The Porto Rico Campaign. United States troops are now en route to Porto Rico, and if reasonable expectations are realized that island within a few weeks will be under American control. This cam- paign differs from the Cuban campaign in that it is distinctly in the interests of ter- ritorial expansion. To drive Spain out of Cuba and leave her with all of her per- nici influences still in possession of Porto Rico would, it is now generally rec- ognized, de a serious mistake. Hence, the purpose to drive her away from this side of the Atlantic altogether, so that when the flag goes up over Porto Rico the un- erstandiag is that it will remain up, and steps will be taken to establish permanent American government there. The !sland posses great strategic value, and the United States in pursuance of its purposes will be much the richer for possessing it. The “anti-imperialist’ may be expected now to enlarge upon his theme. Porto Rico affords him a good text, and if he knows his business he ought to be able to create quite a little stir among those who, like himself, fear that the country is head- irg for smash. Mr. Justice Brewer of the Supreme Court, in an interview at Milwaukee yesterday, expressed himself on the subject from the anti-Imperialist standpoint. He spoke of Cuba, the Philippines and of Porto Rico, but his observations, without misjudging him at all, can be applied to any of the three colories singly. He said therefore with respect to Porto Rico that the United States can only hope to hold it by fore, and that such government ts repugnant to American professions and traditions. Does not Judge Brewer err in this? Porto Rico will be taken by force, but doe< that argue that force will be nece: ry always to hold it? We shall not even take it from the Porto Ricans by force, but from Spar- tsh soldiers from the peninsula, without personal stake in the island, and who are there merely to fight under orders from Madrid. But when the island comes under American contro! and begins to feel the in- fluence of American government, are not the people likely. certain, indeed, to ap- Prove of and greatly benefit by the change? Shall they feel any other force than that necessary to lift them out of an ol? and a foul rut up to a plane of good local govern- ment and progress? It belittles the United States say that it cannot hold Porto Rico pt by force. There are fewer difficulties involved the American acquisition than must be confronted in the case of eny other of Spain's colonies. The is!and i hin the sphere of American influence, and easily accessible. Its is not hampered by the in its limits of many milions to in of Porto Rico mixed, barbarous and turbulent na- tives. No self-denying declarations have been made in respect to it. It is small, comp: Ithful in climate, rich in soil and admirably situated for control of one of the main approaches to an isthmian ca- nal. In the ussion concerning it te “anti-tmperialist™ is, as in the case of H4- waii, disarmed of many of his weapons. ——~e-____ Washington’s War-Time Prosperity. The interviews with Washington's repre- sentative business men that are being pub- lished from day to day in The Star reflect @ gratifying state of local trade. Wash- ington is evidently enjoying a summer of eaceptional prosperity. The reasons are variously estimated. Some dealers believe that the war is the prime cause, stimulat- ing certain branches of trade directly and others indirectly as a result of the extra- ordinary circulation of money spent in military equipments. Others believe that the war operates to attract an unusual number of people to Washington at this season, to observe the conduct of the cam- paign at headquarters, to attend to per- al affairs and for other reasons. ¥et again other merchants think that this sea- son of good times results from general conditions, brought about by the rejection of the free coinage propositions of the democrats and the populists and the grad- ual revival of industry and trade under the operations of the Dingiey tariff law. Others again believe that this upward ten- dency ts the logical consequence of a re- action from the depression of a few years ago. Whatever the causes it Is plain that Washington's midsummer of 1898 is by no means the commercial calm that the hot season {s usually considered by trade. More people are in employment, more are con- sequently buying, there is therefore more m in circulation. These prime condi- tions always reflect success in business and in consideration of the extraordinary fac- ters now operating it is not strange that the capital city should enjoy its season of presperity. The continued success of the American arms on land and sea may be regarded as one of the-chief elements in the case. These victories overcome the natural handicap of war on trade, neutral- izing the apprehensions of all buyers and compensating for the shutting off in large measure of the foreign ports that afford such a rich harvest to shippers in peaceful times. —_>-+2e—____ Richard Croker disapproves of racing methods in Great Britain. Mr. Croker has been so used to running the game to suit himself that he may have become hard to please. —_++e—____ In