Peace. A good deal of the present peace talk 1s pitched in the hifalutin key of diplomacy. One might suppose that the war had grown jut of a question about which there was ,mple room for two opinions, and that the ed States, simply because it is the stronger power, should deal in {ts hour of riumph with the utmost consideration and generosity with Spain. The London Satur- Review declares that “the United n a position to act chivalrously gnorable opponent, ‘vho, if de- disgraced.” ld be worse than foliy for the to be guided in this matter by a strict sense of justice. Long 1 corrupt and barbarous Spanish in Cuba, crowned with tw> years of n and the treacherous iestruction l dan ted towar di Wey of the Maine, forced it into war. It de- nounced Sp in the strongest terms for her manifold offenses, and then proceeded ner. It did not consider her “an opponent.” It could not do so. ord forbade it.

So far as the question of disgrace is con- cerned, that fs not to be determined from any resistance Spain has set up to the “nited States. The men who are fighting vekind intrenchments at Santiago are the same men who have raided insurgent hos- pitals and herded women and children for starvation throughout the whole of eastern Cuba. The red Indian and the Zulu, when nered, rush upon death with a good deal te abandon. If Spain sues for peace the United States will of course treat with her in good spirit. But there ought not to be any stilted pal- aver about it, or any terms made on false foundations.

So, too, with Hawati © conditions for annexa- tion had long been ripe. The war made union a positive necessity and demonstrated the truth of the theories concerning this out- post in the Pacific that had been hitherto based largely upon hypothesis. In putting an end te the period of inaction with re- gard to Cuba and in annexing Hawall this Congress did much toward releasing the the fettering bonds nd a cankering conservatism. The measures passed incidental to the war were in tiemselves of great importance. ‘The revenue bill and the original emer- gency appropriation act“Wwere it2ms re- quiring care and thought, and it redounds to the lasting credit of the houses that they met the emergency as became Ameri- “an citizens, in the main burying parti- sanship and following chiefly the guidance of a pure patriotism. The calendar of measures placed on the statute books {s ntains much of positive benefit a minimum of menace to s of the country. The bill was one of the most im- enactments of the session aside rom those affecting the foreign reiations of the nation. It promises to readjust more equitably the relations of debtor and cred- or, and if it should accomplish this re- sult, without interfering with the whole- some commercial development of the coun- try, it will prove a boon to business. Un- fortunately this Congress did not find itself in a position to pass the needful legisla- tion relative to the Nicaragua canal, but the other things it did, affecting Spain nd Hawail, cleared the path unmistaka- bly to the accomplishment of this great work. Never before has the necessity of such an inter-oceante waterway been more clear to all thinking men, and it may be that Congress will at the next session com- plete its noble task of putting the United States square with the world of progress by passing such measures as will ensure the speedy “completion of this canal.

