THE EVENING STAR has a reguiar d@ permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington Jatlies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. cyIm order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR sho t 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 President's Response. The names of the men whom the Presi- dent has asked to sit as a commission and investigate the cenduct of the war are proof sufficient of a desire on his part that all the facts of interest and value to the country shall be collected and published. Both rti are drawn upon, and from each taken thoroughly representative members. There may be a few declina ticns, but not through a lack of sympathy With the object in view by those whose pressing private affairs make it impossible for them to serve. Their places will be filled by men of like caliber, and thus the work il be well performed. The President in this matter, as in other matters, has shown not only the proper regard for public opinion, but an earnest sincere man’s appreciation of the roper steps to be taken to meet an im- ion. He ts not playing politic: mies will of course charge upon him. He Fas not been frightened and bul- led into action, as the more blatant of his critics will claim as a triumph of their own. He simply sees that now, while the story is fresh and of greatest interest, and all the facts by competent management and stry may be gathered, is the time to * the machinery of investigation in mo- and he sets !t in motion promising all the power that may be necessary to make the work complete. What the country really desires, as the President well understands, is a full and impartial account not only of how the war was conducted, but of the methods of pro- cedure which the law made it necessary should be followed. The exposure of red tape is to be accompanied by an exposure of the author or authors of the red tape. The exposure of what resulted in this case or that from obedience to law and lawful regulations must carry with it all that re- lates to the law and the regulations; what efforts in times past have been made to provide a better system, and why and by om they were defeated. And from all s d be evolved and recommended such changes as will in future prevent a repeti- tion of such shortcomings as the country just now is deploring. But the Silvelas, the Polaviejas and the Weylers in the United States will not be tisted with this. Like their protetypes ain, their aim is wholly personal and selfish. Their country’s misfortunes move them only to activity in their own behalf. —___+ += —__. Garrison Daty in Cuba. American troops will oceupy Cuba as soon Spaniards move out. Precisely how will be sent cannot at this time te determined. Much will depend on the ac- ce by the people of the new condi- and the disappearance of the rancors ed by the war. Order is to be pre- eng served, and this will require garrisons for the principal citles in the island. One effect of the sensational clamor against the government in connection with the Santiago campaign has been to raise @ prejudice in the minds of some of the soldiers, regulars and volunteers alike, against this garrison duty. It is repre- sented as certain to embrace many of the perils and hardships that had to be met and endu front of Santiago. This seems to be wholly unwarranted. The men wav go to Cuba to do garrison duty not have to land under the protection avy guns, will not have to push their miles through the trying tangles cal undergrowth, nor be exposed halting to unpropitious elements for days and nights. Taey will go to well se- pd quarters, and be surrounded at once 2 such comforts as soldiers may prom- ise themsei in times of peace. Sull another point to be considered is that the Cuban cities will be under the control n officiais, and this will mean to health as well as to iaw and neral Wood at Santiago is at setting an example and obtaining s certain to be repeated in the other cities of the island as rapidly as they shall change their masters. He is having a very dirty place thoroughly cleaned up and made inviting for all who were driven off upon ef Amer! care order, as by the war. And the people are returning to their homes, and the death rate is rapidly diminishing. Business is looking up, and beth citizens and soldiers are satis- fied with the administration of affairs. 1 jer’s life has its hardships under able circumstances, and it is 45 a constancy, a man pre- in his own country among his own 4 But there is every reason to believe once these garrisons in Cuba are established and American control of Mairs is as: ted and accepted in the i mments to them as a change welcome even from the army posts mirably appointed and gov- States. oe Duty of the People. © of the sick, the relief of the the procuring of employment for idle soldiers of the First Regiment Dis- of Columbia Volunteer Infantry are amount dvties devolving upon the the national capital.

