Sp: The de in the evacuation of Cuba is daily increasing the difficuities of the United States. While the Spaniards remain condi- ne! rily go from bad to wot They were bad enough at the time of the suspension of hos es. They are very much worse now. The sounding of the doom of Spain operated on every Spanisa ivel in civil office or in shoulder straps t call to loot, and they have been in- dustriously improving their opportunity. The soldiers in the ranks meanwhile are not only idle and empty of pocket. They not only have no chance to share in the see asa plunder ng on, b they are unable even to ge ngle peseta of the months of due em. There is presented, pecially in Havana, tne cle of a large armed force with noth- ing to do quartered on people who are anx- ious to see them depart, and on whom those in command are preying to the utmost of their abi $ and spre: re. sentment among the victims and increases their wonder at the apparent American true, of course, that the sk of de- porting large a force of soidiers is an mous one.

Street Railway Consolidat The announcement in yesterday's Star that the owners of the City and Suburban Rallway had secured control of the Ana- costia line rehase of bonds was wel- come who bh re city’s entire system of street railways brought up to a modern basis. This consolidation, when it finds ex- ground e of the lir ly al some years have plagued the progre residents of the capital. line has long been a nuisance and an ey sore, a hindrance to traffic, affording minimum of accommodation to the ing public and handicapping the which it connects with the city. inv ed, will remoy, tics pra Rec Uon overhead and underground discussed as to its practicability and safety. Under these circumstances the Anacostia line has fallen into financiai straits, and is now In the hands of a re- this line, if em and placed with the latter upon a satisfactory ceiver. It is obvious that joined to a comprehensive city s this occurred to the kaiser to add to his other s of Washington sion In the equipment with the under- ic system of the city portions 1 of the relics of antiquity which for sive The Anacostia travel- suburb mutly it has been locally rivalled by a combina- trolley road, the underground feature being much rapid transit basis, will prove a paying property. Incidentally, it will afford to the people living within its sphere of useful- ness a degree of convenience which has never before been known. ‘The capitalists interessma in this opera- tion now have control of the Eckington, Belt, Washington and Maryland, and Ten- leytown lines. None of these roads, it is believed, has recently paid dividends, or even met operating expenses. Their pur- se by a corporation determined to equip them with modern rapid transit facilities and their consolidation into a broad system is a step in the right direction. They cover a large part of the city’s area, and united have more trackage than any other single system. The Tenleytown is not now connected with the other parts of this pre- posed consolidation and may not be so connected for some time, but it forms a possible outlet for the combined roads into the extreme western portion of the District and well illustrates the value of bringing under a comprehensive management and into union with the trunk lines of the cit the small, weak suburban roads which have heretofore had but a struggling, pre- carious existence. The equipment of the old Eckington road, now the principal section of the City and Suburban system, has been virtually start- ed and every present indication is that this road will be placed on a rapid transit bi within the time specified by Congress. It is not to be expected that the Belt or the Anacostia will be so quickly equipped, for each of these lines is yet entangled in legal difficuities which must first be straight- ened. The people of this city will be pa- tient with the owners as long as they show evidences of good faith in proceeding with their work and carrying out their promises. When this consolidation shall have been effected and all the equipment work fin- ished Washington will be in possession of a street railway system second to none in the world. It has long been closely ob- served by street railway managers, capi- talists and citizens generally in all parts of this country because of the development here of the underground system and the persistent and successful fight against the overhead trolley, and when at last the en- tire city shall be served with high-class electric cars fed from a conduit, without a cable or a horse car in evidence, the and substantial fruits of the long war waged by The Star and the citizens of the capital will doubUess be widely appre- ciated. ———_+ +e -____ Mr. Choate’s Figurative Allusion. At a meeting in New York last called in the interests of the figkt tor a pure judiciar of the bar snc Mr. Joseph Choate, a ieader one of the foremost ligures in the crusade against Tammany’s control of the courts, compared Richard Croker with Baiaan’s ass, which spoke under a certain provocation. Mr. Choate proceeded to i that one of the surest signs of Croker’s fear as to the oncoming retribu- tion ef the people is his readiness of late talk freely and vituperatively on the issues of the campaign, and particularly that af- fectirg the judiciary. Mr. Choate is questionably right in his estimate of the man. Heretctore Richard Croker has been e for his silence under the most ‘cumstan Without the ability > of Kis predeces: in control of ny Hall, he has achieved marked »y his capacity for keeping still. known to th n public who have won great ‘s in campaigns with- out once uttering a public comment. Tact- turnity and sagacity are clesel sociated ip the public mind, whether justly or not is immaterial. Mr. Croker disciesed this wonderful power of silence under fire dur- ing the Lexcw 1 stigation, when it b came nt for him to remove for th time t d, there to bu an expensive acquain ith th urf and incidentaliy to keep beyond tke reach of subpoena: But when the storm passed and conditio: once more fvvored a Tammany raid on the offices and perquisites of the metropolis Mr. Croker returned, but he kept h outh shut. His silence during the campaign of 1 Was in line with his reputation fc an ability to work hard under the surface. But this year he seems to have forgotten or else cast contemptuously aside his prin- ciple of silence. The ault of the Bar Association ange n to talk, recklessiy emed to most peo- ple, and assuredly without much discrim- inution. He is dealing with some of New York's shrewdest law and busin men and it is ke playing with fire to op a debate with them. Mr. Choate’ last ca. night at Chickering Hall re ber of the enemy.

