That demand will undoubtedly be made and pressed. There is nothing at issue between this gov- ernment and Japan but the question of an- nexing the Hawaiian Islands. A treaty has been signed and annexation will be certain to follow. Japan has been notified that her tights In the islands will be respected. Mr. Sherman's letter on the subject of preserv- ing seal life states a series of facts In a plain but by no means insulting way. This pother about the form of the letter leads to the belief that the substance cannot safely be tackled by England. As for the tariff, the policy of protection has been the American policy so long that the enactment of the Dingley bill needs no explanation. Wherein, therefore, has the United States 1 offended any of these nations? We are not trying to pick a quarrel with anybody. Neither do we expect a quarrel in the na- ture of war to result from any step that has been taken in any matter meftioned in this London cable. War is not on the cards of the United States in any calculations now being made. But, of course, the busi- ness of this government will be conducted in the American way, and there need be no mistake on that point. There are some sharp divisions about domestic policies, but toward all foreign powers the people of the United States present practically a solid front. With a good American in the White House, the good Americans in both parties—and they are overwhelmingly in the majority there—stand ready to sup- port him in any step he has taken or may take in vindication of American rights and in furtherance of wise and progressive policies.

[ln order to avot oh ee al ce, lette Sun Sra cues id mot be addressed ected with the te THE STAR, or to Business Depart- tenor or purpose. Next Year's Meeting of Teachers. Preparations are now under way to secure, if possible, the selection of Wash- {ngton as the meeting place of the National Educational Association next year. At the Milwaukee convention the choice of the next meeting place was left to the execu- tive committee of the organization, with instructions to select that city desiring the honor which made the mest attractive offer. The committee will visit Washington on its rounds next month and the local endeavor now is to present such a showing that the capital will distance all compet- itors. This should be a relatively easy task, for Washington already has an estab- lished reputation as a convenient and hos- pitable convention city, yet the competition is brisk and the reasons to be presented to the executive committee by the local com- mittee must be substantial and alluring. ‘The factors that enter most largely into the matter are the railroad rates to and from the convention, the rates that will be charged here by the hotels and boarding houses, and the accommodations to be furnished for the sessicns of the associa- ea a tion.

Col. Bing- ham in his report speaks of the lack of fountains and makes some valuable sug- gestions for supplying the deficiency. ‘The Star recently printed the communication of a citizen who complained of the removal of the fountain frem Iowa Circle to make room for the statue of Gen. Logan, soon to be erected there. To some eyes an ar- Ustically arranged fountain with its jet of water, its basin filled with aquatic plants and its rim bordered with flowers, is & thing of greater beauty than the average bronze statue. The artistic standards al- ready established here in the parks and reservations by statues and monuments are none to high to prohibit this comparison. There {s, however, no irrepressible conflict between the fountain and statue. Both are to be Hberally and artistically employed in the adornment of Washington. Col. Bingham’s proposition to establish a num- ber of electric fountains in various parts of the city is an excellent one. It aims first at the avoidance of a prodigal waste of the water and then at the establish- ment of methods of illumination that are unknown at present in Washington. It is fortunate that the superintendent does not confine himself to a notice of the larger res- ervations, but advises the improvement of the many small “parklets,” as he terms them, at the intersection of streets and ave- nues, which are now utterly neglected and are in many cases eye-sores rather than the garden spots into which they could be transformed at a slight cost. ‘The recom- endations contained in this report, even it carried out only in part, would add so ma- terlally to the attractiveness of the city that Congress would never regret the nec- essary appropriations. —_++2—____. If the worst comes to worst, this couatry might annoy Japan by getting up a bel- Ugerency partnership in which China fur- nishes the capital and this country the brains. —___ + +e —____ The Smoke Nuisance. A communication was printed in The Star the other day from a resident who com- plained of the soot constantly sifted upon him and his premises by a neighboring ice-making plant. This experience is shared doubtless by many citizens in other sections, for the smoke nuisance is stead- ily growing, in the absence of a restrictive law such as has been adopted in some other municipalities. There ts little chance for redress or relief under the existing statutes or police regulations, though the Jaw under which the latter are framed gives the Commissioners the right to adopt and enforce rules for the preservation of prop- erty and health. By a stretch of this pro- vision some sort of regulation might per- haps be drawn, but there is no fund from which an inspector of furnaces and chim- neys could be paid, and under the circum- Stance it is probably necessary that Con- Bress should come to the rescue with a careful law stating the restrictions to be Placed upon the use of soft coal in large qvantities and perhaps stipulating the style of furnaces to be used. It is to be remem- bered that in this matter the presence or absence of souty smoke depends upon the kind of grate used, the methods of stoking employed and the degree of care ex- ercised in the management of the furnace. These factors make it advisable that the District should have constantly on duty an officer qualified to pass upon the me- chanical points involved and capable of discriminating between an objectionable srroke and a harmless emission from the chimneys. —>+e—____ ‘The refusal of Prince Henry of Orleans to fight with a gentleman of inferior rank sUgBESsts a very sensible rule for duellists.

