Interventi- : on these lines has not been forcibly resisted by Spain, and has given no pretext for Euro- pean interference. There is a tendency to believe that further persistent and vigor- ous intervention of this sort, as, for in- stance, to feed the starving and to check the war in Cuba, which through its bar- barities has caused this starvation, would be effective in throwing upon Spain the re- sponsibility of declaring war against ss, if war must come, and of fighting in a cause which no other European government could afford to sustain. There are m'sgiv- ings concerning the consequences of basing ve hostilities by us solely upon the ground of the explosion of the Maine. Of rse, if the finding of our bocrd of in- » effect that the primary ex- of a mine fixed in Havana prior to the entrance of the Maine, ald or should prevent a declara- tion of war by the United States, for war Peace, Weyler, the f so-called au sincere, om was t nothi: would have begun by the act of Spain.

It is evident that an “era cf good feeling” as intervened in the relations of this a ble prot especially ose maintenar lke ccuntry with Great Britain and Japan. Those nations are in a decidedly friendly attitude toward the United States. The former has give for us in this ¢! the blood many tokens of regard is of ours that involves ibility of war. The natural ties of a common speech are asserting themselves. Both Great Britain and Japan, o. course, are far-sighted. They see that the United States can wield a powerful in- ce in their bc if in the event of their eming involved in complications over ever-perplexing situation in the far a y be no likelihood of Amer- -rvention in such a climax, but our would be of the utmost im- > to both nations in any such em- t as a conflict with the allied ow encroaching upon China and ng the cemmercial prestige of and the national development of England Japan Each of these nations has been suspected of be envious of the United States for vortunity to secure possession of Ha- Ja former maneuvering to ~ the “manifest destiny” of the two publics is well knewn. England's senti- ments are fairly well understood. But in the light of the late developments each of these governmeats has come forward with distinct disavowals of any intent to secure pcssession of the valuable group in the Pa- cific, coupling these disclaimers with ex- pressions of extreme friendliness for the United States. Yesterday in the house of commons Mr. Curzon, for the foreign of- fice, in answer to an interpellation, said that there was no truth in the statemen: that England had plotted or was to secure the absorption of the Hawaiian sovreignty. : There is no question of the sympathy of Great Britain for the United States in this Cuban business. Expressions of praise for the course pursued py this governmen: and of hope that it will succeed in bring- ing peace and health to the miserabie isl- and are to be noted cn every han'f from British sources. Suggestions of sympathy wali case 1s more | of a similar sort have been heard from Japan and thus,the United States stands approved in its position by these two na- tions that ure most directly converned in at least one and to some extent more of the projects of international consequence in which this country is now interested. Thess projects are, first, the annexation of Hawaii; second the settlement of the Cu- ban war on an honorable basis; third the ecmpletion of the Nicaraguan canal under semi-governmental auspices. Beyond these there is nothing in sight that will take the United States beyond her own boundaries for many years to come. They comprise practically every item of our foreign pol- icy as it is at present outlined. In view of all the circumstances, there- fore, the time is propitious for the accom- plshment of these three worthy objects. Hawaii is anxious for annexation and the vetes aro at hard in the American Con- gress for the approval of the joint. resoiu- tion providing for that consummation. The time for Cuban intervention on such grounds that no word of protest can righ!- ecusly be spoken from “Europe outside of Spain is clearly at hard. The official re- pert of the expert commission to deter- mine the practicability of completing the araguan canal will soon be presented and oa it the government will be author- ized to act. The three projects are closely allied in their possibilities of development. Will the United States neglect this oppor- tunity to take advantage of the spirit of friendliness on the part of two of the wcrld’s most influential nations, the one in the east and the other in Europe, in order to aecomptish at a minimum of embarrass- ment all that is outlimed for it for many years to come? The opportunity is golden. Se Adopting Spanish Subjects. Yesterday ble from Havana brought the following: La Discussion today criticises the edi- toriat of La Lucha referring contemp- tuously to the charitable work of Amer- icans in the island, and says that the edi- terial inspired by hatred of the Cuban hom La Lucha has derived a “The editor of La 000 victims of starvation, and would not care if there were as He is ignorant of the great char’ tained by the United States, and also of the gifts of supplies from the United States to other countries than Cuba in time of The editor of La Discussion adopts the same tone with regard to the American re- lief for the reconcentrados that Senor de Lome did at the time the measure was first proposed. Senor de Lome, it will be re- ered, at once explained that Spain could with entire propriety receive this for the Cuban: had accepted similar e at the hands of the Uniled States when their peyple were in distress. But ti entirely misstates the case. There is no likeness whatever between the cause of the di in R and Ireland which ihe people of the United States so promptly assisted in relieving and ~ the cause of the distress in Cuba to which they n ‘The distress in Rus- nd Ireland was caused by a failure of crops.

