As a News and Advertising Medi it has no competitor. t7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to not be addressed connected with the the Editorial or B Mr. Gorman appears today in an entirely new role. The scheming politician gives place to the unselfish patriot. The con- itructor of the Maryland platform has had ivision. The platform is a failure as linked with his personal fortunes. The country pt it except as a shrewd bid to secure another term in the Sen- ate, and as such he has every redson to believe it will fail of its purpose. The sound money democrats of Maryland will not respond to ft at that valuation. So Mr. Gorman announces that he will take himself out of the way. He will not stand for re-election to the Senate. The party has already honored him far beyond his erts or expectations, and so forth, and so forth. And then his health is none of the best, and he must look out for that. The story comes through the channel*of an unnamed friend. And this friend im- proves the occasion to dip into a bit of his- tory. It seems that Mr. Gorman had this me unselfish patriot play in mind two ars ago. At that time Maryland was -mocratic, and had been so, largely through his instrumentality, for years. But there were signs of dissension from his lead in the party. It was given out then, as now. that he had determined togive up party responsibilities, and that it was his duty to announce the fact to his constitu- ents. His lieutenants heard of the matter im the nick of time, and they made a rush for him. They labored with him; showed him how such an announcement would in- jure the party's prospects, and probably bring about defeat. He listened. He finally elded. Ever thinking of his party and ‘ver of himself, he agreed that ¥ his plans carried any risk whatever for his party he would abandon them. And he did. But now the time has come, the hour has struck. He owes something to himself, and, realizing this, he takes the public into modestly, through a friend, that he will not stand for his confiden and announces re-el ction. What an adroit of play! But we all know what will happen. His declination ofr nm has the familiar string to it. Imagine a democratic legislature elected in Maryland this year after a campaign con- ducted under Mr. Gorman’s direction, and then imagine the fate of a proposition to jecti bestow the Senatorship on anybody else but Mr. Gorman. +o. —___ Arbitration. been announced that Japan's agree- itrate her dispute with Hawaii is conditional. No relable details of the conditions proposed have been made public, but it has been intimated that Japan wishes to include arbitration of the question of the Hawaiian import duty on sake, and to ob- tain a guarantee from the United States of the recognition and satisfaction of any judgment which she may secure in the court of arbitration. It is not clear on what grounds Japan can base a request that an Independent government shall arbitrate with her either the items or the rates of that government's schedules of duties on imports. Such questions are decided by each nation for itself. If another power is unfavorably affected in trade by this do- mestic le ion it may verbally remon- strate or re te in kind by discriminating legislation. But that an independent gov- ernment should submit to any other power 4s arbitrator the decision of the character of its revenue legislation is inconceivable. Japan has probably made no such extra- vrdinary request. The only question open to arbitration is whether the Japanese who were denied id- mittance to the Hawalian Islands and were tent back to Japan to their pecuniary in- jury are entitled in equity to be reimbursed by Hawaii for the damages thus inflicted, and, if so, what is the proper amount cf such indemnity. Hawaii could not submit the claim of irrevocable Asiatic rights in the Islands to European determination, and America would not recognize any European decision upon this subject. But if a regularly constituted court of arbitra tion should decide that Hawaii was for any Treason equitably indebted in a_ stated’ amount to certain Japanese subjects, the United States would properly assume this lability in annexing the Islands. In the prospective union Uncle Sam is to take Hawaii “for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer. The bride brings with her a rich dowry, and Uncle Sam will undoubt- edly pay her just debts without hesitation. ——_~+e Perhaps Foultz Can Now Be Found. The police have finally captured “Pat” Carr. They found him within a quarter of a mile of the scene of the crime and iscovered that he had been concealed un- T their very noses all the time. His ap- prehension suggests that it would perhaps be advisable for the officers of the second precinet to ascertain if Dorsey Foultz, who started the fashion of escaping in this vi- cinity, is net now at mome. Carr seems to have shrewdly reasoned that Washington was the safest place for him, and that it would be foolish for him to go wandering about the country where some officious stranger might arrest him. A woman's keen eyes first discoverei him, and an un- official citizen captured hi His arrest under the circumstances .eflects no credit on official Washington to counterbalance the discredit of his escape. —— The people of South Africa and Crete would rel more confidence in Great Britain's professions of piety if that gov- ernment confined its ‘ttention less closely to the ceremony of taking up a collection. ——_~++e+ Senator McEnery at Home. The speech delivered last night by Sena- tor McEnery befcre the Choctaw Club ot ans, explaining his position on the stion and his vote on the Dingley . Was a frank and manly deliverance which deserves to increase his power at home as it is certain to increase respect for him elsewhere. Mr. McEnery was the only democratic Senator who voted for the Dingley bill, and his course, he told his constituents jast night, was dictated by two reasons: (1) The bill carried substantial protection to the