For several days prior to the President's departure, scenes were witnessed at the White Hous? which testified strongly to @ tate of affairs upon the existence of which the country has every reason to congratu- late Itself. Pulitical leaders of every shade of opinion called to say good-by, and to wish the President a safe journey and @ pleasant vacation. They, too, were on the eve of leaving town. Congress had com- pleted the work of the extra session, and ‘they were once more free. There had been scme warm partisan contests over the work performed. Both the free traders and the free silver republicans had resisted with energy the President's tariff policy and paid their respects to it in language the most emphatic. But not the slightest per- sonal feeling had been aroused. His most vigorous opponents still held the President himself in friendly mind. It is unnecessary” to add that when they presented themselves before him they were greeted cordially by the President, and that he exchanged good wishes with them in all sincerity. ‘This sort of thing ought not to call for special remark. It is strictly the American way. It is deservedly one of the boasts of our system of government that it admits at one and the same time of the sturdiest contentions and the warmest personal at- tachments between political opponents. ‘There have been many sigral instances of the truth of this. But it is unforturiately a fact that for several years past there has not been any good feeling betwe:n Con- gress and the executive. A decided cool- ness, indeed, has existed, and was carried so far in some cases that prominent sen- ators and representatives discontinued their visits to the White House altogether. They ould not go even to present a constituent. They frankly asserted in explanation of their course that Mr. Cleveland had simply made it impossible for them to approach kim with any comfort to themselves, and "many more democrats than republicans Were of the number. Mr. McKinley has completely removed the barrier. Nobody is chilled now. Republi- cans, democrats, populists, all call, and all are made welcome. Nor is it felt to be or meant to be an idle or insincere ceremony. The President had made the advances in his cordial verbal messages when notified that Congress awaited his pleasure, and the members of both houses responded by of- fering him their hands and fervent good wishes. The situation is one calling for general felicitation. ———~++e—___ Fighting Over a Political Plam. Mr. Bond of Maryland, who was made sealer of weights and measures for the District as a reward for democratic polit- ical services, refuses to withdraw volun- tarily in order to permit Mr. Haske!l of Ohio to be rewarded with the same office for political services rendered to the re- publican party, and Senator Gorman, who cwned the office under a democratic ad- ministration, seeks to repel with political fisticuffs the efforts to secure possession made by Senator Hanna, who 1s to own the office under a republican administration. At thai time in the perhaps remote future When the republican party shall be routed @i the polls this fragment of the spoils of office will in turn be wrested from the hands of Senator Hanna, and be used to feed a striker for some other Senator. Tits petty local office will thus in ac- cordance with the fixed precedent be tossed alternately to political parties and succes- sively to the states of the Union, a relic end reminder in the most offensive shape of the spoils system of office distribution, end of the hypocrisy and deceit of the pledges of political platforms. To put a stop to the present wrangle and to prevent future fighting over this very small and dry specimen of political plum the wisest pian of the administra- tion would be to withdraw it entirely from the spoils category, to place it irrevocably among the offices in respect to which the home-rule pledges ef the platform should not be falsified, and to appoint to fill it a District man, who is acquainted with the local business conditions with which he Tust deal, and who knows something about weights and measpres, even if he is not an pert in the handling of primaries, either republican or democratic. ——~+ee—___. Bombast. It would be difficult to imagine a more absurd end reprehensible attempt to create an international sensation than the state- ment published yesterday setting forth in somewhat bombastic phrases that Japan had offered “a deliberate and premeditated insult to the United States” in failing to require the Japanese merchant vessels in the harbor of Yokohama to “dress ship” on the Fourth of July, when at sunrise, 4:30 o'clock, on that day the American flag- ship Olympia was dressed for the celebra- tion, as the rules of the serviée provide: It does not clearly appear whether the ad- miral in command at Yokohama or some excitable outside expounder of interna- tional law is resporsible for this construc- tion of what constitutes “‘a studied and in- tentional insult,” but whoever it may be it is to be hoped that his friends will lose no time in making an application of ice to his seething brain, and send him to a cold storage warehouse. It is both cruel and unsafe to allow such sillybillies to be at large in hot weather. ——++2e—_____ The suddenness with which the Presi- dent's currency message wad disposed of 1s not to be regarded as a Gemonstration of any of Mr. Hobart’s ideas for expediting business in the Senate. ———_—- «= ___ Land-Grabbing. Now, when the Unitrétf States is under the eccusation of having embarked on a land- grabbing policy—and the English press has bad something to say on the point—the story of