THE EVENING STAR hi and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertisins Medium it has no eempetitor. . ..-Edltor. order to count of person: THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connect-d with the @ffice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Busingss Depart- FOF purpose, The Sounding of the Long Roll. ‘That the United States has a clear pur- pose in view with regard to Cuba and in- tends to execute it with all the power at its command is made known now to al! tie world. Congress rises heroically to the emergency. The House made its record in “the short space of two hours. The Senute will follow with what, for It, will bear equally prompt dispesition of the case. But this is not haste. This is not rush- ing wildiy into action. This is no reck- less leap regardless of consequences taken by men in a passion. Was ever, indeed, 30 momentous a step taken with more careful consideration for duty and right? We have been approaching it for two yeers. We have examined matters in all of their rela- tions. We have reproached ourselves at times for a too great patience. The time simply has come for action, and what has been long contemplated is done with right- ful vigor and decision. We ail stand together. Party differences may show in some of the minor manevver- ing, but they will not show in any vital part of the program. The same spirit which brought all parties together in vot- ing the first war credit will continue to animate them. The first shot fred will raise that spirit even higher—make it even stronger. The clash of battle will serve but the more forcibly to remind the coun- try of its unity and its high purpose—ot how necessary the preservation of the one is for the accomplishment of the other. And standing together; with one object in view, and that an unselfish one; with our performances squaring exactly with our professions; the champions of liherty and humanity, if ever men stood forth in that capacity on the earth; striving to do unto the Cubans what we would have the Cu- bans do uhto us, and what actually was done unto us by sympathetic France in the days of our own early struggles, we shail move steadily forward upon the dei ately selected national path. —___ +e —___ ‘The Lesson of Municipal Art. One of the best features of the general awakening of interest in municipal affairs im this courtry among men of activity in business and professional lines is the wide- spread realization what more attention ts due to the artistic side of community life. One evidente of this phase of the case is presented in tae form of a “municipal art number of -the publication “Municipal * issued by the Reform Club of New This publication is calculated to arouse a high degree of interest in the ar- * of public enterprise. A list of "rs shows the range of the con- ‘These articles are: “Public Art in n Cities, “Popular Art in Belgium,” City’s Pian," ‘Clvic Architecture From Its Constguctive Sid “Municipal Sculpture.” “Mural Painting,” Civic Treat- ment of Color,” together with a number of notes in the same vein of investigation and suggestion. Local interest centers fust at present in such matters as that which is treated fn the article on “The City's Plan.” by Julius F. Harder, which fs a study of thé various possibilities in the treatment of urban and semi-urban space im the development and extension of a city’s area. Mr. Harder says of this city: “If cities chould be planned first and in- duced to grow accordingly there would not be so much of contrary depravity in their make-up. Intention does not precede growth; they grow first and the rational order of creation is reversed. Washington, the exception which proves the rule, has a n.ost excellent plan, but here is the solitary eese where intention went before result. ‘The moment that the new seat of govern- irent was lccated the future city could be reasonably apprehended and lines deter- mired fer its economical development. Here was a new ration requiring a new ital. Its founders went about the plan- of the future city with the same in- spired c! ess of vision with which they planned the nation, forged its policies and fought its battles.”” Mr. Harder, however, seems to have con- sidered Washington as having been con- fired in its development to the strictly Jogical lines of its origipal plan. He has bot taken into account the later growth cutward, necessitating new adjustments and giving rise, because of a failure of thoge adjustments in certain parts, to a most embarrassing condition with regard present and the future. Later in © course of his article he says: nls no serious obstacles; e present cenditions are for- tunate and similar to those which evoived the plan of Washington. the brilliant re- sults of which should be profitably emu- lated in New York's environs.” ‘There should never have been any diffi- culty here. The present should be as free frcem embarrassment as Mr. Harder con- ceives it to be. But unhappily the fine op- portunity afforded by the city's original plan was neglected and our legislature per- mitted the original city to be girdled by a bend of inharnon‘ous sub*ivisicns, whi-h the community is now making a desperate effort to correct ir a manner which will work no injustice. + oe —___ The enthusiasm over Captain Sigsbee and Consul General Lee, great as it was, did not exhaust the resources of the public for ap- Preciating the heroism that must b2 shown before the present crisis is passed. ——_+-e+____ Independent Cuba. The speech delivered by Mr. Foraker in the Senate yesterday was a valuable con- tribution to the whole Cuban subject. It was strong in reasoning power, unusually full in the way of facts and admirable in Peint of arrangement. It was, upon the waole, indeed, in maiter no less than in the ctarm of its oratorical investiture, an al- together striking performance. The Senate fas a new orator and dcbate:, tty well be proud. _ Mr. Foraker favors the immediate recog- nition of the present Cuban government. But it is rot necessary to agree with him on that point to be able to testify to the excellence of his effort. Those who do agree with him could not well ask or expect an abler presentation of their case. He has summarized the performances of that goy- ermment in very effective style, and his tribute—spoken after investigation and upon eonviction—to the men who organized and ave been conducting it presents them in em attractive light to the people of this country. The Star’s Cuban correspondence from the time when Mr.