As a News and Advertising Medium it as mo competitor. Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of perxonal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the EditorinI or Business Depart- ments, necording to tenor or purpose. Belligerent Rights for the Cabans. Thoz+ who cppose the granting of bellig- erent rights to the Cubans rest their whole cose on the position taken by President Grant years ago. They are unable to get away from the message sent to Congress at time. Sufficient as that message may have been for that day, is it to be accepied as sufficient for this? In President Grant's day the hideousness ef Spanish rule in Cuba did not stand as plainly revealed ay it does now. Some of its features were known, but not all. Spain then insisted that the revolt was withcut justification, and even, went so” far as to pretend to be willing in the interests of peace to make concessiors to those in arms against her. President Grant, who was at first dis- pesed to interfere warmly in benalf of the @ns, was figally influenced by Secretary Fish, representing the commercial interests or New York. to adopt a rigid interpreta- tion of belligerency; and the rebellfon was crushed. Bet did Spain keep her promises? She violated every one of them, and Cula’s cendition became worse than before. The conditions today, therefore. the conditions ef that day. It is p apparent that Spain cannot rule Cuba ox- pt by cruel ferce, for added to the”old uses are mony new abuses and many ken promises. Spain again talks reform, t who belicves her? The people of the United States do not believe her, and the people of Cuba wiil net even listen to her. Why should they? Talk about reform shculd now be supplemented by some overt ect in the direction of reform, and supe seding Generai Cempos with General Wey- ler has no such significance. On the co trary, it fully bears out the charge that Spain, if successful, will repeat her history, and that Cuba’s plight will, if possible, be worse than before—worse than it now is. This is the case the United States is to- day called upon to consider. It would be far from just to decide it merely upon its military aspects. Surely, the character of the men in revolt, their courase and per- terey, and vhat we know of their ex- treme provocation, should influence us quite as much as their number and the extent of the territory they control. Their number nust be highly respectable, or else Spain's army must be the most inefficient on earth; and, if territory is urged, why should the msurgents be required to take the fortified towns any more than that the Spaniard. required to take snd hold the unfort country? If the deliverance of Congress Is to be ignored by the President, it will not be suf- ficient for the executive to intrerch him- self, as the opponents of Cuba in Congress have done, behind 2 message written years ago and to meet a case by no means so strong as is the present one. And President Cleveland's action, Uke President Grant's, will be at once con- strued as having been dictated by the com- ruercial interests of New York. —__ + e = —___ The Best Not Tso Gosd for Washington Opposition to the position taken by the superintendent of street sweeping, favor- able to municipal assumption cf the cleans- ing task now and heretofore in the hands of contractors, must necessarily lose much of its force because Superintendent, Me- Kenzie states plainly that the contractors have done everything that could reasonably be required of them, regard being had for the specifications. Had there been official secusation of carelessness or wilful ne- slect it might then be asserted that it was the contractors and not the contract sys- tem that was being arraigned, but when it is alleged that the contractors are doing their best and fail simply because the methods possible under municipal control are impossible to them there is only a little ground left to maneuver upon. Thorough- fare conditions in Washington are not as they are in other cities. Asphalt surface cleaned, but it is difficult to keep it clean, so there is need for something more than the widely-separated schedule efforts of the contractor. It would be pos- le, of course, with the consent of Con- sress, to so amend the schedule that con- tractors would want twice as much money is now available for street-sweeping it would be much better for hington if the work were done by a well-organized and decently-paid force con- trolled directly and at 111 hours of the day and night by the District Commissioners. The report of Superintendent McKenzie, which was printed in The Star, is worthy the serous consideration of the District's board of aldermen and common council-- the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America, in Con- gress assembled. ————_~++—___ There is no sound reason why anyone should imagine that the republican party is turbed as to the financial plank which must, of course, be in the St. Louis plat- form. The plank of 1892 is good enough for 1896. It is broad enough and long enough and strong enough to suppert every voter in the United States, no matter what his financial belief may happen to be. -——_+ e2___ Discontented peopie who insinuate that Representative John Allen of Misstssippi has not spoken during this session because he is trying to be a real serious statesman have no sense of humor. Private Allen’s silence in the House is his latest and most elaborate joke; and the laugh is on the House. as —_> + > ____ It would be interesting to know whether General Weyler’s more pacific pruciama- tions are expressly prepared by the press censors for the American newspaper mar- cet. — 2 There is a certain satisfaction after all in acknowledging freely and frankly that District politics is considerably less exciting than ihe Keatucky brand. ae : Major McKinley Ther a Gesire to hi come out just as unequiveca!ly on the money question as he does the iaciff. —_ + = The Idiotic “High-Hand Shake.” The Johnny chappies who turn up their trousers when it rains in London, and who, think they are follo est style of royal English good