A Fine Record of l,ocal Legl*Uti,,B* |
The record of local legislation secured at
the session of Congress soon to close,
printed In another part of today's paper, Is I
unusually long and replete with items of
the first importance. The District is neces
sarily a constant petitioner for these legis- J
lative favors. Its needs are many. Its ex- i
pansion is steady, its municipal wants are |
constantly changing. Hence this annual
requisition upon Congress for not only i
larger appropriations but for n?w laws af- ,
fectlng the rapidly developing municipality: '
Street railroads, steam railroads, sewers, j
schools, police and fire protection, street
extension, water supply, telephone rates, !
wire-burial?these are but a few of the j
topics always in issue. This year the re- |
suit of our legislature's labors is most
gratifying. The budget is liberal and con
tains many It^ms ot appropriation that ma
terially enlarge the scope of the work of
succeeding sessions. The capital is at last
given the privilege of consulting a free
municipal public library, maintained upon .
equitable grounds and capable of enlarge
ment into a model institution of its kind.
It obtains the benefit of a revised street
extension law, the prospect of an early ma- !
terial enlargement of its water supply and
perhaps &s well of the purification of the j
supply. It is given additional school fa- ;
cilitus, including a manual training school
for which there has been an urgent need
for some years. It obtains a materially
lower schcdul* of public telephone rates.
It secures larger allowances for sewer
extensions ani In addition the prom
ise of a modern sewage disposal plant.
Its street railways art aided by certain
necessary legislation that will result, if
executed in accordance with the spirit of
Its enactment, in the practical abolition of
horse cars from the urban area without
violating the principle which excludes from
that area the menacing and unsightly over
load wire system. Provision is made for
the proper treatment of minor contagious
diseases, while a step is taken toward the
reclamation of the Anacostia flats. Many
miscellaneous enactments add to the local |
statutes affecting a variety of interests,
generally in the direction of local better
ment. There is. in short, every reason for
general congratulation. The citizens feel
especially grateful to the chairmen o? the
two I>i.?trict committees and to their col
leagues on those hard-working bodies, and
to the District subcommittees of the appro
priations committees, as well as to their
congressional legislators In general. The
Commissioners and the Board of Trade I
have co-operated effectively in this cam
paign for wise local legislation. If every I
session were to produce a similar amount of
beneficial legislation affecting the material
intertsts of the national capital the day of
its attainment of true metropolitan propor
tions in its peculiar character as the na
tional city of the republic would soon ar
rive.
The Buttle of Santiago.
The first general land fighting of the war
with Spain Is in progress near Santiago,
, and perhaps by this time decisive results
! have been secured. Yesterday's engage
w nt seems to have been general, in ac
cordance with a well defined plan of action.
The co-operation of the ships was seem
ingly a material aid to the land forces,
which closed steadily in upen Santiago
?without repulse at any point, as far as can
be ascertained from the somewhat meaner
accounts that have been received. It Is pre
sumed that the fighting was resumed this
m< rning, although no dispatches sent to- |
day have made definite statement to this
effect. The American losses are apparently '
heavy, and it is to be hoped that the sacri- |
lice was to a good end. The American line
extended from Caney on the north to Morro '
Castle on the south. The latter point was ]
apparently an objective of great import- [
ance. for if it were secured the success of j
an assault upon the city and the Spanish
squadron In the inner harbor would be al
most assuied. There is some mention to
day of Pando's success in getting his rein
forcing troops into Santiago. This rein
forcement may result in postponing some
what the final capture of the city, but it
cannot pievent it entirely, for the invading
fcrce is strong and well disciplined, and
from the first accounts of the fighting they
And little trouble In pressing the Spaniards
back from one position to another. The full
stcry of the battle of Santiago is awaited
with a keen interest that cannot be meas
ured. The ancient capital of Cuba ought to
be occupied by American troops in time to
be included in next Monday's ceremonies
and celebrations.
The L'tglral Hmult?I a Ion.
