What Does Expansion Mean? The country !s face to face now with the problem as to what expansion means. And what does It mean? Does It mean that our poliey toward the new possessions shall be shaped by and for the ben=fit’of a few pro- tected industries In the United States? Is our war for humanity begun in Cuba to bear no greater fruit than that? Is all our outlay in blood and treasure within the past two years to inure only to the benefit of the sugar and the tobaceo growers of this country? Is it for their enrichment that We are now to decide the fate of the new ter- ritory over which the flag fs flying? Are the people of Porto Rico, Hawati, the Phil- Sppines, and maybe Cuba later on, to pay tribute to a handful of planters in three or ur states of the Union? Is there to be a penalty attached to living under the Mag at a distance from the main shore? The country approved of the war with Spain. All political parties helped to fight 1 r to a speedy and successful con- The people taxed themselves heav- y for the purpose. They are still uncom- ingly paying those taxes, and they will ontinue to do so, while it may be necessary to raise a large amount of money, provided y have assurances that the fruits of the war are being garnered In a spirit in keep- ing with the spirit which brought the war It was not a war of conquest. We had ne mercenary designs on the people to whose relief we went. Sentiments of hu- manity controlled us, and in the new pos- we are still proclaiming such senti- ents. Shall we preach one thing there and practice another thing here? Shall we redeem our professions of brotherhood and good will for the Porto Ricans by a tariff bill against their industries? If we decide tv do this thing shall we serve any interests t these of the American sugar and to- baceo growers? And In doing that shall we net prove recreant to our highest duty, both to the Porto Ricans and to ourselves? These tariff men tell us that there is both practical and a constitutional question involved. The reply is that the constitu- tonal question will be settled by Senator * proposition to give Porto Rico free by act of Congress. The practical 2. is merely the question raised by industries which, for selfish reasons, «© urging a tariff tax. They put their own nterests higher than the country's. —__ + e = —____. ‘The Custody of the Records. troversy over the custody of the District survey records, pertaining to a report by Col.

His attempt, instance. to paint Mrs. Dominis as the nation of the womanly virtues and to voke sympathy for her tn her age and erty, has but slight basis in fact. It is hin recent recollection that Mrs. Dom- sturdily declined American Interven- »m to assist her back upon her disgraced © because the United States would not slow her the privilege of unlimited assas- n to punish her enemies and success- pponents. The records of this trans- jon are too clear to be misunderstood. {at the came time ft fs difficult to recon- tle Mr. Hoar's picture of Mrs. Dominis as suffering fn poverty with the known facts of the comparative elegance of her mode ef existence ever since her deposition. ‘There have been various rumors to account for her large income, or at least her large apparent outlay, and at times the name of # certain aggressive trust has been ad- vanced in explanation. However that may be, as Senator Gallinger said Saturday, there fs no proof at hand to show that Mrs. Dominis ts in extremis sufficient to warrant the grant of the largest pension paid by the United States. Mr. Hoar’s natural gai- lantry and kindliness doubtless have led him to disbelieve the many unpleasant The suggestions concerning the character of this former monarch. It Is really immate- tial, of course, as to this point. The real question is whether Mrs. Dominis has a valid claim, or whether she is merely an object of charity. She has performed no service to Hawaii or to the United States worthy of reward. She did not voluntarily abdicate and save the trouble of a forced eviction. She did not assume after her de- thronement a charitable attitude herself to Justify a premfum now. She did not own a foot of crown lands in her own right, or even in her monarchical right. She was the trustee for the people of Hawail as custo- dian of these lands, and it is no wonder that, as was developed in the course of the debate Saturday. she has never filed a for- mal claim to something to which she never had a shadow of title. Some day, perhaps, the United States may find the case pre- sented in such shape that it can well afford, as a pure gratuity, to pay a pension or a lump sum to this unfortunate, misgufded woman. But all the equities demand that such action be based upon a better under- standing of her status than was sought to be established Saturday by those who pressed the amendment. —_~+ = The Last Snow of Winter? Just at this time of year one of the pre- vailing hopes of mankind Is that each burst of bad weather is the sign of the dying