The Presijent’s course so far with re- spect to Cuba invites confidence. Not only is his interest aroused, but the steps he has taken show that peace for Cuba is his atm and desire. No other explanation will an- swer. What else would explain his keeping General Lee at Havana, sending a spe- clai commissioner to the island to examine and report upon the latest phases of the situation and his recommendation of a lib- eral appropriation to relieve the distress of the American residents there? Let it be observed also how radically his course in the premises toward Congress differs from that of his predecessor. As soon as Mr. Cleveland discovered that Con- gress sympathized with the insurgents he arched his back and prepared for fight. Congress was first ignored, and then defied. One resolution favorable to the insurgents was pigeon-holed. A second, of like tenor, which the Serate was on the eve of pass- Ing, brought from Mr. Olney, who spoke for his chief, the contemptuous announce- ment that the President would pay no at- tention to it even if it did pass. Mr. Mc- Kinley, on the other hand, confers with leading members of both houses, takes them fully into his confidence, lays before them for their offictal use all of the in- formation the State Department has col- lected on the bject of Cuba, and, alto- gether, shows sincere and scrupulous re- spect for Congress. It is said that the President has a plan of his own for settling the Cuban matter. Particulars are not given, and maybe, at this time, one man’s guess about the plan is as good as another's. But that the plan, whatever it may be, contemplates honor- able peace for Cuba seems to be certain. Everything points to that. To assume that after taking the steps he has taken, the President may decide to stop and let things drift again, as they have been drifting, is out of the question. The President by such @n act would cover himself with worse than confusion. The President shows no disposition to withhold anything from Congress, or to bully Congress with curt messages, and Congress can afford to show full apprecia- tion of his friendly consideration. The great desideratum Is peace for Cuba, which, as we all know, can only come from the throwing off of the Spanish yoke. The plan that will accomplish that speedily ts what is wanted. Whether that plan originates in Congress or in the White House does not so much matter. aiakament Departmental Waste Paper. No «ne can wonder at the constant de- mend of the goverrment departments for m room in view of the facts set forth erday’s Star regarding the accumu- latien of useless records ard documents in the storage places of the general post office. These revelations bear Interestingly upen the stion of the propesed removai of that Gepartment to the new “city post office building.” which seems to be steadily growing too small to accommodate both the general and the local offices. Irrespec- tive of the question of whether or not in- fivences are at work to prevent the re- val of the city post office from its pres- . it is important that Congress heed of the enormous ac- fons of waste paper in the offices us. It is no exaggeration to esti- t hundreds of tons of such ma- terials are now stored away in space that might otherwise be used to advantage, ma- terials that cculd safely be destroyed. Such are the copies of rejected bids submitted in years past to the postmaster general. No pessible use for these documents can be imagined. The bare records themselves, containing all the necessary facts, should suffice fcr every purpose. These papers are but samples of thousands of others in all sho the departments that could without the jeast risk be consigred to the flames, or, better stil, sold m bulk as waste. It might then be found that there could be a much mcre ©o: nicat housing of the bureaus, with less discomfort to the clerks and perkaps less menace to their health. At all events it fs an absurd proposition that the city pest olfice should be crowded out of its preper proportion of space, or entirely out of the new building originally designed Particularly for its use, in order to make room fer these tons of worthless papers. It would appear to be a measure of strict ecorcmy for the government to create a commission to go through the files of all the offices and set apart these records and documents that could with safety be de- stroyed. Others that might possibly have @ future value could be set aside for stor- age in a hail of records when Congress shall see fit to provide for that necessary building. This would oniy be such a step @s every good business man takes period!- cally. soo —____ ‘The Star's Cuba: Frespondence. Elsewhere in today's issue will be found a@ letter from The Star's special correspond- ent dn Cuba. This letter bears directiy upon the situation in the island and com- ing from a writer of keen appreciation of news matters and a trained observer of events it is of exceptional value, especially at this time when Cuba Is the foremost question before the American people. The correspondence obtains additional couse- quence from the fact that it closely follows the progress of the inquiry now being con- ducted by the American special commis- sioner into the Ruiz case in particular and the Cuban situation in general. —_~ee In common with all men who suffer im- priscnment when their own actlons might free them, Mr. Chapman doubtless regards himself as a martyr. But the great and glorious principle for which he consents to suffer is a rather intangible quantity. ————__ see —__ It is to