General Miles is having reminders of old times in the lectures and suggestions that are being fired at him on the subject of the invasion of Cuba. He must remember how General Gient ceught it at the time of tie Wicksburg campaign, and again in the halt before Petersburg. Both of those maneu- vers were much too slow to suit the more impatient of the civillan observers through- out the north, who insisted that the proper thing to do was to rush in and finish the enemy. What could he be waiting for? ‘The enemy was at hand. He had a large ferce, and could secure a larger for the asking. But General Grant took his time, and turned the tricks. He knew the con- ditions far better than his critics. Somethmg like this is being heard now. There lies Cuba. The enemy ts on the island, and awaits battle. General Miles has a large force at his command, and for the asking can have it augmented any day. Why the delay? Why does he not move amd begin tae mareh to Havana? But if ne were to move tomorrow the clamor from this source would not cease. It would tien be insisted that no hait should take place on Cuban soil. He would be urged to go right on and.crush General Blanco immediately. Any stop for prepa- rations of any kind, or for strengthening lines or staoothing the way, would be de- tence of incompetency. He y reminded that the coun- try expected him to fight and not simply Maneuver his men in the presence of the enemy The country, as General Miles well un- derstan wants as early action as is cons! « with the common sense of the situation. No person who really desires American su ulvocates the landing of sciplined and a half-equipped force An invading army should al- ways be as strong as possible, both in point of numbers and in training. It takes hot and hard work to dislodge men who are familfar with the ground and are well in- trenched, and it is especially important that there be no bloody repulse at the out- ‘Set. The war is only a month old, and a great deal in the way of preparation for land fighting kas been done in that time. Much s to be done, but it fs being hurried as fast as is consistent with its very great importance. —__- +2 —____ The Question of Greenbacks. Judge Lin of Kentucky has made an important contribution to the debate In the Benate on the war revenue bili. His speech delivered yesterday is full of matter per- timent to the questioms at issue, and 1s praiseworthy both on the score of sound ipance and patriotism. He points the way with clearness and unanswerabie force as to the duty of Congress at this time in pro- viding for the needs ‘of the government, and draws a most forcible distinction be- tween the policy of merely multiplying the government's promises to pay on demand m the form nbacks and of putting teal money tre, with which gree into the the xovernment et ay its way. The history of the greenbacks is exceed- ingly instructive, as Ju ay shows. The was a asure | There will be no difficulty in supplying the war me ind was opposed by the dem- ocrats of that d S vigorously as the pro jon to i se the amount now out- standing 1 ported by the great major. ity of the democ ¢ day. At that} time the governn vz urd lines for mon: measure was justified on that ground alone. Money plentiful. The government's credit is excellent. Why, therefore, readopt in a time of plenty a poi- icy which starvation conditions originally brought into existe Why not pursue instead the one policy which best accords with the existing situation? ‘The present is not an appropriate time for forcing upon legislation measures which have been rejected by the people at the pels. The verdict of 1896 was clearly against every form of Bryanism. And that verdict should stand until reversed by the Pewer which delivered it. Surely it ought net to be departed from at any point by the Congress then elected, and particularly at this time. The country's credit, at all times of the first importance, is of vital cemcern now; and, as Judge Lindsay felicit- ously asserts, we shoukd not “discredit our- Selves at the very outset by resorting to « cugrency which is in the nature of a forced lean, by issuing notes payable on demand @nd putting no money in the treasury to Pay them upon demand.” War ts expensive, and while war contin- ues the government will need money as the Texan needed his pistol. Any revenue Measure, therefore, which would lack the Power to raise money speedily, abundantly aud incontestably would be worse than a bbander. ——+e—____. bb lively presidential campaign the Philippine Islands would be a good place to waich to ship men who are too prominent te be ignored by their parties, but who are eiways in nger of making indiscreet re- marks. a —~+2—_____ ish idea of “prosecuting a war with the utmost vigor” is to shting as much as possible. toe Pressing Onward Toward the Ideal. The starting of the electric service today Om the Seventh street branch of Capital Traction road brings this city one long step Nearer to the perf>ct system of urban rapid tmansit toward which it has been steadliy progressing for several years. This achievement gives the community improved service on one of th> most important routes imthe District. It completes the main work of transforming the entire Capital Trac- tan sys.