Some degree of pointed official attention is apparently required to bring the street railway companies of this city to a realiz- ing s of duty toward their patrons in the matter of running open cars when thermometer is dropping. This is not a warm day. Some tf find it sharp and © surprised in consequence to see “‘summer cars” in regular service on the Georgetown und 14th street branch- es. of the Capital Traction line, perhaps on other roads in the efty. They naturally wonder. Of course uo cne is compelled to in one of these skeleton structures while the wind is blowing half a gale and the temperature is low, but their use me: that the number of closed cars is practi- cally reduced one-half and this puts a pre- mium on comfortable seating facilities and in many cz forces into the open cars people who would weicome a chance to sit down in the warmer vehicles. There is d certain temptatiSn, too, to face the breeze, but it brings its sericus dangers. The char- ters of the railroads stipulate as a rule th the companies shall equip their tines with first class cars, with ail modern tmproy. ments for th comfort passengers.” An open {s assu designed for the “comfort” of yy when the temperature is at 49 and the wind is high, as was the case in this city at 8 o'clock this morning. —— An ing item of news from the French capital is that the streets are full of noisy people. There could be no more ominous and abnormal symptom than a dead calm throngh the Parisian populace. oe The Spanish will never cease regretting that their soldiers did not hold their posi- tions with the same tenacity as that with which Sagasta holds office. a If Sugasta had been any sort of a bust- ness man he would long since have bal- anced the books, had a receiver appointed and started afre: d com encourag +e e Governor Black is reflecting that some statesmen have started on the towpath and that others are liable to end there. Se The Withdrawal of Marchand. It seems assured that France will with- draw Major Marchand, leaving open to future negotiation the question of recom- pense from England for this concession. ‘The cables agree in forecasting and even positively stating this program, and it is asserted further that the French govera- ment has found an easy way out of the difficulty withcut soiling the “honor” of the nation. [t appears that M. Hanota.x, while minister for foreign sffairs, neglected to notify the English government of che departure of Major Marchand on his exp- dition across the Sudan from Congo. There- fore the present ministry holds that Eng- snd is justified in her protest against Marchand’s continued presence at Fashoda, Incidentally it is put forth, doubtless as a palliative to the French susceptibilities, that Marchand fs in sore need of supplics and that his withdrawal is necessary for his own sake. It is reassuring to learn that the affair is so near a settlement, for a war between England and France would be a most disastrous break in the peace of Eurone. It remains to be seen what recompenses Englard wil! be willing to make to France for this surrender. The suspicion is strong that there will be none such, that the matter will be permitted to drag along in diplomacy until everybody has forgotten about Marchand and Fa- shoda and greater affairs are in evidence. If England's contention is correct, that Marchand is an interloper within the Brit- ish sphere of influence in the Nile country, his withdrawal is not an act of grace, but an act of justice. Instructions have been given to the New York police to “look out for the highway- men who drive about the city in cabs.” This sounds like a sweeping denunciation of hack drivers. ——__ + + = —____ The ambition to own a judge must ap- peal to the New York mind as something far more spectacular and interesting than the ambition to own a racing stable. ——— Paris hopes to have even greater diffi- culty in finding hotel space for the Ameri- can visitors at the fair in 1900 than in pro- viding facilities for exhibitors. ——_ += The people who dined around Mr. Astor's big tree will observe that this country can furnish Europe with the table as well as with the things to put on it. : > Richard Croker seems to be unmindful of the fact that his successes in the past were never won by his abilities to speak or write pieces, see ‘The czar continues to serve notice that he will not be responsible for the actions of any of his friends who insist on going to war. a On looking the Fashoda situation over France will probably conclude not to in- dorse suicide as a national policy.

From the Baltimore American, The hav people of the city of Washington made up their minds that they w: tennial celebration of their own. propose to hold two years hence—in 1w—which will be just a century since the city became the actual capital of the nation. Preliminary meetings have already been held with this end in view, and, al- though the plans for the centennial have not taken definite shape, yet public interest has been aroused, and the people are grow- ing enthusiastic over the idea. Such an anniversary should not be al- lowed to pass unnoticed. There is certainly far more on for its appropriate celebra- tion than could be found for some of the centennials that have been held in various parts of the country. As the nation’s capi- tal fer the past century, Washington has been the scene of many of the leading events in the nation’s history. Congress, which rules over the people of Washington when it finds time to do so, should look with favor on the idea and help it along in a practical sort of way. The centennial could be made not only a great occasion in the history cf the national capital, but in the history of the nation itself. : ———__ += —___ % The Logical Conclusion, From the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle.
