leyalty he showed them some favor. But to the Khalif—the shadow of God—not to the tools he used—was due the destruction of the accursed Russians. ‘That was the story told throughout Asia Minor, North Africa and Central Asia, and picusly believed. Doubtless the Afridis and the men of all the valleys and deserts from Quetta to Chitral have heard similar ex- travagances in regard to the Greek cam- paign. The Greeks, they were doubtless told, are as much stronger and braver than the Hritish as the British are stronger and braver than the Bengalese, yet these in- vircibie warriors fled before the sultan. —_—___+ +e —___ A West Virginia Industry. From the Richmond Dispatch, West Virginia: seems to be doing a thriv- ing business upon the charters granted by her. Corporators from many sections of the country go there to get the charters they require and willingly pay the annual charge that is demanded. —_—_s0o— North Dakota Divorces. From the Valley City, N. D., Times-Record. In order to be a citizen of this state a man must be a resident for one year. To obtain a divorce a residence of ninety days is sufficient. With this exception the divorce laws of North Dakota are not such as to bring the fair name of the state into obloquy. But this ninety-day provision brings into the state a miscellaneous as- sortinent of matrimonial misfits who air their dirty linen in our courts and then leave the state. Shyster lawyers fatten on + practice, like vultures on car- and a few hotel keepers are the only ones to receive any benefit. —_—__~os—__—_ Necensity and Diplomacy. From the Galveston News.

If the new concert of the powers, re- perted to have been made in Corea, shall work as weil as its prototype did in the Greco-Turkish difficulty, white-winged peace and tae dawn of prosperity will soon spread their beneficent influence over the Land of Morning Calm. As reported, the plan is for McLeavy Brown, the British representative, to continue as chief coim- missioner of customs, while Russia will have a representative at one port and Ja- pan one at another. The advantages of such a plan and its influence for good are obvious. Spare the Birds, From the London Times. Women have known for years, or might have known, that the wearing of feathers— other than those of ostriches or of birds bred and killed for foof—is unworthy of their womanhood. But fashion still bids them wear them, and against fashion there is no appeal. If fashion so ordered it not a feather would be sold in London or worn in England. Unless fashion so orders it neither religion nor morals, neither good taste nor good sense affords any restraint potent enough to withstand the heartless decrees of this arbitrary and incalculable authority. —__+ + «-___ Others?
