Unwise Agitation. There is reason to believe that those friends of Cuba in the House who are try- hand of that body are ing to force the contributing to the Injury of the Cuban se. Congressional procedure in the United States is never a page of cicar reading in Europe, and a complicated situ- ation, such as now exists in the House cf Representatives, is easily misinterpreted. For instance, the maneuver of yesterday on the part of Mr. Lewis may bemade to take on in Spanish eyes the aspect of re- publican unfriendliness for Cuba. There was the resolution in favor of Cuba, and there was Mr. Dingley’s point of order it. The point of order was sus- and the appeal from the Speaker's ion was tabled. Ergo, as Mr. Lewis’ friend Shakespeare would say, the repub- lican majority of the House is opposed to Cuba. That is doubtless the form in which the news will travel to Spain, and so help along Spain's desperate effort to borrow a little more ready money. But the actual truth we know over here. ‘The majority of the House is not unfriend- ly to Cuba. The leaders are on record in Cuba's behalf. What is insisted on is merely that the business be left to the ma- jority to shape. No great delay is threat- ened. Things are working, although the House appears to be idle. The President's al commissioner is in Cuba, with his eyes and ears open, and his return is prom- ised for some day in June. He will come sight to Washington and report imm¢= diately to the President. Then, it is only fair to assume, Congress and the country will heat the result of the special commis- sioner’s observations. It is not an easy matter to see how Cuba fs to lose by this It is entirely natural that the dent shoutd desire to hear from Mr. sent him to Cuba for in- and it is entirely proper that - should wait a reasonable time dent. So far as can e seen, House nor the President has aly object in view toward Cuba this delay. _Both are believed to be ndly, and as the business is highly im- it is desirable that they may be in sf in nt, if possible, in all future steps taken in’ the matter. Besides, so far as the House is concerned, the question there is one of majority rule. The mino: ty ht not to expect, or to press for, re leadervhip in anything. —__ + e+ —__. A Special Ambassador. The President's decision to send a special ambessador to London to represent this gcvernment at the jubilee ceremonies next menth, and his selection of Mr. Whitelaw id for the important office, are both in st degree praiseworthy. The Eng- lish function will be unique and full cf merit and meaning, and the whole civilized world is arranging to take unusual note of it. The sited States should be behind no nation in the sincerity and completeness of s f-licitations to the Queen and her sub- jects on the occasion. So considering, the President does well ta serd a special . ~pre- sentative to convey the congraiulations the People of the United States desire to ex- tend to se great and good a woman and sovereign on a day marking so memorable an event in her own and the empire's history. The President finds in Mr. Reid a man admirably fittyd in every way for the mission. Accomplished as writer and speak- er, of wide travel and familiar with the best iffe of his own and other countries; entative man truly of American s and institutions; experienced 4s 2 diplomat in the regular commission of this government; Mr. Reid may confi- dently be expected to execute this special and delicate task with conspicuous success and all good taste. Moreover, his intimate 3ersonal relations with Ambassador Hay $ill insure him a warm greeting at the American Embassy in London, and the fuliest co-operation in the discharge of whatever of the business may touch jointly the reguiar and the special missions. ———__ +e. Laborers and Machines. rs from the accounts of the meeting held in this city last night by col- ered men that the local workingmen are threatened with a further loss of employ- ment through the use of machines to take the place of the street-sweeping “pick-up” squads, and again the matter of hand cleaning with its various benefits to the community comes to the fore. As The Star pointed out recently, “in discussing the quesuon, the hand method will permit the employment of several hundred more men than can economically be hired on the ma- chine basis, and It is therefore an item to be considered, especially in view of the an- nual call upon the generosity of the cit- izens for charity to prevent suffering among the classes that contribute most largely to these forces. These pick-up ma- chines are locally experimental, and it would be the part of wisdom on the part of the Commissioners to go very slowly in considering their adoption. The best so- juuon of the whole question would seem to be the acceptance of the bids for hand cleaning, the extra cost of which for the period of the contract might be taken as representing the expense of training a force of skilled laborers for the future ser- Vice of the District. —_—__ + +e —___ Senator Morgan has been characterized @s 4 pepper and vinegary sort of man. It would be a good thing if there were more Vinegary men in the Senate and fewer nen of sugar. > —___ rasp of the Sugar Trus proposition that the Sugar Trust stunds before Congress as other business interests stand, simply asking for the pro- tection guaranteed to all under a policy of protec most absurdiy untenable. The Sugar Trust, both in its power in the ness and the political world, and in idacity of its operations, is a Trust . and is rapidly assuming the pro- of a most dangerous public enemy. 