THE EVE^LXG STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY February 24, 1902. CROSBY S. NO YES Editor. Ill K KXhTStnti ST AH has a rfgnlar ? nil permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined clr rnlntlon of the other Washington dallies. As a HfWi and Advertising kfedlnm It hni no competitor. 171 n order to avoid delay* on ae rount of pernonal absence, letter* to ?HB STAR should not be addressed any Individual connected with the Office, bnt simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Boslnesa Depart ments. according to tenor or purpose. Prince Henry of Prussia. "Washington's welcome to Prince Henry Is of the heartiest encl sincerest character. The people are truly happy to see him. | IIIj mission Is of so gallant and Interest ing a nature, and he Is so admirably quail fled to discharge ft both by reason of his exalted station and his attractive qualities as a man, that everybody Is at attention. Even the clerk of the weather, who has been htfvlng his own time with us for sev eral days, has taken his cue from the faces of the people, and the day smiles too. May tho distinguished visitor's stay in town af ford him as much pleasure as It will us. and may he carry away a lasting Impres sion of our friendship and good will. He is advised of course that this Is but the beginning of what awaits him all along the line of a WQll arranged Itinerary. He Is in good hands, and the purpose Is to "show him the sights," as the American phrase 1#. He is an experienced traveler, and he starts in fine health; but there are enor mous crowds awaiting him and feasts with many pew dishes and beverages, and his warmest friends may Justly be a little so licitous as to the condition of his right | hand and his digestion when all Is over and he sails from New York for home. The brew will suit him, because much of it an swers to old world receipts, but some of the pastry proves formidable at times even to nntlve stomachs, and he might surrender to that without losing caste at table. Still he should take the chances, for he will not have sudled us In one of our most Interest ing estates unless he masters the mys teries of the American pi<?. So while the newspapers here and there abroad may be talking about solemn ques tions of state, and reading this result and that and this aim and that In the visit. Prince Henry and the American people, now that they are face to face, will devote themselves solely to the social aspects and opportunities of the occasion. And In do ing that they will serve every possible end that either directly or Indirectly may at tach to the presence of the prince in the United States. Both sides are at their ease. Prince Henry cannot turn In any direction without seeing evidences of tho ties that already bind the United States to Germany, while the American people in taking his hand will be reminded of their already abundant knowledge of the sturdl ness of the German character and the firm ness of the German purpose. Once again then, a cordial welcome to Prince Henry, In his own right and In that of the representative of his brother. The Manhattan Club Dinner. There was some very pretty and harm less generalizing at the Manhattan Club dinner In New York Saturday night. Har mony was the watchword, and nobody of fended. Every shopworn political platitude was mustered for service. "We must get together." was the cry, but nobody showed the road. A national platform constructed out of the suggestions offered would be a curiosity of political literature and the jest of practical men everywhere. There Is little risk in the prediction that no such platform will be constructed by the demo crats In 1004. They may not deliver them belves in the boldest way, but they are rea sonably certain not to make "Jack Busby" chairman of the committee on resolutions. It w..uld be better for them in the end to say the wrong thing than to say nothing. David B. Hill and Mayor Collins of Boston uttered the only two things worthy of seri ous attention. Mr. Hill declared that New York would be the battle ground In 1904, which. In effect, was also to declare that New York must give to the democracy Its candidate. Mayor Collins, as In reply, said tins; "From oux New England experience, we stand by our ancient principles of nomi nating the best democrat, wherever he lives. The party as a whole will rally to him and public opinion will support the choice." The B^stonlan ought to have known that If any definite purpose Is to be descried on the democracy's horizon at this time that purpose Is to return if possible to the old arrangement which prevailed between 1808 ar.d 1M*?, by which New York as the tail waggtd the party dog. The south is ready again to efface herself at the nominating convention, and for that matter so Is New England, and let New York have her way about the candidate and a very great deal about the platform. The talk therefore about "nominating the best democrat wherevtr lives" is moonshine. There is no iiuiibt ubiut his residence. He lives In New York, and the difficulty now is about picking him out. But this difficulty Is of considerable pro portions. and