The aggregate circulation of the Star last
week was 170,477. Thai of TheTimes was
213,105, Willi h shows a circulation of
42,688 more than the Star. Whether or not

The Times Is decidedly the best daily In

secures the greater will be its circulation.
It is possible to fool the public occasionally
by insinuations and monkey-paw abase, but
when the object of such attacks is really

Increase of popularity.

A LOSING TRANSACTION.
Tho history of tbe bond syndicate lor$i
would be more interesting It the iinmc3 of
all who participated in its benefits could
be known. Little more than six months
ago a secret sale ot $00,112,963 in bonds
was negotiated. The purchase price of the
bonds was 104 1-2, and Uiey mere sold by
thesyndicateat prices ranglngfrom 112 1-2
to 120. While the syndicate claims only a
net profit of aboat $2,101,000 on the
transaction, it is difficult to see how the
amount couldbekeptsolowwhentheniargin
received bust have ranged from 8 1-2 to
115 1-2 per cent.
Bat the worst part of the sale is the loss
totticgovcrnment. Had tliebondsbecnsold
by the government directly to the public.
Instead ot to the syndicate, the amount
realized would have been the difference
between the 104 1-2, which the govern
ment recehed from the syndicate, and the
112 1-2 to 120, which thcpublicpaidtiitbe
yLdicate. This amount Is variously esti
mated, but it is safe to assert that the
government lost $10,000,000 by theyndi
cate method of disposing of bonds. .
Secretary Carlisle announces that an
other bond sale will not be necessary. Inas
much as the Administration has been in
close consultation with members of the
syndicate, this Information Is particu
larly gratifying. A bond sale now would
bo especially disastrous not only to tbe
hopes ot tbe Democratic party, but to the
bueincss of the country. We hae had
enough of bond Bales for tbe present.
IIIOOUK THAN GHOVEIt.
It must be rather humiliating to the
President of the United States to read that
Prof. Filzslnimons, master of tbe art of
physical culture, requires no less than
three special cars for his comfort when on
a journey. Tbe President Is forced to be
content with one, and that one furnished
free by railroad corpiratlous. Trot. Fitz
simmons pays for bis. It was in this style
that the professor was found to be travel
ing when he passed through Washington
last night on bis way to give a Dclsartean
exhibition to the people of Texas.
President Cleveland Is forced, when mak
ing hli little tours, to rely upon the larder
of the railway dining car for creature com
forts. Prof, ntziunmons carries with
blm crates of the finest capons, alive and
cackling, an J only to be slaughtered when
the master calls his chef dc cuisine and so
commands.
Prof. FItzslmmnns, If he be able to carry
out his programme, will earn In one night
as much as the President earns in a jear,
ossuming that the President really earns
his annual salary of $50,000. Prof. Fitz
slmmon3 carries with him as his only ap
propriate pet a great, fighting, Nubian
lion. President Cleveland Is accompanied
by a poodle dog. If history does not lie.
The professor bangs at the face of a, so
called human being like himself, stand
ing up courageously to take his own pun
ishment In return.- President Cleveland
bangs at ducks and reed birds with a gun,
and tbe birds cannot hit back.
There Is no use of moralizing over these
comparisons. They speak for themselves.
If they do not prove that In these fin de
alecle days It Is better to -be a prize
fighter than a President in this great
union of republics, tbe most progressive
country of the world, what does It prove?
roLICEMAN'S PISTOL AGAIN.
Whilethere seems to be hardly any doubt"
that the fatal shooting of young Dcmpsey
by Foliccman Vermillion was purely an ac
cident, yet it was not an accident that the
officer pulled his "gun" to frighten bis as
sailant. So It Is with nearly every one of
thefataUhootlngs tbatoccurso frequently.
Officer Green merely Intended to scare a
negro go that be would stop running, but in
a clear field, with both sty and landscape J
for tared, no hit-tie fleeing man in the
head and killed him Instantly.
In no oilier cities ol tbe world arc such
accidenU, so frequent as In those ot the
United 'States. In London, the world's
metropolis, wth five millions ot people
crowded together, policemen are not per
mitted even to" carry' tlub, except upon ex
traordinary occasions, and can use a deadly
weapon only when that Is absolutily neces
sary In self-defense. In Paris the pa
trol use'-weapons almost never except for
the purrxwo of dispersing a mob.
Of course no one can quite Judge of the
predieatnentln which apolicemanflnds him
self when attacked by toughs, but It must
seem from these comparisons either that
American cities are afflicted with a more
murderous outlaw class than European
cities, or that American policemen are less
thoroughly disciplined and that their Judg
ment is Blower and less perfect than that
of their trans-Atlantic brethren.
Tossibly the transplanting of the foreign
tough to America may furnish an explana
tion" of the rail that police officers commit
fewer in urders on the other side, or, possi bly,
the foreign officer permits disorder to go
on without interference more than bis
American cousin does. '
rnANCE IN MADAGASCAR.
While the whole Christian world, France
Included, Is holding up Its hands In horror
