NOYE: THE EVENING STAR bas a regular permanent Family Circulation re than the combined cl. of the other Washington News and Advertising Medium it has no eempetitor.

Hawa The claims with respect to Hawaii in the Under Discuss He were fully sustained by yesterday's action. All that was necessary was an op- portunity to get at the subject. The Ne lands resolution is now under discussion, and will pass that body at 5 o'clock next Wednesday afternoon. for debate is ample. Every phase of the has ady been canvassed in Congress and out, and members desire, and ly only opportunity to explain r votes. Four days’ time in a body of three hundred and fifty-six members is suf- ficient for that purpose. The time allotted need, But the rub has yet to come. The Svgar Trust and its allies are to make their fight in the Senate. Obstruction is the watch- word. Talk. simply for talk’s sake; talk, in a body the misinvoking of whose rules makes wind a great power; talk, not for the pury of concealing ideas but the lack of them; talk, in ail the wearying re- of professional jargon; talk, if n, is to do the work. The oppo- sition is strong in this weapon. There are men on the list who when they take the floor with the best reason and under the most fav ble conditions are robust agen- cies for the diffusion of fatigue. As ob- structionists pure and simple, they ought to prove, the Trust hopes, positively mad- dening. But the majority of the Senate can defeat even this 1 tated, will call up the resoluti upon its arrival from the House, and this insures leadership aggressive and resourceful. The junior Senator from Maine is one of the most attractive figures in our national enjoys the high respect of all of his ates, and, supported, as he will be, by jority of the Foreign Relations Com- mittee and of the Senate—men of like cali- ber and spirit—will keep the measure steadily to the fore. In demanding a vote on the resolution he will speak not only for @ majority of the Senate but for a very large majority of the people of the United States. A vote, in all reason, ought not to be de- layed longer than a week. The Senate, be- hind closed doors, has already discussed the annexation question. The only new feature of the question since then but adds to the ne of making Hawaii American ter- ritory. The fiddling of Nero while Rome was burning will lose some of its business @s a stock quotation after a few Senators have consumed time spouting against an- fexation while a war is raging which shows annexation to be so very essential to com- plete American success. — ee Woodford and Polo. If when General Woodford quitted Madrid he had tarried in Paris for weeks for no ether purpose than to spy upon Spain across the border, and upon quitting Parts for home had left behind two secretaries with fat purses to continue the work, how Europe would have echoed with denuncia- tion of the outrage! Another bit of shirt sleeve diplomacy. Another bit of low Yankee trickery. Another evidence of the total lack of pride, and honor, and a sense of seemiiness in the American make-up. What lectures in highfalutin key the con- tinental press would have read the United States on the baseness of its methods and the vulgar strain of its public servants. General Woodford, howe’ laid himself open to no criticism whatever. His whole course, while in Spain, upon quitting Spain, and since his return home, has been above reproach. Dignity, patience, conservatism, and kindliness have marked all of his steps. While at Madrid he served his country well. When he left he made reasonzble expedi- tion home, and brought his stali with him, and since his arrival, no word he has spok- en with respect to Spain would militate against his return to his former post in that country upon the termination of hos- tlities. No man ever carried himself better in trying circumstances. We have to put against this the capers of Senor Polo, “a proud Castilian” and all that, who, upon quitting his post here, took refuge in Canada, abused ail the rights of hospitality, the American people with opprobrious epithets through the news- papers, sunk the diplomat in the spy, and upon his departure for home left behind two of his former secretaries to continue the work he had inaugurated. And so in- dustrious have they been that they now find themselves unwelcome in their asylum, and are longer tolerated only because of the absence of a law specifically fitting their particular offenses. That they have offend- ed so as to deserve deportation is agreed in Canadian cire! it they have shrewdly managed not to cross lines that are now laid down. Has any European newspaper had a word in rebuke of this? Not one. Not a line has appeared there on a subject which, had the United States been the offender, would have stirred Europe to its rhetorical, anti- American cente: +o. —___ The Wriggling Sugar Trust Eels.

