6 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY September 7, 1898. CROSBY S. NOYES.. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- cnlation of the other Washington jes. As a News and Advertising m it has no competitor. [7 im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. The Homeward Journey. Cel. Harries, whese thought has from first to last been for the comfort and wel- fare of the men under his command, has sovght to minimize as far as possible the fatigues and hardships of the journey to Washington. He planned, with the ap- preval of Gen. Wheeler, to have the regi- ment sent from Camp Wikoff to Jersey City by boat and from Jersey City to Washing- ton in teurist sleeping cars. The time chcsen was calculated to expose the men to the least degree of discomfort from the heat and the incidental weariness of travel. It was suggested this morning that in all prcbability no boat or boats can be secured for the transportation of the regiment from Mcntauk to Jersey City and that the men ke their chances of finding tourist at the latter point for the trip to hingon. etary Alger’s promise to issue orders that all the tourist sleepers or other sleep- ers available shall be utilized by the regi- ment, and that if any man is not thus sup- plied he shall have a full seat In a day couch on which to recline, shows that he takes a deep end abiding interest in the welfare of the District boys, to whom he bade Godspeed on their departure from tne capital. These orders promptly issued will undoubtedly render available a sufficient number of tourist cars. When the regiment went south to Chickamauga, robust and incapable of fatigue, these sleepers were provided. If such care was exercised for the comfort of well men, just starting out on their errand of patriotism, surely it is due to them now, when they are weak and debilitated from the effects of the cam- paign, that they should be treated with at least an equal degree of consideration. If water transportation is provided from Montauk, it is not necessary to use a dis- mantled transport. New York bay and the trflowing rivers are alive with excursion craft of all sizes, easily to be had for low rates. and eminently suitable for the trip from Montauk to Jersey City. Even now one of these boats could be sent around to the camp in season to take the regiment to its train at Jersey City. If, however, the regiment is required to travel by rail to New York, it is hoped that the expe- rience of the 8th Ohio will not be permitted to be repeated. The men of this regiment were forced to lie about the station at Montauk Point for nine hours in the broil- irg sun yesterday because some official in New York had failed to adjust affairs ac- cording to a well-defined program laid down by the colenel and approved by the President and Secretary of War. If any unusual discomforts or hardships are endured by the District boys on their Journey to Washington, evidently the blame will not attach to Col. Harries. a Arka: and Vermont. Those people who fancied that the re- turns from Arkansas and Vermont would afford some basis for calculating as to the general result in November find them- selves disappointed. The democrats have carried their own and the republicans their own. The Dutch gre still in possession of Holland. The vote was light. The people seem not to have been stirred to ary un- usual extent by the appeals that were made to them. A mid-summer campaign, however, is hardly to be expected to create tumultuozs enthusiasm. The contest for national control this year is rot in the south or east, but in the west and in the northwest, where, as yet, the situation is nebulous. The south, as usual, will go democratic; not on the money issue particularly, cr on any issue connected with or growirg out of the war, but on its old, reliable standby—the race issue. The bare labeiing of the tickets will be suff- cient to carry the democratic tickets through. The repubiicans will carry their eastern strongholds on the money issue. Maine will follow Vermont in sending a publican delegation to Congress. he northwest there is S of some shrewd and and from this time on times in those quar- Forecasting the result there is next to impossible e silver forces have effected a few f but overtures to that end in other cases, ard a bad humor envel- be dissipated as Or it moy money men and this ought to to make the administration nstble for the climate of Cuba and for ex of fever in soldiers’ camps at heme is not promising.

