EVENING STAR has a regular t Family Circulation the combined cir- culation of the ether Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. void delays, om ac- absence, letters to o7Im order to to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the An Epech-Marking Act. ‘The signing of a treaty for the annexa- tion of the Hawaiian islands is an act of which the administration may with every Teason be proud, and upon which the coun- try may with every reason be congratu- Jated. It Is the working of “manifest destiny.” and in the direction of the fulfill- ment of our just obligations to ourselves and to others. The aspirations of mere than fifty years are realized in It, and the Dest ard most progressive sentiment of thi< present day approves it. The details of the convention may with all safety be left to leisurely examination. They are the work of competent men, with a definite and patriotic end in view. But the significance of the convention is something to be setzed at once, and ts sufficient to give the country —the whole country—a thrill of pride and pleasure. (1) The tslands belong In our scheme of advanced and rapidly advancing national power. We are exclusively a land power no longer. We are a sea power as well, and must support that power in every proper way. It is especially necessary that we make ourselves strong in the Pacific, and the Hawaiian islands are the key to the Pacific. Their distance from our main coast line will soon be annihilated, by the laying of a cable and the establish- ment of a line of fast vessels, and under the influences of speedy and frequent communication the new country In its®full development will reflect both the spirit and the characteristics of the old. 2) The United States has a record of Phenomenal success in dealing with newly acquired territory. Texas is a great and prosperous empire. The Louisiana pur- chase, though inhabited at the start by people of an alien tongue and habit, is now @ garden spot, and the home cf millions. When it was acquired, it was more difficult and took more time to go from Washington to New Orleans than now to go from San Francisco to Honolulu. Alaska is rapidly developing under the siars and stripes. This is assurance in itself of our ability to convert the Hawaiian islands at a very early day, with the splendid start that American civilization aiready has there, into territory so prosperous and inviting that it will fill up with people of excellent stamp and condition. 8) This step will arouse the peopie and appeal to them on the score of the future. It will serve as a finger-board, pointing to what is before us, and how, if the country is to take its proper place in the growth of the world, the future must be met. There are just two conditions in the world, for Rations as for individuals: growth and decay. The United States cannot hope to stand still. If it does not go forward it will certainly go backward. But growth, of course, does not mean a constant expan- sion of boundaries. It means the rising io all occasions when the country’s welfare demands it, and when to make itself prop- erly felt it must make itself strong. ‘Vaere will follow some talk about Cuba. There are very many people who would be glad to see Cuba speeuily follow Hawaii ito the Union. The topic is full of sugges- ton. But sufficient unto the day is the island thereot. The Hawaitan group ts ripe and we take it in. With Cuba as ripe and as anxivus for absorption—ana that condi- tion seems swiitiy approaching—who shall say that the result in her case will not be the same? SS Oo Barney Barnato. Barney Barnato, the “diamond king” who has just conimitted suicide, has never been much more than a fantastic figure to Americans, who, fortunately for them, Provably, had few opportunities to come into close contact with him or his intrepid financial schemes. Eut he has neverthe- less attracted much interested attention owing to the peculiar circumstances of his rise in the money world. Originally a sort of traveling showman on the smallest seale, with a trick donkey as his chief Steck-in-irade, he invested shrewdly, dou- bled, quadrupied and then indefinitely in- creased his profits. He was the man of the hour in South Africa, such a man as always exisis in times and places of sudden uncoverings of great natural resources. He probabiy deserved his success. His life after he became one of the richest men im the world showed that he lacked certam qualities of solidity, but he was at all times a bold speculator, hesitating at nothing, however colossal, in the way of organization and investment. Of course in time his bubble broke, as all such wildly speculative booms are sure to break. Thousands were beggared py the collapse of some of his schemes. The fall in “Kaflirs’ absorbed entire fortunes. He seemed to hold up his head for a time, but he had evidently reached the end of nis run, for his suicide now confirms the suspicion that has prevailed for some time im continental financial circles that Bar- nato’s day was gone. His memory re- mains as one of the curiosities of the end of the century. Barnato’s career lacked many of the dramatic episodes that mark- ed the rise and fall of John Law in the oeginning of the century preceding, but in the boldness of his operations and the mag- nitude of the sums involved, he greatly distanced his early counterpart. see ‘The officers of the Marine Corps compos- ing the court-martial on Prof. Fanctulli have recommended the discharge of the Jeader of the Marine Band. Both the Ma- rine Band and the public need Prof. Fan- elulli at the head of the national organiza- tion, and it is hoped that the Navy De- partment will consider that al! the necessi- tes of disctpline can be met by a technical sentence for a technical