THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY........ -+++-Mareh 12, 1898. CROSBY S. NOYES...............Editor. THE EVENING STAR has @ permanent Family C: much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. &7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be address-d fice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. A Co Senor Sagasta flouts the rumors of a change in the Spanish ministry. He de- clares that these who are now in office will remain at their posts, however diffi- cult and trying their duties may be or may become. That is rot unwelcome news here. Our own affairs are in the same hands that have been guidirg them during the most momentous year of the three years sinve the war in Cuba began, and they have pot suffered. On the contrary, a distinct ad- vance on the American side has been made all along the line. The record is encouraging in every feat- ure. First came the recall of General Wey- ler. That was due to the influence cf the administration. It was made entirely plain to Spain that such atrocitics as her com- mander-in-chief had inaugurated and was @efiantly perpetuating in Cuba rendered his longer presence in the {sland unbeara>le to the United States. Spain had indorsed him to the letter, but she recalled him. Attention was then directed to the con- dition of the reconcentrados—Spain’s own subjects starving under Spain’s own flag. mtly Advancing Course. It was a most unusual thing for one gov- | ernment to charge itself with the task of feeding the people of another government, starving Ly the decrees of that govera- ment. But this the United States Jid,,and Spain, without a blush, consented. The Maine was sent to Havana for no other reason but to protect American lives and property against the threatened upris- ing of a Sparish mob. The ship was tot welcome, but Spain entered no forma! pro- test. She saw that such a step on her part would be unavailing. She would not ac- knowledge that war existed in Cuba, but she dared not resist this recognition of the fact on the part of the United States. It is not to be denied, therefore, that President McKinicy’s course has been an advancing one from the outset. If he has aisappoiated the more ardent friends of Cuba it is only fair to remember that he inherited a very difficult situation. But the case now, more than ever before, has been freed of cld connections and incumbrances; and, judging by the past, the President's future course gives every promise of satis- fying populur sentiment in the United States on the subject of bringing Spanish misrule in Cuba to an early end. ——_~+e—___ Modern Rapid Transit Equipment. It is reassuring to learn that the work of transforming the Seventh street cable road to an elecirical basis can be accomplished without disturbing the rapid transit serv- ce. Of course the process of replacing the cabie will be more protracted than would be the case if the work were done at the expense of the convenience of the users of the road, but there will be very dispositicn to submit patienuy to the lelay in view of the non-disturbance of the traffie arrengements of this important thor- oughfare. It would be a serious hardship om the users of the Seventh street line to have the rcad put back, even for a few weeks, on a horse basis. The street is a succession of hills from the river to the beundary and the haul northward by horses is remembered as one of the most tedious of local experiences. The company and the contractor for this work are to be con- gratulated upon the discovery of means of cbanging the system in this manner. This city has witressed many interesting experi- ments and enterprises in the field of acquir- ing rapid transit but none that has attract- ed more attention from the engineering world than will this method of transferring a cable road into the most modern form of electrical equipment. This matter admira- bly illustrates tne thoroughly up-to-date tendencies of the copital city in all such af- airs. For some time Washington's rapid transit equipment, as far as it has gone, been equal to any other in this country, and the processes now under way will place t beyond all doubt in the front rank. The extension of the electrical service to the Peace monument is most gratifying to the citizens, thus afforded a rapid transit accommodation on a part at least of the city’s chief thoroughfare once more, af- ter a dela five months and a half. Aii red, in of the fact that the fire of Septe: er plant of the long and tediou: new plant of unusual c: that has been made 1 are ny and nec process ¢ pa the progress isfactory, and the ° prevails in the sections still infested >»y the Capital Traction car horse that this pace of rapid transit installation will be maintained. —— eo The safe arrival of the Paris today on the other side of the ntic after three days f delay occ od season to prevent some excited imagination from conceiving he possibility that she mght have fouled aith a Spanish imine. 0 —__ If it were not for the excessive charges zeneral Wevler would doubtless undertake to regulate affairs tance telephone. —_~++e—____ © Defense Opens. Captain Peral, president of the Spanish court of inquiry into the causes and cir- cumstances of the Maine disaster, has as- sumed the role of chief counsei for the de- fense and has presented his opening angu- ment. The statements attributed to him in in interview that seems to have every in- ication of genuineness—though pronounced to be “uno: —are to be likened to noth- ng else than the plea of a counsel. It can not be taken as the opinion of a judge, for captain Peral distinetly declares that the inquiry ix not yet concluded and that the work of the divers and the investigating Spanish officers will be eontinued with vigor. Notwithstanding the incomplete nature of the inquiry, nish officer puts forth ‘n assertion of opinion that the Maine was lestro; by an internal explosion. He leprecates any suggestion of carelessness t lax discipline on board and insinuates hat the accident was due to unavoidable causes, working unseen and unheard. He seeks to fortify this opinion, which he claims to be based upon the evidences thus far disclosed, by citing imstances of ex- plosions from similiar causes. This action on the part of the Spanish in- yestigator is of course highly improper and when judged by American standards it can be considered only as a gress breach of oficial etiquette and even a breach of in- ternational courtesy. The American offi- cers detailed