Our Responsibility and Authority. The President, it is stated, has repeated to Admiral Dewey and General Merritt at Monila the instructions as to American re- sponsibility for law and order which have been sent to General Lawton at Santiago. They apply at the one place as at the other. ‘The flag is up at both places, and that of itself fixes the responsibility. The author- ity of the United States must be supreme wherever the flag flies and as long as It fies. Manila is remote from us, and we know little about the insurgents except that they are insurgents and have felt the full fury of Spanish oppre: They are reported to be in an ugly mood toward the Ameri- cans heeause of not being permitted to share in the triumph at Manila. The story may be true. At the same time there need be no great uneasiness on this score, for eason that both Admiral Dewey and Merritt are men of ability, and the former in particular has shown himself to be equal to the most trying emergencies He knows Aguinaldo; has been in confer- ence and co-operation with him, and must have impressed the Malay chief with a sense of his capacity for affairs and his spirit of fair play. It is not difficult to be- lieve that the Americans will remain mas- ters of the situation pending the determina- tion of the future of the Philippines by the Paris peace tribunal. In Cuba our difficulties may increase un- less firmness shall be tempered with some diplomacy, and the confidence of the peo- ple fully invited. We have gone there for @ specific purpose. That purpose is to put an end to rule by an “iron hand,” and sub- stitute for that a benevolent and stable government. We are to lay the foundations for such a structure, and if we proceed in the right way we may achieve a success which may lead the Cuban people to ask us to throw over their island the perma- nent protection of the American flag. They may, because of our success, come of their own accord to believe that we are able to do more for them than they can hope to do for themselves. But no such success, no success, indeed, of any kind—can be hoped for if we are to begin by a display of mere force, and emphasize it by an outpouring of scurrility on the heads of the Cuban people. If we to proceed upon the hypothesis that they are scoundrels and savages whose for- tunes we should never have espoused we shall surely reap bitter fruits from our interference with Spain in their behalf. ——- ++ 2 William R. Day. In quitting the State Department, Judge Day will Ling to a close official services of exceptional interest and of very great stce-ss. He has earned and now enjoys the thorough respect and even the admira- tion of all of his countrymen. He has ac- quitted himself admirably in a post of high importance and in circumstances of un- usual difficulty. It is to be doubted, indeed, if the best trained of our dipiomats or the most 2xverlenced of our recognized leaders in any walk of political life could have executed the arduous task imposed with results more gratifying to the country th these accomplished by this modest and un- demonstrative gentleman, who left private station with reluctanc>, and had never for by the glamor of put or experienced the passion for public applause. But, yielding to the de- mands of a life-long friendship, he re- >d when the President called him to and has carried himself like a most trying environment. Not nder has marked any step he taken in the transaction of business all things considered, has been as are any with which Ameri- of State has b charged ntury. nt record and the prestige it will follow Judge Day to is, and give assurance to those in in- terest that th? case of the United States, which he will have so materially assisted in preparing, will not lack for a firm and skillful management before the tribunal which is to devise the terms of peace be- twezn this country and Spain. There Is a report that after the work of the peace commission is concluded, the Presiaent will appoint Judge Day to a life place on the federal bench. It ts to bz hoped the report is true, and that the place may be one of the best at the Presi- den lisporal. Adapta as he has shown himszif to be work of a very different kind, Judge Day is first of all a lawyer, with full equipment and an ardent passion for his profession. It will be @ service to the country >, as well as a suit- n of Judge D: 's talents and President to continue him ion, now that his fine powers acter have given him so the people's confidence se a place fn and appreciation. ———_ #42 Reviewing the Troops.