the little island of Palmyra in the Pacific serves very well the purposes of illustration. The island is a rocky spot, of little value. Though situated a.long distance from the Hawaiian group proper, it was for a time classed with that group. Some years ago— ten, maybe>-an English ship dropped enchor there, and the captain, finding no- Lody at home, or with spirit enough to Offer objection, put up the usual English Notice: “This is mine;” signed, J. Bull. It ‘was a thoroughly characteristic perform- ance. Here was a little island lying around loose. It was of little or noeconsequence. It could not probably be converted into G@nything of value. But here it was, handy to be taken in, and John Bull took it in. The affair created no stir. Hawali—the monarchy was then in existence—sald nothing. Japan, of course, said nothing, for at that time Japan had no voice in out- Gide matters. Any talk from her about preserving the status quo in the Pacific Would fm that day have raised doubts as to her sanity. No protest was heard from any quarter, and John Bull's notice stuck, and his sovereignty in the {sland continued. ‘That was @ case of land-grabbing, pure and simple—e characteristic chapter in his- tory which England has written all over the world. She has never failed to fasten on unprotected or unclaimed territory any- where when it appeared to serve her pur- Pose to do so. She has frequently gone further than that, and where the territory was desirable has picked a quarrel with the.owners and driven them off. The ac- quirement and expansion of many of her colonial possessions is stained with the most reprehensible highhandedness. When has the United States so offended? What acre of her territory has been ac- quired after this English fashion? What American captain would have gone ashore from his ship and raised the Stars and Stripes over the little island of Palmyra? Had any such captain done so, would it have been sufficient for him to explain that as the island seemed to be without an owner he decided to give it one? American captains have never been afloat with any such general authority in their pockets, or with any assurance of being sustained at home in the execution of such an act. There is not, of course, anything in the slightest degree resembling land-grabbing or highhandedness in the course of the United States toward Hawaii. The whole transaction has been open and regular, and founded upon the best principles of Progress and mutual benefit. Hawail, a responsible government, with a recognized if modest place in the family of nations, has proposed union with the United States, and the United States has accepted the offer. That is the whole story, and a clearer or more creditable one does not ap- pear in any country’s history. —~+e—___. A Famous Embezzlement Recalled. Suits have been filed at Frankfort, Ken- tucky, to collect insurance policies issued on the life of James W. Tate to the amount of twelve thousand dollars. The insurance companies will resist the suits, and some sensational developments are promised. Tate was for many years state treasurer of Kentucky. A genial man, of education and the highest social position, he became irresistible in his races for treasurer, de- feating strong men with ease both in the primartes and at the regular elections. His friends called him “Dick,” and universal faith in the man supplied the word ‘‘Hon- est,” and so he came to be known in cam- paign years as “Honest Dick” Tate. He was the prince of story-tellers, the best- natured of men, and an accountant of ex- cellent capacity. His famWy consisted of a wife and daughter, his home was the resort of the best and brightest people, and, thus situated, he had everything to make a man of his temperament happy and to hold him to his duty. But one fine morning the state had a shock from which it did not recover for a very long time. “Honest Dick” Tate turned out to be an embezzler to the amount of fully three hundred thousand dollars. There were next to no particulars. The money was gone, and Tate was gone. He disappeared almost between suns, and no trace of him was to be found anywhere. A rigid Investigation as to the missing funds brought little to light. Tate, so far as krown, kad not been a speculator; he had not lived extravagantly; his tipple had been mild and his indulgence moderate, and his limit at draw poker had always been low. What then could such a man have done with three hundred thousand dollars of trist money? The question to this day remains unanswered. And the state re- mains out of pocket. Some defect in Tate's bend enabled his sureties to evade respon- sibility. It is now ten years since Tate disap- peared. Rumor from time to time has located him in one distant country or ap- other, but no Kentuckian has ever laid eyes on him since then. His family re- mained in Frankfort, and enjoyed the syme pathy of the whole community. The wife is now dead. The daughter survives and is married, and these suits on these life in- strance policies are brought in her nam2 and for her benefit. It ts claimed that Tate died in Japan. The insurance companies are of opirion that he Is still alive. —_++2»—___ Misdirected Ingenuity. The basswood ham and the wooden nut- meg attest to the cleverness of Connecticut ingenuity, but the latest invention from that state does not bear out Its general repute. A Greenwich man has discovered a means of providing rapid transit without the use of rails, and yet without relying upon storage batteries, compressed air, gasoline or any other similar agencies. He uses electricity straight from an overhead trolley wire, calling his’ device an electric stage, and