It is to be heped that the republicans of the Senate will deal with the question of ‘Trusts with both earnestness and ability. No mere playing to the galleries will arswer. The demand is rot for something that will sound well, supplying platform akers with a text, ana perfiorid stump erators with a mouthful, but something will “reach the spot” and correct a recognized and growing evil. Of mere fulminaticn there is already a plenty. What is needed is something with hooks to It, which will take hold and hold on. ‘The republican party cannot afford either to ignore or only lightly consider !ts re- sponsibility in this matter. Never were ‘Trusts so conspicuously or so objectionably in evidence as they are at present. The St Trust in particular has at this sion of Congress cut some of its dactous capers. Its preiensions at one time seem to suggest an assumption on its part that it owned the Senate. It was forced, it is true, to modify that assump- ticn, but it is still powerful and full of s.

President's selection of Mr. John ell Young to be the new lbrarian of stess commends itself to approvai both those who know the requirements of the position and those who know the capac- ities of this able journalist ard diplomat. Mr. Young is a man of wide experience in many lines of work, both public and pri- vate. He possess an intimate acquain- tance with national affairs, and has an insight as well into the ways of the Old World. He has traveled extensively, has read voluminously, has written brilliantly wi aid is in addition a man of uess talents such as the soon to be ded duties of the librarian demand. The President might have looked and closely among a multitude of ilities without hitting upon a man so apted in every way to the peculiarly that he is called upon to The library pout to pass new stage of development, and is ith unlimited outlets for e brarian will have many opportunit creative work that were not possible the institution was cramped for room into fee The for and i effi of the library depressing conditicns.

Mr. Spoffor. erefore been doubly valual government and now that he pref. ld the lead to a younger man, with ats specially fitting him to the work of Ceveiopment as well as management, he is entitled to great credit. Mr. Spofford has become thoroughly fdentified with the growth of American literature of the latter half of the present century, and his per- sonal acquaintance with books is a matter ot wide comment. He will be of incal- culable lbrarian, especi- ally at such a time, when intimate knowl- e of the physical details of the great ction will be of moment in the adjust- Trent of the new quarters. The two men will make a strong combination. see Concerning Senator Wellington. The republicans of Maryland are getting very tired of the fussy ill-tempered arrog- ance of Senator Wellington. If a halt is not called at once upon his offensive antics the republican party in Maryland will be hopelessly disruptef under his leadership. — ~s0 —____ The fact that Mr. Debs’ idea Is not origi- nal falls to afford assurance that it will not develop some novel and unexpected styles of trouble. ———_+e+______ San Dominge and Hawalt. ain English newspapers, while ex- ing no objection to the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands by the United States, insist at it will mark a new departure by his rnment, and one in opposition to the views of former American statesmen of great note. Particular reference is made to the defeat of the negotiations about San Domingo, and of the part Mr. Sumner played In that matter, but the reference shews a lac! f information both about Mr. Sumner art about the motives which controlled him in the premises. Mr. Sumner, our English friends may not know, does not rank among American Statesmen of constructive faculty, and therefore of the first class. It is to be doubted, indeed, if the future historian gives him classification as a statesman at all. As well name Wilberforce with Pitt, and Peel, and Canning, and Disraeli, as name Mr. Sumner with Webster, and Clay, and Seward, and Blaine. Mr. Sumner was @ brilliant rhetorician, strong in the key of invective, and he gave his talents to the anti-slavery cause with much success. He was by nature and training and occupation @n agitator. But, like other brilliant mem- bers of the coterie which earned lasting re- rown in the fight against slavery, when that fight was over his us:fulness declined. Wendell Phillips, after the war, chanm- Pioned a dozen different isms of the most @bsurd nature, including that of fiat money, and Mr. Sumner tailed off as only an anti-Grant man, and closed his career touching shoulders with men between whon: and himself there was not a single point of agreement but that of opposition to General Grant. Mr. Sumner opposed the negotiations about San Domingo simply because General Grant inaugurated them. His whole pres And so it is that the work of good j course plainly showed that. His examina- tion of the question was below the level of his intellectual powers. He had enormous personal vanity, and he threw all of that into the scale. His twenty years in the