THE EVENING STAR has « regular and permanent Family Circulation much more tham the combined cir- culation of the other Washington News and Advertising it has mo competitor. {Im order to avoid delays, on ac- eount of personal absence, letters to THE STAR shi fo any individ: Office, the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. — How Long a Trialt If autonomy fails in Cuba the United States will intervene. This now is the distinct understanding. Mr. Hitt's speech is accepted as authoritative on the point. No time is set for determining the issue, mor any condition of things described which shall guide the President's judgment. Only the simple statement. If autonomy fails in Cuba the United States will inter- vere. How is it possible for autonomy to suc- ceed? It has been rejected by the insur- Bents, it is leading to riot within the Span- ish lines, and it is well known that nobody in this country expects it to succeed. On the contrary, the expectation in this coun- try is that autonomy will fail. Arrange- ments have actually been made to act in accordance with that expectation. Ships of war are almost in line ready for sailing. ‘The largest fleet seen off the South Atlan- tic coast for years is now assembled, within six hours of Havana. This is a most important fact. Nor can General Bianco keep the news out of Cuba. ‘The insurzents have it, the anti-autono- mists in Havana have it, and both are encouraged by it. They understand its full significance. They have but to redouble their exertions, as both will proceed to do, to bring the United States into the field. ‘The astute Spanish minister at this capi- tal sees the point. His protracted visit to the State Department yesterday is evi- dence of how keenly alive he is to the Present situation. Nobody should desire to force the Presi- dent's hand, and probably nobody does. But it is legitimate to inquire as to the terms of the trial autonomy is to have, and to suggest the advisability of consult- ing the proper sources of information. No reliance whatever shouldbe placed on the statements which are prepared to pass the Dive pencil of the press censor at Havana. They are naturally a part of the Spanish game, designed to mislead the authorities rere and secure delay. The Spanish will continue to succeed in all of the running fichts, and tke insurgents be made to play a paltry part. Autonomy will win hands down in all of the Havana cables. Meanwhile, there is a suggestion thut Germany may send a warship to the scene to protect German interests there. Shall we defer aetion long enough to find our- selves in the wash of the German, or the Englishman, or both, in going into the harbor of Havana? That would put us in a fine plight before the world. —_++2—_____ The Claim Against Turkey. Turkey shows a disposition not to comply with our demand for pay for American Property destroyed at the time of the Ar- menian massacres. She is reported to be taking refuge behind the assertion that whatever destruction occurred was the work of a mob, and that she is not to be held for damages in such a case. Minister ‘Angell, however, Is pressing the matter, and as he is an experienced diplomat there need be no fear that it will not receive the proper attention. The case may be all the more difficult because of the position this government has always maintained with respect to the work of a mob. We have always refused to confess responsibility in such a case when foreign subjects had lost either life or property. We have always acted gen- erousiy and promptly in the premises, but upon the express ground that money so ap- propriated by Congress and paid over was in the nature of an honorable charge on the national conscience. Italy, China, Mexico and probably other foreign gov- ernments have received money in this way. The record of the United States in such matters is so scrupulously just, indeed, that if any fault it to be found with it the fault is that the foreigner is put above the citizen. If twelve men were to be lynched tomorrow and their homes de- stroyed, six of whom should prove to have been foreign subjects and six citizens, Con- gress would charge itself with an appro- priation for the benefit of the heirs of the foreigners, but the heirs of the citizens would get nothing. The contention has been, however—and in Europe as well as in the United States— that the Armenian massacres and the ac- companying destruction of property were mot the work of a mob, but of Turkish troops under the spur and direction of Turkish officials. The impeachment of ‘Turkey at the time was not on the score f her inability to preserve order, but that she was actively egging on and extending & bloody religious crusade against Chris- tians. Still the matter remains a charge. A thorough investigation has never taken Place because Turkey