Spain's Sen Patrol. Spain desires the world to believe that she could easily have put down the insur- gerts in Cuba long since but for the aid rendered them by th friends and sym- pathizers in the United States. The in- surgent . she Insists, has its streng and mainstay in this country. The insurgents and their friends, nat- urally, have obtained what they could in this country in the way of arms, ammuni- tion and stores. They have had a perfect right under the law to buy here. But the point has been for them to ship their pur- chases. That is where the law applied. They have been most closely watched— so closely that their traffic cannot pos- sibly have amounted to very much. The whole Atlantic coast line of the coun- try has been patrolled in Spain's behalf. Cruisers and smaller craft have been em- ployed to spy out and ran down all vesse!s engaged in such traffic. The work has been done with all the care that could be be- stowed on it. From Boston, clear down and around to New Orleans, the prope: Officials of every port have had their in- structions to be on the look-out for filibus- ters. The line has been a very long one to patrol, and if now and then some boat slipped out of a harbor with supplies for the Cubans and eluded the vigilance of the watch both on land and sea it was no won- der. But t has Spain been doing to prevent such traffic? She has had no right to ex- pect the United States to do all of this work. Why has she not guarded the coast line of Cuba so closely that filibusters slip- ping through the lines here could not pos- sibly slip through them there? The coast line of Cuba is a very limited patrol as compared with the coast line of the United States. What have her ships been doin, Mention of them is but rarely made in the dispatches. Now and then we read of Gen- eral Weyler taking ship at Havana for some town not far away, but beyond this ferrying of the commander the Spanish craft in the vicinity of Cuba seem to have nothing to do. So that when it is charged by Spain that filibusters from the United States have been carrying on the war in Cuba against her so disastrously for nearly three years, she simply indicts for utter Imcompetency the naval forces she hz sent to the island to assist the commander ot her forces on shore. But while this filibustering has been in- significant in comparison with the Spanish representations of it, its existence is a con- stant peril, and of itself affords sufficient justification for an effort on the part of the United States to try to stop the wa Try hard as it may, this government ca: not hope entirely to cut off communication between the insurgents and their friends in this country. Several things make that impussible. Undoubtedly, there is strong sympathy here for the insurgents. The Markets are near at hand, and tempting. The coast line to be patrolled is a very long one. Any day, therefore, compli:a- tious are liable to arise which, in the strained relations that exist between the two countr! might lead to a most disas- trous explosion. General Woodford’s mission has peace for its object, and if Spain is wise she will hearker unto what he says to her. ——~>+o—___ Reliable Efficiency. It appears from the news columns that changes among the clerks of the Treasury Deparument imminent because the <u- perior officers cannot now find enough men or women among the force capable of doing reliable work in stenography and type- writing. This is rather surprising, as it Was thought that there was a surplus of t sort of capacity, both in the govern- ment de tments and in other places. At me Ume, it is encouraging to young men and women who do not feel “called” particu mission in life that re- quires a professional training, aud whose educational facilities have necessarily been limited. The business high school, a pact of the public school system of this city, affords ample opportunity for such persons to ecuip themselves for this sort of public service before they begin the great cam- paign. There is always a demand for good workmen and workwomen in all lines. st uns person. with the facilities now af- ded by public and private educationa! Ututions, should lack for employment or she takes full advantage of all op- ies that offer themselves. The sit- on in the Treasury Department is typi- of that which exists elsewhere. There need for well-trained asststants, 2nd yet there does not seem to be a full appre- ciation on the part of some sections of the rising generation of the value of thorough tu ning in special branches along with a substantial edueation. Doubtless the k in the treasury will be speedily sup- There will always, however, be a premium on reliable efficiency that will provide a market for it in any form it may assume. ——++o The President has attended to a great deal of hand shaking of late.

