Washington and McKinley. President McKinley's address delivered today before the officers and students of the University of Pennsylvania in Phila- delphia breathes the spirit of patriotic de- votion to the memory of George Washing- ton and sounds the praises of lberal edu- and faithful maintenance of the credit of the country. Tt ts an admirable utterance, avoiding as it does all reference to existing embarrassments such as might arouse the excitement on the part of the public that is greatly to be deprecated at such a crisis as now seems imminent. In- deed, the President occupies today a deli- cate position, having been scheduled to speak long before the development of any critical conditions surrounding his office. He has wisely avoided every appearance of utilizing this occasion as an opportunity y upon the aroused patriotism of the - for sensational purposes by signifi- cant references to the life and words of the first President. He quotes as follows from the words of Washington, in reference to the relations of tus country to others: “Observe good faith and justice toward all nations: cultivate peace and harmony : réligion and morality enjoin this Can it be that good policy does not equally enjoin it? Tt will be worthy of a free, enlightened, and, at no distant pe- ried. a great nation. to give to mankind magnanimous and too novel example of 4 people always guided by an exalted justice and benevolence.” ‘This day is a monument not merely to the man, George Washington, but to his performances as the liberator of the Amer- fcan colonies and to the system of govern- ment to the formation of which he lent ma- terial ald. Washington's birthda: . is more than a mere holid In- The direct personal mem- ory of the man whose birth is now honored has faded in the lapse of time, but in its stead has developed a clearer view of the great and undying principles for which he President MeKinley takes a view cf his subject that commends itself to those cit- izens who retain their faith in the insti His is the view of the optimist, triot. who does not measure ra- tty standards and does not look into the future with fear.

The Proper Beginning. The naval court at Havana has wisely de- cided not to make its proceedings public un til the record is completed and the finding fs ready. That is eminently the prope: It will exelude nothing, but will to the inquiry that secreey which cireumstances is absolutely neces- sary to fairness and thoroughness. The court may be depended upon to do its full duty. When the proceedings are publishea the court will itself be judged by them. It must appear, then, whether or not the werk has been done well or {I. The public meanwhile will not lose inter- est in the general aspect of the matter, nor be left without legitimate news service on the subject. Many things of interest are coming to the surface. The first effect of 30 terrible a Isaster was to strike many people in Havana dumb. These people are now finding their voices again, and may be expected to add information worthy of con- sideration in the effort to solve the mys- tery. The fakir may flourish, but not so a3 to affect results. His contributions will, as usual, bear so plain a trade mark that a may easily be distinguished and re- jected. As for the inquiry which the Senate nas ordered, it is to be expected that that, too, will, when begun, be conducted on lines conducive only to the impartial develop- Ment of the facts. The question {s in ne sense partisan, but affects the country as @ whole. Public opinion, without regard t- party, sustained the sending of the Maine to Havana, and ali that the people desir: now to know relates to the reception of the ship there, the feeling in the port to- ward her, and the care taken by her com- mander to insure her safety. This inquiry will of course be regulated by practices different from those governing this naval court, but, though probably public, need not in any sense be sensational in conduct or purpose. At an early day, there is every reason to believe, we shall know all that can be known respecting an affair which has aroused the country profoundly. Then, When we have facts to guide by, we can with entire confidence go ahead. But the facts are absolutely essential, and the course the best calculated to obtain them has been inaugurated. ——_++e—____ Rapid Transit on Fourteenth Street. The long-patient pecple who depend for their transportation cn the Fourteenth street Lranch of the Capital Traction Com- Pany’s road are open to congratutation upon the fruition of their hopes today in the final commencement of the operation of electric rapid transit on that line. The various broken promises and postpone- ments have annoyed the citizens greatly, but they stood their discomforts as only Washingtcnians can stand such things and new they are in possession of a fine serv- ice. which, after perhaps 2 few mishaps and delays, will compensate by its excel- lence for the incorvenience of the past few menths. It now rests with the company to press forward at the greatest possible rate of speed all forms of work remaining to be ne to complete the equipment, both on the avenue and the Seventh street branch. The operation of the avenue line seems to depend upon the completion of the com- pany’s own power house, which should be wut in order at the earliest possible mo- ment. ———_+ > —__ Spain did not go quite so far as to at- tempt to lighten her financial embarrass- ments by demanding an admission fee trom representatives of the United States gov- ernment desiring to inspect the Maine. ———++e—____ Another Warship for Havana. The administration, it ts announced, will send another warship to Havana. Every- thing would seem to justify the decision. The situation. so far as American interests are concerned, is graver than at the time the Maine was sent. It is still insisted, in the diplomatic phrase, that the Maine went to Havana to pay “‘a friendly call." The phrase, outside of diplomatic circles, would be misleading if the situation in Havana were not so well understood. The Maine did not go to Havana on ary errand of menace to Spanish interests. Her