An American Congress. Congress has acted in the matter of ap- propriating a large sum for the mational defense in a manner to inspire confidence in the future of the republic. The spec- tacle of both houses voting unanimously in favor of this extraordinary proposition 1s without parallel. It should have an im- mediate and wholesome effect upon the at- titude of Spain toward this country. It should make unmistakably for peace, and peace, too, with a gain rather than a diminution of the prestige of this country. The Senate’s work today was even more s:gnificant and inspiring than was that of the House. The Senate is known to some people as an obstructive body, through which it is difficult to pass a legislative provision. Its rules, permitting unlimited debate, often stand in the way pf action. Its record is such that under ordinary cir- cumstances a long and perhaps dangerous delay might have been expected on any tnusual proposition. But the Senate has wade a new record. Laying aside its pri- vileges for speech-making, yielding its tra- tions to the spirit of the hour, it has Fussed this important measure without a word of debate, thus in the most solemnly impressive manner giving the country and the world to understand that when the question of American honor is concerned the Senate contains no filibusters and needs no cloture rule, for it is composed of American citizens and statesmen, united in support of the truly American citizen and statesman now at the head of public affairs. It was well that in each house the vote on the passage of the bill, though a fore- gone conclusion, should have been taken by the formal process of calling the roll. The unvarying response of members from every state, representing every shade of opinion, some of long service in Congress, others newly arrived on the scene of legis- lation, is to be regarded as the voice of the people. In the Senate today the vote cast was unusually large. Seventy-six senators gave their assent to the passage of the emergency appropriation. There is something inspiring in that number. It has the ring of history. ———__+- ++ _____ A Good Fight Well W The action of the Senate yesterday in edopting the House provision as to tele- phones in the District was the more grati- fying because of its unexpectedness. When the House added the paragraph to the bill it had little hope that it would remain untouched, as evidenced by its immediate provisicn of a means for ascertaining the facts and figures relating to telephone charges here and elsewhere, to be used to sustain the House in resisting the expected negation of the Serate. It was hoped by the citizens that the conferees on the bill would agree to some sort of reduction, not as marked as the House item provided, perhaps, but yet granting a sensible relief tea, the telephone users and needers of che capital. But it is to be seen that the House and the people alike did the Senate an injustice. ‘The spirit of protest against the exor- bitant rates, it is plain, had penetrated to the upper house of the Congress, and when the vote was taken the Senate stood Irore than two to one in favor of an im- mediate and unmistakable reduction in the rates, bringing the telephones within reach of thousands who have heretofore been kept from them because of their great ecst. Much of the credit for this victory is to be given to Senator Pettigrew, who fol- lowed up his opposition in committee to the proposition to strike out the House item by presenting to the Senate itself as complete an account of the financial sta- tvs of the telephone company as has ever been obtainable by those not inside the corporation. The statistics that Mr. Petti- gtew produced and explained formed the basis of yesterday's action. The Senate was shown that the company was earning an outrageous profit at the expense of the citizens, without paying anything for the privilege of enjoying the monopoly of the local field. As the case now stands the rates are re- duced, the matter has passed beyond the stege of revision at this session and the enly thing remaining to be done by the citizens is to require the company to re- spect the law as it will soon appear on the statute books and to demand that there be no diminution in the quality of the service rendered. The good fight has been won, far more speedily than was ex- pected, and for this success the District thanks those men at both ends of the Capitol who by their voices and their vetes demonstrate] in such a marked man- ner to this corporation that it must recog- nize the modern tendency toward an ad- ivstment of the producing cost and the selling price of a commodity. ——— «= ____ An agricultural publication prints an in- structive article on “The Cow of the Fu- ture.” This implies a joyous confidence that the oleomargarine industry does not leave the cow with no future worth men- tioning to look forward to. ————~-2-___ General Weyler naturally regards it as @ malicious intervention to feed starving Cubans, on the theory that it may make them strong enough to fight. ——_ e > ___ Sustaining General Lee. Mr. Labouchere, in his newspaper, the London Truth, criticises the action of this gcvernment ir. sustaining General Lee. It is never safe to take Mr. Labouchere in earnest. He bas delightful talents as a quiz and cynic, and exercises them with re- freshing freedom. He plays upon his own government at times most unsparingly. He may be taking @ crack at us just now supply to keep his hand in. But if he is in ezrnest he reeds to reflect a little on the difference between the cases of Lord. Sack- ville and Seror de Lome and that of Gen- eral Lee. Lord Sackville had offended against a fundamental law of diplomacy, and there- fore had forfeited all right to further recog- nition as his country’s representative at this capital. There could be no dispute @bout the”fects. If Lord Salisbury felt in need of fuller particulars this government did not It acted promptly upon the undis- puted facts in its possession, and subse- quently was sustained by the English gov- ernment. The case was entirely clear to us, Otherwise, this government could not have afforded the extreme action taken. Senor de Lome confessed judgment and Yan eway. He very well knew that