° Mannix visited end described the Cuba espital, Cubitas, and the personnel of the insurgent govern- ment has done full fuStice to the charac- ter and motives of the revolutionary Iead- rs, and has demonstrated that Mr. For- «ker's characterization of them 1s well _ founded. : With men of that stamp on deck in Cuba; with records of so much service and sacri- fice .o their credit, it will not be difficult to e.anlish a “stable government” for the island “capable of fulfilling its internation- o April 14, 1808.) al obligations.” They will be there to as- sist even if an entirely new nization of affairs is to foliow the expulsién of Spain. Men of such love of liberty, such capacity for affairs, such knowledge of the needs of Cuba and such longing to see her take her rightful place among the independent gov- ernmenis of the world will, in the very na- ture of things, play an important part in shaping her destiny once the Spanish yoke if thrown off. Immediate recognition by Congress of the insurgent government ag displaying the characteristics of an independent nation would be the legislative exercise of an ex- ecutive power in a manner displeasing to the President. The Senate resolutions re- frain from recognition of the insurgent gov- ernment, but do f€cognize that the people of Cuba are free and independent. If they are free, how “have they become so? Through the insurgent armies now in the field: The Senate recognition is of a vic- torious army, wresting freedom from Spain, which has net yet established in the clash of arms a full-fledged government, equipped with all the paraphernalia characteristic of a nation. There is no reflection upon the Cuban patriots in refraining at this~time from recognizing the independence of their |’ government. There would be a gratuitous reflection upon the President in taking this action. Without legislation the President can at any moment as a war measur2 or for any other reason tender this formal rec- cognition. The prospect is bright for Cuba, both without and within. The United States will stand between her and any foreign foe, and there are those within her borders, as Mr. Foraker has shown, capable not only of organizing and conducting good govern- ment, but of making the noblest sacrifices for their country. > 2 The Responsibility Fixed. There is ground for substantial gratifica- tion in the manner in which the Senate cemmittee on foreign relations treated the Main> disaster in its masterly report, sub- mitted and published yesterday. That re- port, whether viewed from the literary or political stand-point, must be regarded as one of the most notable state papers ev2r recorded in-the history of ,tais republic. The verdict of the committee in the case of the Maine is unmistakable. Th2re is no uncertain sound in, its. utterances, which point squarely to Spain as the responsible or at least the accountable agency of the disaster. The reasoning along this line is clear and irrsfutable. The committee wise- iy disregards a!] reference tovthe individual person whose direct act caused the explo- sion beneath the hull of the vessel. It shows that ther? is in such a case, as in all mysterious and plotted crimes, a serious difficulty in ascertaining by conclusive prooz the personal agent of the action. But there is no such difficulty in ascertaining the ofll- cial and responsible cause. The result of all th: facts and logical surmises to which the committee had ac- cess is that “the destruction of the Maine was compassed either by the official act of the Spanish authorities or was made pos- sible by a neglig>nce on thefr part so will- ing and gross as to be equivalent in culpa- bility to positive criminal action.” There is no avoidance of the ferc: and justice of this conclusion. It is established by a chain of reasoning so strong that not even Span- ish proceedings in so-called investigation can weaken it. The mooring of the Maine over a certain spot in the harbor, th2 ex- cited state of public feeling against the snip, the utter lack of any form of protec- tion or precaution against demonstration and violenee—and this in a city where the system of polic> and military espionage has been developed to an unprecedented ex- tent—these facts are plainly established and not denied. It is likewise shown that the enly avaliable means of producing the et- fect palpably revealed by the wreck to have been produced on the Maine are such as p2rtain solely to governmental enterprises, and are used by governments only under such conditions that access to them in Ha- vana could have been possible only by vir- tue of gross carelessness or culpable con- nivance. The committee rejects with good reason the findings of the Spanish court, which are not to be compar:d for a moment with taose of the American court of 4nquiry, having lacked the slightest clement of