>m in the manner necessitated by the fire of last September and by the de- mand for a better method of propulsion than the cable. There now remains in use nly a single cable, that on H street and New York avenue, which giv-s general rat- isfaction to the patrons of the line. It has even been suggested that this line would in turn accept the obvious advantages offersd by the perfection of the underground elec- talc system, particularly since the success of, the Capital Traction company in utiliz- ing the established conduit has shown that this work can be dons at a minimum of ex- Bense. If this betterment should be under- taken and completed the trunk Ines of the District will be on a harmonious basis, an end that has been devoutly desired by the people ahd the authorities for a long time. Meanwhile, however, Congress hesitates in granting the necessary legislative permis- sion to the bankrupt roads still using horses, the Eckington and Belt, to enable thelr new owners to equip with the same underground electric system that Washing- ton has now made famous throughout th> Street railway world. The work contem- Plated in the projected improvements, that ot® supposed to be ready for commencement te its end avoid f as soon as the word is given by Congrass, | strong government, confident of its own POSS SOTVPSVOOO DS will carry out the system to completion, and when finished the city will enjey the great blessing of modern rapid transit de- void 6f objectionable features, traversing practically ev2ry section and neighborhood, | furnishing a cheap, convenient and gener- | ally sufficient service to the people. It is gratifying to note the tendency of tne prin- cipal lines in extending thzir tracks into the populous suburbs to iguore the privilege granted them by the present law to use oa overhead trolley beyond the city limits. Th next undertaking of the Capital Trac- tion company is understood to ve to re- equip the U street line, extending the con- duit system to Rock Creek, or nearly three- quarters of a mile further than is r2quired by the statutes. This has already been | done to a slightly less extent on the Four- teenth street branch and by the Metropoli- tan in pushing its Connecticut av:nue road northward beyond the boundary. It is also contemplated by the latter road in connec- tior with the proposed Mount Pleasant ex- tersion, and it is not too much to hope that in the near future the limit of prohibition of the overh2ad system will be extended nearly a mile beyond the present point at which that objectionable device must under the law be discontinued. —__-+ +2 _____ The Oregon at Jupiter Inlet. The arrival cf the Oregon at Jupiter In- let, Florida, is reassuring and at the same time somewhat surprising. For several days announcements have been made from unofficial sources of the arrival of the Oregon at Key West. Now she had joined Sampsen’s fleet, now she was with Schley, now’ still off Brazil It was all guesswork, pure and simple, based upon the slightest of indications. The only direct official an- nouncement in the case was the positive Statement from the Secretary of the Navy that the Oregen was “safe.” It was rea- sonable to expect that she would not dis- close her presence here, there and else- where along ber route, as a possible tip to some Spanish agency to embarrass her Progress or perhaps bring down upon her a combined force sufficient to destroy her. There was a hint of her at or near Martin- ique, as there had been of her presence at the Barbadoes, but sinc> then there has been nothing whatever tangible about her location or condition or destination. Jupi- ter Inlet is about the last place on this cast at which it might have been expected she would touch. It is located on the east- ern coast of Florida, well up from the tip and about 400 miles by the shortest sea route from Key West. The Oregon's future movements are of course matters for speculetion. She may go from Jupiter Inlet to Key West, or to Norfoik, or per- haps immediately back into the field of action, which she so recently rounded. But whatever she may now do or be ordered to do, she has achieved a remarkable feat of warship navigation. Her voyage from San Francisco was not only quickly run, but it was without mishap, and at the end comes the word to The Star from her that “all are well on board.” ——~>+2e—___ Seventy-Five Thousand More. The secord call for