When the announcement—thought to ke semi-official—was recently made from Ma- drid that the Spanish government would under no circumstances pay an indemnity for the destruction of the Maine it was considered in this country to be arrogant and unseemly, and to afford another evi- dence of Spain's inability to deal properly and soberly with a great question. She had kicked before being spurred. She had un- dertaken to cross a bridge before reaching it. She had, as we thought, exposed hers: to just criticism. There was a haste abot her deliverance which of itself invited <1s- picion. What right, it was asked, had she to speak at all on the subject until tne case had been closed and the action of tue United States determined? Let us remembe- and apply this now ‘n our own behalf. Why become uncompro- mising and rigid in any position on the strength purely of a hypothetical case? Nobody cutside of the members of the court of inquiry can be assumed to know fully, accurately and with certainty what the findings of the court are about the ioxs of the Maine. The findings are ready «nd are on the eve of being submitted. The court commands the confidence of the coun- try. The President and his cabinet have so far been indorsed. There is not the slightest warrant on the part of anybody to assume that the emergency, whatever it may prove to be, will not be fairly and squarely met. On the contrary, all that has gene before is warrant for the assump- tion that now that the crisis is at hand we shall deal with it quite as successfully cs we have done with any preliminary y ceeding leading up to ‘t. The inquiry at Havana was not ordered, nor has it been conducted, with the view of finding a pretext for a war with Spain. The United States has never been seeking ¥ it is now ready for war if war is a reces- sity, but only on that ground. It could not afford to swagger into a quarrel wit! any power, and least of all with a decayed power like Spain. Nor is it at all likely to do so. The whole case of the Maine rests upon the findings of the court of inquiry and all surmises of what they may prove to be, and of the duty they may impose, while interesting in the line of speculation, and ina measure instructive, Jo not afford proper grounds for a proclamation of offi- cial conduct on anybody's part. The white feather has never appeared in Uncle Sam's cap, and it never will appear thre. ————->___ Stamps, Imports and Exports. The most extraordinary demands are be- ins made on the post office for postage stamps frcm all perts of the country and extra work must be begun to prevent en- croachments upon the reserve supplies. It 4s believed that this increase in the postal business is a sign of increased business ac- tivity and that herein lies a sure sign of the times, standing for the unmistakable return of prosperity to the country. It is true encugh that the volume of correspondence reflects in a large measure the business ecnditions in every line and trade. No ether cause than a swelling of the volume of orders and communications about busi- ness enterprises conducted on a rising scale of activity and confidence can be found to account for the steady and material in- crease in the demand for stamps. Other signs tend to verify this one. The income of the gover: ment from imports was very lerge in Fetruary and promises to be still larger in March. February, indeed, ¥was one of the best periods this country has known, from a commercial standpoint, for several years. March is usually a good merth in the customs department for the reason that the goods imported for the summer trade are usually started Into the country at about this time. April is better still for this reason. But another fact op- erated and still operates to increase the customs revenues. The stock of sugar rushed into the country in anticipation of the new tariff is about exhausted and heavy sugar tmportations are ow being reported, bringing the tctals up to a satisfactory ng- ure. In the line of domestic industry the signs are all cheering. The exports record- ed last month were unusually heavy. This, of course, means work for Americans at fair wages. It means that mills that have been idle for the lack of orders are in oper- ation once again and that the looms, the fcundries, the furnaces and the shops are once more turning out their products while the workmen are again busy. So, taking the three symbols of good times to- gether, the stamps, the imports and the ex ports, it is to be reasonably predicted that the balance sheet, as regards both the gov- ernment ard the people, will soon be in as satisfactory shape as at any time during the past decade. ad ——_~>+2—____ A Misanderstanding Explained. The latest developments in regard to the provision of rapid transit facilities for the Mount Pleasant territory not now so sup- plied are calculated Jo increase the chances of securing a satisfactory arrangement of tracks and motor systems in that region in the near future. The Metropolitan Com- pany disavows any intention to block the Proper development of thé project along the lines laid down by the Commissioners, and appears to place ‘itself alongside the Traction Company in a willingness to sub- mit to whatever may be regarded as right and proper for the companies to do for the public benefit. The situation in all other respects is just the same as before the explanation of its position by the Metro- politan Company's of The needs of the area affected are stil pressing, having been only restored to their former status by the recent revival of rapid transit ser- vice on the 14th street line. The Commis- sioners have acted wisely in considering the requirements of the section first of all. The misunderstanding now cleared by the expianation of the Metropolitan directors should not serve to hinder in any way the early passage of legislation giving to the section, through one or both roads, the needed rapid transit. ———- +s ____ The Spanish board of inquiry conserva- tively refrained from suggesting that an indemnity be required from the United Siates for blocking Havana harbor. —_—_-~ e+ ____ Senator Proctor as a Speaker. Senator Proctor’s speech on the condi- tion of affairs in Cuba continues to be the subject cf much complimentary comment. it /* The King