The President and Congress. If the opponents of th> annexation of Ha- waii carry out the program they have out- lned it will be in the power of the President to give them a very sharp rebuke, and it is to be hoped that h2 will improve the oppor- tunity. The Senate, it is understood, is to enter vpon consideration of the Newlands resolu- tion with an agreement existing among the enemi>s of the measure that a vote is to be prevented. The odds and ends of the ses- ston are to be cleared up, leaving the reso- lution alone barring the way to adjourn- ment. Then the threat of protracted debate on the resolution is to be made. The hope of the anti-annexationists is that the threat will prove effective, and that the friends of the measur>, to avoid a session through the summer, will surrender. The two houses of Congress when ready to adjourn for the session send a joint com- mittee to the President to notify him of the fact. Th> form of the notification is that Congress is ready to adjourn if the Presi- dent has nothing further to communicate to it. When this committee presents itself, if the Newlands resolution is held up in the Senat>, let the President, either by oral ad- dress to the committee or by a special mes- sage to Congress, call attention to the sit- uation, reaffirm the importance of the reso- lution and his desire that it be pass2d, and request Congress to remain in session until the matter has been disposed of. That will bring the obstructionists up with a round and =nable the country to appreciate the expensive game that th are playing. The majority in Congr: tion which has been thoroughly d and is well und |. ought to rule. That is the fundamental law of our political be- ing. It cannot be s2t aside except to the nent. In the particular mat- cannot be s cept mntry on a proposi- d iscus: to the ate ti the hazard ought t Americ highe to adjourn guarded. —_+++—____ The Speculation About Pence. The Madrid correspondent of the London Time S no promise of an early peace. Americans, as he thinks, are mistaken about Spanish sentiment on the subject, and Spain, through some newspaper com- ment, Is being induced to believe that the people of the United States are already ured of the war; that President McKinley is now unpopular, and that some easy way rious disadvantage of the c when the country is engag>d in of war.

In the language of Paul Jones, the United States has just be- gun to fight. The war was not desired. It was indeed unwelcome.

