6 FHE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST §, 1898-12 PAGES. = THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY.........Augast_3, 1893. CROSBY S. NOYES.. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation uch more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. Ax a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. &7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of person: ence, letters to should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose.

Ex-Congressman Luther McKinney, originally a New Hamp- shire man, but now a resident of the first Maine district, fs In the fleld as the d>mo- ic nominee for Congress, and the coun- has been asked to look for something in the nature of a campaign. But Mr. Reed has not heard anything about it. He congratulates th> district and the coun- try on the “dearth of political feeling” everywhere manifest. He regards it as a good sign, and will do nothing himself to disturb the peaceful conditior He will make no campaign. Evid:ntly, then, if there is to be a campaign in the district Mr. McKinney must proceed singlehanded, and that insures no fun for anybody. But in iaking his re-election for granted— and he is entirely justified in doing that— era try Mr. Reed not enly dispo: easily of the other side, but saves himself at this ‘ime from some definite expression on the sub- Ject of imperialism. It is not unfair from the little he has said on the subject to class Bim with Mr, Clevzland, Mr. Bryan, Mr. Jones of Arka! and Mr. Baile His phrase, “Empire can wait," has been quoted of by the acquisition of any this country whatever. to disapprove island territory He was opposed to the war with Spain. He fought, with all the means h> could com- wand, the annexation of Hawail. He says pe problems after the war will t troublesome, and will demand the most earnest efforts of us all. For my part, I hope that all tase problems may be worked out consistently with our time-hon- ered and dearly-bought institutions, and with the traditions of our wise forefa- thers.” This is not more definite than the utter- ance of Mr. Jones of Arkansas on the same subject. Hawali has annexed, and Porte Rico is to become American terri- tory. If independent government falls in Cuba that island also must come under Americar dominion. All of this is in viola- tion of what Mr. Reed and the democratic leaders who agre2 with him consider to be “the traditions of our wise forefathers.” But what do they propose?

Public comment shows that the President, in his negotiations for peace, has acted wisely in reserving the question of the Philippine Islands for separate considera- tion. It is a many-sided question, and pre- sents difficulttes on all sides. Opinion ranges all the way from annexation out- right, as has been decided in the case of Porto Rico, to relinquishment to Spain again after the United States shall have re- served for itself an, adequate base for a coaling and naval station. Between these >» extremes are many suggestions of or le erest. The President's pol- icy insures that due consideration shall be given to whole matter, and therein it recommends itself to public approval. ‘Two propositions, however, seem thor- oughly well established. (2) The question is to be decided without intervention from any foreign quarter. The parties first in imterest are the United States and Spain. The same reasons which have prevailed to forbid European counsel been through those in authority, indorsement, lev mot or dictation in the matter of the war will prevail to keep Europe silent during the negotiations for peace. Her aid has not been sought, nor will {t be, and the proffer of it ald be ive. No misunder- standing on this score seems to be possible. As the Un! ates is the victor it will dictate the terms of peace and do so in {ts own interests. It will be justified in putting its interests above all other inter- occasion calls for the exercise of selfishness.~ The first of the duty United States is to itself.

Meantime, Europe, may expected although uninvited, to discuss the subject quite freely. Her views are already fairly well known. She would be glad to have a finger in the pie, but seems to understand that that Is impossible. Her speculation on the subject therefore need not be dis- turbing on this side of the water, nor need be we guide by it at all in what we may do. Adherence to the simple proposition that the business in hand is of the greatest con- cern to the United States and must be set- tled to the advantage of this country is all that is necessary. —__~+e The queen regent can rest assured that as a mother and as a woman.she com- manés consideration among the people of this country.