It is even now in evidence. A governor is to be elected In New York n>oct November, and in order properly to impress themsclv'3 on their party friends in the south and In the middle states the d n-K-rats o? the empire state must elect their canJidate. Is it within their power? They :ire divided into two factions. Mr. Hill is the leader of one faction, and Bieh ard Croker of the other. Nobody of course Is counting Mr. Croker out of politics. If Mr. Hill names the candidate will .he Croker faction support him? If Mr. Croker n irr.es the Candidate will the Hill faction support him? If the candidate Is slaugh ttred at the polls what will be the effect on New York's purpose to name the presiden ts! candidate in l'JOi? New York Is a great state, and was never more interest ing as a political quantity than now. Public men will hereafter be awake to the fset that an invitation to a public function is sent with the condition implied that they shall be good In the meantime. it Is safe to assume that Representative Whi i l?r was not on the sidewalk watch ing the princely procession this morning. The Hawaiian Situation. "Kimehameha's" latest letter to The Star, pr'nted in today's Issue, clearly reveals the state ??f tnind regarding the possibility of Governor Dole's removal on the part of jthose in Hawaii who stand for honesty and effectiveness of administration, for prog ress and for peace. These are the men who, with Governor Dole at their head, successively and successfully opposed the el> raents which would have held Hawaii In th-' mire of corrupt royalism. They are the men who secured annexation, and who. pending thf acceptance of the islands by th-? United States, at the peril virtually of their lives and surely of their estates, main tained a friendly attitude toward this gov ernment during Its war w:fh Spain, when It sorely needed a Pacific half-way house. They represent today the highest character In the Islands. Governor Dole la undeniably antagonistic to the radical reactionary party of Hawaii. As The Star's correspondent says, he has fought them as in one guise and another they have undertaken to oreak down the republican structure which he and his col leagues painfully reared in the Islands. When the misguided natives placed this factor In control of the legislature Governor Dele was required either to surrender the archipelago deliberately to their mischiev ous incompetency and their royalist schemes or to stand staunchly by the principles which he had so long represented and which had been with Hawaii adopted by the United States. He would have been recreant to his trust had he yielded then to secure the ease of a pusillanimous peace between him and the dominant legislative party. That he did not weaken, that he preserved Hawaii from a scandalous regime of mls gevernment and corruption. Is now the basis of the charges against him, upon which his enemies hope to secure his re moval from office. The very fact that he and the so-called "Home-rulers" cannot agree, averred as a reason for a change, Is the strongest possible Indorsement of his administration for the gt>od of HawalL Governor Dole personally is willing enough to retire from office, provided h? can yield to a successor capable of maintaining tha territory upon a sound basis and of safe guarding Its interests. But the white resi dents of the Islands are not willing that he should be forced out of office by the mal contents, the schemers, the royalists and the place-seekers who now constitute the "anti-Dole faction." The President, ac cording to "Kamehameha's" letter to The Star, has summoned Mr. George Carter to Washington for consultation. It is evi dent that Mr. Carter, while worthy to be summoned in a council of conference, will not prove a reliable sole adviser upon Ha waiian affairs. His prejudices, possibly his own ambitions, prevent him from being en tirely acceptable as th*e Warwick of the situation. If the President wants light upon Hawaiian affairs he should summon here the men of highest standing in the Islands, Including Governor Dole himself, j who knows Hawaii probably better today than most others and whose personal char acter is such that he is surely at this criti cal Juncture entitled to be heard if not in his own behalf, at least In behalf of the isl8nds he loves and with the rescue of which he has been so closely identified. The Senate Must Act. The Senate must surely do something in this latest emergency to maintain and pro tect its dignity if it is to retain national respect. The episode of Saturday was so disgraceful as to warrant the severest penalties. When analyzed it discloses three distinct stages: First, Senator Till man's charge that a fellow senator had accepted a bribe in the shape of patronage from President McKInley as the price of his vote on the treaty of peace: second, Senator McUaurin's denial of this chargc In language which is generally conceived to be prohibited by the unwritten laws of parliamentary usage: third. Senator Till man's savage physical assault upon his colleague, which the latter met in self defense. Without regard to the personalities of the two men, it