of Spain is justified in suspect- the case of Cuba could be justified by that Geliverance alone. But Senator Procter has rendered a val- uabie service outside of the Cuban ques- tion. He has contributed a striking ex- ample of how strong and effective simplic- ity is as a mold for the preparation of a public speech. There was no bid for ap- plause. There was no straining after effect. The art of the orator and the vo- cabulary of the rhetorician were alike shunned. In a style as bold as Dean Swift's, and with a manner of delivery as shy and unpretending as that of Mr. Lin- coln at Gettysburg, Mr. Proctor described the greatest horror of the age at length, and held his listeners spellbound to the close. No orator of wide fame or accepted style has addressed the Senate in thirty years so as to command more perfect sym- pathy or attention. This, "it may be repeated, was a valuable service in itself, and deserves to be re- membered. Our speech, oral and written, has for some years been growing florid. The stump has exercised an injurious in- fluence on many of our most capable speakers. In the eagerness and éxcitement of campaigning tley have yielded to the temptations of exaggeration, until the simpler forms of public address have some- what gone out of fashion. The fashion has come to be, on the stump and elsewhere, to marshal adjectives in great force, spread the wings of fancy to their fullest reach, and soar away. . Mr. Proctor’s is, in every way, the finer style. It takes no thought of the turn of a phrase, nor any account of adjectives. It is clear because simple, and convincing because sound and _ conservative. Its effects are all natural, and therefore the strongest and most enduring that can be Produced. —+ += ____. The Anacostia Flats. The Senate yesterday passed the joint resolution directing the Secretary of War to investigate the question of reclaiming the Anacostia flats and to report “forthe with” to Congress as to the feasibility and ecst of removing the present unwholesome conditions. This project should have been undertaken long ago. The facts as to the need of the improvement are well under- stood. All that is required by Congress to enable it to legislate intelligently upon the subject is what the “engineer authorities cali a “project,” which scts forth the amount of work to be done, the exact ob- jects to be attained and the cost of the whole. With such a project before them the committees cannot in reason refuse or neglect to attend to the subject immedi- ately. There is pressing reason for the prcmpt reclamation of the channel to the navy yard from the encroachments of the alluvial deposits. This channel is now crocked and dangerous. It is almost im- Pcssible to permit a vessel of any substan- tial size to reach the wharf for communféa- tion with the gun foundry. In case of war it might be highly desirable to enable the largest ships of the navy to reach that wharf. But in any event the navy finds it- self at all times seriously embarrassed by the shallows of the branch, while its em- ployes are shattered in health by the foul influences from the flats if they remain any length of time in service at the foun- dry. The joint resolution passed yesterday dces not contemplate any immediate at- tack of the Anacostia, being only a tenta- tive proposition that does not bind the houses to any further action. It is incon- ceivable, however, that the submission of the repcrt provided for by the resolution will not be followed by an enactment that will insure the commencement of the long- deisyed work. Tne House ought to pass the provisional resolution without delay and so enable the War Department au- thorities to press their surveys to such #n early conclusion that the desired informa- tion may be in the possession of the com- mittees early in the coming session, if not before the close of the present session. ——_+ +e —____ Man‘s Rudimentary Giszard. A distinguished paleontologist claims to have discovered facts serving to show that the vermiform appendix, that mysteriously useless organ that has annoyed the human family so much of late years, is no more nor less than the rudimentary remnant of the gizzard with which he believes the monstrous progenitors of man of tKe ter- tiary period of the earth's existence were supplied. Some of these gigantic creatures, lizards in form, birds in kind, animc-s in some functions, are believed to have devel- oped by the gradual stages described by the supporters of the theory of evolutién into the semblance of a human being. If the bird form be the original of the human race it is reasonable to believe that it may have been supplied with a gizzard, which in the bird of modern times possesses a definite and important function in the digestion of the food. The bird having no teeth the food is in many eases swallowed whole. some birds can crush the food with their beaks, but normally the digestion is permitted largely through the agency of the gizzard, where the food is ground into fine particles. The interior coating of this organ is rough and muscular. Many birds swallow, as far as the gizzard, small pebbies that aid the process of attrition. Thus if the latest the- ory be correct a curious paradox is present- ed. Whereas in the beginning, as now, te gizzard performed its functions most satis- factorily when supplied with undigestible substances, its rudiment that now remains in the human structure becomes a center of dangerous conditions as soon as any for- eign substance, and especially any hard matter, is deposited in it. One of the mar- vels of anatomy for some years has been this strange sac in the upper intestines, ap- parently without the least function in the digestive system and capable of being re- moved without affecting the health of the patient save to a favorable degree. Re- searches have revealed many traces of such rudiments in the human system. Darwin’s studies brought to light many resemblances between man and the lower orders. It may now be that the despised vermiform appen- dix will be exploited as the real “missing link” binding man to the past ages, when life assumed many forms that are today unknown. + ——____+ +. ____ The sociologists are asking, “Do Ameri- can wives consider their husbands merely as bread-winners??

