The local indications that a gigantic ice trust is in formation, disclosed by a publi- cation in yesterday's Star, would have been more disquieting ten years ago than they are at this time, in view of the scientific achievements which have taken ice from the realm of cornerable commodities close- ly affecting the comfort, health and welfare of the people. No longer can the enterpris. ing capitalist hope to control the output as it out he can in the case of oil, coal, gas and Many other items of daily consumption. The ice-making machine has wrought at marked change in the commercial world, as affects this important hot-weather ar- ticle of commerce. With access to a sup- ply of w r—which need not necessarily be absolutely pure, in view of the ease with which it can be distilled—a plant capable of producing hundreds of tons of ice daily can readily be created and th = product sold at a price which permits direct competition with the handlers of “natural” ice. This process not yet be veloped to suck an extent that the “artificial” ice can far undersell the other, for even when the haul from the y freezing rivers of the north to the 1 cities is taken into account the pr smmodity is said to be enorme especially when communication is had by all-water rou Yet as long as it is thus ible a mpany outsid of a synd to enter market with a competing product the corner is broken. timore experience suggested in news publication y day, illustrates matter clearly. In that city the ic trust started its operati y reducing the price to 15 cents a hundred pounds, a low rate, but after a short time the price was a f the people encouraged the establishment of new concerns, which, independent of the supply from the north- could maintain a steady output $s of the obstructive tactics of the It is by no means desirable that any agency should operate to increase the Price of ice to the retail consumer, or even to maintain it at the present height. In View of the added facilities for maintaining the supply and meeting the increasing de- mand it is even proper fur the people to expect that the rate be steadily reduced to conform to modern conditions. see President McKi is demonstrating that the ability to make numerous speeches on skort notice is by no means limited to ihe people who have been most advertised by it. -- see The manner in which warm weather has the lingered is rot less remarkable than steadiness of the price of coal this year. wee Lawise Movement. cable A The from Havana ja Rodriguez or Santa Cruz di Sur, via Bataba in answer to an urgent’ summens {rom c €evernment. It was give the ¢ an revolutio! ministers commis these generals to reorganiz the Cuban army in the eastern province This calls for an explanation. Why is it considered necessary to reorganize the Cu- ban army in the eastern provinces? It is in that portion of the island that disarma- ment has b in progress. The American flag is flying at Santiago, and from that point American autnority ts rapidly being extended. The Spantsh soldiers are being sent home as fast as transportation can be secu Those who still remain are offer- ing battle to nobody. The number of American troops is not large, but large enough. From the American point of view. everyth proceeding there upon the Proposition that the war is over, and that the sooner the Cuban people return to ‘Seaceful pursuits the better it will be for everybody in interest. Why, then, it is cn- trely proper to ask, this movement for the Keorganization of forces recently advised to lay down their arms by no less an an- thority than General Garcia? If there is any connection between this Movement and the distrust of the United Btates reported to exist in certain Cuban guarters it 1s a grave mistake, and onc very m to be regretted. No portion of the peopie of Cuba can afford to distrust the United States in the matter of their ultimate triumph and permanent happiness and prosperity. The integrity of this gov- ernment is not legitimately open to ques- tloy.. Its word {s pledged to Cuba, and that must serve. It has done too much. and with too unselfish an object altogether ap- parent. to justify any suspicion of gc!tieh- or bad faith on its part. It ts going | ard with its work as swiftly as the situation warrants. The- difficulties _pre- d are very great, and it is for the Cu- s to exhibit not only faith, but patience. It is in their power now to advance or re- s by the wisdom or the folly of the course they choose. 4 ple of the United State the are bet- people of Cuba of ss than arc what is necessary in the way of establish- ing a strong and stable government in the irterests of all. are familiar with the whole proce: men in that line. y are er work- ‘The people of Cuba can afford to learn of them. They are fortu- rate. indeed, in having friends at once so generous and so capable to take in hand a Problem so complex and discouraging as that of rearing a structure of good govern- ment on ruins where Spanish hands have done their very worst. Nobody but master workmen could hope to succeed; and as such are near, and are laboring in Cuba's interest. it is the duty of the Cuban people, one and all, to bear a hand under American direction. There is no need, therefere, for a reor- ganization of Cuban troops in any portion of the island. American troops will be on hand in numbers sufficient to preserve order and answer every end to be sub- served by the military. The Cuban who lays down his gun, keeps the peace and gces to work will serve his country and help to hasten the day of its independence among the rations. ——————r Marriage and Divorce. Citizens of all classes and callings—ex- cept perhaps some members of the legal prcfession—have of 1: years been coming steadily to the opinion that the divorce evil iemands remedial attention. Praiseworthy efforts toward the adoption of uniform laws reiating to marriage and divorce by the cveral state legislatures have, however, met with only partial suce and the fight for reform in this direction is yet to be waged in order to secure substantial re- sults. The feeling of apprehension lest the bonds of matrimony are being dangerously loosened by custom and the courts has no- where been more acuie than among the clergy, especially as the ministers and priests are brought into such close contact with this phase of the social life of the nation. The question has, therefore, arisen an.cng the various denominations as to whether the churches cannot aid in the ef- fort to secure wholesome reforms in this line by adopting a rigorously deterrent at- titude toward those who, having lightly en- tered into the marriage relation, seek as ightly to dissolve it. The Protestant Episcopal Church has es- pecially been concerned in this problem for a number of years. Just as in the ranks of the English clergy, there exists among the American clergy a wide difference of opin- ion re rding the