4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY..........October 27, 1897. .---Editor. GROSBY S. NOYES...... THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. ~ Im order to avoid delays, on nc- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the Office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editor: or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpo' The Union Pacific Debt. , Last winter a proposition was presented in Congress for the refunding of the Pacific railroad indebtedness that was ridiculously unfair to the national treasury. So small was the rate of interest to be exacted and so insignificant the annual contributions to the sinking fund that in effect the govern- ment was asked to say to its delinquent debtor that if less than the rate of interest on government loans were paid annually for a specified term of years the principal of a hundred millions would be viewed 2s cancelled. The only real argument in favor of this |scheme was the contention that if some ‘such arrangement were not made the gov- ernment would become the owner of the railroads under foreclosure, and would be compelled, moreover, to assume and pay a ‘Hen upon the roads prior to its own. Hap- pily the funding bill was defeated. In the campaign against Its passage The Star took an active interest, and the result was gratifying to all friends of the govern- ment and of fair business dealing. To avoid the possibility of government owner- ,ship the administration secured from the ' “reorganization committee” a guaranteed minimum bid for the Union Pacific before going ahead with the foreclosure, which was the natural result of the defeat of the refunding bill. ‘The fact amount that this bid was for a smaller the government's claim the Union Pacific caused bitter of the arrangement, and other ts have been stirred up to prepare t the sale. There is undoubtedly margin of profit in the pur- road even if the govern- ment's claim is paid in full, and a whole- some result of the newspaper discussion of the subject is the increase of the reor- ‘ganization committee's guarmmteed bid so ‘that this full payment is assured. The svindication of the opponents of the fund- [ing bill is complete. There is to be no gov- fernment ownership, and no issue of bon sto remove tre prior lien from the railros lInstead the government will be {promptly ard in full. The administration should neglect no step which will tend to bring about this desirable result. ——___+ ++ —__ If Cuba Comes to Congress. ‘The news from Madrid now suggests that jthe Cuba question may go over until Congress meets, and then be submitted to ‘that body by the President. If it takes i that course, the question is not likely to be than changed in any of its material aspects im that time. General Blanco, red as his instruc and intentions may be and deubtiess are, will be obliged to move slow- » start. He inherits as commander- a very complicated situation, with i panish forces badly demoralized through failures and defeats. He cannot : hope to put them immediately into the field under a spell of his own which will hurry them to victory. The reinforcements he is to receive cannot be available at the earli- est for several weeks. The insurgents will continue the tactics which on their part have so far proved so effective. They will not offer General Blanco batue, but harry him by surprises in his exposed places as they hay e General Weyler. So that in December, according to reasonable cal- culations, the situation in Cuba will prac- zeal the situation of today, and Con- -d upon, will take it up in its pres The ngress ought to be a: faverable to the insur- one thing, there is not likely h between Congress and the e last Congr was mo: to Cu but labore advantage of Mr. Cieveiand’s admitting if to a share in the ..

But if Mr. Me- Kinley the tion to Congress que peration, character ought present House el someting speedily and the Pr ed on a platform de- nsurgent cause, and the stands heartily for Cuba. - question is so very important— as it now does the attention of all ihe world—and as in the month's time the imsurgzents are not likely to lose any- thing, the friends of Cuba need not fear the prog: as outlined. Delay carries a greater menace to Spain than to Cuba. Sentiment over here is practicaliy all one way, and that Cuba's way, and cannot be changed, while the divisions in Spain are very prenounced and are steadily growing. A long period of anxiety for the insurgents seems to be drawing to a close full of promise for them. —~>+e—___ A great many orators of today combine ith the Loast that they are plain people ardent and undisguised ambition to be decorated with political trimmings. ————_+ ++ __ in's determination to negotiate an- other Ican icdicates a determination to persist in being proud on borrowed capital. ——~>ro More Men for follow The dent also were claring Senate for the attr w - je Navy. It has been © matter of frequent comment during the past few years that the up- building of the American navy has not progressed along harmonious and syste- matic lines. Long strides forward have been taken in the direction of increasing the number of fighting machines and the Ust of vessels avatiable for active service has been lengthened by the addition of many first-class battle skips, cruisers, gunboats and torpedo boats. But in all this advance- ment Congress has persistently ignored the change that has come in the means of pro- pulsion, the evolution from the sailing ship to the great engine driven craft that de- pend solely upon their machinery for their activity. This change has involved new demands upon the legislature in the way of mere liberal appropriations for the force of enginesrs to manage the machinery of the pavy. For years this force, so vitally im- portart in the ecoromy of a naval service, has Leen practically at a standstill. For @ considerable period, indeed, while the avy was being most rapidly increased, the Fist of active engineers was being steadily reduced, in obedience to the commands of Congress. Now the chief of the bureau, himself a man of wide experience and broad jadgm: pleads for an enlargement of the force amounting to nearly 50 per cent. This Fatio of increase ts none too high when the difference between the old and the new navies of the nation is taken into account. ‘The engineer must be a man of ability, dis- cretion and bravery. But above all he must have competent assistance. It is self-evi- dent