for a similar duty have been exceedingly careful to withhold their per- sonal or official views. There has not been the slightest intimation, even in the course of the most sensational dispatches, of direct Quotation of the sentiment of these officers. Such a course is in accordance with all the doctrines of naval administration and im line with the ethics of the American ser- vice. In view of the extremely important nature of the investigation and the grave in Cuba by long-dis- possibilities hanging upon the conclusion ef that research, it would be one of the. worst Possible violations of good faith and official honor for any leakage to be permitted from the court to the public. Even Captain Peral distinctly declares in his interview that the Spanish law forbids an official éx- pression of opinion from him but seeks to shield himself behind the silly assertion that he talks unofficially. This brazen effort to prejudice the minds of the Spanish people by arguing the case before it has been fully disclosed in its de- tails will serve only to the disadvantage of Spain. It will not have any weight with the American public, confident as it is that the naval court of American officers will present the case in its exact bearings and with a sufficiency of testimony to warrant the most positive conclusions. Indeed, all that is important about the interview with Captain Peral, aside from its disclosure of bad manners and bad judgment, is that it may be regarded as a statement of what the Spanish court expects or intends to prove, and, presumably what it will claim to have proved irrespective of the evidence when the investigation is completed. In advance of an indictment and the presen- tation of evidence in support of the indict- ment Spain assumes the role of one accused of crime, and Captain Peral as attorney for Spain pushes in ahead of the prosecution to present his opening address to the jury. ——_++e______ An Orator and His Boomerang. Charles J. Brénston is a senator in the Kentucky legislature representing the Lex- ington district, and one of the leaders of the new democracy of that state. Aggres- sive and oratorical, he stumped the state in. the campaign of 1896, and “set the pegs” in the denunciation of the gold democrats. He singled Mr. Carlisle out for some of his choicest flings. In his eyes the men who had bolted the action of the Chicago con- vention were simply traitors. They hai deserved the stigma, and should be made to wear it. They coyld not excuse themseivés on the score of having convictions of their own on the money question. A good party man—a good democrat particularly—must not set up individual convictions against the deliverance of the majority when formally made. The action of the Chicago convention, both as respected platform and candidate, was binding on all democrats, because, through it, the majority had spoken. Mr. Bronston has been participating in the work of the body of which he is a mem- ber. The whole session has been one long revel in foolish legislation. The silver men have been in complete control, and have sought to write into laws the most ex- travagant of their stump éeliverances against corporations and other business in- terests. Some of the measures proposed have been so extreme that caucus action was found necessary to pass them. The voice of the majority had to be invoked dn order to force them through. Now who should appear to resist even caucus action on these extreme measures but Mr. Bronston. The voice of the major- ity has not sufficed to force him to the sup- port of measures which he thought inimicai to the public, and to his party’s welfare. He has had the courage to stand out against them, speak against them, point cut thelr dangers and defects. And his judgment has kept pace with his courage. He has picked out the worst bills with un- erring accuracy, and sqme of his speeches against them have been worthy of the best days of his'state. Bui will Mr. Bronsten concede now that Mr. Carlisle and Senator Lindsay had the right to disobey the voice of the majority at Cnicago two years ago in a matter which they thought involved the public's and the party’s welfare? A national con- vention is but a larger caucus. Its power to bind is no greater than that of a caucus. A man of conscience and courage may re- sist one with the same propriety that he may resist the other. The bolter, as Mr. Bronston has demonstrated in his own case, is not necessarily a traitor. Telephone Espionage Again. The testimony now being given before the House subcommittee investigating the telephones shows that if there be need of further legislation than that already enacted in the District appropriation bill such an enactment should take the form of a stringent regulation preventing the telephone company from maintaining any scrt of espionage over the conversations of "phone users. The process of regulat- ing the corporation is by no means com- pleted, for there is evident necessity for scme law or laws that will prevent the srowth of abuses of the powers casually in the possession of the telephone com- pany. The subcommitiee has been told how even governmental secrets necessarily intrusted to the telephone service are seized upon by the operators and officials of the company, and, perchance, hawked about to the disadvantage of the adminis- trative agencies of the government. New Ycrkers include this item of protest in their bill of complaint against the tele- phcne company. One of the largest news- pepers recently published a series of in- stances of this sort of eavesdropping by the operators and others superior to them in the telephone organization. Important and exclusive news has frequently been miedo Gonumcey teropentse hin ihistiiadace! It is to be hoped that the local company will learn the lesson afforded by the leg- islation already enacted and will so con- Guct itself toward the public in the future that it will win the confidence and good will of the community and through it of Cengress. In ne other way than by such a course can the company hope to fore- stall further efforts to rid the capital of what threatens to become a nulsance and to secure the substitution of a good-nat- vred, accommodating servant of the people in the form of some company that fs per- fectly willing to give good telephone serv- ice, free from objectionable features, at a moderate rate. ————__++«—_____ ‘The kaiser is said to have declared that Yankees shall not take possession of Cuba, with gravest emphasis.

