The Next House. In New York and Ohio and measurably in Kentucky the factional fighting among the republicans which waged so fiercely during the recent state campaigns still keeps up. It is bound to be u most expen- sive activity. It has already, indeed, cost that party very dearly. More than state issues were involved In the recent contests, und certainly more than state issues will be involved in the contests of next year. The elections for a new House of Representa- tives will be strictly national in character and of far-reaching importance. There will not be the slightest room for doubt as to what will be !nvolved in-them, and those who desire and expect to contribute further to the cause of sound money cannot afford to delay < calm survey of the situation. There is apparently in some quarters a disposition on the part of sound money men te take things easily for awhile. They had persuaded themselves that this was an “off year,” and so did not bestir themselves. They are not so sure that even next year’s centests are of great moment, ccnsidered in ccnnection with the next presidential race. Suppose the silver men should carry the next House and signalize their achievement by passing a free coinage bill at the first session of the new House. And suppose further that the Senate should take the bill up and pass it. It could not become a law. ‘The President would veto it, and that would end it. ‘Those who reason in this way take a very short-sighted and mistaken view of the question. This year’s contests were important because the sound money forces were on the skirmish line of next year's battle, and next year’s battle will be of greater importance because the sound money forces will then be on the skirmish line of the general engagement which is to come in 1900, There are no “off years,” as matters now stand. Every contest has its relation to the prime necessity of making secure the resuit of last’ year’s victory. Any surrender of any antage then gained, or any impairment, by factional fighting or other means, of the alliances then effected for the preservation of the public credit. is a most serious mistake. » that the President, in the cir- wu ‘mentioned. would stand be- tween the country and silver mono- metalism. His veto could be depended “ave the country temporarily from i sasters of such legislation. But would sters of great force proceed from the mere sending of such 2 bill to him by ss? Would not the public credit, and abroad, suffer materially simply such a threat of silver monometal- The control of the next House is of the first moment. and the friends of sound money cannot overestimate its importance. —_+ ee —____ Something Slower Discovered at La: The citizens of Detroit are happy today, for on this day the great federal building in that city is to be occupied for the first time. The building was begun eleven years age next January and thus there is appar- ent consolation in the experience of Detroit for the citizens of Washington, who have enly been waiting five years and nine months for their new building. But the end is not yet and there is no real reason to congratulate the Washingtonians on the prospect that Detroit may be beaten by several years, for discoveries of bad work- manship are being made at tie local build- ing at a rate that seems to ersure that It will be many, many months before the structure can be occupied for use. The latest revelation in this direction is a most serious blow of all to the local hopes, for the failure of the skylight necessitates a ieng postponement o7 the use of the in- terior court, which prevents the removal of the clty post office to its new quarters inasmuch as this court is to be used for the general mail-handling room. Now that yoth the floors and the roof have been tound to be deficient the natural tendency is to suspect all features of the construc- tion and thus the Detroit building Is not so very far ahead after all in the matter of time-consumption. Yet it is comforting to know that so far a= matters have now xone there is sumething on record as being slower in its evolution than the Washing- ton post effice. ——_~ e+ __ Mrs. Nack’s confession will probably re- sult in the executicn of one of the two criminals coacerned. This is a gruesome «xemplification of the Saw, “a wrong con- fessed is half redressed.” ————_ reo Spain has indulged in muci eircumtocu- tion to make it clear that it is anxious to have its own way, but does not desire to fight for it. ———s +o—____ Piracy im the Mediterran It is a strange commentary on the civili- zation of this end of the nineteenth century that piracy should again be occupying the ‘tention of the European nations as a subject demanding immediate and serious tention. Yet such is the case and under cireumstances so peculiar as to indicate in ure one of the chief dangers of European peace. The north shore of Mor- cece is marked by a series of bluffs that, precipitously from the Mediter- n, afford few harbors for legitimate and many secure hiding places for ers and outlaws. These cliffs, known Rif or