6 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY...........March 24, 1900. CROSBY 8S. NOYES.........---Editor. —— THE EVENING cre bas a regular culation of the other W: dailies. As a News and Advertising Mediam it has no competitor. Ulm order to avoid Losing rE, count of personal absence, letters if STAR t be addressed ‘The Tariff BIN Today. ‘There {s no statement safer than this: If the Porto Rican tariff bill were back in the House now it could not pass that body. At the time it was put upon its passage there party pressure was unusually strong. The party lash was laid on with unusual en- ergy. But there has been an awakening since. and many republican members now see that in supporting the measure they went directly contrary to the wishes of their constituents. Their constituents have spoken, and have rebuked them. So that as the case stands today a majority of the House Is against the bill. Why then should the Senate pass it? Why should the repub- lieans of the Senate indorse a measure which their political brethren of the House supported with reluctance and would now be glad to recall? Why should senators associate themselves with what is now very generally recognized as a colossal blunder? Daily developments both in the United States and In Porto Rico call for the defeat of the tariff bill. In this country the people are profoundly stirred by considerations of business prudence and generosity. They resent with indignation the bare suggestion of violating faith with a helpless popula- tion who are holding out their hands for promised opportunity and for friendly en- couragement. In Porto Rico the people are simply dazed at the black outlook. Ameri- can rule to them had been made to bear in scription the aspect of the greatest of ngs, and they had hailed the flag with ations of joy. ‘Their jot under sh rule had not been as hard as that of Cuba, but they were glad to exchange it for a rule which promised progress and enlightenment far beyond anything they had ever known. But here they are, face to face with bad faith and coldblooded com- alism, and without the power them- to stay the hand of the threatened new oppression. ‘The talk of armed revolt in Porto Rico against the United States is stupid and unwise. No friend of the island there or here will Indulge in it, or fail to denounce it The case is not to be won in that way. The American authority in the isiand is yreme, and must, and easily will, remain t it must be beneficent, and this is left to the conscience and the spirit to be of fair play of the American people, work- i through the agencies of peaceful and rnest discussion, and which in the end will prevail. ——_+ ++ —____ Our Sulu Citizens. One of the results of the American ven- ture into the South Seas fs the entrance into our governmental system of a group of Ma- hometan islanders organized under laws and customs utterly strange to the western mind. These Sulu people constitute one of the most Interesting groups of world in- habitants within the American view today. Yet but little is known about them, as few tourists have ventured into their territory, and even yet there are reasons to forbié uous travel through this group. » reasons the letter from Jolo in the course of the The Star's editorial cor- respondence, printed today, will doubtless prove of exceptional interest. It describes a period of merry-making among these is- landers, gives portraits of the sultan and his staff and affords an intimate glimpse © the primitive mind-workings of this -ullar race of people. The problem of dealing with tribes wed- ded to the customs of polygamy and slav- ery, strict in their observance of the Mos- faith and only lately brought from un- © unwise a/iministration of Spain, has presented some difficulties, which, have been happily solved for pur- } ent administration through the ‘wisi ‘ad tact of!'the American officers sent to negotiatewith the Sulus, It is easy to believe that if the chief of these tribesmen could be persuaded, as {3 suggested in the r+ from Jolo, to visit the United States and witness the evidences of the prc which follows the American ci our burden of peaceful adminis the ened. It Is evident that only by thorough mutual understanding are permanent re- s for quiet government achieved among these barbaric peoples.

