Mr. Aldrich is advertised to open the tariff debate in the Senate Monday, and very great interest will attach to his speech. The Rhode Island Senator is an able man, he has devoted a good deal of time io the tariff question, and has Played an important part in the making of ®everal tariff bills. Morcover, as chair- man of the subcommittee of the Senate finance committee which tacked so many amendments to the Dingley bill, be is, of course, entirely familiar with all the de- tails of that work, and is prepared to ex- plein it from the subcommittee’s point of view. The Seyate and the country will hear his explanation with interest, and Ddecause of the importance of the matter it is to be hoped that he will go fully and at leagth into the subject. Mr. Aldrich is a wideawake man who. reads the newspapers and keeps up with the times. It eannot have escaped him therefore that some of the work of the Senate subcommittee has been widely and frankly criticised. The wisdom of much of it is questioned. Nor is this criticism confined to the newspapers. There are Senaiors on Mr. Aldrich’s own side of the chamber who share in it, and the republi- can memoers of the House do, almost to aman. The desire may be stated as most widespread, indeed, both in Congress and out, fer an opening speech Monday which shall plainly and unreservedly out- line the full championship of the amended bili as against the bill which the House passed. These points in particular will bear as much attention as Mr. Aldrich may be able to find time to devote to the.n: (@) The additional tax on beer. The House pill was framed upon customs Hres. (2) The tax on tea. The House Will left the breakfast table, as it found it, free. ) Increased differential duty on sugar, whereby the sugar trust would benefit. (f) The attempt to abrogate the Hawailan treaty. Who asked for that? And why? By making the explana:ion of the sub- committee's work full and cl2ar at the out- set. Mr. Aldrich will contribute to a prompt disposition of the tariff bill. Much of the work will be challerged,-and some of it will be defeated, but the debate all along the line will proceed with all the more success and expedition for the lining up of both sides at the start upon well under- stood conditions. The country wants a good bill, drawn in the people's interests, and all the reasons for it. > +2 —___—_ General Fitshugh Lee. Soon after the inauguration of Mr. Kinley. The Star suggested that a popular decision on the part of the new Executive would be to keep General Lee at his post in Havana. It was pointed out that General Lee had been conspicuously successful there: that he had forced re- spect for his authority against the dis- couraging influences of his former chief; that, In every way, he had shown such conspicuous fitness for the post, a change in it while the Cuban problem was still unsolved might work harm to American interests in the island. That suggestion may be repeated now with ten-fold the reason that sustained it then, for it is so very much plain than it was then how thoroughly G Lee has earned the gratitude of his coun: trymen. All information from Havana, whether from public or private sources, is laden with praise of his assiduity, his earn- estness, and his suceess in looking after American affairs there. He keeps his pluck and his temper under the gravest cireumstanc He presses all proper in- quiries home. This Ruiz investigation ts the result of an assertion of his belief that Dr. Ruiz was murdered. This appropria- tion of money for the relief of starving Americans in the island is largely the result of his representations of things. The facts were before him, and he did not rest until they were properly appreciated here at home. - Ordinarily, General Lee would come home promptly—might have come before this even. He is a good democrat, and would seek neither office nor retention in offied under a republican administration. But the Cuban question is not a political ques- tion. Democrats and republicans alike ar¢ for freedom in Cuba. And as democrats here are in alliance with republicans in Pressing for justice for Cuba, General Lee can with all consistency and propriety remain in office in Havana and aid a re- publican administration in the carrying out of a sound American policy. Besides, there would be a certain de- served rebuke to the recent administration, in the honoring thus of an official it desired to dishonor. Had Mr. Olney been permit- ted to have his way, General Lee would have lost his official head early last winter. Mr. Olney had only anger and contempt for feports which have since established the reputation of General Lee as a careful observer of important events, and a man worthy of one of the most illustrious names in the history of the United States. ——-+e Commissioner Wight has provided larger and more convenient quarters at the Dis- trict building for the newspaper men.

