Additional Spanish Folly. _ The cable brings from Vienna an extract from an interview which has appeared in print there, the source of which is thought to be the Spanish #mbassador to Austria. ‘The following gem illvminates the deliver- ance: “It could not be to England's interests to see the Spaniards expelied from Cuba, as there might arise at Washington an in- clination to déclare Canada’s independence. during a . the United States should > the Philippines to revolt, Spain could enge herself by r: revolts in the American southern state: Gros: ignorance like this, proceeding from a source so high, would justly excite the wonder if there had not been other that Spanish advices about Ameri- can affairs throughout the whole of this Cuban business hi been grotesquely in- accurate and misleading. Nothing could be more absurd than bracketing, even for purposes of specula- tion, the two colonies of Cuba and Canada. The one has never had anything but kicks and cuffs and prosecution from the home author’ . and consequently has been re- bellious for years. The other has enjoyed an almost perfect home rule, and under it has prospered abundantly. It has grown so in population and power that it might well aspi to set up in business for itself. But one of the most fervent expressions of loyalty to the mother country heard at last year’s jubilee ceremonies came from Canada. There is as much difference be- tween Cuba and Canada as between Spain and England. England would not, if she could, and could not if she would, create and maintain a heli on earth in Canada. The reference to the southern states is laughable. But it was only on Thursday that The Star suggested the probability of just that miscalculation on Spain's part. There is no section of the Union more loyal to the stars and stripes than the south. Her people, through their govern- ve pledged their support to the ident, and among the most ardent of friends of Cuba in Congress are uthern men. The southern coast is lined ith battie ships. and the plans for the ors, Pre movement of troops in large bodies are nearly all traced on southern soil. Spain could not sirike a section of the Union » her ption would be heartier or r than at any point on the southern nd in drawing off she would exe= liveliest fandango of which her feet were capable. ending a commission here to study American trade and bid for it, Spain should have taken some formal steps to acquaint herself with the precise nature of American sentiment toward Cuba, and the thoroughly united spirit of the people in devotion to their own institutions. —_—— The imauguration Day Amendment. The Senate committee on the judiciary has ordered a favorable report on Senator Hoar’s constitutional amendment changing the date of the inauguration, and no time should be lest in its presentation to and passage by the Senate and then by the House at this session. The process of ap- proval by the legislatures is slow and diffi- cult. It is not a subject that appeals strongly to any class of people or any fac- tion in partisan polities. It is merely a question of domestic adjustment that nuy requires attention, and it can only * put through by dint of the most inde- fatigable urging on the part of those who realize how important, in its way, it is. it might properly be called an amendment for the preservation of the national health, and thus be given a place of equal insist- ence wjth the pending national quarantine bil Those thousands of citizens who have journeyed to the capital to witness the in- duction of a President into office know the full value of the proposal to shift the date to April 3 and if the case were to be y explained it would very likely be possible to secure the approval of the legis- latures of three-fourths of the states. Meanwhile there should be no difficulty whatever in convincing two-thirds of the members of each house of Congress of the need of this change of date, for practically every member has a distinct impression of more than one wretched, dangerously dis- agreeable inauguration day. Aside from the meteorological considerations involved, the historical reasons for the amendment are sufficient to warrant its adoption, the first inauguration of President Washington having cecurred on April 30th, ~ ————++e—___ The question of annexing Hawaii might becom much easier of solution to some of oy statesmen in the event of some other ations taking a fancy to the islands while nimbk Instead of this one is embroil2d with Spain.

