Grant and the Spanish Butchers. No measure can be applied to the amount of good sure to flow from the success of the present project to send a Red Cross expe- dition to Cuba to carry succor and com- fort to the sick and wounded part in the dreadful struggle there. The plan, outlined in the news columns of thia issue, is wholly in the hands of the American peo- ple, whose subseriptions are necessary to sive the society its funds for the enterprise. This is a great opportunity, not alone to help humanity in the abstract, but to par- ate almost directly in the Cubaa war, which this nation has from time to time seemed eager to do. The Red Cross work in Cuba will do almost as much to place the insurrection upen an international standing, by introducing the methods of aring for its victims that have the unt- versal sanction of civilized governments, as would the direct recognition by this gov- ment of the struggling insurgents as belligerents. The project has the unquali- fied approval of Gen. Daniel E. Sickles, a turdy warrior, and yet, as the interview with him shows, a gentle enemy. He recog- nizes the fact that while war is cruel it need not be inhumane. Courtesies are pos- antagonists that become al- t as imperative duties when the right ale of measuremen®is applied. But Gen. kles is more than a theorisi in this par- ular matter for he was minister to Spain during a portion of Cuba's former struggle for liberty and he delivered to the govern- ment at Madrid a significant message from President Grant, who was himself one of the Kindliest of foes. Gen. Sickles speaks with the detestation of a humane soldier of the atrocities of Spanish warfave in Cuba, the butchering of women and chil- dren and the assaults upon nospitels filled He continues: in its last Cuban positive stand taken by the Gen. Grant simply sald that ba would hav to be carried in some other method, or the United tes would interfere, and he told me to 39 inform the Spanisn gevernment. That is just what we should do again.” Presi <inley knows by close ex- perien hardships of war. Like Grant and Sic he has seen and felt the bit- tern e strife, the need of humane treatment of the victims and the horrors that flow from a neglect of the provisions for their care and comfort. He succeeds to an unmistakable opportunity that was clearly disregarded by Mr. Cleve- land, who by his failure to insist, as did Grant, that Spain cease her atrocities vir- tually aided in making the Cuban rebellion an offense to all humanity. Mr. Cleveland's omission makes Mr. McKinley's duty in the premises all the plainer. The suecess of Generali Grant's protest established a precedent that cannot be discounted. The necessity for such intervention exists today as strongly as it did upwards of twenty-live years ago. It was then prompted by the demand of the nation, which now feels that its patience under the Iong-continued policy of a partisan neutrality has been exhausted and will probably speak in plain tones in the form of generous contributions to the Red Cross fund. The President could per- haps avoid much of the necessity for such an enterprise as that now proposed by at once to the American minister at Madrid instructions similar to those sent to General Sickles by Grant. -- +202 “Old Tronsides. the cabl It is unfortunate that Congress did not specify definitely the future resting place of the old frigate Constitution when the provision for her rehabilitation was in- ed In the navel appropriation bill. It is r that Washington is the most appro- home ef the famous vessel and even New Englanders, who have an intense local pride in her, acknowledge this to be true and petitioned at the last session for her permanent removal to this city.

He ts now urg- ing the offictals of the Navy Department to push the work on the old hulk to prepare her in season for the centennial of her launch- ing in October next.