A point of consequence in the matter of the rapid transit problem confronting the Hckingion and Belt Railway companies is raised by the Eckington Citizens’ Associa- tion, whose interest In the situation is un- taimted by any consideration save the de- sire to secure a safe and satisfactory means of transportation. This relates to the question of the responsibilty for the final adoption of the compressed air motor. According to the assertion of the associa- tion, which seems to be supported by a reading of the statutes, the Commission- ers must Grst be satisfied that the motor is “In all respects a proper and satisfactory ‘motive power for the speedy and con- venient propulsion of street cars” before they may issue permits to the companies to equip their lines with the compressed air system The amendatory legislation ap- proved in February did not affect this pro- vision for @ supervision over the acts of the railroad companies by some such compe- tent authority as the board of Commission- ers. It merely extended the time limits rapid transit equipment. it ‘that somebody 6m the part of the inas been somewhat the tests already tind to have been so satis- Me- and factory. as to warrant the ordering of sufficient numbér of afr cars to equip Teast one section of the road without ther delay. It would appear that there been no submission of the experimenits to the Cortmivsioners, no public or offictal demonstration of the efficiency or safety or economy of the motor and hence the tests thus far have been of practically no value whatever as far ad the final de- termination of the main question is con- eerned. The latest statute on the subject extends to July 1 next the time within which the roads “shall begin to equip those Portions of-their respective lines which are situated within the boundaries of the city of Washington with compressed air mo- tors.” Therefore it would appear to be a matter of urgent need that some arrange- ments should be made at once for this offi- cial demonstration and decision, for whieh the law seems to call before the end of the fiscal year. The mears for such a test are at hand, in the presence here of an air motor. Let it be run over the various sec- tions of beth roads—not one alone, but both the Eckington and the Belt—under the scrutiny of the Commissioners or their ex- pert representatives. Let this test be as thorough as the case demands, and let It lead to a final and authoritative determina- tion of the question of practicability and availability by the Commissioners. Until that has been done the companfes must face the charge of wasting time and avoid- ing the true and legal issue. They have no standing anywhere just now except before the Commissioners and neither the courts nor Congress can equitably extend any aid until those officials have been given an op- portunity to enforce the law. ———___+ += _____ America at the Jubilee. ‘The proposition to send a special ambas- sador to England to present the felicitations of the American people to Queen Victoria on the occasion of the approaching jubilee celebration meets with considerable favor and might perhaps be adopted but for its appearance of dwarfing the dignity and position of our regular ambassador there. ‘The idea is based upon the most -unusual character of the function, and all that it embraces. It is urged, therefore, that the recognition of it here should be in every way commensurate with its purport and significance. In thinking of Queen Victoria the Ameri- can people have always considered the Woman quite as much zs the sovereign. As wife and mother she has exerted her sreatest influence on this side of the water. Her home life, so often described, and its charm, though always warmly, never but justly extolled, has been an inspiration for good here as among her own people. Her devotion to her husband, her careful train- ing of her children, the perfect order of her household, have stampe’ her as the model English woman, whom women of English speech everywhere have 1eve.ed and c pied. She has shown them by her own example how far-reaching are a woman's duties, and how faithfully they may be performed €ven under the harassiments and anxieties of exalted public station. In the great pageant itself ihe sovereign will be considered. Great Britain, under this remarkable ruler, bas enjoyed ‘much Prosperity. The Victorian Era has been illuminated by many English men of genius —men of thought as well as men of action— peets, painters, philosophers, statesmen, scientists, novelists, historians and church- men. The empire has teen held together, whien, all things considered, is a wonder among wonders. How éeft and sure the touch which from the Houses of Parliament drives that long team of colonies success- fully along, without a crossing of the lines cr a serious flurry in the traces, can only b€ appreciated by those who compare the achievement with what has been attempted eisewhere sitice men first undertook the task of orderly government. And to the most difficult phases of this work the Queen has herseif contributed much wise and useful suggestion. But the people of the United States—the representative people, who understand and leve thelr own government—care little for the pageantry of a crown. They believe that it would be better for the world if in some safe way all crowns could be thrown into the melting pot. For this great and good woman, however, who has worn hers s¢ well, they cherish a sincere and profound respect. —_——_—-++__ Ambassador Hay‘s Felieitivus Address More than ordinary interest attaches to the address of Ambassador Hay at the un- veiling of the Walter Scott memorial in Westminster Abbey, because of the oppor- tunity to observe.how far the present American representative might follow in the paths laid down by his predecessor in the matter of complimenting the English people. The ambassador could not have made a better impression upon his own people and it is indeed unfortunate for the fame of British good taste if he has not succeeded in recommending himself to the Queen’s subjects as a dignified diplomat, a scholar and the possessor of the ability to say happy and pleasing things with- out detracting in the least from his home people oz lugging in American politics. The address was felicitous and pleasing to English ears. It expressed the deep ad- miration of a lover of Mterature for the works cf one of the masters of language. It wiped away national lines to make room for a world-wide loyalty to the poet-author. It sounded the promise that during the next four years there will be no lack at London of representative American ability on all cceasions where speech Is necessary. —_—_--.___ The Sugar Trust and the Caucus. There are indications that the friends of the Sugar Trust will endeavor to obscure and misrepresent in the coming caucus of republican senators the purpose and effect of the omission by the Aldrich subcommit- tee from the House tariff bill of the cus- tomary clause exempting Hawaiian sugars from its operations. No one should now be deceived by specious assertions that the retention of this clause is not necessary for the maintenance of the reciprocity treaty, or that to omit it simply Jeaves the ques- tion of abrogation open for action in the ordinary direct manner. Such assertions were effective with some members of the committee when the sub- committee at the last moment (soon after the arrival of John D. Spreckles and ex- Senator Felton from California) brought forth its monstrously intricate sugar sched- ule for report to the Senate; but the de- ception once successfully practiced has since been clearly exposed. To omit the exemption clause means }- simply to give up the treaty and with it all the commercial and political advantages which it now secures-to this country. —_>+s—_____ Of course there will be no hot-headed devotee of jingoism so unreasonable as to contend that General Miles ought, when Presented to the Sultan, to have expressed popular sentiment in this country by under- taking to chastise him single-handed. ——++e—____* A bey nineteen years old has just robbed a Boston bank of $30,000.
