Col, Ruiz and Corruption. ‘The Star last Monday commented on the Ruiz incident, taking the Spanish allega- tions for text. Yesterday it was able to lay before its readers a letter from Mr. Pepper on the subject, which in every par- ticular bore out the position it had taken. The letter is an important one. It shows conclusively that Colonel Ruiz in the guise of personal friendship visited an insurgent chief with a corrupt and publicly forbidden proposition, and for that act was executed. The story is a sad but very simple one, and instead of reflecting disastrously on the in- surgent chief covers him with the highest eredit. He did only his duty as a soldier, and did it promptly. An act of measurably like character performed in our own strug- gle for freedom is one to which we are fond of referring with great pride. Colonel Ruiz paid the to-be-expected penalty for a reckless zeal in trying to advance the Span- ish cause by outlawed means. And what a chapter that is In the Blanco policy which shows the assumption that the whole insurgent movement is scoundrelism, and the setting aside of a huge corruption fund m time of widespread starvation among the non-combatants for the purpose of buying up the scoundrels in arms! The movement still proceeds. Colonel Rulz fail- ed, with fatal consequences to himself, but General Blanco holds to his opinion. He is represeated as being abroad now himself, carrying an enormous sum of money, seek- ing an “investment.” He is not likely to succeed, or even take the risk that Colonel Ruiz did. but his view is still for bribery. Spain has no funds with which to feed her starving subjects, but any insurgent chief willing to sell his cause may have his pockets stuffed with Spanish money. This does not read well. It shows the Spanish commander in a light inviting con- tempt. Aud that effect is emphasized by the fact that, at this very time, when Gen- eral Blanco is bending all of his energies toward forwarding his campaign of bribery, with no pains taken to relieve the distress within his own lines, an-American ship, loaded with food and medicines contributed by the American people, leaves an Ameri- can port bound for Cuba, upon an errand of merey toward those whom the Spanish commander. is neglecting. Butchery, starvation, bribery. That is the Spanish record for three years in Cuba. Is it any wonder that the Spanish cause ms to be ou the brink of collapse? And when collapse comes, 1s it not likely that there will be a general agreement that it Was well deserv ——_~> = —____ Mr. Dole’s Democratic Reception. President Dole’s request for an unostenta- tious reception on his arrival in this city wa of course, immediately granted by President McKinley. The incident reflects favorably upon the chief executive of Ha- wali. It was eminently proper that ar- rangements for a military escort should have been made in advance, for Mr. Dole comes to Washington in more than an indi- vidual capacity, and such a reception was self-suggestive in view of his official sta- tion and especially in view of the peculiar relatioas that he now sustains toward the United States. But Mr. Dole is not a lover of display. There is in him none of the fondness for fuss and feathers that mark- ed his monarchical predecessors at the head of the Hawaiian people. in no more typi- cal manner could there be given an evi- dence of the character and purposes of the men who in 189% overthrew the despicable monarchy and took the reins of govern- ment into their own hands. Had the mere love of power and office actuated them they would be today entitled to compara- tively little consideration. But a more whoi »me inspiration actuated these revo- lutionists. They were driven by the neces- sity of protecting their liberties and their rights, that were being trampled upon by the relic of royalty then in power, and the independent government founded through their efforts extended to their fellow-coun- trymen all the beneficent results of the change. Yesterday's democratic reception, mark- €d by the severest simplicity and the heart- est cordiality, is to be accepted as a sym- bol of the progression of Hawaii from de- based subjection to a corrupt and unpro- gressive monarch to union with and par- lcipation in the prosperity of the world's wreatest republic. z — SS ae A Lie Nailed. The expected refutation of the Spanish fie about the capture of the Cuban capital Lear Cubitas has come to hand at last, and from a source so broverbially favorable to the Spanish view that it cannot Questioned. The New York Herald today in the course of a highly significant dis- patch from Havana “by way of Key West” —which means that it had to take this course to avoid the Spanish censor—prints the following paragraph in its news coi- umns: “The Spanish account of the victory of General Castellanos and the capture of the headquarters of the rebel government in the town of Esperanza is now proved to be a fabrication. There is no such town as Esperanza near Cubit: The name of the town founded and occupied as the capital by the rebel government is Agramonte. Spanish troops are unable to Set near this place, being repulsed in the mountains and forced to retire with a heavy loss.” ——_+e-+—____ The impression that General Weyler was wildly imdignant over his recall may be replaced by a suspicion that he merely succeeded in placing the direct responsi- bility for defeat on the shoulders of an- other oficial, ee __ The South American governments will Watch with interest to see whether the Emperor of Corea will be able to add any- thing to the elasticity of the Monroe doc- trine. ——__~ +e Mr. Watson to the Front. It is to be hoped the report is true which makes Thomas E. Watson the probable date of his party for governor of a this year. Mr. Watson is an able and interesting man, frank in the expres- sion of opinion, and a factor always to be reckoned with in matters relating to popu- lism. And there is much curiosity felt just mow as to what the latest feature of the Populist program may be with respect to 190. Fusion again with the silver men? Or, if not, why not? Mr. Watson, of all the more prominent populist