If Judge Day of Canton. Onto, shail gO to Cuba im any official capacity his mission will awakea widespread interest. The sug- gestion is that he may go as counsel to the American consul general at Havana, for the purpose of assisting in the investigation of the murder of Dr. Ruiz. But tt seems hardly ltkely that only for that purpose the President would select a lawyer from Ohio, when one from Louistana or Florida, where €pantsh law and customs are so well under- stood, would be so easily available. Judge Day is at once a lawyer of high reputation, and the President’s personal friend. It ts understood that the Preatdent Places great confidence in both his judg- ment and ability, and at one time Judge Dey's name was mentioned in the specule- tion about the attorney generaishtp. His friends speak of him as fully qualtfied for Cuties of the first importance. For this rea- fon his departure for Cuba at any early time would probably be entitled to the in- terest that would attach to it. It would immediately suggest a move of consequence on the board about Cuba beyond the range of a legal inquiry into a criminal case. Could not this government, under the new end improved order of things at home, come pprertneny at atyege den af oa iis influence for peace in should not that tolerate any interference with her sover- eignty on the island, even to the extent of &@ suggestion as to its government. Spain was represented as being on heir-trigger about Cuba, and war, ft was insisted, would inevitably follows any overtures, even for peace, from this country. It has now been demonstrated that this sort of talk indulged in by the Cleveland People was the merest humbug. Spain, al- though nearly bankrupt and almost desper- ate, still knows a thing or two. She has quickly noted the fact that new men are on ceck over here, and she speedily accommo- dates herself to the situation. America is at no discount in Cuba today. Her citizens are not hounded any longer, nor do they fill the cells of unhealthy jails any longer. Spain's attitude toward this country, in- Geed, suggests anything but the hair-trig- ger condition, but much that warrants be- lief that good offices properly extended by this government would result in good to Spain, freedom for Cuba, and the reward of honorable peacemaking for the United States. —____o +e —____ Passing of the Herdics. ‘the winding up of the affairs of the her- dic company removes, at least temporarily, a reminder of old times from the streets of Washington. These heavy, uncomfost- able vehicles are relics of the past, out of harmery with the present developments | talue—f in the line of urban transit methods and i_Hematt the race for favor and pa- months they have been by reason of, a reduction of the fare, but even this device could not stem the tide of travel toward the cable and electric cars. The people have grown accustomed to being rushed along; they have been spoiled, so to speak, by the hurry of ten and twelve-mile rates of speed, saving their precious time and thus adding to their opportunities for business. Slow ccaches have fallen into disfavor and even the saving of one and a sixth cents per trip that they afforded could not re- Store them to grace. Their going opens the way to a new industry that ought to thrive in such a city as Washington. The Star has already suggested that the smooth streets here would furnish ideal running for motor carriages and ‘busses. such as are now in vogue in London and Paris. Since that mention of the possibilities it has been announced that a number of mo- tor cabs, fashioned like hansoms, have been rut in service in New York city and have begun by attracting considerable patronage. New York's street surfacs, however, as a rule are rough and it is fair to presume that the success achieved in the metropolis tn such an en- terprise could, in due proportion, be far exceeded here. The advantages of the mo- tor wagons, cabs and carry-alls are ob- vious. In addition to being swift they are practically noiseless, they are more con- ducive to the comfort of the passengers and they do not wear the street surfaces nearly as badly as do the lumbering coaches that have just ceased to run. This last element should appeal to the taxpay- ers if the old basis on which the herdics were permitted to run were maintained in the event of their revival. This item has been pointedly mentioned of late, and the Commissioners have been urged to ask Congr for the right to tax the omnibus lines with at least half the cost of repair- ing the surfaces of streets occupied by them in their routes. The matter should be borne in mind in regulating any suc- cessor to the retiring company that might enter the field. outstripped In tronage.

Hundreds of novel and appropriate gift things for Easter—and they are very moderately priced. It floor. is = Friday’s Our Remnant Day, |3 Special Bargain Day. The plans of this store are the result of most careful thought and de- liberation. A fixed purpose, closely followed, strictly adhered to, per- vades every department. This purpose is to offer five days of each week complete assortments of absolutely fresh, bright, up-to-date merchandise at the lowest prices, reserving one day, Friday, for the clearance of rem- nants—broken lines and sizes, odds and ends, short lengths, left overs. And these left-overs are ofttimes from the choicest goofls of the various lines—the quickest sellers. It isn’t the goodness of the article, however, but its poorness as merchandise (because of littleness or loneliness) that regulates the price. Shorter the length, smaller the quantity—greater the price reduction. Remnants (the les itimate sorts, not those made for the occasion) ac- cumulate very rapidly here, and our policy forbids us to push them aside or pile them up. Hence to make the quickest possible clearance prices are made half and less. To make Friday, our Bargain Day. interesting as possible, we pur- _chase especially for the occasion, and offer for less than usual prices, such goods as we deem worth your buying.
