As a News und Advertising Medium it has no competitor. lm order to avotd delays, om nc- count of personal absence, lett: THE STAR should not be addre y individual connected with t ce, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Musiness Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Partisanship vs. Patriotism. In reply to an editorial in yesterday’s Star concerning Mr. Bailey's leadership of the House democrats the following com- munication from R2presentative Henry of Texas has been received: ‘To the Editor of The Evening Star. In an editorial attack upon Mr. Bailey in your yesterday's issue you state that “he has been defeated three tim2s in three weeks,” and you instance the vote on the Dill allowing soldiers to vote, the Hawa- lian resolution and the attempt to bind the participants in th2 democratic caucus. You not oaly fail to state ali of the facts, but ate the important ones in respect question. You say in reference to the vote on the soldiers’ bill: “He fought the right of soldiers to vot2, and more democrats supported the bill than sup- ported him.” The Record does not sus- tain your assertion, and it shows that more democrats voted with Mr. Bailey @gainst the bill than voted with the re- publicans for it. You instance as his sec- ond d=feat “his effort to poll the demo- cratic vote against Hawalian annexa- tion.” The truth is that while Mr. Bailey was opposed to annexation, as are sev e per cent of the democrats in the and ninety-five per c2nt of the ts in the country, he advised against any effort in the democratic cau- cus io bind ali democrats in the House to vote against the Hawaiian resolution. He did this not because he thought it wise for to vote for th> measure, but has not been customary for years to make the action of tne atic caucus binding; and he insisted that while the rule ought to be changed, the change ought to b2 made when no im- portant question was pending. Your third instance of his defeat is “his effort last night to bring everybody into camp for future ser under the swish of the party lash.” You say that failed, but you e@ught to have said that it failed becaus> is opponents sat in the democratic cau- cus and refused to vote in order to break a quorum. He was supported by a large majority of the democrats in the caucus, as well as by a large majority of the @2mocrats in the House. R. L. HENRY, June 22, 1898 7th Dist. of Texas. ‘The Star would not intentionally mis- State facts, important or otherwise, to the detriment of anybody, and it readily re- examines the statements to which Repre- ive Henry directs its attention, with purpese of making any correction which truth and fairness may seem to re- quire. The Star alieged that Mr. Bailey had faikd in his effort to poli the House democracy against the bill allowing sol- diers in the field the right to vote, stating as an incident and detail of that failure that more democrats supported the bill than supported Mr. Bailey. Analysis of the final vote on this bill shows that out of the 126 democrats in the House Mr. Bailey mustered 40 against the measure; that of the 197 votes for the bill 56 were cast by anti-republicans, and that of these affirma- tive by the yosition 38 were straight democrats, 5 fusion populist-demo- votes ° erats, 11 ight populists anc lverites. Whether the Bryan fusion democrats may be broadly classed as democrats, whether the democr is 38 or 43 to 49, an 8 any error in The Sta upon the extent of Mr. Baile , it is an “important” one, ma to the reasonable . Henry himself. e Star alleged that Mr. Bai- i in his effort to poll the House Hawaiian annexation, a score of the democrats refusing to follow him. This is the absolute truth and is not denied by Mr. Henry, who merely contends that Mr. Bailey did not attempt to use the caucus in support of his effort, which faiied, to poll the House democracy against tion. » The Star alleged that Mr. Bailey had failed in his effort “to bring everybody into camp for future service under the swish of the party lash." Mr. Henry ex- Plicitly admits the fact of this failure, and explains why and how it failed. The Star is unable to discover any founda- tion for the allegation of Mr. Henry that it misstates the important facts In respect to each of the above questions. There is neither personal animosity nor partisanship in The Star's questioning of the wisdom of certain acts of the leader of the House democrats. Its appraisement of Mr. Bailey personally is high, and it is equally ready on proper occasion to criticise the course of the leader of the House re- publicans, for whose personal ability it also entertains a profound admiration. But partisan opposition to war measures during the period of actual hostilities is, in The Star's opinion, impolitic, no matter by whom it is urged, and tends to certain dis- aster; and the worst enemy of the democracy would, in its opinion, be the man who should most vigorously sustain Mr. Bailey's apparent effort to apply the party lash to individual democrats, who im this crisis put patriotism above partisanship and serve their party best by serving their country first. democracy i —~+-____ Annexation of Hawaii is urged by the ad- minisiration as a war measure; but some alleged friends of the administration and annexation are credited with a willingness to postpone a vote upon it until after th» war is over. The legislative provisions for this war are to be evacted now and not next winter. ——_+e-__ The German emperor wrongs Americans by imagining they doubt his expressions of friendship.