at tbe atrocities against the Armenians
in Turkey and tbe missionaries In China,
it might be well forall good people to take a
glance at France in Madagascar.
To begin with, France has no moral
or political right upon Valagossa soil, ex
cept the brute right, to take what she can
get from tbe natural owners. France has
ever been merciless in htr petty conquest
over weak people, and -while the territory
to be tecurcd in Madagascar would be of no
great benefit, tbe war upon that people
has been persecuted with a persistency
almost amounting to Insanity In view of
its disastrous decimation of the French
troops.
Thousands of French soldiers have found
graves in Madagascar toll on account of
affections due to tbe climate. Thousands
have been sent back to France disabled by
illness and thousands more are sick upon
Madagascar shores. Camp and vessel are
one vast hospital.
Ills but fair, therefore, in behalf of the
persecuted Islanders, and of the French
soldier as will, that the critics of Turkey
and China should take a shy at France with
their keen lances. Already a. protest
conies from humane men and v. omen in
Trance against tbe governmental policy
which cuts both ways. A cabinet crisis
is threatened on account of this policy,
and the opposition will hnrdl) be silenced
by the report this morning of a victory over
six thousand novas in which eighty natives
were killed.
CUI1AN RECOGNITION.
While all America desires the Cuban
patriots shall be accorded belligerent rights,
and tho administration is being hauled over
tho coals for Its apparent indifference In
regard to thini, possibly the Cubans them
selves are most to blame for the inaction.
Several, weeks, ago a provisional govern
ment was formed by the insurgents, and a
President and other officials elected. That
was a proper formal step which shpuld
have been followed immediately by theap
polntment of representatives to the Gov
ernment ot the United States. With such
officials knocking at the door of the ad
ministration and demanding recognition
the chances for the taking of this ltal ac
tion would have been greatly strengthened.
When tbe recent civil war In Chill was at
its height the faction fighting the Tilllan
government sent several representatives
to Washington, asking their recognition.
Owing to persistent misinformation given
to the State Department by Minister Egan,
the Chilians were even refused a hearing,
but when the rebels came of f triumphant the
chief of the envojs, who had been treated
bo contemptuously by the State Department
authorities and the President, was made
minister, nnd the whole administration
had to eat bumble pie.
It is not probable that such a blunder
would be made In the event ot Cuban pa
triots sending accredited representatives
"to'Washington, and It was a serious over
sight not-to-have had thtra here long ago.
Public sentiment would ensure their cordial
treatment. They would be fairly lionized,
and recognition would almost certainly soon
follow their coming.
PEARY'S EXPLORATIONS.
Lieut. Peary Is very rcti(t?nt in regard
to the result of Ills recent tramp through
Northern Greenland, but enough Is known
To show that he and others ot Ills party
narrowly escaped tbe fate that has over
taken so mapyiittbese curious enthusiasts
who persist In trying to reach a point upon
which they can stand stock still and yet
turn their faces during twenty-four hours
to every point of tbe compass.
Peary's expedition, It is true, had not
for its object the discovery ol the North
Pole, but bis purpose was almost as sense
less, as his explorations were In a land
where "ilcfSenslClo person would ever think
ot "locating," even for a cummer resi
dence. Admitting that he has contributed
something to science, be nearly sacrificed
his own life and the lives of others In
the effort. A meteorite or two, a stray
and badly-wrecked fossil or so, even the
discovery of that edge of ice which is cup-posed-
to mark one-spot ot the northern
limit of Greenland, do not compensate for
the loss ot even the canines which died of
disease and left the party dogless.
JJxploratlons of desert or forest which
may be transformed into fertile fields,
contributing to man's subsistence, Is al
ways commendable. Tbe man who makes
two blades nf-grass grow where but one
grew before is more deserving of immor
tality tfian he who loses bis life amid con
tinents ot ice, or even than he who shall
discover the North Pole.
Tbe foolish things that have been done
in tbe name ot science are innumerable
tbe crimes are not a tew. It may be of
real benefit to know ibe cause ot heat;
the composition of the sun; the, exact mean
ing ot- the mysterious corona; of the pe
riodic black spots; .tbe source and sub
stance ot what is called the magnetic
'element'and 'influence, but those who
spend tbe nights and days of their, lives
looking for new comets, tracing Martian
canals, bunting for new asteroids or plan
etary satellites, or seeking earth's poles,
must.be set down nul.as scientists but mere
seekers after notoriety, for their discoveries
'are of no real use when made. i
'BTen-HLieut. Peary's expedition was
full ot danger and threatened death, and
should lead sensible people to frown upon
polar explorations by halfTazy cnthus-
siasts, or condemn it entirely until ltls I
taken up by a syndicate ol gbTemnte&U I
and prosecuted In a way that will Insure
success with a minimum of danger.

