Ne Step Backward. | The presentation in the House yesterday ef a bill for the extension and grading of 11th street, solely at the District's expense, is a blemish upon this session's exceileat record of the House District committee, an ugly precedent of violation of the organic act of ‘7S. and a blew at the welfare of the capital similar to that inflicted by those pernicious provisions of the highway act which Congress has just wisely repealed. ‘The District endeavored to convince Con- gress that the law of 1893, which extended the grand national plan of the original city over the misfit subdivisions and un- subdivided land of the suburbs entirely et nse, was in this respect intoler- cppre and grossiy unjust. In pursuance of this demonstration Congress these obnoxious and injur- s, the law of 1878 and not , and for the first time since the latter year it is possible to anticipate the development of suburban Washington as an integral part of the national capital with the same street pian sustained under © same policy of proportionate contribu- » by the nation and the nation’s city. Hardly have the local expressions of thankful appzeciatien of this act of tegis- ve has cancelled lative justice died away when the House District committee proposes to re-enact piecemeal in the e of successive single streets the iniquitous principle which it has just condemned and abolished in its ion to the comprehensive extension ngton’s streets collectively. Con- ess is asked to stultify itself. is true that Congress must devise a practicable program of cutting through the heit of misfit sub s which intervene isi between the original city and the unsub- divided land that is mapped by the amendé-d highway act. But the new plan should not be adopted in a hasty, hap- hazara and slipshod fashion. The policy proposed to be rushed through the House in dealing with lith street is a resurrection of the principle of the highway act which has just besn henged by the neck until lead in just punishment of its sins. The House committee's new policy when applied to successive streets would reasonably elicit as many groans and curses from Washing- the iniquitous aci of 199. upon the future h the subdivisions ately and carefully jon. The statute repudiat- ral concern in this work has be: The national obligation in the matter should be vigorously urged in con nection with the proposed extension of such great and necessary thoroughfares as will emphasize the national interest. Eleventh street is not from this point of view a good subject for ihe proposed test It is not a great arterial thorough- to extend through private unsub- divided land donations to the District line, and thus to connect and harmonize in part the original and the outlying city. Tne proposition is to purchase every foot of an- ether narrow, short, crooked and unhar- to introduce it as an additional discordant element inte the ex- = hodge-podge. There are, of course, 3 who would be benefited by its cre- but the new street would be yalu- uainly as the roadbed of a proposed extension of the Metropolitan Street Rail- semi-public corporations should with gratuitous use of the sur- © of existing streets. District taxy ld not be asked to buy and grade for ay a suburban roadbed, and tional participation in the financial oncerns of the capital beyond Boundary street in order to put in the cor- peration pocket this additional public gra- teity. “n at the next s fare, monious st isc citi n, able "r the organic act every dollar of tax money is potentially two dollars for all municipal purposes. Since the re- cent amendment of the highway law no statute exists which takes from under the operation of the organic act such municipal expenses as the condemnation and improve- ment of suburban streets. But if Congress particular time treat the rs as more than half dollars king certain suburban municipal im- provements common sense suggests that rovements should be temporarily ed and the current local tax money t upen some municipal need in re- < to which every tax dollar will count #S one hundred cents. It is estimated that “oo will be required to create 11th t extended and to put it into shape as @ street railway road bed. This amount of local tax money, if expended upon sewers or water supply with the proportionate con- tribution of the United States under the law, would apply to these purposes $520,000. The city in the interest of the public health loc spe urgently needs large immediate expendi- tures upon a comprehensive tem of sewage disposal and upon an increase of the quantity and an improvement of the quality of its water. The pending preposition is in effect to take $620,000 aval je for the water and sewer projects and to spend it as $310,000 upon lth street. Che icy worldly wisdom of this economic pol- will not be recognized outside of Bed- lam. At its next session Congress should make s tax dollars circulate at par {a municipal improvements on both sides oi Goundary street. Our legislature will surely perceive the absurdity of exempting Urcle Sam, the largest of our suburban property owners, from participation in su3- urban municipal expenditures.