offense. After- ward there should be a radical change in the standing of the leader of the Marine Band. ————+e+e—___ Mr. Chapman ts now reaping the benefit af the most extensive advertisement that any broker, accustomed to conduct trans- actions without publicity, ever had. ————_-+++____ The B. and O. as a Squatter. ‘The Northeast Washington Citizens’ As- sociation are making a vigorous In the Senate which grants to the corpora- tion the right to lease or buy the reserva- tion in question, at a price, if purchased, of not less than $1.50 a square foot. This is an inequitable and unwise proposition, and {ft is well that the associated citi- zens have exposed its disadvantages and dangers, in season, perhaps, to prevent its consummation. It is distinctly against public policy to sell or lease the parking reservations. The fact that this triangle has been practically ruined for present purposes by the rall- roafi’s usurpation does not affect the case. The railroad is unlawfully in possession and no amount of legislation can make equitabie the trespass that has been com- mitted. For another reason, too, it would be Injudicious to permit this action. It is extremely probable that within a few years the grade crossing problem will have been solved by the elevation of the Baltl- more and Ohio tracks. It would then be utterly inadvisable that the company should possess, either by fee or lease, this bit of ground that should even now be a park and that could not then be so used if the company did not desire to use it for its own purpose. It is undesirable, too, that there should be any additions to the yard facilities of the raflroads within the city limits. Those nuisances must be confined to the outer range of suburban territory, and the sooner the Interlor Department acts affirmatively upon the petition of the eltizens for the removal of these Iilegal tracks and ignores the pending bill, which so eviaently seeks to perpetuate this wrong, the better it will be for the city and for the government. 2-2 A Sound Money Diviston. The political situation in Kentucky 1s ¢gain becoming interesting. A clerk of the Court of Appeals and a new Legislature are to be elected in November, and there is the prospect of another stirring campaign. The democracy is still sharpty divided on the money question. The silver wing of the party has held its convention, indorsed the Chicago platform of last year and Mr. Bryan, and nominated a candidate for Ap- Pellate clerk. Mr. Blackburn, who is an avowed candidate to succeed Judge Lind- say In the Senate, will stump the state for that faction, and it is not unlikely that Mr. Bryan may find the time to make a few speeches. The silver men, indeed, will ex- ert themselves to the utmost to get out their full vote, and are already expressing themselves as confident of winning. The opposition, which by uniting its forces last year carried the state, seems this year to be divided. The gold demo- crats have called a convention for the 14th of July, with the declared purpose of put- ting up a candidate for the clerkship, and the republicans have just issued a call for the same purpose, and have named August i0 as their day. Nothing would appear to be plainer, therefore, than, if there are to be three candidates for the Appellate clerkship placed in the field, the candidate of the silver democrats will easily be electe ed. The union of the gold democrats and the republicans last year was successful only by a few hundred majority, and all of the influences of a national election were then in operation. So that for the gold democrats and the republicans to support separate candidates this year will give the State to the silver men by a good round majority. The state office at stake is of very ilttle consequence. The platform is the thing, and therein lies the difficulty. The gold democrats will reiterate at their conven- dion the principles of the Indianapolis con- vention, and the republicans at their con- vention the principles of the St. Louis con- vention. From the one platform a repub- sican candidate will be barred, and from the other a democrat. The only way to bridge over the difficulty would be for both conventions to confine themselves strictly to opposition to free coinage at 16 to 1, and then agree, later, upon a candidate—some- thing not at all likely to be done. If free silver carries in Kentucky, even through this division of the sound money strength, the victory will be cried far and near by the Bryan men. And the effect will be to hearten them elsewhere. Silver is really the only national issue left, and winnings and losings from now on will be calculated from that meridian. 2 ——_~++e Open Police Trials. ‘There was nothing in the first public ses- sion of the police trial board, as reported in the news columns of today's issue, that should not have been made krown to every citizen. Commissioner Wight's wisdom in ordering the opening of the trial bourd sessions is fully demonstrated. It appears that there is much petty bickering not only between citizens and policemen, but also between members of the force, and the throwing of light on the cases will per- haps clear away some unpleasant misun- derstandings. Policemen will probabiy be more careful in their personal conduct ard their bearing toward citizens when they realize that their trials are to be made public and this new move may result in a marked improvement in the discipline and efficiency of the force. —_———seo—___—_ There is no doubt that Mr. Vanderbilt has 6 perfect right to refuse anybody ad- mission to the architectural curio in North Cerglma vihich he occasionally inhabits. But unless a great deal of money has been wi sted, Biltmore is a work of art, and, as such, a matter of public interest and of importance