Talk- ing against time in the presence of visitors in the galleries, and with reports of the speeches made going out over the country to thousands of newspapers, made senators more careful of their utterances and less | inclined to be mere obstructionists. After a little while the opposition collapsed, and the resolution, although requiring only a | majority, passed by a two-thirds vote. ‘The leader of that opposition, it will be remembered, was Mr. Whe of California. While so employed he was chosen chair- man of the democratic congressional com- mittee, and his proper place when the cam- paign opened was here in Washington. But he bandoned the committee, betook him- self home and remained in California dur- ing the whole of the fight, and confined his activities solely to his own state. His seat in th nate was in the seale, and he was naturally anxious to save it. The republi- ANS Carr ublies "d everything before them and a n will succeed Mr. White in the ate. That was California's answer to ne inglorious filibuster. The Spanish treaty is a far more import- ant instrument fn every way than the Ha- treaty. The defeat of the latter would hay n most unwise and the coun- try would have been embarrassed by It, but no grave complications would have {mmedi- resulted. This cannot be said of the cnizh treaty. One has only to consider what defeat, or even a protracted blockade, of the treaty would mean, not only here at home, but in the eyes of the outside world, to see the importance of carly favorable ac- tion or it. The Star feels no fears for the treaty, but it would be glad to see the doors of the Senate opened when debate on it begin: 5 soe A Convert to Optimism. ‘The Boston Herald, heretofore a pro- nounced opponent of the policy of the ac- quisition of the Philippine Islands by the United States. has assumed a new and under the circumstances an eminently dig- nified ground. Its latest dec! laration, which is printed elsewhere in today's issue, as- umes that the die is cast, that gov.

If the grade crossing di ceuld be analyzed from start to finish it weuld doubUless be shown that in a mafor- of cases where death has occurred at rded crossings the fault has been failure of the gateman to exercise at z iiigence demanded by the im- pert his trust. The constant !ower- ing of gates when there Is no sign of human appreach is more than likely to cause him to grow careless, going through the mo- tions in # perfunctory manner and thus in- Viling the disaster that eventually occurs. There is a remedy for this evil. It does lie no! in the erection of better barriers, or the employment of mo-e reliable individ- vals. It consists in the abolition of the crossing. It costs more in money at set than would the provision of som: tutomatic barrier which would leave for a dis er, but it would ‘* on the public's side of the ac- and in the end would save money on the railroad’s side. This remedy will eventually be applied. of People are confident, for thcy have faith in the ultimate intelligence of the corporations and the tendency of Con- xtess to bring the capital to a conditiun of m wa wnicipal excelience.

