Hawai fn the Senate. When the annexation resolution reaches the Senate—it will be well for the friends of the measure to remember that it has not n permitted to pass the House—Mr. of California will come forward as ader of the movement to try to defeat Such at least seems to be the present am.

That tion, for the matter has consideration practically for years. If it is ill-advised legislation untry will be responsible. The coun- try demands the measure. Sentiment is strong for it even in Mr. White's own state. The House is impatient for an op- portunity to vote, and almost two <hirds of the Senate are. Why then should Mr. White put himself thus in such uncompro- mising oppositicn to the wishes of such an overwhelming majority both in Congress and out? And again Mr. White is on the eve of retiring from public life. His term in the Senate will expire next March, and he has announced that he will not stand for re- election. One term in the Senate seems to have satisfied him. He is to return to his law practice. Why then should he concern himself so much about a measure which, important as it is, is but one feature of a policy which will occupy the attention of American statesmen long after he has ceased to be one? As he will not be, even n small part, responsible for the country after another year, why not staad aside now and let the country go its own gait? Iti tly willing to take the responsi- tself.

Seme doubts still surround the nature of the performance of the collier Merrimac, which was sent into Santiago harbor for a purpose, not yet clearly defined, and sunk in the channel. Whether she was delib- erately sent in to be destroyea by her own men, and thus to serve as a blockade in the passageway, or was used to draw the fire of the mines to indicate their location and the extent of their utility, or was de- signed as a pioneer in a rush toward the inner harbor, {t yet remains clear that the act was sucf as to deserve the praise of the world for its daring. The errand of the men of the Merrimac, apparently reduced to the lowest possible number, was a desperate one. Even if they were to scuttle their ship and seck to escape in the darkness thelr chances of safety were extremely narrow. They volunteered, ‘t is reported, for this perilous duty. There was, then, no en lo expose t "3 10 There has never been such entire history of American kings.