The tendency of -losing years of this century is toward a greater individual lib- erty, a broader humanity and higher and more enlightened civilization. Monarchies @re not “tottering to their fall” and gov- ernments going to Ss. but absolutism and tyranny in all forms are gradually dis- appearing by the natural evolution of se- ciety under the impulse of more nearly universal education. A nation cannot be strong while its people are oppressed. ‘herefore the ambition of nations reach- ing out for power is leading to the greater liberty of the people. But there is still the disturbing element. It is found in all communities and on-all cecasions, and should be counted on and not be permitted to interfere with the progress of things. It is found in the town ccuncil, in the church congregation, in po- litical meetings, and even in societies or- Kanized for charity or for the promotion of universal peace. In the progress of the world that which is detuded and. brutal rises to disturb the peace and to interrupt the orderly advance of civilization. Some- times it comes in the form of ambition, sometimes in the shape of anarchy. That it occasionally shocks the world with some great horror should not cause a feeling of despair of the attainment of ultimate good. This peace-loving nation takes up the cause of humanity and is plunged into war. The most nearly absolute of all civilized rulers proposes to the nations of the earth a step toward universal peace, and a long cherished passion for revenge cries out against it. ‘The spirit of liberality has manifested it- self among the ruling classes of Europe. It must have become evident to all close observers that there is a more democratic isposition developing and that the rulers of the civilized monarchies are gradually getting closer to the people. Many of the barriers between the people and the gov- ernments have been broken down, and the heads of the governments have been en- deavoring to mingle among the people with Breater freedom than was possible but a few years ago. The reason for this ts pain, end that ‘ts natural tendency is to strength- en the influence of the common people and { to insure a better and more liberal gov ernment in which the people have a great- er part is evident to one who thinks. Yet in the most promising period in the history of the human race, when tho people are be- ginning to force recognition of the fact that they are capable of self-government, the weapon of the insane assassin flashes across the path of progress. The incapa- ble, the fanatic, the greatest of all ene mues of human liberty, splashes human blood upon the garments of the citizen and in the name of liberty does an injury to the whole human race. The injury that such a creature does is not confined to his helpless victim, but is chiefly to the cause of human liberty and reform of govern- ment which he prates about. —-¢ = _____ What Will Switzerland Do? Tt will be interesting to see what Switzer- land will do with the murderer of ihe Em- press of Austria. There is no provision for capital punishment on the statute books of the little mountain republic, and yet no one would be at all surprised should the au- thorities attempt to find some way by which they could bring the cowardly assas- sin to the end he so justly deserves. Swit- zerland is surrounded by countries which give short shrift to such men and it is questionable whether Austria, for example, would enjoy the sight of this murderer spending the balance of his days well fed and in a comfortable ceil. Furthermore the Swiss are a thrifty people. They have been called a nation of hotel-keepers. It is @ part of their national creeed to make their country as attractive as possible to visitors, who spend miilions every year at the resorts among the mountains and about the lakes. Not least worthy of con- sideration among these money-spenders are the members of the royal families of Eu- Tope who have long looked upon Switzer- land as a favorite play-ground. Now if nihilists, and others with murder in their hearts, can do their bloody work in Swit- zerland with the certainty that their heads will not pay the penaity it stands to reason that Switzerland will become very popular with them and equally unpoguiar with the aristocrats of Europe. If the crowned heads do not go to Switzerland many Americans, too, wiil stay away and this is a prospect which the Swiss hotel-keepers wiil view with genuine alarm. +3 A Coloysal Seheme. According to reliable reports Wall street is soberly discussing the probable forma- tion of the most colossa! corporation yet created in this century of trusts. The wild- est dreams of Promoter Hooley never reached its stupendous proportions. The proposition which the most conservative capita! of Gotham are seriously talking about contemplates the solidification of all the vast interests of the Rockefellers, the Flagiers, the Rogerses and the other Stand- ard Oil magnates and kindred spirits into one great company. It is pointed out that the way to this is open trough the broad powers granted to the new iron and steel trust, the Federal Steel Company, recently chartered under the elastic laws of New Jersey, with a capital of $200,000,000. Under the list of privileges carried in the articles of incorporation there is no branch of trade or commerce into which this great trust may not enter. The Rockefeilers and the others mentioned above control the new trust absolutely. They have dominated the Minnesota Iron Company for years, and lately have controlled the Illinois Steel Company, and it is said to have been from a desire to solidify their interests that they unified the Minnesota Iron, the Illinois Steel, the Lorain Steel and the Johnstown Steel Companies under the expansive caar- ter of the Federal Steel Company. ‘The possibility of a