Yesterday's triumph in the House of Rep- resentatives was not of reason, of morals, of justic>, but purely of party discfpline. The republican “whip” was the power in the case. The speeches in advocacy of the Porto Rican bill were nothing. They con- tained only such appeals as had before been made, and therfore had lost their novelty. The sole reliance was on mustering the members and getting them into line. This was accomplished after a week of hard work, and the bill passed. That tells the story. And thus ends the first lesson. But what about the second lesson? W1 the congressional campaigns begin, this whole business will be presented from the stump, and it will be well calculated to give the republican lsaders very serious trouble. They have no explanation of their conduct which will go down with the peopte. They prate about how acceptable the bill will be when the people come to und2rstand it, but they give no Inkling in their speeches of what the bill contains which fs to work this revolution in popular sentiment. The peo- ple. and the press, without distinction of party, hav> been studying and discussing the measure for weeks, but have yound nothing to recommend it. They are today, @s much as ever, against it. The old darky, suddenly converted, described his religion as a ball of light, which struck him on the bosom and spr3ad all over him. Is the country to be converted in this way? Is the Intelligence necessary to approve of a tariff against Porto Rico to strike it sud- aenly and spread all over it? The second lesson may end to the dis- comfiture of mor than one of those repub- Mean members of the House who voted against personal conviction in this matter. The leaders In the movement are probably safe. Mr. Payne and General Grosvenor liv> In rock-ribbed republican strongholis, and Mr. Dalzell has things so much his own way at home that he may even survive the Insult he offered to practically the entire re- publican press of the country. But there are many close districts in the middle states and vhere, now represented by republicans, h will be all the more difficult for the party to hold because of this inexcusable nd-r to the sugar and tobacco growing ts of the United States. 9 those republicans who stood to their guns tood the effort to coerce them against thelr convictions of rignt, greetings and congratulations! They have given ths country an exhibition of courage which, though ineffective now, will not be lost in the long run. +2 —____ Admiral Dewey's Statement. It is reported that we are shortly to have a statement from Admiral Dewey clearly ing his attitude toward the political the day. It fs to be prepared with all the greater care because of myentional and ingenuous an- nt of his candidacy for the presi- dency. The admiral, it ts considered, fired that time before he was ready. This next time he is to redeem himself, and leave no @oubt In anybody's mind as to just where he stands and just what kind of a President if elected he will make. But may not this statement be prepared with too great care? If it shows too much political knowledge, too much political wis- dom, for a man who has been a sailor all his lif- and never thought of holding a political office until a few months ago, will the try be impressed with it? Will not the tion of its real authorship at once overshadow the statement itself? Will not the public set about determining by an ex- amination of the document who the ad- mirals backers are? Will not the long- headedness of Mr, Smith be detected In one paragraph, the shrewdness of Mr. Jones in another, and the nice distinctions of Mr. Brown in another? This, of course, would rob the statement of much weight. The statement, as one may see, should bear distinctly the stamp of the man The politicians may laugh as they please, but Admiral Dewey an- nounced his candidacy in a characteristic fashion. He has set, as it were, a pace for himself. He should keep this up. If he does not, but begins now to hold back, and balance bis words, and fathom with choice phrases the mysteries of finance, trusts, and expansion, he will lose bis individuality. he suspicion will arise that he has fallen into the hands of machine men and Is be- ing groomed for the presidency. n the time of his first election to ney and his appearance here to ugurated.