At a little place called Lawrencevill>, in New Jersey, Mr. Cleveland yesterday par- ticipated in some local school exercis2s. He deliversd an address on the subject of “Good Citizenship.” At any rate the ad- dress was so advertised. It really was a disquisition against war and in glorifica- tion of peace. it is an easy matter to agree with Mr. Cleveland when he tak>s the platform on such occasions as that of yesterday. So much of what he then sald has so often been said—is so Mttle the subject of con- troversy anywhere. Men living in a free country should lov: the country. The good citizen is the watchful citizen who bears his part of the public burden. If the coun- try ts to be well served in office the people must elect good and capable men to office. And so’on. Nobody but @ humorist lsad- ing for a bit of fun would dispute these things. Mr. Cleveland quotes General Grant’s phrase, “Let us have peace; General Sherman’s phrase, “War is hell,” and a phrase of Gensral Sheridan expressing a horror of war. They were great soldiers today they would be d2s- upon peace? Would they not, if their years permitted it, rather be in the field with their scabbards empty and their thoughts fixed =xclusively on war? War they always did abhor, but while war was raging they never lectured on peace, or talked to schoolboys or anybody else about war’s horrors. In war times they talked war and made war. ‘They advocated p2ace with full muzzles and sharp swords. Later, when peace by such means had been se- cured, they dwelt upon its beauties and urged that it be pr2served. Mr. Cleveland is famous for doing the unusual thing. The day of Mr. McKinley’s inauguration was fair and beautiful. There was not a cloud on the horizon. But when Mr. Cleveland emerged from the White Hous? to escort his successor to the Cap- itol to be sworn in he was observed to be carrying an umbrella! So now, when war is on, and is the talk of everybody else, Mr. Cleveland talks peace. ——___-¢ «= No Postponement. The proposition that a vote on the New- lands resolution be postponed until a given day next session is, as The Star stated last week, a Gevice of the enemy. There is no good reason for postponement what- ever. The votes are now ready in numbers sufficient to-pass the resolution, an emer- gency is new added to the desirableness of annexation on general principles, and im- mediate action ought to be taken. Why therefore should any senator who really favors annexation consent to postpone- ment? = It is asserted that an agreement exists which will bring about adjournment witr- out action. Who made it? What are its terms? What is the history of it? Such an agreement, if it exists, is an important matter. Who essayed to speak for th> an- nexationists, and why? Who represented the other side, and precisely what assur- ances did they receive? The country will be interested in knowing all about a com- pact having for its object the defeat of a measure which the President and his milii- tary and naval advisers regard as of the highest importance in connection with the national defense at this time. Too fuil particulars about such an agreement could searcely be obtained. It is to be hoped, too, that Mr. Jones of Arkarsas will continue his policy of having @ roll call every now and then. In that way the country will be kept advised of just how many senators are in attendance on their duties at a time when the United States expects every senator to do his duty. This is such a time as Lord Nelson once described to his English sailors. And if senators begin to drop away and delay business the newspapers will be able to supplement the news contained in the roil calls and give the addresses of those who may happen to be out of town, and why. Lounging at the sea shore or at mountain resorts, or drawing fish from well-filled pools, or mending political fences’ at home will hardly be in order while the New- lands resolution remains undisposed of here. Let us have an early vote. The country desires and expects it and will be benefited by it. And the vote is ready to be recorded. —____+ +. —___ The Attack Upon Santiago. The country should not expect great re- sults too quickly from the arrival of the American troops off Santiago. The first stage only of the invasion has been passed. ‘The real work is yet before the army and the navy, and it will be unwise for the people of the country to look for the fall of the city and the rout of the enemy Within a day or two. The Spanish forces now concentrated in and around Santi- ago are Sufficiently numerous and well armed to be reckoned as a formidable foe. ‘The fighting that has taken place thus far at Guantanamo has shown that while their marksmanship is relatively poor the Span- ish soldiers are brave and fight stobbornly. The success of an inferior number of ma- rines and Cubans against the assaulting enemy has perhaps led to « belief that this spectacle will be repeated in all the subsequent efforts of the invaders. This may be true, yet it is unsafe to estimate with absolute relance upon an equation, inspired largely by patriotic enthusiasm, which places two Americans as equivalent to three or four Spaniards. The leaders of the present expedition are presumably planning to proceed with such caution as wiil practically ensure un- broken sucesss. First will come the de- barkation, a process that may require sev- eral days and cannot under any circum- stances be hurriedly undertaken, in view of the presence in the immediate neighbor- hood of large numbers of the enemy's troops. The ships will aid materially in making the landing safe by shelling the shores and surrounding forests and brush, but even then the American soldiers may be required to fight to retain their foot- hold before they begin to advance upon the stronghold of the Spaniards. Nor is it to be expected that the commanders of the forces at the front or their superiors in this city will take the public into their confidence as to their plans and maneuvers, and thus certain moves designed solely for preliminary purposes may be mistaken by the people at home for the main advance. —_———__s+o—_____—- Ex-President Cleveland alludes to the dangers by which this republic is bese:, but does not mention bond syndicates and Kanaka queens as being conspicuous an.ong them. —_——_~++-—____.