thor- oughness and efficiency. Thus the Senate committe does not take into +ven brief con- sideration the possibility that the Maine was destroyed by an interior explosion. It very properly regards the fact of an ex- terior csuse as too firmly established to admit of the slightest question. The Senate committee had acc and surmises that could not well have been utilized by the naval court. The latter body was bound by certain estabiished Precedents of procedure and could not ieave the beaten track of investigation prescribed by the r-gulations and customs of the na’ The function of the naval court ended when it ascertained that the vessel was destroyed by an exterior explosion. Thus the committe: took up ine work where the court was forced to leave it and its report must be considered as the Amer- ican verdict, trom which there is so-far as we are conceriied no appeal. The Congressional Record has long been recognized us a typical specimen of unpro- gtessive Journalism. But it is duupttul whether in its enure career it ever suifered sy severe a “Scoop’ as it did this morning when it dismissed the opportunity to write an up-to-date description of combat with the casua! remark: “Ai this point a per- sonal colloquy occurred between several members, the remarks not being addressed to the chair, amid great confusion to quell which the Speaker directed the sergeant- at-arms to proceed with the mace and re- quire members to take their seats.” ———__ + «= —_—_—_ Mr. Bryan's managers lose no opportu- nity to convey the impression that he would be almost as great a man as ‘Thomas Jefterson if he were given haif 4 chance. +--+» The Spaniards who declare ‘*hemseives pleased with the President's message may be merely trying to stir up American re- sentiment against the administration. += —____ War prospects and weather prophets may derive much valuable inspiration from thy old saw, “keeping persistently at it brings success.” ————+ ee —_ Perhaps the Reichsrath can arrange to have some Austrian humorist come cver and write up the House of Represvuntatives.

Jefferson's services to the republic were beyond estimation. His words, his-writings, his actual work in management and administration, his sound advice and coolness in time of trouble, all comtributed directly and powerfully to cre- ate and establish the great nation that has never forgotten the duty of remembering the men who laid its foundations. Jeffer- son’s character was such as to command respect and confidence> His abilities were beyon@ question. His conceptions of the duties of the citizen to the state and of the state to the citizen were clear and whole- sonie. He stood for good government, hon- est government, strong government. His for. by his countrymen, especially at such a time as the present, when the nation is aboutgo engage in a struggle for the per- petuation and spreid of the principles for which Jefferson stood so prominently and Stently. The lessons of Bis life should ferve now to animate every Americari citi- n to face unflinchingly the duty of the jour and to serve his country in the same spirit as did the third President whenever the occasion demanded his services. —__—__ + = The declaration that some religion would net kurt Pengsylvania politics is undoubt- edly true.

America reminds Bismarck of “a mighty, hatghty, overgrown giant, snorting with aixtety to expend on the world at large his untimited physical power.” But it is his opinion that its people lack politeness and Rave much to learn from Europe on that score. He thinks them too coarse in their expressions cf ill-will, but still likes their rudeness better than the false, hypocritical svavity in which the Spaniards are so adept. But the great chancellor is much at fault in imagining that as a nation we lack politeness. We, of course, have our share of blackguards, in and out of public life, as other couniries have, some native and some imported, but they are not num- erous or flagrant enough to set a national stamp on dur manners. Washington, to take an historic instance, was quite cs polite as Frederick the Great or Bismarck himself, and President McKinley's cour- tery, official and personal, would moult no feather in comparison with that ef William li. “Though we say it as shouldn't,” we ere quite as good-mannered as our neigh- bers. Bismarck mistakes the plug-ugly for the general type of patriot current here, and in this does not display his old- t.me perspicacity. + The Consular Reports. From the Kansas City Siar. In the regular line of their duty, our con- suls have reported what has been going on in Cuba for the last three years and the effect produced on American interests Ly these events. They have not been partisans either of Spanish rule or the insurrection. They have testified as the business agents of the United States. The attention of Americans is now directed to these reports. They show what has been told by all the rest, that Spain has.converted Cuba into a hell on earth and cannot, if she would, put out the flames. This inferno happens to be at our own doors. The consuls do not sug- gest what we should do about it. They only give a perfectly straightforward ac- count of the situation. —_~es—____—_ Something More Than Logic Needed. From the Buffalo } 3. M. Hanotaux, the French minister of foreign affairs, says he cunnot conceive that war between the United States and Spain would bring any results that could not be reach- ed in the-near future by the force of events and the logic of facts. This may be true. But there are one or two matters that must be settled now. Spain must leave Cuba and the Maine disaster must _ be atoned fer. —_+ ee —___—_ China’s Generosity.
