In this matter of General Weyler Spain is making another of those grotesque grand stand plays for which during this Cuban has become famous. She is b te court-martial him. For wis bringing disgrace upon her arms in Cuba? For barbarities without precedent in the annals of the century? Fo> suffering himself, with two hundred thousand men, to be fought to a stagdstill by a force whose size and personnel he rid- . General Weyler had full autherity, and, for eighteen full Spanish approval. for all he Gid while commander-in-caief in the island. His bloody sword was all right. It was his loody mouth that got him into trouble. On the eve of his departure from Havana he spcke words construed as words of cen- sure of Spanish statesmanship, and he is promptly called to book. How very remarkable this thing called Spanish pride is! How much of one sort of abuse it can stand, yet how little of an- she Spanish months, other! General Weyler in Cuba, making a waste with his torch and a cemetery with his sword, with the Spanish flag waving over him, does not offend Spain. Neither ker pride nor her humanity revolts at that. But when he dares to say that sentiment in the United States has influenced the councils at Madrid her haughty soul is tremend fired. Deeds of fiendishness and ne in her name arouse no pro- test from her. but a word of disrespect from a cast-off tool fills her with fury. he manifests this same spirit with re- the lerger jon involved. the odium ng a portion of her nousehold con- nuy in terror and under persecution. history of her government of Cuba, which is now the common property of the civilized world, bas never brought a blush to her cheek. She is adding to that history all the time. She-acts on the proposition that she will reduce the Cuban people to tien again or exterminate them. But when the United States, in the interests of humanity, sneaks for peace, Spanish price ely wounded. Spain cannot permit an to ¥ to interfere on any account. It is nd entirely her own affai ler a man of violent temper, ruling bis household with a rod of iron: ling his children and throwing their bodies out of the window; stamping upon the pros- trate form of his wife; smashing the fur- riture aad making a wreck of everytaing about the place. If a humane neighbor in- terfered, would the ind:gnant the man of violence that his hou: castle and he would do in it and with it as he liked hold good with civilized people? That describes Spain in her attitude to- Ward Cuba and the United States. But if Spain is to dismiss General Weyler for his assertion that the United States has had too much to do in this Cuban matter, What Is she to do respecting her own for- ™al complaint on that score, which is founded on General Weyler’s Statements? As the witness to be disgraced for an indis- creet utterance, anc yet his testimony made the basis of contention with this govern- ment? If General Weyler is to be crushed— and he richly deserves that fate—why not crush all Weylerism also? =——_~+eo___ The Treasury and the Oleo Men. It is puzzling to understand why such an important branch of the United States Treasury Department as the interna] rev- enue bureau should persistently counte- Rance the viviaticn of laws which were drawn for its specific guidance and which it ‘as primarily organized to carry out. Yet undeniable effect of the policy of the tu to compromise habitually the most flagrant violations of the internal revenue und regulations, and especiaily those relating to the sale and exposure of oleo- mergarine, is to foster these infractions of the law by encouraging the offenders to be- lieve that, even if caught, they are safe from public prosecution. In the case of Joseph Wilkins the internal revenue author- ities go even further and, as if they were Wilkins’ representatives instead of govern- ment officials, are vigorously attempting to Procure the a cence of the law officers here Iphia in the non-prose- cution «ases pending in both cities against him. The internal revenue author- itles justify themselves on the ground that the laws are weak. The fact is that both in spirit and in act the internal revenue bureau is weak. The same vim and energy and ¢ diture of money that are applied tu the apprehension and conviction of an ignorant mountaineer who makes fifty gal- lons of whisky a year illegally if devoted to the making of cases properly against vio- lators of the oleomargarine laws would render impossible the continued imposition Practiced upon the public by the oleomar- garine dealers. SO Oo —_—_ Great Britain is willing to permit ex- scuss the seal question, so that when the the public authoritatively enlight- ered on what killed them. ——~+ e+ __ aryland declines to co-operate with Kentucky in any effort to restore the phrase “solid south” to general circulation. —__~-2—____ Pugilism and Foot Ball. The logical result of the present tendency of the game of foct-ball has been reached in the introduction in the Georgia legisla- ture of two bills, one prohibiting that game henceforth In the state and the other legalizing prize-fighting. These bills have been called forth by the recent death of a young man In a foot-ball game at Atlanta, and if the present eapressions of sentiment €n the part of the legislators furnish any criteriin both may pass. Such proposed enactments indicate that the public thought has been arrested to a danger and the need of a remedy. The prohibition of the Sport by legislation is unwise, though it is amply provoked by the tragedies of the past few seasons. Just to the same de- gree xould it be unwise to permit prize- fighting on a legal basis merely because foot-bali ts considered brutal and danger- ous. But as between the two sports @s they are at present regulated com- mon sense will invariably plead for the encouragement of pugilism rather than the toleration of foot-ball. As the author of the