The situation in the valley has grown materially graver since then, and now widespread destitution exists. The Pres t has put himseif in communica- tion by wire with the local authorities, and, as the result of the information he has ob- tained, he teday recommended to Congress the appropriation of a liberal sum of money by that body in the immediate care of the ‘That Congress would promptly respond in premises so meritorious was reasonably cer- tain. It would have been strange, indeed, if it did not. Those in whose behalf aid was sought have not only been driven from their homes and despoiled of property, but the prosp are poor for them to make a crop tt year. Their lands are covered with water, and a flood so enormous will be slow In running out. It will be weeks, therefore, before the ground anywhere in the flooded territory will be in condition to be worked. The season is well advanced im the south now, and every week's delay in the matter of farm labor is most expen- sive. All of this will doubtless be taken into consideration in making provision for those whose distresses are to be relieved. There have been protests now and then against the appropriation by Congress of money in such emergencies. They have grown out of what is calied “a strict con- struction” of the Constftution. They have likewise been accompanied by some fine phrase-making on the part of their authors, and by a course of reasoning which set the whole question of human brotherhood completely aside. One might suppose that the people of the United States in prepar- ing their Constitution had: put themselves into a straight jacket for fear of injuring themselves. “The letter killeth.” The Constitution is @ production of human beings for the ben- efit of human beings. Any construction of it which would make the people through their representatives in Congress power- less to contribute material aid to any sec- tion in time of such peril and need as now exists in the Mississippi valley would be an abuse of the intention of its authors, how- ever well the reasoning might hold together as an intellectual exercise. The President's action should and will commend him to the country. —____ ++ + —__ The News From Hawaik The details concerning the firm stand re- cently taken by the Hawaiian government to prevent the illegal importation of Jap- anese laborers, as given in the latest let- ter from The Star's correspondent at Hon- olulu, published tant at are highly impor- ehameha” sets h particularity the legal grounds of the repub action, showing that the government realized that a crisis had ar- rived, and that the situation required the most careful treatment. It is significant to note in this connection that the courts at Honolulu, in their desire to adopt an impre; position, sought for guidance from the judgments of American tribunals, and based their finding on a broadly equi- table foundation; the main inspiration of which, however, was the wish to protect, temporarily at least, their own nation from invasion and ultimate colonization by an- other government. But it appears that, notwithstanding the evident justice of the that a certain number of the lacking the requisite qualifi- nould be deported, the Japanese became greatly excited, and in mass meeting adopted resolutions calcu- lated to arouse the riotous and to urge the government at Tokio to make reprisals. There still deeper significance in the correspondent’s announcement that there exists today among some of the native reyalisis an undercurrent favorable to union with the Japanese for the purpose of overthrowing the republic and restoring the monarchy. Their plots and counter- pilots may not amount to enough to war- rant the government in adopting vigorous measures of repression, but they can not but add to the embarrassments of the republic and aid the Japanese in their all too evident to secure an upper hand in the This letter demands serious attention. Read in connection with the recently delivered lecture by Ex-Sec- retary Foster on Hawaii—which has been made a Senate document for the informa- tion of Congress—it becomes a plain warn- ing that the time for action by this govern- ment has arrive today this time. “ natle a Certain women of cago have petitioned the mayor that th me of “Kissem” street be changed to some less suggestive title. A New York police justice has fined a fireman who had no time off for courting $ for kissing his sweetheart in the public streets. Couldn't that name and that justice be transferred? It might balance things up better. soe There is no doubt that W. J. Bryan's present status and prospects are better than they would have been had he never received the nominaiion which led to his defeat. It pays to advertise. ————+ee—___ ‘The Dingley Bill in the Senate. ‘The length of time the Senate gives to the Dirgley bill is a matter of moment to the country. This, of course, cannot be fixed at present. The measure is now un- dergoing review in committee, and then will come the debate in the ccmmittee of the whole. The Senate jas its privileges, and will exercise them; its own methods of Procedure, and, as usual, will follow them. It is stated, however, that no tactics of delay will be employed by the opposition, and it ts to be hoped that nothing may oceur during the debate to change this altogether meritorious purpose. The argument, come time advarced, that last fall's fight was not won on the tariff question is more ir genious than convincing. There was more shouting over silver, but the tariff. as a matter of fact, was always prominent in the discussions. Had there been a deliberate effort made, the tariff issue could not have been suberdinated. ‘The republican party, through both its platform and its candidate, stood too con- spicuovsly for protection for such an effort to have succeeded. But no such effort was made. The leading -republican speakers all talked protection, and Mr. McKinley crowned all of their utterances and his own with the epigram, that what the coun- try both needed and desired was that the mills, not the mints, should be opened. Mr. Bryan himself testified to the felicity of that phrase, by pronouncing it the most effective thing said on the republican side during the campaign. So that the fight ‘was won very largely on the tariff ques- tton, and the very prompt reporting of a protection measure by the ways and means committee of the House was etrictly in| line with the purport of the November instructions recorded at the polls. As to the bill in detail, there must be, in the nature of things, differences of opin- jon even among the republicans themselves. It is a very difficult thing to revise the tariff at any time, and it must have proved an unusually difficult thing at this time. The Wilson bill is obnoxious to the repub- licans on two grounds: (1) it has protec- tion filogically ard unequally scattered all through it, and @) it is a failure as a revenue producer. Mr. Dingley and his lieutenants therefore had both of those defects to bear in mind and to remedy. But they are competent men, and Mr. Dingley in particular is an unusually full and sagacious man. His qualifications for revising the schedules and preparing a revenue measure are easily the equal of those of any man who has done similar work in Congress in this generation. Upon the whole. the measure which the House has sent to the Senate is a sound protection measure. That it will be changed by tke Senate in some particulars is likely. But prompt action is desired by the country, and prompt action ought to be taken. The country has decided to open its mills, but this cannot be done until the measure under which so many mills must operate has been put into final form. To open them earlier wouid be a risk which business men do not care to take. The action of the House was prompt and praiseworthy. Mr. Bailey, the democratic leader, advised against obstruction, and :Ithough there was some irrelevant dis- cussion he did not engage in it. Is it too much to hope that the democratic leader- ship in the Senate will give similar advice in that body? The responsibility for the bill is with the republicens, and they should be permitted to assume it at as early a day as possible. —__+ + --____ The developments in Greece and Crete are watched by no one more keenly than by King Christian of Denmark, father of the Grecian monarch. He will be seventy- nine years old tomorrow and despite his age he takes the liveliest interest in inter- national effairs, especially those that con- cern his son.

