I Ertered as secend-clts* mail matter at the post
I clf.ee at Washington. D. C.
TBE STAB haa a reyuiar and perma- I
n-nt Tamily Circulation much mora
t'zan the combined circulation of the
ether Washington dallies. Aa a Hewi
and Advertieiny Medium it has no
competitor.
X . In order to avoid delays on account
of personal absence letters to THE ;
STAB should not be addressed to any
Individual connected with the office, but
almply to THE STAB, or to the Editorial
or Bueinesa Department, accordlny to
i
tenor or purpose.
r
The Police Estimates.
Maj. Sylvester, superintendent of police.
in tils.annual estimates for the suppott
of the police department submitted
to the District Commissioners yesterdaysets
forth that the strength of the police
force of the District is inadequate for
'.lie effective protection of life and property.
This, not withstanding that Washington
is the capital of the United States
and that the population of the District
s orderly and obedient to the laws.
The accuracy of the statement made
by Maj. Sylvester is admitted. The people
of the District, though appreciating
the efficiency of the police force, knowthat
it is too small. The American eaptal
ought to have the model police system
of the world. Attention has been
repeatedly called to the inadequacy of
the forte, hut without avail. An increase
nas been allowed at widely separate periods.
but the increases allowed by Congress
have been much smaller than were
isked and needed. 1 he number 01 new
police asked for by Maj. Sylvester is
modest. If the additional police were
allowed by the Congress of the I'nited
Slates, which is also the legislature of
the District of Columbia, the Washington
police force would still be too small.
The population of tiie District approaches
the three hundred and fifty
housand mark and the area patrolled by
tiie police is seventy square miles. Outride
of Washington and Georgetown are
more than eighty villages and inhabited
subdivisions. The suburban territory of
the District for the most part is thickly
settled and spread over with a network
>f roads, which with a strong police
'orce would be patrolled.
Washington is proud of its police. It
las faith in the honesty, courage and iniustty
of the men. They prove themselves
worthy wearers of the blue and
brass whenever the emergency arises.
They are deserving of the best treatncnt,
and the good wishes of The Star
ire with Maj. Sylvester in his effort not
brviy to obtain more men but to obtain
Increased pay for officers and privates.
The money asked for the reconstruction
of cell rooms in several of the nolice
stations .should be granted that these
jlaees may be brought in line with modsrn
ideas of sanitation and humane ideas
as to the treatment of prisoners.
The motor patrol wagons asked for by
Maj. Sylvester should be allowed. The
aid wagons, though they do the best they
i can, seem too slow in the light of twentieth
century development, and in the police
department, as in the fire department,
the motor vehicle should be tried out in
actual service.
No Wires on the Xonument.
The Washington Monument will not be
turned into a wireless telegraph station.
The President has shown good sense in
this instance, and it is hoped that the
unusual proposition will be so stunned
by executive disapproval that it will never
be revived.
Many things may be said in behalf of
the utility of the measure, but nothing
that could outweigh the bad taste and
L bad sentiment involved in the plan. It
would be a breach of faith on the part
of the American people to divert the
Washington Monument from the purpose
for which it was conceived and erected?
a simple and impressive memoria. to the
Father of the Republic.
The principal thing desired in a wireless
telegraph tower is height. This is easily
, obtained. If the government wants to
have at Washington a wireless station for
the receipt and dispatch of messages over
long distances it might be well to obtain
a site on one of the commanding ridges
that surround the basin of the city and
erect there a structure that would overtop
tlie Eiffel tower. This could be done
There are no engineering difficulties in
lite way. The art of steel construction
has progressed since tlie building of the
great skeleton tower at Paris, and a higher
structure especially adapted for the
wireless business could be erected at
Washington. On one of the eminences
east, north or west of the city such a
structure might indeed be cloud piercing.
It is pointed out that cholera, when it
ievelops in Europe, usually originates in
Russia. Quarantine should be added to
he numerous other restrictions which survmnrl
flint rnnntrv
When Mr. Hobson is not en Raced in
groclalming the fellow peril, the prophet
Df trouble in Cuba can always be depended
on to keep up the interest.
Prudence would suggest to wicked trusts
'he desirability of ha vine an office cleaning.
with a view to making a bonfire of
pld letters.
The Cleveland Letter.
Mi F. S Hastings, executor of the estate
of tjrover Cleveland, makes this
reply to tlie charge that the published let- '
ter of Mr. Cleveland indorsing the rano
.da> > of Judge Taft for the presidency is '
bogus: 1
1 liave delayed making any public
st it? mcnt regarding this matter, acting i
under advice of counsel The ficts are (
that there is abundant evidence that Mr. ,
Cleveland was engaged In writing an article
for publication some time prior to his '
death, and thit this article was sold by '
him and actually delivered to a literary
agent prior to bis death, who merely ob- ,
tained from me. after Mr Cleveland's
ilufll 1, rt ,-m . t U.r, rtf 111- '*
, . v. - ??*... V / III (!l . t|./n W I Hin II Ul ll'l. 11" lOi
S' ll ii to the New York Times. My sole ' <
connection with the affair was in acting >
in niy capacity as Mr. Cleveland's executor
to confirm the arrangement that had ,
already been consummated between Mr. !