A cable from San Fran one of the vital ne merce and governn have been laid years Place in 18% doubtles: unpleasant events i would have read differently. t te what might have been there is no plainer fact in view sco to Hawali ts tes of both com- uch a cable should Had it been in y of certain Hawail desp than that this cable has now become, by virtue of Amer! annexation, just as é sential to the prosperity and good govern- ment of the island as ar « from Washington n per administration of the affairs of the repul The Senate yesterday recognized this fact by its passage of the bill providing for the laying of a government line to Hon- olulu. There was no debate on the central Proposition. The discussion ran solely along the line of affording protection to the American manufacturers. The preponder- ant opinion of the Senate, as expressed in the vote, was that in view of the fact that there is a heavy advantage on the side of the foreign maker of cables an allowance of 12 per cent should be made in behalf of the bome manufacturer. Even anti-protection- the wires radiat- ‘y to the 4 European producers. The 4t- affair in Egypt is a marked in- In those lines that have found es- tadlishment the American manufacturer THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY can stand the closest competition In the world fleld as regards both price and qual- ity. But in the making of ocean cables this country has not yet advanced suffictently, and without the discrimination in its favor the $3,000,000 contract would almost surely go against it. With this contract executed here, however, it may soon prove that the American cable maker can sweep the seas. It is doubtless the part of wisdom for the bill to be restricted to providing for a cable only to Hawaii now. There is a serious question as to the best route beyond those islands, on the way to Manila. The sur- veys are incomplete and !t would be highly undesirable to check the whole enterprise pending the determination of the longer route. The Hawaiian cable is needed now, while there is already sufficient cable serv- ice to Manila to permit the government to transact its business in fair fashion pending the completion of its own line. Of the var- ious propositions for this enterprise—a gov- ernment line, a strictly private line or a private line under government subsidy—that of a government line appeals most strongly to the judgment of the people. The need for the cable being established, on public grounds, it is a question whether it is bet- ter for the government or a private cor- poration to risk the possibility of loss In maintenance. The cable may not pay im- mediately. But it will surely grow In value as an investment as the commerce of the Pacitic increases, particularly if the Nic- aragua canal be completed. A direct gov- ernment loss now would not cripple the ef- ficlency of the service, whereas a private loss might interfere with the full usefulness of the line. In any case, inasmuch as the cable is demanded first of all by the public interests, the government should unques- tionably have full charge. This bill should be passed forthwith by the House. It is one of the most important items of the session’s work. ——__ e+ —____ To Filter the Water. The Senate did good work yesterday in its treatment of the District appropriation bill. The items it added to the measure are all to the advantage of the local interests involved. Th> school reorganization plan, which has received the general approval of the community, was among these. The provision of a fund for the erection of a municipal hospital was another. One of the most important, however, was the it2m of $200,000 for the establishment of a filtration system in connection with the water sup- ply, a work which has been needed for many years, but which has been delayed p2nding the submission of reliable reports as to its feasibility. Those reports are now in hand and it is well that the Senate should have seized the first opportunity to make the Initial provision for the project. It is somewhat significant that In the same issue of Th> Star which contained the account of this action in the Senate was a summary of a report from the officer in charge of the aqueduct, stating that during the month of March the water was clear on only two days. This percentage 1s enough of itself to convinc3 the average legislator that some means of filtration ts absolutely necessary. The sediment which makes the Potomac water turbid is not re- garded as necessarily menacing. It con- sists in the main of susp2nded marl, which, while it may induce in a few persons mild forms of intestinal complaints, is on the whole not deleterious to health, although unpleasant to the eye and the palate. The filtration of the water will, of course, remove this marl and make the water per- fectly clear. But it will do more. It will reduce the chance of bacteriological poison- ing to a very low minimum. Just what this chance now !s with the water un- filtzred is not exactly determined, although the report recently filed on the subject shows a menacingly large percentage of bacterial presence in the water. The case has com: down to these terms: The Poto- mac water is not known to be dangerous to health, but it contains teo many bacteria for comfort, while the color of the water and even the taste are at témes decidedly unpleasant and sometimes 2ven repulsive. Therefore, by all means, if the project is feasible and will not prove too expensive, let the water be filter2d on a large scale before it actually becomes tainted. The value of the service to the people will be infinitely :nhanced, while Washington will be rid of an annoying reputation of having a dangerous water supply. This ill-repute has spread from the turbidity of the water among people who do not understand the true character of the suspended marl. No on? wants the capital to sustain such a blight upon its name, and it would be worth much more than $200,000 to be rid of this Incubus alone, not to mention the unspeakable blessing of invariably clear Potomac water at all seasons of the year. ——~>+=—____ Fender Facts. A sertes of letters printed in today’s issue regarding the efficacy of the fenders now in use on the local street cars should receive careful attention by the authorities. It 1s stated in these letters that the fender-trip levers have in very many cases been dis- carded by the motormen or lost, and that it is impossible on such cars to operate the fenders successfully. This is a rather sert- ous proposition. The fender fs worse than useless if incapable of being dropped in an emergency to the level of the tracks, 30 ag to pick up a body. Attention is also ealled to the fact that bent and broken fenders are permitted to remain in service, menac- ing life and limb by protruding over the tracks. No other item about a street car's equipment is more important than the fender. It should be inspected constantly, to ensure its perfect condition and if, as charged, motormen have been in the habit of running without the full equipment steps should be taken without delay to prevent such transgressions in the future. woe Paris barred out the gold statue of an American actress, offered as a world's fair exhibit.