The democrats of Indiana and the re- bublicans of Ohio in state convention yes- terday nominated candidates for state of- fices to Le voted for in November and ex- pressed themselves on the subject of the issues now before the country. Both con- ventions were largely attended, and each doubtless veiced the sentiments of the party for which it was speaking. Respecting domestic pdlitics there was | the front, whose pittances allowed eqva courage displayed. The Indiana dem- | govermment are not sufficient declared continued confidence in Mr. Bry- an. There was no beating about. the bush on either subject. The Ohio republicans, for their part, reaffirmed the St. Louis platform, and indersed the administration of the man whom they had helped elect to the presidency. They were proud to noie that he had made good ali that they, with others, had promised in his name. Both conventions spproved of the war with Spain, and spoke for its prosecution to a successful end. But the republicans were the. more logical and courageous on that score. They not only declared for the war, but plainly and specifically for the measures pronounced necessary by the highest authorities for carrying it on. They congratulated Admiral Dewey on his splendid achievement at Manila, and then declared for the measure which is relied upon to help him and the country make that accomplishment secure. They accept- ed the military and naval judgment which makes American possession of Hawaii es- sential to Americar security on the Pa- c*fic coast and in the sea itself. ‘The Indiana demecrats halted here, and by doing so robbed their patriotic utter- ances of their force. Why have advocated “such a permanent strengthening of the navy of the United States and coast de- ferses as shall assure adequate protection against fo-eign aggression’’ and refuse to irdorse the measure which trained soldiers and sailors of world-wide reputation insist is indispensable to the proper “strength- ening of the navy and coxst defenses of the United State: Why have declared “the construction and control of the Nicaragua canal by this government” and refuse to advocate the annexation of Ha- wali, when every authority, commercial and naval, is recorded as showing that the proper American control of the canal would be impossible without American con- trol of Hawaii? These observations are not made in a partisan spirit. The Star recognizes, and is glad to recognize, the fact that the war in progress is not a party war. Democrats, republicans and populists are wearing the uniform of Uncle Sam and are glad to do so. Democrats, republicans and populists are supporting war measures in Congress without other question than their value to the country. For this reason it is all the more regrettable that the leadership of Mr. Bailey in the House and that sub- scribed to by Mr. Turpie in the Senate shouid at so vital a time take on the a pect of partisanship and tag a great party with the mark of obstruction to national interests. —__+ + = _____ The Disembarked Army. ‘The first army of invasion has disem- tmarked at the choren point without accident or difficulty. This undertaking was accom- plished in remarkably short time and it is evident that the co-operating army and vy commanders found less resistance to their operations than had be>n anticipated. It is particularly fortunate that the military cable office was established in conjunction with the rey aired line just at the time when the need for sp2edy communication becomes most acute. Henceforth, it is to be expect- ed, the government will be able to keep in close touch with the op2rations around San- o and will be able to maintain that line of supplies and reinforcements which should connect an invading force with its base. Meanwhile efforts are being made to send away a strong detachment of volunteers to reinforce the Shafter expedition at once. Th2 16,000 men first sent may not be suf- ficient to reduce Santiago without resorting to leisurely methods that will not have as great an effect upon Spain as would a com- paratively quick reduction of the city and capture of the ships and army there con- centrat>d. The moral effect of the annihil- ation of this force can not well be es- tmated. Spain may continue after thi: disaster to maintain a front of resistance to the United States, but it is clear that such a reverse, following measurably close upon that at Manila, will go far toward awakening the p2ople of Spain to a realiza- tion of the hopelessness of the campaign in which they are engaged. —__+ e+ —____ A Hint to Tired Senators. The Ohio republican convention yesierday adopted the following resolution unani- mously: “We regret the =nforced absence from this convention of Senators Foraker and Hanna, but we earnestly commend that fidelity to duty which prompts them to remain at Washington, and we heartily approve of their determination to stay there until the will of the American people is carried out, and our flag once more floats over the Ha- waiian Islands, never again to be hauled down. There is a significant hint in this resolu- tion to any tired senators who say they are not feeling very well and must really ad- journ and go home if Senators White and Pettigrew insist upon filibustering. The resolution not only voices the sentiment of the Ohio republicans, but of nine-tenths of the whole people of the country, without regard to party. ee It would be a saving if Mr. Joe Leiter’s friends would see to it that his affairs are closed up before the government requires j checks, receipts and other formal docu- ments to be stamped. ——~ eo The German emperor has for a number of years sought io convey the impression that he was seeking trouble.

