Worthy of Confidence. The defamatory gcssip, alleging weak- ness and vacillation in the President's Views concerning the Cuban problem, has never gained credence with any respectable fractior of the American people. It is true that he has exhausted every possible means ecnsistent with national self-respect to ob- tain a peaceful settlement of the contre- versy, and the republic thoroughly indorses and approves his labors in that direction and the wise and Christian policy upon which they were based. But whether Peace or war was to result the people ex- Pressed their confidence in the firmness and wisdom of the executive. Congress appropriated $50,000,000 for na- tional defense without a dissenting vote. Since that time the army and navy have been working night and day to prepare for any emergency. When that appropriation was made ail the people irrespective of party, creeds and nationality joined har- montously in the action. It was for na- tional honor. The President in the mean- time was using every effort with Spain to bring about peace and a proper recognition of the insurgents. He was led to believe that success was to crown his efforts. It turns out that Spain was deceiving us to gain time and his efforts have failed. Having taken our position, and that posi- tion a just one, there is no possibility of a withdrawal from it. The Star ts convinced that in his message soon to be submitted to Congress the Presi- dent will meet the Cuban emergency as completely and as satisfactorily as the others which have confronted him in his official career, and that the policy which he will announce will in its vigorous Ameri- canism voice the sentiments and receive the hearty approval of the people of the republic. —__ + +e —____ Zola Triumphant. M. Zela’s ultimate victory over th> in- Justice of the lower courts is complete, and it remains to be seen whether the French government will have learned th2 plain les- son that was taught by the indignant out- cries of ail the world save France as a re- sult of the first trial. The judgment of the stperior court, setting aside the verdict against th> novelist follows, in general, the lines of justice laid down in this country. It is, of course, not known with certainty whether ihe revocation of the sentence was government or not, but ii is ly possible, i: the light of the original proc-edings, that ministerial influences may have intervened to suggest to the members of the nigher tribunal that a remission of the sentence on some plea or other would be a strcke of policy. If th: lower court could be bent and swayed by political and military influences it is fair to assume that the upper court, open in a degree to those same influences, might obey the wiil of th> powers. The world outside of France cares nothing for the technical reasons given for Zola’s victory now over his accusers. He still stands, in the lignt of those reasons, as am2nable to punishment if tried in the formal manner prescribed by the superior bench. But it seems to be accepted that he will never be tried, unless the present r2- acticn, of which the amendatory judgment is only too plain a symbol, exnausts itself end he again invites cfficial wrath by his publications. Zola’s temperament is not such as would lead to the belief ihat he will desist from his effort to secure the re-trial of Dreyfus. He has never desisted from his endeavor to become one of the “Im- mortals a veritable bull-dog in his plans and undertakings. Relieved now from the strain of the effort to secure his own Tele from pgison, he may be expected to renew his attacks upon the military au- thoritiss who accused him before. in the light of the appellate de rendered it is reasora = of the entire i tually the foundation of the Zola case. | Jf the reaction should last long enough Zola jay be a popular hero in a month and the , mobs that a few weeks ago shouted for his disgrace may be equally eager for his praise. jon just ble to look for a re- Dreyfus c: ———»+es—___ American Marksmanship. In gun practice Saturday the battle ship Indiana did some fine work that ought to be exploited as far as possible in Spain. ‘Two shots from her 13-inch guns were pui | through the same hole in one target. These (open sea targets for great gun practice }are small squares or triangles of canvas and toss about on the waves in the most perplexing manner. The ship is a restless firing base and accurate marksmanship un- der such circumstances is indicative of the highest training in the judgment of dis- tances and the acceptance of opportunities. in the war of ISI2 the American gunners did some admirable work. American gun- nery has always been held in high esteem by other nations and Saturday's perform- ance by the men of the Indiana may bé taken as evidence that the American eye is as clear as ever and that the lanyards are pulled with the same deadly precision @s early in the century. + eo—_—___ ‘There is no deaying the shrewdness of Spanish diplomacy.

