THE NOYES... a eeeeeeees Editor, EVENING STAR has a regular and munent Family Cireulation much mere than the combined cir- culation of the cther Washington dailies.

China and GeFmany. is sincerely to be hoped that China will stand cut in the matter now in dis- pute between her and Germany. The de- mands of the latier are inordinate and ot ef all connection with the case. The killing of two missionaries and the destruc- tion of church property afford no grounds or such redress as Germany is demanding. What have valuabie raiiroad grants, and commercial concessions. and permanent oc- «upation of a Chinese port by Germany to do either with the deplorable tragedy which has been enacted or with providing against # repetition of it? Missionaries of all na- tionalities should be fe in China, but is that policy calculated to make them safe which associates their lives in this way with an arrogant spread of commercial power? In a word, is this policy of Ger- many, as deseribed, anything better than vafficking in human bleod? If a frenzied mob of fanstical Chinamen shall repeat this bloody outrage in some interior city will Germany sist opon occupying that city also? If so, Germany's proposition is to prop the Bible in China with bayonets and send armed squads along with the colvorteurs. There are three countries which the great powers of Europe are eager to divide among themselves—China, Turkey and Sotth Africa. The problem presents many difficulties, and progress is slow. There 1s he doubt that European civilization would be an inestimable blessing spread in those auarters of the globe. But the work ought not to be attempted under a mask. Put- ting the missionary forward, or permitting him of his own pious, courageous choice to go forward, without protection, and then making his death at the hands of a native mob the pretext for a land-grasping and commercial extension scheme comports neither with Christianity nor with the courage of civilization. It contributes, in- deed, to that distrust of Christian nations t felt by their mi » pagan peoples and proves in s their charge that their own eternal welfare is much jess under consid- eration than the temporary welfare of their invaders. Prince Bismarck is quoted by a Ham- burg newspaper as pronouncing upon “American arrogance” in the Haitian epi- se What the United States has in view in Haiti is to see that a small and helpless ion not dismembered or swallowed ‘ a large and powerful one. And remembered that Germany is opponent, and what Germany is attempting in helpless China, can it be said that the solicitude of this government is unauthorized? ——+ee—___. The President's Grief. ‘The President has the sympathy of the ive nation in his grief caused by the ‘zure of his aged mother with what how seems a fatal illness. “Mother McKin- ley,” as she is affectionately called even by thousands who have never seen her, is a fine type of American womanhood. Her son is chief magistrate of the nation and « man worthy of high esteem, both as an official and an individual. The love he ¥ ‘s her and the tender attentions he has ever paid to her have done much to en- dear him to his fellow-citizens and now Haiti's e that deaih threatens to claim her after her many years of useful life they will all grieve with hi This af- fliction bears upon the President just at the time when the affairs of the republic are more pressing upon his attention than ever before in his administration. gress is to convene Monday and the Prest- dent is to address it for the first time upon general topics relating to the welfare of the nation. Many matters of first importance affecting the domestic and foreign rela- tions of the people are under discussion and their gravity demands an unusual degree of thoughtful consideration on the part of the President. It is no exaggeration, how- ever, to say that the public concern in what the President will have to say in his message is largely subordinated t con- cern over his mother’s serious condition. ———-_ 2em A Handsome Souvenir.

