THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circalation much more than the combined cir- enlation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addreased to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpove. Spain in the Campaign. Spain has undoubtedly entered the cam- paign against an iidorsement of the ad- ministration next month. Every reliable Yeport that comes from Paris shows that the Spanish policy of “manana” has refer- sly to the congressional elections United States. The Spanish peace commissioners have In some way become Impressed with the ‘dea that a majority ndverse to the President will mean a re- Vision of the whole American program in Spain's favor. Hence their parleyings their requests for delays, their reference of every point to Madrid to help along delays. and all that. They are looking lorward as anxiously to the Sth of Novem- f as is any American citizen. There are no details. But can it be that the Spaniards are building upon a hope of & return of Porto Rico, Guam and Manila to Spain? Is it their belief that republican Befeat next month, if accomplished, will mean an abandonment by the United States pf the whole policy of expansion? Do they see the United States forced back by public sentiment to the original proposition about Cuba? Do they estimate that by good management they may restrict tne American triumph to the freedom of Cuba gione, and qualify even that with terms advantageous to Spain about the so-called Cuban debt? ‘This would be extremely fanciful and im- probable, except that Spain leans naturally to the fanciful. She has so far read nota- ing aright respecting the United States and its contentions. And then it must be ad- mitted that there are American politicians and newspapers ccntributing semewhat to the forming of such an opinion. The gab- ble about Caesarism; the posting of our soldiers as nostalgic degenerates whining for mother and a feather bed; the saturna- lia of lying about the incompetency of our military leaders, all encourage a belief that the country regrets the war and would be glad of an opportunity to retrace its steps and get back again to the former conditions. But how misleading all that is! Who in the United States could, with opportunity, restore the old conditions? Porto Rico ts ours. Hawall is ours. The flag is flying fafely, though without protection, at Guam. Admiral Dewey is master at Manila. Who with the responsibility of office to guide him would undertake to undo all this, and order the ships and the soldiers back home? The man does not live. The mouth- ings of a few cowardly scholars, and the cheap tirades of a few rhetorical stumpers, are of no moment whatever in determining the real characte id purpose of the American people. If the Spaniards want a case in point to consider let them study the result of the infamous maneuver of Grover Cleveland with respect to Hawaii. No American blood had been shed that No in martial glory had been achieved in the ex- case. tending of the American influence over those islands. But the American purpose had been declared, and not even a chief magistrate, full of se!f-assertion, could for longer than his own term thwart the peopl= in their desires. Hawaii is ours, and those islands which have been secured by Amer- jean prowess and sac » are, and will remain, ours also. +e —_. ommendations. n his report print- need of a m: rict’s water sup- m, and demonstrates that an conduit ‘will ave to be bi n the dam at is and the dis- tributing reservoir. I to be hoped that this work will be norized by Congre: in to prevent any apprehe au sien of an inadequate water supply. The elay in completing has set the water system back several years, and when Wt is placed in « i the drain on the conduit from the falls will be heavier than ever. This work, suggested by General Wil- son, should be undertaken at an early day, even though calculations may show an ample margin of safety for the present The city will assuredly continue in its growth, and, in even a greater proportion, jt will demand a pure water supply which ‘must be afforded if the community is to be kept upon its present plane of healthful- ness. ‘The need of additional bridges about the city is well set forth in this report. At present the bridge equipment fs inadequate and disgracefully out of keeping in archi- tectural beauty with the character of the city and its surroundings. At least three ew bridges are nee . in addition to the present outfit, and, of course, another Phould be added to replace the abomination now panning the Potomac known as the Long bridge. When these improvement: which are sow tn contemplation by Con- gress, are provided the city will begin to realize the ideal of water front conditions. General Wilson understands the needs of Washington as well as any chief of engi- neers of the army who