As a News and Advertising Medium it has mo eemvyetitor. order to avoid delays, on ac- of personal absence, letters to THE STAR t be addressed to any 2d with the Mice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editortal or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. ‘The Water Meter Injustice. The House of Representatives should by all means amend the District appropria- tion bill by striking out the provision thai was added to the erdinary paragraph about the water department, in the following and for the purchase, erection, ction of water meters of the meter be available in the water fund, during the fiscal year 1899, after providing for the expenditures hereinbefore author- ized, is hereby appropriated. The widest possible latitude is hereby given to the Commissioners for the fulfill- ment of their project of making the do- mestic users of the Potomac water pay for their supply by the gallon. The wrong to the individual consumer that is pogsible under such a system has been pointed out fully in The Star recently. It remains to indicate a source of evil in this provision that bears upon the manner in which the District's money is to be spent. This meter service {s to be installed, according to the quoted provision, wholly out of the surplus water funds, which come exclusively from the water users of the District, who pay rents. In ether words, it is solely the of citizens of the District, and in its expenditure fer the purpose named it will not accompanied by equivalent amounts from the general government, as are other sums taken from the taxpayers of the rict for local improvements. This surplus fund, which it is now pro- posed to use for the gradual installation ol Water meters, amounted at the end of the lst fiscal year, in round numbers, to ¥s.000. In former years it has been used to pay the District's half of the debt in- curred by the partial construction of the abandoned tunnel and reservoir, for which the government first paid in full and then reimbursed itself by appropriating the proper proportion from the local revenues. This vse of the surplus suggests a similar use new, when there is need for one if not both of two betterments, in the water supply service of the capital. One of these is the purification of the supply by filtra- tion; the other is the increase of the sup- ply-the unmistakable increase—by the completion of the tunnel and reservoir, for which the District and the nation have each paid half the cost without enjoying one penny’s Worth of benefit. Expenditure upon the tunnel project, which would make it of Fractical use, would render productive the vutlay of some two millions, matters now stand, is a dead loss District and the nation. There would not be the least protest from the District citizens if the available sur- plus were to be utilized hereafter as the District's ha'f of the necessary fund for the accomplishment of either or both of these needful betterments. In view of the fact that such has been the use of the sur- plus in the past, it would seem at least logical, and it appears to be certainly eco- may money be previous which, to the nomical to use it in the same way now, when there is far greater need for an un- mistakable increase in the supply and for clearer, purer water, than for the begin- {an expensive experimental installa- at will, at best, serve only to in- available supply by a minimum in annual driblets. The disproportion between the amount required for water meter equipment and the benefits to be expected therefrom is apperent upen the least survey of the sit- uation. It is calculated that at least one million dollars will be required to extend the meter service to all domestic users, and that the process will, under the pres- ent plans, cover a period of twelve years. By using the surplus from year to year for this purpose, it is plain that at no time in the interim will the District be in a post- tion to pay heavily in liquidation of its share of the cost of either of the two enumerated essentials concerning the water supply. The meter proposition is consequently antagonistic both to the completion of the tunnel and to the suggestion as to filtra- tion, which is now recommended by the surgeon general of the army and by other authorities as advisable, necessary. for if not absolutely the preservation of the health of the residents of the District. No amount of dribicet measurement will serve to purify the supply that passes through the meters. The water will continue to be a possible menace to health and as much a cause of suspicion against the wholesome- ness of ke tw toda: The fund course, ‘al conditions at the end of the ve years of meter installation as it is million to be taken from the water- for water meters would mean, with of the corresponding national two millions, if expended upon upon filtration, and the propo- short, Is to prevent these two millions of available resources from giving us to # certainty either more water or purer water, to forfeit one-half of the amount to spend the the national treasury, and to maining million for the benefit of the community as of some -r company. ———_—_ +++ Mr. Leiter's profits on his wheat deal amount to $400,000.

