ke _ THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY.... «November 8, 1898. CROSBY 8. NOYES. a a THE EVENING STAR has @ regular and permanent Family Circulation ch more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies: As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7Im 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 er purpove. At the Po! All the early reports of the balloting in the various states indicate generally fair weather in the districts where the ele- ments have a tendency to Interfere with the voting. In northern New York the re- publican chances of large majorities have been held for some days to depend upon the state of the weather. Rains and heavy roads would keep the farmers away from the polls and so benefit the democracy. To- day's dispatches thus far show that the skies are clear in this region and that the vote is being cast early. It is gratifying to learn from various points that the voting began briskly, und that everything indicated a Teasonably full poll of the people. One of the chief fears of the managers of the campaigns has been that the people would be apathetic in the supposed absence of any direct and vital issues of a tangible nature. The republi- cans have especially stood to lose from this use. The general tendency has always been for the voters to drift away from the administration in power during the second year after its selection. This has account- ed for the number of times the lower house of Congress has been In opposition to the administration during the last two years of its term. But this year there is especial reason for ers to fear the results is what Spain has been in her maneuverings at Paris. Any rebuke to the administration, whatever nt be the local cz nuld be accepied nd p by the powers, that the polic of this government he conquered nation is repudia eople. republican m: It ase, ps orth Carolina there is every sign that the troubles which at one time were so se- rieusly apprehended have been averted. ‘The negroes are reported as voting for con- gressmen and state senators and acting Peacefully, while the whites have not shown any tendency to molest them. This freedom from trouble is unquestionably due to the thorough demonstrations by the whites ard to the withdrawal by the repub- licans of the local tickets upon which the fight has hinged. Washington placidly watches the contest without any home distractions. The elec- ons are very interesting to the citizens of capital, for they affect the Senate and House of Representatives, our local lature. and there is also a @lrect con- on the part of some section of the lo- th cal popul tion in each of the state con- tests. The Star has taken every precaution to insure that the fullest and latest ac- counts of the battle shall be published and bul and within a few hours from this issue most of the results which are now so anxiously awaited will be fully known. ——— The Senate and the Treaty.

The annual review is an nt cusitm to foster, for it puis the ers of the departments on their met- to maimtain a high standard of outward ard stimulates a wholesome tween the precincts. The true ef- af the rolice, of course, rests upon ng wore than skill in drilling and Sppearance. sivalry ficie sr 233 of personal appearance, yet it eannot b joned that the influence of a strict attention to t rnals will have an effect upor the discipline and capacity of the force. The principal trouble about the force today Is that it is not large enough to cover the extensive territory of the District, particularily in view of the Fapid extension of the city conditions into the suburbs, the disproportionate growth of the area requiring close patrolling and the steady accumulation of property nies. Yet the average tests applied to the force are usually demonstrative of exceptional eMficiency. Accidents happen occasionally, course, but the present tendency is to trace these sirictly and promptly to their source and to profit by the remedial sug- gestions thereby furnished. The fire department is so constantly earn- ing new laurels that tt is unnecessary to point particularly to its record. Yesterday's line of steamers, reels, trucks and wagons, drawn by magnificent specimens of horse flesh and manned by as brave and intelli- gent a force of fire-fighters as ever han- Ged hose, showed amply that Washington. bas kept weil to the front rank in this Une of municipal development. It would have be21 more satisfactory, of course, if there had been at least one water tower in the line, and the area of danger in the Dis- trict is now so extensive that at least two more steamers might safely be added to the equipment. These requirements rep- resent the constant struggle for increases in the attitede of the citizens toward the houses of Congress, and reflect one phase of the difficulty of maintaining the stan- dards of municipal excellence. Like the po- lice force, as far as it goes the fire depart- ment ts all that could very well be desired by the citizens, but it might go farther, it might with advantage be larger. Washington's low fire and crime rates testify amply to the good work which is dene without cstentation by these public servants, and their appearance as they passed in review yesterday would tend to make President McKinley feel proud of his charge, the national capital. —_—> + =__-___ England Very Much Alive. It is noteworthy that, notwithstanding France's pacific assurances about Fashoda, England’s watchfulness as to her own fleet keeps up. Her ships are ready and well placed. She could call on them and be effectively served by them in any sea to- morrow. The fact is widely advertised. €vidently she wants the world to under- stand that she is ready for any emergency that may arise. That Is the best policy. The United States proved the wisdom of it in the trouble with Spain. We received many pacific assur- ances about Cuba. Spain was pretending to be In a most complying mood as to our sug- gestions about the humanities there. She recalled Weyler, but did not materially soften the course he had inaucurated to- ward the helpless people of the isiand. She pretended not to be aggrieved by the ar- rival of the Maine in Havana harbor, but the ship was destroyed by secret agencies which Spaniards must have manipulated. This government was not misled. It was slow about its land preparations, but its ships were in place when the pinch cazae. Dewey and Sampson sailed away promptly from their respective stations, and were on hand in tim In France England has an opponent much more deserving of attention than the United States had in Spain. France is strong in herself and strong in her alliance with Russia. She may surrender Fashoda, and be never so assuring about the whole Nile country, but with Russia active in China, and France at the beek and call of Russia, she will safely bear watching. England does not intend to be taken by surprise. Her main strength is on the sea, and she must maintain it or lose all. If she were to be worsted seriously at any important point in any engagement where she nad assem- bled representative ships of her famous ar- mament her loss in prestige would be her principal loss. The world would expect her to win, and if she failed to win the cur- prise would be very great. An Englishman expressing himself at the beginning of our war with Spain remarked that the Americans seemed to b2 very much alive. It is a pleasure to return the com- pliment now, and to note that the English seem to be very much alive. ———_~+ += ___ A Supreme Court Building Needed. It may be that Sunday's Capitol fire will result in the erection of a new building for the accommodation of the Supreme Court, a project which has been in serious contemplation by the government for some years. Senator Morrill, who succeeded in bringing about the provision of law for ihe National Museum and laier for the Con- gressional Library, has never ceased in his efforts to secure an enactment which would produce a structure for court purposes in keeping with the dignity and importance of the tribunal. The venerabie Vermonter has always believed that this ntry is rich enough and great enough to provide adequately for the transaction of its bus His dream has been io balance the Mbrary structure and grounds by providing on the corresponding site on the north an equally handsome home for the court, with perhaps quarters for the Department of Justice and such other legal and judictal bureaus of the government as !t might be appropriate to assemble under a single roof. Senator Morrill has by no means been alone in hig conception that the Supreme Court is at present housed !n a most inade- quate manner. The court room itself ts too small for the comfortable and easy trans- ction of business. The accessory cham- bers are insignificant and ill-arranged. The court is a co-tenant with the houses of Congress and fs at times embarrassed by their nearness. The quarters occupied by the law Hbrary are inadequate, and, com- pared with the new book home just com- pleted near by, is antiquated end uninvit- ing. Yesterday's fire shows what a danger- ous jumble of fire-alding devices has been accumulated in the lapse of years, in startling proximity to one of the raost tm- portant establishments under the govern- ment. Had the court been properly housed, with its brary carefully arranged and sur- rounded, with modern facilities for Ughting and modern opportunities to tight fire when it has made its appearance, it is safe to assert that the damage to the court's rec- ords and the building would not have been one-tenth as great as it now Is, if the fire had occurred at all. ———_~++e__ Sagasta's invitation to the European pow- ers to take chances on war would receive no more serious consideration than the ezar’s peace note found. ————_+ +s ___ There may be some professional satisfac- tion to Col.