troops, issued today, is not for so large a number as many had expect2d, some estimates placing it as high as 200,000 men. The President now asks for 75,000 additional troops, which will bring the volunteer army up to a total of 200,000, without counting the miscellaneous organizations that have been formed and accepted for special reasons, aggr>gating between 15,000 and 20,000 more. With the regular army at 62,000 and the voluntzer force fully organized and equipped under both calls the entir2 land fofce of the coun- try ready for service will far exceed a quarter of a million, a very respectable body of troops in point of numbers. Doubtiess the second call has been compelizd by the opening up of unexpected conditions in the far east, as a result of Admiral Dewey’s complete victory. The necessity for send- ing thither an army of 20,000’ or perhaps 30,000 has clearly developed. Meanwhile it has become apparent that this rv demands a plan of campaign broadly based and exe- cuted. Evidently the administration do: not propose to make the mistak: of unde estimating the needs of the emergenc: men under this call. In all likelihood the enly trouble attendant upon the forming and equipping of this additional force will be that experienced by the government in previding the materials necessary tu trans- form the troops from bodies of civilians into compact organizations of fighters. It is te be taken for granted that the secend call would not have b2en issued at this time if the means of furnishing all the necessary supplies were not safely at hand. ————_++e—____ The “District Boys.” Now that the volunteers from the na- tonal czpital are fairly well merged in the great army gathcring at Chickamauga‘it is necessary to begin to consider their re- lations to the central organization of which they form an integral part. They have been duly assigred to a brigade, their brigade to a division, and the division to a ccrps. Henceforth it will be well to bear in mind that the District boys, the First D. C. Veiunteers, beloig to the second brigade, first civision, first army corps. This desig- nation may be changed. The regiment, al- reedy noted by military authorities for its excellent equipment and fine appearance, may be chosen for duty in the Philippines. Then the home folks will have to learn the new combination of army symbols to keep track of the gallant Washingtonians. But whatever may be their official enumeration these soldiers will always be known as the “District boys.” E ——_>=____ One industry is in danger of suffering by Admiral Dewey’s acquisition.

There seems to be good ground for de- siting the passage of the bill just favor- ably reported to the House providing for the removal of all political disabilities in- curred by citizens as a result of the civil war. The report submitted to the House by Representative Jenkins, reproduced in part in today’s issue, indicates clearly that the fourteenth amendment contains evi- dences of an intention on the part of the enacting powers to provide for a merely temporary condition that demanded the disbarment from active participation in the affairs of state of those who had been engaged in insurrection. Many signs are at hand that the time has come to wipe away this legislative barrier that stands in the way of a complete reunion of the peoples of the north and the south. The present war with Spain is an opportune and suggestive time for accomplishing this desirable end. It has already created new sentiments of national unity and brother- hood, the sincerity or stability of can not be eae ig folly of serving the legal relics Pottigs civil ts apparent to all who think at all The benefits Pantene ao this act inf & ® power and trustful of all its people, can not readily be calculated. No dangers are to be apprehended. The suggestions of Grant and Blaine were to this effect. They urged this measure as not only politic, but just. Their advice was not heeded when it was given, but it should be remembered and followed now, when the fitting moment for this step is so clearly at hand. —__—_~+ += There are objections to an alliance be- tween Uncle Sam and Britannia on the theory that they are Mkely to be more loving while engaged than they are after marriage. ————— oo The impreasion that the attitude of the German emperor was unfriendly appears to be due to the fact that he had not got= ten himself fully posed. ‘There has been an unprecedented demand for flags recently. Possibly it was patriot- fem that prevented Mr. Joe Leiter from cornering them. EE SHOOTING STARS. Keeping on Top. “Have you heard from the admiral?” in- quired the Spanish official. “Yes. He says he is still keeping on top.” ‘But he hasn’t had any fighting.” “He means ‘of the ocean.’ ” Might Make « Vast Difference. “What is your honest opinion concerning Americans?” inquired the interviewer. “Let me understand,” returned the emi- nent Frenchman. “Are we speaking with reference to the Cuban affair or the exposi- tion in 19007" The Foggy Bottom Statesman, “A king, jes’ ke a po’ man, Is a-gwineter hab regrets Ef he quarrels wif de neighbors *Stid 0° payin’ off ‘is debts.” Imaginative Luxury. “Do you mean to say that nfanager has engaged you for next season at five hun- dred dollars a week?’ id one actor. “That's what he promises.” “But, my dear fellow, that is a fabulous salary!” “No, I wouldn’t call it fabulous. But I’m afraid it’ll turn out to be mythical.” The Advice Habit. “I won't hear the board of strategy abused,” he said emphatically, as he tilted his chair back against the wail. “But, my dear sir—” “1 won't listen to any arguments. ff that board of strategy does no more than stand between the naval officers and the millions of private individuals who are struggling to tell exactly how the war should be run it accomplishes a great and noble use!”* Blame once attached to men who spoke So frequently and at such length. For verbiage is too oft the cloak Of weakness rather than of strength. But since the noise of battle shook The sphere we terant, through and through, And sorrows rose where'er we'd look, Apologies are surely due. Oh, gentle fillbustering sprite, No more your dullness you rehearse. We once regarded you with fright. We now confess things might be worse, So, patriot men of north and south, While chasing Spain and watching France, Make haste to close the cannon’s mouth And give the orators a chance. — 22 __ Need for Annexation. From the New York Tribune. The question of the annexation of Hawail is up once more in Congress. It now takes -th2 form of a joint resolution. It is under- stood that the measure will come up in the House soon, perhaps tomorrow, and that it is practically certain to be adopted. In the Senate it is believed to command a good majority, but it is hinted that for some in- Scrutable reason it may not b2 acted upon at once, but be postponed until the next | session. It is to be hoped this intimation is ill-founded, and that the resolution will be adopted at the earliest possible date. For there is urgent need of the annexation of those islands at once. ‘The general question of the desirability of annexation requires no further discussion. It h been thoroughly debated in all its bearings, and the American peopl? have long since made up their minds concerning it and in favor of annexation. But there are at this moment special reasons for prompt action. We are at war with Spain. We have bezn operating against her in the far east. We have taken possession of her former colonies there, the Philippine Is- lands. We are at this moment sending a large military and naval expedition thither to complete our conquest of the islands and establish a government in them. It is cer- tain that we shall have to send not one, but many expeditions, great and small, to them. In fact, there will henceforth be continual intercommunication between this country and its new domain. If any one fails to see the vast importance and incal- culable value of the Hawaiian Islands to us as a naval station and general half-way house between San Francisco and Manila, he is not“to be regarded as amenable to reasor. But the American people and their representatives do see thos2 things, and, it 1s to be believed, will speedily act upon them. There is no use in talking of this as a War measure which would not be tolerabla in time of peace. It is not so. The annexa- tion of Hawali was earnestly desired long before there was thought of war. It would be desirable to sffeot it now if there were no war. The war has merely served to em- phasize the desirability of doing the thing which was decided upon in time of peace by showing how easily may arise pracisely the need of it which opponents of annexation have been saying would never arise. The thing to do is to annex Hawaii. The time to do it is now. —_~+e—___ On to Hawait, From the New York Sun. When a peaceful nation like ours begins war there is certain to be manifested much public impatience at the slowness with which the measures for national defense are devised and perfected. The body, how- ever, that will deserve the first attention of this feeling until Hawaii locked fast within the union ig neither the War Department, nor the Navy De- partment, nor the administration, but the Congress. It has before it a war measure of the very first importance, a bill to an- nex Hawaii and so to remove the anxieties, the restraints and the disadvantages con- tinuing while the Sandwich Islands are kept out of our control. of the country to strengthen the army and the navy, it behooves Congress to heed the appeals of the President and of the a ES > Q ; BON. ‘MARCHE,’ 314=16- 18 Seventh. 5 .
