The end is not in sight, unless by means of intervention of some kind by the United States, and that is the point with which it is reasonable to assume the President now will charge himself. The situation in its proper analysis is simple. With the tariff bill out of the way, the case of Cuba will stand in its just relation to American interests and sympathies. ———_++2—_____ Ball Playing in the Street. The police must give more attention to disciplining the small boys who in defiance of the law and the police regulations per- sist in playing ball in the streets, to the peril of pedestrians, riders and wheelmen. ‘The other day a little girl’s leg was broken as the direct result of this dangerous sport, her wheel being overturned by a carelessly thrown ball. The thoroughfares are none too safe in these days of bicycling and rapid transit street cars and every effort should be made by the police to eliminate as far 2s possible this extra and useless danger. Citizens who have complained of the nuisance in the past have as a rule been told that they must take the initiative by securing warrants against individual of- fenders, and that then the police would do their part. This is unjust to residents and to those users of the streets who are an- noyed and injured by the ball-playing. Al- though the police force is small it is yet large enough to give some measure of peace to the citizens, who can not equitably be expected to be constantly on the alert after slippery youngsters. There is a dan- ger, too, that those most disagreeable af- fairs known as “neighborhood rows’ may result from zeal in such a cause and the fear of outbursts of parental vengeance doubtless deters many sufferers from mak- ing open complaints against the youthful law-br r these umstances a quiet aint to the nearest station should s > to procure for a street or or hood afflicted a certain a.

In commenting on Mr. rich’s second explanat of his sugar schedule In the tariff bill, The Star predicted that he would and suggested that as it would be the third it would probably prove to be “the charm.” The third explanation was made yesterday to a repulican caucus, and, as wes to be expected, it was a sur- render. Having failed in two efforts made in public to convince the country that his schedule was all that he claimed for it, Mr. Aldrich, behind the closed doors of a caucus, yields, and accepts a new schedule. Three times, and out. He is represented as “yielding grace- fully." That, and the fact that the new schedule, Ike the one surrendered, 1s largely technical, and gives rise to some iscussion as to its real size, are slightly disquieting. What Mr. Aldrich accepts “gracefully” at this stage of the game must Possess somewhere the elements of cumfort fer the Sugar Trust. Still, it Is a point gained for a fair bill in the end to have forced Mr. Aldrich to abandon the scheduie upon which he had bestowed so much technical skill, and which it was known carried so much comfort to the bosom of the Trust. Mr. Wellington's proposition, to adcpt the House schedule, was the best Presented, and should have been accepted. , The House, it ts understood, will stand by its schedule in conference, and this leads to the hope that the final result wili be muke another, THE EVENING STAR. !