It swept over the south and west. Judge Thurman of Ohio and Mr. Hendricks of Indiana were subscribers to it, and had hopes of reaching the White House on the strength of it. The friends of Mr. Tilden had to combat it at St. Louis in 1876. and but barely prevented the democratié na- tional campaign of that year from being pitched in the key of greenbackism. Gen. Hancock's weakness as the party's candi- @ate for the presidency four years later was in some degree due to the shock the country received by a greenback triumph, partly the work of democrats, achieved in Maine in September. Between that state election and the national election in No- vember the people took alarm, and Gen. Garfield on a sound money platform was elected. After that the greenback craze declined. The democratic leaders saw the futility of trying to carry the country with such a platform. The divisions were such that New York was a pivotal state, and in order to make sertous play for its electoral vote ® platform must be written which would measurably conform to New York's con- victions on the financial question. Fiat money was, of course, no longer to be thought of, but a deliverance was necessary which would help the party in the pivotal states of New York and Indiana. The south, it was calculated, could be held in line on the race issue. Thus began the introduction of those neatly turned references to “the gold and silver of the Constitution” into the demo- cratic national platforms, until in 1896, after several fruitless efforts to bring their eastern brethren up to their demands for unlimited silver money, the democrats of the south and west took matters into their own hands and wrote a platform to suit themselves. Free coinage of silver at 16 te.1 as an independent act by the gov2rn- ment succeeded the demand for an irre- deemable paper currency. The populists charge the democrats with stealing their thunder. The boot is on the, fother leg. The democrats were greenback- ers before the populist party was born, and they made more racket with the green- back bolts than the populistic Olympian Jove of this day may hope to do. ————— The President and the Regiment. President McKinley's graceful action to- day in ordering that all relatives of the members of the returning District regiment be excused from departmental duty next Friday, and his ready assent to review the District volunteers, are in line with other evidences of his interest in that organiza- tion since it was formed in May. The Star early expressed the hope that something might perhaps be done in the line of holi- day-making, in order to add to the com- pleteness of the welcome to the returning troops, and now the President has set so shining an example it is probable that the merchants and other employers of the Dis- trict will take similar action, and grant everybody with a personal interest In the regiment an opportunity to participate in the reception. The President has ev reason to be proud of this body of soldiers, and interested in its career. It fs, even iore truly than the Ohio regiment so des- ignated, “The President's Own.” As Chief Executives come and go, their home cities naturally furnish military equipments which stand in a measure for the person- ality of the head of the republic, but the District of Columbia is everlastingly repre- sentative of the President. He is the ex- officio chief of the local government. He is the capital’s meyor. So when war comes snd Washington is summoned to assemb!e a body of her young men to go forth to camp or to the front it is natural that the Chief Executive should think always of that regiment as being in a large sense his own representation in the campaign. Pres- ident McKinley’s own participation in war- fare, his patriotic sacrifices for country, his personal Kindliness, all contribute ‘to permit him to appreciate the value of the District boys’ services in this struggle, and there will assuredly be no warmer greet- irgs nor more sincere pride in the Wash- ington volunteers day after tomorrow than on the part of the President of the United States as he reviews the troops at the White House. —++<2____ The Cretan Troubles Again. The disorders in Crete are not likely to develop to a dangerous degree, for It is not to be expected that the allied powers main- taining a strong naval force off the island will permit the riots to get beyond control. It is thus to be anticipated that order will shortly be re-established, but it cannot be sufficiently permanent to be reassuring. The troubles spring from the radical differ- ence in the religious views of the two main elements of the population. The Mussulmans are irritated to find that they have not reaped the benefits of the victory of Tur- key over Greece in the late war, which grew primarily out of the Cretan troubles. According to the doctrines of this semi- barbaric sect, the victor should enjoy the spoils to the last degree, and here they have been kept out of the cities for many months after the Greek armies were driven back by the conquering Turk. The un- quenchable hatred of the true Turk for the Christian lies, of course, at the bottom of the trouble, and until Crete is strongly gov- erned by a power determined to permit no outrages on the score of religion and ac- countable only to itself and not to a joint commission or other anomalous body, these ructions are to be expected to occur with undiminishing frequency and violence. There is nothing in the present situation, as far as the facts are known on this side of the water, to lead to the belief that the peace of Europe will now be disturbed from this cause. Yet is clear that the joint management of Crete by the powers is like- ly to become a constant source of danger. > The Hawaiians are . modest people.

Slender Support. “I’m willing to stand on my merits,” ex- claimed Willis Wishington. Miss Cayenie looked at him thoughtful- ly and then exclaimed: “Mr. Wishington, have you ever had any experience as a tight-rope walker?” Delusion. Oh, visitant strange with the whispering song, Who by night shook the casement so lightly and long, To startle poor man in the midst of his Toast, Were you truly a cold wave or only its ghost? The Unattainable. She looked at him with soulful, pensive eyes. “In what,” she asked, “do you think true earthly happiness, if it existed, would con- sist?” He gave the question serious considera- before he answered. “In having weather that would enable one to wear an overcoat in summer and a crash suit in winter.” t A Varintion. “You didn’t fasten your essay with blue ribbon, as you usually do,” said the cditor of the magazine, “No,” answered the contributor. “My sense of harmcny wouldn't permit it. This is an article on the management of the war. I tied it with red tape.” Best. There's no use disputing. refrain Comes echoing sweetest again and again. And it’s tenderest when, with the hard- ships gone by, Its cadence brings smiling The dear old instead of a sigh; When it breathes of a welcome of roses and cheer, Irstead of the parting which wakens a tear; When it greets the glad pilgrims from over the