Jug-Handled Arbitration. Japan expresses herself as willing to ar- iitrate the immigration controversy with Hawaii on condition that the court to try this int ional Gamage case shall not take into consideration Hawaii's defense. Hawaii refused to permit certain Japan- ese immigrants to land, contending that some of th>m were contract laborers, whose contracts had not been approved by the Hawaiian government, as required by law, and that others were not in the own- hip of $0, which the law makes a con- dition of the admission of an alien to Ha- wali. Some of the latter class had $50 in possession, but the Hawaiian government satisfied itself before rejecting them that the men were paupers, to whom the money 1 been temporarily leaned by the immi- gration company in order to deceive the Hawaiian officials and to evade the law. Japan contended that her people had the right to enter under the treaty of 1871, and that Hawaii's rejection of them was not only in violation of that treaty, but was the more injurious because abrupt and discourteous, unaccompanied by any notice of an intended change of policy. Concerning the applicability of the treaty of IS71 to the controversy Hawaii has added that this treaty applies only to the merchant class, and not to the Japanese laborers to whom entrance has been re- fused. Japan now says that Hawaii in attempt- ing to convince the court of arbitration that it rightfully refused admission to the in.migrants and is not justly accountable to them in damages must not question ihe good faith of those immigrants with $50 in hand who were rejectef@ as alien paupers, attempting a gross fraud; and furthermore that Hawaii must rot meet a reference to the treaty of 1871 in support of the immi- grants by the contention that the treaty is limited in its application to the mer- chant class of immigrants and has no bearing upon the present case. The original proposition of England to arbitrate her claims to land occupied by Venezuela, but to exclude from the arbitra- tion land claimed by Venezuela but occu- pied by her, is now fairly outdone. In the matter of proposing jug-handled arbitra- tions the new Oriental outshines the nervi- est of the Occidentals. It would have been simpler and more direct if Japan had expressed a willingness to submit to arbitration the amount of damages due to it, provided its right to a verdict and some damages was not ques- tioned. —_++e—____ The Air Motors. The compressed air motors are again be- fore the Commissioners in such shape that final action declaratory of their fitness or unfitness fer local use is soon to be ex- ted. The authorities will doubtless con- sider two questions: first, whether the mo- tors have been demonstrated sufficiently efficient in New York to warrant their joption there, second, whether the local experiments and tests have demonstrated that they are in all respects capable of meeting actual service conditions here. As to the New York side of the proposition some doubt may be said to exist. Recently it was announced that the Metropolitan Traction Company had decided to equip one or two lines with this system and this statement was noted and editorically dis- cussed by The Star. It has since been de- clared that the decision has been recon- sidered and that the underground electric tem will be ased. Thus so far as infor- mation goes the air motors, notwithstand- ing the showing they have made there as reported by the expert sent to New York by the Commissioners, have not come to the requirements of the final tests. The local tests have been so conducted as seem- ingly to satisfy the officer detailed for the purpose, but it remains to be shown that the proposed motor can be run under load under actual service conditions over ont entire section of the Eckington road, while it has not even been tried on the Belt. Last winter in New York much trouble was experienced with the motors through frozen valves. Thus far all the local tests have been conducted during miid or hot weather. The underground electric system, which must be used if the alr motor 1s not, bas passed beyond the experimental stage and is a demonstrated success. Washing- ton has not committed itself to unqualified opposition to all air motors in the same way in which it has declared war against the overhead trolley. But before any such motor is installed with the commusity‘’s consent upon any of the local lines, as an ternative to the underground eleetric, Washington will insist upon assurance that the very best form of air motor is proposed for its use, and upon proof that this motor can meet the severest requirements of ac- Qual service under existing local conditions. —»+e+e—___ The German emperor should study discre- tion, and not presume too far on what he calls his divine right.