The people of the United e of their bounty liberally, as, if placed in similar circumstances, they would would not hesitate to accept of the bounty of othe But in Cuba the case is not only entirely different, but is in every way most extra- ordinary. There the distress of the people po is the act of the government. It was de- liverately plan! part of the policy to bring the insurgents under, to starve those of the native population who were in- capable of bearing arms. Their homes were destroyed, their cattle confiscated and they themselves penned up to die. Nature had no hand in the work at all. It was the work of the Spanish government wholly. General Weyler’s infamous order was ap- proved at Madrid, and every necessary Spanish agency in the island was employed in executing it. In accepting American assistance for the Cuban people, therefore, Spain, however much she may try to disguise the fact, virtually accepts a rebuke of her own bar- barity. Every morsel put by the American people into the mouths of Spain's, starving subjects is an indictment at the bar of hu- manity of the Spanish policy which ‘has made that ance nece ry. And in the very nature of the case this must be taken into account now that the crisis is at hand. The policy of the United States now to be to ve as many of the reconcentrados as possible. The govern- ment will in effect adopt those unhappy people. raise th If it may do that, may it not also its voice about Cuba's future? Are of Spain's policy to be cared nm be allowed to proceed with that policy? all the United States simply undertake Spain's hospital service, le: Spain free to go on with her drawn sword and unextinguished torch, adding to the agony of the people and the waste of the land? ——_+ +2 —___ A Wise Action. The action of the Commissioners in re- scinding the regulation requiring private vehieles of all sorts to carry lights after dark was amply justified by the showing made to them at yesterday's hearing on the subject. It was then demonstrated to a sufficient extent that there was no neces- sity for such a regulation, that its enforce- ment would impose annoying angl even se- ricus burdens upon some owners and users of vehicles, and that its relinquishment weuld involve the community in no dan- gers whatever. In view of this state of the case the abandonment of the rule was logical and commendable. —————»re—___ With reference to legislation to restrict immigration, the question is véry perti- nently offered, “where would we be if the American Indians had carried these ideas into effect?” It 1s worth noting that while there might have been some disadvantages to the Caucasians the American Indians would undoubtedly have been a great deal better 0! ~~ ¢ Senator Mason evidentiy has no fears of being so consistently humorous that it may be his fate to arouse laughter some time when he desires to be really serious. | +2 —_____ Mr. Platt and Mr. Croker are both wait- ing to see whether competition becomes lively erough to make [t worth while to form a vote trust. . ——— +30 —__ If Spain is really so very friendly to this country and so much in need of money, it migh: sell Uncle Sam a few warships. ——_+ +e _____ Spain’s failure to recognize the obvious belligerency of the Cubans has for a long time been very ostrich-like. The Inadequate Police Force. It appears from disclosures made by the chief of police to a complainant, according to a ietter printed in yesterday’s Star, that in the entire area of city and suburban rroperty bounded on the north by Benning road and Florida avenue, dn the west by first street cast, on the south by Hast Cap- iiol street and on the east by the branch there are never more than ten policemen on duty in daylight hours nor more than eight- een at night. This area includes, on a rough estimate, about two and a half square miles. It contains many thousands of people and, what is more menacing, many inhabited alleys and stretches of common where policing is exceptionally es- sential. The expanse is both too great and tco important to be given over to the rela- THE EVENING STA tively small force available for protection. ‘The case, which is only a saniple of others in yarious sections, comes to notice in good season, for it may bé possible so to direct congressional attention to this wide dis- crepancy between the possibilities and the needs of the police department that the District. bill may be so changed in con- ference as to raise the force to an adequate number. In view of the smallness of the force the chief of police is obliged to con- fess his inability to guarantee to the dwell- ers in this rapidty growing section that de- gree of peace and immunity from gross nuisances that should be afforied to every citizen. : 2 With reference to Cuba, Spain has suc- ceeded in making days of grace amount to a great deal more than the original time.

Four years ago Governor Pingree, then yor, conceived the idea of making use e’ vacant lots in and around Detroit for trucking purposes, by the unemployed poor. As a result 950 families produced $18,000 worth of vegetables, at an expense of only $500. from about 425 acres of land. This practical demonstration at once made sree potato patch” idea popular, applied here last year. The op- were on a small scale, for only erations about twenty-five acres of ground were s cured, but the majority of the 100 families who worked this land last year reported that they raised enough vegetables to sup- ply them through the winter. This year the committee have secured double the former acreage, Which means that 200 families will be given an opportunity 10 do much to- ward carning ‘tneir own subsistence and ceriainiy retain their self-respect. or The Balloon vs. the Ironclad. Frem Lesite’s Weekly. The use’of the balloon in warfare will be one uf the developments of the near future. A first-class modern ironclad costs about $5,000,000. This would construct and equip for war purposes a great many bal- loons, and it would seom as if they might be used by the inhabitants of a besieged city with which to sail over an invading fieet and drop explosives upon the war- ships underneath, with deadly effect. They might also be utilized to drop these ex- posives over the cities occupied by an op- ponent. Of course, there would be con- siderable risk in such an enterprise, un- less the balloons could be properly steered, but the dirigible balloon is one of the in- ventions that we may expect to see in the near future. + « & —_____ A New Office. From the Cleveland Leader. A novel plan for elevating Georgia mor- als has been formulated by a well-known citizen of Atlanta. Just the like of it was probably never before conceived. He pro- poses that each county shall decide by vote on January 1 of each year, who the worst man in the county is, and that the man re- ceiving the highest number of votes shail, on the ensuing February 1 be hanged. It is claimed for the plan that it would induce bac Men to emigrate and that the “compli- mentary vote” received by those who had just begun to be bad, but were not gener- ally recognized as such, would tend to cre- ate a desire within them tq be enrolled among the well behaved. Clothesline Delicacy. From the London Chronicie. The delicacy of the lady who draped the legs of her piano in’muslin would have ap- pealed to the local authorities of the Dutch village of Diuxverloo. Being persuaded that the exhibition of underclothing hang- ing out.to dry in the open must have a de- moralizing effect upon those of either sex who see it, they have decreed, on pain of a heavy fine for the first offense and impris- onment for the second, that these articles of apparel should in future be dried else- where than near the public road or rall- way. a OS It Would Be Formidable.
