Belligerent Rights for the Cubans. ‘Thoss who cppose the granting of belliz- erent rights to the Cubans rest their whole cese on the position taken by President Grant years ago. They are unable to get away from the message sent to Congress at t time. Sufficient as that message may ave been for that day, is it to be accepted as sufficiont for this? In President Grant's day the hideor of Spanish rule in Cuba did not stand as plainly revesled as it does now. Some of its features were known, but not ail. 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- posed to interfere warmly in benalf of the Cutans, wa@fnally influenced by Secretary Fish, representing the commercial interests or New York. to adopt a rigid interpreta- tien of belligerency; and the rebellion 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. are not the conditions ef that day. It is perfectly apparent that Spain cannot rule Cuba ex- cept by cruel ferce, for added to the old buses are meny new abuses and masy orcken promises. Spain again talks reform, lut who believes her? The people of the United States do not believe her, and the trople of Cuba will not even listen to her. Why should they? Talk about reform shculd now be supplemented by some overt ect in the direction of reform, and super- seding General Cempos with General Wey- ler has no such significance. On the coa- 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 courage and per- tercy, and hat 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; nd, if territory is urged, why should the isurgents be required to take the ‘ortified towns any more than that the Spaniards 1 required to take snd hold the unfortitied country? 2 If the deliverance of Congress is to he isnored by the President, it will not be suf- ficient for the executive to intrerch hii self, as the opponents of Cuba in Congress have done, behind a messege written years ago and to meet a case by no means so strong as is the peesent one. And President Cleveland’ action, like President rant’s, wili be at once con- strued as having been dictated by the com- mercial interests of New York. ness SS ee The Best Not Tso Good for Washington Oppesition to the position taken by the superintendent of strest sweeping, favor- able to municipal assumption ef the cleans- infg 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 cations. Had there been official :ecvsation of carelessness or wilful ne- glect it might thea 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’ unde 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 is easily 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- sible, of course, with the consent of Con- sress, to so amend the schedule that con- tractors would want twice as much money as is now available for street-sweeping purposes, but it would be much better for Washington if the work were done by a well-organized and decently-paid @orce con- trolled directly and at all hours of the day ard night by the District Commissioners. The report of Superintendent MeKenzie, which was printed in The Star, is worthy the serious 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. —— +2 ____ There is no sound reason why anyone should imagine that the republican party is disturbed as to the’ financial plank which must, of course, be in the St. Louis plat- form. The plank of 1892 is good enough for i186. It fs broad enough and Jong enough and strong encugh to suppert every voter in the United States, no matter what his Discontented people who insinuate that Representative John Allen of Mississippi 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. ——_ e+ __ It would be interesting to know whether General Weyler’s more pacific pruclama- tions are expressly prepared by the press censors for the American newspaper mar- ket. ee There is a certain satisfaction after all in acknowledging freely and frankly that District politics is considéfably less exciting than the Keatucky brand. i ‘There is a desire to have Major McKinley come out just as unequivecally on the money question as he does on the tariff. ——_— +e The Idiotic “High-Hand Shake.” The Johnny chappies who turn up their trousers when it rains in London, and who think they are following the highest style of royal English good form, doncher- know, in inflicting the “high-hand shake” on everybody they meet must be intensely disgusted to find themselves ridiculed by so righ an authority as the London News for having adopted “a second rate freak of British misses and Brit'sh Johnnies;” pop- ular only among British “brainless third rate smart people.” The quotation from the News has already appeared in The Star. but it 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 of fe goes, was, and perhaps is, ular with third- rate ‘smart people’ wh 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 skook hands, in high seconde, perhaps be- cause H. R. H. had hurt his royal arm, or for some such blameless reason. This theory of the origin of the high crook is a mere conjecture, but surely no less potent cause could have brought in 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 naiure, its bovine imitativeness, has been never more oddly illustrated than by the transatlantic adop- tion of a second-rate freak of Britjsh miss- es and British ‘Johnnies.’ The fact illus- trates the old anecdotes of how ruffs were universally worn because a royal person rad 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 he 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 ass!st 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 Baltimore & Ohio 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 Jell was rung and the engine whistle was sounded, but the jury decided that even a large and noisy 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 'y the jury awarded damages to The full significance of this verdict does not appear until it is noted that Ivy City is without what 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+ resent Street-Extension, Anything like wholesale street extension will not be possible for seme time to come; certainly not during the present sess'on 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, aad, having satisfied itself on ‘at point, will doubtless do what it can to jueeze « sufficier: 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 fot shed tears at the Senate com- mittee’s conclusion concerning the proper mietheds of present stree: extension. We carmot wait forever on the highway ac: When that plece 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 str. extension work upon 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 !s 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. —_—_—+e.___ The citizens of the District of Columbia did uot desire to have their self-respect de- graded by ngt 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. —_~+e>___ So far the ladies of the cabinet have not attempted t> retaliate for the taboo on bicycles by ‘imiting the amount of iird shot and fishing tackle that a public offi-! cial may consume with propriety. | ————+ +s —___ A few laborers were engaged this after- roon in clearing away some of the snow and ice from the upper incompleteness of the ciiy post-office building. — + e+__ ~ Whatever may be the political m'schances that befal in the United States, it cannot now be denied that the District of Colum- bia has dene its level best. ——_+ += ____ : Major McKinley possibly does not care whether a high protective tariff is paid in silver or gold so long as it is paid. —______ e+ SHOOTING STARS. Going Too Far. exclaimed Mr. Meekton; “I will and it any more. I have rebelled at “What's the matter with you?” asked his friend. “Sly wife 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 teacn me to ride a bicycle, it's time to call a halt.” “Yoh nebber yet,” @aid Uncle Eben, ‘ould fin’ er man so stingy dat he ain’ willin’ ter share his loafin’ time wif some- body dat’s realiy busy.” The pen is mightier than the sword, But don’t forget, my son, That 1a Kentucky, of them all, The mightiest is the gun. sig ‘ Disappointed. “Hezekiar,” said Farmer Stackins to his sen, whom he was visitiag, “how be ye gett'n’ ‘long with this college eddication?” “First rate, father. re ye a good foot ball player?” jo. I devote all my attention to my studies.” “An’ ye don’t play base ball?” Nor row a boat?" “No.” “Well, I ‘spose it’s all rignt.

He was from the eastern shore of Mary-{ land, and he spoke feelingly of his home and its surroundings. “Loox at the Chesapeake bay, suh,” he exclaimed. “Theh’s a body of watah foh you. Famed in history and celebrated in aht, it smiles upon the multitude from the silent canvas, and speaks to the world from the printed page.” “Yes; it is very interesting. What, in your opinion, is the most remarkabie thing about the Chesapeake bay?” “The most remahkable thing about the Chesapeake bay?" he repeated, reflectively. “Well, suh, to my mind, the most remahk- able thing about the Chesapeake bay is the fact that the’h ahe any ducks left in it.” Explained by a Bicycle Girl.