Riff mountains, are now shel- a band or perhaps a number of is of pirates who, unmolested by the 2 of Morocco and apparently standing - awe of the navies and armies of ionally swoop down on trad- sels and passenger ships and cap- rn and women whom they hold for nsoms. This practice, a revival of piracy of several scores of years ago, d the United States into war with Morocco and displayed the bravery and sxill of American seamen, has become so «nnoying and threatening as to call for the intervention of some power. The United States recently sent a ship of war to Moor- ish waters to protect American trade, and to good effect, but there are now, it is ftated, fully fifty Europeans held in the Rit Inountains as hostages, extortionate sums Leing demarded for their ‘release. Italy, pain und Portugal are the chief sufferers in the matter, and each of the three desires to take summary measures against the pirates, but concerted action between them, such as is needed, seems to be impossible, owing to the jealousy of one country for another and the suspicion that each seems to entertain as to the good faith of the Italy however has at last deter- according to report, to send a into the haunts of the pirates and pick up their vessels one by one. When at- tacked these brigands of the Mediterranean make for the shore and once in the hilis they are safe as the landing places are few and dangerous and the nooks in the mountains are practically inaccessible. What embarrasses the case is the fear that against the pirates the latter would kill the hostages now in their power. Accordingty an effort is now being made to secure the release of the prisoners, after which Italy hopes to organize a raid to clean out the Rif mountains and the Mediterranean of these human vermin. The sultan of Mor- occo is not only inactive while the pirates are carrying on their business, but it is suspected that he is complacent and per- haps a party to their operations. At all events, he is feared by the powers of Eu- rope just as the sultan of Turkey is feared. Morocco is a weak state and could readily be crushed, as it should be; in the interests ef civilization and humanity, but there is none £0 brave as to take the first step, that, it is feared, will precipitate the Mo- hamedan uprising that Europe has dreaded for many years. The ugly condition of af- fairs in India fs a hint as to the danger that exists in Morocco. The sultan, know- ing this feeling of apprehension, is far more independent in his dealings with the powers of Europe than his national sirength alone warrants. He probably could put an end to the piracy in the Rit region with comparatively slight difficulty but he prefers for his own purposes to foster the business and to keep Europe un- easy. Aside from the religious war that is so keenly dreaded, it is felt that any move toward a readjustment of the political lines of northern Africa would bring about a general quarrel among the European pow- ers themselves that would perhaps precipi- tate the crisis which has been.threatening the contirent for a score or more of years. Italy will probably find her task of punish- ing the Rif pirates, therefore, even harder than the subjugation of King Menelik. —_——__-+ 0-= —____ Phe Snarl in Ohio. That opposition to Mr. Hanna exists within the ranks of the Ohio republicans is plain enough. It was demonstrated at the recent election in the state. Mr. Han- ra's fortunes depended on the legislative uckets, and the total vote for those tickets was nearly twenty-five thousand less than that for governor. But one may well re- fuse to accept the stories that are now in cireulation as to particulars of that oppo- sition. and as to the present intentions of prominent men with whom Mr. Hanna has not been in close accord. Governor Bush- nell, National Committeeman Kurtz, and Senator Foraker, all are made to figure in the gossip. Mr. Kurtz last year aspired to the chair- m.enship of the state committee. Mr. Han- na objected, and a friend of Mr. Hanna was chosen. It ts now charged that to revenge himself on Mr. Hanna, Mr. Kurtz devoted his energies all through the cam- paign against the legislative tickets of his party, and even put himself in direct com- munication with the democratic leaders in order to make his work the more effective. This is, in effect, to charge that Mr. Kurtz is utterly untrustworthy, and goes to sug- gest that he was very properly not called to the responsible duty ef conducting the pstate campaign. Mr. Kurtz's repudiation of certain statements put into his mouth that had a tendency to cenfirm this charge is in defense of his character as a man. Senator Foraker is being still more se- verely assailed. He was on the stump all through the campaign, speaking for both the state and legislative tickets, and, as he now declares, with the understanding that the choosing of a republican legisla- ture would mean the success of Mr. Hanna, and yet the public is asked to believe that during all that time the senator's house in Cincinnati was the rendezvous for all the anti-Hanna