NOYES... and permanent > much more than the combined ctr- void delays, on ac- letters to absence, ut simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or MBuxiness Depart- ments, according to te! A Peculiar Attita ‘The attitude of this government toward the Cuban insurgents is peculiar, and it may well occasion the insurgents them- selves to wonder. We believ2 that their cause is just. but we will not help them to establish it. On the contrary, we are doing all in our power to help Spain. If Spain succeeds in re-es- tablishing her brutal authority in the is- lend. it will be very largely through the sistance of the United States. We are carrying the big end of the stick. Spain. in effect, acknowledges this herself; for if it is true, as she asserts, that the tnsur- gents have been able to make the demon- stration they have made against her by aid of assistance received from these stores, how very much more would they have been able to do had that assistance not been reduced to a minimum by the activity of this government in enforcing neutrality laws. As a matter of fact, therefore, we are helping to hammer into subjection again a people whose struggle for independ- ence we approve, and of whose persecu- tions under Spanish control we are well aware, : We will not help the Cuban people to es- tablish their freedom—are doing everything in our power to hinder and foil their own efforts to that end—but if, without us, and even against us, they succeed, we will at once become a controlling factor in the case. Suppose, after throwing off the Spanish yoke, and effecting an organization of their own affairs, the people of Cuba shoul decide to offer themselves to the Protection of Great Britain, or Germany, or even republican France, upon the score that they would feel more secure under the reign of a great power disposed to use them weil. Would they be permitted to consummats any such arrangement? As- suredly not. This government would at once interfere. The Monroe doctrine would be asserted in the swift space of a second. ‘We will not, then, help them to establish their freedom, but if they establish it themselves, we will put a limit upon what they shali do with it. But we are, of course, safe on that score. Freedom for Cuba means profit to the United States. The struggle in the island fs for independence, and independence will ean close relations of every kind with the United States. The insurgents desire it, despite our treatment of them, and their interests imperativeiy demand it. They are imbued with republican ideas, the mar- ket for their productions is here, and they are almost in outing distance of our Shores. If they succeed in throwing off the Spanish yoke, and should then, for any cause, desire a union with some Btronger power, their overtures will be made to us. Does the recognition of this fact account, in any measure, for our com- Placency in the prem —_ + +2 —___ Change the Name. It is not too late for the Commissioners to change their decision in the matter of naming the new school building at Ecking- ton. It is stated that the citizens of that suburb have desired that the house be ed after the location, thus giving it a strictly neighborhocd title, and that their wishes are to be respected. This is con- trary to the general policy that has been edepted in the past and that should i continued in the future, of naming these structures in general after ex-Presidents of the United States and ex-governors, ma ors and Commissieners of the District. That policy has not confined the chvice of names to men who have died, but in sev- €ral instances living persons have been thus honored. The Star has called atten- tion eceasionally to the fact that of all the local rulers who ha Gistineticn Alexander did more than any other one man the beautiful Wasiington of to- bility, has been neglected. The recognition of his great services to tal is the naming of an obscure alley after him It would be a graceful act on the part of the present board of Commissioners to take advantage of the excellent opportunity to correct this cmis- on presented by the school at Eckington. This sub-division is practically now within the city. Its boundaries and that of the are adjacent and in a short time the natural growth of both will merge them until the suburb will be for all practical purposes part ani parcel of the urban apital. Under cumstances it 1s i to give local names to these schools, when the suburbs in which they are built are separated some distance from the city, but in the case t this reason for the adoption of ighborhood name fail: The r all point clearly to a reconsideration the decision und the i's name cn the building. This choice would be espe- cially appropriate in view of the fact that pis is to be the pioneer type of the rew school of lo publi hitecture, just as Governor Shepherd was a pioneer in the consummation of the beautiful plans ef the capital city. of hestowal of Governor She os m of the reading public's in- political affairs is encouraging to become careless with their @iamonds again. : ——_-+-_____ The manner tn which the Cincinnatt Bess withdrew from politics was a very 600d imitation of 2 man dodging ar elec- tric car. ——— ee Mr. Bryan in 1900. ‘The relaxat terest in actresses There is some industry in the line of Picking out a running mate for Mr. Bryan in 1000. It seems carly for the work, and attaches, but if Me. Bryan is to democr..¢ andidate for the pres- e th ‘ Idency again the importance of the work is easily c ded. An effort will of course be made to avoid repeating the mistake of Jast year. Mr. Bryan had two running mates then, and neither was suited for the Place. Mr. Sewall, by reason of his large wealth and corporation interests and con- nections, was unacceptable to the popufists of the western and middle states, and Mr. Watson, by reason of his extreme populist @eliverances, was unacceptable to the demo- rats everywhere. It would be too much to @ay that the mistake made in completing the ticket contributed greatly to the de- feat of the ticket, for the campaign in the end did not turn on the double tail to Mr. Bryan's kite, but it was a bungling per- formence which at the start invited a good eal of ridicule. Starting with the assumption of his ad- wirers that Mr. Bryan wiil again lead the @ilver forces on practically the platform of Jast year, two questions present themselves connection with completing the