Serate gave him a good deal of power, and he used it. The fight was won in the ex- ecutive sessions of the Senate, where a weil-led minority has many privileges and advantages. The friends of the treaty were in the majority, but they could not sustain themselves against a minority marshaled and ld by one of the greatest speakers in the Senate, who was acting under the spur of a bitter personal feeling. Such was the man and such the motive connected with the opposition to the effort to bring San Domingo under the dominion of the United States Should that record have the slightest influence against this project for the annexation of Hawall? Many American statesmen have seen the importance of the Hawaiian Islands and have favored American supremacy there. Among the number, William L. Marcy, Wil- ligm H. Seward and James G. Blaine. Benjamin Harrison favors annexation. Could the American people ask for higher indorsement than this? And now Wil- liam McKinley and John Sherman add their names to the list. Can Charles Sumner and his hatred of General Grant be ap- Propriately quoted here? And more than that: Is not the best sentiment in the coun- try to-day one of regret that General Grant’s San Domingo policy was defeated? Mr. Sumner, as an anti-slavery agitator, was a man of power, but he did not other- wise impress himself on history, and he left no counsels of value for the country to follow on any other lines. > —____ Early Closing in the Departments. It is to be hoped that Secretary Alger will be able to persuade the President and his colleagues of the cabinet that the de- partments should be closed earlier than usual on Saturdays during the heated term. This was formerly one of the recurring customs of the year, and it was a matter for general regret when President Cleve- land saw fit to abrogate it. It appears that he based his action on an opinion of the then attorney general to the effect that it was unlawful to shorten the hours of clerical labor in this way. Recent research- es in the statutes, however, lead to the be- lief that the law is sufficiently flexible in this regard to place the matter entirely within the jurisdiction of the President with power to close the departments at noon Saturdays if he see proper or to re- quire the clerks to work the entire period of seven hours on that day. The early clos- ing of the great work shops of the govern- ment cne day in the week during the heat- ed season is a good investment. ‘The clerks undoubtedly feel the pressure of their rou- tine of duties more heavily in summer than in any other season, and a few hours of relief each week helps them to sustain the burden. The custom is not urged by its advocates as a matter of right, or somé- thing that the clerks have any reason to expect from their employer, but as a token of the interest which the government takes in its servants. The merchants of all large cities have of late years adopted a rule of early closing Saturdays in summer, and it is a good cxample for the nation to follow. Little expense would be entailed if any and, indeed, it is thought by those who hope to see the custom revived that the clerks do quite as much work in the curtailed week as in the ordinary period. Human ma- chinery requires a certain amount of rest from its grind, and especially in summer time, when the drain upon the nerves is greater than at any other time of the year. ——_+ « > ___ California Speaks for Annexation. The Chamber of Commerce of San Fran- cisco yesterday adopted resolutions urging Congress promptly to bring about the an- nexation of Hawaii, on the broad ground of national policy, prestige and commercial necessity. Thus does the business world of the Pacitic coast rebuke the suggestion that has been made that sentiment there was unfavorable to the union of the re- publics. It is to be noted that the request for Congressional action is elevated from merely local reasons, such as might pos- sibly animate the dwellers in that part of the country lying nearest to the islands, | and is placed upon national grounds. The Californians see this matter as clearly as do the other citizens of the Union. They realize that their ultimately best interests are coincidental with those of the country, and that the United States must in safety j and honor take Hawail into the family. | Thus also does the business body of the Golden State repudiate the movement re- {| cently inaugurated in behalf of the Sugar Trust, seceking to secure the repeal of the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty. A petition Was presented to the Senate by Senator Perkins urging repeal, represented as ex- pressing the sentiment of the mercnanis of California. Name after name has since been withdrawn from that document as its signers have become acquainted with the real object for which it intended. It has since been developed that the netition was the underhand work of Sugar Trust Spreckels to manufacture sentiment and to create in Congress the impresssion that the people and the business men especially of the coast were anxfous that the treaty ghould be annulled. The action of the Chamber of Commerce