bill to legalize prize fights just intro- duced in Georgia well says, the fighter en- ters the ring knowing the weight of his opponent. The rules that govern the sport are definite !n the classification of fight- €rs according te their pounds, and seldom do two men enccunter each other with cne heavier than the other to the extent of any practical advantage. On the other hand, the foot-ball game as it is now Played is pugilism without this safe re- stricticn. In few gemes are the individuals who come into contact equal in point of weight or physica! fitness. Not only are the averages frequently at Variance, but often wide differences in weight will be feund among members of the opposing elevens and this difference is in, many cases the cause of shocking accidents. It is of course no excuse in behalf of the prize fighters to allege that foot-ball is worse than pugilism or that it is a dis- guised form of that sport. The verdict of respectable communities generally is against the legalizing of the deliberate battling of man against man and should remain unchanged without regard to the up-growth of other demoralizing institu- tions. Nor is the position of the Georgia legislator who now seeks to draw the circle of the law's protection around the fistic arena at all tenable. He is merely repeating in effect the old argument of the boys: “You're another.” The Georgia legislature will fail of its full dut¥ to the state and to the people of other states if it does not find some more reasonable remedy for the brutality of foot-ball than the prohibition of the game, and if it gives the Ieast encouragement to the prize- fighting bill. Let the game be reformed by other and more practical -neans and let Nevada enjoy the privilege of a monop- ely of the big fights. Public «pinion 1s gathering force against foot-ball and it has already condemned the prize ring. —_—___ +» —_____ Ante-Election Claim: The claims of strength, and predictions as to the result, put forward by party managers during the recent campaign, and particularly toward the close, were extrava- gant and misleading beyond all precedent. Much is to be allowed for the circum- stances under which such men speak. Their words are snatched up and repeated far and near, and public sentiment is there- by affected. The rank and file look to the leader, who must appear to keep his heart up. He must affect a confidence therefore if he have it not. But there Is reason in all things, even in this bluff and bluster in- dulged in fer campaign purposes. The New York fight may be cited as a case conspicuously in point. Up to the hour of Henry George's death the situation was very much mixed. The George follow- ing gave every evidence of being formida- ble, and, while Tammany stock was quoted highest, the race seemed to be an open one. But the removal by death of this perplex- ing quantity did not change in the slight- est any of the extravagant claims put out. The Platt people still announced as certain General Tracy's success by a large plurali- ty, and the Citizens’ Union Mr. Low’s. Tammany’s claims were justified by the event, but only by reason of Mr. George's death. Had Mr. George lived, Judge Van Wyek's vote would have been greatly re- duced. Some very wild claims were advanced by both sides in Ohio. Even General Gros- venor, with conceded talent for tables and that sort of thing, emerges from the con- flict shorn of much of the reputation for prescience he gained last year. Only about a week before election he predicted, with a show of details, a republican legislature with a working majority of fifty on joint ballot. The actual result is so close that it makes republicans and democrats alike uncomfortable. In Kentucky the gold democrats ex- Pressed the utmost confidence in being able to poll forty thousand votes. They policed less than ten thousand. And so on. This sort of thing, when carried to such excess, Is injurious to everybody responsi- ble for it or who may be influenced by it. The general run of men understand that accuracy is not to be expected in such statements; that, at best, they are but ap- Proximations. It would not be wise to give out the actual figures if they could be ob- tained. But such extensive and excessive mixing of pure moonshine or wild-eyed hope with these statements is injudicious as well as wrong. The New Masonic Temple. The project of the local Masons to replace their present temple with a new and larger building. which was tentatively broached last spring, has now been placed upon a definite basis and active work toward the erection of the structure may soon be ex- pected. The men composing this organi- zation at the capital are known for their energy and business enterprise and results soon flow from their endeavors. The new building proposition should receive hearty support, for it will add greatly to the archi- tectural beauty of the city and will mark another stage in the progressive improve- ment of the District. The present temple was a fine type of the public and semi- public buildings of the day of its construc- tion and its successor may be expected to represent in the same degree the best there is available in the way of designs and methods. The Masons of the District of Columbia are noted throughout the coun- try for their zeal in their own order, for for their loyalty to their community. This combination should produce results of which not only every member of the order but every true Washingtonian will have reason to be proud. ———S eee The Spanish soldiers who have not re- ceived their pay cannot be expected to feel very kindly toward the home authorities when even General Weyler, who finds him- self comfortably provided for, criticises them. —>e+e—____ Mr. German's retirement comes rather too late for Mr. Cleveland to point to it as a punishment for a speech delivered in the Senate some years ago. ———++2e—___.