Many of them never wear dress suits. >> —____ Aid for the Volunteers, The work already accomplish2d by the or- ganization recently formed in this~city to the volunteer soldiers from the District indicates that the people have taken hold ef the idea hearuly and that as long as the regiment is in the field its members will re- ceive comforting attention from home. The first contribution amounts to $180, and this money will buy many things that wiil alle- viate the hardships of camp lif2. The plan of sending the money to the chaplain, to be expended as he may see fit, is excellent and wil doubtless save much that might oth>r- wise be wasted in carriage tolls and in the deterioration of the goods. The chaplain of the regiment is in a position to know the wants of the men, and has such leisurs in comparison as may well be occupied by this task of distribution. It is to be hoped that the citizens of the District will continue their contributions to the organization, which is merely a medium of communica- tion. The city contains many thousands of veterans of the late war, who understand from personal experience the need of con- tributions to the fund that is now being put to such good use, and it Is not to b2 qnes- toned that as soon as the fact of the ex- istence of this organization has become generally known there will be a generous in-rush of donations that will give the r2gt- mental chaplain plenty of work to do. Per- baps later the association may be called upon to care for the families of THE “EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, ‘JUNE’ 23, 1898-12 PAGES. those at home dependent upon them. Thus far there seems to be little or no suffering on this account, yet it is fortunate that there is. already formed @ means of con- ducting the proper inquiries and affording |- the necessary relief if cases demanding at- tention should be discovered. ~ ee Running to Drivel. The Senate anti-annexation filibusters are running to drivel In their desperate at- tempts to talk against time. Nothing could be more grotesquely absurd than the as- sertions of Senators Mitchell and Petti- grew that the annexation of Hawaii is a scheme of the Sugar Trust. There needs no other answer to this silly talk than the action of the New York stock market, where “sugar” goes up or down just as the chances of annexation go down or up. The report of. yesterday’s stock market tells the whole story: “The weakness in sugar ascribed to pros-, pective annexation of Hawaii was a feat- tre. The bears had everything their own way in this specialty and were successful in forcing out round amounts of stock which carried the prices down 21-2 per cent to 128 5-8." ——_++e—____ Richard Croker’s patriotism contents it- self with a reminder that London is worse than New York in many respects. Some allowance should be made for the immense- ly longer time Londen has had in which to degenerate. Se The fact that all delay increases the chances of complications with Europe is calculated to assist Spain in bearing the suspense in the Caribbean sea. ——»s>22s—__ Germany may have presumed rather too far on Chauncey M. Depew’s intimation in France that an Anglo-American alliance is unlikely to occur. aS General Shafter will probably not be hampered in his movements by a fear of getting too far out of the board of strate- gy's reach. —— ~> oe There seems to be a general feeling that Col. Bryan is likely to be more of a success as a military man than as a politician. 