The fighting at Manila occurred after the signing of the peace protocol, but, of course, before any notification of an armistice had reached the American commanders there. Thus practically the first and the last hos- tilities of the war were in the antipodes, whereas it was unquestionably the popular expectation when the campaign opened that the fighting would begin and end in Cuba. The reports from Dewey and Merritt show that the taking of the city was in large measure a perfunctory performance, and cost but few American lives. It is to be deplored that any were killed in the as- Sault, especially in view of the existence of the protocol, and but for the lack of means of direct communication the city might have been occupied without the shedding of a drop of blood. But this misfortune will not weigh heavily with the people, who have unquestionably been anxious to see the campaign in the Philippines end as it began, with a display of the American spirit of determination and a demonstra- tion of the American military effictency. The part played by the Germans in this last assault is yet to be fully explained and understood, but as the case now stands it would seem that Admiral Diedrichs kept within his rights and committed no overt act of hostility toward the American forces or of undue friendliness toward Spain. The rescue of the captain general is not likely to become cause for any friction, for it ap- pears to have had no influence whatever in the fate of the city or the progress of the Americans. Augusti merely fled from the humiliation of surrender and found a con- venient refuge on the German man-of-war. It may have been in questionable taste for Diedrichs to permit this action, but it was not, as far as now appears, in violation of any rule of neutrality. ‘The performance of the navy at Manila the other day was hardly up to the work of the first of May, merely because there was nothing to fight. It was comparative- ly easy to throw a few shells into the city and suburbs, and this the American ships did with skill and precision. The army had not much to do for the Spanish lines melted quickly before the determined assault upon ther and the flag of truce was soon hoisted. But the limitation upon the performance was simply that of opportunity and neces- sity. As a result of this fighting the Ameri- cans occupied forcibly and with some loss of life what the proctocol turned over to them peaceably pending the peace treaty. The argument for the permanent reten- tion of Manila by the United States is strengthened by the fact of that city’s as- sault and capture. + «= Restore the Cable Connections. It is to be hoped that arrangements will speedily be made to reopen direct cable communication with Manila, by way of Hong Kong. From now. forward the sit- uation in the Philippines will be of the greatest interest to the outside world, par- ticularly to the official circle at Washing- ton. Admiral Dewey cut the cable im- mediately after the battle of May 1 to pre- vent the Spanish authorities from com- municuting with the government at Madrid. Fortunately, this shut off the output of Spanish canards, though there was a brief opportunity after the fight for the defeat- ed commanders to mis-state the condition of affairs and give Spain cause for short- lived rejoicing. The cable end near Manila was taken aboard one of the American ships, it was stated, and Admiral Dewey secured a cable outfit to enable him to con- duct his own correspondence with Hong Kong and thence with Washington. But the Hong Kong officials decided that In- asmuch as the Hne to Manila was under Spanish control, being subsidized by Spain, it Would be a violation of the neutrality laws to permit the Americans to use the wire for military purposes aid they ac- cordingly sealed the Hong Kong end. They have recently sought to reopen the line but it has now been held by some one in authority at Hong Kong that the cable can not be put again ir service without a for- mal order from Madrid. The unwinding of the necessary red tape may consume some days, but the interests at stake are suf- ficiently important to urge that the for- malities be disposed of with the least pos- sible delay. In view of the attitude of the insurgents toward the conquering Ameri- cans every effort should be exerted to en- able the administration to keep in close touch with the situation practically from hour to hour. 2 ee Reducing the Army. It does not necessarily follow from the President's decision to muster out at the earliest possible moment as many as 75,100 of the velunteers that the others are to be similarly treated in short order. There will be much work for the army for a year or more, more than can well be done by the regular forces, even when they are swelled to their present limit. Indeed, it is alto- gether iikely that many of the volunteers will serve out their full term of two years. ‘The war leaves the government with more points of vantage to be covered than ever id under such circumstances that it is necessary to have in hand a consider- able force of soldiers, capable of coping with sudden emergencies and reliable for the preservation of good crder. Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines will be under a certain degree of martial law for many mcnths. In the readjustment of the governmental agencies to suit the changed political conditions troops will take the place of the constabulary of pacific times, and these troops must be in entire accord with the purposes and principles of the American occupation. There may be some sharp work to be done. The attitude of the insurgents in the Philippines and pos- sibly that of a fraction of the Cubans may require a continuation of war-time precau- tions. Thus it is that the volunteer army will be slow of complete disbandment.

They wer2 worked over-time by the suc- cession of showers and storms that soaked this vicinity with more moisture than it has experienced in any other four or five weeks of the season. There s:ems to be such a perlod of precipitation each sum- mer, @ sort of miniature rainy season, as it were. Ordinarily the summer days bring their average of thund2r storms, with an occasion ‘‘northeaster” lasting from one to three, or perhaps more days, but save in the one wet period, there is no prolonged procession of storms such as thos2 that Swept over Washington last week. Other parts of the country, in this section at leest, seemed to suffer similarly. Last year, it is to be recalled, the rainy period of th midsummer occurred earlier, ending in the first week in August. The records doubtless reveal this coincidence, for sea- son after season, for a number of years and decades, which is probably one of the Stapls tricks of the local climate, just as the temperatures fall in December and rise in June. The early summer*was very dry, and it ls yet to be determined whether the drought caused much or Httle damage. The crop reports from the west, however, are most encouraging. The grain harvest THE EVENING STAR, Gry June sent the roots deep into the earth for moisture, and thus the stalks were strengthened to resist th> later storms, ‘The farmers are jubilant. In the east the conditions are apparently much the same. The weather has been g2nerally propitious. Some damage may have been done on the farms by the recent h2avy rains, but as far as reports indicate this item is incon- sid2rable. Nature seems to be doing fairly well with humanity in this year 1898. ———_ + + = —___ Ex-President Cleveland’s farm school for boys is a worthy enterprise, and its found- €r deserves commendation for turning from Politics to philanthropy. ————~+++—____ The prejudice in Spain against Christo- pher Columbus leaves the Duke of Veragua with scarcely any friends at all.

Ten of the members of this commission are to be selected from the two branches of Congress, and these will, of course, be politicians, but nine others are to be se- lected from the outside and, according to the provisions of the bill, shall fairly rep- resent the different industries and employ- ments. We would urge upon the President, therefore, that in order to make the com- mission of value to the country, in order to accomplish any practical results, it is necessary that the selections from the out- side be practical men rather than schem- ing politicians. If the President would but turn a deaf ear to the politicians and se- lect men from the various walks of life who have had practical training and who know what they are about, we may look for some substantial benefits from the in- dustrial commission. It is almost impossi- ble for nine intelligent business men to come together and swap ide: upon any practical subject without getting practical results.

The war has destroyed another long-ex- isting delusion, There was a widespread impression that no country could carry on a war without surrendering specie pay- ments, but as a matter of fact the gold re- serve in the treasury increased rather than diminished during the hostilities with Spain. But if the populist notion, exploited during the last session of Congress, of in- creasing the issue of greenbacks had been adopted the result would no doubt have been different. This reminds us that na- tional as well as individual calamities are invited. qe o> 18 : “ _ €ROCKER'S, : rf 939 Pa. Ave. m1 iT Btore dbofed lig electric fans. Cool- est in the city.

Populism is near its end all over the country.