cannot be denied that the last item of this disgraceful progression of events was the most flagrant offense against the Senate and the country at large. As to the first stage, Senator Tillman's charge of bribery, that belongs to another line of Inquiry, and must be considered and answered at greater length than Is neces sary In the. present adjustment of the im mediate issues growing out of the assault. As to Senator McUaurin's language in de nial there may be two opinions. Point blank refutation of assertions is common in congressional debates. A week st ldom passes when the declarations of speakers are not flatly contradicted. Usually, how ever, the language employed is more or less euphemistic. It must be remembered that the Senate of the United States is not the state of South Carolina, or a public street of Washington. Whereas outside of its walls a principle prevails generally among men that the "passing of the lie" is tanta mount to a blow, such a principle cannot be extended to excuse physical violence In the chambers. Conduct permissible, or ex cusable, under ordinary circumstances Is reprehensible in the course of debate, In the solemn processes of legislation for the country. The mere fact that Senator Mc Laurin did not see fit to employ a synonym in his denial, that he chose to use the most specific and direct language possible, did not warrant the invoking of the privilege which some men claim and some concede of Instant retaliation by physical force. Sen ator McUaurln's words and blows were both delivered in self-defense. With the one he met in denial a foul and offensive charge: with the other he resisted a phys ical assault. So a line of distinction must be drawn be tween the two cases. The Senate, pending further action, has properly adjudged both men to be in contempt, thereby preventing further disturbances within the legislative halls for the present and securing a truoe which will permit calm judgment. It Is confronted with a serious duty in dealing with Senator Tillman. If It palliates this assault upon its dignity by a mild rebuke or a technical punishment it invites future disorder and disgraceful consequences. It weakens its prestige and lessens its public usefulness. By boorish and Insulting lan guage Mr. Tillman has many times broughf discredit upon the Senate: and to violence provoking words he now adds blows. Whatever the Judgment of the Senate may be, it should be and presumably will be so declared as to permit no misunder standing. Debate in Congress must be pre served upon a plane of substantial respect for the traditions, and for the present re sponsibilities of the national legislature. Unparliamentary language and fist-fights must be proportionately punished unless the country is to henceforth regard Congress with utter contempt. ? ? ? Prince Henry would doubtless have ap preciated more thoroughly the courtesy conveyed by the flying of two brand-new flags hoisted today over the Post Office building if he could have seen the tattered remnants which they replaced and which fluttered Saturday in honor of Washing ton's birthday. President Palma of Cuba says that there must be a 50 per cent reduction before the island can be prosperous. The ways and means committee suggests only 20 per cent and it Is not likely that either party would be content with a compromise of 33 per cent. ?? ? ? The country scarcely gets rid of a con troversy between naval officers before a controversy between senators is thrust upon its attention. The Park Avenue Hotel was called "fire proof." That word Is one of the most abu3ed In the modern vocabulary. Manslaughter by Inattention. The latest holocaust reported from New Ycrk has been followed by the customary Investigation Into the cause and responsi bility, and the Inquiry has brought the usual revelation that there was gross In difference to the ordinary precautions to protect life. The hotel building was a quarter of a century old, and though ex cellent in Its day was antiquated. Judged "fireproof" when built, it was a veritable flre trap under modern conditions. Trust ing to its original reputation, the.managers neglected to arouse the guests when fire broke out in an adjoining building, and nearly a score were killed in consequence. There were no fire escapes, no safety ropes In the rooms, no fire proofing around the elevator shafts, no flre hose in -the corri dors, not even a fire bucket. Evidently the law had slumbered while this hotel was being- rendered obsolete and dangerous by the changes In the building conditions, and the multiplication of dangers of proximity. After the Windsor Hotel burned, a year or so ago, very muoh the same state or affairs was disclosed. It was shown then that the building was obsolete In the most important requirements of precaution. The floors and walls offered the widest possible spread of fire, although the intervention of a few brick "fire stops" would have great ly reduced the danger, and, in the event or a fire, would have confined the conflagra tion to a comparatively small portion of the building, or at the least checked the rapidity of Its spread. It Is seldom that the