But it would have been neither wise nor diplo- Matic for him to have nudged Mr. Olney With any inquiry on the subject. He could Bot with propriety have asked, “Are you Giving the Senate enough voice in this business?” That was Mr. Olney’s affair. He was engaging to make everything sat- fstactory to his government. Lord Salis- bury did right In leaving that question to ; and in shinnying on his own Ne as a blind instrument to the execu- y reached the Senate, this ture of it was plainest of all. Nor was surprise to jenate. It had ex- Perienced former evidences of Mr. Cleve- and’s contempt for it as a body. He had ored it in the matter of sending a spe ¢ial commissioner to Hawall, for purposes 0f which not only the Senate but the House should have been advised; he had through his premier, in an authorized in- terview, boldly informed it that he would rot heed any action it might take in be- half of Cuba, and now came this third @ffront. The Senate decided to assert it- @elf, and has done so. Tae question now presents itself to those Who favor the principle of arbitration, if the interests of arbitration are to be for- warded must it not be the Senate's plan? Mr. Cleveland's plan cannot prevail. Mr. Cleveland is gone. The Senate remains, and makes {t clea> that it will never con- Bent to be counted out in these great Bffairs of state. Bo that arbitration with- out the Senate is out of the question. Peace has lost nothing by what the Sen- @te has done. The American people desire Peace as much now as at any time, and they desire it and will promote the ends of peace by all honorable means at all times. But an arbitration treaty involves Principles of law as well as of peace, and lawyers in the Senate, as well as out of it, are entitled to a hearing as to all of the provisions of such an instrument. y soe the It is encouraging to the District and to all friends the home-rule principle to ebserve the beginning of active hostilities between two of the North Carolina candi- @ates for the position of local recorder of @eeds. Such a falling out may possibly re- gult in opening the President's eyes to the true inwardness of the situation and to merits of the outside clamorers for ace. It may perhaps prove a case of Kilkenny cats. of soe It is not believed that Bismarck has ever expressea himself with entire freedom on the emperor's efforts to be recognized as a §rand young man. soe Soldier and Peacemaker. No feature of the Grant monument cere- monies in New York this month will be tore weloome or impressive than the pres- @mce in the procession of a number of rominent ex-Oonfederates. They will at- jend by invitation, and both the spirit Which prompted the invitation and that which accepted it are worthy of the warm- ést praise. The country, it is true, needs no addi- tional cseurance that the flag waves again Over a reunited people The South ts loyal @s the North is loyal. The representative gen of both sections stand for their gov- @rnment as against all the world, and in the one quarter as in the other would, if called upon, make every sacrifice for its perpetuity. The memories of the civil war @re now either buried or greatly softened in all patriotic bosoms, and occasions of late years testifying to this have been numerous. But somehow there lingers around the ™emory of the great commander of the Usion armies that which knits the Blue and the Gray together as nothing else does. He had all the qualities which adorn the prefession of arms: courage, persistence, skill and magnanimity. He exercised them all in his high place. He endeared himself, therefore, to both sides, for the true soldier recognizes and salutes superior merit whether engaged on his own or the oppos- ing side. Naturally, however, the Grant of Appo- mattox is the Grant the ex-Confederates revere. They made two surrenders to him there: first of their guns, and then of their hearts. The first he recelved so kindly the second they could not withhold. His first thoughts were for the men after they should have returned to their homes to re- sume the cares of their families and the duties of good citizenship, and his first werds were those of peace and good will. That simple sentence, bidding Lee's ragged veterans take their horses along with them for use in making the spring crop, was the first, as it proved to be the most potent, note heard at the close of hostilities for the Union again, with all of !ts powers restored and its people reunited. Federals as well as Confederates, there- fore, profited by that superb message. It was a proclamation of peace in itself. No man may say how much good it wrought until he has carefully considered how strongly the tide of feeling was running at the time in political circles against the men who had sought to destroy the gov- ernment. But when the first