There seems just now to be an atmospheric infection, spreading westward and south- ward from the port of New York, where, some scientists believe, the ase has been regularly imported from Europe for a number of seasons. The symptoms of this affliction are so nearly a combination of a bad cold and an attack of malaria, with other symptoms on the side, that it has baffled the bacteriologists in the effort to specialize the cause and to find a reliable remedy, although recent investigations have brought some of the students of the disease to believe that the germ is egg-shaped and propagates itself with marvélous rapidity when once it has located itself within the Mouth or nose. The public mind is not yet thoroughly satisfied that the gripconstitutes @ new disease, or that it is different from mild pneumonia, although the weight of medical opinion is thrown in the direction of the doctrine that it is a distinct disease, with its own germ and its specific remedy, yet to be confidently prescribed. Just why it should be accredited to European origin when it is known to have. prevailed here for at least ten winters is unexplained. The usual course for infectious diseases is for the danger to remain localized until some climatic influence has absolutely de- stroyed the vitality of the germ. It may yet prove that the grip germ, if it does really exist, {s capable of only a short period of activity, succumbing to seasonal changes. The wave theory then would be acceptable on the ground that the disease travels back and forth over broad areas of the world, possibly around the globe in the wake of travel. Whatever the cause, or the nature of the germ, or the eccentrici- ties of its movements, the fact remains that humanity is being sorely afflicted nearly every winter with a mysterious trouble, which racks the bones, shakes the nerves, saps the strength and in many cases leads to very serious illness in a manner unlike any ailment which has ever been particu- larly recorded in medical history: ———__~+ «+> —__—_. The Silver Republicans. Chairman Towne of the national commit tee of the silver republican party has cal a national convention of the party to meet at Kansas City July 4 to nominate candi- dates for President and Vice President of the United States. The silver republicans, as their name indicates, are uncompromi: ingly in favor of the free coinage of silver at 16 to 1. That is their first and great commandment. It was for silver’s sake that they left the regular republican party, and it Is for sflver’s sake that they still continue their separate organization. They co-operated with the democrats in 18%, and they are expecting to do so again. This explains the time and place of their meet- ing, which will bring them into Intimate conference with the democrats. Mr. Bryan is the choice of the silver re- publicans for President, and !f everything goes smoothly they will nominate him by acclamation. They will be willing to accept him at second hand from the democrats, and at third hand from the populists, who will have nominated him at Sjoux City, but they will demand to be heard about the platform. There must be no juggling with the money question; no surrender to east- ern influences; no subordination of the {s- sue for which they stand to any issue for which anybody else stands. In other words, if this Is to be another campaign for sil- ver they are with the democrats under Mr. Bryan's leadership. But if it is to be a campaign of hugger-mugger, for the pur- pose of tolling the gold seceders of 15% back into the democratic party, they will take matters under advisement, and, not unlikely, return, themselves, to their old affiliations. Here, of course, will arise Mr. Bryan's chief difficulty. A great many gold demo- crats are anxious to return home, and the will be represented at Kansas City by del gates who will ask that silver be subordi- nated In the platform, and, later, In the appeals to the people on the stump, in order that the democratic party may be re- united for the campsign. And on the other hand will be the silver republicans and populists, in effect serving notice that un- less silver is kept to the front they are off. The silver republicans are not numerou: but in Idaho and Colorado ‘they boast of their strength. The populists have been ng ground, and are now divided, but Mr. Bryan caters to them as though he held them as essential to success. May the gold democrats promise themselves a favorable hearing as against these men, who have both the ear ard the mpathy of Mr. Bryan In all of their purposes and aspira- tions? —__-e—______ Transfer Time-Limits. Complaints as to the time-limits punched by conductors on street car transfers are being received just now, and suggest a new source of friction between the public and the transportation companies. It is evi- dent that there should be no law or regu- lation compelling a transferring passenger to take the “‘next car,” irrespective of the size of its load. He must be accorded the right to walt until he can secure at least comfortable standing room. if not a seat. And yet under the prevailing time-limit rules he runs a grave risk of losing his transfer privilege, to which he is clearly entitled through the payment of a fare. There are times, it is evident. when the companies cannot possibly provide enough ears to give everybody a seat. Owing to the peculiar nature of Washington's busi- hess the great majority of the workers go to and from their tasks at the same hours. The bulk of all the office-traffie occurs within a shorter period here than in any other city in the country, and it would b obviously impracticable to run enough c: at such hours to seat all passengers with- out utterly congesting all travel upon the car-tracked streets. So there will alw: be times when transfer passengers will ju: Ufiably feel compelled, in the interests of health and comfort. to allow crowded cars to pass without boarding them, a privil which should never be abridged. It b, hooves the companies, therefore, to con- sider the advisabillty of lengthening th time limits, in order to prevent these an- noying scenes which ha on the cars, with conductors ri upon enforcing the embarras idly intent rules and passeng ed in a struggle to pres th ar rights to transfer privil writiout the payment of second fa: tim mit is intended to prevent passeng: from spending the waiting period in attend- ing to errands.

It constituted itself a board of appeals, swept away the statutes and the rulings of the pension bureay, ignored the equities which are supposed to protect the rights of both the pensioners and the government, and passed 142 private pen- sion bills, aggregating an increase to the THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, MAROH -24, 1900-24 PAGES. Pay rolls of $3,143 a month, or $37,716 a year. It is impossible to know what per- centage of these cases deserved such spe- cial treatment. but the fact that they have previously been unable to pass the scrutiny of the pension bureau is excellent evidence that they are in the main unworthy of par- ticular tolerance. As long as Congress in- sists upon setting aside the regularly con- stituted machinery for the adjudication of pension claims and making hundreds of cases special each sesston, the country may be expected to utter loud protests against an abuse of a system whicn should reflect nothing but credit to the govern- ment and but which nevertheless has de- generated into an Intolerable burden and @ shameful abuse of national generosity. ——_+-—____ New York cannot but feel complimented at the promptness with which the good people of Kalamazoo and Beaver Dam fol- lowed its lead in the matter of play sup- pression. ———+ = —_____.

The action of the Iowa lower house of the legislature, in criticising the recent vote of the republicans in Congress from that state on the Porto Rico tariff bill, was discussed quietly in the cloak rooms ‘and the nooks and corners at both ends of the Capitol to- day. Iowa has been a solid republican state for several years. Her entire delegation in Congress is republican. Her representatives in the House all voted for the 15 per cent tariff. Mr. Dolliver selected as the champion to close the debate on the bill in reply to Mr. Bailey of Tex.

The objection to the division of voters on lines of racial origin instead of lines of political policy Is that it frequently leads to the selection of inferior men for im- portant official positions, to the detriment of the public service and in the long run to the disadvantage of the very eltizens by whose votes the unfortunate consummation is brought about. Some of these days the deleterious results of the bad practice will be generally understood, and the appeal to an elector of foreign blood to vote in ac- cordance with cheap sentiment instead of yoting in accordance with his interests as a citizen, will be resented as an insult to his | intelligence. sent 300 1-Ib, loaves to the barre’.
