THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than three times as large as that of raing or eve! z- tom. As a News and Advertising Medium it has ne competitor. [vin order to avoid delays, on ac- absence, letters to \dressead to any individual connected with the office, simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, accerding to tenor or purpose. A Conservative Message. The President's message is conservative, dignified, and utterly devoid of sensational features. A calmer treatment of the na- tional situation could not well have been presented, in regerd to either of the two mcst important features of the documen: the review of the Cuban question and the references to the financial situation. Being Mr. Cleveland's last report it has been ex- pected in some quarters that he would teke the opportunity to treat Congress and the country to one of those surprises in which he has from time to time during his presidential career indulged. The surprise this year takes the form of a lack of that unusualness which the people seem to have ecme to expect. soe Mr. Cleveland on Cuba. ‘There is an evident desire on the part of the President in his treatment of the Cuban question in his annual message to avoid making any statements or intima- tions that might arouse the anger of the government of Spain. The conservative tone that characterizes that entire docu- ment is strongly marked in this chapter, but the President's utterances on the sub- ject are not devoid of a promise to inter- vene at some time to put an end to the devastating insurrection, which, as he points out, is ruining the vaiue of the is- land as a colony. Briefly, Mr. Cleveland argues that direct intervention at the pres- ent time or recognition of belligerency or independence would not be justified. He furnishes the customary news item of his messages by stating that this government has interested itself in the struggle to the exient of offering its good offices to secure for the insurgents a satisfactory measure of home rule, but, realizing that the Cubans are suspicious of Spain's promises, that the Spaniards refuse to treat with Cubans save on the condition of an the absolute surrender before autonomy is con- cedei, the United States has intimated that if such a measure of home rule as would be satisfactory to Cuba were offered, the United States would endeavor to find a way, not objectionable to Spain, of furnish- ing to the Cubans a guaranty that Spain would execute the promised reforms. The sident points out, as well, that this offer of mediation has not been either accepted or rejected by Spain, and he intimates that there a possibility of a rupture of the now peaceful relations between the two governments if Spain both neglects this proposition and fails to end the struggle speedily. Thus in effect the position of this government is that, having made a prac- tical offer that takes Spain at its word in its alleged desire to give the Cubans rea- sonable autonomy, the natural limit to national patience will soon be reached, and “that our obligations to the sovereignty of Spain may be superceded by higher obliga- tions which we can hardly hesitate to recognize and discharge.” Therefore the message contains the possibilities of action. It recognizes the rights of Spain in the premises, but shows that the commercial , and political interests of this nation will not permit an indefinite prolongation of othe bicody; devastating war that now rages 0 close’ to these “Sfiores. There is nothing in the message greatly to offend Spain or to excite the Cubans to unwise ebullitions of enthusiasm. It serves notice on Europe that while the United States will not ac- tively intervene under existing circum- it will not tolerate the entry into the situation of any other power. ——— Revenue Legislation. The President's defense of the Wilson tariff bill as a ggtisfactory revenue meas- ure was perhaps to have been anticipated. ‘There is no suggestion anywhere in the message of the need of more revenue, and Mr. Cleveland places stress, as he did last Winter, upon the necessity for the retire- ment of all currency obligations on which gold may be demanded. To this end he Suggests first their firal redemption by means of an issue of long term, low inter- est bonds, or failing that remedy he ad- vocates that there be no reissue after their cancellation. Therefore the same situation is presented as the President developed in ie messages a year ago—a repudiation of the idea of insufficient revenue, a rejection of any suggestion of new tariff legisiation, a. a concentration cf attention on the greerbacks a: root of all financial evil. a The appointment of Mr. Charles J. Bell @s chairman of the inaugural committee will be pleasing to all good Washington- jars. H> is thoroughly fitted in executive ability, in wide local acquaintance, and as a representative business man to fill the place. The people of the capital heartily erdorse him, and under his efficient leader- ship will make the coming inauguration notable among the most impressive and conspicuously successful of the whole long line of such ¢ es The Washington Board of Trade is com- ing to the front these days. When its president declined the chairmanship of the inaugural committee the choice naturally fetl upon one of its vice-presidents. ——_ «+ -_____ In referring to the “feverish appreher- sion™ of the political contest as something of the past Mr. Cleveland ignores the fact that Senator Jones’ pulse is still somewhat high SSeS eS People Why predict that this wlll be a quiet winter,” polifically, In.