further consolidation of the vast wealth and power of such men is in some aspects alarming as well as impres- sive. 3 —___ A Well Deserved Tribute. In another column will be found a trib- ute to the men of the regular army, from the pen of one of The Star's special corre- spondents who was at the front in Cuba and who saw much of them and of their heroic work before Santiago. That these few words of commendation are well de- served must be admitted by every one who has followed the history of the war. It is not detracting one whit from the credit due the volunteers to say that the bulk of the work naturally feil upon the shoulders of the men in the regular establishment. War has long since come to be a science and it is but reasonabie to expect that the men who are best educated for the work can do it best. ++ This country knows more about coloniza- tion than it is given credit for. Its exper- ience with King George Gave it some very valuable data on what to avoid in:such en- terprises. +e The financiers as a rule considerately re- frain from cornering food stuffs at a time when the soldiers are bringing extraordin- ary appetites back home. zs +0 Theodore Roosevelt is willing to give New York a chance to experiment for a change with a governor who will govern. seo The war reminiseence will crowd the campaign argument very closely in popular interest this fall. ——__~ «+ Spunish Interviews. Mahomet marched with the Koran in one hand and a sword in the other. The Amer- ican soldier went through the Cuban cam- paign with his gun on his shoulder and a teeth brush stuck in his hat. This latter fact seems to have attracied particular at- tention from the Spaniards. Spanish soldiers returning to the penin- sula from Cuba have been frequentiy inter- viewed by enterprising reporters for the Spanish papers. Their opinions are of real interest just now, as showing what the men of one army thought of the men of the other. ‘om Spanish papers received in this country it would appear that the tooth brush was regarded as a curious item in 2 coldier’s kit. Russian soldiers, it is said, always pay particular attention to their toilet betore geing into battle, for the reason that personal cleanliness is thought to have a great deal to do with their chances of getting to heaven. It was no stich reason as this which led the American warriors to hang on to their tooth brushes, regarding them as necessities and not lux- uries. It Is merely an Anglo- Saxon char- acteristic, this wish to be clean, and is but one of many marked differences between our men and our late enemies. “The Americans are of three colors, black, brown and white; they are all very large men, and in marching they go whistling or singing,” said another repatriated Span- jard. All of which Is quite true. And of the three colors it is a question which the undersized and underfed Spaniard would prefer to meet if he had it to do over again. “Among the battalions there {s much riv- alry, the men advancing with chests bare, striving which shall plant the colors farth- est forward.” Which is truest of all. Our friends, the enemy, struck the keynote of the whcle business right there. The mem- bers of the Spanish cabinet and of the ecrtes, who stayed at home, have other ex- planations to offer for the way things turn- ed out, but we rather think that these pri- vates “who went up against a hard propo- sition” In Cuba have furnished the best so- lution ‘of ail. ———_>->—__ New Worlds to Conquer. While the public and press are agitating themselves over the question of the future of our newly acquired possessions and Cu- ba the plumbers of the United States are chortiing in their glee over the prospect of new worlds to conquer. With an cye to the future they are already “laying their pipes” to secure large and remunerative contract The task of supplying cities in the West Indies with proper sanitation will be a herculean one aud everybody knows that plumbers’ contracts are remunerative. A leading trade journal says that when peace comes Cuba and Porto Rico ought to be a veritavie Kiondike to plumbers and senitary engineers. ‘hey care not who make tfese countries’ laws; let them do the plumbing.

The smail boy was looking very morose. “What's the matter?” inquired his com- panion. “Well, to tell the plain truth, I guess I'm jealous. It’s just my luck. I'm not oid enough to go to war nor young enough to be the baby, and so far as any chance of being the pride and pet of the household is coucerned, I'm ciear out of it.” Analytic. “My young friend,” said Mr. Stormington.

I admit that I had some vanity on that point.” “Never yield to it again. 1t would have been more diplomatic ta make me think you were so good that everybody Zelse was jealous.” ight Growing Sensitive. “It may not be an intentional breach of Professional courtesy,” said Senator Sor- ghum, thoughtfully, “but I have my doubts. “What paper are you reading?” inquired his wife. “The rival sheet in my town where I am maintaining a publication to further my In- terests, both political and pecuniary, as occasion May suggest.

Luccesi, the dastard who stabbed the Empress of Austria to death, cannot suffer the death penalty because the law of the Swiss cantcn in which he committed the crime does not recognize capital punish- ment. The world is, therefore, robbed of the right of seeing this villain strung up on the gallows. The feeling in Europe about this murder is no more intense than here. If there is such a thing as a concerted “movement” among the men known as anarchists they must seek no refuge or asylum on this side of the Atlantic. They are utterly abhorrent to every Americen idea. We consider them vermin, to be stamped out of existence the moment they show. e ————_—_ = —___ Answered Promptly, From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
