8 THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, JULY 11, 1898-12 PAGE THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. . Editor. THE EVEMING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined etr- eulntion of the other Wasington dailies. As a News and Advortising Medium it haa no competitor. ln order to avoid delays, om ae- Cc i absence, fetters to THE STAR shoald not be reased 0 any individual convected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Edttortal or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor Books for the Library. Tt rests now with the people of the Dis- trict to decide how far the new free pub- library created by act of Congress and vartly provided for in the current 2ppro- priation act is to become immediately ef- ective as a means of distributing know!- edge amoug the men, women and children | »f the capital and as a “supplement of the public educational system of the District.” As appears in a statemet in today’s news columns the appropriation for the mai lance of this library does not extend to the purchase of books and the Ibrary’s es must be filled by private contribu- either of books or money wherewith to buy books. Something has already been lcne In this line, and it {s reasonably to »@ expected that much more wil! soon be fone to give the library a good start and to equip it without delay as a first-class collection for both reference and circula- tion. There are three methods whereby the library can be augmented. These are: First, to donate a memorial fund the in- terest of which is to be used for the pur- chase of books or periodicals; second, the direct donation of books; third, the dona- tion of money for the purchase of library supplies. The fund given by Mr. J. T. DuBois for the purchase of periodicals, the money given by Messrs. Woodward & Lothrop, C. S. Noyes and C. C. Glover and the books turned over to the new institu- tion by the Washington City Free Library eenstitute the nucleus now at hand for the accumulation of a library of sultable pro- portions. Thus each method of donation is well exemplified and others will probably ve inspired thereby. Elsewhere in today’s issue Is to be found a blank form of dona- tion to the library that can readily be cut out and used. There are doubtless many theusands of volumes that might easily be spared from private shelves, which would of immediate and particular value now when the library fs at its starting. This is to be a library for the people, and it is vighly desirable that all classes of citizens should take a direct interest in it, not oniy for the good it does to them, but for the »pportunity which it affords them to Jo geod to others. —_—_-+ ee —___- Spat Impossible Task. Admiral Cervera states his case with dig- y and simple truth. Confronted with the necessity of fighting in a land-locked har- bor at a disadvantage, or making a des- perate try for the open with the cnances a thousand to one against success, he chose the latter. He was overwhelmed, as he had ected to be. He proved no miracle and only a miracle could have saved him. The sitvation was fully understood both nm Havana and Madrid. The report is that frcm both places the Spanish admiral was ordered to leave the harbor. It was held that Spanish “honor” demanded the sacri- flee. Europe would frown upon a surren- ter. She would applaud a useless resist- snee leading up to annihilation. An anni- hilation followed. A similar sacrifice is demanded now of the y. Spain does not expect to succeed on 1. She realizes that she is overmatched re as she was on the sea. Fighting in mountam passes on the defensive, protected intrenchments and a thorough knowl- edge of the country, ste may continue to nfiet losses on the Americans, but she ~ould not conquer in open battle. The best she could hop? for would be to take a leaf from the book of the insurgenis and try to he enemy out. But the army, as did the navy, must make a sacrifice. General Blanco insists upon a slaughter as indispen sable to the vindication of Spanish “hono: The sentiment that Spain is trying to meet is probably not to be found a: this day even in Europe. The thing that Spain is ion, rying to defend and vindicate does not xist. Spain has shown no honor in dealing with her own people or with the American eople. She deceiving the one as she has other been grossly maligning the The truth is not in her. How, then, honor be? What purpose is served in ing her men on land and sea to de- tion when her crimes all stand ex- posed and her disgrace is already fixed? If very Spanish vein were opened tomorrow d all the blood let out the whole of the i flow would not wash out the Spanish ord in Cuba and the Philippines. Spain's effort to vindicate her “honor” is a far more difficult fob than her effort to whip the United States.