next ticket. () The kind of man for second piace, and (2) the section from which he should be chosen. Last year’s appeal—going back to the phraseology of last year’s campeign—was “to the masses as against the classes.” The existing order of things was generally arraigned. It was conterded that prosper- ity, under that order, had come to a few at the expense of the many. Mr. Bryan, in his own person, did not embarrass the cry. He was poor, had made his way to the front without the aid of fortune, and Was readily accepted as the poor man’s champion. Mr. Sewall, in his person, did embarrass the cry. He was rich, and was closely identified with prosperous business interests, and s0 the outcry against the moneyed classes in his name “jangled, out of tune, and harshly,” The right man for rvnring mate for Mr. Bryan, therefore, would appear te be, not a rich man, con- necting with weatlh at all points of the financial compass, nor yet a shrewd politi- cin, famous for “fine work” at the primar- jes and all along’ the line of organization, but some man like himself, strong in the key of crusade, and a rattler on the stump. The question of iocality would appear to Gepend on whether Mr. Bryan is to repeat Fis phrase about “the eremy’s country.” If he should repeat that, the east will prob- ably be barred from the calculations. If nothing is to be expected from the east, there will be no important end served in going to the east for the tail of the ticket. It may ‘be urged with force that as the south and west and middle states are to provide the victory, if victory is to be at- tained, those sections should make the whole ticket. With Mr. Bryan as the con- tribution of the west for first place, the contest for second place, according to such an arrangement, will lie between the south and the middle states. But 1900 is several years off. Matters political are very much unsettled and very uncertain. Old favorites are dropping out. New figures are appearing on the horizon. It is dangerous, indeed, even in this era of “hot times’ and patent incubators, to count chickens before they are hatched. —____+ «= —____ Cloture for the Senate. The question of cloture for the Senate is again under discussion. It is an old ques- tion, interesting in its way, and important, but, unfortunately, it is always presented at a time when success is entirely out of all probability. Mary eminent parliamen- tarians believe that such a rule would work well in the Senate, and several dis- tinguished members of that body within the past few years have endeavored to bring the change about. Mr. Hill of New York, Mr. Mills and Mr. Hoar have sub- mitted resolutions on the subject, but with- out securing action on them. The resolu- tions died in committee. It is suggested now that only by means of cloture can a currency reform bill be put through the Senate at the coming session. That admission in itself makes cloture at this time impossible. The currency prob- lem is one of the most important of prob- Jems. It is more difficult, from the purely parliamentary standpoint, than the silver problem. There are more divisions on tt than on the silver problem. Senators are either for free coinage at 16 to 1 as an in- dependent act by this government, or are against it. That question has been pretty thoroughly discussed. But the currency question is in a large measure new. Much has been said, but much more remains to be said, about it, and there is a great va- riety of opinion as to what. if anything, should be done. It is plain, therefore, that when the Senate takes it up, if it docs take it up, the old rule for what is called full and free debate, but which provides simply for unlimited debate, will be applied and will govern the debate. Much as cloture is desired by those who advocate it, it is ro easy matter to con- ceive of circumstarces favorable to its adoption by the Senate. When measures of the highest tn portance are up, the point is made that the country wants and should have only well-considered legislation, and cioture is resisted on the score that it pro- vides means for taking a hasty legislative judgment. When measures of small mo- ment are up, delays are never employed, ard cloture, consequently, is never men- tioned. Indeed, if the Senate's rulgs are ev to be changed in this regard it must be practically by unanimous consent, for debate on a proposition for cloture would proceed just as unlimitedly as debate on any other subject does. To invoke cloture, therefore, in the interest of a measure upon which the Serate is seriously divided will, if it should be done, result only in giv- ing the Senate another topic to talk about. —___+ ++ _____ The Responsibility for Bird Slaughter At the final session of the annual meet- ing of the American Ornithologists’ Union im New York yesterday the committee on bird protection presented a report that severely scored the feminine custom of wearing birds’ feathers, wings and bodies on hats. The committee believed that the women feel too little personal responsi- bility for the presence of these ornaments on their bonnets and hats, arguing with their own consciences that inasmuch as they did not kill the birds they are entitled to utilize the fruits of other people’s crimes against the feathered friends of humanity. This attitude cannot be too severgly con- demned. Every person who wears a hat trimmed with parts of. birds contributes directly and personally to the trade and the slaughter. The continuance of the de- mand alone accounts for the continuance of the stpply. The responsibility lies pri- marily with the women who want these trimmings and not with those whose com- mercial motives lead them to slay the birds for profit. For the latter there is a slight measure of excuse, for their temptation arises from thelr necessities, while the women who cncourage the traffic are in- spired solely by their vanity. Until the truth of this proposition is made clear to the patrons of this sort of millinery no headway can be made in the fight for the preservation of the birds. It is gratifying to note that the next annual meeting of this union will be held in Washington, and it is to be hoped that the sessions will cause the women of the capital to realize in a measure the folly and harmfulness of bedecking themselves with the frag- ments of slaughtered songsters. ———_~++—___—_ ‘The Ghicago horse show is regarded with patronizing levity by New York.