Contrary to Ethies. “I am very much inclined to suspect that you misled me when you said you had ex- perjence on the stage,” remarked the stage manager of the Dashing Daisies Burlesque Company. “Why, isn't my work satisfactory?” in- quired the ccmedian. “Yes. But you took it very good-natured- Ty when the manager said he’d pay you part of your salary now and the rest later.” The Difference.

Prof. Henry C. Adams in the Atlantic. The merchant, the manufacturer, and the farmer, working under conditions of in- dustrial liberty, do not seem to require any peculiar supervision on the part of the state, for competition is adequate to in- sure relative justice as between custom, as well as the sale of goods at a fair price. But in the ilway industry, competition does not werk so beneficent a result. On . suck is its nature that it im- ilway manageis the necessity of disregarding equity between customers and of fixing rates witzout considering their fairness, whether judged from the point of view of cost or of social results. Were this not true there would be no rail- way problem. The sailway industry is an extensive, and not an intensive industry. Ability to per- form a unit of service cheaply depends more upon the quantity of business trans- acted than upon attention t® minute de- tails. The expenses incident to the opera- tions of a railway do not increase in proportion to the increase in the vol- ume of traffic. This does ret pertain to the business of the manufactur tie mer- chant or the mer, but is peculiar to the business of transportation. It is adequate to explain why all advanced peoples have surrounded the administration of railways with peculiar legal restrictions. The ne- cessity of some sort of government control lies in the nature of the business liself. ——_++e—_____ A Question of Justice. Frem the American (Philadelphia.) It is a question of justice with the Amer- ican people, not a mere question of dol- lars and cents. If they had been moved by questions of trade and commerce they would have long since’ found justification for intervention and long since have inter- vened, for the war has cut a flourishing ccmmerce between the United States and Cuba down to a mere shadow of its former se But to protect mere selfish and prop- erty interests the American people have not felt called upon to intervene. It is to save life, out of regard for the well being and happiness of our fellow-men, from a purpose to alleviate the sufferings in Cuba, to save the helpless in Cuba from the con- tirued scourge of war and famine that now stalks over the island that the American people purpose to intervene. It is a high and wortky purpose, a purpose that should be commended everywhere, a purpose that should be disapproved by no Christian man, whether prince or peasant. —_ 214s ___ Maryland and Good Roads. From the Baltimore Amertean. There is simple common sense for the gcod roads question. Get good men, and make the money reach the roads. As things are at present organized—or disor- ganized—in Maryland, noj one dollar in four or five appropriated for roads reaches the work on the roads. This fact is known. It is admitted. It is one of the chief scan- dals of the state. Now the time has come for the money to be honestly used. There should be new la’ new regulations, new men and new methods. The lack of good roads is keep- ing down the price of every farm in the state, costing every farmer more to get his products to market, keeping back that progress which would come if we had bet- ter highways. It is a simple matter, but we hope the legislature will study it and begin by wise laws that progress toward better things, which will lead Maryland to the destiny that belongs to it by right of position and by the exhaustless value of its resources. —_>+s—__ A Stalwart American. Frem the Louisville Courler-Journal. No wonder the Spanish government de- sires the departure of Fitzhugh Lee from Cuba. He is just the sort of man they would want there if they had nothing to ecnceal; he is the least desirable man they could have under existing conditions. ‘The fact is, General Lee is the right man for the place which he fills. The Spanish do not like him, not because he is lacking in courtesy or in tact, for both of them he possesses. in high degree, as his politi- cal enemies testify. To state the matter plainly, the Spaniards want a consul gen- eral at Havana whom they can scare, and they have discovered that Fitzhugh Lee is not that sort of man. There are plenty of others of the same sort in the country, of cotrse, but the Spaniards would like to take .the chances of a change. They are not likely to be accommodated. ————~22____ We Are Not Land Hungry.