be feared that the Spanish army can not be unreservedly relied upon for as- sistance in the distribution of food to hun- gry Americans. ——-- + 0e —-___ A Minister's Soft Snap. Senor de Lome’s success as a diplomat at this capital has been the subject of com- ment in several quarters. He undoubtedly has had success here. With the worst cause that any civilized man in modern times has represented, he has managed for two years to make it go with the best government ever devised. No other man has ever succeeded in yoking the United States up with a butcher lke Weyler for the extermination of human beings. He has had our district attorneys scratching their heads for strained arguments on neu- trality laws. He has kept our marshals and bailiffs on the jump running down re- ports of his spies. He has ordered our fast cruisers up and down the South Atlantic coast almost at his pleasure. It is only fatr to hope that he has got his pay Promptly, and not in Weylerian sttupies- ters. He has earned his money. But, at the same time, he has had tuck— phenomenal luck. No other diplomat ever had so “soft a thing” as he had with the Cleveland administration. Just how soft a thing may never be known. But a little of the story begins to appear, and in time the whole of it may come out. Then, as Hor- ace Greeley would say, the public will en- joy some “mighty interesting reading.” ‘Take the present disclosures. A year ago Secretary Olney wrote to Senor de Lome calling his attention to the frightful state of affairs in Cuba, and pointing out that it should be stopped. Senor de Lome replied that it could not be stopped except upon Spain's terms. Did Mr. Olney reply to this? Apparently not. Nothing has come to light showing that he did. In the ex- pressive language of the street, the Bosten man simply “made a front, and then fell back.” . ‘The record 1s comical on the American side. Since the date of Mr. Olney’s letter the enormities in Cuba have multiplied a hundred-fold. General Weyler at that time had hardly got his bloody hand in. Since then the herding and starving of defence- less people has taken place, the torch has been widely applied, the help'ess in the hes- pitals butchered. But not a word further from Mr. Olney. Of course he had spoken, ard Senor de Lome had said no. That seems to have let him out of the responsé- bility in his own estimation. But will it let him out in the estimation of the people of the United States? Not much! +e Horatio King. The death today of Horatio King takes from the national capital one of its historic citizens. He was one of the few remaining men who were identified prominently with the stirring days previous to the war of the rebellion and the records of the govern- ment are filled with references to his work. His impress was left particulariy upon the postal service of the government, with which he was identified in many capacities, rising from an humbie clerkship to be the head of that important department. Iiis connection with this great branch of the administration of national affairs occurred at a formative period, when ideas were of especial value, and to his genius and untir- ing energy was due much of the great progress that has been since accomplisued. It is a coincidence to be noted that his death occurs during the session here of the international posta! congress. Much of Mr. King’s best work was done in the line of developing the foreign postal service so it may be said that in a measure he was re- sponsible for the possibility of such a sig- nificant gathering as that now in session in this city. Mr. King’s unflagging enter- prise during the later years of his life en- abled him to publish, as recently as two years ago, an Interesting and important work under the title “Turning on the Light,” in which he set forth much infor- mation of unusual value regarding the dark days preceding the war, when Washington was the scene of many stirring events of which Mr. King was an observer at close range. Personal participation in mauy episodes bearing heavily upon the fate of the nation enabled him to speak with au- thority, and it was fitting that his remark- able career, so replete with good deeds and patriotic acts and thoughts, should be prac- tically closed with such a work. —__ + +e —____ It is to be hoped that when Major Mc- Kinley was desired to acecpt the republican nomination no representations were made implying that he would enjoy a sinezure.

In Doubt. “I have strong suspicions,” said the very susceptible young woman, “that he is a nobleman.” “Where's his title?’ asked her father, in accents of suspicion. “He's traveling incognito.” “Perhaps so. It’s either a case of ‘incog- nito’ or ‘alias,’ I can’t quite make out which.” A Resolution. I's hyuhd about dis sugar, An’ all de hahm it’s done, Gittin’ folkses inter jail An’ sp‘ilin’ all dah fun.

Formality. “Have you completed that indictment of the sugar trust magnate?” asked one clerk of another in the prosecuting attorney’s office. “Pretty nearly.” “Well, don’t forget to put ‘R. 3. V. P.’ at the end of it.” “This is a hard world,” said the youth, Who wistfully and long complains; “Cheer up!” the farmer cried. “In truth It wiil get softer when it rains.” A Unnecessary Admonition, “Did you tell that young man not to call here any more?” asked Mabel’s father severely. “N—no.” “Why not?” “I didn’t think that it was necessary. I don’t see how he could call any more, now. He calls seven times a week.” The Suddenness of Summer. A poem she write about “Sj1irg” one day— A half sentimental and frivolous rhyme.