Positive results should flow from the campaign of the Civic Center of this city against unsanitary conditions in the public schools of Washington. Last nigat'’s meet- ing, a report of which appears in the news columns today, brought forth a number of well-considered expressions ‘on this im- portant subject, and it is evident from the investigations conducted by a commiiiee of this organization into the sanitary sur- roundit.gs of the school children that a radical reform fs necessary in several «i- rections. Foul airs should be rigidly ex- cluded from the school room and the school piay rooms. The yards should be at least free from noxious surroundings.

Considerabie attention has been paid of late by school authorities to the general health of pupils and teach- ers. In the awakening to the importance of this matter some decidedly beneticial re- forms have been wrought, but there is much ground to be covered, and it is to this end that the Civic Center is now ad- dressing itself. Certain disclosures of the Civic Center reports will undoubtedly be fgllowed up by the municipal authorities. + 0 Chairman Odell says that Colonel Rocse- velt will have 40,000 plurality, and Platt says that he will have 100,000.

From the St. Louls Globe-Democrat. The fact that the United States has been granteé an additional 28,000 square feet of space in the exposition of 1900 causes sur- prise all cver Europe as well as in France. America will now, at its own solicitation, have 203,000 square feet of room in the in- ternational exposition, and it wanted even a greater amount. It will have as large and interesting an exhibit as any nation in the world outside of France. The expecta- tion in France, and in Europe in general, a few months ago was that it would take only a small part in that affair. This cir- cumstance and the consideration shown for Spain's weakness in the leniency offered her in the terms of surrender in Cuba and in omitting to exact a war indemnity are a revelation for the old world. They show that though America has the giant's strength it refuses to use it ilke a glant. The expressions which this magnanimity is calling out are a fine tribute to the coun- try’s moral dignity and civilization. They are an impressive exhibition of the power, courage and moral grandeur of democratic government. They proclaim to the world that America is first in peace as well as in war. e+e __-__ Legislation Needed. From the Philadelphia Press. ‘There is nothing improbable in the report that a Danish steamship company has agents now on the way to the United States to secure terms for the construction of four first-class passenger steamships. The ships for the proposed new line between St. Petersburg and New York are to be fur- nished by this company. If constructed in the United States and made sufficiently rapid they might by a slight change in own- ership come under the postal subsidy act. As good ships as any in the world are bullt in American yards. It {s a question of running them under the American flag, after they are built, that deters our people entering more largely into the foreign steamship transportation business. That reluctance must be overcome by legislation, which will meet the obstacles to the own- ership of vessels engaged in the foreign trade. It is of prime importance in the ex- tension of our commerce. The South at Paris. From the Memphis Commerical Appeal. Now that the United States commissioner general to the Paris exposition has been able to secure ampl> space for an American exhibit, it is to be hoped that the south, and especially cur own state, will retrieve the blunder it made in having little or no representation at ths Chicago world’s fair. Let us show the world at Paris what the south can produce, and we will be well re- paid for our trouble. ————_ 22 ______ Hobson Will Not Be in It. From the Chicago Post. If there is anything that will make the horrors of war dwindle into insignificance it {s the opening of the foot ball season. In another week or two Hobson will have to give way entirely to the man who makes a gain of twenty yards with a sprained ankle, a broken nose and eight men on his back. oo An Opinion Open to Suspicion.