he could expect no support-at home. The Spanish government could not have given fhim any sort of countenance. Had he at- tempted to justify or excuse himself his Passports would have been promptly forth- <cming; or bad his government attempted & defense of him it would have been the signal for an tmmediate severance of all , triendly relations between the two coun- tries. General Woodford would have left Madrid at cnce. The cave of General Lee is of an entirely different nature. Spain now declares that she never demanded his recall, but gave, at most, only an “intimation” that a change in the corsul general's office at Havana would be agreeable to her. The reasons g:ven applied only to General Lee’s sup- posed sympathies with the cause of Cuban independence. His official acts were not impeached. Naturally and properly this government refused to consider the matter. As its representative's official acts had all received approval at home it could not abandon him without abandoning itself. It would not do thet—could not afford to do that. In sustaining him it simply sustained itself. Mr. Phelps, the American minister quoted by Mr. Labouchere, could not have laid down any rule in the Sackville case, or on lines growing logically out of that case, which applies in this Lee case. No govern- ment could afford to uphold a representa- tive who had offended officially, or in any gross way personally, against the govern- ment to which he stood accredited. But no more could any government fail to support its representative in any foreign country whose official acts, so far as she was in- formed ‘of them, tallied with his instruc- tions and its clear purposes. If General Lee is cbjectionable to Spain in Havana the United States also is, and her attack, if she has any to make, should be on this govern- ment and not cn its faithful official. —_+-+—____ Justice to Washington. Among our national legislators who act intelligently and justly in dealing with the affairs of the national capital is Senator Hale. His attitude toward the item in the appropriation bill for the maintenance of the free public library was especially grat- ifying, both to the friends of that insti- tution and to the citizens of the District who hope for material advances in the near future toward the goal of their worthy ambitions, the development of this city to its full proportions as the capital of a great nation. Mr. Hale, whose name was, by the mischance of a typographical error, omitted from the list of those edi- torially mentioned in yesterday’s Star as speaking in favor of the amendment Mon- day in the Senate, advanced several strong and striking arguments in advocacy not only of the creation of the library as a vital local need, but also of its mainte- mance upon the rightful basis of an even division of the burden between the Dis- trict and the government. Speaking of the conditions confronting the committee on appropriations that led to the incor- poration of the amendment into the bill Mr. Hale said: “We were glad to do it. We were glad to provide that the general government should pay half the bills. The city is the ward of the nation. ‘We take its whole government upon us. We do not give them any local government; they have not the suffrage. They are all our wards. They are in our hands. It is our business to look after them. They are our household and we spend their money. We assess taxes upon them, in which they have no voice. As to the expenditure, we make the limit our- selves and then collect and spend it. We felt under these conditions that we ought not to hesitate a moment in giving this beneficent thing for the benefit of the peo- ple of this District.” ‘These sentiments should be preserved, es- pecially coming from one who stands high on the appropriations committee and who seemed when he spoke to voice the spirit that animates that body of the Senate in dealing with local appropriations. As long as such a spirit prevails the District is safe from those who would disregard the just principle of the act upon which the present local government is based. —_———_-- ____ The Verdict at Wilkesbarre. The verdict of the jury in the case of Skeriff Martin ard his deputies, rendered teday at Wilkesbarre, Pa., and declaring the accused to be innccent of murder, is to be regarded with satisfaction by the friends of law and order in all parts of the country. The case was peculiar but there was nothing in it to becloud the real issue upon which the fate of the sheriff and his deputies depended. The question was ciearly presented whether the men who were killed were law breakers or threat- ened to become such, and whether the or- der to fire upon them was justifiable under the existing circumstances. The testimony for the defense, unshaken by the most rig- orous cross-examination, showed that the rioters were endangering the peace of the community, that they were armed and marching with a hostile intent toward a certain point, where trouble between them and the protectors of property was only too palpably imminent. When headed off by @ posse of regularly enrolled deputies, under the leadership and orders of the sheriff of the county, the men were or- dered to halt and disperse. A struggle en- sued, the sheriff was thrown down and surrounded by men with arms in their hands. The order to fire was given and many were killed and wounded. It was a terrible tragedy, deplorable from every Feint of view, but it would have been dou- bly deplorable if by the verdict of the jury iu this case the seal of judicial disapproval had been set upon the only means of pre- serving the peace in such contingencies. Directly after the tragedy the opinion was widely expressed that perhaps the sherifi and his mea had acted too hastily and tbat the killing and wounding were not to be justified by the circumstances. In the ligh: of the evidence, however, bearing upon every phase of the case it is plain that the verdict of “not guilty” is proper and that the early impressions were not based upon a full appreciatien of all the facts. ———_+++—____ If the United States government is really after the Chilean cruiser O'Higgins it is to be hoped she can be secured in time to be put in commission on St. Patrick’s day.

