4 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON: January 29, 1959, Editor. THE EVENING STAR bas the fullest Local Cireulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published In Washington. Sr The Senate marched over a pavement of eggs yesterday in debating the etiquette and dress of our diplomats abroad. Senators Rea- gan and Plumb took the ground that there was too much mock manhood about the men we send to foreign courts. They said plainly they were willing to vote to abolish the whole sys- tem of diplomatic service. Senators Sherman and Hawley defended the diplomats and explained their necessity in in- ternational relations. The nice impor- tance of their precedence in court pro- cessions and the rules governing their sartorial privileges were amply laid down. From what was said it appears that the American minister abroad is like Burns’ typo, a man for s’ that. The tinsel of a uniform is his privilege, provided he comes by it honestly as seoldier. Otherwise, he is to dress as he would for the presence of the President of the United States. As to his place in a procession of diplo- mata, he must go where his official status puts him, and the judges of that are the people to whom he is sent. Now our ministers are shoved back several rods in the diplomatic processions because they are not called ambassadors. If they were given this designation they could see the kings and queens and emperors and empreases sooner, and would get wine with a finer bonqnet and cake that had not been mussed over by princes from Af- ghanistan or moguls from Tartary, who get in ahead of them just because they are fortunate enough to be called ambassadors by their folks athome. The conclusion is double. If the honest substance of things is to govern, our man abroad should be received on an equality with representatives of other first powers of the world. If the jugglery of titles is to rule the matter, the sooner our fellows over there are called ambassadors the better. It must be re- membered that all first-class houses furnish their traveling men with the best cigars money ean buy. oe ee The interview with Secretary Bayard which appeared this morning in the Baltimore Sun is the first temperate statement of facts in regard to the Samoan difficulty that has yet appeared. It answers many criticisms and gives light as to the future of the matter. Mr. Bayard explains the situation well, and it does not appear that so far he has been called upon to advise a declaration of war. By express agreements with Germany and England the United States cannot undertake what the Samoans evidently think is due them, to maintain a protectorate over the islands. In the quarrels between Ma- lietoa and Tamasese this country has refrained from an authoritative interference, not desir- ing to do what our government has insisted that England and Germany should not do. Secretary Bayard used the good offices of this country repeatedly in behalf of Malietoa when the Germans seized him, on the ground that he had violated treaty obligations and made himself an enemy. He was not a citizen of the United States, and this government could not demand his release. The whole trouble, Mr. Bayard states, is due, not to the action of governments, but to the course pursued by the German trading companies. As to the crisis at this time, the interview gives Mr. Bayard’s views plainly: “The whole question for Americans to con- sider, according to Mr. Bayard. is whether we shall continue to maintain neutrality as between Mataafa and the Germans, or assume the role of belligerents toward Germany in behalf of one of the two claimants to the throne. So far, Mr. Bayard says, Germany has given the United States absolutely no cause for war. It is not true thet American property has been wantonly destroyed by the Germans or the American flag fired upon.” The settlement of the question now lies with Congress. Diplomacy has done all that it can. The decision must be made whether or not the United States shall tell Germany that the Samoan autonomy must not be interfered with or the United States will go to war with her over that issue. oo Two grains of trath reveal themselves in the mountain of chaff known as the House proceed- ings of yesterday. One was the remark of Mr. Hemphill, in resisting the seizure of the day for District business. He said every member of the House presumed to know all about Dis- trict matters, while with appropriation bills everybody thought the committee on appropri- ations alone knew all there was to know. The other kernel of verity fell from the lips of Mr. McComas in the debate on schools in Alaska. He said he had observed for years a stndied neglect of Alaska, growing out of the fact that it bad no votes to bestow. The District of Columbia and Alaska, antipodal in civili- zation, are nearly identical in their civil status, “Having no votes to bestow” they are treated with neglect. Is it just that 250,000 American citizens should be made the target of members who rate the intelligence or patriotism of their constituents #0 low as to think they can make little bunkum capital at home by opposing every measure for the improvement and adorument of the national capital? SEE hie As things are going between this country and Germany just now, there is a prospect that the case of the city of Bismarck, Dakota, will furnish another illustragion of the truth of Henry Ward Beecher’s shrew observation that it is never safe to name a child or a town after man until after he has been dead for some time. Sete ‘The movement started by Mr. Geo. W. Childs in favor of Col. Fred. Grant as minister to China under President Harrison has wgeriese-§ | attained considerable impetus, The appoint- ment is strongly endorsed by such men as Morton, Depew, Evarts, Platt, Quay, Cameron, and Blair. The growing tendency of China to permit the introduction into the empire of the inventions of the new world’s civilization, the railroad, the telegraph, the telephone, the banking system, &c., and the im- Portance of American interests there, call for a wise appointment to this position. Gen. Grant on his round-the-world trip established ex- tremely friendly relations with the men who rule China, and the son would doubtless reap the benefit of the father’s popularity. q@q68 oe New York is congested by a general street ear strike. The labor problem is nowhere so vexing as at the handle of a car break. Sn a Senator Kenna has scored a preliminary triumph in receiving a caucus nomination. It secures no probability of election nor pre- eludes possibility of defeat. The situation in the West Virginia legislature is honey-combed with spite and ambition. The acquisitive energy of the Pullman ac- company has made another of its char- acteristic conquests. But one company now stands out against its control. This is the ‘Wagner company on the Vanderbilt lines. The new deal is not a trust. The high-priced sleeping car luxury has never been so much the subject of competition 2s to make a trust Recessary. That was a frenzy of patriotism which caused the Pennsylvania house to pass a bill requiring all schooimasters to fy the @aring school hours, erase. ‘THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, Porrrrmsr Axswoa Srarecxr | Dany “Srocx-raxme Sronz News: WARTS FOURTH WILL BEGIN JAN. 30. ‘THESE SALES ARE WELL KNOWN AND NEED NO COMMENT TO WASHING- ‘TONIANS, TO THOSE RECENTLY COME TO RESIDE HERE, WE WOULD SAY, THAT TWICE A YEAR WE ALITTLE AND SELL ALL WINTER GOODS, ODD SIZES.
