4 TAR. THE EVENING ‘WASHINGTON. MONDAY .May 17, 1597. CROSBY S. NOYES. “Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies, As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7 Im order to avoid delays, on count of personal absen letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connecicd with the office, but cimply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ents, according to tenor or purpose. A Business-Like Message. President McKinley's message to Con- gress urging the adoption of measures fer the relief of distressed Americans in Cuba fined to the topic immediately in . and does not digress to bring other issues relating to the war in the island tion. Thus the message lacks nsational features which some seem to have expected, which might seri- ously complicate matters and hinder the effort the suffering citizens of the Unite States. It is evidently the President's intention to postpone any fur- ther demonstrations of policy until Mr. Cathoun’s report has been received, or such information has been obtained from him as will point unmistakably to the need of intervention. A less conservative course at this particular time might readily set the country into a ferment. When the time comes for action, when the best Information obtainable is recetved and digested, it is now practically certain that the President will announce himself in such terms that the popular sentiment will be fully satisfied. Meanwhile the relief work outlined in the message of today can proceed. One suggestion that the Presi- dent makes is worthy of special attentiot he urges that there be set aside out of the appropriation for relief a certain sum to aid In brinsing Americans now in Cuba back to their homes in this country. This is a practical step that will doubtless lessen the need of further appropriations for re- lief such as that about to be extended. Holding Tose The Senator-elect state is to renew his to the principles of the Chic#go silver for a Silver wins in Florida. from that prompt Ss out im Ohio, in Vi ate campaigns 1 issues. ie conventions chesen on the of the number t for Mr. Bryan last year.

Should it not stand as Ss the opposition? If it does not, will y at once into the hands of the opposition? If, for any reason, Ohio, New York, Maryland and Kentucky, all of which were carried for sound money last year, should year be carried under silver 1 not the cause of sound y e a set-back? So far Congress is concerned, the financial question is still in abeyance. but the tariff will be dealt with at But when Congress meets next winter the financial question will be in order and will be taken up. By that ests of international bimetallism returned and reported to the and on the strength of that re- her consi ‘erations, be ready to make some Congress. Would it help use of sound money for the friends et to be able to point out that at the er a number of states which ar had voted for sound money had to how reversed that decisicn? if the sound money organization is broken up, or even is impaired, before Congress has had time to deal with the money ques- tion, reason for its original appearance be ditticult for peopie of reflection to understand. soe The Desperate Sugar Trust. Made desperate by the clear prospect that the will reject the sugar schedule now written in the tariff bill, the Trust is now resorting to a species of Dlack-mail to beat down the opposition. Certain senators who have announced their antagonism to the iniquitous section dic- tated by the Trust have been plainly given to understand that unless they withdraw their objections they will find it impossible to secure action on items in which they are interested. The Trust and its agents, in ether words, are playing section against Section and paragraph against paragraph, in the hope of scaring the whole field into accepting the Trust's own clauses. But it is apparent at this stage that the opposi- tion will resist this process, and that the threatened loss of rates on specific com- Modities will not deter honest senators from doing their duty by the whole coun- try. Senate ——_++e The President's message admits a condi- tion of famine and destitution in Cuba, but Fefrains from indulging in any theories as to what caused it. see The People Speak. Last night's popular demonstration in be- half of Cuba supplies abundant cause for Pride and congratulation. The audience Was overflowing and thoroughly represen- tative; the speeches and the resolutions were pitched in the key of both patriotic sentiment and practical duty. The whole Cuban case was never better stated. The value of this demonstration could not easily be overestimated. There is probably not a city in the country where a similar @ne could not tonight be held but such de- liverances at the capital here, participated in by men of all parties high in office, and @pplauded by men and women from all sec- tions, give to this occasion a meaning and @ignificance truly national. It is as if the country itself had spoken, as it did formal- ly through Congress last year, and as it ap- Pears to be on the eve of doing through Congress again. First of all, it will help to open the eyes @f people abroad to the real situation here. ‘The Star last week, quoting from an Eng- Ush periodical, showed that the United States is held jointly responsible with Spain cross the sea for the reign of murder and terror in Cuba. We are twitted with being greatly moved by the atrocities committed in Crete and Armenia, thousands of miles @way, while constructively a participant in @trocities quite as hideous and inhuman ¢onfmitted right at our doors. We are thus eharged with both inhumanity and hy- pocracy. The only reply to this is the reply that was made at the Columbia Theater last night. The name of the official responsible for the bringing of the accusation against e United States was twice mentioned and th times vigorously hissed. It is not eeable to hear hissed the name of a Man who has filled the highest office in the government, but when it is necessary to defend the people themselves against a charge so humiliating, and, by them, so undeserved, it is entirely proper that the truth, even at his expense, should come out. And Mr. Cleveland is responsible. It is true that he cannot be charged with in- consistency. The news from Crete and Ar- menia never moved him. He was undoubt- edly consistent. His sympathy with Gen- eral Weyler in Cuba, who was butchering people al! over the island, was directly in line with his sympathy with Mrs. Dominis in Hawaii, who had formulated for herself the policy of beheading all of her opponents when Mr. Cleveland should succeed in re- storing her to power. But Mr. Cleveland's consistency made the people of the country appear inconsistent. They were as anxious that butchery should be stopped in Cuba as in Crete and Armenia; but Mr. Cleveland, who was elected to be their servant and representative, chose to make himself their boss and the cause of their revilement. He flatly refused to execute their will. The proposition that the United States cannot take humane action in this business without incurring responsibility for war with Spain is nonsense. The point is hard- ly worth noticing, for a nation which in such circumstances would be deterred by such a consideration would not be worthy of respect. It would not enjoy its own self- Tespect. But war is not on the horizon. The question is one of peace. What the United States desires, in the interests of humanity, is peace in Cuba, and as Spain has shown herseif unable to secure that by the torch and the sword, she should be firmly urged to adopt some other policy, or quit the island. The fact that she has so far refused to extinguish the torch or sheathe the sword shows that they are her only relfance, and that her cause is lost. + = —____ Strike of the New York Tailors. The strike of the New York tailors, started yesterday, involves an army of workmen and a vastly greater number of people through those dependent upon them. It bids fair at the outset to be one of the largest local trade union movements of several years, though there is no proba- bility of its spreading to other trades or cities. One estimate places the number of tailors who are expected to be on strike within a few days at 36,000. The issue ts simple. The strikers demand more pay than they now receive. They work from fourteen to sixteen hours a day for from three to five dollars a week. They demand from nine to twelve dollars as a week's pay. At the average increase asked by the strikers the total advance that would be paid out weekly if their pleas were granted would amount to about $234,000. ‘These figures indicate the proportions of this latest labor disturbance. Fortunately the trade involved is such that the strike will not seriously interfere with the city’s or- dinary necessities, ee General Weyler would doubtless regard it as only an act of international courtesy if a refusal to talk for publicatioa be made @ condition of the liberation of American citizens from Cuba. ———_~ +e —___ The Sultan is evidently ambitious to make up for Turkey's failure to do any- thing conspicuous. in the revival of the C:ympian games. <-> ___ The conduct of the Sultan emphasizes the fact that this is the first opportunity he has had in a long time to enjoy a bona fide victory. —_++2—____ Only one hundred and eighty-seven men worked today on the city post office build- ing. —_+ee—_____ SHOOTING STARS.