The Hawaiian treaty was held up in the Senate behind the closed doors, and the threat and danger of defeat by delay spurred the friends of en to proposing annexation by annexation resol Tirat opened the doors to public discussion oft stion, and action was secured There was thus afforded a fair exhibition of the difference between the powers of a in private and the same proceed- blic. With the public excluded chamber the opponents of Ha- nexation had their way. Talking me was an easy performance. A. © reports of the speeches were public had no means of knowing irrelevant the talk of the opposition might be. And thus, for months, a treaty of the highest importance, approved by the country and by a large majority of the Sen- ate, was kept at the mercy of a very few men. But when the joint resolution was brought in and offered fm place of the treaty, and the doors of the Senate were forced open, ernment fs committed to the polley of ¢ pansion, and that it Is therefore the duty of patriots and statesmen and citizens gener- ally to accept the inevitable and to work with energy to produce the results from the situation. come to the conclusion that the new condl- tions form an opportunity far more than a danger, that by consistently and earnestl following out this opportunity. with due re- gard for the traditions upon which the re- public is founded and tite principles which animate it, the nation may be develoved improved, strengthened, while shedding light on the dark spots of the worll. In short, the Herald, which is to be congratu- lated upon its frank confession of a change of views, assumes an attitude of pro- nounced optimism, a wholesome, abiding faith in the ability of this strong, sensible race to work out the solution of the prob- lems which now present themselves, to their own satisfaction and to the edification of the world. The Herald will be followed in this reasoning by a large number of peo- ple who consider that the disadvantages of the acquisition of the Phillppines distinct- ly outweigh its advantages, but who are not distrustful of the American character under strange conditions, and who do not fear that disaster and ruin will be the re- sults of the difficult task which the 1e- public has undertaken. The conyerston 1s the more noteworthy in view of the fact that the Herald ts published in the city which today represents the most active op- position to the administration's cour: This editorial utterance, under these cir- cumstances, ought to forecast the dwin- dling of the antagonism to expansion, which, founded upon pessimism and sus- tained by a narrow interpretation of out- grown doctrines, is today revealing a side of the American character which, In its logical development, would quickly reduce the United States to the proportions und power of a petty state. ee us The Library's Work and Needs. A satisfactory showing is made by the report to the Commissioners of the trus- tees of the Washington public library, as it appears in the news columns today. The library is now ready to perform the func- tons assigned to It as a supplement to the public educational system of the District. #ifteen thousand volumes are on the shelves and more are being constantly re- ceived, while public-spirited citizens are do- nating money for the purchase of books and periodicals. Thus an excellent begin- ning has been achieved, with a small ap- propriation. The trustees of the library urge upon the Commissioners the propristy —indeed practically the necessity—of in- creasing the appropriation, in order to per- mit the administration of the library's af- fairs on a basis more suitable to the pub- lic demand for books and more In keeping with the proportions of the collection, which is steadily expanding. It i that in comparison With other citics this first year's expense roll is small. ‘The trus- tees set forth their desire and Intention to develop the library along the Hines of the greatest usefulness to the school children ct the District. It is hoped that eventually some part of the duplicate copyright vol- umes in the Congressional Library and the untechnical volumes in the departmental Ubrartes will be transferred by the govern- ment to this library, where they will be of far greater value and use than at pr ent. This report should form the basis of active and urgent recommendations by the Commissioners tn behalf of enlarged funds for the library which has after many years filled a want in Washington which has long ago been recognized and met in most of the small towns of the northern states. —_—_+ e+ ___ Editor Manley of Wilmington, N.

The world teday ts not content simply with hearing about its heroes. It demands to see them, or when that is tmpossible to hear from them. It wants their own story in some form about their own achieve- ments. The lecture ts preferred, for that carries with it both the sight of the man and the sound of his voice. But where he cannot appear, a book or a serles of maga- zine articles by him is the next best thing, and he finds {t profitable to write. And so it is that the heroes of the war with Spain are just now besieged with offers. Some have been accepted. Ad- mirals Sampson and Schley are to put their experiences on paper. Captain Sigspee is in print with the full story of the Maine. General Lee has told his story about Cuba. General Wheeler has a book in print about the Santiago campaign, and Colonel Roose- velt is under contract to write on the same subject. Admiral Dewey has had an offer for his story of Manila, but he is too busy to write. Lieutenant Hobson has accepted an offer to write and declined one to lecture about the sinking of the Merrimac. In England General Kitchener's first call- ers included a man with an offer for a lec- ture about Egypt, to be delivered in the United Kingdom, and even in the United States if the distinguished soldier would consent to cross the water. In Germany the emperor already announces a volume on his trip to Palestine. We come therefore to the question, would Washington lecture? Or, resisting that overture, could he be induced to write a book? If the great drama in which he played the star part could be put forward a hundred years would he be permitted to quit the scene, as he did, without giving to the world his own story In his own way? He would undoubtedly have numerous of- fers. The road to Mt. Vernon would be lined wits lyceum agents and publishers’ agents seeking interviews and carrying propositions. | Washington was not speaker, and he mage no pretensions to literary style, but he was a capital ta.ser and an excellent writer, anu were he alive today could with either tongve or pen put the nose of everybody else's story of the revolution out of joint. He might decline to lecture. But a book could probably be obtained, for, with all of his stateliness and superb poise, he loved the applause of ts countrymen. ee Governor Tanner and Senator Quay will Presently be tempted to belleve that a man cannot amount to much in this country unless he has been indicted for something. soe Liliuokalani is perfectly clear in her as- sertion that she would like to have money, but grows a little misty in her statement of what for.

For the same service the railroads charge the express companies less than one-tenth of the amount charged the government, and it haa never been asserted anywhere that the railroads were losing money in carry- ing express matter.