proper position of the church toward the parties to divorces. One element in the church favors an absolute prohibition againsy the marriage by an Episcopal clergyman of either party to a legal separation, believing that only in this manner can the church make its influence felt toward the ¢ puragement of the growing tendency to disregard the binding obligations of the marriage vows. Another element believes that this practice would necessarily work inequity by punishing the mnoceat along with the guilty, conceiving that in a divorce, in many es, one or the other party is entitled to consideration and to the privilege of a second marriage. Thi sue is now under discussion in the triennial convention in session in this city. It is fraught with weighty consequenc It involves many serious considerations, and, as has already been shown by the de- bates in the house of bishops, it represents a wide division of opinion among the clergy. It would seem, however, that the adoption of either of the alternative propositions, be- tween which are numerous compromises and amendments, would place the church sufficiently on record in condemnation of locse divorce laws to exert an influence in bebalf of the reform movement aiready mentioned. It should be the Lepe and aim of ail citi- zens that the example of the church in seeking to lessen the divorce evil may be followed by the political organizations, by bar associations, by state legislatures, and, if necessary, by Congress. The variety ot jaws in the various jurisdictions and © with Which the Severe stacutes of voided suggest the the any one commonwealth ar that the time has come for the adoption of uniform practices from one end of the jand to the other, for no longer are the divorce laws of une state exclusively for the benetit of the bona fide residents of that state. This question, of course, is apart from that which new Vexes the delegates to the convention in this city, yet the two are closely united in the ultimate purpose to produce more wholesome ccnditions affecting the marital relations. os he Estimates for ‘09. ‘fhe annual estimates prepared by the Commissioners for submission to Congress, reproduced today in thus issue, admirably indicate the steady growth of the national cepital in every directicn and its progr, teward the municipa: ideal. The estimates are based upon the revenues which, it is calculated, will accrue dur-nz the coming fiscal year. These revenues, together with the probable balarce in the Treasury at the close of the present fiscal year to the credit of the District, wil! amount to $4,492,503.26. The estimated expenditures reach the total of $8.7: . Of this sum, it ts figured, the District will pay, exclusively out of its own funds, $19,000, and on this basis the District's share of the annual bidget will be the equal of its estimated revenues. while the government's share will be $4,302,503.26. These estimates are larger by $670,630.62 than those submitted a year a ‘This oifference illustrates the growth of the District’s requirements in all departments. It is to be noted that the Commissioners omit this year their csual estimate for a reunicipal building, for which they have been petitioning for many sessions. This omission does not arise from an abandon- ment of the plan to secure for the District an appropriately large and imposing struc- ture devoted to the transaction of the monicipal business. It is understood that the Commissioners will wage the fight for this purpose more vigorously than ever by urging the passage of legislation on this subject reported from the District com- mittees. ‘There are estimates for many of the most commendable objects, for more schools, for more policemen, for additional fire-figh ing facilities, for a morgue, for a more ade- quate river patrol, for better street clean- ing and for more efficient sanitary pro- cesses. . ee The Mohammedans will certainly be im- pressed by the liberality with which the kaiser proposes to spend money on his tour.

Friends of civillzation's advance into the faz east should not be wholly depressed by the news which continues to come from Pekin concerning the raids Which the dowagec empress is making among the re- fcrmers who have sought to set up western standards in the empire. The reaction is complete, to be sure, and for the present it promises the utter annihilation of all hopes ‘that China may soon emerge from the dark- ness into the ght. But it is tao thorough, too savage in its resentment, to endure, un- less all the signs which have preceded it in other newly enlightened lands fail now to guide. The latest step by the empress to interdict all the native newspapers, pun- ishing their editors. She has also caused the board of agriculture to be abolished and its chief degraded. All officials who have hitherto petitioned for reforms, such as the emperor favored, have been dismissed and a reign of terror is said to prevail among the more progressive people. To be other than Chinese in any deed or word or sug- gested wish, and Chinese, too, in a sense involving al! of the despotism and isolation of the past ages, is to incur the hatred of the now ruling class and to court death. The abolition of the newspapers does not signify as much in China as it would in almost any other part of the world. But it is easy to foresee that this step is likely to be followed by a counter reaction which may ultimately carry the reform movement far ahead. It Is the practically unbroken experience of pioneers of civilization that when once a people have tasted the fruits of progress they are loath to relinquish them. China {s directly in the path of the world’s advance in thought and action. She cannot, of course, be regarded as an un- cultured Jand, for she has a civilization of her own dating back beyond the beginnings of that which we call by the same name. But her time has passed, she is surrounded by the new and it threatens to overwhelm her. Russia now favors this present reaction, but solely for her own selfish purposes. The struggle in China between the progres- e party and that of the dowager empre is yirtually the struggle in another form between the two great rivals for dominance in the far east, Russia and Great Britain. If Russia should succeed the day of true erlightenment in China may be delayed. If, on the other hand, England should gain from her rival the control of the eastern coast of Asia a e now controls in large measure the southern ceast, the day of gepuine reforms in China will be close a hand. Westerners may not appreciate fully the exact nature of the Chinaman in his own land. Deyotion to tradition is a prominent characteristic. This tendency to retain the old regardless of the advantages of the new will for the time aid the dowager’s party and, therefore, Russi It remains a ques tion as to how long the Chinese nature can withstand the pressure for change.
