As a News Medium it has no competitor. G7 In order to avoid delays, office, but simply to THE STAR, oF to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. That Havana Press Censorship. Some New York correspondent of a Ha- Vana newspaper has been advising a re- opening of the Weyler warfare on Ameri- can correspondents in Cuba. He wants all who are now there banished from the is- land. The suggestion is condemned by & contemporary, which oe that such a policy would do more farm than good. There ought to be no doubt on that point. No step which General Weyler took while in command in Cuba was so signal a fall- ure as his effort to muzzle the press out- side of Cuba, and particularly in this‘coun- try. It acted as a challenge, which the foreign press at once accepted, and in the contest General Weyler was defeated. The men of spirit, who saw by the maneuver that a very great deal existed which ought to be uncovered, redoubled their energies, and though some were driven away others remained, and in the end the whole foul- ness and fiendishne=s of the Weyler regime were exposed. Even the Havana newspapers are under @ restraint which serves no good purpose. Naturally, a general is at pains to keep his war plans out of print.. If he medi- tates a march or an attack he does not advertise the purpose. It is in every way important that he should keep that to him- self. But why keep the people of Havana in ignorance about the news from Madrid or from the United States when thelr in- terest in it is so great? No news at such a time begets suspicion and false reports, which are very much more mischievous than any true reports could be. It is in fact an incitement to fakirs and mischief qakers to ply their trade industriously. How much treasure and how many lives would have been saved had some sense of fairness existed in official quarters in Ha- vana about news may only be estimated, but the figures, even conservatively stated, would be high. The authorities at Madrid never got anything approximating the truth about the Cuban situation from Gen- eral Weyler. Senor Canovas died probably believing that General Weyler had made material progress toward pacifying the island, and that all would soon be over with the insurgent cause. In this country the most absurd stories were circulated about Spanish triumphs, but so clumsily Constructed as to carry their falsity on their very face. It “is too late to renew such a policy. General Blanco may continue to keep the Population ot Havana in ignorance of what is going on abroad, but as to what is going qn in Havana and elsewhere in Cuba the outside world would continue to be ad- vised despite his most active opposition. —__+ + > __ The Conquest of China. The report is received that four Ger- man sailors have been-killed by a Chinese mob at Kaio Chau bay and that the most intense excitement prevails because it is assumed that the outrage will be made the basis of a demand by Germany for further grants of territory. Of course it will. The slaughter of a sailor is a far more heinous crime against such a nation as Germany than the killing of a missionary. It is no less tnan a flagrant case of lese majeste. ‘The sailors stood in relation.te the Chinese mob as the German empire. They were at- tacked, presumably, solely because of the intrusion of that nation upon the territory of China. There was nothing personal in the anger of the mob. To a Chinaman a foreigner is a trespasser. These German sallors could not have been regarded other- wise than as interlopers, especially as the man first killed was standing on sentry duty over a part of the newly acquired territory. The German uniform aroused the celestials and the outrage inevitably followed. It is a deplorable outbreak, but it was to have been expected. Perhaps it was expected by the German authorities. They may not regard the affair with un- mixed grief. In view of the alacrity with which the killing of the missionaries was utilized as a basis for a claim it is not to be questioned that the killing of the sail- ors will be utilized in the same way with- out delay. On the basis of the preceding adjustment nothing short of control over an entire provitce ought to satisfy Ger- many. At this rate tne conquest of the empire will be a comparatively easy and bloodless task. Modern warfare may be robbed cf its horrors after all. ——~>+oe—___ The Spanish Fleet for Cuba. Word comes from Madrid that in addi- Uon to the fleet now assembling at Cadiz for service in Cuban waters there will be dispatched to Havana four torpedo boats and five torpedo boat destroyers. With this aggregation of fighting vessels a very pretty party call might be made upon the United States by the Spanish navy. The return of the compliment extended co* Spain when the battle ship Maine was sent to Havana is announced as being now arranged on an elaborate scale. It is in- teresting as weil to note that the fleet will be capable of striking some effective blows. It may perhaps be well to remind Spain at this juncture that if she had sent Such @ fleet to Cuba carly in the war with the insurgents she might perhaps have accomplished something toward pre- veating the landing of fiilibusters on the island. As the record now stands this country has done practically éverything in that line, and at such an expense that there ts a disposition here to consider that Spain is heavily in debt to the United States, doth morally and financially. for maintaining at the doors of this country a condition that has necessitated such ex- traordinary vigilance as has been shown by the American naval authorities. ——_+2—___ The legislature at Frankfort, Ky., comes forward to demonstrate that Columbus, Ohio, and Annapolis, Md., are not the only old towns in which “hot times” occasion- ally materialize. e_ SP oe. The European powers do not propose to have any trouble over eastern affairs. They will not disturb the Chinese emperor's monopoly. ————++e—___ Blockading the Streets. Regardless of the personal outcome, there will necessarily be a keen general interest in the trial tomorrow in the po- ce court of a case that bears intimately upon the grade crossing problem. A po- iceman noticed that the railroad gate at the corner of Delaware avenue and H street northeast had been kept down for. many minutes, far beyond