he believes that he has solved the great transportation problem of the age. The greater part of the rest of the world has been seeking some means of getting rid of the overhead wires, not the rails. With the medern rail shaped to offer a minimum obstruction of the passage of vehicles, and with the art of pavement mak- ing perfected so as to effect a harmonious union between street surface and rail, the laying of tracks in a city street is a nui- sance of slight consequence, save for the temporary inconvenience caused by the work. The Greenwich man’s device con- sists of the stringing of two chargéd wires at the usual height above the street level, suspended from the ordinary trolley pole and connected with the vehicle by a flexible conductor wound on a spring drum. The stage is of the average horseless car- riage pattern, supplied with the motor usually carried by a trolley car. Au inge- nious arrangement enables the running of stages in opposite directions along the game street, with the same set of wires. The advantage of this new scheme is that the stages can be run to the curbs to taxe on or let off passengers, and can be steered here and there along the established route, as convenience may direct. The inventor claims that the absence of rails will insure the general adoption of the system by cities that do not wish their streets occu- pied by tracks. He will find a far greater market for a device that will attack the problem from the other side and obviate the use of heavily charged aerial wires. There is far more demand for this elimina- tion than for the other. 2 0-e Theatrical managers, whose business is the first to feel hard times and the slowest to recover, are making their arrangements for the coming season with the belief that @ reaction from the recent depression will set in. The public will rejoice if it can hail these gentlemen as reliable prophets. —_++e—_—__ Oleomargarine. ‘The internal revenue receipts for the fiscal year 1896-7 fell off $211,104 from those of the year previous. The decrease is found in various lines of taxable commodities, but it is marked in the case of oleomar- garine. On this commodity the collections amounted to $1,034,129, or $185,302 less than the year previous. The questfdn arises whether this decrease was due to a corre- sponding decreese .n the amount of oleo- margarine consumed or to a falling of in the amount of that material presented under its proper name. The latter sus- Picion is justified by the knowledge that many frauds are committed in the name of butter, and that the internal revenue bu- THE EVENING STAR, ae JULY 30, 1897—12 PAGES. - and the market for it is large and, pre- sumably, growing. It is therefore ditfoult to boileve that the decrease in the reve- nue receipts during the past fiscal year has been due to a falling cff in the output of oleomargarine. It is plain that the makers and wholesalers and even the re- tailers of this article are strongly tempted to disavow its real character and to put it on the market as butter, obtaining for it a much higher price than for the ac- knowledged imitation, and thus doubling or even trebling their legitimate profits. If the law has been evaded and defied to the extent that this decrease would serve to indicate it is high time for an example to be made of the fraudulent dealers, and the District is the best possible place in which to begin operations. There is no lack of-strong evidence in these pending local cases, and perhaps if the prosecutions were taken up yigorously at the opening of the fall term of court and pressed to a finish, supplemented by severe sentences when convictions are obtained, next year’s balance sheet of the internal revenue bu- reau would show a marked increase under the head of this item. oo Perhaps Bismarck, at his coming meeting with the German emperor, can flatter the young gentleman into the belief that he ought to devote all his time to poetry and painting. ———_>+e—____ ‘With Senator Foraker and Senator Hanna on amicable terms, it is hard to see why this Hatfield-McCoy nonsense should not be peaceably adjusted.

A Warm-Weather Visit. “It’s none of my business,” said the man who had boats for hire, “but I'd like to know why you took this boat, rowed out to the other side of the lake, stared at the water and then came right back.” E “Well, it's hard to explain. I’m not very sentimental, as a rule; but I wanted to re- call the dear days of yore, when life was so different. As near as I could locate it, the spot I was looking at was where I broke through and nearly got drowned in ice water last winte Time Needed. “What do you think about Si Perkins’ plan to go tc the Alaska mines?’ asked Farmer Corntossel. “I dor't think there’s any sense in tryin’ to form an opinion fur at least six months,” replied his Wife. “Then the neighborhood’ll know whether to refer to Si as a man of ‘extraordinary foresight’ or ‘another deluded victim.’ ” Wisttulness, When the mercury is waiting Just at seventy or so And you find a gladsome respite From the cruel summer's glow, A regret comes stealing o'er you As you watch the sunbeams play And you sigh in mournful accents, “If ‘twould only stay this wa: ‘When your purse at last is heavy With a long-expected sum, And the right is yours to mingle With life’s pleasures as they come, You behold the threatening shadow Of the dreaded “rainy day; And you count your store and murmur “If 'twould only stay this way!” When the world is smiling fondly And the days like dream-light shine, And the things you’ve wished for cluster Like th@fruit upon the vine, Then you think of bleak November And the waste, where all was gay.