Yet the fact of the inadequate size of the force is con- stantly being demonstrated. The other night burglars entered a house in a well populated suburb, within a pistol shot of the city’s imaginary boundary, and carried off valuables after blinding some of the occupants with red pepper. The next night a citizen while returning home from his office was waylald by foot-pads in one of the smaller parks and knocked into uncon- sciousness, his assailants robbing him of his money. These two instances are but sam- ples of those that are constantly coming to ight to cause the citizens to continue in an apprehensive frame of mind. Washing- ton is well lighted and with a sufficiently large police force there is a minimum of tion cannot isting force to an unwarranted test of ca- pacity that it has withstood admirably. “But even with the degree of efficiency that now marks the force, the protection af- forded at night is too small. —_~r+o—_—_ Some of the richest corporations will take as much pride in evading the war tax as the average citizen vee in paying. his share. —_—-+-+-e____ It will pain Mr. Croker to observe what a@ lively fight for rations his reconcen- trados are disposed to make.

This plan of campaign is shameless and infamous. Pettigrew cares nothing for that, however. Mr. White cares nothing for it. Mr. Jones of Arkansas cares nothing for it. The personal motives of these three guer- villa chieftains, honest or dishonest, philo- sophical or selfish, respectable or mercen- ary, are so strong that, one and all three, they would rather see Dewey driven out of Manila than witness the raising of the American flag upon the pole from which Paramount Biount hauled it down at the order of Grover Cleveland. It is probably not too much to say that Pettigrew, White and Jones would prefer that the present war with Spain should come to an in- glorious conclusion rather than that their own guerrilla war against American inter- ests should be terminated bythe constitu- tional process of the orderly assertion of the will of the majority in Congress. Senator Frye of Maine was perfectly right when he warned the conspirators that their obstructive tacties will be met with un- flinching and indefatigable resistance. It is absurd that this corporal's guard of guer- rillas which Pettigrew, White and Jones are able to muster should be permitted to nul- lify the will of Congress and of the nation by preventing a vote in the Senate. A vote on the Newfand’s resolution must be had if the Senate and Congress is held in session all summer by White, Jones and Pettigrew. Surrender to this gang would be everlasting disgrace to the majority collectively, and political ruin to the individual senators whose cowardice or selfisnness rendered it possible. ————_~>+e—_____ House Will Not Recede. Washington Dispatch to New York Herald. Adjournment of the session without ac- be accomplished without the concurrence of the Hous of Representa- tives, and it is not probable the House will recede from its determination to force an issue. The course of democratic leaders in attempting to unite their party in opposi- tion to annexation, and to discipline repre- sentatives who voted for the resolution after th2 caucus declared it ought to be op- posed, would have the effect of uniting re- ublicans all the more solidly in their de- termination to secure the adoption of the resolution this session. Th2y can go to the country in the campaign next fall with an- nexation accomplished, and can argue that it was a republican measure, carried through in spite of the opposition of the democratic party. ——~+2s—____ Suggestive Fluctuations in the Sugar Market. From the Los Angeles Express, If the real cause of d2lay be determined in the Hawaiian annexation matter it would Probably be found that progress is clogged by too muck sugar. The fluctuations in the sugar inarket, corresponding with apparent changes in the annexation situation, are v2ry suggestive, to say the least. Events Have Crowded Out Incidents. From the Philadelphia Inquirer. The war has doen one thing. Aside from its demonstration that there is as much heroism, ‘or more, in the United States as there ever was, it has obscured the freaks in a most delightful fashion. Who knows where Eugene V. Debs is now? Who cares whether Coxey is stopping in his caravan or at the best hotels? Who pauses to think whether Mrs. Lease is alive, dead or som- nolent? No tears are shed over the silence of “Tom” Watson, and Corbett and Fitz- simmons are as nightmares of the past. Not a soul even stops to ask of Andree, the intrepid voyager to the north pole by the aerial route. very names of Tillman and Altgeld are dim as memories of a sum- mer’s dream.
