What the people of Spain can stand in that line, or their neighbors in Europe, will cause no protest on this side the wate This government, however, would be jus- tified in making one condition. It ought net to treat with Weyler. or with any of the friends of the Butcher, in any form. It vught not to recognize such a government if one should be formed in Spain. Weyler has outlawed himself.

If Mr. Boutwell said tha: he talked non- sense pure and simple. The last clause of the sentence quoted flatly contradiets the first part and is about as absurd a state- ment as can weil be expressed. That “there would have been no Cuban question” had Spain been an educated, enlightened and humane nation there can be little doubt; but that “better schools throughout our country would have the effect to so deaden all humane and patriotic impulses in the American people as to iead them to withhold sympathy for and refuse help to the oppressed who are struggling for lib- to condone barbarisms that would disgrace savages, and to overlook such in- famous crimes as the sinking of the Maine, no reasoning person can for a moment be- lieve. It is to be hoped that Mr. Bou:well bas been misquoted. —————_- ees It was a novel and nappy theught on the part of the captain of the Charleston to Teach out a landing net, so to speak, an‘. take in the Ladrone Islands on his way to the Philippines.

And what is he thinking now? +e Pass the Street Railway Bills. his session of Congress should not be permitted to close without such action by the Senate as will clear up the calendar of the local street railway bills now pending, affecting many int and extending ‘substantial and required relief to vartous sections of the city and District. Some good work has already been done in this is no reason that serves validly with the citizens and the patrons of the railway corporations to prevent a completion of the process of adjusting the transportation facilities to the expanding needs of the public. There is, of course, some difference between what the people really need-and what the companies are willing to undertake in the way of new Mines and extension of old ones. The Sen- ate, however, should not confine its co. - sideration of the cave to the proposals ard cuses of the companies, to the exclusion o2 the pleas of the citizens for relief. By no means shoud the program of legislation be blocked because of rivalries between rozds and maneuverings for financial or legislative advantage that incidentally de- prive the people of their required facilities. The Metropolitan and Capital Traction companies are the chief competitors for extension privileges. Usually competition results advantageously to the public, but In this case the reverse seems to be the rule, the efforts of each road to prevent the other from obtaining favors and franchises serving merely to negative all enterprises. This condition ‘s not conducive to the wholesome growth of the District or to the ultimate betterment of the corporations. These organizations cannot forever con- Mnue to obstruct the paths of each other, to the detriment of the public interests. The Genate, under these conditions, would ests line and there | an A lsc echinacea ee etree be justified in ignoring the Wishes and pleas of the roads themselves und proceed- ing to pass such bills as the public demands indicate, regardless of rivalries and jeal- ousies, and considerate alone of the rights and comforts of the patrons who contribute to the earnings of the road: There are three distinct areas of exten- sion affected by this quarrel. The Mount Pleasant citizens complain that they are not afforded proper facilities and ask for the extension of one or both of the two trunk Mnes that enter or approach that section. The Capital Traction bill now pending in the Senate originally contained a provision for a loop, but this was strick- en out in the House and there now re- mains only the relief promised by the two bills affecting the Metropolitan, providing respectively for extensions from the Ninth street and Connecticut avenue lines. The citizens are now reported as being indig- nant at the laxness of the Metropolitan company in advocating its own measures, and suspect thaf it welcomes the oppoat- tion of ih» other company as an excuse for a period of idleness in this direction. Their indignation of course extends to the other company in the suspicion that it 1s inter- tering to prevent action on the Metropoli- tan bills, or one of them. East of the capitol the Capital Traction company proposes certair betterments and the cltizens demand another that is not especially desired by the company. Noth- ing is being done in this regard, and those who will be affected by the proposed ex- tensions fear that the Capital Traction’s own indifference or the interference of its main rival will operate to prevent any- thing being done. At the other end of the line it is proposed to permit an extension of the Capital Traction line west and north and this, too, is apparently “held up” for mysterious reasons, possibly attributable to corporate jealousies. The reasons that for so long prevented action ‘on the street railway bills in the Senate have row disappeared, the Senate having voted down the obstructive propo- sitions. The bills are well advanced, that affecting the Capital Traction company be- ing in the final stage of passage, while a brief session of the District committee would suffice to put the Metropolitan bill in shape for passage. These measures are susceptible of easy adjustment to meet the public demands and preserve the rights of the companies, and something in this line ought by all means to be accomplished be- fore adjournment. Remember the Soldiers, Gov, Pingree of Michigan after a visit to the camp at Chickamauga indulged in som3 criticisms of the conditions there, which are beirg warmly resented by the army author- ities. They certainly do net agree with re- Forts coming from other sources, and as Gov-rnor Pingree is a civilian there seems rcom to belizve that he colored his picture a little too deeply. No really great hard- ships are being endured at any of the camps. Some hardships were to b3 expect- ed. They go with camp life. They are a part of the seasoning that the soldier gets before he is called on for the long march and the battl. The comforts of home would speedily demoralize the man of arms and action. Governor Pingree has doubtless spoken Without sufficient information, but his visit to the Michigan troops was highly praise- worthy. hav The governors of other states been in camp at Chickamauga and where, and their reception has been nost cordial. Soldiers are benefited by such an assurance that they are still in the minds of th3 authorities at home; that their welfare is a matter of official as well a3 of personal solicitudes. They are encouraged and streigthened in the sacrifices they are waking for the country and for the saver- est trials that may be in store for them. This was a feature in the carcers of those men who during the clyil war came to great distinction as war governors. They kept th: closest track of the troops from their respective states, and helped them in every Way poseible. Andrew of Massachusetts, Curtin of Pennsylvania and Morton of In- diana were untiring in their watchfulness, the thousands of men who took th: fieid from each of those states were con- stantly reminded that in the governor at home they had a friend whose sole concern almost was for their comfort and prot2c- tion. How well the men from those states fought is @ part of the glorious history of that protracted struggle, and that both their courage and endurance were aug- mented by the attentions th2y constantly received from home is certain. —+-+___ Cervera’s “Sortie.” Admiral Cervera, according to Madrid, Successfully attempted a “sort He as- suredly tried to get out of his bottle, and he assuredly did get out. If that is a suc- cessful sortie, then he 1s entitled to the praise of his superiors in the Spanish capi- tal. But the results are not conducive to much Spanish pride in the achievement, save as they emphasize the traditional readiness of Spain's servants to “fight to the last ditch,” to “shed the last drop of blood,” and to “perish rather than yield Spanish honor.” Cervera a prisoner on an American warship, with the vessels of his fleet smoking wrecks on the shore, is not a striking imitation of a man who has suc- ceeded. z ——-- + __ The western man who went to the courts to avoid affixing the revenue stamp, which he was perfectly willing to buy, must have had a very poor opinion of Uncle Sam's mucilage. ‘The decision of the French courts that an author may answer criticism at any length he desires has introduced dramatic art to the terrors of filibustering. ——_+o The sight of a filibustering senator vainly pining for some one to enswer him back would be humorous in connection with any- thing less urgently serious than the annex- ution of Hawall. —++e—_____ The Fourth of July firecracker comes pretty near marking the limit of the aver- age Chinaman’s ability to sympathize with American institutions. ——+-+2—_____ Unele Sam has Spain to thank for noth- ing except a forcible reminder of the need of preparing for war in time of peace. ———_ ++ —___ Events in -Cuba are calculated to make the war-tax payer feel that he is getting a full ‘return for his expenditure. ———__~+ «= ___ A large audience witnessed the latest French duel.