soldier of the age, and the one who had by force of arms put down the rebellion, turned at once and gave his hand thus to the men who had opposed him in the field, the most extreme and the most powerful of the political leaders were put under restraint. It was not possible to override that decision. And so it {s that friend and former foe alike honor General Grant's memory, and will meet at his tomb as brothers pledged anew to the country he saved. —____ > e= —____ A Chance to Give Good Advice. The Spanish government was quick to take the hint General Grant dropped to it through Minister Sickles that decent meth- ods must be adopted in the warfare upon the Cuban insurgents. It was equally alert to catch the spirit of Mr. Cleveland's pol- icy of friendiy inaction In the case of the present rebellion. It was just as prompt to see the difference caused by the change of administration and to treat Americans in Cuba with more consideration than had been shown before Mr. McKinley's inaug- uration. it will doubtless be quite as prompt in recognizing the force of such a hint as that given by Grant, as sug- gested In The Star yesterday, intimating that this government does not approve of atrocities such as have marked the pres- ent struggle as one of the most cruel on reccrd. The Spaniards are not stupid or slow to appreciate a situation, as the rec- ord just briefly cited goes to show. All they need ts a tip from a great power and they are pretty apt to act accordingly if it is given with evidence of earnestness. The time is at hand for such a bit of counsel fuc the President need not fear, as did Senator Hoar yesterday in refusing to ad- vise one of his colleagues, that it would be wasted. ——_~ero_____ King George is obliged to inform the Dowers that circumstances over which he has no control would wholly prevent his taking that chip off his shouider, even were he so disposed. ——~++e—____ Perhaps some of the Senators think that if Mr. Hanna and Mr. Foraker Manage to get along without an arbitration treaty, the rest of the world ought to manage it. ———__~ e+ -—____ There were “two hundred and eight or two hundred and nine” men at work on the city post-office building today, according to the records. 2 ____ A cut in the price of coal is announced.

A Weighty Consideration. “I wish,” said the bookkeeper, discon- tentedly, “that I had taken up a scientific career. I've a great mind to be an astron- omer, yet.” Are you tired of figures?” A little.” “But if you were an astronomer you Would be obliged to make calculations on a scale that you never have to attempt now. You'd have to deal with millions and bil- ‘ions and quadrillions of miles instead of hundreds and thousands of dollars, as you do now.” “That's very true. But I wouldn't be nearly so likely to lose my position if I made a mistake.” A Vivid Description. “Do tell me something about the play,” she said to the young man. “They say that climax at the close of the third act was superb. “Yes, I am inclined to think it was very god.” Can't you describe It to me?" “Why, the heroine came stealthily on thé stage and knelt, dagger in hand, behind a clump of pink ribbons. The hero emerged from a large bunch of purple flowers and as soou as she perceived him she fell upon him, stabbed him twice and sank half con- scious into a very handsome aigrette. This may sound queer, but the lady in front of me didn’t remove her hat, and that’s how tt looked.” De danger "bout complimentin’ er hired man,” said Uncle Eben, “is dat it's liable ter git ‘Im ter puttin’ ‘is mind on de work he's done gone did, ‘stead o° de work dai’s waitin’ ter be tended to.” An Anxto Inquiry. They were reading aloud a column of ad- vice on how to behave. The timid-looking man seemed rather worried as he sai “If it isn’t too much trouble, I wish you would read that sentence again.” “Certainly. ‘It is very bad form for a gentleman to take hold of a lady's arm.’ His jaw dropped and his face looked pro- foundly per sive as he mused: “I wonder if that means not even in seif- defense.” An Office Holder's Experience. Quite embarrassed by his riches, he got letters from each city Congratulating him when he was placed. There were so very many that it really seemed a pity To see so much affection go to waste. He felt especially surprised because he'd been admonished That this world is something cynical and bad; But every sun that set would leave him rather more astonished. As he counted the well-wishers that he had. It took him several months to get his work in running order; The choice of his subordinates took time. But at last the ground was covered from the center to the border; “Now,” said he, “I'll rest ’mid friendships so sublime.”” hands thet shook his firmly, then, seemed suddenly loose-jointed; ‘They who loitered once, of lelsure were bereft.