If this be the case, it is to be hoped that the District will recetve its share of the time. It sadly needs certain legislation, which is sufficiently advanced to permit ac- tion within a minimum of time unless a disposition to debate immoderately should be disclosed. At least two of the street railway bills require attention. One of these, providing for the extension of the Metropolitan road into the Mount Pleasant region, represents an urgent -necessity for better rapid transit facilities in that rapidly growing section. The other bill, permitting the reorganization and re-equipment of the EXxckington and Belt roads, is perhaps as @ measure as has been before Congress for several sessions. The condi- tfon along these lines is atrociously bad. ‘The lines are today a disgrace to the capi- move, tal elty. They afford a mere shadow of convenience to the people, who are in sume cases actually suffering for relief. These two railroad bills can be passed, with due diligence, in a portion of one afternoon. But more vitally needful than these bills is the act amending the highway extension law which is now pending, having been favorably reported from the District com- mittee as a substitute for the bill that re- cently passed the House. The Star dis- cussed the relative merits of these two propositions yesterday and it remains now merely to indicate the urgent need of action at the earliest opportunity. The issues are well defined, the situation is generally un- derstood, and, although the subject is somewhat complex and may Involve many counter-considerations, yet there should be no difficulty in obtaining action by the Sen- ate and later in reaching an agreement in conference. In view of the vast values de- pendent upon the decision of this question, some of them in their ultimate influence being beyond the possibility of accurate estimation, {t is plain that the session should not be permitted to close without definite action correcting as far as is now possible the manifest evils that have grown out of the inequitable legislation known as the highway act. Other local bills await action for which there is grave need. The bill favorably re- ported yesterday to the Senate, providing for the construction of a municipal build- ing for the District, is among these. The calendars are unusually well filled with other measures affecting the District’s in- terests in all directions. One after another of important bills of national proportions has occupied the center of the stage to the exclusion of all else, and it is now in order to ask that some consideration be given to the local measures. The District appropriation bill should be promptly and vigorously attacked by the conferees. Less than a month hence this bill wili take effect, if passed. It has now been for three months theoretically in con- ference, but so occupied in war measures have been the senators who were assigned to the task of adjusting the differences be- tween the houses that they have been unable to take up the budget. Meanwhile the House special committee, comprising the House conferees on the District appro- priation bill, has been inquiring into the telephone rate question and it was expect- ed that by the time the bill was taken up in conference the committee would be able to present a definite conclusion in this re- gard. The conferees are now free for the first time in many weeks and the telephone committee has about finished its work. It is altogether probable, of course, that an agreement will be reached before the close of the fiscal year, but it is not assured that the bill will not this year, as on many other cecasions, suffer at the end through necessarily hasty work. Protect the Boys at the Front. It is rumored that a movement is on foot to take advantage of the absence of the commanding general of the District Na- tonal Guard, who 1s now leading the first regiment of volunteers against the nemies, and in effect to depose | his office, appointing another in him fror his place. The soidiers who go to the front, risking thei: lives for their country and enduring hardships and privaticns ef the cam- paign, should be protected in all their home interests wih a serupwious and even attec- tionate care They should at least be per- mitted to suffer no injury or humiliauon in the interest of those who remain at home. ‘The government in taking care of those who are fighting for its honof will sureiy be as liberally patriotic as priyate firms and mdividuals, who have in aimost every instance held open the positions of em. ployes going to the front and have in many cases continued their salaries in their ab- sence. No salary attaches to the office of briga- dier generai in command of the District National Guard. The government is not paying to Col. Harries two salaries while he is in active service. It is not believed that the District guard can suffer in any conceivable way for want of a general in command during his absenee. There is no sound reason which compels or justifies the unpatriotic act of depriving this offl- cer of the honer of heading our National Guard, merely because he did not stick close to home in the time of his country’s danger. ——_ + ee ~—__ Free Telephones, Poles and Conduits. local telephone company will have a hard time explaining the necessity for its high rates in the light of the disclosures yesterday at the meeting of the House tigating comm relative to the comparative cost of the overhead and the underground construction. One of the prin- cipal pieas of the company has for a long 1 time been that the rates we essarily high here because of the demand for con- duiis. The accounts of the company are not yet sufficiently interpreted to warrant any caiculation from an impartial stand- point to what proportion of the cost of equipment and maiatenance can be at- tributed to the conduit system, but it is rely clear now that the conduit sys- tem has been charged with many burdens that it should not be required to carry. The testimony of expert Hill that the con- duits cost less than the pole system, not enly in initial expense but also in main- nance, puts the company in such a posi- tion that it must bring forward much su stanual testimony to back up its previows assertions. Meanwhile there will be a chance for interesting testimony when, a few days hence, the company produces the red information relative to the num- ber and location of the free telephones in the District. The inquiry should by no means be permitted to end without ascer- taining just what proportion of the sup- posedly enormous cost of maintenance is to be charged to the account of furnishing gratuitous telephonic service to the special friends of the company. ——__ +++ —___ There is no doubt that when the time comes for taking the question up this gov- ernment will be as prompt in deciding what te do with ths Philippines as Mr. Dewey was. en The Spaniards who find their exit cut off by the Merrimac will remember the derelict they turned adrift some time since in the hope that it would damage American ships.

