Imperialism Must Be Defined. Senator Jones of Arkansas continues to raise his voice against imperialism. He sounded a similar note while Congress was in session. But he is no ciearer in his ex- ylanation now than he was then, unless t may be assumed that he regards the an- nexation of Hawali, which he cpposed, as the first step in the new and dangerous di- rection, and that the annexation of Porto Rico when carried out will be the second step. Why should the annexation of Hawaii and Porto Rico by the United Stares be accepted as evidence of the inauguration of a policy of sweeping conquest—of imperial- ism? The country’s purposes with regard 10 both possessions are clearly defined. Hawali is to serve the double purpose of aiding in the better protection of our Pacific coast and of contributing to our control of the Pacific end of the Nicaragua canal. Porto Rico wil serve as a base for our control of the Atlantic end of the anal. Besides, as Spain must leave the western hemisphere, Porto Rico must find a new home, and it is naturally within the sphere of American influence. Senator Jones is in favor of the Nica- ragua canal, and so is the democratic party. The party ts formally committed to the project. But why advocate the canal and at the same time oppose the acquisition of territory absolutely essential to its per- fect control and satisfactory operation? The canal is to be an American institution of world-wide importance, and American control must be complete. These deliverances of Senator Jones are to be read in the light of the fact that he Is chairman of the democratic uatfonal committee. Does he speak for the com- mittee? Is the ery of anti-imperialism to be raised by the democracy in this year’s Congress campaigns? If so, some definiticn that will define must go with the term. The people will want to know, and be justi- fied in a demand to know, precisely what is meant by imperialism by those who insist that the country must not enter upon uch a policy. What is the danger, and where is It? The cou has indorsed the ac- quisition of Hawaii, and there is no doubt about what its decision will be respecting Porto Rico. Where docs genuine imperial- ism begin? —___+--2______ Camp Alger's Epidemic.

The water rrassing even when the District troops were the only ones on the ground. Wells were dug immediately, but these yielded only a small supply. When the camp filled-up and thousands were liv- ing on the site the problem became serious. The water supply was in such close prox- imity to the living quarters of this large army of men that it was merely a matter of days or weeks before it should be con- taminated. The first principles of hygiene teach this. It is not to be accepted from the prevalence of the disease that the site of the camp {is normally unhealthy. The typhoid fever did not spring spontaneously from the soil, but was in all likelihood im- ported from some other camp. Soldiers fell camps with this dis- ease, and it was in that manner carried to the various concentration points chosen by the government.