The Two Points of View. Some idea of the 4ifficulty certain to at- tend the effort to settle the differences be- tween the United States and Spain without an appeal to arms may be gathered from the contentions of the two governments with respect to certain features of the Beneral question. Q) Spain insists that the revolt in Cuba was instigated by American influences, and has been fed constantly from these shores. We know better. The revolt had its origin in Spain's misgovernment of the island; and the coal bills of the Navy Department contracted in feeding the furnaces of cruis- trs on patrol against filibusters alone show how diligent we have been in enforcing the neutrality laws. ° (2) Spain asserts that the Maine was destroyed by an accident from within the sp, although her only authority fof the Statement is the report of a court of her own ordering, which, it is well known, made next to no investigation of the wreck at all. On the strergth of this she likewise feclares that if the United States presents a claim for damages it will be rejecied. This government awaits the report of its court inquiry, whose work has been as thorough as the conditions allowed. When that report is received the government Will Indorse it aad govern its course accord- Ingty. @) Spain declares that the presence of the American fleet off the Florida coast is & menace to her and threatens the success f autonomy in Cube. We know that au- | holds General Lee in the highest regard for the manne: in which he has carried himself at h's post. This is Senator Proc- tor’s tribute, delivered in his speech on Thursda “Of General Lee I need say littie, His valuable services to his country in his try- ing pesition are too well known %o all his countrymen to require mention. Besides his ability, high character and courage, he possesses the important requisites of un- failing tact and courtesy, and, withal, his military education and training and his soldierly qualities are invaluable adjuncts in the equipment of our representative in a | country so completely under military rule as is Cuba.” 3 It is to be seen therefore that the two governments aie-very far apart, and that it will require- management of a very high order to effect a settlement of the issues between them’ without bloodshed, if it may be assumed that Spain intends to continue in the fatuous course she has for some time befn pursuing. a ——_— ¢»__ Mt. Pleasant Rapid Transit. The problem of furnishing the residents of the Mount Pleasant region with ade- quate rapid-transit facilities has called forth a report from the District Commis- sioners that discloses a peculiar condition of affairs, and shows the need for prompt action by Congress. Indeed, in view of all the facts, the session should not. close with- out adding a statute to the books that will grant the relief that these thousands of residents so earnestly desire. lt is shown by the report that one read has sub- mitted gracefully to the Commissioners and the demands of the people, and has expressed its entire willingness to do what- ever is considered best for the publte in- terests, making no stipulations as to routes or methods of propulsion. Another road, the only other available for the serv- ice, proposes narrowly restricting condi- tions, refusing to construct the overhead system on any route or the underground system on newly cpened streets. It stipu- lates for a certain route, on which it is determined to construct nothing but the underground trolley. There are good reasons why the under- sround trolley cannot easily and well be constructed on new streets. There are equally good reasons why the overhead trolley should not be permitted on any streets in the closely built suburbs without precautions against electrolysis and with- out a guarantee of its removal in favor of the underground system within a com- paratively short period. These suburbs are in practically every respect urban in char- acter. Already there are one and one-third miles of underground construction beyond the boundary that forms the legal limita- tion of the overhead system. The Capital Traction Company proposes to construct an extension of the conduit system to the Connecticut avenue bridge, thus giving in the near future two full miles of conduit road beyond the city limits. This tendency is certain to continue until the entire sec- tior of close habitation will enjoy the same immunity from the everhead system as the technically urban portions of the capital. In view of these considerations it is ob- viously the duty of Congress to deal with the region now asking for additional facili- ties according to the nature of that de- mand alone, and without reference to the qucrulous stipulations .of any corporation. Let Congress proceed to Jay out the routes according to the best information on the subject, considering the Commissioners’ re- port as an entirely trustworthy presenta- tion. If there are privileges to be granted in adjusting the matter they should by all Means go to that corporation which shows the mest pronounced disposition and an immediate readiness to accommodate the people, letting the other take what is left, and compelling it to do what it ought for thé public convenience. But whatever the congressional decision on this point may be, the matter should be