A cause is judged by its leading repre- sentatives, and particularly by those who die for it. They stand for it before the world, and in history. The cause of the Cuban insurgents does not suffer by this test e Stigmatised by its enemies as a mere sption of negroes and bandits, with eyes and aims only for plunder, it has to its credit now some notable achievements in both strategy and endurance, and on the list of those who have given their lives for it are th names of men whose deeds en- title their memories to lasting renown. The first of these notable sacrifices for Cuba was Jose Marti, €st character and accomplishments, @ stu- dent, a writer and a man of affairs. His appearance in the field was a mistake, but d to his ardent love of country. * Was at the council table, where could have 4 man of the high- rendered much valuable Service. But the cause was young at the ume, and he probably felt that in taking the field he would do good work by helping to rouse ments. battle Another name on this list is that of Gen- eral Maceo, which is respected now wher- ever dash and valor are appreciated in a soldier. He had great aptitude for the part he assumed in the revolt, and struck some stunning blows for Cuban liberty. He was betrayed to his death. It was a sort enthusiasm and increase enlist- He was a brave man, and died in of assassination, and was celebrated by the Spaniards with the gayety which as a rule goes with a fete. There were bonfires and processions, and the Spanish officer in command when the insurgent chief fell was publicly thanked and promotéd. The procedure was curious, but it testified in brutal Spanish fashion to the extraordi- nary merits of the boldest of the Cuban fighters. The latest name to be added to the list is that of General Aranguren. He was a very young man fer command—only twenty-three—but he had shown his quality as a soldier, and that was excellent. An unusual test came in the matter of Colonel Ruiz, whom, In the discharge of his duty as a soldier, he was obliged to execute. A weak or ay stupid man would have wavered. He did not, but promptly did his duty. His enemies will try in vain to smirch his memory in detailing the manner of his death. The true story ts, of course, not to be obtained from them. His emi- nence will make his memory a shining mark for their malevolent invention. His fame is secure among those with whom he served. Is it possible that men like these kad no inspiring cause for thelr activity above that of plunder? Did they show at any stage of their activity any sign or symp- tom of the freebooter? They were men of high character before the war began. Did they forfeit any of that character while in arms? Of course not. They went to war from conviction, and carried them- selves like men worthy of freedom. They shed luster on their cause, and have made it impossible for any ranting slanderer at this day to obtain serious audience in thi country for diatribes against Cuba and the men who are trying to make her inde- pendent. ——~e+o—___ The Teller Resolution. The President has again spoken on the financial question, and has again planted himself on the St. Louis platform. He quotes the financial plank in full. No part is omitted, no part especially emphasized. He stands where has stood since the 4th of March last, and where he will continue to stand during his whole term of office unless his position is changed for him by the terms of an international agreement as to free silver coinage. That is to say, that during his occupancy of the White House and control of the Treasury Depart- ment the credit of the government shall not be impaired by any departure on his part from the lines clearly laid down by the republican party. All the money of the country shall continue to be kept as good as the best money in service among the great nations of the world. The Senate immediately replies to this by reviving a deliverance twenty years old on the subject of coin payments, which never had the effect of law, and to which the effect of law is not now given. It is not intended to reach the President. It will not pass the House. And so the old in- quiry is suggested, If it is so soon to be done for, what was it begun for? There are differences of opinion about this, but there can be none about the re- spective value of the two deliverances. The President's, while announcing no new policy, is of the highest moment as show- ing his firm adherence to the old, the pres- ent policy. The Senate's has no practical value at all. Nothing in the way of in- fluencing the treasury policy will come of it. The question of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1 as an inde- pendent act of this government stands just where it stood before. It has not been ad- vanced in the slightest degree. Then what was it all about? That is the point. Some of the friends of currency re- form have been working for some action by Congress at this session, while others have thought it useless to attempt any- thing. Which one of the two factions have been the more encouraged by this demon- stration in the Senate? The question an- Swers itself. Has there been a little strat- egy practiced by the Senate simply to con- vince the country of the hopelessness of currency reform by this Congress? Mat- ters at least look a little plainer viewed in that light. —_—__+ ++ ____ Mr. Frye in New York. The speech of Senator Frye at the manu- facturers’ dirner in New York Thursday night is altcgether worthy of the very high praise which is everywhere greeting it. So strong was it, indeed, and so directly to the point, that it did not suffer in the try- ing comparisons of the evening. The Pres- ident naturally was the star, and delivered @ message of unusual moment, but the topic assigned to the junior senator from Maine was also of great interest, and he Tose to the cccasion, as he always does, with views of wide grasp and genuine statesmanship. The speech delivered was that of an American who loves his coun- try, and who not only sces the path of progress plainly but insists that it must be couragcourly followed. Mr. Frye belongs to that sturdy group of pubiic men who have given to the policy of the government during the past quarter of a century the characteristics which have counted for so much in the eyes of the world. That the United States is so much respected today; that her credit 1s so high and her best purpose so clear; that that purpose calls for far more than the mere marking of time in old paths and ruts, and points to enterprises of world-wide impor- tance; may be placed to the credit of those progressive statesmen among whom Mr. Frye is a notable figure. Ever since his appearance in national life he has steadily grown in usefulness and in the public esti- mation, until he is now recognized as one of the foremost men of his party. ——_- +e —_—_ While C.

