Now that the stigma- tization in effect has been withdrawn from him, should it not also be withdrawn from his command? Is not the humblest of his followers entitled to share in what has now, even reluctantly, been accorded to him. The same reasoning applies to all ingur- gents in arms In the island. They are op- erating as General Riviera operated. They are fighting for the independence of Cuba, and, if not with as good weapons as their opponents possess, and if according to tac- tics of thelr own, no reproach of banditti is justly to be laid at their doors.

It ts no longer for her to excuse butchery and ‘ burning of property on the score of dealing with people beyond the pale of human f rights. General Riviera is no bandit, and she knows it. He has been waging war in warlike fashion against her, and this, un- Ger pressure, she now concedes. As a prisorer he is entitled to the treatment of a soldier, and will receive it. But why should this decision affect Gen- eral Riviera alone? How ean it in fairness or reason be confined to him? If he is a soldier, entitled to a soldier's treatment, is not the same true of every man who has court and wouk is ip i [| possible been riding with him?

More illiterate literature has been con- tributed to the wordy war between two of the North Carolina candidates for the po- sition of District Recorder of Deeds and ap- pears in the news columns of this issue. ‘The Star gives place to this matter as an object lesson showing the kind of men who aspire to hold office here. It should not culy illuminate the whole question of home rule and spoils-seeking but it should fur- nish to President McKiniey additional rea- ons for the settlement of this dispute by the appointment of some good local man for this office which is supported wholly by the money of local property owners. These letters, passing back and forth between the ccndidates, are all based on the impudent sumption that the office belongs to one of them by right. They bring to the sup- Fort of the authors and the abuse of their rivals arguments ard innuendoes that lower the whole affair to the level of a scramble for the position of town crier or coroner in some petty community where factional feeling runs high. The President can not help beirg informed by these notes as to the real character of the contest and its participants, and the logical result of such information, as already suggested, is the Lrompt selection of a Washingtonian for this District office and the rebuke of these :ndignitied place hunters who invoke re- ion, polities and blackguard abuse indis- crimirately in their behalf. — 2 >—____ The most important thing concerning the dress suit question which has been pre- cipitated into notice is the fact that it may give rise to more comment of a strict- ly bourgoise character on “life in Wash- ington.” —— oo The mayor's office at Chicago and the White House in Washington both seem to have an affinity for the name “Harrison.” —--+ «+ — A slump brought the force at work on the city post office building down to one hundred and thirty-six men today. ————_+ ++ — Mr. Bryan ts being lstered to with in- terest while making observations on the vietory that arrived behind time. ——_ + «= ____ There have been a number of embossed pictures turned to the wall in recent elec- tions. —————- + += ___ SHOOTING STARS.