Inst~uction by Mass Convention. Developments in the legislative snarl in Ohio will be watched with all the greater interest by reason of the fact that a new method of selecting United States senators is on trial. Discontent with the old meth- od has long prevailed. It is urged that it invites to corruption and ursecemly schem- ing, whereby the states are often deprived of the services of their bes: men ‘or those high places. A strong sentiment exists for the election of senators by a direct vote of the people. But that requires an amend- ment to the Constitution, and as the pro- cess for amending the Constitution Is slew, suggestions have sprung up for reaching popular opinion on th2 subject by other means. Two of these suggestions within the past few years have been applied. In South Carolina sentiment is sounded by means of a primary election. Candi- dates for senator are voted for in this way, and the result operates as instruc- tion to the majority of the legislature. The legislature ratifies the choice the people have made at the primaries. The late Senator Earle was chosen by these means, and his successor, Mr. McLaurin, carried the state by the same means over Several competitors. In some of the other states sentiment is taken at the mass convention when a state ticket is nominated. This has been done in Ilinois and Ohio, and the method was propcesed last summer in Virginia and re- ceived a strong support. Senator Daniel opposed it, and his personal influence de- feated it. The republizans of Ohio have twice adopted it. Mr. Foraker was in- dcrsed for senator by a state convention and the legislature ratified the action, and Mr. Hanna is resting his case in the pres- ent complex and somewhat threatening sit- uation on a vote of indorsement he received at the last republican state convention. Me and his friends hold that the action binds every republican member of the newly elected legislature; that the republican ma- THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1897-14 PAGES, jority on joint ballot stands by that action as to ics duty. Without going into the question of the extent and character of the republican opposition to Mr. Hanna, it is clear enough that if the indorsement of him by the re- publican state convention for senator is repudiated by the Ohio legislature, that method of choosing a senator fails. A chain is no-stronger than its weakest link. Such repudiation of instruction opens the door to everybody aga‘n, and the contest takes on all the dangerous phases of the old order of things. —re+o—___ It was to be expected that Weyler’s un- governable habit of talking for print would sooner or later get him into trouble. ———»++e__—_ Luetgert would possibly be willing to go cn being tried for the remainder of his natural life. ——— + +e—____.

From the San Francisco Argonaut. The daily papers are not content with plastering pictures over their pages, most of which are superfluous and all of which are bad. They have now devised all sorts of typographic freaks with ‘which to dis- figure the pages already defaced by poor pictures. It has become a matter of ex- treme difficulty to pursue the windings of an article in and out of the pictures and over to the inner pages, where its ramifi- cations generally terminate. For, accord- ing to the “new journalism,” it is necessary to begin all the news features on the first page with a whoop and a howl, allowing them to trickle out like stale treacle on the inside pages. But this desire to get everything “featured” on the first page has brought about the condition which makes the daily papers look like picture puzzles. As if to add to the confusion, some in- spired editorial idiot has now devised a plan of inclosing in borders all sorts of stories, scraps of interviews, sayings of individuals more or less obscure and the flotsam and jetsam generally of the news of the day. There is thus made up a sort of journalistic remnant-counter or news- paper ragbag, which is surrounded with variegated black borders of varying de- grees of hideousness, and around which must coil and curl and convolute the gen- uine news of the day. The hapless pur- chaser of a newspaper is now forced to pick out the news, not only from amid the pictures which deface the pages of the dailies, but from these typographical mon- strosities as well. The Producer, Henry George. Nor should it be forgotten that the in- vestigator, the philosopher, the teacher, the artist, the poet, the priest, though not engaged in the production of wealth, are not only engaged in the production of utili- ties and satisfactions to which the produc- tion of wealth is only a means, but by ac- quiring and diffusing knowledge, stimulat- ing mental powers and elevating the moral sense, may greatly increase the ability to produce wealth. For man does not live by bread alone. He is not an engine, in which so much fuel gives so much power. On a capstan bar or a topsail halyard a good song tells like muscle, and a ‘“‘Marsell- laise” or a “Battle Hymn of the Republic” counts for bayonets. A hearty laugh, a noble thought, a perception of harmony, may add to the power of dealing even with material things. He who by any exertion of mind or body adds to the aggregate of enjoyable wealth, increases the sum of human knowledge or gives to human life higher elevation or greater fullness—he is in the large meaning of the words a “producer,” a “working- man,” a “laborer,” and is honestly earning honest wages. But he who without doing aught to make mankind richer, wiser, bet- ter, happier, lives on tae toil of others— he, no matter by what name of honor he may be called or how lustily the priests of Mammon may swing their censers before him, is in the last analysis but a beggar- man or a thief. The Trolley «nd Physical Decay. From the Scranton Tribune. : There have been but two magnetic ob- servatories on this continent, one in Wash- ington, the other in Toronto, Canada. So serious have been the effects of electrolysis in the latter place that observations have practically been abandoned, leaving Wash- ington as the only spot where experiments are still conducted. The difficulty expe- rienced there, also, is such that it is pro- posed to do something by legislative means to compel traction companies to adopt sys- tems containing a return wire. Beyond all this assurance of electrical disturbances there now arises a school of theorists who solemnly insist that the growing nervous temperament of the Amer- ican people, their restless volatile condition and tendency to suicide, riot and desperate attempts to set the world straight are due to the influence of this awful trolley wire.