"Kamehameha's" latest letter to The
Star from Honolulu, printed today, is a
strong argument for the Immediate annex
ation of Ha salt. based upon the reception
and entertainment of the American troops
on their way to Manila. This country has
f<%epted the hospitality of Hawaii and
profited by Its breach of neutrality In such
a manner as to bin 1 it inevitably to a closer
union. The present position of Hawaii in
the campaign crnnot be maintained. An
nexation, which tor several years has been
to our interest, Is converted by the wiar
ir.to a necessity and now becomes by our
?use of Ha-.vali as a part of the United
States a point of honor.
France has evidently reached the discreet
conclusion that it is better to cultivate
good customers than to waste too much
energy on bad debts.
The Anvrlcan man is quite as enthusi
astic in taking risks with real firearms as
the Air.er.can boy Is in celebrating with
Cannon crackers.
Hew and ihr Old. ?
The democratic conventions, state and
Congress, everywhere are reaffirming the
Chicago platform, and simply as a matter
of form it is all very well. But do the poli
ticians exp;-ot to rouse the people this year
?r. the issues which proved good texts for
thundering-discourses two ysars ago?
Who can hope to repeat this year with
any but disastrous effect to his own side
the Bryan argument about silver and
-wheat? That carried the 1<5 to 1 demand
through the whole of the agricultural belt
In ISMx What U the particular reason for
renewing the assault on the Supreme Court?
That tribunal has dons nothing particularly
outrageous in the last two years. The talk
?bout an Income tax. as everybody under
stands. is nothing but agitation. The clat
ter against the rich has lost its force In the
light of recent developments. War has dem
onstrated that rich and poor alike love the
country and unite la bearing the heaviest
burdens. Why rail against an issue of
bonds to help defray the cost of the war
when th} people themselves?the holders of
ccodest hoardings?come forward gladly and
subscribe 'or the full amount?
Tbs Chicago platform la a back number.
Questions of far greater magnitude than 1
any presented in that Instrument are up.
End the people ar? Interested in th?m. The>
are seeking light on them. They are to be
called upon to pass on them. The war with
Spain has widened everybody's horizon.
What about a larger navy? What about
the Nicaragua canal? What st;ps shall be
taken to insure a growing American trade
in the far east? What sort of terms shall
be imposed upon Spain for her criminal
folly in bringing on hostilities?
These questions completely dwarf the old
questions, and political compasses must be
adjusted to th?m. Mr. Bryan himself, a
very alert man, is one of the first to see the
point. Mr. Cleveland also has his flag up
again. Why, therefore, lay any stress on
the Chicago platform? Why make an ado
ovjr a last year's bird's nest? The democ
racy would do much better to instruct Its
leaders In Congress to change their tactics
about the government's war policy. Plat
form indorsements of the war which come
in direct conflict with the performances of
the party Waders In Congress are of small
moment.
The EnglUh-SprnUing People.
The world is getting a pretty clear idea
now of what Is meant by Anglo-Saxon unity
and purpose. Discussion is making many
things plain. Nice and contracted defini
tions and meanings which appeal to
scholars and casuists are not being em
ployed in conveying popular sentiments to
the masses. When, therefore. It is said
that the Anglo-Saxons are getting together,
and that the world will soon feel the bene
ficial effects of their united efforts, the
Celt Is as much included as the lineal An
glo-Saxon. What is intended is that the
men of English speech are drawing closer
together, and that thus united they will
represent a power and capacity equal to
greater things than have ever yet been
perforired bj men. In the great march
forward the Irishman and the Welshman
help form the procession with the Eng
lishman and the American.
The union is as good as formed. No hard
and fast compact has been drawn, nor will
be. No instrument of writing signed and
sealed by high commissioners is necessary.
This war. in which the United States has
put itself forward as the champion of lib
erty and humanity, has shown how strong
the tie Is that binds. The Englishman in
far-off Australia sympathizes as warmly
with us as does the Englishman in nearby
Canada, while the Irishman in America
shculders his gun and goes to the front
ai readily as he would were Ireland her
self embroiled. It is the spirit of kinship
that controls. The common language and
all that goes with it make for the union.