The little town of Windsor Locks, Conn., is blessed with an administration of which it may be proud without any display of egotism. The selectmen of that little mun- icipality are of the right sert. They are worthy of transplantation to some larger sphere of action. Men of their stamp are nezded in practically every large city in the United States. The test that developed their qualities came the other day when the local telephone company sought to 2rect poles for which it had no legal per- mit. The company stole a march on the authorities and actually put the poles in the ground and strung the wires, but the lines bad not been put in service when the selectm2n determined to flank this move. They gave strict orders to the town con- stable to remove the poles by force and then these wise conservators of the public weal b2took themselves far beyond the reach of injunctions and court orders. The constable did his duty as he found it, level- ling the poles and removing the objection- able wires. On the poles were cartain elec- tric lighting wires. The officials of the telephone company sought to persuade the engineer of the =lectric lighting plant to turn a current into those particular wires, so that the work of removing the poles would be dangerous to the constable’s force. This the enginear wisely refused to do and the electric lighting wires were spared. Then the szlectman came back, submitted to the servic: of legal documents upon them and the case is now in court— and the poles are down. Larger commun- ities might well learn a substantial lesson in town government from this episode. The moral is that wh2n dealings are had with corporations that seek to become suf- ficient unto themselves iu the occupancy of Public spaces the only safe course is that which leads to action first, followed by liti- gation. The sooner the various str2et us- ing companies learn tie lesson that is awaiting their consideration the better it will be for them and the community. This is that there are always two ways to ac- complish a desird result, the right way and the wrong way. The company that seeks to do what the citizens do not want by means of the wrong way will suffer ul- timately, for the citizens are the power be- hind all things in this couutry. ——++-+___ The average American citizen will not tréuble himself very greatly about Wall street negotiations, but be content to ob- serve that practical patriotism has reached the fifty-million dollar mark and is still rising. —_—__+++_____ There is not the slightest room for doubt that the sailors on the monitor Terror are men of iron nerve.

SHOOTING STARS, Vario. Tactics. “Did you know,” said the Spanish stu- dent, “that when the Chinese go into war they beat gongs and send off fireworks?” “How foolish!’ mused the general. “When they get anything on their minds why don’t they write it?” Force Necessary. “Why don’t you let your mustache grow?” inquired Willie Wibbles’ friend. “Why don’t I let it?” was the echoed re- sponse. “You mean ‘Why don’t I make 1s ae Uncertainty.

Put in the language of English courts, M. libelled certain persons and pleaded ‘ation. He was called upon to justify what he had said and at the same time prevented from dealing with the material facts of the case. Yet at the same time these facts were freely dealt with by way of assertion damaging to M. Zola’s case by the very persons whose conduct was in question. “Thus the civil trial, like the military ones, degenerated into a travesty of justice, and the court, sitting with open doors and administering ‘the civil law, was as absolutely dominated by the military element and by military ideas as the courts-martial themselves. That is the ap- palling outcome of the whole affair which must today cause the profoundest mis givings among all Frenchmen capable of serious reflection. Their thoughts will as- suredly be none the less sombre for the fact that the undisguised dictation of gen- erals, not ashamed to threaten the jury with ‘the resignation of the general staff, was hailed with acclamation by the mob which in its zeal for the army broke the heads of those who had the audacious loyalty to cry vive la republique. ee Owning Postal Cars. From the Kansas City Star. The express companies have found it more profitable to own their cars and pay mileage for having them hauled than to uge cars run by the railroads, and it seems as though the government should do the same thing. Then there could be no op- portunity for the frauds which, it is al- leged, are practiced by the railroad com- |° panies at eech annual weighing of the mails in trans‘t, the government would know definitely what it is paying for, and its payments to the railroads could be com- pared with charges made for similar serv- ices to individuals and corporations. A revision of railroad contracts and the purchase of postal cars seems to be the reform in the postal department that is needed more than any other. Newsboys’ Rights. From the Springfield Republican. ‘The judgment comes from the District court at the national capital that the sale @f newspapers on the streets is a legiti- mate business, and that newsboys have a right to enter street cars and sell Papers to passengers provided they behave them- selves and leave the car when their busi- ness is finished. One newsboy was forcibly «jected from a car in Washington some time ago and had a leg crushed by a car running on the other track. He has just oveained an award of $5,000 es from a jury under instructions to the above. ef- fect by the judge. —\>r+e—___ The President and His Powers, From the New York Times.