in- terests of the whcle country, the south’s interests along with the others. He con- sidered that the south’s present interests needed protection. The south as a huge plantation had no stake in pro-ection. But that day had passed, and now when her manufacturing and mineral interests were to be considered, thelr development could only >be secured sy the means that had proved successful elsewhere. (2) What he was asking and assisting ig obtaining for his section he was willing to vote to bestow upon other sections. The sugar interests of Louisiana had no greater claim upon the consideration of the protection sentiment of Congress than had the different inter- ests of other states represented in that body. Mr. McEnery’s reference to the Sugar Trust was equally clear and to the point. He explained to his hearers the fight that the Trust made in the Senate and the de= feat to which, in the end, the Trust wag. obliged to go. He praised the sugar seiied- ule prepared by the House, and declare, that {t eliminated all Trust influences, which’ had been so potent in the previous Con-| gress and been able to dictate the sugat schedule of the Wilson bill. Of the aménd- ment offered by the democrats, to restore the ad valorem duties “of the Wilson bill, Mr. McEnery pointed out that “It received the support of the opponents of the bill and the Sugar Trust, for no better schedule could have been asked by the Trust. It was the schedule which it dictated, and the one under which it so rapidly progressed to power and influence. When Mr. McEnery voted for the Dingley bill The Siar promptly extended to him its felicitations upon the courage and con- sistency of his conduct. It now renews, with pleasure, the assurance of its very great respect. If the south would give less heed to theories and theorists, and send more men of the McEnery type to Congress, she would rapidly resume her old time power in natioral affairs, and in doing so advance her own materfal prosperity an hundred- fold. ——___+<+____ The Real Champions. Ever since the announcement of the Judges in the interstate military drill at San Antonio, Texas, giving second place to the Morton Cadets of this city and first place to a Texas company notoriously in- ferior to the Mortons, there has been a strong feeling on the part of the Washing- ton people that the local boys did not re- ceive fair treatment in the scoring and the awards. This belief was inspired by the fact that the winning company was the only one of ail the entries to give a certain peculiar and, it was thought, strained con- struction to certain orders on the list. It was purely a technical matter, and only those intimately acquainted with the de- tails of military drill could well take part in the controversy. Yet the feeling that the award was unfair was general and was not confined alone to this city, being shared by the citizens of St. Paul, Galveston, Omaha, and other places that sent com- peting companies to San Antonio. Yester- day’s Star contained testimony on this point that amply justifies the suspicion and warrants the belief that if the scoring and judging had been fairly conducted the Mor- ton Cadets would have been reawarded the championship cup and the first prize, three times in amount that which was given to them. Captain French, as recorder of the tactical board that ‘arranged the present rill book of the army, on which the con- test at San Antonio was based, is as well qualified to sveak in the case as any other person, and his words seem to indi- cate that in the matter of interpreting the program the Washington commander was right and the Austin captain was wrong. it has been admitted by the judges that the scoring on interpretation was what pulled the Mortons down and pushed the Gov- ernor’s Guards of Austin up, and thus from the evidence of a better authority than the judges it is plain that in equity and fair- n the championship and first prize should nave gone to the Washington com- mand. Of course it is not now in order to Secure a reversal of the decision, but it is comforting to the local friends of the Mor- tens and to the other competitors in vari- ous parts of the country to realize that the awards at San Antonio were not indicative of the real merits of the contestants. So A Commendable Collision. The action of the Navy Department in the case of Captain Sigsbee, commander of the Maine, who recently ran his vessel into a whart to prevent a collision with a crowded excursion steamer, deserves gen- eral commendation. Captain Sigsbee is en- titled to credit not alone for his coolness in an emergency and his plucky invitation to criticism in the effort to save human I but he should be thanked for intro- ducing a striking novelty in the way of naval accidents. The records in this line are distressingly monotonous. They tell of ships of war run on reefs, cruisers ram- ming garbage scows, battleships attacking sand banks, gunboats sinking schooners, until the mind whirls in trying to compre- hend the vast possibilities of the naval ser- vice. But Captain Sigsbee, doubtless’ ap- preciating the desire of the American pub- lic for novelties, has established a new standard of conduct for naval commanders. His action in the recent affair was particu- larly worthy of high praise because of the general lack of precedents. The situation on the Fast River was certainly perplexing. Though he had the right of way he was confronted by a puzzling tangle of excur- sion boats, ocean liners, tugs, scows, rafts and other obstacles to a dignified course down stream. One of the excursion boats, not appreciating the importance of giving so ponderous a vessel as the Maine a wide berth, took long chances and it was a que: tion of inches whether a collision would re- sult. The commander of the Maine was confronted by two alternatives, to proceed on his course and perhaps sink the excur- sion boat, or to turn in toward shore and damage his own ship and the wharves and their contents. He chose the latter and by