So strongly is this influence working now,
that It is not too much to expect that the
Irish question itself will be affected by it.
Ccmplaint in Ireland against England is
not nearly so strong as It used to be. The
great work of Mr. Parnell and of Mr. Glad
stone is bearing good fruit. Hope is held
out in more than one development that
with more liberal treatment Ireland will
become one of England's sources of
strength.
It is ai era for improvement in govern
ment. The English-speaking people are
masters of the art of governing, and when
they operate in unison for progress their
force will be' irresistible.
Hot Weather Aricues for tuentlon.
The hot weather of the last few days
should remind senators who are disposed
I to filibuster against annexation that the
American troops in Cuba and those who
are probably now in Manila are surrounded
} by far worse climatic conditions than those
I that are locally prevalent. This recollec
tion should stir whatever of patriotic senti
ment may remain in them, to the end that
they will step aside from the path of na
tional progress and permit the war to be
carried on to the be9t advantage. Ttie
sharp fighting of the American troops be
fore Santiago ought to remind every legis
lator of his duty to the country. The same
kind of work will soon be In progress in the
Philippines, where the climate Is, if possi
ble, hotter than in Cuba, and where there
are certain conditions favoring the out
break of disease among the troops, and
from which point it is certain that wounded
and suffering men will soon be sent home
ward. Hawaii, midway between the shores
of the great ocean, is blessed with one of
the most delightful climates in the world,
mild, pleasant and health-giving. It will
form an ideal resting point or hospital sta
tion for the sick and wounded of the Amer
ican forces in the Philippines. It can be so
utilized rightfully if annexation is accom
plished before the starting back of such
transports and hospital ships as, in t,ie or
dinary course of warfare, are certain to be
required later to bring back the disabled
members of the American expedition.
Spain should not give up the quest of a
government that will show some sympathy
for its methods and institutions without
making a last fraternal appe-al to Turkey.
Great Britain, In looking over the history
of this country, will be Impressed by the
fact that circumstances alter cases when It
comes to stamp acts.
With reference to the reports of mutila
tion, It Is gladly conceded that Spain con
ducts its atrocities in a wholesale manner
as far as possible.
The principal beer tax will continue to be
on the system of the man who insists on
consuming too much of the beverage in
warm weather.

Ex-President Cleveland is not the first
man who has wasted a great deal of valu
able time waiting for a chance to say "I

Unless Mr. Piatt Is careful he may come
to be regarded as having more influence
with New York democrats than he has with
republicans.

generals may depe nd largely oh the jailer's
good nature in providing writing materials.

Juvrsilr Diversions.
Vnni' tb* Am;j aiul Navy Uegister.
The United States Senate has been giving
another illustration of its ridiculous meth
ods. For several days that body wasted its
time in a purposeless debate on the annex
ation of Hawaii. It resembled, in all its
discreditable characteristics, the egotistical
debate in the HoUBe on the appropriation
of the emergency fund and the long-drawn
out, senseless discussion in the Senate on
tlve declaration of war. The curious fea
ture of the Hawaiian debate has been the
bulking of the majority. The view and
vote of no member of the Senate are In
fluenced. modified or changed in any par
ticular by the debate. It is simply a gams
of tiring out and it is quite as creditable
to the dignity and patriotism of senators
as If they rolled hoop around the Senate
chamber or played marbles upon its floor.
In many respects these Juvenile diversions
would be more satisfactory to the country
and be more conducive to public interests
than the wearisome, unproductive debate
tr ade possible by the obstructionists in the
minority.

1% hlte itud Morgan.
From the San Francisco Kxamlner (Dem.).
