The New ibobtniIs-

The District Commissioners claim the

says that this act shall not apply to any
company operating street railways outsid.
the limits of the city of Washington or
through uniInproyed and sparsely-settled
sections of the same, until such time as the
Commissioners of the District of Columbia
shall deem necessary for the public needs -
Perhaps. in the opinion of the Commission
ers. the main portion of the proposed bob
tail route-which commences at G street
and Massachusetts avenue and ends at the
northern termination of North Capitol
street-runs through sparseIy-settIed
region, but the general belief is likely TO be
completely al variance with thaS opinion.
The problem is a new one for Eckington-
ians. In other ci.ias-wicked place+pas-
sengers On bobtail cars hav. been known
TO refuse to put their farea in the box thus
compelling the employment Of conductors.
Surely the EckElgronians will not proceed
to such an extreme.

Is Fhfs u Precedent:

Royalty has never been accused of being
over-moIest. Whenever it has waited any
thing 1T has generally reached out after 1t
successfully. In this crude country, where
society rs in comparatively ch totic and
iowiy condition. people who are about to be
married usually accept such presents as
may be made to them. II the .>ouple is
very popular there will be many duplicates
and some of the gifts will not perhaps be
entirely to the satisfaction of the recip-
tents. This might have been so as to the
PriI less Maud of Wales. but it Is not. The
people of the county of Norfolk had raised
about four hundred pounds with which to
purchase present for the highly-respected
young lady The princess notified the COM
mittee in charge that her preference would
be for a check covering the amount of the
subscriptions. With that little document
in her possession she could go out shopping
sone day and purchase for her own use q
silver dinner service which woul1 hot yio-
late all TIE laws of art. So the people of
Norfolk gave the Princess Maud a check.

Would Be Good Business.

That Is an interesting rumor which has it
that the Pullman Palace Car Company is
likely to reduce its rates one-half. If the
rumor develops into truth and practice then
there can be rejoicing at both ends of the
line. for the public will secure, at reasonable
figures the luxury which all persons travel
ing like to enjoy, while the Pullman COM
pany will do SO much more business that it's
dividends are certain to be increased In
the Pullman end of the proposition people
generally Will hardly be much Interested
the individual Is quite as selfish as is the
syndieate-but experience teaches us that
the cheapenins of any kind of product in
variabiy results in largely increased con-
sumption. Ii Pullman rates are cut fifty
percent the chances are that five or six
times many passengers will patronize
Pullman cars as may now be found in those
comfortable vehicles. That would mean
many additional cars with resultant profit
so great as to more than offset the rumored
reduction.

People who want to be well informed as
TO the political situation will have no diff
ficuity in securing clear view of the entire
which is appearing and will continue to ap-
pear in The Star. A more mxed-up condi-
tion of partisan affairs has probably never
been since this government was first Or
sanlZed; now even the most sklful and
daring of political prophets stammers- and
hesitates and does. what he can to avoid
making anything that looks like a direct
statement as to what the future holds in
reserve for development in November next
The Star has made arrangements for a re-
markably comprehensive and thoroughly
independent news service from every con-
tested state in the Union. 1t did the same
thing, but not quite so extensively four
years ago. and then provided it's readers
with vast quantity of valuable and in
tereSting information as to the progress of
the campaign. Now, as in times past The
Stars news will be wholly without bias: it
VIII show things just as they are without
regard for any of the influences that are
customarily in motion during a presidential
campaign. Whatever views The Star NAV
have as to candidates or platforms will find
expression in the editorial columns In the
news columns will be found plain statements
oil fact upon which readers may safely base
opinions of which they are not likely to be
made ashamed. The Star will present the
news pure and undefiled. That is The Stars
habit.

Is Weyler Tired:

Is General Weyler tired of his bloody
job? Is he convinced that success is i'm
possible. and Is he trying IN an indirect
way to get the fact before the authorities
at Madrid?
Attention has several times been called
to the immunity enjoyed at Havana by a
correspondent of the London Times. who,
while his American associates were pinned
down to the hard lines of the press censor,
or for evading the censor were being sent
back home, was writing to his paper in
terms of discourage to the Spanish
c. Use. Some Of his letters have been more
severe than any printed in this country.
They have gone elaborately into the SUBJ
ject. and disclosed the fact that the author
was in the enjoyment of excellent facilities

vana. and is still writing home In a strain

heart. His letters are read in Spain, as
| In other European countries The Times
| Is great authority, in Europe generally
as we'll as in Great Britain.
This has seemed strange over here Why
| should this English writer be granted priv
ieges denied to American writer's? Cen
eral Weylers excuse for establishing the
press censorship was to insure the sending
abroad of reliable news about the progress
of the war. The real reason, of course,
was to insure. if possible. the sending out
of only such news as might be favorable
to Spain. The representatives of the
American press. he charged. were preju-
diced against Spain. and could not be
trusted to make fair report home. But
why has this English writer been allowed
to spread abroad news which If communi-
Gated by any American journalist in Ha-
vara would have promptly caused his ban
ishment from the island?
Can 1t be that General Weyler is taking
this means of letting his superiors at home
know just how desperate the situation
in Cuba is? He could not afford to COM
mun,cate the fact directly himself That
would result in his downfall 1t was for
something like that-for explaining to the
home government precisely what
afoot in Cuba, and how 1t must be dealt
Articles of such import in American news
papers would count for nothing at Madrid
They would be discounted by the we'll un-
derstood sympathies of the American
press and people with the Cuban cause
But a review of matters on the island
printed in the famous English newspaper,
whose leading articles are read by all the
statemen of Europe, would cut the ice.
And so it has cut it. Spain is at last
aroused to the real situation, and the peo-
pie are murmuring. They getting
tired of the heavy drains of money and
troops. with no progress to show for them.
General Weyler's position has become
not only embarrassing, but humiliating
He is, at most, managing to keep alive
But he doesn't expose himself. He sticks
close to Havana. His troops are not en-
ployed. The most active Spanards in
Cuba are the doctors, the hospital nurses
and the grave-disgers. Fever is raging in
his camp, and the mortality is appalling
1t IS no wonder, therefore that he is will
ing to shelter this English correspondent
whose graphic and doubtless altogether
truthful accounts of what is going on are
helping to bring Spain to something which
for courtesy's sake may be called her
serses. This correspondent is we'll worth
the protection he enjoys.