Cleveland and the literary agent.
"Naturally, in view of the doubts cast |'
by the various critics upon the authen- i i
ticily of the document. 1 took great pains
to investigate all the cond'tlons surrounding
the transaction between Mr. Cleve
land and the literary agent, and I can
state positively that 1 have had no evi- <
dence which would warrant any doubt as ,
to the genuineness of the article in question
"There are within my knowledge facts
and incidents that confirm my belief in
the genuineness of the article as Mr.
Cleveland's own production "
The genuineness of the letter was questioned
upon two scores. (1> The style of
expression, which was pronounced an
awkward imitation, and ?2) the sentiments
of the production, which it was
insisted Mr. Cleveland could not have
entertained
. Mr. Cleveland's style was h:r own, and
Vjt easy of imitation. He used long wordsp
and long sentences, and these abound In t
the letter in question. Besides, it "sounds'" i
like Mr. Cleveland. If the subject had i
been other than political and no cam- t
paign in progress the letter would prob- <
ably not have been challenged in any <
quarter. The form of expression would t
easily have carried it. i
As for^the sentiments of the produc- r
tion. wherein do they work injustice to t
Mr. Cleveland's record or memory? A ^ I
friend of Mr. Br\an in Maryland de- j t
clared that as an advocate of a tariff for j \
revenue only Mr. Cleveland could not j t
have indorsed a protectionist like Judge j i
m 1 ? ?o.-orlnnL-ofl t !lP faPt i r
i an. Bui mis man v/?ciivv.?v? ? , ,
that Mr. Cleveland had twice supported
-Mr. McKinley against Mr. Bryan?in one
campaign when Mr. McKinley was promising
a new tariff law founded on protection,
and in the other when such a law?
the Dingley law?had heen passed according
to promise and was then in operation.
Mr Watterson challenged the letter because
in one paragraph the wisdom of the
south s course in continuing to subordinate
everything to the negro question, when as
to her local affairs she had completely
eliminated that question, was doubted.
Mr. Cleveland's attitude toward the negro
and the suffrage was identical with what
Mr. Watterson's now is. He supported the
soutli in her disfranchising , laws, but
worked for the negro vote in the states
where it was cast and counted, and appointed
negroes to office as a reward for
their services to him at the polls. Mr.
Watterson supports the south s disfran-j
chising laws, and then asks the negroes,
in the northern states to help Mr. Bryan.
If they respond favorably Mr. Bryan will
be expected to appoint negroes to office,
and will do so. e
Lastly we come to the relations between
Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Bryan. They could
have known each other but slightly. 1
Mr. Bryan, under democratic direction, f
voted for the populist candidate for Presi- '
dent ih 18!>J, but in the hope of ^Vlr. Cleve- *
land's election. i.iae many umvi ticumcrats,
he was bitterly disappointed and
resentful when Mr. Cleveland put silver
to sleep, and in one of his outbursts donounced
the latter as a "bunco steerer."
He never retracted the epithet, and Mr.
Cleveland never forgave the affront. Mr.
Cleveland was what Is called "an Old (
Testament man." When smitten on one
cheek he did not turn the other, but de- j
livered a stinging blow himself in reply.
This time he has struck even from the
Brave. i
1 "** 1 t
Y. M. C. A.'s Campaign Book. ,
The Young Men's Christian Association
of Washington city deserves the success
it lias achieved and deserves the greater a
success that must come to it. This asso- <
ciation is a live one. It has young blood
in it and the blood is in circulation. It is
always enterprising for the cause of good. (
and its latest enterprise, timely and I
catchy, is in the form of a book, little in
size and big in scope, which it calls Its
Campaign Book, and in the introduction }
to which is found this: 1
"This book tells about us?who we are.
what we have done, what we stand for
today. It's our Campaign Book. The 1
campaign is for men?a part, we believe,
of the vast campaign of God for the salvation
of a world. It's not a campaign
of days or weeks. We know neither
times nor seasons. We're at it. all at it.
and always at it. The sun never sets on
our work or our workers."
The platform which it presents is built
of seven planks?One. For True Brother- '
hood; two. For the TraiTied Mind; three.