It will be interesting to compare the ultimate destinies of the two gentlemen. —re+o—____ A Street-Sweeping Emergency. ‘The superintendent of street cleaning mits to the public a statement which ns reasonably to explain the causes for the neglect of 6th street by the sweep- ers Saturday, as noted im the complaint of @ citizen in last evening's Star. It ap- pears that rain on two nights previously had cut off the service from certain stress 1 in a schedule that grants but a Single visit a week, and that in conse- quence those streets were very dirty Satur- day. To follow the regular schedule on oc-asion, according to the superin- , would necessitate a further slight of these once-a-week streets, and as a choice of evils he ordered the neglect cf 6th street and some others to prevent a continuance and increase of the bad con- dittcns prevailing elsewhere. Thus the complaint is fully answered, so far as she contractor is concerned and the responsi- bility is assumed by the superintendent, Who seems to have been justified by the circumstances. This incident illustrates the value of the system of independent in- spection by the citizens out of which the ccmplaint as to 6th street grew. As long as the streets are swept by schedule the public ts entitled to expect that that schedule will be followed in regular rou- tine, except when a storm prevents or Some announcement to the contrary is made by the superintencent. To the end that the citizens may not be misled by an ¢fficially authorized but unpublished de- parture from the schedule there should be seme method whereby the zhanges con- templated might be announced, just <s the people are warned that the water supply will be shut off for a certain period. The emergencies that give rise to these changes are surely not so sudden in their creation as to make it impossible to publish a brief note in the afternoon to the effect that certain temporary amendments will be made in the schedule of the night. It ts due to the contractor as well as to the residents that there should be a compicte understanding of the situation on the part of the latter. If these emergencies should arise so frequently as to cause undue dis- comfort there would seem to be a neces- sity fur permanent amendments as weli as for more facilities for the work. The lat- ter is apparently now the case, for it is plain thet no street should be permitted to go urswept for an entire week with the chance that the least rain may cause a total postponement of the work for an- other week. At all events, it is clear that the citizens can supplement the efforts of the authorities to keep the streets well cleaned by maintaining a watch upon the schedules and by reporting prompt'y any lapses such as that waich has just Leen explained. —_++e—____ Libelling an Emperor. ‘The English newspapers print a good deal of incredible stuff about the German em- peror, but maybe the yarn to which they are at present giving currency takes the lead of all for a certain iurid improba- bility. re Some little time ago, the emperor, while at sea, im some way received a black eye. Immediately following the c'rcumstance, au officer of the ship—a very promising young man—disappeared, and a_ repert gained currency that he had committed suicide. The details given were that the young officer was in charge of the ship when the emperor was siruck, and being publicly and severely reproved for the ac- cident—the blow having been inflicted by a swinging rope knotted at the end—des- troyed himself in the throes of mortifica- tion. This was ali likely enough, though sad enough. A chief sometimes sptaks in passion to a subordinate, and a sensitive subordinate sometimes unduly magnifies a reproof and acts recklessly because of it. But this story has given place to another— the one now in circulation—which makes the emperor culpable in the extreme. It is now stated that the emperor received his black eye in a personal d:fficulty with the young officer, whom, in the presence of others, he had most grossly insulted. The young officer was the son of an officer of high rank in the German army, and both his father and mother are prominent people in society. As the story goes, the emperor spoke most offensively of the young officer's mother in the son’s pres- ence, whereat the son, fergetting all re- straints of rank, and obeying the fine tm- puises of simple manhood, floored his sovereign with a well directed blow with his fist in the face. He saw at onee that his career was ruined, and, going ashore, killed - himself. This is asking entirely too much of the public even in the case of a man supposed tu be capable of many unusua! and some outrageous things. William II undoubtedly bas many traits which defy ordinary rules. He arrogates a good deal to himself and to his office. But there is no connection be- tween the arrogance of an emperor and the brutality of a common blackguard, and hencé this latest yarn, intended to injure the emperor, has every appearance of a palpable and malicious slander. —~>+o—____ The Value of Decent Ball Playing. The series of games of baseball just con- cluded in Baltimore affords. several in- structive object lessons for the managers of that sport and for its participants and spectators. The three contests, which seem new to have virtually decided the great championship race, were witnessed by no less than 53,000 people. This indicates the won- derful attraction which the game has for the American people and reveals the busi- ness possibilities of the sport when the teams are everly matched and interest is not killed by the lack of chances for either side to win. But the most impressive fea- ture of the series was the entire absence from the games of that spirit of rowdyism that has so frequently characterized the work of the Baltimore team during this and previous seasons. Incidentally it is important to note that thus far in the season the umpires have been forced to fine the members of the Beston club only $0 while $245 was taken from the Balti- more players in the same period because of their boisterous protests against the rulings of the judges of play. This discrepancy shows, if anything, that rowdyism is not essential to success, unless it be conceded that without the element of aggressiveness and bullying the Baltimore team would not have stood as high as it did. The games in Baltimore, however, were free from such unpleasant features, not a fine being assessed during the series upon a singie player, and each side got the benefit of all the doubts to which it was entitled. Then, teo, the reports show that the spectators were in the main orderly, while of course noisy to an unprecedented degree. The moral is plain. Managers should suppress all symptoms of rowdyism on the part of both players and spectators. They can readily control the former by disciplinary methods and the good effect of decent play- ing will soon appear in increased gate re- ceipts ————~++e—____ It is said tnat Iowa has not developed as much enthusiasm over Mr. Bryan's speechmaking as was expected. It is very difficult for a man to fix his mind on firancial theories when he is at the same time engaged in figuring on how much greater his profits on wheat will be this year than last. ———~++s—___ An inventor has discovered 2 method of expediting and cheapening the manufac- ture of armor plate.

A European scientist announces that he has discovered hitherto unnoted qualities in bread that lead him to doubt its nour- is detrimental to the general health, asserts that if the race were not so im many ways has tended to surround mod- ern man with an atmosphere of suspicion and distrust. Incidentally it has added to the sum-total of human knowledge, and has perhaps forewarned mankind of modes of destruction employed by nature, of which there was no previous intimation. But it is unfortunate if at last the loaf of bread, the staff of life, should be attacked. The iconoclasts have driven William Tell from history into mythology. Washing- ton’s hatchet is doubted by some skeptics. ‘The pretty story of King Alfred and the burned cakes is shelved as untrustworthy, and there is grave doubt among the his- torians as to whether King Canute actually gave his famous orders to the incoming waves to desist. These and many other of the articles of popular faith have per- ished under the influence of the fact-wor- shipping philosophers, but it was hoped that trust in so intimate a friend as daily bread would be spared from the ruthless assault. However, millions of people will doubtless continue to eat bread from day to day, and to take their chances of lop- ping off a few score of years from the span of life. ——__-+ oe ____.