form, doncher- know, In inflicting the “high-hand shake” en everybody they meet must be intensely disgusted to find themselves ridiculed by so righ an authority as the London News for | having adopted “‘a secofd rate freak of British misses and British Johnnies;” pop- ular only among British “brainless third rate smart people.” The quotation from the News has already appeared in The Star but ft conveys such a wholesome re- buke of this ridiculous fashion that it is worth reproducing. The News says: “The new kind of hand shake, ‘in high seconde,” as the language of fencing goes, was, and perhaps is, popular with third- Fate ‘smart people’ whd' had a baronet for @ cousin or an uncle who was a colonel in the army. These brainless beings had prob- ably heard that some prince or princess |’ shook i , in high seconde, perhaps be- use R. H. had hurt his royal arm, or for some Psp blameless theory of the origin of the high crook is a mere conjecture, but surely no less potent cause could have brought the custom of ‘raising the hand above the shoulder.’ Of course, the custom has reached America, ard being totally senseless in its inception, has been im‘tated by the citizens. The sregariousness of human nature, its bovine imitativeness, has been never more oddly iltustrated than by the transatlantic adop- tion of a second-rate freak of British miss- es and British ‘Johnnies.’ The fact illus- trates the old anecdotes of how ruffs were universally worn because a royal person tad a scar on her neck. Westward the course of folly takes its way, for a similar vagary of New York -would not soon de- vastate this island. “The old shake-hand is the only true shake-hand, and it ought to be studied and practiced, in all its delicacies, by the young | man who would succeed in life. He must | know how to be bluff and hearty; how to be caressing and insinuating, yet ‘not too bold,” and he must never be lifeless and in- different, for people resent this attitude. Probably Hazlitt was so much hated be- cause to shake hands with him was like grasping a cold boiled flounder.” ————_-++__ A Suggestive Verdict. Perhaps the courts will assist materially in hastening the coming of that day when there will not remain a single railroad crossing at grade in all the District of Co- lumbit. Yesterday in Judge Cole’s court the timore & Oh‘o Railroad Co. was as- sessed $2,500 because one of its trains caused the death of a man who chanced to be driving over a grade crossing just as the train came along. On behalf of the com- pany it was argued that the engine hell was rung ard the engine whistle was sounded, but the jury decided that even a large and nolsy bell and a loud-: -sounding: whistle could not under the circumstances be classified as safeguards. Crossing-gates and a gateman would have rendered the slaughter improbable if not impossible, and as there were neither gates nor watchman at Ivy City the jury awarded damages to e plaintiff. The full significance of ‘his verdict does net appear until it is noted that Ivy City is without wkat are known as the city limits. If the courts compel the companies to pay heavily for neglected crossings in the sparsely populated suburbs what may they not be expected to do should there be killings on crossings with- in the city? ——_+e— Present Street-Extension. Anything like wholesale street extension will not be possible for scme time to come: ‘certainly not during the present session of Congress. Action by the Senate District Committee today commits that powerful body temporarily to the piecemeal plan of extension. The committee will endeavor to find out where extensions are immediately necessary, and, having satisfied itself on that point, will doubtless do what it can to Squeeze « sufficient appropriation out of the two houses. If Congress will only see to it that extensions which may be authorized are on the approved lines, the people of the Dis- trict will not shed tears at the Senate com- mittee’s conclusion concerning the proper methcds of present street extension. We cannot wait forever on the highway act. When that piece of legislation, with its ac- cempanying bond issue, arrives in im- proved and satisfactory shape, there will be in any event a great abundance of strect extension work apon which it may cperate. —__+ e+ ____ No loyal American doubts that we can | whip any country that might provoke a fight. whether we make preliminary prep- arations for war or not. Yet it is not wise | to forget the case of one John L. Sullivan, who felt so sure he could whip anybody that he save himself little or no concern about his training. ——— « = __+__ The citizens of the District of Columbia did not desire to have their self-respect de- graded by not bearing their proper share of the expenses of the national capital. Neither do they wish the government to be subjected to the danger of a similar humilia- tion. —— So far the ladies of the cabinet have not attempted t> retaliate for the taboo on Licycles by 'miting the amount of iird tackle that a public offi- cial may consume with propriety. ~~ « = A few laborers were engaged this after- roon in clearing away some of the snow and ice from the upper incompleteness of the city post-office building. ——+-+___ Whatever may be the political mischances that befal in the United States, it cannot now be denied that the District of Colum- bia has done its level best. —++-___ Major McKinley possibly does not care Whether a high protective tariff is Pald In silver or gold so long as it is paid. ——- ¢ -—___ SHOOTING STARS. Going Too Far. “No, sir!’ exclaimed Mr. Meekton; “I will not stand it any more. I have rebelled at last." “What's the matter with you?” asked his friend. “My wift has gone too far. I'll stand her wearing bloomers and leaving me at heme to rock the cradle. But when she pats my cheek and tells me that if I'm real good she'll take me out and teach me to ride a bicycle, it’s time to call a halt.” SO oss Ss ss sak 8 “Yoh nebber yet,” said Uncle Eben, “could fin’ er man so stingy dat he ain’ willin’ ter share his loafin’ time wif some- body dat’s really busy.