Senator Mills has decided to retire from political life. He goes reluctantly, but in recognition of the fact that a change has come over the democratic party. The leadership of that organization has passed into new hands, and the issue for which he so long stood has been subordinated. Only a few years ago and Mr. Mills was one of the controlling forces of the democ- racy. Tariff reform was the shibboleth. Mr. Cleveland was President seeking re- election, Mr. Carlisle was Speaker of the House, and Mr. Mills chairman of ways and means. The duty of putting the issue into the form of a bill and passing the measure through the House devolved upon THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, the Texas leader. It was a task of consid- erable difficulty, but he acquitted himse!f of it with tact and skill. The Campaign was lost, but the issue survived, and four years later the party returned to power on it. Now, however, tariff reform, though the party's pledges on the subject are still un- redeemed, no longer possess any potency, while those who stood so conspicuously for it are either in private life, or, like Mr. Mills, are on their way there. Mr. Cleve- land and Mr. Carlisle left office under the most serious displeasure of their former political associates. Colonel Morrison has returned to Illinois, and Mr. Mills now an- nounces his early return to Texas. Noth- ing has come of their years of labor for free trade, and nothing appears on the cards for the future. Free silver at 16 to 1 is now the democ- racy’s cry. The old leaders are shy of it, or else are openly opposed to it. New men are at the front, and are insisting on it. The man who does not subscribe to it must get out. There is not only no leadership for him, but actually no place for him in the party. Strangely enough, these old leaders were themselves once free silver men. Mr. Car- lisle, Mr. Mills, and Colonel Morrison ad- vocated free coinage at 16 to 1 for years. But as the question grew in difficulty their lights increased; and at last, becoming convinced that the policy would be detri- mental to the best interests of the coun- try, they had the courage to face about. Mr. Mills has just announced his change of view with much clearness, and the act adds to his reputation—always high—as an able, consistent and courageous public servant. ——_———_ «+ ___ The meeting of the Commercial Florists’ Asscciation was one of the few occasions on which it is perfectly allowable for gen- tlemen to throw bouquets at one another. ————_+ ++ —______ It is confidently expected that the tele- Phone monopoly will “ring off” when its protest takes such shape as to ‘ead to offi- cial inspaction of its books. ——_++»____ A loan to Spain would very properly com- mand enormous inter2st on the same prin- ciple that a bad risk must pay a heavy premium for insurance, —_>+2—____ If Cuba is worth the desperate fight Spain has made for it, Hawaii, resourceful in soil and important in position, 1s surely worth annexing.

Miss Cay2nne had caused her partner a greac deal of annoyance by forgetting what her long suit was and remaining oblivious to trump signals. He mopped the persptra- tion from his brow and ventured the ob- servation: “I was under the impression that you sald you were accustomed to playing whist.”” “Yes,” she answered, sweetly, “I play it.

It is an excellent thing—the present re- vival of interest in marking by tablet, monument or otherwise, the scenes of im- portant events which occurred hereabouts during the war of the revolution. The latest project of the kind, the erec- tion of a suitable morument on Dorchester heights, South Boston, will commend itself generally. It was on this commanding po- sition—at that time included within the town of Dorchester—that the army of Gen- eral Washington constructed the earth- works that menaced Boston, and compelled the British to evacuate the city. That the entrenchments thrown up un- der Washington’s direction were not care- fully preserved is cause for regret, and emphasizes the need of erecting a suitable monument to mark the point of vantage, the possession of which by the continen- tals compelled the redccats to abandon Bos- ton to the patriot forces. ——___+ + + ____— Philadelphia's Pingree Patch, From the Philadelphia Times. An experiment was tried last year on a small scale in utilizing a portion of the vacant land in a single section of the city for the benefit of those partially or wholly out of employment. It appears that ninety- six quarter-acre farms produced an aver- age of $62 each, the land being planted with potatoes and other vegetables. The total return of the experiment was $5,955, from a money outlay of $1,825, nearly half of which went for the salaries of superintendent and office expenses, the outlay for plowing, tools, seeds and fertil- izers being less than $600, or about one- tenth of the value of the produce raised. As the most of this produce was raised by those unskilled in agriculture, the showing is an excellent and im every way encourag- ing one. SSS Law-Abiding Bostonese. From the Boston Herald. The Hollis Street Theater had an im- mense Saturday afternoon audience last week, three-quarters of whom were women, and it was difficult to find a single ob- structive head covering in the audience. The law is enforced in Boston, when at- tention is called to the subject, and it is to the credit of the women of Boston that very few of them seek to evade it. It is yery popular, and a good deal of its popu- larity is among the women themselves, who had often suffered from its non-ex- istence as much as the men previous to its enactment. ‘The simple fact is that no country in the list cares to get in Uncle Sam's wa; that patient and long-suffering Dl his eye. ek Eee Sone ta te SES Oe tae “Boll ‘gold South and writing in- the words “Loyal South." — MAROH 9, 1898-12 PAGES. special | Woodward **.