Their hope is in a reaction against the dollar wheat boom. They ase confident that a reaction will come. The farmers, as they believe, encouraged by the present price, will sow heavily again this year, with the result that next year’s wheat crop will be enor- mous, and unless another failure of the crop abroad occurs—which the silverites do not think is at ail likely—the price wiil fall. In other words, the Indiana silverites are reasoning that. with good prices for wheat, the farmers are indifferent about silver, but with wheat low again, the farmers will again support the demand for free coinage at 16 to 1. Those who hold to this opinion miscon- ceive the whole matter. It may turn out to be true that because of the size of the crop, both in this country and elsewhere, the price of wheat next year will not show the high figures of this year. It all_de- pends. If there is a very heavy 01 in this country and elsewhere this fall, and 4m enormous crop everywhere is harvested next year, the price cannot be as bigh as it now is, with the foreign granaries only half filled. That stands to reason. But what the farmer now sees, but was slow to see or could not see at all last year, is that the price of wheat Is controlled by the law of supply and demand, and not by the amount of silver notes or silver coin in circulation. He has seen take place what he was solemnly told last year could not possibly take place. He has seen wheat go up and silver go down. And the conditions which have brought about the sepuration are so very plain that the franker of the silver leaders—the very men who made the assertion last year with so much vehemence that the price of wheat could never rise until silver was remone- tized—now confess their mistake on that point. How then will it be possible to bring the farmers in any force again, even with the price of wheat lower than it now is, to support free coinage at 16 to 1 upon the proposition that only through the remone- Uzation of silver can the prices of farm products be raised? The very admission new made, that the high price of wheat this year is due to the short crop abroad, gives away the whole silver case as ex- pounded last year. The natural law of supply and demand was then almost hoot- ed at. The whole difficulty, it was urged, was within the power of Congress to rem- edy. By opening the mints again to the free coinage of silver at a ratio of 16 to 1, prices of everything would go up with a rush, and the farmer, the butcher, the ba- ker, the candlestick-maker, and every- body, would prosper at once. The farmer is better informed on this subject today than he was then. And so are other people. The silver men, there- fore, must present their case in sume other form. The price of wheat is no longer available for them as an illustra- tion: and the price of that crop next year is not likely to be an important factor in the vote at the Congress elections in No- vember. ——_+++____ Face the Facts. But two propositions are now of vital im- Portance in connection with the appear- ance of yellow fever in the South: (1) the fever exists, and (2) heroic and harmonious efforts—both state and national authorities participating—should be made to stamp it out. All else can well afford to wait. Where tke germs came from, whether the first diagnosis of the fever at Ocean Springs was correct or incorrect, or whether there may be one case more or less in the daily reports from localities where the fever has already appeared, are not at present directly to the point. If there bus been carelessness here or there, on anybody’s part, the question can be in- vestigated and the responsibility fixed later. For the present nothing is of half so much importance as to kill the pest. It seems proper to say this after reading the sharp criticism of the Ship Island quarantine station by a member of the Mississippi Board of Health. That station may not be perfect for its purposes. Its presence near the Mississippi coast may not be agreeable to those living in that locality. Quarantine stations are not de- sirable institutions to have in one’s neigh- borhood. But they are very necessary, and they serve an invaluable purpose. The one at Ship Island ought not to be con- aemned upon mere conjecture. At present nothing is known about where the germs came from. All is conjecture. Ship Island quarantine station; an oyster bed planted where the crainage of Ocean City pours over; Cuban filibusters running in and out on their errands between the American and the Cuban shores. Specula- tion hits upon these and other things to explain the outbreak. The subject is not pressing. It is scarcely worth while to say that with yellow fever epidemic in many parts of Cuba, and fostered by the cruel policies of General Weyler, a danger has existed for some time, and has fre- quently been referred to. Open travel be- tween the two shores has not at any time been interrupted. If the germs have been brought from Cuba filibusters are not alone within range of accusation. But attention and activity should con- centrate on facts and not on speculation. The fever is here and must be fought. Means, state and national, are ample for the purpose. Physicians and experts are hurrying to the scene in a way that hon- ors themselves and their profession, and everything seems to promise a prompt check to the fever’s advances. ——_+++—____ A Local Klondike. The world is full of Klondikes. Gold ap- pears in abundance in Alaska, Canada, Missouri and Michipicoten. Pearls abound in Arkansas. Dollar wheat in great plenty fills the barns of the west. The District is not without its opportunities to find wealth with little risk and at slight expense. If the laws and regulations are in effect what they seem to be on their surface this com- munity might readily be richer by $640 a day, and without suffering starvation, de- privation, cold or any other distress. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company would supply the pelf. The police court treasury would grow plethoric. The richest Placer mine would be discounted. And all this merely by the application of a little vigor in the matter of prosecuting the cor- poration named for violating the regula- tions as to the maintenance of gates at grade crossings. The facts of this case are now well known. They have been for- cibly called to the attention of the authori- ties ard today the first steps have been taken to stake out the claims that invite tie police and the prosecuting officers. Properly worked the Florida Avenue mines would yield a yearly revenue of $233,600, and the funds would soon be on hand for the erection of a new municipal building. From present indications the golden oppor- tunity will not b2 neglected. —_++e____ Mr. Quigg will now proceed to burn a little red fire while Mr. Platt sets his back against a wall, unsheathes his cutlass and bids Mr. Low and Mr. Croker both “come on.” ———+e—____ Mr. Bryan appears to be equipped for the discovery of surprises in the law of supply and demand almost as interesting as those that occur in the tariff law. —————-++2____ Mr. Carnegie cannot be expected to look upon a project to provide the government with inexpensive armor plate as anything but mistaken philanthropy. —_++e-—____ The Potomac river must not be allowed to become the pathway either of the over- loaded excursion boat or the light-weight garbage scow. ——++e—___ It is estimated that the yellow fever will cause far less distress in this country than the geld fever. —~>+e—____ Mr. Gorman on Deck. Senator Gorman has returned from his sojourn at Sarataga, and is described as being in the pink of physical condition. When interrogated yesterday about politics he declared that he was not posted, but said he would now put himself in touch again with current events and find out what was going on. This, of course, was mere pleasantry. Mr. Gorman sleeps with one eye open, and even when in loafing mood is comparatively a busy man. It is entirely sdfe to assume that no move made by either side on the political chess board at home during his absence has escaped him, and that the factional fighting among the republicans in particular has been care- fully appraised for all that it may be made to yield to the democracy. There is renewal of the talk about Mr. Gorman’s intentions toward the senator- ship. In Monday's Star appeared a special from Baltimore on the subject, in which it point and taking himself out of the race was expected. But it is to be observed that from no quarter comes a report that Mr. Gorman will not manage the appoaching campaign. On the confrary, from every quarter comes the report that the fight is to be made under the senator’s personal direction. He has returned home strength- ened and refreshed for the fray. He is in fighting form, or, as already stated, “in the pink of condition.” This is the point of most interest and im- portance. The men in Maryland, republi- cans, democrats and independents, who are| Never sold ine Washington - opposed to Mr. Gorman and his methods, and who desire to see hint retired to pri- vate life and new methods introduced in the affairs of the state, know the man they are dealing with. His stage plays are often very shrewdly contrived. But un- selfishness is no part of the Maryland sen- ator’'s make-up. When he is occupied, and especially when he exhibits unusual in- dustry, an outcome of individual value to Mr. Gorman is generally in his calculations. So that in taking matters intf his own hands this fall, and preparing for the fight of his life, Mr. Gorman gives such evi- dence of where, in case of democratic suc- cess, the senatorial prize will go as no trick of self-effacement at this time could pos- sibly extinguish. Democratic success in Maryland in No- vember means six years more of Mr. Gor- man in the Senate, and a material strength- ening of the Gorman machine in the state all along the line. ——_ ++ ____ If Mr. Bryan goes to New York in order prevent silver from becoming troublesome in the local campaign, it will be interesting to watch the methods he adopts for carry- ing the war out of the enemy's country. ——_-+ + ____ Mr. Croker seems inclined to feel that he is a little old to take the mount himself this fall provided he can get some good re- liable jockey. —_—_++e_____ In discussing his political future Senator Gorman shows a prudent disinclination to leave himself unprovided with a parachute. ——>+e—____ Mr. Hill's silence is as dense now as at any time in his career, but it is not leading people to allude to him as a sphinx. ————_+ +e —____ T.

It is gratifying to learn that Mrs. Wil- Mam Gerry Slade of New York has or- ganized a society to be known as ‘““She Daughters of 1781-1815." We nave been worried for some time because there seemed to be a few years at the beginning of this century that could not boast cf being the father of a single daughter, and naturally they were lonesome. On either side of them were years that had more scns and daughters than one would sup- pose they couid support, and yet there was no one to say “Papa” to a single year be- tween the close of the war of the revolu- tion and the beginning of the war of 1812. Happily, thanks to Mrs. Slade, all this is at an end, and we doubt if there is now a childless year in the history of this coun- try from 1492 to 1815. Timely Caution. From the Toronto Mail. The high price of wheat and increasing demand for other products of Canadian farms makes it necessary for the farmers to be careful not to make a vulgar display of wealth when visiting Toronto and the exhibition. ——__++2____ Senator Gorman’s Retirem From the Boston Herald.