Was it prescience on the part of the press, or wha ——_~ee Awerican Visitors to England. hop Doane of Albany, New York, spent in England last summer and par- ed in the church meetings held at Lambeth. As a distinguished American di- vine he received a good deal of-attention. He met many Englishmen of distinction. Vpon his return home he read his country- men quite a lecture through the newspa- pers on the subject of the great amount of nglish feeling which he charged ex- among them. He lamented the faci iy, and particularly, as he pointed out, because of having so recently heard senti- ressed in England toward Ameri- a thoroughly kindly and cordial na- He put in a good word for arbitra- and said he had found the English favorably inclined toward a useful mprehensive treaty between the two tries. Arbitration, it appeared, had one of the topics which he and his cnglisi friends had discussed with most freedom and agreement. The cable announced yesterday the de- parture from London of Senator Turner of Washington for home. He had been in England fog a month on business. He is a man of large property interests, and pre- sumably while jj England was engaged h matters pertaining to those interests, ‘this naturally brought him into connection with men of affairs, financiers, capitalists, and the like. In a brief interview on the eve of his departure Mr. Turner said to a representative of the Associated Press in response to an inquiry: “I have found no sentiment in England in favor of the re- vival of the arbiiration treaty.” Both of these distinguished men have of course spoken truly. The one undoubtedly heard many pleasant things said of Amert- ca while in England, and no sentiment ex- pressed at all which did not tend to en- j lay courage a reopening of negotiations for ar- bitration, But being a churchman and in England on church business his topics were all in the line of peace and good will among men. It was almost as pat to talk about arbitration as about the ten command- mepts. And there could be no doubt about the sincerity of all that he said and all that he heard on the subject. The other man being a politician and business operator of note was thrown with men of like employ- ment. He was probably not thinking about arbitration but exclusively about business, and probably talked only business on business tines. So that when Mr. Tur- uer says that he “found no sentiment in England in favor of the revival of the ar- bitration treaty,” it would most likely be erroneous to interpret his words as mean- ing that he made soundings for such senti- ment. and failed to find it. His meaning wnost likely was that arbitration had not been a topic between him and his English friends. The people of the United States are not behind the people of England in the matter of good will. American sentiment toward England is quite as cordial as English_sen- timent toward) America. An English churchman can come to the United States and hear many pleasant things said of his country and her people. An English busi- hess man can come and talk business for a month and have no other topic thrust at him. But it would be as unwise for anybody. to assume from the one case that we are’ all sentiment as from the other that we are totally lacking in sentiment. Arbitration with England will probably in time be ef- fected, but it will hardly be hastened by lectures on jingoism such as Bishop Doane delivers, for they are founded upon a one- sided view of the matter, and that view prejudicial to his own countrymen. —_~++e____ The Dingley Law. The Dingley law, after a few months ef trial in adverse circumstances, is again under discussion. The opponents of the law express themselves as well convinced that it is a failure. Tne fact that it has not from the very start yielded a surplcs ef revenue is all they have to go upon, but they nevertheless deliver their opinion with confidence. All explanations of the friends of the law, dealing with anticipa- tory imports under the former law and What not, are brushed lightly aside. The Jaw, tney continue to assert, is a failure and must go. The gentlemen who hold to this view lose sight of a very important fact, and that is that the Dingley law was created to correct two evils. A deficiency in the gov- ernment’s receipts was one, and an ar- rangement of schedule rates prejudicial to the manufacturing interests of this coun- try was the other. The Gorman-Wilson law had resulted not only in depriving the government of money enough for its sup- port, but, by cutting down protection rates in an ill-judged and eccentric fashion, had disorganized business in many lines and even closed up many establishments. The framers of the Dingley law therefore had « task of magnitude and difficulty to per- form and were obliged to keep two ob- jects in view at the same time. A tariff that would yield a sufficient revenue was, of course, their first consideration, but they had likewise to consider the levying it so us to provide that incidental protec- tion to American industries that would quicken again the pulses of business and give to American labor its much deserved and jusily due employment. That the second part of the task—and a very iraportant part it was—has been well executed admits of no question. Business everywhere under the protection featur of the law has been revived, and wages & consequence of the revival have in many lines been advanced. The business interests, which complained so much and so rightfully of the Gorman-Wilson law, have nothing but praise for the present law, which, indeeG, urlike its predecessor, was ‘ramed, not against their protests, but with their assistance and counsel. As for the revenue-producing features of the Dingley law, that is not to be con- demned as early as this. Imports have no. been reguiated by normal conditions since the law went into effect. But if, upon ia fair trial, the law should show the need of strengthening on that point the work can be done without seri- ‘ying the present adjustment of nt schedules taken as a whole. —— +0 —____ The Profits of Rapid Transit. Mest welcome news was that brought by the special dispatch to The Star from Ba!- timore yesterday, which confirmed the statement previously printed that the E ington street car line will soon be equipped with underground electric motive power. Let us hope that it will prove to be true, and that its truth will be made plain to all men at an early day. But the good work should not be allowed to stop with the Eckington road. The Belt line ought to be similarly equipped and without de- There was a time when that line had an excellent patronage, and was, it is be- lieved, run at a handsome profit. That condition of things no longer exists; but it could be speedily brought about again with improved service. But not otherwise. Nothing so much tends to induce travel as frequent and rapid transportation facili- ties. With proper accommodations the Belt line can not only draw back its -old travel, but add new and constantly in- creasing custom from quarters that never patronized it before, so that both stock- holders and the public would be benefited. ————+ +e —__. Bismarck comments severely upon what he is pleased to term ‘America’s’ arro- gance. If there is anything Bismarck’s re cent experiences gave him cause to dislike, it is arrogance.