winter, that each snow storm is the last of the season, each cold snap the finishing touch. Thus yesterday's light snow and minor blizzard were doubtless hailed by many folks as the precursor of spring. the last lament of the elements. March is now nearly half gone. A week from tomorrow, March 20, spring will begin, according to the almanac. which has a habit of never agreeing upon such matters with the popu- lar idea So that if the season is to con- form to the official standard the winter has but a week more to live, and therefore it is altogether likely that yesterday's visita- tion was one of the true signs of the ap- proach of spring. This fs to be hoped. Par- ticularly in Washington is the advent of the season of blossoms welcome. It mat- ters but little then whether the weather bureau scores a success in the forecast, or as yesterday slips on a “fair, warmer” Prophecy to the disappointment of many thousands. There is that in the atmos- phere soon to envelop the capital and its environs which causes all men to forgive mistakes, to accept the situation as it ex- ists, to appreciate the beautiful and to swallow the disagreeable. In short, it is like taking a new start in life, when op- timism holds undisputed sway and even the frogs sing cheerily. With parks springing into bloom, and lawns glowing with the Tich, soft green of spring, and the miles of trees shimmering with young buds, Wash- ington will in a few days blossom with a beauty all its own, unrivaled by any other city and capable of even greater develop- ment as nature's favorite. ——__ The British War Loan. The speed and enthusiasm with which the British financiers and general public have subseribed to the new war loan of $15,- 000,000 are very similar to the conditions un- der which the American war loan was sub- scribed. The facility with which the house of commons approved the special budget proposals, too, suggests the prompt pas- sage by Congress of the first emergency ap- Propriation of $50,000,000. These episodes reveal the determination of the people of both countries to push their enterprises through, whatever the cost. Had not Png- land shown this spirit during the winter just closing the campaign in South Africa would doubtless have presented a very dif- ferent aspect than it does. But with three cities besieged, with three armies held at bay by the Boers. and with rebellion rife in Cape Colony and mutterings of tntervel tion in Europe. in short with the prospect as gloomy as !t could well be short of utter defeat, the British public rose to the emer- gency and decided to go on, no matter what the cost or the sacrifice, and the men and the money for the performance were at once forthcoming. The war lean has been floated, of course, under more cheerful cir- cumstances, but it 1s not to be doubted that ft would have been subscribed just quickly and as enthusiastically three months ago, when the outlook was dark. as it has now been, when the skies have lightened. It 1s a racial trait, and ft re- veals itself whenever occasion offers. —_~ ++ —_____ The National Junior Republic. as It is to be hoped that as a result of the meeting held last evening in this city the National Junior Republic enterprise may secure the funds needed to carry it along on its already successful career, with an in- creased capacity for good work. This method of training boys has demonstrated its entire practicability. The theory upon which the Junior Republic is based is that it is desirable to surround the wayward or the unhappily situated boy with the strong- est possible incentive to self-help, to study, to work and to acquire a broad, wholesome development. Every large city should maintain such an establishment, designed to train the youth into good cit'zens. to af- ford a home for the waifs, or for the excep- tionally mischievous and to sow the seeds of self-advancement in e: oung soul brought within its influence. fact that already the local institution has outgrown usefulness. the Junior Re- nd reformatory in young as at present ad: former is designed to take up boy would probably drift into reform schoo! and to prevent this necessity. ——— Should Act Christ in the Pulpit. One of the baldest and at the same time one of the most successful fake advertising schemes of the century is the one lately conceived in Kansas, wherein « sensational preacher of Topeka has underta to give the world an object lesson of a week's dura- tion, by showing how Chris! weuld con- duct a daily newspaper. The irreverent reverend gentleman may succeed in his presumptuous effort to illustrs divine methods in journalism, and he : but the odds are largely against his success. Anyway, the consensus of opinion must un- questionably be that the Kansas evangelist and all his kind would do vastly more good by letting journalism alone, by striv- ing to show how Christ would preach the gospel, and then modestly living up to its injunctions. —-+2—____ The Utah democrats who indorsed Brig- ham H.