United States must view she Philip- ines as a factor in the making of peace rictly from the American point of view. Their disposition is to be considered solely as it affects the American situation, and material betterments or injuries an institutions, political and com- mercial. We are under no obligations to take Spain into consid ation. Whatever she May suf- fer there now or in the future is a part of the penaity of war. We are under no obligation so far as the Philippines are concerned to any European will not be expected to injure or ourselves to serve any one of them, even England Until Dewey is heard from a positive statemen concerning our relations with nnot be made, but it is not be- iat there ig any agreement or un- jerstanding whatsoever concerning the substitution for Spanish rule in the islands of a Malay government with Aguinaido at ts head. When our war with Spain broke yut the United States found its enemy at odds with the dwellers upon this large group of islands. The rebeilion had, how- over, come to a temporary standstill. it was a drawn battle. Spain had been una- ble to put down the insurgents by force of arms. and had resorted to craft to win a cessaiion of the strife. She bribed Agui- naldo and the other leaders and promised certain reforms to the people of the Philip- pines. These promises were not made to be kept and had not been kept, and the in- surgeat leaders had in this failure of con- sideration a pretext to resume the struggle. The United States as a war measure put arms and ammunition in their hands and the Philippine revolt assumed more threat- ening proportions than ever before. The United States aided the insurgents not only by giving them supplies, but also by destroying Spain’s navy in the Philip- pines, which had been the principal factor in the maintenance of Spanfsh control, and by blockading her chief port and cutting off reinforcements and food supplies. Thus the republic weakened Spain and strength- ened the insurgents, and if we should with- draw from the Philippines today we would leave the insurgents in far better shape to exact advantageous terms from Spain than when before our intervention nearly a mil- lion in money and fervent promises of re- fcrm were tendered by Spain. In order to buy them off we should not b2 abandoning to their bard fate inoffensive and unso- pkisticated Malays whom we had deluded into an uprising against their masters, only to cast them aside when they had served our purposes. It does not appear that Aguinaldo has yet been of special service to us, ‘and there are indications that he is becoming a threat- ening rather than a co-operating force. But in any event our obligation to him would doubtless be repaid by our strength- ening of his army and weakening of Spain, which have encouraged him to declare hirrself dictator. We have not become sponsor for the insurgents or for their future. Nor has the course of events served to establish any degree of Ameri- can responsibility for the ultimate political reiations of the natives to the rest of the world. Unless we think it to our interest to do s+ we are therefore under no obligations to annex the islands and conquer Aguinaldo and his army in oraer to extend to the Philippines the blessings of American civ- ilization. Unless we please to do so we are under no obligations to set up and guarantee Malay self-government in these islands. Whether the United States with- draws from the Philippines and turns them over to Spain or to the natives or to European powers, or whether it retains and occupies them in their entirety for co- lonial purgeses or fractionally for strate- gic, naval and commercial purposes, the decision should be based solely upon con- sideration of what the republic’s best in- terests demand. Our policy should be to gain all we can of naval and commercial advantage, while burdening ourselves with as little as possible of political and gov- erning responsibility in another hemis- phere than our own. Regulate the Ash Carts. The superintendent of street cleaning rightly calls attention in his annual report to the need of reform in the method of re- moving ashes and ‘similar refuse from resi- dences and business estaishments. This city is variously striving’ to improve its condition, seeking more thorough means of street cleaning, more modern and scientific methods of garbage and sewage collsction and disposal, mcre complete pelice and fire protection, more efficient food inspection, and in many other ways is tending steadily and surely toward the ideal of municipal man- agement that should prevail at the capital city of this nation. It se2ms incongruous, therefore, that no check should be placed upon the reckless and promiscuous hauling of ashes and other like materials through the streets, not only littering them with droppings, but offending the principles of cleanliness in other ways. The average ash art is a ramshackle affair, barely self- sustaining, a patchwork of wires and odds and ends of boards, disreputable in appear- ence and inefficient in service. The ashes are usually handied in a careless manner, the air is filled with dust and odors, and the dumping is by no means always in accord- ance with the rules of health or the local regulations. Unsigh offend the eye in the less densely populated sections, wherever convenient sunken areas invite the deposit of all manner of trash, which is forthwith raked over by scaven- gers for the pitiful spoils of the back lots. No safe estimate is to be placed upon the degree of danger that this decidedly anti- quated method of disposal involves. Were the refuse composed solely of ashes the case would not be so bad, but the average do- mestic “ash barrel” is a receptacle for all manner of discarded materials, often con- taminated with disease germs and capable of such deterioration as to give rise to un- wholesome influences. Some modern com- munities have attacked this problem as worth. of as deep thought as that which has been bestowed upon the garbage ques- tion. Remedies have been applied and the case is found to be,readily regulated, Strict rules for the handling of all sorts of do- mestic waste are required, but above all the means of final disposition should be closely and scizntifically studied and the hauling $s must be lly attended to as those which the garbage and the nings from t Ultimately the hould undertake this work just as it should undertake all other forms of mu- nicipal endeavor, such as the cleaning of the streets and the coliection and treatment of the garbage. Until that event, however, the corps ef volunteer ash collectors should assuredly be placed under some sort of re- strictfon as to their carts and their methods. It will not do to be particular in one branch of the municipal housekeeping and slovenly in another. ———_ = —____ ‘The activity of the pugilists is not un- important as a sign of the times.

On the morning of the day when the Coptic arrived with the news of Hawaii's absorption an expedition put forth from Honolulu, dispatched by the government to locate two small guano islands in the ex- treme northwest corner of the Hawaiian group and to take possession of them in the nr me of the republic of Hawaii. These islands are named Norell and Byre, but have never been definitely placed on the map, being approximately indicated by ty- pographers with the symbol “PD,” meaning “position doubtful.” It is not certain that any tiace of them will be found by the explorers, for they may be mere reefs or atolls that have been swallowed by the sea since their first location by some pass- ing Voyager. If they exist they assuredly belong to the Hawailan system and are probably valuable only for their guano. However the expedition may result, the enterprise shows that the Hawaiians were eager to turn over a complete assortment of islands to the United States when the latter should appear with a demand for possession. There were to be no broken lots in the case. The process of annexa- tion of Norell and Byre by Hawaii and of Hawaii by the United States savors of the THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1898-12 PAGES. traditional experience of anglers who claim to have caught large fish that have just swallowed smaller fish.

