International Bimetallism. Some weeks ago The Star quoted a repub Hican leader of national reputation en the Subject of American repres tion at any » that might be held to advance national bimetalism. This ed that any delegates or ers appointed by the President N be ef one mind on the subject faver of the proposition. He pointed that at the Brussels conference the an delegates were divided in opi he thought, impaired the influence of the delegation at that meeting. Jent has named three comm's- sioners to visit the great powers across the sea in the interests of international bi- metallism, and in choosing them has fol- lowed the line indicated in The Star. All three are staunch champions of interna- tional bimetallism, and men of eminence and experience in affairs. One is a republi- can statesman of note, another is a repub- lican business man of note, while the third is a democratic statesman of nete and wide Personal popularity. So that both the po- Hitical world and the business world are Recognized. The fitness of the selection of Mr. Wolcott a@ppears upon its face. His visit abroad during the winter for the purpose of col- lecting, unoffictaliy, information on the sub- Ject of bimetallism will stand him in most Veluable hand now, and make his efforts, supported by formal authority, all the more effective. His republican associate, General Paine, it seems, was his companion on that trip, and he, too, by reason of that oppor- tunity, will be all the more serviceable now im the work of the commission. The selection of Mr. Stevenson was an in- spiration. The President could not have dene better. Mr. Stevenson has the confi- dence ané the respect of the entire country. He has been a loyal friend of silver for years, though not an extremist in his utter- ances since the question of free coinage became acute in party contentions. He sup- perted Mr. Bryan for President, though largely, it was repeatedly stated, because ef tne fact that Mr. Bryan was the party’s regularly nominated candidate. Mr. Steven- son, with the promise of being nominated himself, was urged before the convention was held to declare for free coinage at 16 to 1 as an independent act by this govern- ment, but he declined to do so. He is broperiy rated, therefore, as an advocate ef international bimetallism, and there ap- Pears to be the best of reasons why the friends of bimetallism should all be satis- fed with the appointment. Here is another promise made by the re- publicans at St. Louis redeemed. . Interna- tional bimetallism is to receive the benefit of the party's best effort to make it a part of the financial policy of the day. —_+ +e —____ liuckalani’s Ambitions. Mrs. Dominis’ restoration ambitions take cn daily new shades of absurdity. Her “advance agent” declares now that per- haps, under certain circumstances, she might consent to stand for the suffrages of her former subjects; now citizens of the Republic of Hawai. Necessarily this would involve a complete acceptance of the pres- ent constitution, and an acknowledgment that the office of president is legally es- tablished. At once the pretensions to the right of restoration crumble and the claims for a pension lose what little force they ay once have possessed. Mrs. Dominis is Feported as having called to the attention of President McKinley the alleged fact that the native Hawalians have no repre- sentation either here or at home. She can- net constitute herself their representative by such means. The record is against her. She was dethroned because it had become plain that she was abusing her power, de- mcralizing the machinery of government, and threatening to folst upon the people dangerous gainbling monopolies and other debasing conditions. She met the fate of all unwise and unfit rulers, and her pre- tensions now to a restoration of the powers she so thoroughly abused are as absurd as they are futile. ——— +--+ ___ While the arbitration treaty hangs in the balance of international approval the comity of nations is in a fair way of pre- Servaiion between the United States and Great Britain through the proposed cable chess match with American members of Congress and British members of parlia- Ment as opponents. Chess is not distine- tively an American game, nor even En- #lish, yet it is far more familiar to Britons @s a nation than to us. So it may be that the contest will result in victory for the other side. It will then be in order to pro- pose a return match in which the Ameri- s will be more at home. The game is not hard to find. It can truly be called American in all essentials, in its origin, its atmosphere and its vernacular. It was an American ambassador who brought it fmto vogue abroad. And no American statesman need be told that its name Is poker. ————+ee—___. ‘Thirsty New Yorkers who have indig- nantly associated the name of Theodore Rocsevelt with water will regard his con- Rection with the navy as wholly in ac- cord with the fitness of things. ————_ + ee —___ Greece persistently refuses to be dis- mayed by the possibility that she may be e@ccused of jingoism. ———__++3e Mr. McKinley and Cuba. ‘The friends of Cuba should hesitate to @ccept or to encourage stories to the effect that the cause of justice and liberty in the fsland has nothing to expect from this administration; that the Cleveland poilcy, in essentials, is to be continued; and so ferth. The record up to date does not warrant any such assertion. It raust be remembered that Mr. McKin!ey inherited from his predecessor a very diffi- eult problem as to Cuba. What he would ave done had he been President when the