SHOOTING STARS. A Short Cut to Results. “It seems to me that science doesn’t pay as much attention to hypnotism as it ought to,” said ‘the man who makes irrelevant re- marks. “What has become of all the great mesmerists?” “They're workin; said Senator Sor- ghum. “They're quiet, but they’re keeping busy. And after seeing what my friend Oxnard could do in this Porto Rican mat- ter by waving his hands at the ways and means committee a few times I'm half in- clined to think all this political speech- making and essay writing is a sheer waste of time.” Fuliness and Emptiness. The man who tackles politics Will have his hands full, they declare, For this short life is full of tricks, Which bid the sojourner beware. He'll have Lis hands full, that is plain. And when he’s finished with the fight, He pauses often to complain. His pockets all are empty quite. Misunderstood. “Did that traveler say we Filipinos are a great race?” asked one native with an expression of satisfaction. “No,” answered the other. “He simply said we are a great lot of racers.” Her Retort. “A lot of women love to get together and talk over a great mass of impractical sub- jects,” said Mr. Blykins, “and then go home and leave-the world no better nor wiser than it was before.” “Yes,” answered his wife, with serene amiability, “sometimes women do so. But they didn’t get up that peace conference at The Hague some time ago.” é “Have you any more ideas about how the cars ought to stop?” asked the nervous citizen. “Yes,” answered the city father. “I think it might be a fine idea to have two motor cars to each train. Then one can stop on the near side ef the crossing, while the other goes on to the far side and waits for the other to overtake it. In that way we cculd stop on both sides at once.” Porto Rico. Now let us all be civilized, With rudeness put to rout; The privilege ts highly prized— So get your money out. No matter what you can afford, At prices do not pout. Be Hberal as any lord And get your money out. The rain that falls, the sun that shincs On pastures hereabout, On them and you we'll levy fines— So get your money out. Salvation’s free for you and me, Of this there is no doubt; But if you civilized would be, Why, get your money out. ——_ +ee “Ah Sin Was His Name.” From the Minneapolis Times. | It will now be in order to make a thor- ough search of No Man's Lend for the purpose of finding Charley Ross and Tas- cott and discovering the identity of the mysterious person who struck Billy Patter- scn. The author of the Porto Rican tariff bill, about whom there has been so much secrecy, has been found. It seems*that the bill was written by one Henry T. Oxnard of Grand Island, Neb., a man heretofore unknown to political fame. Si x 1 he ha v mer with a keen welfare. factor; n him as a bonus by the farmers of the vicinity. But that is only one of his avocation: His principal business is said to be that of a lobbyist at the nations capital in the pay of the sugar trust. According to the accounts he must be one of the smoothest of workers. His smile is pensive and childlike and he has an olly tongu eis credited with ving been able repeatedly to shape leg- ation by means of bis insinuating ways uasive eloquence im private con- ‘es with members of Congress. Now » is in the public eye by reason of being discovered as the author of the Porto Rican bill, his previous record has been brought to light, and It is one of which any lobbyist might be proud. His specialty has the public He is the owner of a beet sugar at Grand Island, built with money a been opposition to trade reciprocity with any countries where sugar {s produced. He tried to prevent the ratification of the Paris treaty whereby the Philippines came into our possession. He wrote the Teller amendment to the Cuban resolutions in or- der to avert the danger of the admission of Cuban sugar free of duty. It 1s asserted that he actually succeeded for two years in blocking the movement for the annexa- tion of the Hawatian Islands. He seems to be a versatile genius with a truly wonder- ful faculty for being all things to al} men in order that Congress may enact no legis- lation which might by any possibility harm the sugar trust. The Stupid Amendment to the Hay- Pauneefote Treaty. From the New York Times, Of the amendment it is hard to speak with moderation, and it ought mot to be necessary to speak at all, since all men with the gift of right reason should see at a glance that it 1s viclous and destructive of the principle of the treaty. The principle and the fact of neutralization disappear the instant we insert a provision giving to the United States the right, conferred upon no other nation, to make’ use of the inter- oceanic canal as a theater of war and to consider it as one of its lines of national defense. * * * It effectually deneutralizes the canal. Jt puts into the treaty a para- mount principle utterly destructive of the other principle upon which it is founded, the principle of a universal agreement that no act of war shall ever be perpetrated in or near the canal. Nevertheless, it is with reason that Sena- tor Morgan objects to this amendment on the ground that it would be ineffective. We are making treaty with England. She may not Resi to thie amentment: Her refusal, which is probable, would kill the convention and throw us back upon the ob- structive Clayton-Bulwer treaty. But sup- pose she assents. What authority has she to make a grant to us of these exclusive privileges, enjoyed by no other nation, and to be exercised by us to the detriment of any nation with whom we may be at war? To a treaty of perfect neutralization Eng- land might readily assent, for in that form all nations would be lkely to agree to it at once, since the rights of all would be perfect. But why should any: nation be bound to accept a one-sided agreement exe- cuted without delegated authority by an- other nation? Why in the name of the Declaration of Independence and the Mon- roe doctrine do we ask Great Britain for this privilege to prevent the use of the canal by an enemy in time of war? We are no more forced to ask her than to ask Ger- many or Russia. We should cut a more respectable figure if we simply asserted the privilege without asking anybody’s consent. +2 ____ Have Done Wit Its Wretched Tri- fling. From the Philadeiphia Public Ledger. Congress should have done with its wretched trifling. Let us give Porto Rico free trade, as recommended by the Presl- dent, and as demanded by public opinior and the representative press of the United States. The Adage That Falls. From the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette, Engene V. Debs has been nominated for the presidency. This is a case in which the adage about the early bird gets an- other knockout. ——~2+2____.