would never permit it. Is it possible at this late day for Min- ister Angell to have that bloody business probed? Our own good record justifies our request for damages from Turkey, even accept- ing her explanation that it was a mob Which destroyed the American property. But if Turkey does not choose to emulate the high and worthy example of the United States, then what? —~+e—____ The business men of Washington will un- foubtedly protest with vigor against any Feduction of the local letter-carrier force, compelling a corresponding reduction in the number of mail deliveries. The growing €apital needs continuous expansion of its mail facilities, and the mere suggestion of the backward step’ of a contraction of these facilities arouses the whole com- munity. ——_++s—____. The Proposed Memorial to Longfellow The movement now under way among some of the best known residents of this city to secure the erection here of a mem- rial to the poet Longfellow deserves im- mediate and hearty encouragement. It is unpleasantly true that there is ff all this Jand, so often the theme of Longfellow's Poetic inspiration, no memorial to him. There is a bust of him in Westminster, Ab- bey, but the people of his own nation have hot yet erected any form of monument to the memory of the author of so many Poems that breathe the American spirit and Fepresent the American genius. Longfellow is acknowledged to be either the first or the second of American poets. His place in literature is high even from a world-wide Standard. His fame will never dwindle. He is, indeed, the best known of all Ameri- can poets abroad, his works having been translated into practically every language and his poems being known and loved by the people of all nations. But there are strictly national reasons why Longfellow Geserves permanent recognition in substan- jal manner from his countrymen. He ‘Wrote the only two well-known poems con- nected with early American history,”“Evan- geline” and “The Courtship of Miles Stand- ish.” He wrote, too, the only w poem about the American “Hia- watha,” elassed among the world’s classics. The best-known and most eloquent apos- For these reasons it is eminently fitting that Longfellow should be viewed as a na- tional character, an exponent of American literature and worthy of a memoria’ such as represents not only the breadth \f his poetic feeling and his patriotism, bt. also the appreciation of the people for wh he directly wrote. If there is to be such a memorial as is now proposed it should be located here. It should be no mereiy local enterprise, commemorating in a neighbor- hood fashion the state or the community love for him, but it should be the act of the people at large, a national monument, on a national site, at the capital of the na- tion that Longfellow loved so dearfy. The preliminary plans of those who are now moving in the matter contemplate a mem- orial that shall be a credit to the endeavor and an addition to the beauties of the capi- tal city. There are many statues and mem- orials of various kinds here, but there is room for more, and a hearty welcome will be given to such an‘addition as is now pro- posed, a relief from the military creations of the sculptor, which, though in many cases beautiful and inspiring, nevertheless tend to grow monotonous if unaccompanied by less martial subjects. —__++-»—___ Eastern Branch Flats. The Board of Trade last evening dis- cussed the need of a reclamation of” the Eastern branch flats with an earnestness of purpose that ought to produce some measure of results within a short time. There is pending in each house of Con- gress a joint resolution providing for a comprehensive survey of the flats for the Purpose of ascertaining the extent and nature of the neéded improvements. In the Senate this resolution has been given a favorable report, and needs only to be taken up during the morning hour some day and passed. It should not arouse the least opposition, for it carries only a tri- fling appropriation and aims at a project as to the need of which there cannot be two opinions. In the House this measure has just been presented, so it is fair to assume that the chances for passage are better in the Senate at present, and such diligence ought to be shown in its treat- ment that it may have a show of final en- actment by the House the next District day. There is need of haste in this matter. The proposed survey ought to be authorized and completed in such season that the matter can be brought definitely to the attention of the appropriation committees at the next session in such form that it cannot well be ignored. Profit should be made of the experience of the District with the item of the aqueduct tunnel com- pletion. That necessary appropriation has at least twice been added ‘to the loca: budget by th> Senate and regularly