a merciful Providence escaped with slight damage both to the Maine and to the pri- vate property into which she crashed. This course doubtless saved scores of human lives, and it is cheering to note that the de- partment, instead of ordering the usual court of inquiry and subsequent court mar- tial, has appraised the action at its right valuation. -—+ 02 —___——_ The police of the second precinct can ease themselves of their discomfiture here- after by an exceedingly strict enforcement of the hack regulations against Driver Beuchert. ——___ 2+ = —___ So far Tesla’s mysterious world-girdling electrical project seems to ave reached only the Keeley motor stage of great prom- ises and no performances. ———»+e+2e—__ The opinion exists that while Mr. Gor- man is personally unfavorable to free sil- ver, he is not so pigoted as to refuse the votes of its advocates. After Englishmen Now. It is reported from Havana that General Weyler is trying to find the author of some letters written in that city on war topics which have recently appeared in the Lon- den Chronicle. His intention is to banish the correspondent from the island. The letters have dealt as severely with the Weylerian campaign and “practices as did those that long preceded them to American newspapers, The Star among the number, and General Weyler considers that they do “great harm to Spain's financial interests abroad.” The Spanish commander's objection to newspapers, 1t must be admitted, ts nat- ural enough They have uncovered all of his hideous performances in Cuba, and aroused the sympathy of people on both sides of the Atlantic for the insurgents. They have succeeded in doing this, too, against his most strenuous efforts to balk and bully their representatives, and to keep the history of his bloody work hid fem the outside world. The credit of this achievement is due to American newspa- pers. They were the first in the field, and the first to arouse and to encounter Gen- eral Weyler’s displeasure. He began the banishment of American correspondents over a year ago. If the turn of English- men, too, has come, they are to be cou- gratulated. They will find themselves in excellent company for telling the truth. But it is absurd for General Weyler to svppose that at this late day the financial werld outside of Spain is dependent for cenviction as to his failure in Cuba upon newspaper letters from Havana. Those letters simply give details of what is al- ready past dispute. That he has failed, ard that the Spanish situation in the island is desperate, are well established facis. European bankers and money lenders know that the war has been in progress for two years, that Spain has sent over two hun- dred thousand men to the island, that the insurgents are still in the field as resolute as ever, and that General Weyler has noth- ing to show for his waste of men and treasure. Is anything more necessary to warn them against advancing any more money except upon terms of their own dic- tation for carrying on such a losing ven- ture? His solicitude for Spain's credit comes after her credit has practically been ex- hausted. She cannot raise a dollar now ex- cept upon gilt-edged paper. But as General Weyler finds it impossi- ble to banish the insurgents, it may be just as well for him to go on banishing newspaper correspondents. That gives him the appearance of being active, and serves to keep his name before the public. ——>+2—____ Cecil Rhodes will hardly doubt the exist- erce of a few mental reservations in con- nection with the censure of his conduct in South Africa. —>+o—____ It may be predicted that if both men take part in the Ohio campaign, Mr. Bryan will average about sixteen speeches to President McKinley’s one. ———_-ee—___ The District government is‘doing all that could reasonably be expected to keep politi- cal interest from flagging during the ab- sence of Congress. a Brightwood can at least congratulate it- self on the fact that it will not have to wait years to have its new post office built. ————_eo____ any demonstration, but it is to be assumed that they are “rooting” ‘for the Japanese. : ——_+e2—___ It fs inaccurate to say that lives are lost in attempts to reach the North Pole.

When you feel your fingers tingling with a Iterary shiver, And you long to taste the pleasures of re- to utter thoughts and set this sluggish world a-quiver, And electrify the country and the town, Do not think te win your way by gathering stores of erudition, Nor by weaving plots that picture human fate; You'll discover in contrition, you're regard- ed with suspicion As a prating, posing pedant, out of date. But on the other hand, you'll meet with a success surprising By looking to your personal career. ‘A political pretense may serve as first-rate advertising, And divorces are effective, though they’re dear. Don’t attempt to dole out wisdom like a prophet or a cadi; if you do your cherished work is sure to fail. But assassinate a lady, or do anything that’s shady, And whatever you may write will have a sale. ——__+ oe —_____ ‘Tesla Wandering Among the Im- mensities, irom the Philadelphia Press. Nikola Tesla is to the electrical world somewhat of a poetic mystery. His claims are extraordinary, his public demonstra- tions fascinating in their weird and marvel- ous characteristics, but somehow or other there is lack of the practical in so many of his announced discoveries that they be- ccme progressively unsatisfactory. Roent- gen made a discovery, made a modest an- nouncement and today it is put to practical and universal use. Even Marconi has made actual use of his invention, but Tesla seems to be dealing with such immensities that they refuse to be harnessed for every- day affairs, and apparently, while they away disturb the moon in its orbit, have little to do with a grad-grind world. In other words the world usuuily wants to deal with a foree that is felt “somewhere” rather than with one felt “everywhere.” —__ + ee —____ Convicts Building a Bicycle Path. From the New York Herald.