The Anacostia street railway accident of jast night emphasizes the urgent need of more care for the appliances of the sub- urban electric lines and of a rule or law against overcrowding. This disaster was ed, according to all accounts, by the breaking of a brake chain, due, no doubt, beth to the weakness of the parts and to the extraordinary load. The car was greatly crowded. It had started down a steep grade, one of the heaviest on any of the District car lines, and the strain on the brake chain was sudden and severe. The breaking of this necessary connection between the brake handle and the shoe made it impossible to stop the car by ordi- nary means. ‘The suburban roads running out ‘of Washington cross many high hiils and are often in the same peril as that which cul- minated Sunday night in the fatal acci- dent In Anacostia. Terrific speeds result from these grades, and it is a marvel that more accidents have not occurred as a re- sult of the fast running of cars and trains im and out of the city. This distressing affair shows that absolute reliance cannot be placed in the ordinary appliances for governing speed. One of two things and perhaps both should be required of the ed beyond the limits of evident safety. Not only were the seats ail filled, but pas- large crowds going to and from places of resort and amusement. Throughout the summer there have been complaints from | the patrons of the two lines running to an up-river resort, and the tales of personal discomforts and even of dangers connected with transit te and from this place is seemingly endless. The companies promise relief, but so far have failed to provide a sufficient degree of accommodation. ‘The Anacostia affair indicates that there is more than mere discomfort and annoyance to be feared from this cause. The over- loading of these cars should be pronounced by some competent legal authority a pun- ishable offense, and the sooner this is done the quicker the dangerous practice will cease. ~ The remedy lies in furnishing a sufficient number of vars to carry the people. Of course at the close of a suburban enter- tainment there is a general rush to the cars, and there is danger that the peopie will overcrowd the cars, despite all ef- forts to check them; but the trouble fies primarily in the general fear on the part of the people that the company will not supply enough facilities, and the natural tendency is for all to seek the first cars within reach to make sure of transporta- tion homeward. The Commissioners could reach the evil with a police regulation for- bidding the carrying of more than a cer- tain number of passengers, regulated by the number of seats, on any one car or train, violations of this rule to be severely punished, the company suffering. This would put a premium upon a liberal ser- vice that would perhaps be effective. ——_~+-___ A Chance for the Public-Spirited. the law creating the free public as a tax-sustained adjunct of the public schools the Cor issioners of the District are authorized “to accept and take title to all gifts, bequests and devices for the purpose of aiding in the maintenance or endowment of said library.” This combination of private subscription and tax maintenance creates the true pub- he library in the modern sense. The Hibra- rian of the Beston public library in a Forum article says: “Ther2 was profound foresight in the course taken by Mr. Pratt. Instead of placing his endowment in the hands of a private corporation he turned over the million dollars direct to the munic- ipality, merely stipulating that the city should appropriat> annually. an amount equal to the income of that sum for the maintenance of a free library. The private endowment, therefore, became merged in the public undsrtaking, and except for the name which perpetuatesggge memory of the gift the institution would appear simply as @ municipal enterprise on the part of the city of Baltimore.” The same principle has governed Mr. Carnegie in his numerous gifts of libraries as to Edinburgh, Ayr and Dumfermline in Scotland, Johnstown, Alleghany City and Pittsburg, Pa., and Fairfield, Iowa. Mr. Carnegte {s quoted in the October 1895 Re- view of Reviews as saying: “The result of my own study of the question*‘What is the best gift which can be given to a com- munity?’ is that a free library occupies the first place, provided the community will accept and maintain it as a public institu- tien as much a part of the city property as its public schools, and indeed an adjunct to thos in the course of his remarks at the dedication of the library which he gave to Pittsburg Mr. Carnegie said: “When the library is supported by the community as Pittsburg is wisely to support her library all taint of charity is dispelled. Every citi- zen of Pittsburg, even the very humblest, now walks into his own library, for the poorest laborer contributes his mite, indi- rectly, to its support.” The tax-sustaining library thus lauded by Carnegie, is now created for Washington, and invites the consideration and co-opera- tion of the public-spirited benefactors who will be its Pratts and Carnegies. There cau be no nobler donation than that which endows the capitai’s free pubiic Ibrary. ——————“~+e—____ Amenities of Wartare. Spain may thank her lucky stars that she is fighting against a civilized and courteous foe. The other day the War Department allowed Admiral Cervera to send his