in the mcdelling of American standards of culturé. The question of how far Mr. Vanderbilt should go in preventing an inspection of his property is very sim- ple as a matter of law, but not so clear frem an ethical standpoint. It would be much simplified if he could loan Biltmore, when not in usc, to some responsible art gallery. ——_——_-e-____ Closely technical disciplinarians are greatly handicapped in any appeal té sen- timent by the fact that the American pub- Me would rather Hsten to good music than to see the soldiers keep time. ——__ +++ ____. Mr. Edward Bellamy thinks of establish- ing a socialistic colony in the state of Washington. The start of this enterprise may be serene, but the finish is likely to be speedy and pyrotechnic. ———_s+o—____——_ The campaign in Ohio has not yet reached sufficient warmth to cause either Mr. Henna or Mr. McLean to hold the other personally responsible for that Ur- bana affair. ——_ - + oe —____ A Significant Protest. The London Globe furnishes the strongest possible argument for speedy action by the United States on the Hawaiian ennexa- tion treaty just signed in !ts protest againg this action being taken without reference to England and her “rights” in the premises. The Globe bases its objec- tion to the procedure on the ground that Hawaii is of immense value to Great Bri- tain. The islands, it points out, are in the direct line of communication between Van- ccuver and Australia and the far cast. If this estimate be placed om the group by England how much greater is its value to this country, whose shores are nearer and whose interests are more directly con- cerned? The Globe's proposition that Eng- Jarji must be consulted and her consent to the annexation practically bought by the giving of « “quid pro quo” is preposterous. It comes With 1 grace from @ journal of influence in a nation distinguished by its utter disregard for the laws .of. reprocity and exchange in the matter of acautring colontal possessions. Lord Sal will hardly be so foolish as to advance this point. To do s0 he would have to enter formal protest with the government here and would immediately put himself ine most embarrassing position. History, Precedents in diplomacy would confront him with a solid wall of denial. The Globe has thrown a boomerang, for it has added force to the conviction prevailing here that Hawall is a righty desirable outpost. The Canadian shores are in no such need of a mid-ocean guard as are those of the United States, yet the Globe insinuates that Ha- waii is of the utmost consequence to the Dominion’s safety. That jourwal's hysteri- cal protest does not appear to be rein- forced by its associates, for as far as ca- bled the other papers printed in London agree that the annexation of Hawaii to the United States is assured, and that England will have :othing whatever to say about tile affair. ———++e—____ There is no way of dodging the fact that Mr. Vanderbilt's Biltmore employe under- took to definitely limit the hospitality and courtesies extended to President McKinley. ———__+ +e It is hoped by many friends of Professor Fanciulli that the Navy Department wili see fit to include “Say au Revoir but Not Good-bye” in the program. ————_---—____ Mr. Bryan eloquently declares that Thomas Jefferson still lives. This may be true, but if it is, the gentleman is traveling incognito. —————+>see—____- Twelve more men were hired on the post office building today, making a total of two hundred and one at work.

The crowds who were present at the ex- ercises upon Devoration Day show how thoroughly Americanized this community is. The ceremonies of the day are essen- tially American, and the ilea of honoring the dead who fell in the civil war is es- sentially so. But those who formed the procession were not all Americans. It was not formed only of the marines and sailors of the American men-of-war in port, and the remnant of veterans that the on-roll- ing years have left. The regular troops of the Republic of Hawali were there, the volunteer forces, ihe representatives of the Citizens Guard and the President and members of the cabinet. Among these were men of varied nation- ality, Hawaiians of pure and mixed blood, and Europeans from many countries, rep- resentatives of republics and monarchies across the seas who believe in and honor American institutions. These men not only are ready to shew honor to the memory of America’s dead, but, what is far more to the purpose, they are ready to shew. honor to her living institutions! The Americanizing of the islands is a living fact, not a theoretic possibility, and it has permeated through every class and nationality here. ——>+e____ The United States Mast Dominate. From the Cincinnati! Enquirer. Japan, since she defeated the hordes of China, has been rather saucy about Hawail. It is probable that the new republic would be helpless and subject to being overrun by the Japanese were it not for the protec- tive position of the United States, under- stood but not existing in reality. The prac- tical control our government exercises over the islands by moral influence may not last always. The time will probably soon come when we must annex, declare a protecto- rate or permit foreign domination over a people who are trying to profit by the ex- ample of the greatest republic of all time. —_> 0 >_____ The Annexation of Hawaii. From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. The annexation of Hawaii under these circumstances would be in harmony with our national, political and social aspira- tions. No doubt the time will come when having thrown off ‘the yoke as have the Hawalians, the Cubans will desire closer relations with the United States than are possible so long as home rule is a vision and Spanish misruie a fact. ——_o+e—____.