congratulating the country on the ap- pointment of Southern men to the army, Mr. Bryan does not refer to the tact that President McKinley is under obligations to the South for several votes last election. —_——_++e—__. The willingness of Santiago shop-keepers to accept American money is a touching condescension. —_> + + ____ Urban and Suburban Cars. The suit filed yesterday by the Bright- wood Railroad Compeny against the Met- ropolitan involves considerations of local Importance. The law's mandate in the ease is piain. An act relating to the Met- ropolitan company approved August 2, 1894, authorizes and requires that company to enter into reciprocal trackage arrange- ments with connecting roads upon the com- pletion of its underground equipment, and further extends the same requirement to include alt other street railways in the Dis- trict whose lines connect or may hereafter connect. In addition the appropriation bill signed June 11, 1896, provided that “any suburban street railroad company in the District of Columbia intersecting or con- necting with any urban street railroad may have such reasonable number of its trail cars drawn by such urban street railroad, over the route of such urban street rail- road, as shall not, in the judgment of {1 Supreme Court of the District of Columt.a, be to the undue detriment of such urban street railroad company.” Other provisions relative to the same subject follow. It is thus to be seen that Congress bas latd down a policy of adjusting the urban and suburban systems of rapid transit upon a harmonious basis, and it remains with the courts to interpret the law and carry it into effect as far as the companies in- volved nay desire, and as the public inter- ests demand. Thus far these laws have been a dead letter, no company caring to | claim the privileges bestowed. In the case now in court there was some question at one time as to whéther the two roads in question ‘ntersected or connected, in ac- cordance with the terms of the statutes, tut recen’ improvements on the part of the Metropolitan set these doubts at rest. In other cases it would doubtless remain for the court to decide as to what constitutes the connection or intersection of two lines. What the Washington people are anxious to know is whether by the future local policy the suburban cars will be permitted to be run into the heart of the city or are to be kept at the end of their respective lines, whi'e their passengers are compelled te pay additional fares to reach their city destinations. The laws cited are obviously intended io avoid this latter alternative. If the suburban cars are admitted in large numbers to the city tracks the prob- lem will be to avoid the evil of serious con- gestion of travel on the tracks, while car- ing adequately for the interests of the su- burban pessengers, who should not be put to the bu den of extra fares, and perhaps not to th t of free transfers, though the latter syst2m offers some obvious advanta- ges. The pending case attracts the close attention of those who hove to see Wash- ington continue along the path of progress toward an ideal rapid transit system that will meet all demands with a minimum of } annoyance and danger. See The Cubans at Santiago. It is suggested in some of the correspond- ence from Santiago that if the American people had enjoyed fuller information about the insurgents they would not have given them their sympathies so completely in their revolt against Spain. The American people, it is safe to say, are not going to plead the baby act in this matter. At the time they were declaring them worthy of independence they had a very clear idea of the kind of men who had taken the fleld in Cuba to fight for freedom. They knew their history, their antecedents, and all that had operated to make them fierce hat- ers and impatient of restraint. They have not been gulled. They did not expect Gen- eral Garcia to present himself in General Shafter's camp with troops thoroughly drilled and equipped and ready for the most effective co-operation with the United States forces. They knew that to be im- possible. The insurgents are not saints. They are precisely what years of Spanish oppression have made them. Spain is responsible for every objectionable quality they possess. But their merit is that at last they had the courage to rebel, and to seek to establish by force a better order of things. It was that which attracted the attention and won the sympathy of the people of tne United States, and it is that which gives assurance that when Spanish power—justly so hate- ful in their eyes—is destroyed in Cuba, and the men who have been enforcing Spanish edicts there return to Spain, they will, un- der American tutelage and encouragement, readily adapt themselves to the building up of the island under the improved condi- tions. Disparaging remarks are made about the appearance of the rank and file of the in- surgents. After three years of bush fight- ing in the mountains and swamps of east- ern Cuba, on starvation rations and against a powerful foe, would any men be present- able to the eye? And if some of General Garcia's men manifested a desire to enter Santiago for loot was that in any measure different from the disposition of the Span- ish soldiers who actually did loot the town before the Americans entered? The Cubans are entitled to fair play and a just judgment. The American people are not going to condemn them on first close acquaintance in circumstances calculated to show them to least advantage. They are much better men than those who have been persecuting them, and more to be de- sired as neighbors and friends. 