republicans in the town. In other words, Mr. Foraker is represented as being both revengeful and hypocritical. The yarn that Governor Bushnell would accept, and was even scheming to secure, the senatorship for himself, by means of @ combination nine parts democratic and one part ‘anti-Hanna republican, seems to have been abandoned. That was found to be too rank for the credulity of even the present excited buckeye era. Politics engenders some sharp rivalries and factional knives are often sent to the grindstone to be put in the most effective order. But the offenses with which Sena- tor Foraker and Mr. Kurtz are charged would, if sustained, completely destroy both men. Mr. Hanna could go down un- der a charge of too much bossism, and hope to rise again by mending his ways, but treachery is something from which no political leader ever does, or ever should, recover. ——___ ++ = —___ Carr's Mistake and Foultz’s Chance. Young “Pat Carr would probably have given himself up immediately after the ccmmission cf his gross crime last July if he could have known how short a term he would have to serve for it. He would then have been spared his fortnight of hicing, with short rations; fears and serious discomforts. His experience now suggests to Mr. Dorsey Foultz the advisability of surrendering himself without further de- lay. Doubtless that elusive individual would willingly entrust himself to the care of the police if he could be guaranteed a punishment measared upon the same scale as that which has been applied to the Carr ease. Hiding is hard work, under the keen eyes of the Washington police, and it is harcly worth while for criminals to put themselves to such annoyances to avoid slight punishments. The approach of win- ter should give this logic convincing force to Mr. Foultz. +o ____ One of the best possible evidences of Spain's sincerity in proposing Cuban re- forms would be the establishment of a branch of the society for the prevention of cruelty to children. Luetgert cannot see why eleven jurors cannot go ahead with a murder trial. There are circumstances under which he would be willing to get along with three. ———~---___ It is only justice to state that the failure of the horse show at Chicago was in no- wise due to the manner tn which the horses conducted themselves. With the optimism which rejoices in pursuit as much as in possession, Mr. Bryan gives thanks this month for what he hopes to get in 1900. The next time Mr. Hanna has a recon- ciliation with Mr. Foraker he should insist on having a date of expiration formally specified. The Rethschilds have had the temerity to affront Spain's superlative pride to the enpardonable extent of refusing to loan her money. > —___ Mr. Platt is regarded by Tammany as an “easy boss” in every sense of the phrase. +o _____ ‘The Charity Problem. The annual meeting of the Associated Charities, held last evening, developed tnat this organization is in good condition for meeting the problems of the winter, both financially and in the matter of valuable experience. The reports showed that the work last season was well done and that the charitable efforts of the citizens are gradually becoming more systematic and effective. The balance on hand indicates that economy and judicious generosity go hand in haad and shows that it is not nec- essary to spend lavishly in order to prevent suffering. Organization and system are the chief requirements in any charity work, and the citizens of the capital are learning the lesson that individual alms-giving with- out direction from a central agency is det- rimental to the general scheme of the relief of the peor. It is gratifying to note that the work of the prevention of destitution is being pressed with success. The project of that if @ general assault should be made | encouraging the poor people to save their THE EVENING STAR, community are to be congratulated upon the prospect that the annual problems of reef will gradually grow less perplexing. 2 oe The labored conspicuousness of the law- yers in the Nack-Thorn case suggests that they may have been willing to accept ad- vertisirg in lieu of some of the fees. 0 The Thanksgiving proclamation is of great use in calling attention to governors who would not otherwise be heard of. ——_+eo ———- Mr. Croker will leave Hot Springs be- cause he finds the title, like “Reform,” a misnomer. —_++s—____ SHOOTING STARS. Encouragement. “Don't gei discouraged, my boy,” said the pubilsher patronizingly. ‘There will always be a demand for good literature.” “I was afruid the demand for it -was dying out,” replied the high-browed youth. “Not a bit of it. Not a bit of it. There will never be a time when magazines are so crowded with advertisements that they ‘won't have space for a few stories and poems and things.” A Play House Query. These folk who raise applause so loud and long— They are among the mysteries of this earth. Seek they to praise the singer or the song? Or do they merely want their money's worth? Ne Objection to Foot Ball. “I hear that your friend has had some trouble playing foct