war first took definite shape and large broportions is more correctly to be inferred from what he has done during his one month in office than from what he has failed to do. His predecessor, during two years. did no**ing for Cuba but everything for Spain. He was of more service to Spain than Spain's own men in the island. He Was, in effect, General -Weyler’s coadjutor im the effort to re-establish Spanish rule in Cuba. Is Mr. McKinley sustaining this ignominious role toward the Spanish com- mander? The record does not show it. How stands the record? When Mr. Mc- Kinley took office American citizens were @bjects of contempt and persecution in the island. Sending them to jail and keeping them there incommunicado was easy @s you please. The Cleveland administra- tion seemed to encourage such perform- ances. That has all been changed. The Stars and Stripes today flies as high as any foreign flag in Cuba. The Cleveland administration went out of office lecturing General Lee for asking sup- port in his effort to protect his countrymen. Mr. Olney was afraid that General Lee kad lost his head. The chances are ten to one that had Mr. Olney been permitted to have his way, General Lee would have been recalied. Wnat saved the consul general's scalp was the personal friendship that ex- isted between the President and himself. Mr. Cleveland sided with Mr. Olney so far as upholding Spain was concerned, but ne favored balking General Lee rather than publicly “breaking him. Mr. McKinley sustains General Lee. He keeps him at his post. and receives from him with pleasure the news of the release of imprisoned Amerjcans. What struck Mr. Olney as evi- dence that General Lee was losing his head strikes Mr. McKinley as evidence that General Lee has a level head firmly planted on his shoulders. Mr. Cleveland refused to make any special yuiry into the affairs of Cuba. He invest- pain with the character of “the awful Mr. Jorkin: It would bring on war to ask a question about Cuba. “The awfuw Mr. Jorkins” would noi stand it. Mr. Me- | Kinley will send a special commissioner to the island, who will look into the situation and make report. Thus “the awful Mr. Jorkins” disappears from the scene. One could wish fer prompt action toward Cuba. The insurgents are a gallent and ceserving band, and the United States ought to at least recognize their belliger- ency. But this government was so com- promised by the Cleveland administration that it may take a little time for the pres- ent administration to clear the track. Jucge Day starts in a few days, and will push his investigation as rapidly as possible. —— he returns and reports the adminis- tuation will be on full trial. ——___+ «+ The Henley Distance. There are good reasons for the proposed change im the rules of the National Asso- ciation of Amateur Oarsmen that will en- able American crews to row in regattas over the Henley distance of a mile and five- sixteenths. This will make possible com- parisons between British and American oarsmen thet have never before been avail- able, because the latter hav. regularly rowed over mile and mile-and-a-half courses, and thus similar performances are out of the question. The Henley regatta is undtsputedly the greatest aquatic event in the world, and is so recognized by oarsmen and lovers of the sport in all lands. The highest ambition of American scullers is to win at Henley, but they are handicapped in their training previous to going abroad by the lack of chances to go into actual com- petition under Henley conditions. There 1s thus a chance to bring the two nations al- ready so closely allied in many other lines of sport still nearer together in rowing. The Anglo-American contests in field ath- letics, cricket, yachting, chess and horse- racing have resulted in a wholesome rivalry, and this should extend to include rowing as well. No plan ever suggested to this end, in the opinion of many oarsmen, will do so much to accomplish this result as the official adoption of the Henley dts- tance in America. It is asserted that Mr. Platt himself is desirous of suppressing the cartoonists. There is evidently little gratitude in his bosom for the energy once displayed by Pictorial humorists in depicting David B. Hill with a very small hat and a very long feather. ——_+> +e —_____ Senator Wolcott has by several months’ experience fitted himself not only to make suggestions on the money question, but to be an admirable cicerone for his two col- leagues on the new monetary commission. — ¢ —-____ In the interests of harmony, Mr. Bailey should not find {t necessary to remind Mr. McMillan that the tails of his Prince Albert coat were not meant to be trod on. ——_~>+e—___ ‘There is no expectation that the duty on hides can be made to operate so as to cover the interesting though not unique case of a gentleman named Silcott. —————— There is a remarkable number of men in the country who show a disposition to re- gard every eulogy of Thomas Jefferson as @ personal compliment. ———~ee—___ Only 185 men worked on the city post- office building today.

The Responsible Farmer. “Got the ship o’ state all manned; Runnin’ easter new.

He is the most contrary man alive, and when he gets out to the grounds and finds so many people ‘rooting’ for the home team he can't bear the idea of having to agree with them.” Dissatisfied. “I wish,” said the high-browed, confident youth, “that people would find some differ- ent method of expressing their approval than clapping their hands and saying heoray.” “Why, those demonstrations are good enough, if you are able to command them.” “Not for me.