strick- en off in conference at the insistent de- mand of the House, first on the ground that the case had not been brought form- ally to the attention of the House com- mittees in the regulation manner, not- withstanding the fact that the authorized survey was not completed quite in season for such a report, and, second, on the plea that the case was not sufficiently un- derstood. In the case of the Eastern branch flats there should be no inch of red tape left unwound in the preliminaries, to be used as a basis of argument next winter against the granting of the requisite appropria- tion. The survey now proposed ought to be undertaken this winter if possible, and the resultant recommendations should be made to Congress in such form and sea- son that there can by no possibility be any repetition ‘of the tunnel appropriation ex- perience. Trouble Brewing in the Far East. |The far eastern question has again as- sumed a dangerous aspect. Russia has practically defied Great Britain and an is- sue, diplomatic or military, is imminent be- tween them. Meanwhile English vessels on service in Bering sea have been ordered to China and there is great activity among the other powers with interests on the Chinese coast. Japan has just bought sev- eral new vessels and has launched an- other. She has dispatched a fleet of nine ships of war to Wel-Hai-Wei, for a pur- pose that can only be conjectured, but that may fairly be assumed to bear threaten- ingly upon the latest revelgtions concern- ing Russian intentions. France, accord- ing to today’s dispatches, is sending two war ships to Chinese waters, and so it goes, with the fighting force in the China seas constantly augmenting. Germany announces that she will not permit any in- tervention in the least degree in her ad- ministration of the territory just leased to her by China. The emperor declares that any trespass there will be regarded as an immediate cause of war, for the declara- tion of which he need not go to the reich- stag. This declaration is plainly aimed at England, who seems to be the object of the concentrated diplomatic fire of Russia, Germany and France. At the same time Russia has sent an intimation to China that there must be no encouragi.:s of Brit- ish pretensions, or the “protection” of the czar will be withdrawn. This threat means simply that any such action by China will precipitate the partition of all the desirable territory between the mem- bers of the great land-grabbing syndicate that is now being managed in part by Russia. Taken altogether it is to be seen that the case with China is bad indeed. Japanese impetuosity may at any moment precipitate the conflict toward which events are just now tending. The lberation of doves instead of the spilling of champagne in christening the Kasagi should please people of all: senti- ments. Those who favor total abstinence will be glad that an alcoholic beverage was discountenanced and those who do rot will content themselves with the re- flection that a considerable waste was averted. It is nonsense to contend that the an- nexation of so small a territory as that represented by Hawali would make any difference to a country already large enough to hold Lilluokalani and President Dole at the same time. Mr. Reed and Mr. Bailey will do what they can with the material available to ™make a practical experiment in connection with the old query as to what would hap- pen if an irresistible force met an immova- ble body. SHOOTING STARS. Not Losing Time. “Did_you win dat cake by walkin’ fon it?” inquired Mr. Erastus Pinkley’s friend. “No ‘ndeed,” was the answer. ‘Walkin’ too slow foh me. I picked de cake up an’ run.” Dissatisfied. “That all the world’s a stage we know,” The cynic cried; “‘Alack! I very much dislike the show. I want my money back!” “One great: trouble wif folks,” said Unele Eben, “ is dat dey’s li’ble ter mistake de smailes’ speck on dah serenity foh de p’int whah patience ceases ter be a virtue." An Irrelevant Query. George Washington much loved the truth; If he were here again, Would he go before the public And be frank concerning Spain? Lost. % “Have you followed my argument so far,’’- inquired the verbose gentleman. “Yes,” replied his impatient friend, “But I tell you candidly, I’a quit its company right here if I thought I could find my way back.” Recipe. Here's a simple cure-all That the statesman knows; Helps us to endure all These terrestrial woes. ‘Trouble—lt us flout it Till it floors us fiat. Make a speech about it, And let it go at that. Is a neighbor needy, Sad and sore oppressed? Does a rfew trust greedy Boldly rear its crest? “Honor?”—do we doubt it, As the word falls pat?