4 — THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON THURSDAY ‘ebrunry 24, 180 CROSBY S. NOYES Edit THE EVENING STAR has a regular ‘amily Circulation other Washingt jreased mnected with the nimply to THE STAR, or to The American Question Now. Senator Morgan's position respecting the proposed Allen rider on the diplomatic ap- Propriation bill was well taken and strongly stated. There should be no indirect deal- ing now with the Cuban question. The duty of this government is first -to itself, and is unmistakably plain. What ought to have been done a year ago in«justice to the Cuban people has tio appropriate place in the discussion of what should be done now in Justice to ourselves. The Cuban question has become the American question. Spain stands convicted of barbarities without modern parallel to- ward Cuba, but only suspected of such a crime against the United States as in case it is established will inevitably lead to the gravest of situations. We are proceeding upon the right line. Haste, passion, indis- cretion, are alike out of place. We must be able to justify ourselves before the world in whatever we do. The American courage—the real thing—necds no artificial stimulants. If Spain is to be called to ac- count for the destruction of the Maine it should be done—and evidently the Prest- dent intends that if necessary it shall be done—with a directness and a dignity be- fitting so momentous an act. If the American question disappears; if the Investigation now in progress acquits Spain of responsibility for the Havana hor- ror, the Cuban question, as we have known It, will inevitably come to the front again. It will even be stronger than ever. The war in Cuba must be fought to a close by swift means, and it has been made fully evident that Spain does not command such means. Intervention by some power in the interests of peace will be absolutely neces- sary; and the United States is the only power possessing the right to act. The powers of Europe are warned off. We have declared our right to intervene and our in- tention of intervening, and the whole case will then rest upon the question of whether or not the proper time has come. With au- tonomy a failure, and the reconcentrados still objects of pity to all but Spanish be- holders, Cuba will appeal so strongly to American sympathy as apparently to make American action in Cuba's interests im- perative. ————~-+-___ French Justice. The conviction of M. Zia on the charge of Itbeling the army was confidently antic- ipated even by those who believed that he had proved the charges that were at the bottom of the indictment against him. The peculiarities of French justice seemed to force the conviction that the more proof adduced by the accused the more guilty he was to be held. Indeed, the whole process of irial was indicative of the rottenness of French law processes. It is a marvel that the spectacle this case presents has not even in the first hours awakened French- men to a realization of the need of a new system of judicial procedure. The govern- ment is shown to be controlled by an autocracy. a military oligarchy, in some re- spects worse than an imperial court. Dis- guised as a republic, France lacks the first essential of a republic—the liberty of speech. Zola’s offense was m ly that of criticising this superior body of officers who now seem to have the country in their grasp. He probably told the truth. France seems to dread the truth now more than at any previous time in her turbulent his- tory. If it be now impossible for an earn- est citizen to arise and declare the truth, if after so declaring it he cannet establish his honesty and credibility, if he cannot bring forth evidence of his accuracy, if, in shert, he cannot obtain a full, free and fair trial in the regular course of legal procedure, then France jas fallen upon bad times indeed. Zola figures in this case merely as an incident. His world-wide lit- erary reputation is forgotten. It is no present factor. He is the fly on the wheel. There may be and should be a ceriain smount of sincere sympathy felt for Zola the man in his unjust imprisonment, but the world will watch with greater eager- ness the effect of this outrage upon repub- Mean principles. That France will show such effect is not to be doubted, unless the public conscience there has become perma- nently warped. That is not to be be- Neved. The French, though volatile, are not a cruel people. They have fine in- stincts. They are a fine race. They have made history as have few peoples, and largely through their rapid changes of heart. That they will