But, so far, it has d entirely from sensational ource i for purposes sole fes It has not phased him, and it will not, so long as it may so easily be traced to small and mean motives. There are a few people in the United States who are tired of the war. But they are the people who originally were opposed to any interference with Spain in Cuba on any accou Weylerism did not stir them, nor did even the treacherous destruction of the Mai This pro-Spanish contingent, however, has never been large or influen- tial, and it was never so unrepresentative of real American sentiment as it Is today. ———__+ e+ __ Aid for the District Voluateers. Chaplain Couden’s appeal to the people of the District to co-operate with him to cre- ate a fund for the comfort and relief of the local regiment, now about to depart for the front, should receive a hearty response. The outline of his plan was published in Tuesday's Star revealing an entirely prac- ticable purpose. The volunteer soldiers are as yet unprovided with many items direct- ly affecting their physical welfare and the government's resources have thus far been taxed that it has been impossi- ble to complete the necessary equipment. Even when ail that is due has been fur- nished to them the soldier boys will still lack many articles of food and clothing that would do much to alleviate their con- dition. Campaigning it at best a rough business, and especially in such a war, that catls for the dispatching of untrie men into strange fields to battle not only with a human enemy but against the ele- ments of an unfamiliar climate. Mr. Cou- den’s purpose to provide the means for meeting these small but urgent necessities can readily be accomplished if the citizens of the District, regardiess of their per- sonal relations with the members of the regiment, will fall heartily in line and con- tribute to the fund. A thorough organiza- tion Is essential to success and a good start achieved now will ensure the success of the undertaking. Tomorrow's meeting at Grand Army Hall, therefore, should be weil attended by those who realize the need of such an enterprise. ¥ —++2—____ Speaker Reed does not bow to the in- evitable with that grace which might be expected from one who has enjoyed such opportunities for studying political Del- sarte. ——++s+—____ The Eckington Railroad Biil. The bill granting to the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company the de- sired charter privileges and extensions and Tepid transit equipment rights passed the Senate yesterday and is now in confer- ence from which it will probably emerge within a few days and will then be signed by the President. Before the end of this rronth the bill should be a law, and then the public attention* will be closely di- reeted to the newly formed corporation that has made so many promises based upon this legislation. The need for the Projected improvement is evident. ‘The flemand for modern rapid transit on this line and on the Belt, which falls strictly under the same ccnsideration, is such as to insure a generous patronage if the lines are equipped as the blans are now out- lined. The community has been fooled so often in the name of this company, however, that it has a good reason to be skeptical, but the assurances of the new owners have been so positive that there is ro reason at present to doubt vhat the rew law will result in the long-ielayed betterment. According to these promises and statements the company is ready for action and merely awaits the legal per- mission that is conveyed by this act of Congress. Much has been said about con- tracts ready for signature, materials ready for delivery, money ready for transfer, and the outlook has thus been for an imme- Glate acceptance of the opportunity created by the new law. In all liklihood this is the last legislative favor that wiil ever be granted to the Eckington and Belt com- panies, unless they proceed diligently to remedy the evils that have been created by their former owners. Congress has been especially lenient to them. The Eck- ington in particular has received favors and has been granted lcense of action, that have been denied peremptorily to other roads, while the courts have been obliged to continue the same policy of generous treatment in view of the bankrupt condition of the corporations. But the time for such consideration is now at an end and henceforth the public and doubt- less Congress will look for results, failing which a radical policy of readjustment will be demanded by the citizens. The rapid transit evolution of the capital cannot be longer delayed. ———____«-0-» —___ Stendy Development of the Campaign. The military situation is entirely satis- factory at its present stage. The Spanish forces at the eastern end of the Island of Cuba are being steadily driven closer to- gether, on the land side by the Cubans and on the sea side by the Americans. The principal fortifications at the harbor en- trance, the chief reliance of the besieged, bave been reduced, whils a sufficient foree has been landed immediately east of Morro fo prevent much if any work on the ruins to rehabilitate the batteries. Havana remains, as it has been since th> beginning of the war, a negative factor in the campaign. The investment of the capi- ‘tal is coraplete, and there is no apparent disposition to interfere with the course of events there, leaving the city to fall later, when all other features of the aggr2ssive cempaign have been accomplished. With Santiago in its nermal condition it would present few reasons for assault, but with the Spanish fleet there it becom2s the cen- ter of Spanish interests, and its reduction and capture would be of far more conse- © as a factor in the campaign than ult of Havana, with its larger army ts presumably heavier fortifications, involving a greater risk of harm to the American forces. Porto Rico seems safely te be left for later operations, though the plans of the government are now so well in hand thai San Juan may be th> destination of at least a part of the troops that are generally considered as bound from Florida for Santiago. The situation in the Philippines is much more favorable to the American cause. General Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, has developed into a military genius and has displayed exceptional qualities. His aggressive campaign has b2en so success- ful that the Spanish authorities are appre- hensive of an immediate collapse of their power even over Manila. Indeed, some r3- ports hint at the capture of the capital by Aguinaildo already. It appears from the de- bates in the Spanish cortes that the govern- ment at Madrid has abendoned all idea of sending a military expedition to the Philip- pines, and will do nothing further to pre- vent the capture of the islands by the Americars, co-operating with the insur- gents. The troops now on their way to the Philippinzs and those soon to depart will therefore, if this program should be carried out, find less hostile work to be done than was at first anticipated, although the entire subjugation of the islands may take some time and may involve some fighting. oo Cervera will endeavor to get a little con- solation out Of the fact that while the Mer- rimac prevents his fleet from getting out, it will put some difficulties in the way of American ships desiring to get in and finish him. —__~+ + +____ Tt will require much legal Ingenuity to make any tax on inheritances cover the political pull which a number of young army officers have acquired from distin- guished ancestors. ~ ——___- e ——___ A tax on pagent medicines would hardly be complete unless it included some of the political and economic panaceas which have been so industriously exploited. ————~++s—____.

The bill amending the highway extension law should be taken up early enough to ensure careful consideration and action not only in the Senate itself but In the conference where it must be shaped into an agree- ment between the houses. Its passage in some form is so vitally urgent that the session should by no means be permitted to end without action. For these reasons it is to be hoped that the earliest opening will be accepted to bring the bill forward and to secure its passage. The close pro- cession of war measures and other bills uf prime importance has thus far reduced to a minimum the opportunity of both, nouses, particularly the Senate, to attend to miscel- laneous business, and so the District bills must take their chance along with many other measures of every sort and descrip- tion that are now pressing for attention. Each Senator has some piece of legislation of which he desires the enactment before adjournment and will probably appeal for recognition with such insistence that it will be no easy matter to find time for consideration of the highway legislation unless a start is made at once in that di- rection. Now that an opening has been made by passing @ few street railway bilis, which ‘were much needed and for which the Dis- trict gives. hearty thanks, all the energies of the District committee should be bent toward action upon the legislation amend- atory of the highway act. ————»>es—___ Spain maliciously insists on making this country’s chastisement of an inferior foe as lingering and spectacular as possible. —____ + + ____ SHOOTING STARS. Unconcerned. “Aren’t you worried about the tax on sleeping cars?” “Not at all,” replied the lawyer, affably. “If this government catches any of our company’s cars asleep it is at perfect lib- erty to tax them.” A Minor Difficulty.