1f it Ls : ot checked, and that very promptly, there will be no limit to its schemes or to its corrupting power. The ‘Th. A aistinetive quatity of this Trust fs its cynical frankness. 1t ts bold and unblush- tug. It knows whac it wauts, and it makes straight for its quarry. It stands in with both parties. It helps the democrats in eemocratic states, and the republicans in Fepublican states. It stands te win, if it can make itself sure of its men, no matter Which side triumphs. Its performance in this perticular recalls the Iriskman at sea, who, in a storm, began his prayer in this wh “Good Lord, or Good Devil, for I krow not into whose hands I may fall. In a political storm the Sugar Trust pro- pitiates beta sides with offerings; for it nows not into whose hands jt may fall. Se far tm its caréer, it has fallen only into bands which have fed it bountifully. But the Sugar Trust in its operations here should be brought to book. This is demanded in the interests alike of the | people and of a sound legislative morality. This Congress cannot afford to do the Sugar Trust's bidding. It cannot afferd to write into the tariff bill now taking final shape a sugar schedule which the Trust desires, and which if enacted into law will make it the despot of the sugar market in the United States for years. By that act the republican party wouid publicly plead guilty to the strongest indictment that even the populists have drawn, and would lose the next Congress elections by a larger majority than the demecrats lost those after permitting the Trust to have its way in shaping the sugar schedule of the Gorman-Wilson bill. Nor is this all. The Sugar Trust is essay- ing to help shape the foreign poiicy of the government. It is behind the effort to abrogate the treaty with the Hawalian Islands, and it oppases the cause of human- ity for Cuba for fear Cuban sugar under a new government for the island would be admitted into this country upon freer terms than now exist. This is a bold flight for a business organization, but the Sugar Trust has shown itself to be capable of it. This manifest duty rests with the Senate. Three years ago the Trust made its play for the Senate. A democratic ways and means committee of the House having adcpted a sugar schedule which the ‘Trust was not satisfied with, the Trust worked upor the Senate and got what it wanted. History has in part repeated itself. A republican ways and means committee of the House has adopted a sugar schedule which the Trust dees -net like, end -has. refused to abrogate the treaty with Ha- wail. The Trust appeals to the Senate. Shall tke Trust win there the second time, with the scandal attaching to the first ‘transaction filling the air with a malodorous revival? Could the Senate afford such a thing? : Journalism has been called, in compli- ment, the Fourth estate. If the Sugar Trust is permitted to continue to exercise its power in public affairs, it will be en- titled to the designation of the Fifth estate. We shall then have ‘he Legislative, Ex- ecutive, and Judicial departments of the Sovernment, a free press, and the Sugar Trust. ——————_++e—____ After the manner in which some New York papers insisted on locating the Poto- mac Flats en the Eastern Branch, it would not be surprising if: the citizens of East: Washington took a retzliative vow to in- variably refer, hereafter, to the northern part of Manhattan Island as “Brooklyn.” The experience of Mr. Havemeyer will impress on every man who is liable to sena- torial examination the desirability of com- mitting his business affairs to writing, and forgetting them forthwith. —__ + ee —___ In connection with Mr. John R.

From the New York Herald. The collapse of this important trial can hardly fail to recall public attention to the suspicious flasco of the senatorial scandal investigation of three years ago or to arouse a general query as to why if the committee meant business it stopped with a futile request for data when it might have made an effective.demand for books. It is also weil calculated to center more than ever public attention and even popu- jar suspicion on the remarkable sugar schedule pending in the Senate, in which there has been exposed a bonus to the trust greater than that which gave rise to the notorious scandal of 1894.
