4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. ‘TURSDAY. CROSBY 5S. NOYE! and permanent Family Circulation uch more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washisgton datiies. As a News and Advertising Medium 11 has me competitor. ments, accor —— Mr. Wellington's Fiasco. Senator Wellington has shown some ca- pacity for party campaign work, and by reason of his activity has reached his Present station at an early age. But ft must be sad in truth that his debut in the Senaie as a party adviser, which was ac- complished yesterday, was a dismal! failure and a woful disappointment to his friends. That ft wil! injure him ts a certainty, but that is no great matter. The fear is that it may injure his party in Maryland, which is newly invested with power there, “and is approaching a campaign this year calculated to test its power even more: se- verely than did the campaign of last year. What could have induced Mr. Wellington to talk about jingoism when he had no definition for the word? Mr. Pettus’ in- quiry was entirely in order. The Maryland fenator’s discourse had shown that he did not know the meaning of the word. Jingo- ism fits England lke a glove. England ‘s a land-grabber, and has a record for bully- ing and conquering helpless people for their possessions. She has played that game ail over the world. But when did the United States ever play that game? Or show any disposition to play it? This country is no swaggerer, or brow-beater. No party based upon such a policy ever existed in this country or could exist here. And how nonsensical in particular is such talk as applied to the Cuban matter. The people of this country are not seeking to despoil the Cubans, but to assist them. The purpose is to try to save not only the Cuban people, but their possessions for their own enjoyment. The man who calls this jingoism is without sufficient informa- tion to address a town meeting on the sub- much less the Senate of the United Was Mr. Wellington instructed by the si- lence which greeted his remarks as com- pared with the hearty applause bestowed upon the happy inquiry propounded by Mr. Pettus? The people in the galleries knew, as did the Alabama senator, what consti- tutes a jingo, and they could not restrain themselves when the Maryland senator's Inglorious outburst was thus so effectively punctured. Maryland ts one of the best and proud- est of the states. Her people are American to the core. It is to be regretted therefore that on so important a subject and in so august a forum she should have been heard to such disadvantage. ———____ + ¢-e ______ The Hi ian Problem. “Kamehameha’s” latest letter from Hon- olulu, princed today, bears out all pre- vicus announcements with regard to the gravity of the situation that now con- fronts the Hawalian government. Statis- tics have been printed in the past to show the gradual increase of the Japanese over otter races in the islands, but it has re- mained for the analysis given now by The Star's correspondent, which bears the clos- est scrutiny, to demonstrate that the crisis to which the tide of Mongolian immigra- ticn inevitably points 13 a possibility of only two or three years hence. The na- tives, it will be seen, play an important part in the plans ef the Japanese—pre- suming thac plans actually underlie this movement—and when the time comes the Hawaitans, according to this letter, will be able to cast the balance, unless a great change is wrought in short order. This letter is unusually valuable in that it bears di- vectly upon the proximity of the climax that the Hawafian government is now striving by all legal means to avoid. The Submarine Torpedo Boat. The launching yesterday of the Holland submarine torpedo boat was an event of great importance in naval circies, not alone in America, but throughout the world. It represents another stage in the long strug- gle between the offensive and defensive systems of naval warfare. The race be- tween guns and armor has been practically ended, for a time at least, by reason of the limits of weight in armor and economy in guns having been apparently reached. Meanwhile there has been developing a mode of attack by means of high explosives carried in the water. To offset this nets of stout material were devised to ward off floating bombs. Thus a ship at anchor could be made practically safe from such attacks, and even a vessel slowly under way. The torpedo makers next essayed to devise a machine that could be made to dive under the nets and thus deliver the fatal blow, but these have not proved re- liable, and it has been ascertained that the next step must be the building of a craft that can be manned while under the surface, so that the target may be ap- Proached with accuracy, and the torpedo discharged from an advantageous position, that is, beyond the protective range of the nets and out of sight of the guards whose duty it is to repel the attack of surface torpedo boats. The Holland craft promises to be just such a machine, and its trials wili be watched with great interest. ————_-_ +e There ts nothing to indicate how much of an extra commission a broker who goes to jail in behaif of his clients should be per- mitted to charge. But the percentage should in all justice be a very large one. ———_+eoe The Queen's Jubliee will be an event of tremendous historic importance if It passes without giving rise to some altercation as to precedent or the proprieties in connec- tion with uniforms. soe Company at Detheboy‘s Hal ‘The (ay ii was announced that Mr. Cal- houn wouid go as special commissioner to Cuba, the news was cabled from Madrid that the Queen Regent had signed the de- cree of “reforme’ for the island and tha‘ the ovean mail would at