now complacently observe the bad effects of ultra-militarism upon the public rights of citizens is not to be anticipated. They must soon see that in some of its effects the present method of government is as bad as that of the days of the “lettre de cachet.” ee Matthew W. Galt. Washington's griefs are coming rapidly. Yesterday the city was shocked by the news of the sudden death of Mr. Reginald Fendall. Today comes the startling tidings of the equally sudden death of Mr. Matthew W. Galt, one of the most substantial busi- ness men of this community, and one of its best-loved citizens. The coincidence of these two deaths is startling, owing to the relationship between Mr. Fendall and Mr. Galt. The latter had been « resident of this city for three-quarters of a century. He had always been identified with its commercial growth, the prosperous estab- lNshment founded by his fathet being con- tinued with rare success by himself and brother and later maintained by his sons. The late Mr. Galt leaves a record of which any man may be proud. His absolute in- tegrity and his kindly disposition united to make him respected and admired by a large cirele. He was active in fostering and cre- ating charitable agencies. using to good advantage the wealth that he had accumu- lated. The Children’s Hospita! will be his monument. His name ts closely identified with other institutions, and in many ways Matthew W. Galt will be remembered by~ the people of Washington as one of the capital's most valued citizens. —__++o—____ General Miles’ tour of inspection in Eu- rope in order to gain information concern- ing warfare may, after all, have been due to one of those mysterious presentiments which tradition chronicles, but which science does not explain. ———_++e—_____ The Evil of Procrastination. Intevest In domestic questions stands for the moment suspended in the pressure of a very grave foreign question. But if the talk of war subsides—if developments in tho harbor of Havana have, as now appears un- Ukely it must be confessed, a quieting e: feet on the public pulse—then domestic questions will come to the front again, and ene of the most difficult and important of them is that of currency reform. ‘The argument of those who oppose any action on the question of currency reform fs ‘that there is no need of pressing action. The currency, they assert, will answer in its Present shape in existing conditions. The system could be simplified and strength- ened, but there is plenty of time for that. Let well enough alone. The flurry growing out of the “endless chain” development is over. It is not likely soon, if ever again, to be renewed. When everything is work- ing smoothly, sometime in the future, what may be necessary to take the kinks out of the currency system can easily be applied. Thirteen years ago Samuel J. Tilden, a far-seeing man with a capacity for govern- ment, drew up 4 paper on the subject of coast defenses. He pointed out how much behindhand that work was, and also how very important the work was. He thought that a good time to enter upon the work. There was an enormous surplus in the Treasury, and peace prevailed. Mr. Cleve- land was about to be inaugurated President, and the paper was submitted to him in the hope that he would either incorporate it into his first message to Congress or make some recommendation in accordance with its suggestions. He ignored the paper alto- gether. It was subsequently given to the country in the form of a letter addressed to Mr. Carlisle, who was then Speaker of the House. 2 But nothing ever came of Mr. Tilden’s suggestions. They did not influence the ap- propriation of a single dollar by Congress for any purpose. Their wisdom was not disputed by anybody. But the easygoing feeling prevailed. What's the use? The coast may need protection here and there, but there’s plenty of time for that. The country is not expecting war. That work will be attended to in good time. Has it been? Is there anybody in the country who would not feel a little more comfortable to-day if Mr. Tilden’s advice had been taken and there were fruits of it to be seen all along the coast? We are by no means defenceless, but we might be very much more secure. = Gentlemen who are trying to postpone currency reform would do well to consider this bit of history touching the question of coast defenses. ——>+e—____ The People and the Library. According to a brief note published in yes- terday’s Star 4,582 people visited the Con- gressional Library Tuesday, taking advan- tage of the holiday to inspect this beauti- ful building, so readily within the