It is suggested that the Hawaiian annex- ation treaty be ccnsidered by the Senate in open session. ‘There is certainly no overwhelming reascn way this should not be done, nor is there any more reason why it should be done than exists in the case of practically every general subject that the Senate debates behind closed doors. The Hawaiian topic is, well understood by the people. It has been discussed pro and con for many months until it is as familiar in all its bearings as the silver problem. There will, therefore, be little tnformation for the American public in the iebates on the treaty beyond what ts already at hand. Interest will attach, of course, to the utti- tude :ssumed by individual senators and to the arguments which the opponents of annexation advance to support their views. ‘The Senate's so-called “secret” sessions are no longer mysteries. The proceedings mry not become known in absolute detail, but it is notorious that turough many ieaks the main facts of the debates conducted Lehind closed doors invariably filter to the reading public. Under such circumstances the treaty debate will probably be pretty well followed by the citizens notwithstaniing the barriers between them and the Senate chamber. It is of course possible that in the course of the debate some situation may erise to call forth expressions bearing delicately vpon our foreign reiations. The matter is essentially international in its main aspect, though a large part of the Giscussion thus far conducted has borne upon the domestic reasons for and against annexation. If necessity should arise for plain speaking in the debate about other nations in such manner as to create any possible cause for friction, the executive session will be jus- tified by the circumstances. But there is @ bare possibility that the treaty may not secure quite the necessary two-thirds vote in the Senate, in which case it is certain that steps will immediately be taken to put through both houses a legislative prop- osition providing for annexation. This may, of course, be discussed in open ses- sicn at both ends of the Capitol, and it will be in order for the opposing sides to declare themselves frankly and openly upon any phase of the case, domestfc or international. The mere fact that this course is inevitable in the House will rob the situation of much of its delicacy under any circumstances, and there is good rea- fon now why the Senate should give some consideration to th2 proposition to open the dcors when the treety is under debate, —> ¢ =—_____ Writers differ in their descriptions of the Spanish soldiers in Cuba.

In a country as big as this one, and so well provided with means of transporta- tion, change of season has comparatively little effect upon the markets, and there are only a few edibles that cannot be ob- tained all the year round for somewhere near to a moderate price. Few people, to be sure, are eating strawberries this month, and yet they are on sale here in consid. erable quantities, and it is not necessary to be a millionaire to get some of them. In Washington market Saturday night strawberries were sold for 6) cents a box. It wasn’t a very large box, to be sure, but its contents would have made a good show- ing if divided on two reasonably small plates, and the berries were as large and fragrant, as well colored and as sweet as those that come in June or July. They were grown in the open air, too, and in the United States. To be definite, they were products of southern California, and the long journey had been made so rapidly and so cheaply that the quality of the berries had not gone down at all nor their price up very much. ——__ +++ ____ Be Fair About It. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Louisiana, too, is going to have an edu- cational qualification for the suffrage, and some “of her newspapers want the Missis- sippl plan to be followed. An educational qualification is all right if it bears equally on both races. One trouble with the Mis- sissippi plan, and also with the South Caro- lina system, is that, through the manner in which it is enforced, and in which it was intended to be enforced, it hits the illiterate negro harder than it does the illiterate white man. This is not fair. The law should recognize no color line. ——___-> eo _____ Deserve What They Get. From the Savannah News, Some sage has said in effect that every political body is governed as it deserves to be. There is thought ‘in the statement for the people of Savannah and of Georgia. So long as the people permit it, they will be governed by a_machine controlled by a few men. If the people will permit their will to be overridden by the machine, they deserve precisely the kind of government which the machine will give them. —_—___~+e—___- A Real Boss Never Sues, From the Springfield Republican.