SHOOTING STARS. ~ Not to Blame. “What do you mean by forcing the price of bread up?” inquired the philanthropist. “I didn’t force it up,’? replied the specu- lator, with a look of injured innocence. “After I got possession of all the wheat it went up of its own accord.” The News-Seeker. “I would be happier,” quoth he, “If things could be reversed That rumors might come tardily And confirmations first.” Amiability. “And yet they talk about trusts being soulless and heartless!” exclaimed Senator Sorghum. “They represent a great deal of auto- cratic power.” “Yes. But they ain't a bit mean about it. They go ahead and allow a plain citi- zen of the United States to be known as a czar, and don’t seem the least bit jealous.” All Figured Out. “Charley,” said young Mrs. Torkins,” the more I think of it, the more I am con- vinced that this government is wonder- fully long-headed.” “What's happening now?’ he inquired. “You know what a lot of ‘mules we are ready to ship to Cuba.” “I have read something in that connec- tion.” . “Well, that's what shows our clever- ness. We'll use the mules in Cuba till the war is over, and then they'll be there, right handy, to go to work as soon as the isth- mian canal is dug.” Expectancy. “There are better times before us,” said the school boy as he sat With book in hand endeavoring to get his lessons pat. “Some day we'll put away th stuff that Caesar stopped to write Instead of going forward and attending to his fight. “There won't be any ‘hic-haec-hoc’ to pus- zle girls and boys; The talking that we do will sound like sense instzad of noise. From ‘orum-arum-orums’ we'll be perman- ently freed, And the gerunds and the supines will be left to run to seed. “We needn’t stop and squint around the ending of a word, To find out who is talking and just how the thing occurred; If a piece is worth the reading, thought we'll plainly trace, When at last we Anglo-Saxons dominate the Latin race.” ————— Reed is All Right Washington Dispatch to New York Tribune. President McKinley discussed the annex- ation of Hawaii with several members of Congress today. told them it was of the utmost importance that both houses take prompt action on the annexation reso- lution. He indicated that he had received fissurances that a majority in the Senate will vote for annexation, and was there- fere confident that the resolution will be- every come a law. There does not seem to be ary good foundation for the impression which seems to exist among some of the advocates of annexation that its friends in the House of Repri senting that the cor resolution should the passage of the Senate had made t tatives by 2on- ration of the joint deferred until after ar revenue bill by the mselves the victims of a sort of legislative contidence game. Some of the men who entertain this belief or impression go so far as to impute bad faith tosSpeaker Reed, and assert that, while apparently yielding to the views of the majority of his party, he has simply played a shrewd trick on them. This view of the Speaker's action is a false and absurd one, of course, and cannot be honestly ac- cepted or entertained by anybody who knows Mr. Reed and appreciates his frank- ness, sincerity and directness in dealing with matters of every sort. ———_-e2—____ Senators White and Pettigrew Sent Skyward in the Popular Whirl. Washington Dispatch to Cincinnat! Enquirer. Messrs, Pettigrew and White, who are the leaders in the opposition, deciare that they will never permit this measure to go through. It is not believed, however, that these gentlemen and those who follow im plicitiy in the path for which they mark the way are altogether in earnest when they say they will stay all summer if that be necessary to defeat annexation. The summer is hot and the campaigns are coming on. More than all this, the voice of the people will soon be heard in such be teres that it is not believed the ant ationists can withstand the de: will come before the Senate fo!

From the Chieago Tribune. That Speaker Reed has evidently seen the handwriting on the wall is shown by his having consented to report a rule for the consideration of the Hawaiian annexa- tion resolution. It is to be presumed from that he contemplates becoming a can- didate for re-election himself, and is not compelled to confine his sympathy alio- gether to his colleagues who he was anx- ious should be at home Jooking after their campaigns. But it is difficult to see what excuse the Speaker wiil be able to give to himself for having held up the subject so long only to acknowledge his error in the end. As he has tried to retrieve this by his eleventh-Lour action it is hoped that his constituents will not punish him for his past conduct. Reed Gracefully All Right. Washington Dispatch to Cincinnati Enquirer. ‘The administration program provides that Congzess shall remain in session until the Hawaiian Islands have been annexed. If there has ever been any doubt about this question, that doubt was removed, today when Speaker Reed capitulated and’ grace- fully yielded to the inevitable. This capitu- lation only came after the Speaker saw the House was about to hold a caucus and or- ganize a revolt. ——~+e—____ Reed Logically All Right. From the Chicago Post. In surrendering his own judgment to the will of the House Mr. Reed merely cot firms what he has always said, that the majority of the House fs the boss and he is only its chosen instrument. He is that paradox—a czar on sufferance. From the Chicago News, If Thomas Brackett Reed will only be reasonable and admit that the majority of the House of Representatives may be right and he may be wrong he can take his pick among the Caroline or Pelew Islands take possession as e0on as he pleases.
