Fefhaps the administration has some ex-
Cuse fer the seizure of the schooner G. r
Mallory. OF the Florida coast last Tuesday
evening, nut the chances are that the ex-
cuse VIII be lame enough to need crutches.
The attitude of the executive branch as to
TINS cuban question Is most surprising.
In every rational way the people of the
United States have made plain their sym-
pathy for the Cubans who are struggling
lor freedom: both Houses of Congress have
declafed themselves in language not to
De misunderstood, yet the executive powers
are undoubtedly employed in doing every
thing possible to assist Spain and dsscoyr-
age cuba, and are even straining the law

panied by soldiers CT prospective fighters,

The Law Must be Obeyed.

LaW-ahiding citizens cannot possibly ex-
cuse the law-defying erection of a pole on
Fifteenth street by the management of the
nited States Electric Light Company As
TO the merits of the company's case there
Is no present discussion: the point now to
be considered Is the fully-established fact
that Illegally and by stealth the agents of
the corporation named have placed in po-
sition on public street an obstruction
that should be removed at once As to
This there can be no argument no. can the
authorities afford to move in the direction
of compromise. Wisely framed statutes
vest in the District Commissioners certain
powers OF approval and disapproval. and
When the company made application for a
permit Tor the erection of the pole in Dues
tlon the Commissioners refused the author
ity which; the law declares is necessary to
the erection of such an obstruction. Con-
temptuous of the law, and in this particu-
lar instance, of the local sentiment in the
matter of poles and overhead wires the
compaEyS agents last night succeeded i'm
evadlES the gencrally-absent police-who-
IN view of threat made by the conpany's
president, should nave been especially yigt
iant-and pat the pole securely where they
said they would. The improperly of that
action Is evident. 1t is a challenge to the
authorities and an offense to every law
respecting citizen The situation demands
prompt action by the Commissioners When
comparatively insignificant individual de-
Ties the law he is speedily compelled to
realize how erroneous his ways are: there
should be similar treatment for law-break-
ing corporations.

New Haven and 1t may be that some mep-
Der Or members Of the crew viii retort In
kind but the chances are that the appear
ance of Yale at Henley will be regarded
as an. olive branch by the thoughtful
among the English people. That the boys
In blue will be supremely-victorious Is not
expected. For nearly twenty years Yale
has not raced with any talent other than
that presented. mainly, by Harvard, SO 1t
can hardly claim to be fit to meet-as 1t
VIII at Henley-some Of the finest crews
IN the world. But Yale does expect to
make creditable showing and it does ex-
pect to profit by Its experience. The posi-
bility OF serious error looms up, though, in
the announced program of the crew. It
is not enough to profit by your own ex-
perience; the experiences of other folks
should teach something The Yale prop
osftion Is to spend three weeks In train
ing on English waters, the theory being
that IN that short period of time the crew
Will become acclimated. Cornell tried that
ana testifies that its crew was in better
shape one week after reaching England
tnan at any time thereafter Other crews
and individuals have made the blunder
iaie proposes to repeat and have always
regretted their efforts to do in three or
TOUR weeks that which cannot be done in
less IMAM as many months. If the English
elghts can fairly get away with Yale
there Will be no complaint but Americans
generally will growl if Yale permits itself
to be defeated by dalliance with an ener-
waiting climate

Strike While the Iron is Hot!

The free library bill comes up for action
in the House next Monday. 1t has already
unanimously passed the Senate. The COM
missiencrs, the school trustees. the boar1
Of trade. the federation of labor and nearly
all Of the citizens associations have en-
listed in behalf of this measure, and now
only two days remain for the last vigorous
strokes of the campaign. Every Washing
tonian who Is interested in the proposed
library-and who is net?-should do his ut
most, whether that is much or little, to
make known to Representatives of his &C
quaintance the merits of this proposition.
There is no selfish personal interest to be
subserved in the free library project; Its
sole purpGSe is promotion of the public well
fare. 1t thus becomes everybody's business
and. according to the saying. nobody's bust
ress. But Washingtonians should not neg
lect the II after on this account. The OPP
portunity is at hand to supply speedily one
of the capitals most urgent municipal
wants. Let every public-spirited resident
seize this opportunity to do something prac-
tlcal for Washington. first by Fastening the
passage of the proposed legislation, and
then by contributing money and books.
The new library has already pledged TO it
over 5000 in the shape of a memorial fund
of 5000 from Mr.. James T. Du Bots. sub
scriptions of 1900 each from Col A. T.
Britton. Woodward & Lothrop and Mr.. c.
s. Noyes. and a number of smaller contri-
buttons. all of which the library committee
OF the beard of trade has secured in pursu-
ance of it's announced plan. and which it
expects. when once the library has been
created. to very much enlarge. There are
also pledges Of considerable contributions
of books. .he largest of these being over
5000 volumes, which the Washington City