reach of the people and yet so tantalizingly difficult of access. This number speaks eloquently of the need of prompt action in opening the building to visitors on Sundays and holi- days. Apart from the item of giving the people a chance to read the books at the hours when they are most at liberty, this project of opening the great structure for mere inspection on days when the ordinary pressure of business is removed is worthy of favorable attention. The two plans, however, go together in their relation to the full utilization of this splendid new book home. It will not be enough for Congress to grant the greatly desired facilities for using the library for reference purposes at night. Until the people have been given the fullest possible opportunity to view the beauties of the interior, the paintings, the sculpture, the mosaics, the marbles and the general artistic effect of the whole, the en- terprise will not begin to draw to the full upon its possibilities for elevating the citi- zens of the republic. Sunday opening is greatly desired by many thousands, It has been specificaily asked by certain bodies of people, who have urged with force and iogic the reason why it is wise for the govern- ment to lay before the men and women who are employed during the week the elevating influence of art and architecture. The trus- tees of the Corcoran Gallery of Art wisely decided to utilize the new home of that institution immediately upon its full com- pletion, by throwing it open to the public Sunday afternoons. The people have ap- preciated this privilege. Since this step was taken there has been an average Sunday attendance of fully two thousand people. This is the more significant in view of the fact that the Sunday hours of opening are limited to the afternoon. If the entire day Were devoted to this purpose doubtless the average would be much higher. Taking into account this record and the great rush to the Library last Tuesday, the first avallable holiday since the completion of the build- ing, it is plain that there is a demand on the part of the people for access to exam- ples of the fine arts. Had not Congress chanced to be in session Tuesday it is ques- tionable whether these people could have utilized their opportunity to see the wonderful interior of the building. The librarian should be enabled to throw the halls and the other decorated parts of the structure open Sundays and holidays, re- gardless of the sessions of Congress. ————++s—____ John J.

There does not seem to have been a moment during the pending controversy between Spain and the United States when many !f not mosi of the Spanish people have not thought they could whip the Americans without serious difficulty. There have been many expressions from newspa- pers and individuals going to show that unless the whole business 1s a bluff the sub- jects of the boy king are complacently con- fident that they can make short work of this nation of shcp-keepers. We on this side of the Atlantic have seen things dif- ferently. There has been a disposition to regerd the braggadocio of Spain as the result of the pecullar temperament of the Spaniards. But whatever the cause, wheth- er it be for the purpose of whistling to keep up courage or an outcropping of a genuine spirit of confidence in their own prowess, it is nevertheless observable that there has been no diminution of this bumptiousness in the bearing of the Spanish toward the Americans. Recent news reports from Cuba indicate that many of the Spantsh officers in the country towns of the island are eager to fight the United States, firmly believing that they could win both on land and on ses. One of their favorite argu- ments is Mlustrative of a pecuijarly inverse mental process. They urge that if Spain could send 200,000 men to a small island ike Cube she could send a vastly greater army to the United States.. Such reasoning as this !s worthy of perpetuation, even while cvents are tending toward the devel- cpment of grave conditions. The suggestion. does not seem to have occurred to the Span- ish that {f 200,000 Spaniards were unable to conquer the little island of Cuba the num- ber necessary to subdue the United States THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1898-14 PAGES. must be somewhat greater than the entire Population of Spain. The proposition that Spain's capacities and resources increase along with her difficulties and dangers may be destined to become: historical. —>+e—____ It cannot be denied that a shade of sar- casm seems to tinge some of the compli- ments impled by the movements of «ar- ships.

