The theme tempting to those who are trying to make “imperialism” an issue. They shake thetr heads in the I-tol uso fashion at the escort of battle ps to San Juan, and tha Instructions about a display of the mil- ftary on shore. The empire is at hand. and no mistake. Their idea that Mr. Allen ought to go to his post on some tramp steamer, be dropped over the side into a rowboat when port is reached, and make his way unatt official residen And thus wow give to the Porto Ricans an exhibition of what is called Jeffersonian simplicity. The sham of such criticism ts easily potnt- rms to be ed out * governorship of Porto Ric an off dignity and importan the Porto Ricans are ustomed t mony in matters official. It is altogether proper therefore that the inauguration of the first American governor should reflect our own respect for the place and their expectations In the premises. The day ought to be made memorable in the history of the island under the new regime. In that way we shall impress the Porto Ricans both with our power, and with our own ideas of ceremonial. We now and then encounter this cant about display im the matter of presidential inaugurations. There are people who, if they could, would Mmit the ceremony of inducting a new President into office to the bare act of administering the oath to him; and this they would have performed in a back room in the White House in the pres- ence of not over a dozen people. The street parade, the gathering at the Capitol, the impressive scenes in the Senate chamber and at the east front of the most beautiful public building in America, they would omit. In a word, they would put an end to the great quadrennial festival which Washington conducts with such signal suc- cess and to the enjoyment of many thou- sands of visitors. The expense, as they assert, is needless, and the day so observed loses its real meaning. But this {s but an eccentric view of the matter, and It commands no serious atten- tion. We shall continue to inaugurate our Presidents and the governors of our states with the proper show of respect for such oceasions, and there is no reason why we should not carry out a similar program on similar occasions in our new possessions. ——_+ = ____ Mr. Hoar and the Atkinsonians. Mr. Hoar's speech on the Philippines, full as it was of condemnation of the adminis- tration’s policy, has yet brought down on his own head the censure of the Atkin- sonians. They cannot understand how, holding such views upon a question so !m- portant, he yet continues his allegiance to the republican party, and virtually pledges himself to the support of Mr. McKinley for re-election. He has given, as they consider, every reason why the administration should be denied an indorsement at the polls, and yet takes the ground that it is the hope of the country. They would rather have heard nothing from him on the subject. Mr. Hoar’s attitude Is the attitude of other anti-expansionists. The choice in No- vember will not be between expansion and anti-expansion, but between a party stand- ing for accomplished facts in domestic as well as foreign policies, and a party stand- ing for undoing much that has been done at home and very indefinite about what should be done In the new possessions. Mr. Hoar, after the fashion of a bookkeeper, casts up the accounts of the two parties, and he likes the trial balance of the one better than that of the other. He does not spare his party when he censures it, but neither does he close his eyes to those things for which, as he feels, it deserves credit. If the Bryanites were not the champions of unsound money, of an income tax in times of peace, of a policy which would weaken the authority and stability of the Supreme Court, of populistie tendenctes in the direction of government ownership of all public utilities, and even of the tnitla- tive and referendum, it might be possible to put the question of expansion into a form for separate debate and choice in this year’s campaign. The republican blunder in legislating for Porto Rico would of itself cause many men to pause and con- sider. But there will be but two parties in the fleld, and they must be considered with regard to the sum total of what they respectively represent. And it is in this view of the matter that Mr. Hoar, and others like him, find it impossible, while deploring and condemning their party’s policy with regard to the new possessions, to co-operate for the bringing in of Mr. Bryan and his supporters on issues more revolutionary than any ever before pro- posed in this country. Aliens Among Strikers. Among the strikers at the Croton dam in New York are a number of Itallans who not citizens of the United States, and people have imagined that in the ent of an armed collision between the strikers and the state troops on hand to protect laborers and property an Interna- onal complication might arise. In fact, the Itallan consul at New York fs sald to have been interrogated on the subject, and to have replied that such a state of case might present serious difficultie: are ‘This is a curious view to take of the mat- ter. If Ital subjects put themselves out of the pale of the law. shall the govern- ment be made responsible for them? These men were hired by atan contractor to do work They must look to the a fulfitiment of hts obliga- Y must look to him within courts are open, and aliens citizens can ignore or dety the law. They have no authority what- ever to take the law into their own hands, and when they do without authority they must bear the consequences. One may easily see how these aliens have come to put themselves Into this defiant at- Utude. Unfortunately for them and for this country, they are copying a procedure which some American citizens employ. They are doing in Ame! what some Americans do. But they are copying the wrong style of American. The great majority of Ameri- can workmen obey the law. They take their controversies Into courts of law, or betore arbitrators, and abide by the result. They do not threaten destruction of prop- erty, and so make it necessary for the authorities to cali out troops to preserve property and keep the peace. The troops at Croton dam are there of right, and in obedience to the law’s man- date. They are the friends of every law- abiding citizen of that locality. Thay ara the enemies only of such as meditate wrong and may be conspiring to commit wrong. One of their number has been killed from ambush. There may be 4 any hour. If one occurs, the bleod of those who fall In defiance of authority will be thelr own heads. For whether Italian ts American citizens, they will » paid the just penalty of crime and folly.