Hart's Pardon. The pardon of John D. Hart, the ship captain who was imprisoned on a charge ef violating the neutrality laws, through the use of his vessel for filibustering pur- peses, will receive universal American ap- proval. The Hart case recalls the part piayed by this government in the three years of the Cuban insurrection preceding the declaration of war egainst Spain. It is estimated that it cost upward of $2,000,000 to maintain the tlockade of American ports against the filibusters. Every energy was bent to observe the neutrality Jaws. The entire available revenue cutter ferce was actively at work to prevent the @ispatching of expeditions and the secret service ugenis were on guard for informa- tion leading to the apprehensiorf of would- be evaders of the regulations. It was humiliating, and disagreeable as well as costly business Yet, despite all that was @one, there wen’ many successful runs to Cuba. Captain I\\rt had succeeded severai times before he wa3 caught. His trial and conviction were decidedly unpoputar. The people disliked to see citizens confined for aiding the cause that was so near to their hearts. The inevitable outbreak of war with Spin was regarded as a sufficient excuse for lenient treatment, but the gov- ernment, true to its exact responsibilities under the law, dealt vigorously with these offenders. Capt. Hart stands therefore as a type of the times when de Lome was in high feather at Washington, when he was working with unbroken success to secure from this government the limit of his privileges, while abusing them secretly. His vigilance in the matter of filibustering Was phenomenal. His work was well done, and It was from the Spanish standpoint a disastrous occurrence when his term of service was peremptorily cut short. Yet he could not have postponed forever the | day of reckoning. No Spanish agent could prevent an accounting with the oppressive administration of Cuban affairs. If the United States had not been as active as it was forced to be in guarding its own perts and chasing expeditions the present war might possibly have been averted by the pronounced success of the insurgents themselves. But with all the elements in view it is difficult to believe that any change in the case could well have pre- vented this struggle, which seems to have grown out of the destinies of the nation and the demands of civilization. —<——seo__— Unwise Partisanship. The democrats in Congress are drifting from the course of enlightened patriotism which they found in the early stages of the war situation, and it is to be hoped that they will discover their error and resume their places as true Americans before they have seriously embarrassed the government or have injured the prestige of the United States abroad with their obstructive ten- dencies. When measures directly affecting the military plans of the government were first introduced in Congress, notably the ffty-million defense fund, the democratic legislators wisely abandoned a narrow par- tisan course and came out upon the broad field of nationalism. The unanimous votes cast at that period impressed the world as an evidence of the tremendous strength of the nation in an emergency, and materially aided the cause of the United States against Spain. But it has seemed impossi- ble for these partisans to continue to oc- cupy the plane of true statesmanship for any prolonged period. They have of late been exhibiting a disposition to harrass the administration by obstructing the prompt passage of necessary measures relating to the campaign, measures conceived under extraordinary circumstances, aiming at un- usual needs and requiring exceptional treat- ment. They have been unduly disposed to quibble over details, and to criticise the government plans without fully appreciat- ing the need of entire confidence in the war leaders of the nation. As far as Ha- waiian annexation is to be regarded as a war measure, they have obstructed the progress of the war, even to the extent of filibustering, and further opposition of the same kind is threatened in the Senate. Had it not been for the aid extended by these democratic legislators who have thus in- judiciously abandoned the lofty plane of Patriotism, it is not to be questioned that the House would have passed the annexa- tien resolution some time ago. But aside from that, the democrats have been unwise, and their newspaper organs throughout the ecuntry are already noting the folly in spirited and pointed editorials advising the leaders and the followers in Congress to be jess factional and more American in their dealings with the grave and vital topics that are constantly being brought forward at the instance of the government. It is io be hoped that the lesson of Oregon's elec- ticn will be learned by these partisans. Tkat event has shown clearly that the na- ten intends to stand by its chosen adminis- tretors and that this war is to be marked by no schisms. It is a warning to party men to lay aside their prejudices in small or irrelevant matters at this season when every indication points to the necessity of united effort. ———_—_+ +2 —__ The Free Library Amendment. When the President pluces his signature to the bill making appropriations for the support of the District for the coming fiscal year that measure should surely contain the provision for maintaining the free pub- lic library In accordance with the terms of the act creating that institution. More than