once carry the document to Havana for promulgation. ‘The Star called attention to the play and suggested that {t. was neat enough in dip- lomatic design to be the work of Senor de lome. This heavenly purpose of Spain was to greet Mr. Calhoun when he landed, or soon thereafter, and his first impressions in the fsland were to be gathered while the air around Havana was vocal with praises of Spanish goodness. That is to say, Mr. Squeers having heard that company was on the way to visit him was setting about putting things in order to deceive them. Dotheboy’s Hall was, if possibie, to be made Presentable, and the miserable inhabitants made for a brief season to look pleasant and contented, and even thankful. Just exactly that play fe in progress. Mr. Calhoun has arrived, and the Spaniards are leading for his favorable opinion. This Morning an alleged cable frem Havana, of date of yesterday, makes these announce- ments: “The royal decree putting inte force the Teforms which the government decided on March 15 should be established in the Province of Santa Clara, Matanzas, Ha- vana, and Pinar del Rio, arrived from Spain Elpais, the organ of the autonomists, and all the other dailies, ulate the Regent on the event, which ts coin it with the birthday of Alfonso XIII. Th uis Palmerola, the civil gov- province of Santa Clara, to confer with Captain General Wexler regarding the par- don for political offenders, which im mo- mentarily expected to be. announced from Madrid on the occasion of the eleventh an- heversary of tke birth of King Alfonso XIII, which occurs today.” Nothtng could be sweeter than this. The trouble is all over. General Weyler, and the Marquis Palmerola, and the Marquis Palaver. are all busy looking after the humanities. and the comforts of t There {fs nothing small or mean about Spain. She harbors no resentments. The dear Cubans have but to smooth out their wrinkled fronts, and present themselves ebediently, to again be taken joyously to the maternal bosom. Spain “‘wipes out the old score, and stands treat to the whole village.” But fortunately for Mr. Calhoun, for the Cubans, and for the truth, General Lee knows the normal conditions of Dotheboy’s Hall. He ts not there in the capacity of young Nickleby, but he has young Nickle- by’s grit and sense of fair play, and he can tell and doubtless will tell Mr. Calhoun that, as a rule, Dotheboy’s Hall under Mr. Squeers is a hel on earth; that the man- agement in the interests of humanity ought to be radically and thoroughly changed, and that the United States ought to attend to the job. And doubtless it will be the Nickleby and not the Squeers story that will reach the President's ears through the medium of his speciil commissioner. Do- theboy’s Hall is doomed. —____+ ++ ____ A Fender and a Fact. An alleged “fender” on a rapid transit street car failed to work yesterday after- noon in this city and a man was killed. It is the theory that the chances are ten or a hundred to one that the fender in ques- tion will safely pick up any solid body that happens to be struck by it, and that in the remaining cases the wheel guard will with absolute certainty prevent the body from Passing back to the wheels. There ts no question about the matter, say the defend- ers of this device that is in use on the local street cars. Accidents are impossible with this combination of pick-up fender and impregnable wheel-guard. In view of these assertions, made with emphasis many times in the past whenever the citizens have raised questions as to the practicabil- ity of a fender that rides twelve or eighteen inches from the pavement, it would be in- teresting to know just how yesterday’s vic- tim managed to reach the wheels that ground out his life. —~++e___. An Injustice Corrected. In some editorla! remarks approving the appointment by Governor O’Ferrall of Major J. M. Love to the judgeship of Fair- fax and Alexandria counties as in the in- terests of law and order it appears that The Star inadvertently did injustice to the opposing candidate, Col. L. C. Barley, a gentleman of the highest character and who has been distinguished for the earnest- ness and vigor of his efforts to suppress lawlessness in Alexandria county. We publish therefore with great pleasure com- munications from Col. Barley and Judge Norton setting forth the facts in the case. ————++2s—_____.

Sensitive. “No,” said Willie Wishington, “I never patronize a Chinese laundry.”” “Race prejudice?” “Not exactly. I don’t like what the pro- prietor writes on the ticket. I feel as if I were being imposed on, because I can’t un- derstand it; and at the same time I suspect that if I could I'd be insulted.” Regret. "Tis strange, but true, that many men, Who cut unworthy capers, First feel remorseful o’er them when Their names get in the papers. Apprehension. “I'm afraid,” said the verbose statesman, perderovsly, “that President McKinley is making a great mistake.” ‘In what way?” ‘He is drifting into the habit of writing kis public documents with a brevity and ciearness which enables the entire Amer- ican public to read and understand them, thereby inviting a great deal of unneces- sary comment and criticism.” “I nebber ‘scourages er man f'um scat- terin’ ‘is voice aroun’ gibbin’ good advice,” said Uncle Eten. “It may not hab any influence in partic’lar, but it keeps him out o’ mischief foh de time bein’.” A Vulgar Calculation. “I am convinced,” said the broad-minded man, “that a United States senator's sal- ary is, comparatively speaking, a beggarly pittance.” “Oh, I don’t know,” replied Senator Sorg- hum. “It depends on how he handles it. A year’s salary isn’t much if he attempts to live on it. But tt makes a very respectable margin in a sugar deal” Secure.