Senator White angrily protests that he
Is not filibust ?ring. We do not know what
Senator White calls his action in regard
to the Newlando resolutions, but most
people who are not employes 6f the Sugar
Trust characterlre the policy of the Senate
minority, led by White, as filibustering of
a very extreme type. Mr. White's an?er
was due to a protest by Senator Morgan,
who said, among other things:
"By our delay ln taking action we are
placing enormous turdens upon the Presi
dent. Such conduct !s absolutely inde
fensible. By endeavoring to consummate
a political trick unworthy of the Senate,
we are failing of patriotic duty. Wh^n
you return to your constituents, to the
fathers whose sons are now in the Phil
ippine Islands, they will know of this trick
and they will spurn you."
Senator White should reflect that nine
out of ten people in California believe him
to be mistaken ln 1 is course of opposition
to the annexation of Hawaii. It should
give him cause for thought that the only
support he gets In California on this ques
tion comes from the organ of the Sugar
Trust. His constituents do not Impugn
his motives. There is even no objection
to the expression of his opinions in a rea
sonable and moderate way. but there Is a
very strong and decided objection to his
lesort to the discreditable practice of fili
bustering. which alms to accomplish by
indirection that which car.not be done di
rectly. If the charge made by Senator
Morgan were not true Mr. White would
rot be angry, but it is true and the while
world knows it. That is why Mr. White
feels hurt.
But when Mr. White attacks the senator
from Alabama, he should remember that
he is attacking one who has endeared him
self to the people of California by his
strenuous support of their cause against
the funding-bill schemes of Mr. Hunting
ton. and this was at a time when Mr.
White's industry was not at all so con
spicuous as it is at ;he present moment,
when he is filibustering to defeat the
wishes of the vast majority of his con
stituents.
A Democrat anil an American.
Frcm the Kansas City Star (lnd.k
Touching the annexation of Hawaii, the
democrats in the Senate would do well to
follow the example of Representative
Charles F. Cochran of the St. Joseph. Mo.,
district. The speech of this gentleman was
a magnificent exemplification of the differ
ence between colonisation and conquest. He
squarely and fearlessly advocated annexa
tion, on the ground that Hawaii, through
her own action, was already a colony of
the United States, and that this govern
ment, under the circumstances, had no
moral right to decline her overtures.
Even to the casual observer, the differ
ence in the status of Hawaii, Porto Rico
and the Philippines is easily discernible, the
first coming to us voluntarily, the two last
through conquest. The Star beliefs that
both Hawaii and Porto Rico are necessary
to this country, that the one should be an
nexed Immediately, and the other Incorpor
ated as a part of this country at the earliest
moment possible. The problem of the Phil
ippines is. one that must be considered, both
from a moral and commercial standpoint.
There Is no immediate necessity for its de
cision. Let It be considered from a dis
passionate and non-partisan standpoint, and
we have no fear of the result.
In the meantime it is unfortunate there
are not more democrats in Congress of
equal capacity with Charles. Fremont Coch
ran.
Annex by Treaty!
From tbe New York 1UU and Express.
Now that the obstructionists in the Sen
ate frankly admit that the annexation ol
Hawaii cannot be delayed any longer, all
hands should unite to perform the final act
by a formal exercise of the treaty-making
power. The Newlands resolution now be
fore the Senate would accomplish the full
purpose for which it was designed. It Is a
perfectly sound, constitutional measure
backed by historic precedent and entirely in
harmony with national tradition and policy
It was prepared, however, as an expedient
to meet a grave emergency?Its object being
to annex Hawaii by legislative processata
time when It seemed impossible to accom
plish the desired result by treaty.
Recent developments in the Senate show
that annexation can be affected either by
adopting the Newlands resolution or by
ratifying the treaty, as was first proposed.
The friends of Hawaii have enough votes
to carry either of those measures, it must,
therefore, be clear to the opponents as well
as to the supporters of the project that It
should be consummated by the regular
formal and dignified process specifically
Srescrlbed by the Constitution. The acqulsl
on of Hawaii la destined to mark the
dawn of a new epoch ln our national ute;
It will stand out among the memorable
evonts ln the closing years of a century of
American progress, and every consideration
of patriotism, propriety and national self
respect requires that the proceeding shall
be invested with all the dignity, seriousness
and official formality which our institutions
permit In such undertakings.