2 0 Zola in Exile. Emile Zola’s flight to Switzerland to es- cape punishment for libel puts a new phase upon this most interesting and rapidly com- plicating case. He stands convicted of hbel, after a second trial, and ts sentenced to pay a heavy fine and to be imprisoned for one year. He evades both items by going to Luzerne, which is a traditional refuge for offenders of all sorts. There is no likelihood of extradition, as the laws of Switzerland do not permit the return of criminals t> the land of their conviction save for certain exceptional offenses, ap- parently not including that of libel. Zola is not a political fugitive in the strict sense of the word, for he was charged with li- beling the members of a court-martial, and thus the action was in a broad sense per- sonal and not governmental, despite the fact that the ministry was primarily inter- ested in securing his conviction. It now re- mains for the stability of French resent- ment to determine the length of this dis- tinguished author's exile. France's fickle- ness may display itself anew in a reaction toward Zola, which has been threatened now and again at various stages of a prose- cution which closely resembles persecution in foreign eyes. But thus far the govern- ment has managed to preserve its hold on the sympathies of the people. Zola may be expected to maintain from his refuge a characteristic campaign in behalf of Drey- fus. Indeed, his present immunity from ar- rest may lead him to even more determined efforts to secure the retrial of the unfor- tunate captain who is suffering a living death on Devil's Island. No end of the Dreyfus scandal is yet in sight —_——_> + =____ The clam diggers of Little Neck threaten to form a trust.

But there is no excuse for trying to convey the impression that the American public ts much obilged to him. — +. ____ ‘The Spanish people have begun to realize that a wounded honor is sometimes less annoying than an empty stomach. ———~++2—_____ Hawail’s Flag. On the last day of the recent session of the Hawalian legislature an effort was made to secure the passage of a resolution expressive of the desire of Hawaii that the national flag and great seal be preserved after annexation by the United States. The lower house passed the resolution, but it was tabled in the senate, 11 to 1. It was recognized that such an enactment would | have no other effect than as a request and | that in its disposition of the affairs of Ha- wail the United States would in no wise be compelled to regard it further than as sen- Ument and politeness might suggest. The | action of the senate of course puts an end to the agitation as regards legislative in- itiative, yet the question may yet arise in connection with the adjustment of the af- | fairs of the two republics in the act of | Union. The Hawailan flag is a combination of the British and American. The body of the ensign is composed of red, white and blue stripes, arranged in that order | from the bottom upward, three of each but | the blue, of which there are two. The field is a reproduction of the Briush Union Jack, and thus the dominant elements in the for- eign population of the islands are repre- ‘| sented in the flag. When Hawaii is taken into the body politic of this union this flag ceases to exist as an independent emblem of international status and the flag of the islands will be the stars ana stripes. States of the American union often maintain flags, and territorial banners are on record. | There is no law against this custom, nor is there any national cognizance of it, nor official recognition of the existence of state flags. State seals are recognized in the law, being appended to official documents and conveying the highest symbol of the state's action. In Hawali’s case doubt- less some arrangement may be made to permit the islands to retain their flag and seal, and there will probably be no difficulty in satisfying the desires of the newly an- nexed citizens in this respect, especially as their petition, if it be made, will in no sense reflect upon their straightforward patriot- ism and loyaity to their new allegiance. ——__ + += —____ Spanish Ships to Carry the Prisoners. There are reasons for both regret and satisfaction in the decision of the gov- ernment to award to the Spanish line of steamers the corttract for taking the sol- diers surrendered at Santiago back to Spain. While it would have been gratifying to have the large sum spent in this enter- prise paid to American companies, or at least to those of English-speaking people, the acceptance of the Spanish line's bid makes it practically certain that there will be no trouble at the eastern end of the route when’ the prisoners are disembarked on their native soil. This problem would therefore seem to be