Either Will Do. “It is always a good idea,” said the man- ager of the pugilist actor, “to delay getting your show printing done, if there is a fight in prospect.” “I don’t see what difference that could make.” “You can’t be sure whether to advertise him as the man who had the honor of de- feating his antagonist or who enjoys the distinction of having been defeated by so famous a man.” Tardy.

A Guilty Conscience. “I was quite at a loss,” said Mr. Storm- ington Barnes, “to understand why, when I pointed my finger into space and sald ‘the counterfeit presentment of a man,’ a man got up and ieft precipitately.”” “I guess,” exclaimed the treasurer, “that he must have been the man who did it.” “Did what?” “Came in on a lead quarter.” The Common Impulse. “Of course,” said the importer, “perfec- tion is beyond the bounds of human ex- pectation.” “To be sure,” replied the statesman. “It is unreasonable to look for a tariff that will be absolutely flawless.” “Wholly unreasonable.”” “And so long as there must be defects—” “Yes.” “I thought that I might as well do what I could to have them benefit me instead of somebody else.” An Opinion. “Excuse me,” said Farmer Corntossel to the clerk, “but would you mind tellin’ me what them is?” “Zhey are pajamas. ‘What are they fur?” ‘To wear when you have retired.”” “Well, ideas does differ.

The skies are all forbidding And the east wind rudely flouts; They say that Spring is coming But some people have their doubts.