Something of a sensation appears to have been excited in the United States by the publication of a compartson between the de- fences of China and those of the states. It is suggested that America is laying herselt cpen to aggression on the part of any naval power, and that, as matters stand, she would be almost incapable of serious re- sistance as effete China. One American journal considers that Japan could easily wipe out the American towns on the west- ern seaboard and throw a trained army into the states. No doubt there is a good de: of truth in this contention, and, although Aemerica has hitherto been able to dispense with big armaments and is ccntent with t maintenance of a single army corps, it is highly probable that she may have to be- come a strong sea power in the near future. This view is held by no less an authority than Captain Mahan, and his books on sea power, which haye won so much apprecia- tion in this country and on the continent, are said to have been written to arouse the distinguished author's own countrymen. ‘That they are not fully roused as yet is evi- dent. Since 1890 a limited number of bat- fle ships have been laid down, and four have been completed; but the navy of the states is still an insignificant force, an in- strument utterly inadequate to the defence of her vast seaboard against a second-class naval power, for example, as Japan. ‘The states have been extremely successful in evading and avoiding conflicts with the great powers. Sometimes an American President bullies a minor state, and at gen- eral elections it is considered effective to twist the lion's tail; but the United States are in no position to interfere in interna- tional questicns of importance, and the difficulties in the far east must have made this tolerably clear to thinking Americans. There is something rather ludicrous in the despatch of an insignificant cruiser to the scene of international complications, where the warships of Europe are assembled in large numbers. The Americans are acute enough to realize that the opening up of China to foreign trade is an event of the ‘greatest commercial importance. If they can obtain their share of the prize without coming into conflict with the great powers, the weakness of the states’ navy may be forgotten. If not, we may perhaps expect to witness during the next decade the arm- Ing of the great republic, and the construc- tion of a fleet which will become a factor in European politics. m of Streams. From the New York Tribune. A city has no more right to maintain a public nuisance than has an individual. ‘The teadency of ecent statute legislation is strongly against the pollution of running streams. A city, as an individual, may make use of a stream which flows through or past it. for business or for pleasure, but it is bonnd to iet the flow proceed to its neighbors below in substantially unim- paired quelity and quantity. It has no mere right to pollute the stream than to divert its course or to stop its flow. Over and over again the ccurts have held that all! persons owning property along the banks of a stream are entitled to the use end enjoyment of the water, and to have it flow in its natural and accustomed equree, without obstruction, diversion oF ccrruption. And this title never becomes void untii an adverse easement has been acquired. The fact that the pollution is of leng standing is 1.0 excuse. It rather ag- gravates the fault. Pollution of a stream is a pubiic nuisance, and to maintain a nuisaice is a misdemeenor or a crime, and persistence in such an act is in itself an added offense against the law. ——_+ += —___ Public School Baths. From the New York Evening Post. Although Springfield, Mass., was boasting Jately of having more bathtubs per unit of population than most other cities, its su- perintendent of schools recommends bath- ing facilities in the public schools. He be- Neves that no school building should be erected without such provision for cleanli- ness. It has been demonstrated, he says, that the most injurious element in vitiated air is the odor, because of its action on the nerve center, and he quotes a German pro- fessor of hygiene on the futility of pro- viding well-ventilated school rooms if they are to be occupied by unwashed children. The idea of schoo’ baths Is a novel one in this country, and it is only within recent years that it has been put into practice anywhere. A school in Goettingen, Ger- many, had the first bath room, it being es- tablished in 1883, and now some forty-cities in Germany, Switzerland and Scandinavia have warm shower baths in their school buildings. They are popular, hygienic, practical and economical. Reference is made to one foreign school where the fa- cilities for bathing sixty children an hour cost only $357. * Zola's Ordeal.

Eighteen years of uninterrupted growth and almost phenomenal success, and today this, the people's great supply house, has a brighter, more vigorous, more hopeful, more impetuous youth than ever. It would be strange indeed if we could have built up this trade on any other foundation than the very best service. The convenience of getting many things in one place is too obvious to more than mention; but it has” never made any place successtul. The convenience of a large variety in each sort may have more to do with it. Low prices may have still more. There are natural advantages of large dealing; and because there are ad- vantages, they cause the dealing to be larger still. But the secret of the success of the Boston House lies in the fact that from its inception and all through these eighteen years we have aimed to build on the solid rock of public confidence; and while it has been our earnest endeavor during these years to have every ment true and free from misrepresentation or exaggeration, out your hearty co-operation and faith in our integrity. owe and extend our most grateful acknowledgment. The policy that has proved so successful in the past will be rigidly adhered to in the future. We shall continue to strive to be of the greatest possible service to those who choose our store to deal in. put aside all temporary and purely selfish considerations, must ultimately result in the interest of the server. You will always find us enterprising, progressive and aggressive in everything pertaining to business— liberal in our ways of dealing—anxious to please—glad to right any wrong—and ever ready to take back anything bought of us that isn’t entirely satisfactory.