If this Congress appears to be fervent and heated in the matter of Cuba, does it differ in that respect from its predecessor? Take the record of the Fifty-fourth Con- gress. Both the Senate and House took advanced ground in favor of the Cuban cause. The House, particularly, was most aggressive. No more stirring scene was ever witnessed in the popular branch of Congress than when Mr. Hitt, then, as now, .chairman of the committee on foreign af- fairs, reported a resolution recognizing the belligerency of the insurgents, and advo- cated its passage in one of the most impas- sioned speeches he ever delivered. Mr. | Reed, then, as now, the Speaker of the House, presided, and as chairman of the ; committee on rules had assisted in making _way for the introduction of the resolution. Republicans and democrats alike spoke and ! country. Moreover, both national conven- tions of that year incorporated a plank friendly to Cuba into their platform. Since then there has been no dimuni- tton of the spirit or capacity of the insur- gents. And they are still fighting for inde- pen@ence. So that upon the score of senti- ment alone this Congress could afford to take the same stand that the last one did. But Weylerism, with all of the hor- Tors it has produced, is also now to be con- sidered. And the destruction of the Maine, in circumstances fixing the responsi-slity on Spain, is an item of great moment. When everything is considered, indeed; the cause for which the Cuban people are fighting, the sufferings they have under- gone, the interest the American people are entitled to take in them and their affairs, the course of Spain toward this government during the past twelve months; the im- patience of Congress to aid in bringing matters to a crisis has been entirely natu- ral. Nevertheless the restraint which Con- gress itself has placed upon this impatience in the desire that the executive and legis- lative branches should act as a unit in the matter is commendable upon the highest grounds of public policy. If the President could have secured through peaceful means that” upon which all America had deter- mined in respect to Cuba every American would call him blessed. His determined effort to secure this result has received the popular indorsement. If diplomatic nego- tiations are now at an end, as they seem to be, the time for this government witb the executive and legislative branches in harmonious co-operation to take another course is to be determined solely by consid- eration of the date and method of action most advantageous for the interests of the republic. The President and Congress can be relied upon to reach a wise decision upon this point. The period of reasonable and safe deliberation, not disadvantageous to the United States, is enlarged by the de- tention of the Spanish torpedo flotilla on the other side of the Atlantic. > = The Dangerous Contact System. ‘The killing of a horse by the electric cur- rent used by the Capital railway in its urban operations Saturday conclusively shows that the original decision of the Commissioners in this connection was en- tirely justifiable. This is the first case of a fatal result from the current. The horse was not killed directly but the current, but was so seriously shocked that death was but a question of time and humane consid- erations prompted the sending of a dis- patching shot into his head. Other horses have been shocked and to avoid this result watchmen are supposed to test the contact boxes after the passage of each car. It will be recalled that since the Commissicn- cts formally disapproved of the system an extension was secured and the company is ow working under a permit to correct cer- tain faults in the contact points. No work has been done yet on the tracks here and the permit runs on for about five weeks. it remains to be seen whether the amenda- tory efforts will remove the objectionable features of the system, which are shown by turday’s accident to be beyond toler- ance. The genera! desire of the authori- ties and the people is for an extension of the conduit system throughout the city in order to harmonize the rapid transit pro- cesses in use as far as possible. The device under consideration is plainly an experi- ment and it must be demonstrated to be absolutely reliable in order to secure a favorable report from and acceptance by the Commissioners, who have notified the company using it that if after the recon- struction work now in preparation the eperation shows that there is the least degrze of electrification in the contact box- es the order will be given at once to remove the experimental track and to substitute the conduit system, which was intended by Congress to be used. The true value of the accident of Saturday is in showing that the Commissioners were right when they re- jected the system as it stands and likewise right in demanding the production of a ically perfect substitute in the future. aile it may not be