The Bawaitan Commisssion. President McKinley's selection tor the commission to recommend ways and means of government for the newly acquired ter- ritory of Hawaii will meet public approval The Americans chosen are particularly qualified for this duty. While it is unfor- tunate that Chairman Davis of the Senate foreign relations committee was unable to accept the first place on the commission, the substitution of Senator Culiom will give general satisfaction, while the inclusion of Senator Morgan and Representaiive Hitt assures that none but capable work will be done in the line laid down by the joint reso- lution of annexation. Mr. Morgan knows the case of Hawaii as thoroughly as does any other man alive. He has studied it not only from a distance, but close at hand. He understands the historical, commercial aad military reasons for annexation. He appreciates the changing nature of the re- lations between the native and the foreign- born residents of the islands. He sees the inevitable rift of Hawaii toward a civili- zation that could never have been worked out of the old-time conditions. Mr. Hitt’s famillarity with foreign relations, through his duties abroad in a representative capac- ity and his service both in the State De- partment and as chairman of the House committee on foreign affairs, renders him of conspicuous value to such a body. His excellent judgment will serve well in the formation of the plans of government. Mr. Cullom, too, has become familiar with for- eign relations and his sound qualities as a substantial American citizen and his ex- tended experience with public affairs ren- der him valuable in this important work. The Hawaiian commissioners are well chosen. Of President Dole no particular words of praise are necessary. His con: duct during the trying years of republic making and maintenance and of efforts at union has endeared him to the peoples o1 both countries. His recent visit to Wash ington revealed the man in his true propor- tions and showed how wisely the leaders of the revolutionary movement acted when they placed him at the head of affairs. His colleague, Mr. Frear, is not so well known in this country. Indeed his name is prac- tically that of a stranger here, but the rec- ords show him to have been intelligently active in the werk of placing Hawaii in the front ranks of civilization. With these men, familiar with conditions in both countries, actively at work the nation may rest as- sured that the President will soon be ad- vised intelligently and safely concerning the proper method of bringing Hawaii un- der the dominion of the United States. It is a delicate and important task, but the machinery for its satisfactory accomplish- ment is well at hand. ———__ + 6» —___ Jastice for the Cubans, There seems to be a disposition not only to belittle but to malign the Cubans who are serving with the army tn front of Santli- ago. They are charged with cowardice in action, and with inhumanity toward the helpless. They are described as jeering at Spanish prisoners, and even menacing them with death. They flocked to the coast, it is asserted, when Admiral Cervera's ships were beached, and were with difficulty re- strained from falling on the Spanish sall- ors who had made shore and butchering them. That tall yarn about the beheading of some Spanish captives by Cuban sol- diers within a mile or so of General Shaf- ter’s tent has been officially denied. But the other stories remain. The Star expects that later accounts will materially modify the whole indict- ment. It does not believe that the men who have been trained in arms by and been serving under General Garcia are lacking in either courage or humanity. Their leader is himself a good soldier of capacity and enterprise, and his career in eastern Cuba prior to the arrival of the American troops stamped him as an hon- orabile and daring commander. The proba- bilities therefore are against the justice of this arraignment of General Garcia and his contingent. But we need not be too exacting. It 1s only fair to allow for a little human na- ture. The sight of a Spaniard as a pris- oner, disarmed and powerless for further harm, naturally gives unbounded pleasure to a Cuban. He sees before him. one of the men who under orders have for three years been butchering and starving help- less Cuban people, carrying the lighted torch into many quarters, and to the full- est extent within their opportunities mak- ing a waste of the island. How would an American, or any other man, feel toward an enemy in similar circumstances? How do the Americans around Santiago already feel toward those Spanish fiends perched in tree-tops who fire upon funeral parties and pick off surgeons while bending over the wounded? The Cubans are entitled to justice and a fair judgment. They have gone through such persecution at the hands of Spain as is rarely visited on any people, and if they did not hate the bloody instruments of her tyranny they would be altogether too good for this world. ——- ++ ___. Smokeless Powder, As appears by the interviews with them, published in yesterday's Star, a number of Prominent members of Congress were able to show that they at least are in no way responsible for the unfortunate circum- stance that neither our military or naval forces have been supplied with smokeless powder. Indeed, one of them was so char- itable as to say that he did not see that any one is particularly to blame for the situation. This may possibly be so, and again it may be taking too favorable a view of the case. The Star inclines to the opin- jon that itis. But anyway, the deplorable fact stares us in the face that Spain, which is from one to two centuries behind this country in the adoption and utilization of modern inventions, improvements and ap- pliances, was prompt to supply her forces with that potential factor in modern war- fare, while ours were sent to sea and into the field without it. The calamitous re- sult we have seen in the bloody thickets around Santiago, and our disastrous ex- perience there should be a lesson to our government. Whatever the facts of the past may have been, prompt and effective measures should be taken to the end that our gallant boys in the fleld shall not again be placed at such frightful disadvantage. —> +2 ___ A great deal of newspaper space fs being prematurely wasted just now in explaining to the government what it should do with the Philippine Islands. A good thing would be to get them first, and then hold on to them long enough to intelligently determine the best disposition to be made of them under all the circumstances then existing. A pound of events is worth more than a ton of theorizing in war times. ———~++2e—____ There are people whose fear that this country may drift into imperialism ob- scures their satisfaction at seeing other lands cut loose from it. —re+o—__ After all, this country has some reason to be grateful to the Princess Chimay. She appears to have no immediate inten- tion of visiting it. ——_~+-— It is a hittie early for this country to re- jax its coast defenses. Admiral Camara is not precisely formidable, but he 1s very erratic. ——_++2-___ This is a government by the people, and Admiral Schiey can go straight to head- quarters for his recognition. ———__+ ++ __ Seven Murderers at Large. According to the latest statement of miss- ing murderers for whom the Washington police are now searching there are seven of them now at large, whose crimes hav2 been committed within the past three years, and whose absence has caused the local detec- tives no end of trouble and embarrassmant. Frank Funk, the latest addition to the band of fugitives, is as completely out of sight as though he never existed. The others, according to the statement mentioned, are the celebrated Dorsey Foultz, the unknown slayer of Shoemaker Hall, Lucien Johnson, “Tootsey” Dudley, Frank Heideman and Thomas Fitzgerald. Perhaps thers are oth- ers. These seven, however, are entirely sufficient to cause concern. The lst is too large, the crimes too ssrious. It will never do to permit the people of this city and the criminal classes of all communities to reach the conclusion that the Washington police are unable to capture a murderer unless they find him red-handed. Yet there is much to give point to such a reproach. Except the capture of ths negro who killed Elsie Kreglo practically no successful de- tective work has been accomplished here within sevaral years in capital cases, save where the criminal has been caught at his work. It Is true, indeed, that the force ts small and has not been increased in propor- tion to the growing demands of the city. Yet this fact is not sufficient to excuse fall- ures in the purely detective work of the Police, where there is no striking deficiency in mere numbers. The lack of sufficiznt pa- trolmen may handicap the force somewhat in making immediate captures, but it has never yet interfered with the work of as- sembling what are oft2n satirically desig- nated by the observant public as “clues.” Mention is occasionally made in behalf of the police that there is not a sufficient fund at hand for the offering of rewards for the capture of escap2d prisoners or criminals. Yet this does not excuse the lack of detec- tive talents such as have been known in other communities to obviate largely the ne2d of bribe and reward money. Assured- ly this fund should be larger, but its small- ness cannot forever excuse the repeated failures of the police to apprehend the men who take human lifs and evade capture. Frank Funk's guilt seems today as clear as though it were confessed. His movements have been traced to a certain point, and there they are lost. This knowledg> indi- cates that had less time been lost in insti- tuting an immediate investigation of the case Into its minutest details, had not the ridiculous theory of suicide ben enter- tained for several hours, the suspicion of Funk's guilt might have been developed early enough to permit his capture. But whatever may have be2n the cause of this escape, whatever the causes in the six other cases, the fact remains that there are now seven murd:rers at large from Washing- ton, a proportion of escapes to captures dangerously and scandalously large, that is causing critical comment here and else- where and detracting from the confidence of the citizens in th2 efficiency of its police force.

If the Senate qusstions the existence of a chang- ing popular feeling in respect to that nation let it note the rec2ption given to the Cana- dian militia visitors at Burlington, Vt., a typical expression of sentiment which will not be cooled at all by the recognition given to Independence day in London. ——+ +e—____ Senator White’s Threat, From the New York Mail and Express.