An association of New York bankers met in that city Saturday last, and, after dis- posing of the association's regular busi- ness, entered into discussion of the political problems of the day. Present and par- ticipating were ex-Secretary of the Treas- ury Fairchild, ex-Controller of the Cur- rency Trenholm, and William B. Horn- blower, Mr. Cleveland’s first choice for the vacancy on the Supreme Court occasioned by the death of Mr. Justice Jackson. Mr. Hornblower in his remarks said: “There is great danger that the party in power may go too far, especially in pater- nalism and jingoism. "I have as much pa- m as amy man. Democrats have shown their patriotism by voting against their party. But when you talk of annex- ing semi-civilized or uncivilized states, jin- goism goes too far. We have admitted half baked states, and we have reaped the Yeward. Much of our trouble is due to that. We have given Idaho, Utah, Wyo- ming and Montana the same influence in the Senate as New York, Massachusetts, ~ Pennsylvania and Illinois. Are we to add Cuba and Hawaii? Under the fifteenth amendment every ignorant negro in Cuba and all the Hawaiians, who were uncivil- ized a generation ago, will have a vote. The fight will be against this excess on the re- ‘who must make the fight.” Here we have the feeble note of the previncial—and the only note which the. enemies of Cuba and Hawail seem capable of sounding. No miracle is sought to be attempted in the case of elther of those countries. But because there are negroes in the one and Kanakas in the other is no reason why those countries should be denied recognition on their real merits. | There are lawyers in both Cuba and Ha- waii the equal in education and ability of Mr. Hornblower, and bankers and business men with excellent credit as far away from home as New York. Are they, and thou- sands of others like them, entitled to no consideration in the question at issue? Neither Cuba nor Hawaii would expect to become New York's rival as a factor in the American Union twenty-four hours after annexation. Both understand the processes of advancement in this Union, and both would come in upon common sense and practical terms, involving no hardships to them nor any perils to ut The reference to “half-baked states” is ungracious, and injurious only to Mr. Hornblower. Regardless of how the new- ly-made states voted last month, no man of national breadth of view regrets their presence as states in the Union. They were admitted on their merits, and with regard only to constitutional requirements. And it was the republican party, by the way, that brought them into the Union, and not the democratic party, of wigich Mr. Hornblower is a member. The re- publican party, although its proteges op- posed its presidential candidate, has ex- pressed no regret for conferring statehood on them, and therein shows a higher and more patriotic spirit than Mr. Hornblower. There are some people in New York who are unable to understand why their state is ynpepular in the west. Let them con- sider Mr. Hornblower and those who agré with him, and find the reason. The cack!e about “half-baked states” ought to cease. All the states In this Union (except Ne- vada) are well done. —____» = —_____ On the Right Tack. Secretary Herbert has earned the thanks of all Washingtonians for his strong recom- mendation, contained in his annual report, for the improvement of the Anacostia river, which he shows to be the cause of unusual Prevalence of malarial diseases among the officers and men of the Navy and Marine Corps stationed at the Navy Yard and the | barracks. Several weeks ago The Star called attention to the fact that much good might be done by an official endorse- ment by the head of the navy of the project to reclaim the flats, for it was realized that Congress would look first to the heads of the departments most interested before giving heed to the claims of citizens whose interests and health were seriously jeopar- ized. The secretary has responded to the demands of the situation in an admirable manner. He shows conclusively the bad effects upon the health of the navy of the miasmatic influences that surround one of the most important parts of its organiza- tion and he earnestly recommends the miat- ter to the attention of Congress as being of the first importance. This action, taken in connection with the recent meeting of citizens of the eastern part of the city, and the active interest of the Board of Trade, should produce results in the form of a Hberal appropriation. —o+oe—____ No suggestion of a perfunctory or reluc- tant performance attaches to the proffer of the inaugural committee chairmanship by Mr. Hanna to Mr. Woodward. It was ten- dered sincerely in complimentary terms and its acceptance was warmly urged. The idea of utilizing th's occasion to honor con- spicuously the gold democrats, which origi- nated in the national committee, was thor- oughly acceptable from the very first to the head of that committee and to other bowers that be. Mr. Woodward's personal disinclination, based on business considera- tions, and strengthened ‘by the feeling that the consc:ousness of duty well done was the} gold democrat’s only fitting reward, has compelled a declination of the office, and has caused the national committee's pro- posed inaugural honor to the gold democ- Tacy, to become one of expressed will rather than perfected deed. ———--___ The President’s message indirectly gives to Spain the warning which The Star re- ported to have been given by this gov- ernment. There is an alternative, iwwever, to the necessity of speedily conquering the insurgeats, which is found in the accept- ance of the mediation of the United States and resulting autonomy for Cuba guaran- teed by this republic. The message justifies the belief that Spain has be2n notified of the importance and necessity of doing cne thing or the other, and that very quick. —____«-+ «—____ In the indignation aroused by the con- duct of the Sultan it seems to escape at- tention that Christians are being butch- ered in Cuba.