offi- cial report of the naval fight to Blanco through the censored wires. More recently the American commanders at Santiago granted permission to the cable operators to return to the city to transmit the mes- sage to Madrid relative to the demand for surrender. Admiral Cervera is to be pa- roled at Annapolis and the limit of courtesy is to be extended to his higher officers while they ar in American custody. The captured Spanish officers were permitted to retain their swords when captured the other day after the fight. Admiral Cer- vera was transferred from one American ship to another in order that he might be given the comforts of an unused admiral’s cabin. Admiral Dewey has granted the Spanish officials at Manila many similar courtesies and in every American organiza- tion the utmost care is exercised to pre- serve the rights of the enemy, to observe the niceties of civilized warfare and to vio- late none of the humanities. The other side of t'e picture is not as pleasant for contempl tion. Comparisons are particu- larly odi us just now when success is run- ning this way and it would be ungenerous to institute painful parallels. The fact re- mains, however, that Spain is to be con- gratulated on not facing another Spain. —re=—____ Alleged Barbarities. General Shafter emphatically danies the story that Spanish prisoners, turned over to the Cubans, were murdered in cold blood. A similar denial is hoped-for and may, per- haps, be reasonably expect2d in respect to the reports of the Inhuman massacre of Spanish refugees by Cuban soldiers after the destruction of Cervera’s fleet off Santi- ago. But if the alleged barbarities had actually occurred Spain would have had little if any ground of complaint. She set the example. It would only be another case of “bloody instructions, which, being taught, return to plague the inventor.” When those victims of years, of crusl oppression remembered how the women of Cuba have been out- raged by the soldiery of Spain, how infancy and old age together have been deliberately starved to death, and how non-combatants have been shot down in cold blood, by mili- tary orders, it would be not at all surpris- ing if a wild spirit of revenge should mant- fest itself when an opportunity to settle old seores was presented. Still, such acts would be wholly in:xcusable in our allies, and it is both the right and duty of civilization to protest against them and to prevent them. ——>+2e—___ If the pronunciation of foreign words in the Philippines becomes tiresome there are plenty of American heroes after whom the cities can be named. 3 Cervera is a distinguished foreigner who is in no danger of being persecuted with atterticns by society. ——_—_— 2-2 ____ The public vigorously resents any ten- dency to put Commodore Schley’s name in the “also fought” ist. ——__++-_____ ‘The Wider New View. The new issues, in general terms, are be- fore the people. The addresses delivered by representative men, as well as the utter- ances of representative newspapers, gave to the Fourth throughout the whole coun- try an unusual interest and significance. One searches in vain for any allusion to what are now the old topics. There were to McKinleyites or Bryanites, no republi- cans, democrats or populists in evidence, but only Americans. It was everywhere safely assumed that the United States would be victorious over Spain, and what the country’s future course should be with respect to international matters was the ene subject discussed. We shall gain as a people by this widen- ing ef our horizon. We shall benefit by this throwing open of the doors and win- dows and this looking out on the world at large. We had been too long shut up. The atmosphere had become close and heavy. Our domestic contentions had become tov heated. Our too long introspection had led | us to magnify the evils we were enduring. | The optimist was losing faith. The pessi- mist was becoming confirmed in his worst fears. People were taking the stump here and there and proclaiming that the repub‘ic Was a failure. ¥ Who says today that the republic fs a failure? Who denies today that we have, with all of Its faults, the very best govern- ment under the sun? Where is the citizen who did not on the Fourth, in spirit, if not in action, join in the felicitations of that day; who was not the prouder for being the fellow-countryman of Schley and Sampson, and whose heart did not swell at the thought that the guns at Santiago, like those at Manila, had given proof to the world of the power and unity of this nation? ‘The study of geography and of the gov- ernmental conditions of other countries, made necessary by this war, has alone been of great service to the great body of the American people. It has taught them to appreciate their own country and thelr own achievements, and the sacred duty of pre- serving and advancing what they have established. The United States, as they see, has attained to the front rank among the nations, and there it must remain, keep- ing pace with, if not leading in, the de- velopment of the world. —_ > +o ____ Spain's minister of finance will note the fact that the expense of Cervera’s Ameri- can tour will not be charged to the same account as the Duke of Veragua’s. ——_+ +s -_____ The discovery of gold in Michigan is calculated to strengthen an impression that nothing ts rupossible for that state so long as Mr. Pingree is governcr.