two years ago Congress passed the bill establishing this necessary adjunct to the public school system of the District. The measure had been pending for several sessions and its final passage was secured only after an expenditure of effort enti:ely cut of proportion to the plainness of the necessity for providing at the capital a public reading room and free library that would reach the thousands who could not then end cannot yet obtain access to the bcoks in the Congressional Library. The citizens of the District are far removed from any material degree of enjoyment of the vast stores of literary wealth in the rational collection. Many classes of the people are absolutely barred by reason of the restrictions surrounding those books. ‘The lack of circulating features as far as the average citizen is concerned robs the gicat library of a large percentage of its usefulness from the local standpoint, end it 1s to meet these necessities that the municipal collection is projected. All is ready for an excellent start as soon as Congress has granted the fund necessary to place the collection on the proper basis, and many private contributions will become available immediately, so that the passage of this bill in its present form will be speedily followed by the opening of the lorg-desired and delayed institution which affects the literary needs of so large a pers centage of the capital’s population. To eliminate this paragraph from the bill Weuld be to inflict substantial harm upon the community. The government clerks, the laboring men, the school children, all require this advantage’ of a free library that can be used either for reference or for circulation, and the aggregated totals of these classes, not te consider the mis- celaneous patrons of the library who are sure to find their way to its doors as soon as it becomes an actuality, run so far into the tens of thousands that it is clear that this modest appropriation reaches very rear to the needs of the whole people of the ecpital. +e ___ The war is a topic of grave and universal importance.

New York Correspondence Philadelphia Press. It 1s reported kere that Mr. Hill, who is to begin political life all over again by serving as a delegate to the state conven- tion, is of the opinion that in the elections of rext fall the country is going to recetve something of a surprise. In his view, what was done in Oregon will be done in almost all of the other states in which free silver and populistic doctrines two years ago seemed to sweep the people from their former political moorings and to bring them into the irresistible current that was flowing tow:rd national populism and re- pvdiation. On the other hand, Mr. Hill is of the op:nicn that in most of the states which have usnally been democratic or doubtful, but which in November, 1896, gave over- wkelming majorities for McKinley, there Is to be something of a reaction. So that the whole election throughout the country will show comperatively great ‘republican and gold standard gains in the state; which supported Bryan or gave McKinley a Larrow plurality, whereas, on the other hend, the enormous majorities which Me- Kinley received in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut and the narrow pluralities which he gained in Kentucky and Indiang will be somewhat cut down. Mr. Hi, it is understood, qualifics this, hewever, by stating that the war spirit und the tendency of the American people always to support an administration which is engaged in war, may prevent the full re- actionary influence which would undis- turbed have greatly reduced the republican majorities which were cast in some states in 1896. In other words, Mr. Hill 1s of the opinion that the elections of next November will emphasize the verdict which was reached in Oregon this week, and that after those eiecticns we shall hear no more of free silver than we heard of greenbackism after the elections of 1880. —_——qs>eo—_—___—_ A Wide Prospect of Prosperity. From the Manufacturers’ Record. we have now entered a new era. Dan- sers of many kinds surround us. We must now take a new position in the world’s af- fairs, and it is folly to say that we can now We are in the world, and we can no more get out of it than the human being once brought into life can get out of existence. It behooves us, therefore, to quit ourselves like men, to meet the responsibility that is upon us, and to prepare to make the best of the sit- uation. To do this we must for the next few years, in building a navy that will make us respected and our power dreaded by every nation of the world, tax to their utmost capacity every ship yard in this country. It is a trite saying that the best assurance of peace is a preparedness for war. The expenditure within the next few years and as rapidly as possible of $250,- 090,000 to $500,000,000 in building a navy will be the cheapest guarantee of peace and safety that we can possibly find. As we enter this new period of naval building ac- tivity, of maritime expansion and of the broadening of our foreign trade we shall find some compensations for present troubles, for we shall then, when the war is ended, have entered a pcriod of business activity and expansion rivaling that which this country enjoyed during the time when the mighty empire of the west was being created by the building of railroads, the development of cities and the opening up of a new agricultural world. oe The Vanishing Johnson.