One of the most obvious lessons of this unfortunate affair about the invitation of .the Spanish minister to Chicago's celebra- tion of the battle of Manila is that the cities of this country are entirely too free in their relations with the foreign represen- tatives at this capital. The State Depart- ment officials are reported as feeling some- what vexed that the enterprising Chica- goans should have addressed themselves direct to the Spanish minister and possibly others of the diplomatic corps without availing themselves of the regular channe!s of communication with these functionartes. ‘This is evidently not inspired by a feeling s guardianship of a special privi- There are many forms and cereme peculiar to the approach of the for- eign representatives, which are known to the full only to the authorities of the dip- lomatic branch of the government. It is a delicate ground on which the ministers and ambassadors tread. Pitfalis yawn in every direction. It is but necessary to re- call the sad fate of Sackville to understand how slight is the margin between propriety and impropriety of conduct on their part. Sackville, of course, was entrapped because of his own folly. The Duke of Arcos proves himself too shrewd to be caught napping. There is, to be sure, no exact paraliel between the two cases, for Sack- ville offended this government by his ac- ceptance of an invitation to express an opinion as to the presidential candidates, while If Arcos had gone to Chicago he would have offended his own government alone. At the same time the extension of THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, APRIL 20, 1900-16 PAGES. the Invitation in {itself might have been construed by sensitive Spain as an affront sufficient to call forth a protest and so to involve the two countries in a diplomatic correspondence certain to be humiliating to the United States. That the affair has produced only a humorous situation Is a matter for congratulation. At the same time ft shows how easily the ice over which the diplomats skate may be broken by even an inadvertence. It would be far more dig- nified, courteous and safe henceforth for all persons, corporations and municipall- ties to confine their addresses to the for- eign representatives to the regularly estab- lished channels. ——___ += _____ Senator Mason may yet be called upon to make a definite explanation as to whether he meant to cast aspersions on the Senate's spelling, or was merely orating, when he said the members of that august body could not meet the ordinary high school test. += _____ It seems strangely perverse of the Ital- Jans at Croton dam to insist on making trouble when they ought to be peacefully singing In grand opera choruses. ————————e It is a great relief to Washington base ball reporters not to be called upon to ex- plain why the home team was beaten yes- terday. ——__++-_____ Nobody has had the cruel injustice to suggest that the quality of the city’s milk might be improved by filtering the water. —_—__-2 + = —_____ Mr. Webster Davis may modify his arith- metic, but he will not take back any of his rhetoric. —_—__< + + ____ SHOOTING STARS, Monotony. “I understand that you have ordered an- other retreat for tomorrow,” said the Fili- pino soldier. “Yes,” answered the officer. “Well, I suppose we must get up and travel.

Sweet spring with blooming radiance glows— But oft you hear the mourning notes Of folk who purchased light-welght clothes Instead of heavy overcoats.

They won't let me spell words my own way.” He Was Astonished. “Do you mean to say that the horse ran away with you!” said Mr. Meekton, aghast. “Yes,” answered his wife. “And wouldn't stop when you told him wo?” “Of course he wouldn’ “Well, Henrietta, I don't know what to say, except that the horse wasn’t acquaint- ed with you, or else he wouldn't have dared to act In that manner.” A Weird Suggestion. “I don't beli that some of the people in Congress could answer the questions about the English language which come up in the public schools,” sald one legislator. “Great Scott!" returned the other; “you don't want to extend the system and make it include the training of pupils to dictate to stenographers, so that they won't have to bother about such matters!"

The time to press upon Turkey the claim for damages of American citizens is now; this month and this summer. This is the time to teach not only Turkey, but all the rest of the world, including our own citi zen that we shall enforce the claim of American citizens the world over. The lesson which Decatur taught the Barbary pirates was worth millions to the develop- ment of America. It never ought to have been forgotten, but If it has been a second chapter of simflar sort would immensely increase respect for our position as a world power. ——————»>e-—___ Doing Our Best by Porto Rico. From the Louis Globe-Demoerat. The selection of Charles H. Allen for gov- ernor of Porto Rico is an admirable choice. It gives satisfaction to all parties and sec- tions. It will give pleasure to the Porto Ricans. This selection 1s an assurance that all the officials chosen by the admin- stration for service in Porto Rico will be worthy of their posts. It is well for the United States to begin right in this matter. The country owes an obligation to the islanders for their hearty welcome to the American troops in the war of 1898, and it is paying this debt at the present moment. ———— + + = _____ Popular Election of Senators, From the Chleago Times-Herald. It ts evident that the Senate will not move to give the people a chance to adopt a reform which they overwhelmingly be- lieve essential to the preservation of the republican principle in the Senate. The people will, therefore, have to fall back “on the application of the legislatures of two-thirds of the several states” for the call of a convention for proposing this amendment to the Constitution. The peo- ple are in earnest in this matter, and it will be presented to the national ‘conven- tions of both parties at Philadelphla and Kansas City. If the republicans fall to meet it at Philadelphia they will have to meet it at the polls In November. ———_2o____ Batter and Oleomargarine. From the Philadelphia Record. The sale of oleomargarine as butter is a double fraud upon the purchaser. He ts defrauded in the delivery of a product he does not wish to buy, and In the price he is made to pay for it. Oleomargurine sell- ing as butter is making its way in all mar- kets. Selling as a cheap substitute for but- ter on its admitted merits it would be a more dangerous leveler of prices. If it should be sold for what it is the prejudice against it would gradually disappear, and the demand would grow. The oleomarga- rine manufacturers seek to justify the col- oring of their product because the butter makers also resort to the practice. It is this artifice thay chiefly serves to enable the seller to impose upon the buyer, and it is to be hoped that the courts will declare such sophistication unlawful. Such a de- ees Would go far to prevent further raud. ———~2e—___ Another Indication of Prosperity. From the St. Paul Pioneer Press. That the new 2 per cent refundi mn are popular with the general public Pes wa as with the banking institutions, is shown by the fact that of the $254,000,000 bonds thus far exchanged over $32,000,000 are from individuals and institutions other than na- tional banks. It also shows that the era of prosperity inaugurated by the election of President McKinley enables the general public to invest in bonds. [SMART “Jenness [liller” Oxfords, *3.