er wrote a re- port, and he speaks frem personal ac- quaintance and association with most of the work under his charge. His recom- Pendations should obtain from the congres- gjonal committees a high degree of con- sideration. ——— The Kaiser's pilgrimage may be marred by suspicions that some European power will take a mean military advantage of im while his back is turned and he is a ‘Jong way from home and army. SS Philadelphia's peace jubilee was, of course, not designed to apply to local polit- feal cond ns. ——+«2 Prodding Leaders. ‘There is constantly illustration of the fact that the English speaking people everywhere have very much the same char- fioteristics. A wide ocean may divide them, But it exerts no influence on this fact. Whether found in one latitude or another, ynder one form of government or another, they have all the intellectual features of the common stock. Sentiment in England has but recently been strongly aroused against Lord Salis- Qury in connection with the Fashoda affair. he assertion was made that he was giving England's whole case away by temporizing end inertia. Then other matters were re- called to add to the indictment. He had been too lenfent with the Turk about Crete. He had permitted Russia to go too far un- challenged in China. And now France was to have her way in the Nile country. Was {here no fight in the man at all? Was England under his leadership to be forever , gtying way before the other powers? All of the facts now are out, and they \Whow that Lord Salisbury has been neither “Qmert nor indifferent about Fashoda. He ‘bas kept his eye on the main chance all | @long. He has not taken, nor does he con- template taking, a single step backward | lapd’s case is in first-rate shape, and , Qo Will press it for all that it may be worth. The result is a complete reversal of the public judgment. Lord Salisbury 1s eulo- sized on every hand, and he has his coun- try solidly at his back. This matches perfectly the experience of President McKinley in the affair with Spain. His courage was impeached. Shilly-shally- ing, nerveless diplomacy, downright dodg- irg, were laid at his door. The name of the United States, It was asserted, would become a byword among the nations of the earth for irresolution and positive timidity. Any third-rate power would shortly be en- couraged to shake its fist In our face. When the storm broke there followed a complete reversal of this judgment. It was seen then that the President had most wise- ly employed every hour of the delay. He had carried matters steadily forward, until when the day for action arrived it found him prepared to act. Then the country ranged itself solidly at his back, and Spain was smashed in short order. Where he had been criticised before he was now eulo- gized and upheld. The President and Lord Salisbury would be justified in exchanging, confidentially, congratulations by cable. —___ + e = ____ Faction Fighting in France. France has had another convulsion. Few nations could withstand the terrific strain to which the French people have been sub- jected during the past three or four years as a result of the Dreyfus agitation. But France has had a severe training. Her history is a succession of these crises, and yesterday's disorders on the occasion of the opening of the national legislature are in no wise surprising to any person who has studied the progression of events in the so-called republic. The scenes in the chamber of deputies were scandalous. The resignation of the minister of war led di- rectiy to the dissolution of the Brisson min- istry. It has been apparent for some time that this cabinet could not endure the strain of ternal dissensions and public criticism growing out of the Dreyfus af- fair, and so the result of yesterday's crisis was in accordance with general expecta- tion. Yet this leaves France in a most embar- rassing plight. The ministry had at least accomplished the one result of bringing to light the forgery in the Dreyfus testimony, necessitating revision. This decision caused much ill-feeling among the cabinet minis- ters, yet the fact of revision was accom- plished in that the case was handed over to @ competent judicial body. By virtue of yesterday’s proceedings in the chamber of deputies the nation practically repudiated this action, and thus the Dreyfus scandal assumes a fresh complicat.on which may seriously embarrass the court of revision in its undertaking. Most remarkable of all is the disclosure caused by yesterday's disorders and inci- dents that France cares nothing whatever for the Fashoda affair, as compared with the Dreyfus matter. The dispute with England over the Nile rights is forgotten in this intense domestic strife. Ordinarily so threatening a chance of war with a for- eign power over a question closely involv- ing considerations of the national honor and