The approach of p renders it pos- and necessary that the official in- quiries into the various blunders charged ageinst military and medical officers of the army should be pressed promptly before tife lapse of weeks or months has removed many of the sources of reliable informa- tion. The steps taken yesterday by the army medi department to probe the Santiago situation ought to bring the facts soon to light. Meanwhile the Camp Alger case demands attention, while Florida seems to furnish more than one rich field for similar official inquiries, relating to the medical, commissary and quartermas- ter services of the army during the con- centration period. Doubtless many of the troubles in the handling of the troops were due to the inexperience of the volunteer Officers, who were suddenly thrust into Positions of responstbility. Certainly, the jack of proper facilities, caused by the emergency methods of Congress in dealing with the fighting arm of the nation, is to be blamed for some of the friction and de- lay and consequent suffering. It was im- possible to assemble in the brief period granted by the legislative powers and by events all the essential appurtenances for carrying the war into the enemy's country. ‘Transport fleets bad to be secured and or- ganized in great haste, and many make- shifts were necessarily involved. Occa- sionally troops were excusably put upon short allowance, for the government was confronted with the necessity of dispatch and was without immediate means for meeting the full demands in equipment. But these make-shifts and emergencies are apert from the deficiencies caused by the lack of organization and discipline, and the failure of officers of various depart- ments to avail themselves fully of the sup- plies at hand, and to appreciate the need of caring assiduously for their charges. If there were abundant commissary and medical stores on the supply ships near Santiago, and the troops were suffering for their lack, the man or men whose in- difference, incompetence or ignorance stood as a barrier to their’use ought to be found and punished. If there were proper trans- ports for hospital purposes available and ships without decent facilities were used in their stead, the blunderer should likewise be discovered. If through somebody’s error or oversight these things were not at hand when they should have been those respon- sible for the omission must be brought to beck. For a country of small resources ‘to neglect the necessities of warfare is per- heaps excusable, for but for this nation, with its limitless riches, its overflowing patriotism, its abundance of genius for organization and administration, to fail so palpably in a crisis is a disgrace that must be atoned and its future repetition pre- vented beyond peradventure. west PFS The United States at Paris. The New York Tribune seys: “Mr. Ferdinand Peck makes the pleas- ing prephecy that notwithstanding a iim- ited ameunt of money and of space the United States will be better represented at the Paris Exposition than at any other similar exhibition in Europe. We are will- ing to believe Mr. Peck, who has done things in Chicago that go to show his talent as an organizer and a pusher. The year 1900 will be a good time for the United States to make a gcod showing in Europe.” It is true that the Paris Exposition will afford the United States an exceptionally valuable advertising medium, and it is to be hoped that the opportunity may be fully improved. The affair will be on a very large anc elaborate scale. They order those things well in France. And interest in the United States and its progress and pos- sessions and possibilities was never so great as it is now. The country by this war with Spain has been lifted into a new sphere of consideration abroad, and com- mands admiration in every quarter. Even the people who do not like us because of a strong rivalry and our growing importance do not attempt now to deny us a place in the front rank of the nations. The Amer- ican exhibit at’ Paris in 1900, therefore, will be assured of full reward for the efforts put forth. When the proposition for an appropria- tion by Congress for the Paris show was under consideration last spring, a note of objection was here and there sounded be- cause of the attitude of France with re- spect to the war. There were those who thought that the United States ought to cut the exposition on account of France's sympathy for Spain. The Star took the opposite view, and held that as the matter was of a practical business nature it ought to be decided on that basts; that the United States, for the reason offered, could not afford not to be properly represented at Paris in company with all of its rivals for the world’s business. Congress voted the appropriation on the line of that argument. Since then sentiment in France toward the United States has undergone some change. At any rate there is less open criticism of this government for its course toward Spain, and we have accepted the French Ambassador at this capital as the medium of communication with Spain on the subject of peace. So that the situation is much improved, and warrants an exhibit at Paris commensurate with the resources of the country. The United States has a very great deal to show. It is purely a business proposition, and if the occasion is improved in a business-like way, substan- tial business results are certain to follow to the whole country. ——_—_—__ + + = —____ Honolulu, Hawaii, U. S. A. The Hawaiians have taken on their new rational colors readily, quickly ané enthu- siastically. Evidences of the general ac- ceptance of the new order of things in the nds comes to hand in the first batch of insular newspapers received since the news reached Honolulu that the joint resolution had been passed. Not only are the Ha- vaiians already paying war taxes, using the new stamps for this purpose, but they ere enjoying the newly established postage rate to the “Mainland,” as they now cal! the Amercan continent. They are very busy with their new politics, and ere talk- ing about development and territorial gov- and incoming capital and the like they had been Americans all . The natives are reported as well content to point to the Stars and Stripes as their flag, and there see to be a decided slump in the monarc sentiment thac has been so strenuously in- sisted upon here by the enemies of annex- ation. Mrs. Rominis, should she return to the islands, as it is reported she fs about to, will find herself merely a Woman’ with a Past, one of the relics of the royalty now so far in the background. The insular in- terest In the war with Spain is naturally increased now that the Hawalians are parties to the strife, and the reader of the Americanized Honolulu journals comes across such headlines, over war news, as “SANTIAGO MUST BE OURS.” ——————_+ + + —____ If the German emperor desires to pre- serve an ‘mpression of his superhuman greatness in the minds of his officers, ha wise to keep them out of Admiral neighborhood. —_ + «= —___ Richard Croker insists that the events in Cuba de not amount to a great deal as political influences.