In yesterday’s New York Sun appeared a London cable bearing upon interpretations which it was stated are being put in Lon- don, Berlin, Paris and Vienna on the ar- titude of the United States with regard to certain foreign questions. Said the Sun's correspondent: _ The tmpression that the people of the United States are determined to pick a quarrel with somebody is gaining ground quite rapidly in Europe, especially within the past few days, and it is being indus- triously fostered by the English press. It is important thet tbie fact be promptly tecognized in America and as promptly dealt with, for it is just as possible to Gamage the reputation of a nation as of an individual, and the consequences are much More serious. * * * Recent episodes with Spain, Japan and England, and the general plan of the new tariff bill, of course, fur- nish the points on which the indictment is based. * * * It ts this campaign which should be met before it goes further, and it should Le met by a@ decisive declaration which will silence the detractors of Ameri- can character in Europe.” How should the campaign be met? What sort of declaration could be made that would silence these detractors of the United States? There is not a single point enum- ————++s—___ The new tariff bill has at least main- tained a better average of speed in its construction than the city post office. — 2 —___ The Gold Democrats. The plans of the gold democrats for this year’s state campaigns are now formally announced. Tickets are to be put into the field, and active canvasses made. The leaders declare that it is time for those of their faith “to stand up and be counted.” They express the belief that in at least three states, Ohio, Iowa, and Kentucky, they will poll a very large vote, and demon- strate that, in comparison with the returns of last year, silver is losing its hold on the democratic perty. This movement ought to insure republi- can success. If these men are as numerous as they believe themselves to be, and their organization is made ag complete as they have it in their power to make it, the silver tickets that have been put up cannot win. ‘The republicans will have only to adjust their local differences and get their votes to the polls to carry the day. In Iowa and Ohio there is good prospect of this, and while the republican situation in Kentucky is not so promising, as the result of some flerce fighting over spoils, it ought to im- prove under the ineptration of this still more bitter struggle in progress within the camp of the democracy. Mr. Bynum, in explating his party's pro- one of education. He says: “‘We expect to show in elections like those In Ohio, Kentucky ‘and Iowa that we hold the balance of power, and that it is impos- sible for @ so-called democratic ticket to win on a@ free silver platform. If it cau win after such @ fight as we will make; there is no reason for the existence of this movement, and we will go out of business.” This is not as clear as might be. One can understand what will follow in case the hopes and expectations of the gold demo- crats are realized. If it proves to be true that they hold the balance of power—that by standing together they are able to de- feat the silver men—they will of course execute the same maneuver next year in the Congress elections, and again in 1900 in case another national campaign is made on the silver issue. But suppose they are dis- appointed. Suppose the results show that they do not hold the balance of power. Suppose silver musters strong’ this year, and scores a victory. What then? What does Mr. Bynum mean by the phrase “‘go- Ing out of business?” If they lose this year, will he and his friends then go over frankly and fully to the republicans? Or will they surrender to the Bryanites and return home? This one fact cannot be blinked or suc- cessfully disputed? The republican party will continue to be, as it was last year, the hope and mainstay of the sound money cause. Its success will mean sound money success; its defeat, a distinct triumph and encouragement for silver. There were many points about the sugar schedule which commanded expert atten- tion. Conspicuous among them were when to buy and when to sell. ——_~>+e—____ Russell Sage’s recent remarks indicate that he is drifting toward the belief that orly the good get rich. —_——_—~-++—____ Only one hundred and ninety-six men Worked today on the post office building. —!_>eo____ SHOOTING STARS, Antiquity. “Yes,” remarked a Chicago girl, “he rep- resents one of our oldest families.” “Does he date before the fire?” “No—not quite so far back as that.