ball.” “No,” was the reply: “so long as he stuck to foot ball everything was all right. It was not until a few players tried to branch out into a riot that the trouble began.” The Richest Find. “What was the richest find you made? And after long thought the returned gold- seeker answered, “A pound of coffee in an abandoned shanty. Mandy to Have Around. “If there's anything that wearies me,” he said, with emphasis, “it's this talk about its being anything but a delight to have a girl marry a young man who comes to live with the family.” “Do you speak from experience?” “Of course 1 do. My daughter has mar- ried a young man who is going to live with us tll he gets established in business. And he can have gobelin tapestry and gold door- knobs if they're necessary to keep him from moving away before the winter's over.” “What 1s his business?” “He's a plumber.” The Chrysanthemum. Beware, beware, chrysanthemum, For pride will have a fall! From year to year you boldly come In sizes that appall: And, not content though you've attained A wondrous size and vigor, You strive—to note it we are pained— Unceasing to get bigger! Do not forget how oft distress Will follow vain pretensions; The real gem does nct impress Because of its dimensions, So heed the warning of this text; This brief prophetic ballad; You'll turn into a cabbage next, Not even fit for salad!. ——————- +> ___ Canadian Reciprocity and Annexation From the Philadelphia Press. The pending negotiations on reciprocity with Canada, now in progress at Washing- tcn, will excite grave suspicion if they are permitted to end with any compromise or ecncession by this country shared by Great Britain. t There is no reason why this country stould make the position of Canada casier while it retains its imperial connection. Our duty is to make the colonial position first arduous and then impossible. For us, concession to Canada is a blunder. The Present regulations as to Canadian trans- shipment should all be revcked. No priv- ileges should be enjoyed by Canadian rail- roads cn our lines. Congress ought itself to impose again the differential duty on foreign imports from Canada which the Attorney Gereral unwisely sophisticated out of existence. . If Canada were cut off from the priv- ileges she now enjoys its railroads would become bankrupt. No more privileges pould be granted, be the concession what it may, unless exclusive. Nor should the seals be made the basis of bargain or com- promise. In their present plight they are worth nothing for revenue. If Canada is not ready on general principles to protect the seal herd let it go. Complete the slaughter which Canada has begun and free ourselves of a burden on which the United States, thanks to Canadian poazn- ing, has already spent more than the herd is worth. Neither the Senate nor the House will accept any arrangement with Canada on any lines which prepose privileges y.hich England shares or which barters cur raarkets, which are worth something, for a seal herd, which is worth nothing. The powers of the Dingley tariff are not granted to the President to make conces- sicnsbut to make trade. In the case of Canada, final annexation is the primary consideration. If Mr. Laurier forgets this the treaty which he negotiates will be ap- proved neither by the public nor by the republican party. —— Trading Material for Reciprocity. From the New York Tribune. Reciprocity does not mean exclusively exchange of import privileges. It may be fo.nd that Canada can be compensated by this country in other directions, and, in- deed, that she {s already enjoying advan- tages for which this country may ‘well ask further return. The railroad bonding priv- ilege is ore. It {s of inestimable value to Canada. ‘The prosperity of her entire rail- rcad system depends upon it. ‘That it is of anything like equal value to this country fs not to be believed. In return for a pro- lorgation of that system this government mignt well ask for a modification of some items of the Canadian tariff or for other concessions by the Dominion government. There are matters enough at issue between the two to furnish trading material for a compgehensive scheme of reciprocity with- out working any hardship to either coun- try. ——>+e—____ “Unsatisfactory” Corporal New. From the Chicago Chronicle. It would be unfair and unwarranted to charge Captain Browne with malice in re- ducing Corporal New to the ranks—New having testified against Captain Lovering before the recent court of inquiry. At the same time it may be suggested that Capiain Browne would have given less handie to uppleasant rumor if he had pursued the usual course of bringing New before the garrison court instead of stripping him of his stripes without offering any reason, cx- cept the general one that New was “unsat- isfactory” as a corporal. As Captain Browne chose the latter course he can hardly be surprised if the public as well as the enlisted men at Fort Sheridan draws unflattering conelusions from it. ———_+ +e —___ Let the Law Alone, From the Syracuse Standard. ————— +22 Jury-Choosing East and West.