Memories of the lamented Maine are con- stantly recurring in connection with the naval operations in these waters. Captain Sigsbee’s ship, the St. Paul, practically dis- closed the presence of the Cape Verde fleet in Sentiago harbor. tier scouting in that vicinity was of great service to the govern- ment in the formulation of plans to crush the naval power of Spain in this hem- isphere. The other day Bigsbee put the Terror, one of the original members of-this same fleet, out of alt future calculations concerning the aggressive naval pewer of Spain. Sunday Lieutenant Commander Wainwright, who was first officer af the Maine at the time she was destroyed in Havana harbor, finished up the remaining two torpedo gunboats in fine style while the big ships of the American fleet were demolishing the cruisers under Cervera. Wainwright's work was exceptionally bril- liant. Spain has doubtless tong since sus- | ‘pected that it. was a mistake net to furnish the Maine with a secure guard while she jay at anchor at Havana, and ft is not to ‘be questioned that this suspicion has be- come a painful certainty in view of the gal- lant work that has since been done by the officers who escaped destruction on the night of February 16. ——__+ ++ ____ It is not likely that young Mr. Lefter will undertake to give his father any more les- sons in making money rapidly.

Try it and Jy15-14a f afford to look great questions from the standpoint of statesmanship, and in this Great struggle they will take the lead. The state of Alabama has been undergoing de- velopmental processes for some years along lines of diversified interests. She has coal, iron, beauxite and other minerals, and her people are discovering that raising 6- cent cotton that is mortgaged for supplies as soon as planted is not the quickest way to grow rich. The Alabama senators are looking forward. They reallze that if the south grows and expands and achieves the degree of prosperity that is within her reach, she must find markets beyond her own borders, and to secure markets she must have outposts and way stations, such as Hawaii, Porto Rico and elsewhere. It is unfortunate that in the south, and Tep- resenting constituencies tuat are trying to win a livelihood by raising 6-cent cotton, there are senators who cling to old ways and old ideas, looking backward and never forward, pursuing the trade of politics in- stead of the noble profession of statesman- ship. But in sptte of these recalcitrants who stupidly oppose progress, their. con- stituents will be benefited. Such men as the state of Alabama has in congress are representatives of the intelligence of the country, and the intelligence of the coun- try ultimately wins. It may be delayed but not defeated in its aspirations. | —_rroe—____ Fair Play for Hawall. From the Chicago Journai (ind.).

Abdominal Bands for the soldiers, The ¢djournment of Congress without a vote of the Senate on the Hawatian annex- ation resolution would be an exhibition of political cowardice deserving the contempt of every American, regardless of the side he had taken on the question. The Senate opposition has filibustered to the end of public patience. The House of Representatives has declared itself for an- nexation, and the only thing remaining for the Senate to do is to say whether it will or will not acquiesce in the desires of a majority of the people. Debate has been worn out and can have no further utility except to consume time and enable the opposition to dodge an issue it dare not confront. The friends of annexation should stop talking. There are no new arguments to combat except the unanswerable idiocy of Roach of North Dakota, who claims to fear earthquakes will “swallow up” the islands. if Caffery and Pettigrew and White and the rest of them refuse to stop, let them be condemned to talk all summer.