While there is no positive cause for pres- ent alarm there is nevertheless need for the Most stringent efforts on the part of the iccal authorities to prevent the spread into the District of the typhoid fever now se prevalent near at hand in Virginia. The chief danger is in the milk supply, a con- siderable part of which comes from the region within the range of Camp “Alger’s baleful influence. Under the circumstances no step should be omitted tending in the least to strengthen the barrier between the residents of the capital and the disease that is now sweeping through the ranks of the volunteers. The ordinary precautions against the importation of infected milk will not suffice now. The tests at the va- rious depots of delivery should be excep- tionally frequent, in order that the pres- ence of the germs in the supply may be de- tected immediately after the infection has begun, if it should ever begin. There must be no waiting until the fever has obtained ernmen a hold on the people before placing an em- bargo upon the polluted supply. The germs get into the milk in several ways. The commonest danger is that the various containers used by the dairymen are washed tn polluted water. There ts a question as to whether the disease can be communicated to humag beings from the cows drinking water containing the germs. The local health officer is said to believe that this danger does not exist, but the case is worthy of the closest watching even if this degree of immunity is assured. “The removal of the troops from the camp will not immediately remove the menace, though eventually the danger from this source will diminish and disappear, The soil at the camp is now badly polluted and there can be no guarantee as to the time necessary to elapse before this evil influ- ence will lose its potency. Fortunately the infected site is far below the water source of the city and thus this danger, which otherwise would be indeed desperate, is avoided. — > «= —____ People who find an occasional scandal necessary to make life interesting wili deny any insinuation that the British peerage is a useless institution. ————_+ + —____ Mr. Reed will observe that his popularity with his constituents did not depend on his ability to stop Hawaiian annexation. —— ++ ____ Spain is disposed to presume too far on this country's candid anxiety to conclude the iransaction. toe SHOOTING STARS.

From the Brooklyn Eagle. It is an infernal outrage that the Medical Department of the Army virtually broke down, at just the time need for its effi- ciency was extreme. A tenth of the abi ity used to deny or to explain its short- comings would have prevented them. The state of things on the Seneca—the other day—and on the Conc this week. was a disgrace to the United States. It made the Army Bureau of Medicine and Surgery a worse enemy to the sick, wounded and suffering by the war than Spanish Mausers, Cuban filth, yellow fever cr_tropical typhoons were—combined. There must be searching investigation. No culprits or imbeciles responsible for t! wrongs must have to do with that invest! gation in any other role than that of ac- cused defendants. The press will soon be- gin this investigation. The committees of Congress can be trusted to finish it. We know that some persons should be sum- marily cashiered for this devilish condition ef cruel neglect and heartless unreadiness. We are not quite prepared today to say who should be shot for it. + ¢ = How Peace Came to Venezuela. From the Venezuelan Herald. Peace and tranquility have been restored in Venezuela. The few remaining insur- gent chiefs, Pedro Conde, P. Moreno, L. Loreto Lima, hevc made their submission, and their chief, General Hernandez, has been led prisoner to the fortress of San Carlos at Maracaibo. The government Have made no reprisals, it is not the mor- row of a civil war, where all is murder and personal vengeance, but of egal warfare. The troops are being disbanded daily and returning to their homes, noiselessly, with- out song of victory, without animosities. They are to be met with all along the roads smiling and thinking only of resum- ing their field labor. The bees hive anew. ‘There is peace once more. What the People Want. From the Jacksonville Times-Union and Citizen. Many men talk these days about imperial. ism without understanding its true mean- ing. Imperialism means the planned and designed effort at conquest with the motive of new territory for the sake of military glory. Colonization follows as a natural sequence. The people in this country are far from this motive when they demand ex- pansion of territory as the logical result of war. Eighty-five per cent of the people of this country do want territorial outposts that shall augment the military power of the nation, therefore establishing the belief throughout the world that we shall be able to defend our commerce upon the seas and enforce our rights alongside of other na- tions. ——— Bigger Representation at Paris, From the Springfield Republican, It is said that the President has decided to advise a further appropriation by Con- gress of $400,000 for the American exhibit at the Paris exposition of 1900. This will not be in response to the modified French utterances respecting this country in the war with Spain, but in consideration solely of American trade interests, and the money will no doubt be well spent.
