Ax a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. C7In order to avo' de! count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the THE STAR, or to The people of Cumberland, Md., have ar- rived at the conclusion that they reed a filtration system to make their drinking water more pure and they have sent a commisston to Philadelphia to examine into means and methods. Incidentally it might be said that no better place than Phila- delphia could be selected for such a pur- pose, for of all American cities it needs filtration most urgently, S$ water supply heing confessedly too bad for further en- durance, and the munteipality has already voted to expend a fortune in the establish- ment of a filtration plant. So it is to be expected that Cumberland will learn some- thing to her advantage applying Philadelphia. Washingtonians are special- ly interested in whatever Cumberland does in the way of striving for modern muni pal conditions. But it is not filtration that ts required at Cumberland, from the Wash- ington point of v but less pollution of the wa as it pas: that city. Cumber- land today represents the gravest danger to the health of the District and all other communities that derive ir water sup- by ply from the lower Potomac. Its sewage and wastes are permitted to flow un- hindered and untreated into the stream, to pollute it and to cause to wonder whether the not impure, after all. The possibilities for the spread of disease are ever present as jong as the cities above here insist upon continuing the unwholesom> custom of di: posing of sewage by allowing it to dispos of itself. It is to be admitted that Wash- ington does the same thing, but there is no community below here that depends upon the river for drinking water, the Alexandrians taking theirs from Cameron Run back in the hills. As far as the public health is concerned the present sewerag system of the capital is not harmful, ho ever unprogressive and disagreeable It may be in the abstract. But Cumberland owes a duty to the capital city that cannot be long overlooked and the step towards fil- tration just taken is a sign that better times may be coming up the river. These rises need encouragement, and to the nd that there may be no halt in the on- ward march of improvement up-riyer all Washington will doubtiess hope fervently from now on that the present filtration plans of the Cumberland folks will prove ssful. If then they do not turn their attention to the establishment of methods to prevent the pollution of the river by their own wastes it may be that Congress will have to step in with a law that will force action. This subject of the inter-re- &p vility of cities located on the same water course must soon be taken up by the national legislature or by the states and some means of regulation devised. e bacteriologists Potomac water is Succ ——_ e+ The Kaiser's Birthday.

Hawaiian question will not down. rowd upon each other tn a con- to foree the subject upon public attention. The ex-queen has ed to this end by her presence in ington during the winter and by the sus statements that have been issued her “court” to mystify the people as r real purpose in remaining here. The ter of Japanese immigration in Hawali now holds the popular interest, gh The Star's correspondence from lulu and the news reports from the > place, which have been explained and zed by ex-Minister Thurston and com- ted upon by the coursellor of the Jap- se legation here. A controversy has rien between these two as to the part T fow T cy official ribu con We me pleved by the government of Japan in the ray i mongolization of the islands. From th latest statements it is plain that the sitvation with regard to the prospects of Japan's influence in the future in Hawaii is such as to call for prompt consideration by this government as to the course it Is to pursue teward Hawaii. One of the most significant facts in connection with the caz> is that the friends of royalty in the isloods, former supporters of the dynasty an! advocates of a restoration of Lilluoka- lani, are joining the ranks of the annexa- tionists. It is said that they see the fast- approaching oriental wave that cannot but overwhelm them along with the rest of the native and the American-born popu- ion unless stayed by a marked political ange and that between Japan and the ied States as a dominant, governing power, they readily choose the latter. It is fast becoming a certainty that if Hawaii is not annexed by the United States it will be taken, either by conquest by annexa- tion or by assimilation, by some other power. Japan and England stand ready to take advantage of the situation. The islands are valuable for their own resources, as well as for their geographical and political importance. They are today the key to the Pacific, and their importance will be increased when @ canal is cut through the mus, swelling the tide of commerce that crosses the great ocean. The nation that owns or controls this group, then, will have a@ great advantage in the Pacific, and shovid it be another country than this the western shores of the United States will not be safe from attack. The American people and policy are opposed to territorial extersion and conquest, but they are jeal- ous of the other powers of the earth that seem to seek to draw the lines more closely around the republic. With Canada on the north, Bermuda on the east and Hawaii on the west Great Britain would have a tre- mendous advantage over this country which could not be offset by thousands of men and hundreds of warships. It is, there- fore, a matter of self-defense rather than of expansion that Hes at the bettom of the Hawaiian question as it is “ow pre- sented. —___-+ ¢-» _______ A Complicated Case. President McKinley will surely become embarrassed if any more of these “dead sure” recorders of deeds for the District turn up. Early in the campaign for offices one developed in the person of Mr. W. Powhatan Crump of West Virginia. He was succeeded in tie role by Mr. John C. Dancey of North Carolina, who simoly couldn't be beaten. Now comes Mr. W. H. Ridley of Media, Pennsylvania, who is absolutely assured of the place by the retirement of Mr. Raymond of Altoona, Pennsylvania, who has been such a very dark horse heretofore that he had not been heard of at this end of the line, until Mr. Ridley modestly acknowledged him as his only dangerous competitor. The Presi- dent no doubt expected a certain amount of conflict between the claims of rivals for effice, and perhaps he braced himself to withstand much pressure that consid- ered itself absolutely irresistable. But when it comes to distributing the single office of recorder of deeds of the Dis- trict of Columbia between at least three aspirants from different states who can- not be defeated his diplomacy and his sa- sacity will be sorely taxed. He will need the wisdom of a Solomon in handling the situation. The case fs rapidly becoming quite as complicated as that of Richard Ill, who said: “I have set my life upon a cast, And I will stand the hazard of the die. I think there be six Richmonds in the field.” —~>+o A Great Dehate. There hegins today in the House of Rep- resentatives a debate that Is destined to become nistorical. The passage of the tariff bill at ils close is a foregone con- clusion, so that interest centers upon the speeches that will be delivered for and against the schedules of rates contained in the measure. The various policies cham- picned will be well worth studying. The high protectionist will urge his theory of tariff taxation; the moderate protec- tionist will present his reasons for lower rates; the tariff-for-revenue man will come forth with statistics and theories; the advocate of revenue tariff with incidental protection will be equaily in evidence; the low tariff legislator will be heard in his own behalf, and the free trader will doubt- less den.and a hearing and secure it. But in the midst of all this talk the great central fact will remain, that whatever the House may do or say, the Senate will amend the measure to sult itself, and that the bill sent over to the north end of the Capitol a few days hence will serve as a mere groundwork for the labors of that branch of the legislature. Indeed, it is significant that work has already begun on the alterations, it being taken for grant- ed that the debate that commenced today will not serve to bring about any material change in the measure. It is to be ex- pected that some excellent speeches will be made, for the House will be talking to the country and not to itself, and the country has proved itself a severe critic and hard to satisfy. There is a singular and unusual modesty in the manner in which the German Em- peror goes back in history so far as to hold up his father’s career as an example to the soldiers. ——_~ ee —____ To Mr. Bliss belongs the distinction of having scored the first resignation rumor of the administration. — «2 —_____ As was to be feared, Crete managed to heep a few side-doors open yesterday. pili Se A ING STARS.