mission was friend- jy enough. But there was actual need of ber presence in port. Spanish rule in the cy was threatened by the inhabitants j Sent the personal and collective con themselves, and an outbreak would be | mines in the harbor. When Captain Sigs- certain to put the lives of all Americans present in town in jeopardy. The neces- sity for action was represented as urgent, and the administration sent a ship to meet it. The destruction of the Maine has un- doubtedly added to the gravity of affairs in Havana, so far as American interests are concerned. That appears upon the very face cf thirgs. And it was Inevitable. The local prejudice against Americans has been deepened, and in the event of an out- break now a Spanish mob would be cer- tain, unless restrained, to make short work of the unprotected. For this reason an American warship should be dispatched to Havana, and the reason plainly stated. The occasion de- manés it. War exists in Cuba, although Spain refuses to confess the fact. The in- surgents are riding almost at will over the greater part of the island, and in the towns and cities, where the Spanish troops are cooped up, the discontent of both the soldiers and the citizens is most menacing to the Spanish authorities. If Senor Sa- gasta does not know this the fault is not that of the United States. In replacing the Maine therefore with another ship, capable of performing the duty should occesion arise for which the Maine was sent to Havana, the adminis- tration ought to put the matter clearly before Spain and the world. The United States seeks no quarrel with Spain, but should and wil’ protect her own within Spanish territory where Spain's inability to do so stands fully revealed. —___ + ¢ + —_____ A Wise Decision. The new ‘Attorney General has taken the proper view of the oleomargarine compro- mise propositions submitted to him. His re- fusal to check the course of the prosecution in the pending Philadelphia cases reflects credit upon his sense of justice. He is re- ported as having been urged to accept the money offered because of the likelihood that the men accused would be acquitted. To this it is said he replied that he did not believe he should take the money of Innocent men. This argument and response illustrate a phase of the case that cannot be made too prominent. The men accused of violating the law practically admit their guilt when they offer money to stay the hands of jus- tice. Their proffer of a large sum can be regarded as no less than a confession. If the internal revenue officers have no faith in their ability to convict In the face of ths indication of guilt something must be rad- ically wrong with the machinery for col- lecting evidence and preparing cases for trial. If the law be such that quibbles and technicalities serve to shield the perpetra- tors of these imitation butter frauds steps should be taken immediately to strengthen the statutes to prevent such a miscarriage of justice in the future. Attorney Gen- eral Griggs has given plain evidence of his ability to conduct his department and it is to be presumed that he will follow the line he has laid down and will manage to find a way to bring to book any and all confessed perpetrators of flagrant frauds who fall within his jurisdiction. ———\++e—____ The Rosslyn Charter Iniquity. The menace to Washington involved {n the proposed Rossiyn charter is far greater than that incidental to the maintenance of the Alexander Island and Jackson City re- sorts. The dives and dens will be beyond the reach of all authorities save those of the municipality itself. The charter pro- poses a virtual independence for the rot- ten borough across the river. Immune from any form of judicial intervention, sufficient unto ftself in all matters of licensing aud regulating all classes of re- sorts, defiant of public opirion, and yet sapping the blood of the great city within such easy reach, this pro- posed town of Rosslyn would threaten to become one of the notable scandals of the country and a disgrace to Virginia. There is evidence that this charter is so sweeping in {ts provisions as to violate the constitution of Virginia. Aside from that consideration, however, good public policy would dictate the immediate rejection of the charter by the governor. The protest of the District Commissioners is on file and ought to be given due weight in the con- sideration of the matter. They are be- yond the boundartes of ihe state, to be sure, but their interest in the matter is direct and should be heeded. They repre- ern of @ quarter million of people. ++ Who Are the Complacent Ones? President Bryan of the telephone com- pany is reported to have said that he had received letters from two hundred sub- scribers declaring their perfect satisfac- tion with existing rates and regulations. He insinuated that in the face of this formidable showing of placidity it was folly for the remaining two thousand subscribers to demonstrate their dissatisfaction. Last night six hundred of the latter class met to voice their sentiments. Their names are public. Their identity is made known free- ly and without hesitation. Why should not the president of the company now make public the names of the two hundred sub- seribers who stand forth in such marked contrast? The citizens of the District are anxious to observe the people who are so blissfully content under a system that ninety-nine per cent of the residents regard as burdensome and tyrannical. It would make very interesting reading to give pub- licity not only to the names of these “‘sub- scribers,” but also the amounts they pay to the company for telephonic service. ——_ eo. Maj. Hows, the Californian who disap- proved of political conditions in the United States and renounced his allegiance, has been cited by his G. A. R. post to slow cause why he should nut be expelled. Maj. Howe proposes to fight th2 case, although it is difficult to perceive way, having quit his country in disgust, he should desire to be identified with {ts soldiery. ———_- ++ = —____ There would hav> been no excuse for hesitation on the part of the Vizcaya about entering New York harbor.