A Distinction, “Isn’t that new neighbor of yours rather eccentric?” inquired the commercial trav- eler. “No,” answered one of the village's prominent citizens. “He ain't rich enough to be called ‘eccentric.’ He's just a plain crank.” Melting. “Will nothing melt your heart?” cried he, A suitor in distress. “Alas, I have my fears,” sighed she; “This weather will, I guess.” A Neglected Leader. “That goes to show,” said the man who rolis his trousers up and wears a monocle, “how urpopular the royal family is in Spain. I didn’t believe such absolute in- difference is possible.” “What are you talking about?” “The way those peopie refuse to follow the fashicn. Here’s a member of the royal family down with the measles and not an- other case reported in Spanish society.” Personal Magnetism. “Do you think that young actor has the personal magnetism—the convincing qual- ity—which the successful actor must pos- sess?” “I am gure of it,” replied Mr. Storming- ton Barnes without a moment's hesitation. “He's the only man who was ever able to get two weeks’ salary from me in ad- vance.”” Not the Whole Truth. The Spanish citizen who was eager for a little genuine news dismounted from his bicycle and approached the press censor. “What's the matter with those naval officers who went away from here some time ago?” he inquired bluntly. “Aren't they coming back?” “Oh, yes,” was ihe answer. “They are all right. Merely delayed by a few punc- tures, that’s all.” A Hint to a Musician. Let no haughty impulse bristle, Agutnaldo of the isle, Though you have a golden whistle And a chance to put on style.

They would train you like a poodle, ‘When your pride has met its fall; So stick to ankee Doodle. That’s the safest tune of all. ———_~+ 0 The Indorsement of Sewall Should Carry Little Weight. San Francisco Corr. New York ‘Tribune. In regard to the new government of the islands, everything is still uncertain, but it is certain the most influential men of Hawaii are not in the American Union perty, which is backing Minister Harold Sewall for the first governor of the terri- tory. The men who made the fight for annexation have not shown their hand, but if President Dole does not care to have the place, these men will recommend some one of a half dozen representative leaders. This is a view of the situation given by a prominent Hawaiian resident, who does not care to have his name used. He de- clares positively that the American Union party indorsemeat of Sewall should carry ttle weight with President McKinley, as that party is largely made up of clerks and employes, whose political influence is small, and who represent no large inter- ests. Se The Governor of Hawaii. From the Boston Herald. There has been 2 general opinion in this country that Presigent Dole of the late Hawaiian government would be the first Rovernor of the islands in their United States possession. Mr. Dole has the repu- tation ef a man of geod ability, and he ras demonstrated administrative talent by the tanner in which he has acted in his office. It appears, however, that Mr. Haro:d M. Sewall, our late minister to Hawaii, is intriguing fer the governorship. He has cavsed word to be cent home that he has the indorsement of “the leading,men of Honolulu” for it. If Mr. Sewall has con- veyed the impressicn at Honolulu that our people want one of their number to All ?t, we think he has deceived them. Public opinion here would prefer Mr. Dole for several reasons, one of which is his famil- iarity with affairs pertaining to. govern- ment in those possessions. 2 7 oe The Hawaiians Are All Right. From the Cincinnati Enquirer. A contemporary which doesn’t know how to gracefully fall into the march of events sneers at the news that the formality of annexing tl Hawaiian Islands is to be celebrated with fireworks, brass bands and chorus singing. ‘These are three joys,” It says, “for which an Hawaiian would not only desert his flag, but—if obtainable in no other way—would even work.” The Ha- waiians are all right. Even those who were claimed to be attached to the mon- archy have enthusiastically welcomed an- nexation to the United States. The occa- sion is one amply justifying fireworks and music. It has been shown lately that the United States made even a better bargain than was claimed in the annexation of the islands. There is not the slightest indica- tion of friction. The Hawaiians have es- caped an unhappy thraldom. They have acted as wisely and patriotically as our revolutionary fathers did when they aban- doned the British flag. ——_—_ +e -__ The Price of Good Gunnery. From Life. From the standpoint of Mr. Cunningham- Graham, English gunners come high. Five hundred doilars a week seems a star price to pay, particularly when work is uncer- tain, and a gunner might loaf around for a long time before putting in an hour's hard work destroying another fleet. At the st.me time, the price is perhaps not exces- sive when the speculative value of the services is considered. It is a pity, however, that the parliament eculd find no for Mr. ham-Graham's assertion, because, if it were really true, we might have a chance to reciprocate if England should get into trouble. Based on Mr. Cunningham-Gra- ham’s figures, our price to John Bull for American g:mners in an emergency need not necessarily be more than a hundred thousand dollars a day. 2 0 Competition im Sea Serpents.