Admiral Dewey is doubtless aware of the fact that a presidential campaign ts a long, hard fight with very IHttle prize money in it, ——_~ +e The Vice Presidency aot Philadelphia. There is renewal of the talk about Gov- ernor Roosevelt for Vice President. He does not want the nomination, and says so very frankly. He !s advised, however, that there {s a strong desire throughout the country to bestow the honor upon him, and that if he shows himself at Philadelphia in the national convention the delegates will be likely to nominate him without regard to his personal wishes. As he is on his party's slate for delegate-at-large to the convertion, the suggestion is one of mo- ment to him and to others. It fs mot to be dented that within the ast two months the poiltical situation has undergone some change. The republicans have made several blunders, and their out- look is not as promising as before. There is every reason now why they should henceforth proceed with the greatest cau- tion—should put their best foot foremost. ‘The President himself has lost nothing. He still possesses the confidence of his party, and the respect of his opponents, but you may overload even the strongest and most willing steed. So that as matters have been and still are shaping themselves, the necessity is recognized of giving to the President a running mate with qualities strong as his own. And it is probably this view of the case which lends renewed in- terest to the discussion of Governor Roose- velt’s name. ‘The announcement that Governor Roose- velt does not desire this nomination Is accompanied by the statement that he will decline it if it is tendered. That is to be received with a large grain of salt. Gov- ernor Roosevelt, like every other ambitious party man, must subordinate his judgment to the general judgment in matters of this kind. He must obey orders. He cannot af- ford to consult his own personal wishes as ; against a call to national duty. For him to decline this nomination if formally made would be for him in some measure to cheapen It, and make it less welcome in other quarters. And such a step would by no means advance his prospects for first Place in 194, or later. There may be no purpose to draft Gov- ernor Roosevelt. He is an attractive man who would bring to the national campaign a spirit of energy and earnestness which would be very valuable to his party. But there are others. The republicans, indeed, are fortunate in having a good field to choose from; and it is safe to say that when the nomination is made the honor will not be lightly considered, and most cer- tainly not declined. —---—____ A Colorado millionaire who did not like the way a hotel in Dever was run, decided to buy it and show how to conduct it.

During the debate on the adoption of the rule, Mr. Dalzell, who closed for the re- publicans, characterized those republican newspapers that have opposed the imposi- tion of tariff duties on merchandise ing between the United States and Por Rico as “the subsidized republican press. This expression caused a decided sensation on the republican side, and was caught up by the democrats in their speeches on the amended bill. A number of the repub- lican managers, before the debate on the bill began, expostulated with Dalzell on the use of the expression, “subsidized republi- can press,” and insisted that he should make a correction of it. Accordingly, when the general debate opened, Chairman Payne, who was in charge of the republican divis- ion of ttme, yielded one minute to Dalzell, who consumed the brief time allowed him in explaining that he did not mean to use the word “subsidized,” and was surprised upon being informed that that expression had been employed in his remarks. He had exambhed the notes of the official reporters and found, much to his surprise, that the expression had been used. It was an inadvertence which he regretted, and declared that the word he Intended to use and thought he had used was “misguided.” This declaration was received with jeers and laughter by the democrats. “The same expression, “subsidized republican press,” was used by Hamilton of Michigan, who made a spread eagle speech in justifica- tion of his vote for the bill, and which ex- ied merriment on both sides of the cham- r. ———_—+-____ The Work of Gen.