Notwithstanding the defeat of the cause in New York, good government on busi- ness-like lines put above mere partisanship is shortly to have a trial in two of the large cities of the country. William T. Malster, @ republican, !s soon to be inaugurated mayor of Baltimore. Among his supporters supporters at the polls were many republi- the own party. His success also cans, who preferred him to of te will preside an administration whose first consideration shall be the good of the city and not the advancement of the inter- ests of a political organization. The country will wish these two officials every success in their undertaking. It is in every way an important undertaking. The affairs of cities, strictly speaking, are not political affairs. No abstruse or complex Problems are presented. The people wil- lingly submit to a reasonable tax rate, and have a right to demand in return an hon- est and economical expenditure of their money by the officials whom they have placed in office. Why should a police de- partment be filled with the heelers of ward bosses? Why should a fire depart- ment be recruited from ward clubs? Why should contractors, bidding on work for a .city, be assessed by ward bosses for polit- ical purposes? That police department, that fire department, those contractors for city work, render the best service when di- vorced entirely from the harrassments and domination of political machines. The whole business of a cily, indeed, is nothing but business, and there is no reason why Politics, properly so-called, should be in- voked in its conduct at all. There is a good deal of responsibility, therefore, resting on the shoulders of the two newly elected mayors of Baltimore and Louisville. They will be a good deal in evi- dence during the terms for which they have n elected, and their performances will be brought under the strong glass of @ rigid inspection. Their administrations will even be brought into comparison for efficiency with those of Mayor Harrison in Chicago and Mayor Van Wyck in Greater New York, both of which will show the features of regular, dyed-in-the-wool parti- san rule, the motto of which is, the ma- chine first, and then the city. ——>+s____ After some of the things which have happened in the way of theatrical enter- tainment, it would be a positive relief to encounter once more the woman who goes upon the stage with the purpose of elevat- Ing it. —>++e—___ Mr. Tom Johnson is one of the gentle- men who may now find it desirable to pose as a sphinx for a while. ——so_____ No sconer does the German Emperor be- ecme comparatively quiet than Mount Vesuvius becomes uneasy.

'Yes,"" replied her practical brother. Sa getting so both are measured by the footy” “Parents takes a heap o’ pleasure,” said Uncle Eben, “in payin’ ‘tention an’ gibbin’ dah chillun a heap o’ credit foh smahtness. But it doan’ alius happen dat de chillun grows up an’ returns de compliment.” A Bicycle Picture. He kneels before her and he seems To tell of true love's fire; Alas, such thoughts are less than dreams, He's pumping up a tire. A Malapropos Motto. “What pretty illuminated cards! ex- claimed one woman. “That one with the motto, ‘Honesty is the best policy,’ is espe- clally nice. “Yes,” replied the other. “I brought them from Europe, and the best of it is I got them through, with a lot of other things, without paying a cent of duty.” Astonished. “ “Was there anything so wonderful in Leander’s swimming the Hellespont?” “Yes,” replied the theatrical manager. “It has always been a mystery to me why he wasted his opportunities” and threw away his life. He could have made enough mcney with a tank drama to buy a steam taunch.” A November Salutation, It is not the dead leaf nor the bountiful sheaf, Nor the bough that is wailing so sadly That gives us assurance of speedy relief From the moist warmth that used us so badly. The warning which tells us that Pleasure is near And bids us be ready to greet her Is the “rat-tat-tat-tat” that is sounded so clear And sharply upon the steam heater, Ah, better by far than the garlanded bow- ers Are its cobwebby corners so rusty; Though others desert in our needier hours, This friend remains loyal and trusty. And just when the world seems to leave us but pain, When blisses are vanishing daily, New comforts are promised us in the re- frain That is thumped from its spirals so Baily. The scientists say in their knowledgous way, What produces the noise is a bubble. But facts, like all stubborn things, bring us dismay; They cause the world no end of trouble. Let's agree that, since Ceres like Flora has flown, Old Vulcan, though powerless for beauty, Is doing his best for their loss to atone And desires us to know he’s on duty. —_- +s ____ Purging the Pension Rolls, From the New York Tribune Public sentiment has in effect justi; irrevocably decreed that the poe can be safely and equitably overhauled by the friends of the system, but never by its foes. It is nonsense to deny that one polit- ical party is to a great extent influenced a — foes. le present administration has pecull; advantages for the performance of much a publie service. No one would imagine that Major McKinley had become indifferent to the rignts of his old comrades in arms or would tolerate any injustice to them by officials of his selection. But none realize more keenly than the old soldiers them- selves how great injustice is done to them by prevalent ideas regarding the condition of the pension rolls, and none would be more anxious to see all cases of mistake or fraud weeded out, so that thé country might know that the payments made were strictly warranted by the intent and the letter of the law. It will not be said by any one acquainted with the trend of pub- lic opinion that such a service would be ot small benefit. It would greatly strengthen the government and the cause of honest pensioners also. It would make clear be fore the country and the world that the great body of pension disbursements is, in fact, free from fraud and justified by the nation’s gratitude to its defenders, ————++o____ Civilians’ Interest in the Army.