the limits al- lowed by the regulations. This had caused in the exchange of such warm personal attentions that each party to the affray now charges the other with assault. Aside from a consideration of the ques- tion of the manner ef the policeman and of the gateman and such collateral facts in the case, it is plain that the legitimate users of the important thoroughfare that is obstructed by this railroad Mne were on this occasion, as on many others, incon- venienced by the Thdifference of the com- pany and its employes to the law and the regulations. The attitude of the gateman when directed by a competent authority to raise the gates and permit the passage of the people is typical in large measure of the attitude of the corporation towarc the community. Of course it may be that the gateman was merely obeying orders in Keeping the gate down while trains were passing or standing on the crossing, and that the one in real fault was the engineer of the train, or perhaps the yardmaster who gave the orders necessitating such a blockading of the street. But the gateman is the only agent within the reach of the policeman and the only one with whém complaints are to be lodged for immediate results, especially when the obstructing trains are moving slowly back and forth, as is often the case. If the gateman is forced to raise his gates after the limit of tolerance has been passed in order to accommodate the accumulated travel, all trains that pass while the gateg are raised, Save perhaps those on the regular schedule, must be considered as doing so fllegally, and the engineer manipulating the locomo- tive can be held accountable. It is to be seen that the old difficulty of finding a responsible agent is once more in the way of enforcing the law. Unless some agreement is reached between the Commissionérs and the railroad authori- ties these squabbles over the rights of the street users will continue to be enacted. The only permanent and reliable remedy for this intolerable condition of things is the complete abolition of all grade cross- ings, and to this end it is to be hoped that Congress may this winter pass the bill di- recting the railroad company to construct the proposed viaducts. - —_>+o—___ = Senator Lindsay. It 1s probably useless to examine tha action of the lower house of the Kentucky legislature in calling for the resignation of Senator Lindsay upon any other ground but the blind and narrow partisanship which ectuated it. The procesding was senseless, and taken without regard to any of the higher considerations involved. Judge Lindsay has violated none of his premises to his peuple. He stands with r3- gard to all national questions Precisely where he did when he received his commis- sion as Senator. He was elect2d as a dem- Ocrat. His present term began on March 4, 1895, and at that time a democratic na- tional administration, which the Kentucky democracy had helped to put in power, was executing a policy in no wise diffarent from that which Judge Lindsay stands for to- day. So that if there has been any chango at all it has not been on Judge. Lindsay's part. If he was a democrat then, he 1s unquestionably a democrat now. But of course th: whole matter turns upon the question of the free and unlimited coinage of silver at 16 to 1 as an inde- pendent act of this country. The Ken- tucky democrats now hold that aloft as their standard cf democracy. In that, as they now contend, are embraced all the law and the prophets. Senator Lindsay Is called upon by them to subscribe to that or surrender his commission. He will prob- ably do neither. He should do neither. He was elect2d for six years, to give to his state and to the country during that time the benefit of his best judgment respecting all questions coming before the Senate for action. His party, after three years of his service, asks him to vote in violation of his convictions. Were he to yield, it might ask him before the remainder of his term expires to violate his convictions again. A Senator of the United States, as Mr. La- mar held when placed in similar circum- stances, should not be a weathercock. The folly of the Kentucky house of rep- resentatives is best appr2ciated when the ability of Judge Lindsay and his standing in the Senate are considered. As strong a debater and as resolute a man as Mr. Beck, as sound and learned a lawyer as Mr. Carlisl2, he 1s a recognized force for good in the body of which he is a member. No man in recent years has made his way more rapidly in the Senate, and his retire- ment, for any cause, would be a distinct jess to the country. Lower Street Car Fares Unnecessary. The Senate District cemmittee acted wisely today in rejecting the bill proposing to require all local street railways to sell eight tickets for twenty-five cents and to give universal transfers. The time is not ripe fer such a measure. Just now the street railroads of the capital are in a transition state. One of them has just completed an expensive and elaborate sys- tem of underground electrical propulsion. Another is ‘installing a similar system on two of its lines and is arranging to install it on the third. The owners of the other principal franchises are eagerly awaiting action on a bill taat will give them suffi- cient time for the installation of the same system on thelr roads. Still another com- pany is before Congress askirg for the necessary legislation.tc the same end. In view of these circumstances tt would be urwise and unfair to require the roads to reduce their incomes from passenger re- ceipts twenty-five per cent by forcing them to give transportaticn to eight passengers instead of six for the same money. The demand here has always been to require the roads to furnish the best available facilities for rapid transit, and after a long fight that demand seems tn fair way to be fully met by resulta. It may be that after the roads have been running on the new basis for several years, enjoying the ad- vantages of the increased patronage at- tracted by the improved service, a general digposition will arise on the part of the citizens to call for a lower rate of fare. = ____ President Dole naturally entertains a high opinion of the resources of Hawaii.

Old Red Cloud, last of the Sioux chiefs, is dying in his shack on the Ogallalla resérva- tion in Dakota.