TIONS.
A telegram from Richmond announces
that Gov. O'Ferrall intends to refer to the
lawlessness of Alexandria County In bis
message to tbe Slate assembly. It Is natural
be should do so. Tho Governor referred jo
It In bis promise to the Board of Trade
committee, and tbat reference Is on file
In every newspaper office hi Washington.
It is an old political trick to abate public
abuses by official messages or blatant
promises. President Cleveland annihilated
tbe trusts In that way, and It would be
nothing strange for Gov. O'Ferrall to
obliterate Alexandria County lawlessness,
outlaw tracks and all, with a ringing
recommendation to the Virginia assembly.
Tbe public would believe Gov. O'Ferrall
more sincere if he had made an effort to
compel the Alexandria County officials to
enforce the law. -Thcro is nothing especially
commendable in framing eloquent phrases
denunciatory of an evil tbat could have
been remedied by prompt, energetic action.
Deeds are better than words, and If Gov.
O'Ferrall were half as enthusiastic in
driving thieves and thugs oul of Alexandria
County as be was tbe Coxey tramps, there
would be no need ot referring to such an
abase in bis annual message.
It is safe to say that there will be no
legislation against tbe outlaw tracks or
their evils in the coming State assembly.
Public sentiment against such free-for-all
vices is not sufficiently developed to In
fluence such a change. Therearetoomany

State affairs for tbo better element to
predominate, and we must be contented
with promises and official recommendations
until a different set of men officiate In'

Fires From St cum Iipe.
It is found that dry charcoal, when th
acat Is removed from it, being nearly pure
carbon, will absorb oxygen from tbe air
under favorable conditions so rapidly as
to produce active combustion that Is, a
Vimc. Now, the process of the origin of
fire from a steam pipe has been thus ex
plained, viz., tbe beat from a steam pipe
will in course nf time char nr carbonize the
wood in, contact with or close to it, and
wben this charring process extends to any
depth in tbe wood It presents a surface full
ot fissures and cracks, thus exposing a
large section to tbe air, this charring driv
ing the oxygen out of the charred portion
and keeping It oat while tbe heat Is kept
up. When, therefore, the beat Is removed
tbe charred wood reabsorbs oxygen from
the air, and tt tbe action hi rapid enough
in a dry atmoasbere combustion follows. .