leaders, is in position to speak and act on this point with greatest freedom at this time. If he runs for governor of Georgia it will be with no hope or prospect of success. but with the view of organizing Populist sentiment in the state respecting the next presidential race. Other populist leaders are hampered by circumstances from taking for the present an advanced stand. They are called upon to be discreet and to wait. Senator Allen is Mr. Bryan's bosom friend and from Mr. Bryan's own state. He will probably be for fusion again in Mr, Bryan's interests. But if Mr. Bryan is not the-next democratic nominee for President, then where will Senator Allen stand? He will cross that bridge of course when he comes to it. Senator Butler of North Carolina is an- ther pepulist leader likely to measure carefully his steps for the next two years. He was a strong supporter of fusion in 18%, but his course subjected him to some severe criticism, and since then he has suf- fered a defeat at home in his effort to pre- vent the re-election of Senator Pritchard. Senator Butler's own fortunes will be in the scale again in a few years, and that will require caution on bis part as to his course before that time. Representative Simpson is likewise ob- liged to move with circumspection for the present. He will be a candidate to succeed himself in the House, and there are reports of vigorous opposition to be encountered. Naturally, therefore, he is more interested in the elections of this year than in the election of 1900. But Mr. Watson need feel no such re- straint. He is in position to speak out fully, and if he stands as his party’s can- didate for governor the state of Georgia will be a lively locality during the cam- paign. And the country at large will be in- terested. —————— > ¢e___ The Teachers and the Convention. It Aas ccme to notice that the public school teackers of this city have been assessed a certain percentage of their sal- aries for the purpose of making up the amount that was promised in the name of the teachers for the entertainment fund of the National Educational Association con- vention next summer. Such action should be discontinued. It is based upon a thor- oughly unacceptable principle. The salaries of the teachers are small and in insufficient proportion to their needs and the demands upon them. It is unfair that the pressure of an assessment, however unofficial and “voluntary” it may be, should be applied to them. They would doubtless contribute generously to the fund in response to a general invitation, and would perhaps swell’ the fund to the point forecasted for them, but under no circumstances, under no condition of need, can an assessment based upon a proportionate levying upon salaries be justified or excused. Of course the teachers of the District will ‘take a deep interest in the proceedings of the association next summer. Many of them will probably become members of that organization. They will derive great benetit from the sessions, learning many things hitherto beyond reach and feeling in large measure the stimulus that necessarily springs from such an association of men and women engaged on the same line of effort in assembly. But the teachers can not by any means be regarded as the par- ticular hosts of the association. They will stand In that capacity only as they are a part of the community that has invited the delegates and has pledged an adequate en- tertainment. There is no more reason for a pro rata assessment on them than there would be for such an assessment on the business men cf the community. The latter were invited to contribute and responded and are still responding, but no attempt was made to tax the residents generally in proportion to their incomes. Whatever safeguards might be adopted by assessing officials to give the enterprise an unofficial standing, there would still remain a feelirg on the part of the teach- ers that they are bound to respond to the extent that they are assessed. The mere fact that a scale proporticnate to the sal- aries of individuals is the basis of the assessment gives the affair a meaning to teachers that can not be misunderstood. += _____ Hawaii in the Houre. ‘The vote in the House the other day when a certain resolution bearing remotely upon the Hawaiian annexation question was ta- bled is not by any means to be regarded as revealing the lines of diviston on the main proposition. The resolution was one of in- quiry, and on general lines the vote was strictly a party vote. It had been proposed long before to secure from the President the terms of the proposed treaty of annex- ation. As a partisan measure to this reso- lution of request was added an inquiry as to certain matters connected with the as- sumption of the Hawaiian national debt by this country. Soon after the introduction of the resolution the treaty was puUlished and the necessity for the passage of the measure ceased to exist. When it was pro- posed to dispose finally of the matter the other day in the House, the democrats, in pursuance of their policy of annoying the republican administration on small matters, the ordinary policy of the minority party in Congress, bethought themselves to de- mand a vote and to divide on this simple and insignificant proposition, pretending that it was of importance. The House stood, on division by tellers, 134 to 105. The annexation proposition is notoriously stronger in the House than those figures would serve to indicate. But the vote can not by any stretch of reasoning be attrib- uted to influences asSociated in the least degree with the project for the union of the two republics. It now seems clear that the Senate will ratify the annexation treaty, but if it should fail to do so there will not be any question of the support of a large majority of both houses when a legislative proposition to the same end is advanced. —_———_s +o Mr. Platt would regard it as a fraternal courtesy if Mr. Croker would allow dissen- sions to stand long enough to give his or- ganization a chance to enjoy the success which Tammany has just attained. A dis- creet alternation would serve to protect mutual interests. ————_sto—___—_ It is explained that the Maine paused at Havana merely to “victual up.” Ameri- cans with interests there to be protected will doubtless indulge in the hope that it will not be a hasty luncheon. ——_+2-____ Hawaii, in the event of failure to annex, declares that it will do its best to remain an independent republic. But it cannot give any guarantee as to how good that best will be. ———_ + ee —__ Foreign stars should thoughtfully observe how often it occurs that after creating a hysterical furore in this country, actors go home and are never heard of more. ——_ + +e ____. Street Railroad Extensions. It is plain from the statements published in The Star yesterday concerning the atti- tude toward each other of the two main traction companies of this city that there is some danger that in their antagonism the public interests may not be fully con- served. There is a demand on the part of the residents of certain suburban sections tor additional transportation facilities. A few extensions now well outlined ought to be accomplished in the near future if the needs of the present suburban community are to be adequately met. Each of the two main companies professes a willingness’ to do this work, actuated, of course, by the hope of financial gains. So intense is the rivalry, however, that each company seems disposed to block effectually the way of the other toward legislation and the possi- bility results that these much needed ex- tensions may not be authorized at the present session. ‘This is an unfortunate phase of the com- petition that is as a rule to be welcomed im the case of a city’s rival traction ‘con- cerns. There should be some way, it would seem, for these companies to get together cease fighting until the end of the session and until the last chance of legislation is gone. The only recourse of the District committees of the two houses, it would therefore seem, is to give heed to the voice of the people and to adjust in accordance therewith the affairs of the companies, that are directly under the control of Con- gress. A purely obstructive policy should not be permitted to prevail. Congress should see to it that the desired rapid transit facilities are immediately supplied if not by both systems, then by that one which will in good faith and sincerity pro- ceed at once with the actual work of con- struction. r+ >__ Havana Harbor. Havana harbor is known to be one of the foulest bodies of water in the world. Its annual contribution to the death rate of the Cuban capital is beyond safe esti- mate, but it is agreed among all who have ever visited the city that the harbor is the breeding ground of more than one form of pestilence. Thus it is now announced that the naval authorities will not keep the battle-ship Maine on duty at Havana for an extended period. The situation in the city 1s so delicate that it would be un- vise to permit the sailors much shore leave, and if they are cooped up on the vessel for very long many of them would almost surely die of fevers and other dis- eases contracted from ‘the germ pool. And so the Maine, it 1s announced, will soon be reHeved by another ship and the process will continue until some new phase of the situation creates new necessities. Havana harbor ts a type of. the condition of things social and political in Cuba itself. It is foul with the accumulated filth of many years. It is foul because the government at Madrid has never risen to a realization of its full duty toward the people of the colony. The lack of modern facilities for sanitation is to be attributed to the selfish policy of the Spanish authorities to squeeze Cuba and to give as little as possible in return. The same {fs true in even greater degree of the conditions surrounding the people of other sections. They have con- tributed liberally to the demands of Spain for revenue and have received nothing but the permission to struggle in time of peace with pestilence and bad government, and in thme of war with starvation and cruelty. —_—_~+e—____ France will be tempted to claim that less Preparation fs required to be a statesman in this republic than in that one, where at least a knowledge of fencing is expected in every public official. ———>+e—___ While Mr. Hill and Mr. Gorman prepare to take an active part in local affairs, Mr. Cleveland contents himself with writing communications to the newspapers. ee _____ SHOOTING STARS.

From the Atlanta Constitution. For several years the country, both north and south, has been watching with great interest the experiment at Fitz- gerald. The idea of transplanting thousands of people from the latitude of Iowa, Dakota and Minnesota to that of south Georgia was something which challenged atten- tion. There were difficulties of nature to be overcome, and the experiment of re- moval to such variant latitudes carried with it danger. But the experiment has been made, and the result shows that it has been highly successful. People from the far north, thousands in number, have settled f{n the new colony, carried with them their thrift, industry and intelligence, and have mas- tered whatever of difficulty there was to be overcome. Their experience has fully dissipated the idea that sickness to any abnormal extent existed in south Georgia, and has established the fact that, with the ordinary care which has to be taken im any country in the world, there is no region in which the health record is higher than that of this state. This demonstra- tion of health having been made, we have the further fact that these men have found our country to be responsive to their labor, and that they have made abundant crops, lived well and enjoyed the perennial sunshine of the south. It is pleasing to be able to announce these demonstrated facts, notwithstanding the opposition which western railroad in- terests have given to the southward move- ment. From now on we may expect a steady flow of the best kind of emigration from the states of the north and west. ‘These men have but to ask their brethren in Fitzgerald for the facts in order to be assured that here there is protection to life, there is good health and there is abundant return for labor.