in fair way of settle- ment, and inasmuch as it 1s reported as having vexed the administration materially since the surrender It {s clearly to be seen that the Spanish line's offer was a stroke of good fortune. The bid is low, not as low as some of the others, to be sure, yet low enough to be reasonable and safe. Its acceptance affords another of the many anomalies that this war has developed. ——— - +0 eo —___ Governor Black's friends are anxiously waiting to learn whether his is the “au- dacity of genius” or merely the ordinary evanescent brand of assurance so common in polities. —___ + +e —____ The fact that Spain has sent Cervera $50,000 Is likely to cause an unprecedented flurry in Annapolis financial circles. ——_—__e ____ Under the circumstances there is not likely to be much “Home, Sweet Home” sentiment among deported Spaniards. a SHOOTING STARS. An Explanation. “How dared you surrender?” fiercely in- quired the Spanish general's superior officer. “It was purely an accident,” was the humble answer. “Nothing was further from my intentions when they asked me if I would surrender, and of course I didn’t think of telling them the truth. And I'm blest if they didn’t take me at my word and make themselves at home before I knew what had happened.” Faith. “Have you any faith in the sea serpent story?" asked the tourist. “Weil,” replied the landlord, “I used to have, but it doesn’t seem to attract people ny more. I guess we'll have to think up mething else. An Unsuitable Toy. The grand old ‘“‘Watch upon the Rhine” Still suffers no neglect; And at its tones grave men incline > Their heads in true respect. But consternation’s shadow lurks And protests deep resound When Wilhelm dallies with the works To see the wheels go round. Not to Be Expected. “What has become of that drop of thirty degrees in temperature?” inquired the per- spiring citizen. ; “The one that I predicted was coming ficm Chicago?’ asked the New York weather prophet. “Yes, sir. You sald it was due last night.” “It was due. But you wouldn't expect a town like Chicago to give up anything as valuable as a cold wave, would you?” Discouragin; When Zola started out to write He shocked the public mind. They called his stories impolite And very unrefined. And yet their eager minds he wrought To an uncommon pitch; And everything he wrote was bought. They straightway made him rich. But as the years came on he tired Of all his naughty ways; A little share he now desired Of honest, thoughtful praise. For justice and his fellow men With strength that did not fail All fearlessly he strove. And then They put him into jail. ed Fear of Yellow Fever Exaggerated. From the New O:leans Times-D.moe-at. Twenty years ago had the people of the south been polled as to the destructive and deadly power of yellow fever and of ty- phoid fever, as they were then, yellow fever would have been almost gnanimously yoted as much the more destructive and deadly disease of the two. Today the vote would be the other way. It must be ob- served that we are not comparing the yel- low fever as it was twenty years ago with typhoid fever in respect of their killing ability; it 1s the so-called yellow fever as we saw it and heard of it in these parts jast year and this year that we gre com- paring with typhoid fever in their lethal capacity. And we have no hesitation in saying that the so-called yellow fever of last year and this year does not begin to compete with typhoid fever in swelling the death rate. The attack of typhoid tever which is now afflicting the camp at Chichamauga is justly far more dreaded than the outbreak of so-called yellow fever among the Ameri- ean and Spanish troops at Santiago, and is certain to make greater additions to the mortality. —---_+ ¢-# ____ Germany Begins to See. From the Boston Glcbe. It looks as if what Germany really de- sires is & strategic base in the Phitippines from which to carry out her designs upon China. If so, she is playing a dishonest, as well as highly offensive, game. She bas been on the point of getting soundly cuffed by Dewey, and should lose no more time in realizing that Manila is a blockaded port, subject alone to the discretion of the com: manding admiral in matters touching the behavior of foreign warships. Judging by latest advices from Manila, she is bogin- ning to sense the situation. —_— seo Titles. From the San Francisco Bulletin. If this were Engiand there would be sev- eral very notable additions to our house of peers just about now. Along with the “Earl of Manila, on plain George Dewey, there would be “Lord Shafter of Santiaga” and “Viscount Schley,” with # seat warming also for Miles, “Baron of Porto Rico.” = —<——_—_ That Much-Maligned Board. From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat. An appreciative word is due the naval strategy board. The destruction of the Spanish navy within three months without a ship damaged on our side is a greater achievement than the country hoped for. Good Government for Cuba. From the New York Tribune. Good government for Cuba ts what the | President promised three months ago, and that is what he has ordered to be begun at | Santiago, regardless of Cuban hopes or Spanish fears. SAE A Floating Debt.