Proud. “There's no use,” said Cervera, “of try- ing to deny that our superiority is again demonstrated.” “I'm afraid I don’t quite follow you,” said the officer. “I was thinking how much easier it was for Spain to discover America years ago than it has been for America to discover Spain in this locality.” No Ii-Luck. “Do you think that there is ill-luck in the rember 13?” inquir2d the superstitious citi- zen. “No, sir,” answered the base ball enthu- Slast; “not when the Washingtons get the 10 and the Pittsburgs the 3.

Washington Dispatch to the Phijadelphia Pr The sugar trust agents, Messrs. Oxnard and Terrell, are here keeping up an inces- sant fight against the Hawaiian resolution. They are using the sugar beet industry as a whip to force western members into oppo- sition to annexation. They are not able, however, to show how the sugar beet grow- ers would be injured, inasmuch as Hawati- an raw sugar is now admitted free under the treaty. If the islands were annexed it is probable that sugar refineries would be established there and come into competition with the American Sugar Refining Company. This is belleved to be the animus of the opposi- tion. The sugar trust might be hurt on refined sugar, but as far as competition with sugar beet growers is concerned, that competition exists today. These sugar trust agents never come to Washington unless the interests of that concern are threatened, and their presence here now and their work against the New- lands resolution are accepted as sufficient evidence that the sugar trust expects to be injured by the annexation of Hawaii. +o - President McKinley, From the 8t. Louis Globe-Democrat (rep.). The war has lasted long enough to prove that the President, in spite of his reputa- tion for amiability, is a man of strong pur- pose, conservative by nature, yet one who acts with decision when convinced that the right moment has arrived. He follows a higher law than that based on the arts of popularity and demonstrative jingoism. In refusing to recognize the Cuban insurgents as an independent government he display- ed a wisdom that is no longer questioned. He has taken bold ures to preserve the fruits of Dewey's victory, though it opens up new questions of national policy. He is a firm advocate of the annexation of Hawaii, and reveals in that the high Amer- ican spirit looking to the future for the commercial security and development of the country. In Cuba, where every recon- naissance is heralded’ as a repulse by the Spanish cabinet, care has been taken not to bring about a real repulse by precipi- tate orders. The United States in this crisis is fortu- nate in its President. McKinley is a man of solidity of character, of principle, of prudence, and he is a true representative of American progress. Under his earnest, thoughtful, single-minded leadership and pure patriotism no serious mistake will be made by the United States in its conflict with Spain. ——__ se eo__——_—- The Rond to Ruin, From the New York Sun. In a Washington dispatch to the Balti- more Sun there is this diagnosis of demo- cratic policy: “The democratic members of the House are preparing to antagonize the Hawaiian annexation resolution as contrary to proper principles of public policy, and will assume an attitude in the debate which they ex- pect to emphasize in the coming campaign. It appears new that the democratic fight this fall will be made in opposition to the developing policy of territorial expansion, and, while a number of them are rather in- clined to favor Hawaiian annexation, they are not disposed to favor the extension of territory which the republicans advocate. To some extent it is realized that this po- sition is not so popular.” The expressed opinions of many demo- crats in Congress and of many democratic journals of the west and south in regard to the policy of annexation indicate that this diagnosis is correct. If it is, if the democratic party, in this year of broader American patriotism and widening Ameri- can hopes, means to cling doggedly and sullenly to bygone issues, unequal to the present and blind to the future of the United States, then, in all charity, it must be said that the democratic party is a big- ger fool in 1808 than it was in 1896. That is unnecessary and seems impossible. The party that flings itself in the way of the grand forward march of the United States will be battered to flinders. —_—_—_~+e—____ Old Glory in London.