that without @ sufficient force to ma- Mipulate and care for the delicate and in- volved machinery upon which the service- ability of a warship now depends there is @ positive limit to the fighting possibilities of the ficets, as well as to their mere cruis- ing abilities. Even as in the language of the navigator “the speed of the fleet ts equal only to that of its slowest member’ so the capacity of the navy, under modern conditions, is equal only to the size and capacity of its engineering force. But the misdirected economy of Congress is working also to the detriment of the other branches of the service. It was discovered the other day that the limits of the appropriations for the enlistment of seamen have been reached, although there are not men enough to man the ships now awaiting commis- sions. Recently the administration was seriously embarrassed in the matter of sending a cruiser to Honolulu by reason of the lack of sufficient men to form crews for the vessels then available. The emer- gency was of slight consequence, but had it been such as to affect some material in- terest the folly of the present congressional policy in dealing with tne personnel of the pavy would have received a most whole- some, though, perhaps, expensive object les- son. —__—_- + 2-« Political Control of the Cities. The visit of Mayor Harrison of Chicago and of Mayor Taggart of Indianapolis to New York to speak in bebalf of Judge Van Wyck for mayor of that town will prob- ably influence no votes, bui it will operate as that certification of the Tammany can- didate which his friends have been unable to secure from the leader of the party. Mr. Bryan, by the advice of those standing nearest to him, has held aloof from the New York fight. But in obtaining for his man the indorsement of Mr. Harrison and Mr. Taggart, both of whom stood squarely on the Chicago platform and won by large majorities, Mr. Croker will insist that no doubt can with justice longer be thrown on the regularity of the tiger's campaign. The play has merit, although the visitors are hardly of the caliber to materially af- fect a struggle now moving on a national plane, and, to a degree, through national agencies. The democracy is making strenuous play fcr control of the leading cities. It already controls Chicago, Indianapolis and Cin- cinnati, and in the campaigns now in pro- gress it is exerting itself to the utmost to capture Boston, New York, Baltimore and Louisville. If it succeeds in this it will then be installed in power in every city of note in the country but Philadelphia. The advantage gained, from a party stand- point, will be very great. The cities exert a considerable influence in politics. In hotly contested campaigns New York city has often determined the complexion of the majority vote of the state, Baltimore of Maryland, Chicago of Illinois, Indianapolis of Indiana and Cincinnati of Ohio. All of them are growing cities, and the patronage is enormous. Shrewd and capable party managers so intrenched ought to ask no more at any time to put up a most stirring fight. Mr. Quincy, the democratic candidate for mayor ef Boston, Mr. Williams of Balti- more, and Mr. Weaver of Louisville are not regarded as silver men, and hence, if they win, their success may not be put down squarely in the silver column. But all are receiving the support of the regular silver organizations in their respective contests, anc this of course will tend to make their success if achieved a part and parcel of the silver democratic winning of the year. Non-partisanship in the affairs of cities a consummation most devoutly to be wished.” It is grounded in the best of sense, and it promises upon trial the best results. But partisanship fs still so fierce and so comprehensive in its operations that the fight for a change proceeds slowly and at times discouragingly. Ss Japan Will Really Arbitrate. Japan seems to have withdrawn her ob- jections to the arbitration proposed by Hawaii in the matter of the immigration cispute. This proposition was not at frst accepted in good faith by Japan, and some of her agents, notably the minister in Hon- lulu and his counsellor who recently at- tempted to take dis own life in Tokyo, de- clared that Japan’s national honor was involved to such an extent that arbitra- tion was beyond consideration. The gov- «rnment at Tokyo consented to refer ge] dispute to an arbitrator, but accompanied this concession with conditions that, if accepted, would have been fatal to Ha- Waii's cause before the tribunal, stipulating, as they did, that Hawaii should at the outset relinquish the very foundation of her claim that the immigrants were ille- gally landed and that the treaty relied upon by Japan did not touch the pending controver: Hawaii diplomatically and in effect rejected these conditions. Japan has finally consented to fair arbitration, d the only question now in dispute is to identity of the arbitrators. Jap: neminated the King of the Belgian: Ha- waii proposed in turn that each nation to the dispute shall name one arbitrator, and that these two shall agree upon a third, who shall thus in effect be the referee of the entire controversy. It is gratifying to note that Japan has not at any point been able to browbeat Hawaii into accepting unfavorable conditions or into making un- wise concessions. Consolation. Those Washingtorians who may be dis- posed to criticise the clements for the per- sistent drenchirg to which the capital has been subjected for the past week should recall that they enjoyed a long and scarcely unbroken period of dry and balmy weather during the late summer and early autumn. The wretched conditions that have existed during the past few days hardly balance the account, and unless the prevailing forces continue for another week or so the people will come out winners in the end. At all events, the capital has thus far escaped a severe visitation, such as has come to communities nearer to the coast during this storm, and such as was expe- rienced by this city, with heavy damage, a year ago. With these facts borne in mind it will be easier to endure the discomforts of damp days, wet pavements, muddy walks and the general atmosphere of misery that accompanies a prolonged northeaster. ————++e—____ Mr. George seems earnestly disposed to give Sirg Sing an opportunity to share the distinction which the Washington Jail has gained by its entertainment of wealthy and eminent gentlemen. —_—_+ +o ___ Mr. Bryan wili not go to New York.