For the Sound Body* four. For Good
Times; five. For Washington, the City; 1
six. for the Man Himself; seven. For the
Modern Boy. These planks. It Is urged
in the platform, arc "broad, simple, t
straightforward and quickly grasped by
the busiest man." Further, it is urged
that these declarations are not mere
theories; that they are the settled principles
out of fifty years' experience, that
they take hold of a man's life here and (
now, that they are vital issues and that (
they have to do with the every day busi- (
ness of life. j
The Young Men's Christian Association
through its platform declares that It
stands for Washington, the city, and
quotes this sentiment expressed by Henry
B. F. Macfarland, president of the Board
of Commissioners of the District, at the
10O8 annual dinner of the department ot
education in the Washington Y. M. C. A.; ,
"Our cit> stands, in strength and simplicity.
for intellectual and spiritual
achievement. Above the clamor of the I
market places and the whirl of sensuous
pleasures, it reminds us constantly of
men who were too busy to make money, ]
too high minded to spend it sordidly, and
who gave to their country what others 1
give to themselves. Its voice summons 1
the youth of the country with the Irresistible
call of duty to the unselfish life
of patriotic endeavor."
The Y. M. C. A. recognizes that the
world problem is the modern city and <
that the half of that problem is the young <
man. " t
West Virginia.
At last there appears something resembling
harmony in the republican camp
in West Virginia. That is to say, the two
republican state tickets have been reduced
to one, and a new man heads it. Will
the ariangement work? The warfare between
the Seherr and the Swisher factions
was Ion:; Hnd bitter, and some
deep wounds were inflicted. They may
heal in the six weeks remaining of the ,
campaign. The state has been in the
republican column so long the party mayhe
able to stand such an experience as
it has recently undergone, but it is not
an experience to be courted.
Everybody who has enjoyed Uncle John
Robinson's circus will wish him luck in
his marriage, even though his family is 1
somewhat annoyed.
T , c
So much campaign nitroglycerin must *
be something of a shock to a peaceable y
gentleman like Judge Parker. r
> I
Chanler?Man and Politician. ;
An old subscriber calls The Star's atten- i
Hon to an inconsistency which he fancies 1
in Tiip Jitter ? trpfltmpnt r?f Mr
L'hanler, the democratic nominee for Governor
of New York. If Mr. Chanler Is a a
worthy matt, who ha* avoided the insipidities
and puerilities of swelldom and adJressed
himself to the serious business of j
life, how can it be supposed that as Governor
of New York he might fall under t
ihe malftrn influences of machine rule?
Mr. Chanler as a man is well and favorably
known at home. The Star has
oahl him no higher compliment than he 1
ieserves. and it repeats here and now the
compliment paid. e
Mr. Chanler as a eandidate is distinctly
the representative of machine power. The
Rochester convention was controlled ab- ^
solutely by Charles F. Murphy and Fingy
Conners. Their word was law. They
supported Mr. Chanler. and he was nominated
by acclamation. Had they opposed
him he would not have been heard *
of in the convention. No man ever was,
or could he. more beholden to other men ''
for a rtftmlnatlon than Mr. Chanler is to ! r
the two machine men mentioned. They
a:e supreme today in his political fortunes.
1These
two men are in politics for practical
purposes. They control Hie machin- 1
ery of their party in the state as abso- *
lutely as they controlled the Rochester
convention. No democrat will sit in the
next New York legislature without their
favor. They will determine what nvas- F
ures are to he supported and what opposed
by the democrats. *
Now, if elected governor, Mr. Chanler
will .have to work with or against the
mthcirs of his official being. If he works
with them he will become one of ttiem.
George B. McClellan, another man of the
Chanler Hrpe. accepted office at the hands
of Charles F. Murphy, worked with him
luring %ne term, and squeezed through
n his race for re-election by a narrow
n?rgin. and one tinctured for a time with
iccusatlons of fraud. He then broke with
Vfurphy. and has since been wholly with?ut
political influence. If Mr. Chanler
works against Murphy and Conners he
will ftall to the ground. There will be
iothir*g to support him They are the
oartv.
The case of Judge Taft and George B.
"ox is not like this case. Mr. Cox is far
'rom being the author of Judge Taft's
mmination. If he were as powerful in
he Taft camp as Murphy and Conners
ire in the Chanler camp. Judce Taft's
andidacv would he hopeless. Mr. Bryan
voitjd have a walkover. The Cincinnati
ios-5 .was but a fly on the wheel at Chi
ago. He had not shaped the sentiment,
ven in Ohio. whioh was there demanding
fudge Taft's nomination and which
leonred the nomination. In case of
ludge T^aft's election, as much as may he
xpected of Mr. Cox will he a request to
lame a federal official or two in Cincinnati.
and Judge Taft should deny even
hat.
The Star is. and from the first has
>een. warmly in favor of Gov. Hughes'
dectlon. It admires his course in office,
ind especia'iy ihis resistance of all hoss
nfiuences. The bosses did not make him.
ind have not been able to use him. He
las been through the fire, and comes out
>ure gold. Mr. Chanler, on account of his
nachine connections, would at least be an
xperiment.