It cannot be denied that Spanish generals are as a rule great thinkers. seo New York’s Mayoral Degberry. At his present rate of progress the new mayor of New York is likely to become the most heartily hated man in the great city. Although he has bzen in office less than a month, he has already succeeded in antag- nizing most of the heads of departments under the new charter, and has surrounded himself with such an atmosphere of su- pericr judgment and information that those who are ferced to do business with him are humiliated. Just now he is en- gaged with other officials in scrutinizing the annual estimates submitted by the de- partment chiefs, and his cross-questioning is amusing and ang2ring the taxpayers and the progressive elements of the city beyond measure. Perhaps it is Mayor Van Wyck’s thorough appreciation of his position that causes him to exercise his authority in the manner of a martinet. It may be that he sees that his real power is limited by the amount of latitude that it pleases Mr. Croker to permit him, and that he ts bent upon 2njoying to the full whatever little privileges acerue to him as mayor, The other day the charity commissioner, a Tammany man, was forced to bow to the ESR 9 ag eR aT ren yey mayor's dictum that the charities of New York were superior to any in the world, notwithstanding the positive assertion of th2 commissioner that some of the char- iteble institutions maintained by the mu- nicipality were a disgrace to any American community. This speech so angered the mayor that he peremptorily discontinued the conferenc>. The same spirit of intol- €rance with the least suggestion against the entire sufficiency of New York and New Yorkers was cvidenced later when the president of the board of education was explaining the estimates, and was sharply indicted by the mayor for the appointment of the teachers of higher grades from else- where than New York. The president of the board was forced to admit that it has been found impossible id find. the persons qualified for such positions in the city, and that it has be2n necessary-to go elsewhere for pedagogic talent, whereat His Honor became intensely enraged and denounced such disloyal sentiments and statements as unworthy of a New Yorker, ass>rting that it went without saying that the best of everything is to be found within the boundaries of Manhattan. This insularity of attitude ts nothing Revel for a New Yorker, but it is amazing when carried to such a violent extreme by an official who {s supposed to possess ju- dicial qualities and has been elevated to th: most important mayoralty in the United States. The accounts of the daily hearings before the mayor are punctuated with evidences of his entire unfitness for his office, and it may be that longebefor> his term has expired Mayor Van Wyck will prove to be a very heavy load fur even so astute a politician as Richard Croker to cart Small signs of rebellion against the mayor are appearing among th: faithful followers of the tiger, and his administ. tion of the affairs of the greater city prom- ises to be marked by some very warm cpi- sodes. +o —___ Commissioner Black's statement in re- gard to the action of the Commissioners, in disapproving cf the Brown electric sys- tem as used by the Capital Railway Com- pany is conclusive in showing that the corporation has been treated with great consideration by the authorities. The sus- picions against the contact system of pro- puision have been shown to the satisfac- tion of the Commirsioners to be well based and consequently they did right in pro- rouncing against the further use of the system in this city, especially when the trend ef local street railroad development is so markedly in the direction of the con- duit system. It is highly desirable that the entire city should be equipped witl: traction facilities on the same general basis. ———_—~+>____ If the habit among foreign celebrities of expressing their views for publication on this continent continues, Europeans will be obliged to subscribe to American papers in order to get the news. : ———+eo—___.

SHOOTING STARS, Beyond His Knowledge. “Do you really mean to stand by what you say about retiring from public life?” inquired the intimate friend just before an election. “How do I know?” responded the poiitt- cian. “I'm no prophet.” “Its a cur'us fack,” said Uncle ben, “dat de man who is onwillin’ to rest on Sunday is equally onwillin’ to labor de yuthuh six days.” The Universal Hope.

One of the great mistakes, according to general belief here, that ‘republicans in Congress are making, is the war on civil service reform. There 1s only a small minority of republicans in each branch who are active in this business, but they have votes enough with the dem- ocrats to carry on investigations and do other taings to give an impression to the country that the republican party is wag- ing a war on this reform. ‘The great majority of republicans in both House and Senate are in favor of the ex- tension of the law rather than its limita- tion, while President McKinley is a firm believer in civil service reform. Nothing will be done with his approval to discredit the law. But this agitation started in Con- gress will, according to the belief of many of tne leaders, be hurtful to the party in the coming campaign. As there is no probability of accomplishing anything | it is looked upon here as another of the un- fortunate mistakes or blunders which the party will be held responsible for before the country. _—— soo Gone With Dorsey Foults.