It is to be seen from “Kamehameha's” latest letter to The Star, printed today, that the anti-annexation agitation in Ha- waii has at last crystallized in the form of a petition to the President, asking him to secure a postponement of action by Con- gress on the treaty until the question has been submitted to the native Hawalians. This petition has long been foreseen and its effect discounted. It cannet be granted unless the government and Congress desire to temporize with a situation that calls for prompt action. The proposed plebiscite wculd demonstrate nothing of value in the case, nor would it affect the real issues in- volved in annexation. The native Hd- waltans are not to be the sole arbiters of the fate of the republic. Their govern- ment was a failure. It was overthrown by the representatives of that civilization that has been closing around the islands for many years. It was a corrupt, unworthy government, and even at best it failed to represent the native element, being during later years as “Kamehameha” indicates subject in a large degree to the will of the whites, who have saved Hawali from utter destruction. The natives are misguided, as the account given of a speech at the sec- ond anti-annexation mass meeting serves to indicate. The arguments that are used to arouse the natives and to bolster up their supposed protest against union are specious and indefensible. Those that pre- tend to bear upon the material welfare of the Hawaiians are unfounded, while those that play upon the patriotism of thé ng- tives are impracticable. The changes are rung upon the cry of “Hawaii for the Ha- waiians,” and the natives are, to a certain extent, deluded into the belief that they are in danger of being defrauded of their rightful possessions. Annexation means much to these natives. It means freedom from turmoil and uncertainty, the securing of prosperous commercial connections, ad- vantageous markets, relief from the com- petition of Asiatic labor and participation in time in the affairs of the greatest of re- Publics. Instead of disfranchisement, it promises elevation to political and ma- terial rights and privileges that could never be theirs under monarchical conditions. —_____+ ¢+—____ The practice of sending ladies to inter- view public men is a warning to them that if they persist in mingling in public affairs they must now and then forego the luxury of the last word. i: ——_—_++-_____ Possibly the cold weather will cause Dorsey Foultz to think better of it and come to the well-lighted and heated jail of his own accord. ——_++e—____.

Prone to Doubt. “Women are naturally incredulous,” re- marked the whist player. “That's contrary to the common impres- sion.” “I don’t care; it’s true. You never can make one believe you the first time you tell her what are trumps.” Not a Case in Point. “To be good,” remarked the off-hand philosopher, “is to be beautiful.” “Wal,” replied the man who was trying to sell him a mountain farm, “I dunno. Mebbe it’s the exception as proves the rule.”” “What do you mean?” “{ was thinkin’ ‘bout a ‘possum. Therc’s no denyin’ that ’possum’s mighty good; but ye can’t never make me think it’s purty.” Small Comfort. “Never mind,” said the neighbor who was trying to sympathize with a friend for the losses caused by a storm. “Lightning never strikes twice in the same place.” “Yes,” replied Farmer Corntossel, ‘an there's a mighty good reason fur that. After it gits through the fust time it don’t leave no place wuth payin’ attention to.” Inconsistency. What courage men wi!l scmetimes show in things of mighty weight!

There is plenty of red blood in Henry George's manner of arraigning Richard Croker in the New York campaign. Mr. akes cognizance of the fact that ith no visible occupation but that , has been rolling up riches for years; that he has carried a stud of horses to England as one of the manifestations of his It has lived there for years, and has apparently come home now with a view to taking possession again of the democratic party that he may recuperate in his funds, which, apparently, have been waning under t ffects of bad luck on the race course. Mr. George professes the intention of calling Croker to account as to the sources from which this money in which he has been revelling has been real- ized. It is not clear how Mr. George could do this, if elected mayor, but he seems to have corfidence that the attempt in Itself would be of public benefit. It is plain that Mr. George is moved to an honest indigna- tion upon the subject, and that it takes on a fiery character. He cuts himself clear of Tammany Hall, and occupies an attitude in which it is impossible for him to make terms with that institution. There are a good many people on whcse support Tam- many has been in the habit of counting wishing more power te Mr. George's elbow in this canvass. ——__ + oe —____ Here It Comes. From the London Times. Information has been received from Bal- timore to the effect that the Maryland (United Siates) Stcel Company have con- tracted to deliver nearly 8,800 tons of steel rails in Calcutta for the East Indian State railway at £1 per ton less than the lowest British tender. The same American com- pany have, it is stated, secured other large orders from British possessions, including 1,500 tons of rails for South Africa, 3,000 tons of rails for the Inter-Colonial railway at Halifax, Nova Scotia, and 1,000 tons for Charlestown, Prince Edward Island. It is added that the Glasgow Corporation last week accepted a Philadelphia tender for the supply of gaspipes to that city, and, in doing so, effected a saving of £1 per ton over the lowest British tender. ——_++e—_____ Were They Buncoedt From the Louisviile Courler-Jouraal.