public learns of of ficial intervention to compel proprietors of hotels to adopt new precautionary agencies. It has been many a day since a hostelry was condemned and destroyed by municipal order. Few Instances are on record of re construction In the Interest of public safety. Do not publlo officials take cognizance of these disasters as they do occur, and sweep the horizon for chances to better the condi tions of the hotels that remain Intact? In the case of the Windsor Hotel horror not a stroke in punishment was laid on by the courts for the neglect of somebody to cure the palpable Inadequacies of that build ing. Here Is a far more flagrant case of dereliction, virtually the basis of a broad charge of manslaughter, besides Indict ments for official neglect of duty. New York has taken a step In the right direction in the case of the rapid transit tunnel dyna mite explosion. Will It teach a wholesome lesson to all hotel proprietors and building Inspectors throughout the lan~ by moving sharply and unco: lpromisingly against those who are responsible for the condition of the Park Avenue Hotel? Federal Territorial Judges. From all that the public knows of the facts. Attorney General Knox's report to the President upon Judge Noyes of the Alaska circuit is eminently proper and tne President's expected indorsement of the recommendation of dismissal will doubtless meet with the approval of the country. Having given an earnest of his desire to purge the territorial judiciary, the Presi dent should next turn his attention" to Judge Humphreys of Hawaii, who has clearly proved his judicial unfitness and whose Interference in island politics has further diminished his usefulness as a judge. The three greatest disasters which New York has suffered for many years, the tun nel collision, the dynamite explosion and the latest hotel fire, occurred on the same street, Park avenue. Superstitious Goth aniites will soon begin to wonder whether there is a bona fide hoodoo connected wiiu the thoroughfare. m 0 ? The welcome to Prince Henry in this city was made doubly earnest by the fact that his coming led the authorities to clean up Pennsylvania avenue. For practical, as well as sentimental reasons, the Prince would be welcome two or three times a winter. ^ ? ? There is no good reason why Mr. Car negie should not be photographed in his evening clothes if he desires. In spite of his munificence, he still has money enough to buy the clothes and pay the photog rapher. Considering how much available space for physical encounters may be found in the parking around the Capitol, it Is very inconsiderate for senators to risk upsetting the furniture. ? ? ? New York's municipal government may not be always Ideal. But the city must be credited with some of the most interesting homicide mysteries that the continent pro duces. ? # ? Miss Stone has been set free again. Con stantinople correspondents say farewell to a good thing if they let this report reach the verification point. ^ ? ? It must be confessed that the sporting editor of the Congressional Record has a very amateurish account of the Tillman McLaurin affair. There will be no fight between Tillman and McLaurin. The duelling ground at Bladensburg is of interest only to tourists now-a-days. m ? The country will probably not adopt the South Carolina method of celebrating George Washington's birthday in Congress. ? 0 ? ? The situation in Spain seems so desperate that Don Carlos may conclude that it Is not prudent to interfere. 0 SHOOTING STARS. Self-Distrust. "W hat you lack," said the person who reads your character, "is self-confidence." "I can't help it." said the young man. "You see, I was for a number of years em ployed in the work of preparing weather predictions " Apprehensive. "Charley, dear," said Mrs. Torkins, "I'm going to learn to play golf." "All right. We'll both learn." "No Charley, I'd rather give it up my self than have you try it. Anybody who can get as much trouble out of a tack and a hammer as you do would be sure to get suspended from church if he tried to handle anything as difficult as a golf club." Indications. A dinner is a .strange affair. You sometimes learn a lot By noticing just who was there. And likewise, who was not. A Dread Alternative. "I hope that the differences between these two gentlemen," said the dignified states man, "will be patched up." "I'm afraid it will not be." "It must be. Otherwise we shall be con tinually interrupted in our business by the necessity of patching up the senators them selves." Unsentimental. "George Washington got a great deal of credit for not telling a lie." "Yes," answered the man who thinks that all is fair in business; "truthfulness often helps a man to get credit; but It sometimes interferes with his profits." Resentful. I tells you plain. Miss Weather, You shorely treats me wrong. You give me de cold shoulder An' you gives it to me strong. You jes' kep' on a-scowlin'. An' a-th'owin' snowballs, too. I tells you plain, Miss Weather, I were feelin' mighty blue. An' now you comes a-dancln', Wlf de laughter in yo' eye. An* you ac's like nuffin' happened In de days dat done gone by.