true that the current that fatally shocked the horse Saturday would have killed a human being in the Same circumstances, owing to the greater receptivity of the horse on account of his metal shoes, yet it is plain that there is grave danger in any possibility that horses may be shocked and so started into running away. — 2+ _____. A Chance for the Telephone Company. A Pennsylvania judge recently rendered a decision of interest to telephone users that may profitably be noted at this local juncture, when the question ef tele- phonic espionage is prcminent in the pend- ing controversy over rates. This judge held that a telephcne message cannot be made the basis cf a “knowledge and belief” afi.davit in a Suit. There have been other court decisions atong the line taken here, ou the gr-und that the identity of the per-- son telephoning is not thoroughly estab- lished as in the case of a face-to-face en- ccunter. It has teen held that the identity of the parties to such a conversation shoul be proved beyord a reasonable doubt whenever the words used may become the basis for or testimony in a suit at law. According to the local experience it should not be difficult to prove identity or to prove the words used, by the testimony of a third party. The theoretical telephonic conversation is mechanically limited to two personas, but it is notorious that a third person may listen to the words of both speakers. Indeed it is admitted by the locak company that this practice is in vegue, for the ostensible and in some cases genuine reason that the company desire. to check what it terms the “improper” use of the seryice. It is assumed in this con- nection that the so-called “monitors” at central are trained in the identifieation cf the voices of those who are entitled under the regulations of the company to use the ‘phone and it should not be difficult to es- tablish under sich a system a method whereby the telephone company could, for a stated charge, supply the identifications required by the law whenever telephoni: ecnversations resulted in law suits. This suggestion is advanced in the hope that its adoption may result in such a revenue to the company. from this collateral source that the threatered reduction of the rates will not bring hardship to the unfortunate stockholders, This country would be glad to be provided by Spain with a map and a time table that would give reliable information about the movements of the torpedo flotilla. The administration welcomes a revival of ecnfidence in business, but in war agita- tion fs fuily alive to the danger of inviting over confidence. Congress is not manifesting a disposition to dodge any res_onsibilities for war which may be thrown upon it. * Spain’s Counterfeit Sensitiveness. In a Madrid special to the London Stand- ard Senor Sagasta is quoted as follows: This has ‘been apparent all along, and as much so.under the regime of Senor Canovas as, since, under that of Senor Sagasta. Spain's sensitiveness on the subject of Cuba is a counterfeit feeling. She has confessed in several ways to her inability to meet the emergency in the island, and to an entire willingness to accept aid from this government in her effort to reassert control over her colony. It is only when the United States proposes a policy in favor of the insurgents that Spain stiffens her back, and, rising to her full height, de- clines all interference with her private af- fairs. There has never been a day since the ‘present administratjon assumed power that the good offices of this government could have been secured toward persuading the insurgents to put their trust in Spanish promises about reforms or anything else, and they cannot be so secured now. That is distinctly a question not for the United States to decide or to assist in deciding. It is of vital concern to the insurgents, and their decision has- been rendered. The Spanish overtures have been rejected, and on two grounds: (1) Their insincerity, and (2) their insufficiency. The insurgents de- clare that tndependence, and independence only, will satisfy them. The United States is bound by every con- sideration of right and justice to guide by this chart. It holds to the right of jnter- vention, and in exercising that right it must intervene on the side of its sympathies and interests. It desires permanent peace for Cuba, and that may be obtained only by the bringing of Spanish rule in the island to an end. The insurgents declare that, and from. their decision tne United States cannot ap- peal, and is not disposed to appeal. Spain has confessed maladministration in Cuba by promising all sorts of reforms, and has admitted her inability to put down the war by inviting the United States to inter- vene on her side. _.er real duty, to herself, to Cuba, to the United States, and to all humanity, is to haul down her flag and re- tire from the island. a hi —I5 patterns in all, making up an as- sorted lot of rockers that sold as high as $6.