yesterday serves to show that the attempt has failed and that the scheme has become known in Cali- fornia in time to prevent its success. ——_>re—____ The Shepherd School. Now that the Commissioners have chosen a site for the new school building about to be erected at Eckington they should have no difficulty in the selection of a name for the builéing. The Star recently calied attention to the fact that of all the Public school bulldings in the District, wita their great variety of titles, there is none that bears the name of that governor of the District who practically ensured the beautiful Washingten of today, Alexander R. Shepherd. Many of the former mayors of the city have been thus honored, sev- eral of the Commissioners and other local officials, tut Shepherd's name is conspicu- ous by its absence from the list of public schools. There is no better time than the present to supply this omission. The Com- missioners will only be paying a tardy tribute to one whose work paved the way for the results they are now achieving in the administration of a great modern com- munity. There may be other names in contemplation, those of men more or less closely identified with the history of Wash- ington, but none of these can command so general a commendation for its ap- propriateness as that of Shepherd. ——_+ +e ____ At such a season as the present, It would be nothing less than inhuman in the Prince of Wales to do anything calculated to dis- courage the neglige shirt and the suspen- derless trouser. —_+ +e —___ Cuba on Independence Day. The friends of Cuba are suggesting that Americans who love the cause of liberty should accept the opportunity afforded by Independence Day to give voice to their sentiments in favor of free Cuba. The idea is worthy of consideration. The Fourth of July represents the achievement by the republic of a victory similar to that for which the native Cubans are today striv- ing, and it would not be at all inappropri- ate for those citizens of the United States who favor the success of the insurgent arms in the near-by tsland to add a little ardor to their annual outbursts of patriot- ism in behalf of the suffering subjects of Spain. A general adoption of the idea would result in creating a great wave of Cuban sentiment throughout the country. a a It might not add to the chances of Cuba’s success, or hasten in the Jeast the inter- vention of this country, yet it would serve as a confirmation of the often repeated as- sertion that there is a powerful public opinion in this country in favor of such action. Many mass meetings have been held in different cities, Washington among them, and at each there has been a great outburst of eloquent denuncation of Spain's cruel methods of government and warfare. These meetings have served to counteract in part the insinuations that have been made by pro-Spanish interests that the Cuban sentiment in this country is ficti- tious in the main, and where genuine is confined to a few ultra enthusiasts. The association of pleas for Cuba with the Patriotic expressions incidental to Inde- pendence Day would effectually dispel such @ thought and would stand as a solemn notification to Spain and to the rest of the world that the United States is sincere in its friendship for the people of the island now seeking self-government. ——_++e—_____ er John Russell Young will be an advan- tageous connection of the Congressional Library.

The petition for the abrogation of the reciprocity treaty, on which Senator Per- kins founded his doubts in regard to the reciprocity policy, was small at first, but it is dwindling still further since the list of its signers has been published. Some of the signatures have been canceled because they were “made without authority,” and some because they were made without con- sideration, and the signers, upon reflection, have changed their minds. At this rate there will soon be no names upon the peti- tion except those cf Mr. Spreckels’ tenants and employes, and such members of the Coyote legislature as look to the power cf the Spreckelses for further chance of polit- ical existence. it is but fair to suggest to Senator Per- kins that he can get some light on the sub- ject of annexation by consulting his son. for Mr. L. P. Bolander gives the following explaration of the reason why the signa- ture of the firm of Bolander & Perkins was withdrawn after it had been given: “I saw we had made x mistake, und s0 tele. graphed to have the firm name removed from the Bitition favoring abrogation. - My ‘partner, George Perkins, te a som of the wonaton, He has studied this matter very thoroughly, and "we discussed it together and come to the conclusion that a mistake had ‘been made.” TERS If Senator Perkins has ‘the time to study the matter thoroughly he will come to the same conclusion as the younger member of his family. But if he lacks the opportunity to look fully-into the matter for himself he will do well to take his son's word for it. He will then avoid making a mistake for himself, and one that may be still more serious for the state he repre- sents. —__—_~+ eo Hawa! England, Japan. From the New York Herald.