foam, The simple, and threadbare old tune “Home, Sweet Home” The toll of the masters no man may dis- dain. Yet they gave us no gentler or s2emlier strain— It has quickened men’s hopes as the slow hours went by, It has gladdened their souls when reunion was nigh. Let “The Conquering Hero” reverberate clear, Let “Hail to the Chief” boldly sound far and near; But for laddies returning and laddies who roam, The standby forever is just “Home, Sweet Home.” ——++2—_____ A Shining Example. From the Anay and Navy Journal. And what is disarmament? The United States is the only great nation in the world that has deliberately, and for Gecade after decade, obeyed this philanthropic principle end kept its army down not only to, but far below the strength needed for ordinary police duty. With the same population and territorial area Germany, Russia, Austria, France and Italy would each have an army of at least 200,000 men. Still this is an important and fruitful sub- ject, and we suggest to President McKinley that he presently cause the Hon. John Hay, Secretary of State, to distribute to the powers a note intimating that the true of disarmament is to make the peace- United States the standard of military provision. If we mairtain an army of 100,000 men for 75,000,000 people the other nations are not to exceed that proportion. This would give France about Germany 50,000 and Russia 17: Would be disarmament, but it will not be possible until the nations accept with sin- cerity the lofty principles whicn have goy- erned the western republic. ———> = —_____ Patriotism Will Now Show. From the Philadelphia Press. A correspondent complains that his son, just mustered out of the volunteer army, is refused reinstatement in his former posi- although before enlisting he was given positive assurance by his employer that his place would be open for him on his return. if such a promise was given and now is repudiated it is a gross piece of bad faith on the part of such employer. There will soon be a large number of men mustered out seeking the means of making a living again in civil life. Patriotism is the duty of employers as well as employed, and aldo for a change. +e 2 Mr. Sherman's absence from the cabinet will not prevent him from adding some to his stock of reminiscences. ———__+ + = —___ There is little or no disposition to boom Senator Chandler as a good man to serve on a peace commission. ——__ + +e —___ It is probable that the czar's peace sug- gestion will be quietly pigeonholed. ——_ + «= —____ Hot Weather Here and Elsewhere. More than two. hundred deaths are said to have occurred during the past few days in New York, attributable directly to the intense heat. Washington has been vis- ited by equally high temperatures, and in- deed the records have gone even higher than in New York, and yet there has beea but one death which could in any way, so far as known, be traced to the excessive heat. Of course, the proportion of deaths to population is enormously to the disad- vantage of New York, and it is interesting to note the reasons suggested by surface conditions for this disparity. It would seem, perhaps, to some that the greater ex- panse of asphalt here weuld tend to make where it is possible those who left places at the call of the country should have their places returned to them now that the war is over. This is not always practicable, but employers ought to be willing to stretch a point to make it practicable Whenever it can be done. ———__+ ++ —_____ The Navy is Popular. From the Savannah News. There is to be no reduction in the en- listed force of the navy. The number of men on the naval rolls now is greater than has been the case in many years, just turning the 20,000 point, and it is the pur- pose of the department ‘to keep the service recruited up to the full limit. No difficulty in doing this is looked for, since many men in the naval militia have expressel a de- termination to join the regular navy as soon as they recelve dischurges from the gvxillary branch of the service. As an illustration of the popularity of the navy, it is stated that there have been fewer de- sertions from the ships since they returned from Cuba than has been known during corresponding periods of time in many years. ————_+-+»—____ American Hollanders. From the Kansas City Star. Among the dispatches sent to Queen Wil- heimina on the attainment of her majority was one reading: “Congratulations upon the inhabitants of this city more suscepti- ble to the heat than those of the greater community. But the latter has not the ad- vantage of the frequent park spaces, the wider streets, the more numerous trees, the long stretches of turf and, tn general, the comparative sparsity of population. These differences tell terribly when the thermometer rises to the dangerous range between ninety and one hundred. Some of the residence sections of New York, the tenement districts, are more densely popu- lated than any other areas in the world. One certain block in that city holds the record in this regard. The people Hve in layers, literally. Their foul suroundings, the lack of ventilation, the infrequency of relief by cooling breezes, the inability to spread out over the space necessary for the preservation of health all tell upon the constitutions of these victims of poverty. The heat merely adds the finishing stroke. It is no marvel that it finds scores of vic- tims in these packed areas and upon the streets, where the workers, walled in by great piles of brick and stone, unrelieved by the refreshing shade of trees or the helpful presence of turf, succumb to the Killing temperatures. Washington hes its your birthday from 100,000 Hollanders re- siding in Michigan.” This is a queer sort of compliment. It is saying, in effect: “We Jove our native land and desire for its sov- ereign many happy years; but 100,000 of us prefer to live in Michigan. Sentiment dic- tates good wishes for Holland and its queen, but business fi tively demands continued residence an citizenship in the United States. Hail and farewell.” The Army Mule. From the Louisville Courier Journal. While we are carrying on about the he- rces of the war, let us not forget the army mule. He may not be as kissable as Hoh- son, but we owe him just as much sni- tion. Gen. Shafter says he could not have supplied his army at all if it had not been for the mule, and Gen. Blanco knew what he was about when he rushed to the cable office and telegraphed to Madrid how the ‘Americans had killed that mule at Matan- zas. A Demonstration. From the Boston Journal. Our volunteers krow now perfectly that the art of war is not to be learnod in ‘eek’s summc: encampment. There wi be no greater admirers of the regulars than they when they return, or no more stren- uous advocates of an enlightened policy which shall give this nation an adequate trained military establishment, “If they’re Rich’s shoes thelr proper.” Tert-two F.

Fully Ripe Fruits, which go to pulp, change color and lose flavor, are preserved perfectly by use of boiling water and sugar or water alone, and the original aroma and delicious flavor are retained also.