— Make a speech about it, And let it go at that. ———__~>+e—____ The Presidential Inauguration. From the Macon Telegraph. Senator Hoar's amendment to the Con- stitution changing the date of the presi- dential inauguration from March 4 to April has several points of merit. In the first place, March 4 in Washington is. usually marked by the most disagreeable weather to be found anywhere between the poles, and the American people are dis- posed to insist that the inauguration cere- mcnies shall be conducted in the open air so that the whole world may contemplate the glory of the spectacle. From this point of view it would seem to be fitting for the people aforesaid to fix for the ceremony a date which will not subject their new Pres- ident to the danger of pulmonary conges- tion. They should either do this or trans- fez the capital to middle Georgia, where good weather for outdoor frolic may be tad on March 4, as well as any other day of the year. But there is a more importan: reason for the change of date in the fact that it would prolong by eight weeks the short session of Congress and enable the bedy to deliberate more carefully upon legislation proposed at the first session. It would tend to prevent the passage of half- digested measures, and -would also give new congressmen a better opportunity to acquit themselves of their duties to their censtituents. We believe the legislatures of the several states would very promptly agree to the amendment. It would not violate any “sacred” traditions and there is no politics in it. It seems to be grounded in common sense, ————_—__+ +» _____ Dreyfus and the Honor of France. From the New York Independent. What is noticeable in the treatment of the Dreyfus case in France is the Frenchi- ness of it. Every Frenchman ought to know that the method of the decision was most unjust, for it is now beyond ques- tion that neither Dreyfus nor his counsel was allowed to see the evidence on which it was decided. The proper question now again to be settled is whether Dreyfus was really guilty of the treason of selling to a foreign power the military secrets of the army of which he was an officer. But this question of justice does not seem to con- cern the great majority of Frenchmen. A few—Zola among them—want the wrong, if there was one, righted; but all the rest want nothing but the honor of France, the old “glory” that has been the ruin of France, sustained, no matter what is the justice of the case. In Great Britain or in this country there would have been no question but of justice; public sentiment would have allowed nothing else. But in France the overwhelming feeling is that the credit of the courts and the country must be maintained no matter what the wrong may be to the condemned man, who fs only a Jew anyway, and might as well be the scapegoat. Honor can never be dissociated from justice. The Pacific Course. From the St. Paul Pioneer Press. So long as Spain refuses to “let go,” and so long as armed intervention by the United States to end.the war is held to be inexpedient, just so long must the con- tributions we are asked to send to the starving people take the form of what the charity associations denominate ‘“‘con- tinued relief.” ‘he situation is growing more and more intolerable every day. But there is an old maxim that ‘‘control fol- lows contribution as shadow follows sub stance”; and it may be that a large-souled, generous response by our people, now, to the appeals made in behalf of our suffer- ing neighbors may give us an influence in|. . Spanish counsels which cannot be re- garded as other than legitimate, even by the high-strung Dons of Madrid. Inter- vention with barrels of bread may achieve for our nation, as well as for humanity, @ grander and nobler success than an in- tervention with cannon balls. —_—___+++_____ Stopping the Country Paper. From the Dickinson County (8.D.) Herald. ‘The daily press should not-be too hasty to ridicule the Davenport woman who or- dered her paper discontinued because it had published an article derogatory to the woman suffragists. Great big, full grown men with patches of shaggy whiskers on their faces and bristles on their back have been known to order their papers discon- tinued for less reasons than the Daven- port lady had, and we'll wager a dollar to a doughnut that she paid up all her ae rearages when she ordered her paper stopped, which more than half of the burly clowns who attempt to pass for men think of doing when becoming miffed at some imaginary wrong and “stop their paper.” —_——_+++____ Mr. Dole and Kalakaua. From the Chicago Post. The fuss made over King Kalakaua two decades ago was one of the passing humors of the time. The grgat mass of the peo- ple entered into its spirit as a huge joke and tears of fun ran down the cheeks of the multitudes that cheered the tickled king. Royally did we enjoy humbugging royalty. ‘We greet Mr. Dole in a more serious and respectful mood. comes on busi- ness and we are glad to do business with him.