aspirations would operate to heal all internal breaches for the time. The Star advanced the opinion recently that it was doubtful whether the taik of war with England about Fashoda, then be- coming pointed, would silence the Dreyfus quarrel in France, while an equal degree of nearness to a war with Germany would in all probability place practically all Frenchmen shoulder to suoulder in the fight for the lost provinces. Yesterday's affair in Paris indicates the accuracy of this suggestion. ——__ + + —___ Municipal Improvement. The American Society of Municipal Im- provements, meeting here today for the fifth annual corvention, is a wholesome influence in the city life of the nation. To- day’s se:sion revealed the scope of the work through the addresses of welcome and response. The people of Washington are especially interested in such endeavy- ors, for their hope has always been for a model city, permitted by the original plans for the capital and by the latter-day ef- fcerts at exp: n and betterment. Com- missioner Wight clearly set forth the pur- poses of the public-spirited residents of the capital to premote in every way the w fare of the nation’s city. This association of the friends of mu- ricipal advancement has deveioped out of uw recent realization by many Americans that the city’s affairs, to be properly man- aged, mtst be taken es far as porsible out of the field of politics and piaced upon a plane of business-like admiristration. When this shall have been accomplished, largely through the efforts of this and similar so- and the werk of individual citi- stuated by the same high ideals, a better atmosphere will surround the Amer- ican citizen and mtonicipal life will be filled with far more blessings than eyer be- fore. This attainment is to be achieved by earnest co-operation, and nowhere will the society now meeting here find more en- couragement or more practical suggestions than in Washington. ———__ +++ ___ There is a disposition to let Richard Croker enjoy a menifesto monopoly, rather than give him an oppcrtunity to think that he has succeeded in getting up an argu- ment. + +2 France has been for a long time experi- menting with political crises and it looks as if she had at last struck an explosive combination that will do real damage. —— + +0] Notwithstanding Spain's alleged contempt for a “nation of shopkeepers,” it insists on hanging over the bargain counter and ask- ing foolish questions. 2 oe Richard Croker may discover that an ex- citing politic campaign is not the best time in which to rush into the literary mar- ket with reminiscence: —— +02 It can scarcely be possible that Eugene Debs has concluded to sit quietly down and let the country go to destruction without saying another woad. ———- + «= —___ After dealings with Spain which eatended through so many years, the Cubans are not to be blamed for betrg more or less sus- picious of everybody. see France's contempt for the Fashoda af- fair may be inspired by the presence of so much more :erious trouble nearer home. —_—_—-_ +e The Porto Ricans in this country deserve credit for their modesty in merely desiring 416 vote instead of trying to hold office. —___ ++ ___.. France may need a peace commission of its own before long. ——_—__ +++ —___ Philadelphia’s Peace Jubilee. Philadelphia is having a rousing peace jubilee, scmewhat dampened by the pad weather, but not diverted from its high purpose to commemerate in a proper man- ner the recent achievements of the nation cn land and on the sea. The preparations for this affair have been on an elaborate scale of magnificence, and according to all accounts the old city presents now an ap- pearance of genuine jubilation over the glories of American victory. The presence there of representatives ef the administra- tion and of the naval and military forces lends to the occasion a national signifi- cance. Chicdgo has held her peace jubilee and now Philadelphia. Other cities will doubtless fall in line with their expressions of gratitude and praise. The City of Broth- erly Love iz a most appropriate scene for such festivities and demonstrations, in view of certain important historical events which form the foundation of the history of the American republic, closely associating that cemmunity with the nation’s begin- nings. The naval pageant which yesterday awakened the Philadelphians to a more acute realization than ever of the strength of the American fleet by no means shows forth the full strength of the nation afloat, yet it serves well as a symbol of what has already been accomplished toward placing the United States on the proper footing in the matter of naval strength. ——_~ ++ —____ In contrast to the riotous manner in which European legislative bodies have been con- ducting themselves, it is a pleasure to point to the dignified serenity which Congress at present maintains. ——_ ++ 2 —___. In connection with Mr. Carl Schurz’s dis- satisfaction it should be borne in mind that Mr. Schurz has made much of his reputa- tion by being hard to please. —_—__+ + + —___ SHOOTING STARS. The Proprieties. “How did you come to name that mule “‘Aguinaldo?’"’ inquired a soldier in the answered the teamster, gloom- ‘ily, “he’s such a kicker!’ A Malicious Satisfaction. There was a sneer of cynical glee on the face of the Spanish officer. “You seem amused,” remarked his friend. Yes; I have been reminded of those Americans." “They've taken away all our possessions we had away from home worth speaking of. That isn’t very humorous.” “No. But there's comfort in thinking of the trouble they are going to have pro- nouncing them.” His Position. “Have you any doubt of my good faith in this Uttle scheme which I propose?" in- quired Senator Sorghum. “No,” answered the young man. “You seem perfeotly confident and free from ap- prehension. I'm the man who is having difficulty in getting up a supply of faith that amounts to anything.” Precept and Example. That his intentions were the best, none venture to deny, But his oratory held him till he let a chance slip by; He so earnestly exhorted ’gainst the bosses and ‘gainst pelf That he lost his chance to register and couldn't vote himself. Real Enjoyment. “Don't you enjoy the gray days of Oc- toker?"” asked the postic girl; “the days when nature tempers the luxuriant joy with chargeful moods of sadness?” “I should say I do!” exclaimed the young man with a blue and red vest. ‘These gray days of October are what I'va been waiting for. I'm advertising a cough medicine that ought to make my fortune.” A Campaign Confusion. “Bee the Conquering Heto!” The bands are out again; Musicians now work overtime performing the refrain! “Se2 the Conquering Hero! crowds with echoing shout Make the babies cease thzir prattle, won- dering what it's all about. And the In conquering hero prospects this great country is so rich That there isn’t any telling, just at present, which is which; And as he hears the tune again, each can- didate with glee Bows low in his acknowledgment and mur murs, “that means me.” ——_+ +e ______ Will Double Western Property Values Frem Leslie's Weekly, The Nicaragua canal can be constructed for $100,000,000, and Senator Miller pre- dicts that on the first day when a steamer sails through it property on the Pacific coast will double in value, and that within half a century the Pacific will be as popu- lous as the Atlantic coast. In time of war with a foreign nation the value of the canal would be inestimable. The long jour- ney of the Oregon, for 13,000 miles around the Horn, would have been reduced by al- most two-thirds had the canal been con- structed. Retent changes in China indi- cate that that great empire will soon be opened to the march of civilization. Eng- land, Germany, France and Russia are waiting their opportunity to enter its marts of trade. We are nearer to these markets by thousands of miles than any other great people. Every far-seeing business man realizes the acuteness of the situation. President Hill of the Great Northern rail- road, a man of remarkable business capa- city and breadth of vision, in a recent ad- dress predicted that if the present changes in the orient bring about the results in China that have been brought about in Japan we will find a greater development of trade on the Pacific coast in the next twenty-five years than the world has ever seen in its history.

This is due to the strict enforcement of the regulations against for- eign meats which have practically caused a meat famine. As the reputed object of these regulations—many of which are par- ticularly aimed at the meats of the United States—is to protect the health of the peo- ple, {t would seem as If It had failed, as the recourse to horses and dogs is apt to prove anything but salutary. As American meats have been shown to be unjustly maligned, It would seem also that the im- perial regulations instead of protecting, ac- tually despoil the people. This 1s paternal- ism that 1s unkind. ———_ + + ____ We Should Fulfill the Trust. From the Brooklyn Bugle. We took Manila to weaken our enemy in the Cuban war. Our success there has apoused the hopes of the residents of the islands. They will not consent to a return of the Spanish administration. Independ- ence is not practical. If we should turn the islands over to other powers it would precipitate war, or at any rate lay the foundation for frequent and troublesome disturbances in the east that would seri- ously injure our commercial relations with China and Japan. We are today trustees of the Philippines. We are under moral obligations to fulfill the trust which events have forced upon us even if we derive no benefit from it. ——_ «+ —____ More Will Follow, From the Hartford Courant.
