The dollar of immediate gain is not to | be the ecntroliing consideration. The Times j throws up its hands in amazement because nable to find that ‘The Star's crusade | against the overhead trolley brought to it ing'e penny of direct benefit. The re- ward, as in the inStance cited, is found in the increased ccnfidence and regard of the commtnity and in the enjoyment with the whole city of the tenefits of the model un- derground electric system, with which, as a result of the arti-trolley fight, the na- tional capital is blessed. The Star will therefore continue to med- die in every affair in which it can strike a blow for the berefii of the city and peopl of Washington, disregarding necessarily the terrible conseqvences with which its co- temporary threatens it. It cannot assent to the Times’ idea, as 2xemplified by precept and practice, of what constitutes a news- paper. The Star would not consider itself a newspaper at all, if, lacking the Associated Press facilities, special correspondents and a large and expert local force, it wer? re- duced to become a journalistic chiffonnier, picking from and working over the drop- pings of the New York newspapers, or if, denied public confidence in its honesty, sin- cerity and disinterestedness of purpose, it were degraded from the position of defender ef the city’s welfare, and sunk to become merely the exponent of the views of its owners’ personal investments. ‘Nhe name of newspaper is misused and abused when ap- P to a sheet which speaks only as the money talks in its owner's pocket book, and which serves its main purpose as an ad- junct useful in his business of promoter ef legislative and speculative schemes. ne Li Hung Chang a In view of the present impotence of the British minisiry’s policies with regard to the far ¢ the announcement now com- ing from Legidon that the foreign office wil @emand the removel of Li Hung Chang from power, on the ground that he is r for the present i-British atti- Chinese diplomatic administr ‘Psung-Li-Yamen—wil th doubts.

One consequence of this waning of force has been the emergence of Li Hung Chang from his retirement into a position of power, and as he is avowedly anti-British and pro-Russian in his sym- pathies the government at St. Petersburg has made rapid advances toward the con- trol over the government at Pekin which is so vital a necessity in view of the exten- program that Russia bas mapped out.

The low places where these temporary inunda- tions occur are as a rule in the older por- tions of the city, where the sewers were laid many years ago, without proper con- sideration for the great increase in the pressure upon them. They are inadequate both as to their own capacity and as to their outlets. Then, tco, they are unpro- vided with flood gates and not only fail to carry off the drainage of the storms, but often contribute to the water in the streets by “backing.” The plans for sewering the District on @ comprehensive system and in The functions of a newspaper, according. accordance with modern conditions contem- plate the cure of just suck evils, and these Kittle floods give ample evidence of the ne- cessity for their prompt ¢xecution.

With the acquisition of Spanish territory the study of the Spanish language in this country will be increased, but a more im- portant educational work will be the spread of the English language in the annexed ter- ritory.