One of Ex-Secretary Lincoln's utterances concerning the Maine disaster from the view-point of international law—on the Assumption that the wreck was due to de- sign rather than accident—will not stand investigation. He takes the ground that the Spanish government cannot be held accountable if the wreck was due to the explosion by other than governmental hands of one of the fixed mines with which the harbor is unquestionably planted. He believes that the foreign warship entering the harbor assumes all risks. This as- sumption, however, cannot be held against a vessel that is deliberately directed to a certain ancHorage, as was the case of the Maine. In selecting for it the place for anchoring the government controlling the harbor inevitably assumes all responsibil- ity for the security of the vessel from the i bee was told to anchor his ship at buoy number six he was given in effect a guar- antee that the area of anchorage around that buoy was secure. If there was a mine within that area and that mine in explod- ing from any cause, even thé most acci- dental and unpreventable, destroyed the Maine and many of her crew, the govern- ment of Spain is distinctly liable for the calamity, because of its maintenance of the Possibility of that event. This Hability ex- tends to cover even the acts of some person not connected with the governmental agen- cies for the control of the torpedo system, who may utllize,chance acquaintance with and access to the mechanism controlling the system to perpetrate an act of ven- geance upon a hated nation. The whole case would seem to revolve upon the act of the Spanish government in directing the visiting warship to a certain spot for an- choring. ——_~++__.

Fatigue. “How is your husband?” asked one of two women who had met at the bargain counter. “Very much run down,” was the answer. “Perhaps he works too hard.” “No, he doesn't. But he loses sleep and wrecks his constitution trying to figure out some way to live without working at all.” _ Her Comment. “I'm wedded to my art,” he said. And she (a shrew, of course,) Replied: “Your art, I am afraid Is thinking of divorce.” Unfair. “It is a rascally, business trick!” ex- claimed one Paris editor when informed that another was about to challenge him. “Don't you think he will fight fairly? “Of course he will be fair in the duel. But he knows my paper has a much larger circulation than bis, and he is therefore sure to get the best of me in the adver- tisement.” Wasted Opportunity. “I don’t say as how ye ain't sincere in gettin’ up an’ clamorin’ fur war,” said Farmer Corntossel. “I may be nat'rally of an unduly suspicious nature.” “I hey allus been fur war on the slight est provocation,” replied the excitable neighbor. “So ye hev. But I mus’ say it kind o’ makes me doubtful to find ye wastin’ all this time talkin’ ‘bout fightin’ when ye might be practicin’ with a target.” In Danger of Being Omitted. “So,”" said the Chinese emperor’s friend, “you have decided to open the gates so that in the course of time every nation on the globe will be permitted to transact business on your territory.” “Yes,” replied the emperor, gloomlly; “every nation, with the possible exception of the Chinese."” A Tale and Its Moral, George W: ‘ington, your glory still With reverence we see; We also hear with pleasant thrill About that cherry tree.

It is a good thing for the city of Havana that General Edward S. Bragg is not there at the present time. This is what would happen: “I know what I would do if I were in command at Havana harbor,” said General Bragg to a reporter. “I would shell the town, take it, and then set it on fire. After the flames were well under way I would advise the government at Washington what I had done. They might remove me from my command, but the Cuban prob- lem would be solved completely The hero of the Iron Brigade is now in his seventieth year, but age cannot with- er nor custom stale his infinite valor. How- ever, it is a long way from Fond du Lac to the Cuban capital, and fortunately Cap- tain Sigsbee, not General Bragg, is in com- mand at the latter place. Nobody ques- tions the\general’s fighting qualities, but for the present he should confine his in- cendiarism to the end of a good cigar and keep cool. 5 ——_++-—_____ Foot Ball Manslaughter. From the New York Herald, The predicament of a feot ball player who is now awaiting sentence in England on the charge of manslaughter for causing the death of a fellow-player gives food for thought. Foot ball men who indulge in rough work should heed the warning of “what might happen.” ——_+>+e____ Bill Anthony, Marine. N. A. Jennings, in N. ¥. World. When above the awful din rose the sailors’ voices shrieking, “Help! help: For God’s sake help us, ere we sink into the sea!’’ ‘When the light from bursting sh2lls showed the decks with blood were reeking, At “attention” stood Bill Anthony, with courage bold and fre. Straight and cool as on parade, from the * danger never shrinking, The orderly saluted as in steady tores he said: “I have, sir, to inform you that the ship's blown up and sinking;” Then waited for his orders while ths shells crashed overhead.