0 SHOOTING STARS. Not to Be Thought of. “Shall we try to get back the prisoners?” asked one Spanish officer. ‘And relieve the Yankees of responsibili- ty for their board and lodging!” exclaimed the other. “Man, where's your sense of strategy?” An Indorsemen: “I am very much pleased to see this anti- annexation sentiment in America,” re- marked the German emperor. “sut—" began the official. “It is a very just and proper sentiment. They ought not to annex anything. They ought to let me do it all.” Refuge Behind a Proverb. “The pen is mightier than the sword.” And so he sat him down to write The strategists a warning word Instead of going out to fight. A Reflection. “A throne,” said the boy king with the gravity becoming his station, “is very much like a bicycle.” “In what respect?” minister. “Thirgs go easily enough while you're on. But it’s hard to dismount gracefully inquired the prime A Suspicion. “Humph!” exclaimed the young woman with a sailor hat. “They talk about ac- tresses losing diamonds and resorting to other old expedients in order to become rrominent!” “What's the matter now?” inquired the young woman with her. “Here's another item about another cler- gyman who refuses to belleve that the whale swallowed Jonah.” A Heavy Handicap. It is but a Spanish custom. It was not the youngster’s fault That he never had the training Which would help him earn iis salt. And he couldn't raise a protest Wher to christen him they came And they solemnly afflicted The poor ‘nfant with the name, “Alphonso XIII, Leon Ferdinand Maria James Isidor: Pascal Antonio.” And it’s not at all surprising That in business of state And in military matters All his people come too late. For it’s likely to occasion An embarrassing delay When they rally up their cohorts And they stop to shout “Hooray For Alphorzo XIII, Leon Ferdinand Maria James Isidore Pascal Antonio!” —_—--_+ = _-___ This Will Not Answer. From the Chicago Pest. There is another danger which we must not ignore. Certain republican s2natos charged with having given improper pledges to the antis, are manifestly luke- warm and indifferent. They talk about a “compromise” in the shape of an agree- ment fixing a date early in the next session of Congress for a vote upon the subject. This will not answer at all. The adminis- tration is anxious for immediate action, and popular sentiment unreservedly sup- ports it. There is no good reason for a pestponement. It is the duty of republi- cans to provent a waste of time and dis- courage obstruction. As Senator Lodge sug- gests, let the friends of the measure oc- cupy no time by long arguments and give the ants a monopoly of the speech-making. That policy will soon exhaust the obstruc- tionists. Ther2 is a large majority for annexation in the Senate, and it can have its way if it is earnest, resolute and alert. ———~eo— “Leprosy and Loot.” From the New York Journal. The national sefety, the national honor, the national adventage are nothing to the Sugar Trust. It opposes the annexation of Hawaii because the planters of the ‘slands, if brought cnder flag. would escape frcm the monopcly’s clutches. Therefore the organs of the Sugar Trust, ignoring the demands of patriotism, shout ‘Leprosy and Loot.” And there are senators not above echoing that bogus cry. ———— «= ____ Senator Frye is Right. From the Boston Journal. Senator Frye ts right. The Senate must sive Hawaii the right of way all along. Annexation is a war measure. The Pres- ident desires it, and the circumstances of the war demand it. ——_o+e—____- Mitchell's Humorous Assertion. Washington Dispatch to Philadelphia Press. i One of the amusing features of the debate was Senator Mitchell’s assertion that the annexation of Hawaii was a scheme of the sugar trust. Everybody knows that the agencies usualiy employed by the sugar trust to further or hinder legislation at Washington have been used to oppose the annexation resolution. —__—_~2+o__ He Stands Alone. From the Boston Journal. Senator Morrill stands alone in the Ver- mont delegation on this question. Senator Proctor, who is an accomplished military student, as well as a capable man of af- fairs, is a firm belieter in American control of the “Gibraltar of the Pacific.” So are Representative Grout, who was Heutenant colonel of Unicn Volunteers, and Repre- sentative Powers—they both voted for the Hawaiian resoluticn last week in the House of Representatives. On this issue, as on others, Vermcnt, without abating its regard for its senior senator, stands with the republican majority in Congress and ae republican President of the United es. _———2s0o ‘Trouble Ahead.
