THE DAVIS RESOLUTION.
T.s
: mere IS Hardly Member in the House
Who Endorses It.

Washington, Jan. 2l.-The predic-
ton is freely made by members of the
House Committee on Forign Affairs
that if the proposed re-atlirmation of
the Monroe doctrine is adopted by the
Senate and sent over TO the House for
action, it will be quietly allowed to
rest in the committee files. A canvass
of more than a majority of the COM
mittee failed to discover any member
who endorsed il.
Courtesy to the colleagues of the
Senate impels the members of the com
mittee in the other house TO refrain
from putting themselves ON record in
interviews as opposed TO the resolu-
ton, but in conversation they do not
hesitate to criticize the verbiage of it
and TO deprecate the policy which
brings it forward at this particular
time. One OF the foremost authorities
on diplomatic matters in the House
said that he deemed it very poor diplo-
macy to take any steps tending to in
crease the tension between this govern
ment and Great Britain, in which it
practically amounted 10 Il crisis.
The committee members think it Will
he better policy to side-track the reso-
luton without and demonstration of
disapproyal than 10 make an adverse
report upon it to the House. They say
that it viii be impolitic TO evoke any
of discord in Congress up
on a question of foreign policy, and
that if the concurrence of the House
is not to be secured for the resolution,
and they believe that it viii not be,
the friction over it should be mini
mZed.

Hoist With His Own Petard.

Across the Atlantic comes wall of truly
British despair. English journalists have
inquired 1t cut that no matter which Of the
presidential candidates wins England will
surely suffer. If Mckinley Is victorious
then they look for a renaissance Of high
protection, with all its disadvantages to
British industries. The administration of
national affairs by Bryan threatens, they
say, to bring about a CONFUSION which
might shake the old world to its founda-
tions. 1t is very affecting, of course, to
hear the cr.es of our transatlantic relatives
and friends but We have troubles Of our
own and Our normally sympathetic hearts
are hardened when we remember that the
British free trade propaganda is largely
the cause of the depression and discomfort
that found voice in the democratic and
populist platforms. Insufficiency of ma
tional income, the result of means that
tickled England Immensely, compelled the
issue of bonds and encouraged that con-
servatism of capital and that general dis
trust which has crippled industry and man.

discussion of finance. The British capital

millions of dollars and vast quantities Of
war-munitions. There Is no.war in Cuba, !"
says Weyler. 1.-The rebels do not number
more than 35,OOO;'' declares that same
truth-defying authority. Yet the captain
general dares not take the field against one
fragment of the Cuban army until rein
forcements arrive from Spain. What will
happen when the reinforcements arrive
may be guessed at from some of the news
which the press censor at Havana sends
out without any apparent compunction.
The hero of this brief unvarnished tale 's
one Major Yglesias, who has been operat-
ing in the province of Matanzas. That
valiant warrior succeeded, after several
hours of fighting, in capturing and destroy
ing a Cuban field-hospital. For that act of
bravery Yglesias will undoubtedly be dec
Grated by a grateful sovereign. From any
other service than that of Spain he would
ere this have been dismissed in disgrace
for the most inhuman of all the many va
rieties of inhumanity. When Weyler gets
his reinforcements the Cubans will need to
look out for their hospitals. Able-bodied
Cuban soldiers massed In sufficient force
to make any kind of fight, will have little
to fear, but the wounded, helpless and COM
paratively unprotected revolutionists have
good reason for shuddering at the fate
which awaits them when the commander
OF fglesias arrays himself for conquest.

Gratifying,

Religious newspapers throughout the
country seem to he much pleased with the
comprehensive, accurate. and deeply-inter-
esting report of the Christian Endeavor
convention printed In The Star. In one
ease-that of the Denver Active Member
the admira tion reached an advanced stage,
for that publication says editorially:
1T is seldom that we attempt to publish
the Active Member without using some
original matter, but in this number We will
devote the news columns entirely to re-
printing extracts clipped from The Even
ing Star of Washington II. G.. which paper
devoted a vast amount of space in its is
sues of July to IA to reporting the inter
national Christian Endeavor convention.
The Stars reputation for thoroughness
has long been locally established. Much as
the convention work may have astonis he'd
people unscquainted with The Star it did
not surprise the people of Washington;
they know what to expect and they are not
disappointed.

The Potomac River Regatta.

There ought to be a big crowd of Wash
ipctonians out to witness the Potomac
river regatta Saturday afternoon. Local
athletes are, for some reason or other,
few in number, SO there is all the more
reason why popular enthusiasm should be
displayed The regatta program is q good
ore. Those Who read 1t. in The Star, must
have been pleased with the character and
the variety of the contests in which brain
AID Drawn, suitably combined. will play
their parts. Boating as We know 1t here is
clean sport; its Influences are good. 1t de-
velops the physical and mental man and
deserves the hearty support of the COM
munity.