settled without further delay, to the end that the suburbs may enjoy speedily much-needed “rapid transit. ———+e-—____ Fellowing de Lome’s Advice. When Senor de Lome, the late Spanish minister at this capital, wrote confidenti- ally to his friend Senor Canalejas in Ha- vana that celebrated letter which caused the discomfiture of the former and his res- ignation from his post, he used the follow- ing suggestive ianguage: “I agree entirely with you, without a mil- itary success, nothing will be accomplished tkere (in Cuba), and without military and political success there is here always dan- ger that the insurgents will be encouraged, if not by the government at least by part of the public opi E This was good advice. It was rot to be gainsaid that the insurgents had fought the Spaniards sufficiently to a standstill to warrant the belief here that Spain could no longer hope for their conquest save per- haps by methods of placation, Those meth- eds had been advanced and were known to have failed. Senor de Lome’s recipe for the conquest of Cuba was therefore a mili- tary success. Thus he propounded a virtual paradox, urging as the sole reliance that which had been shown to have been im- possible in the past. They are trying now to make this para- dox @ possibility. They are planning a grand campaign of conquest, Generals Blanco and Pardo. They are about to re- erganize the army on an “efficient” foot- ing, with no lees than eighty battalions, and with them they are going to sweep the island from end to end. This plan of cam- paign has been outlined before. It has never succeeded. There are less troops in good condition now than when General Weyler had command. The insurgents are stronger in the field, more securely en- trenched, better supplied, more hopeful qnd enthusiastic, more certain of ultimate in- dependence for Cuba. Is it likely “that under these conditions the “military success” recommended 50 sadly by de Lome as the last resort can now be achieved? There is nothing in the record to warrant the expectation that it will, -_ —~re-—_____ It is but to be expected that some of the gentlemen who perceive dark designs lurk- ing everywhere will endeavor to nail the praposition to change the day of inaugur: tion as a scheme to prolong Mr. McKinley’ term of office in the event of defeat. ———_ +e —___. if "Mr. Wanamaker continues to deftly link the rames of “Quay” and “Spain” so as to associate them in the popular mind, he may succeed in creating a feeling that his antagonist ought to be whipped on gen- eral principl2s. Secretary Gage, after contemplating the activity of the silver forces, believes that the War and Navy Departments are not the only institutions which have on hand som? fighting to protect the country, General Weyler is under the disagreeabl necessity of denying responsibility for a great many things which would tend to promote hjs popularity with fanatic fol- lewers in Spain. ————»ree___ Aubrey Beardsley. Aubrey Beardsley, the creator the stimulus of the traditional purple cow and pale green girl. The colors of nature have b2en shaken about and misapplied, while the accepted theories of artistic cut- line have been put aside as unworthy of the spirit dominating the end of the most wonderful century in history. B2ardsley was a draughtsman of rather more than usual ability, but by no means a marked genius, save as his talent ran out in a channel of grotesquencss. H> cannot be called a cartoonist of the type of Hogarth, for the latter artist was at all times prac- tically true in his delineations. Beardsley was not a humorist, save as he made fun by his distortions, and then not with a pal- pably humorous intent. He occurred at a time when London sought a new fancy, and h2 “admirably sulted the temperament of the time. His success was rather the re- sult of a coincidence than qf any excep- tional ability on his part. The decadent literature emanating from the same cct2rie into which he was drawn had paved the way for his abominations, and it was rot difficult for the followers of the cult to imagine a strong liking for the “new art.” A sudden love of symbolism develop2d un- der the influence of this combination of decadent books and pictures, xnd under the nam2 of allegory much trash was perpe- trated and eagerly accepted by the eager throng™of faddists. Beardsleyism cannot leave any permarent impress upoa ertistic standards, and will survive the passing of the fancy only as a rscord of one of the most extravagant of devices to interest the satiated minds of the ennuied degenerates ot the British capital. —__+ + s____ Prominent Europeans who have declared that a republican form of gavernment is a failure will no doubt be surprised to note, by the plans for securing pleasant inaugu- ration weather, that the @untry looks for- ward to electing presidents as usual. An Iowa newspaper complains that there are too many elections. And, on the other hand, there are politicians who grieve be- cause there are not enough to go around. = It is to be feareG that Prof. Andree sac- rificed his life merely that a number of ether men might acquire fame and money organizing reli2f expeditiors. —_++-____ Governor Leedy does not propose to let the impression get abroad that prosperity has put Kansas cut of fighting condition. +e _____ SHOOTING STARS.
