On the Right Tack.

Secretary Herbert has earned the thanks
of all Washingtonians for his strong recon-
mendation, contained in his annual report,
for the improvement of the Anecostia river.
which he shows to be the cause Of unusual
prevalence of malarial diseases among the
officers and men of the Navy and Marine
Corps stationed at the Navy Yard and the
barracks. Several weeks ago The Star
called attention to the fact that much
good might be done by an official endorse
ment by the head Of the navy of the project
to reclaim the flats, for it was realized
that Congress would look first to the heads
of the departments most interested before
giving heed to the claims of citizens whose
interests and health were seriously jeopar-
dized. The secretary has responded to the
demands of the situation in an admra BILE
manner. He shows conclusively the bad
effects upon the health of the navy Of the
miasmatic influences that surround one of
the most important parts of it's organiza-
ton and he earnestly recommends the mat
ter to the attention of Congress as being
OF the first Importance. This action taken
IN connection with the recent meeting of
citizens of the eastern part of the city
and the active interest of the Board of
Trade. should produce results in the form
OF liberal appropriation.

An Untuneful Horn blower.

An association OF New York bankers met
In that city Saturday last. and. after dis

problems Of the day. Present and par
ticipating were ex-Secretary of the Treas
ury Fairchild. ex-Controller of the Cur
rency Trenholm, and William b. Horn
blower, Mr.. Cleveland's first choice for the
vacancy on the Supreme Court occasioned
by the death of MIR. Justice jackson. Mr..
Hornblower In his remarks said:
There is great danger that the party in
power may go too far, especially in pater-
nalism and jingoism. have as much pa
triotism as any man. Democrats have
shown their patriotism by voting against
their party. Bat when you talk of annex-
ing semi-civilized OR uncivihzed states, jim
goism goes too far. We have admitted
half baked states, and we nave reaped the
reward. Much of our trouble is due tn
that We have given Idaho, Utah, Wyo-
ming and Montana the same influence In
the Senate as New York, Massachusetts

and all the Hawaiians, who were unciytl-

Mr. C1exeInnd On Cuba.

There is an evident desire on the part of
the President in his treatment of the
Cuban question in his annual message to
avoid making any statements or intima-
tions that might arouse the anger of the
government of Spain The conservative
tone that characterizes that entire docu-
ment is strongly marked in this chapter.
but the Presidents utterances on the sub
ject are not devoid of a promise to inter-
vene at some time to put an end to the
devastating insurrection, which. as he
points out. is running the value of the is
land as colony. Briefly. Mr.. Cleveland
argues that direct intervention at the pres
ent time or recognition of belligerency
independence would not be justified. He
furnishes the customary news item of his
messages by stating that this government
has interested itself in the struggle to the
extent of offering it's good offices to secure
for the insurgents satisfactory measure
of home rule. but, realizing that the
Cubans are suspicious of Spain's promises.
and that the Spaniards refuse to treat with
the Cubans save on the condition of an
absolute surrender before autonomy is con-
ceded the United States has intimated
that if such a measure of home rule as
would he satisfactory to Cuba were offered,
way, not Objectionable to Spain. of furnish
ing to the CubanS a guaranty that Spain
would execute the promised reforms The
President points out, as well, that this offer
of mediation has not been either accepted
or rejected by Spain. and he intimates that
there is possibility of a rupture of the
now peaceful relations between the two
governments if Spain both negects this
proposition and fails to end the struggle
speedily Thus in effect the position of this
tical offer that takes Spain at its word in
its alleged desire to give the Cubans rea-
sonable autonomy, the natural limit to
national patience will soon be reached. and
that our obligations to the sovereignty of
Spain may be superseded by higher obliga-
tions which can hardly hesitate to
recognize and discharge" Therefore the
message contains the possibilities of action.
1t recognizes the rights of Spain in the
premises, but shows that the commercial
and political interests of this nation will
not permit an indefinite proongation of
: the bloody. devastating war that now RACES
so close TO these Shores. There is nothing
in the message greatly to offend Spain or
TO excite the Cubans to unwise ebullitions
of enthusiasm. 1t serves notice on Europe
lively intervene under existing circum-
stances. it will not tolerate the entry into
the situation of any other power.

part of the republicans, and 1t Is the re-
publicans of wisdom and sagactty who
must make the fight"
Here we have the feeble note Of the
previncialand the only note which the
enemies Of Cuba and Hawaii seem capable
of sounding. No miracle IL sought to be
attempted in the case of either Of those
countries. But because there are negroes
in the one and kanakas in the other is
no reason why those countries should be
denied recognition on their real merits.
There are lawyers IN both Cuba and Ha-
wall the equal in education and ability of
Mr.. Hornblower, and bankers and business
men with excellent credit as far away from
home as New York. Are they, and thou
sands of others like them, entitled to no
consideration in the question at issue?
Neither Cuba nor Hawaii would expect to
become New York's rival as a factor in
the American Union twenty-four hours
after annexation. Both understand the
processes Of advancement in this Union,
and both would come in upon common
sense and practical terms. involving no
hardships to them nor any perils to us.
The reference to "half-baked states is
ungracious. and injurious only to Mr..
Hornblower. Regardless of how the new
ly-made states voted last month, no man
of national breadth of view regrets their
presence as states in the Union. They
were admitted on their merits, and with
regard only to constitutional requirements.
And it was the republican party. by the
way, that brought them into the Union,
and not the democratic party, of which
Mr.. Hornblower is a member. The re-
publican party. although its proteges op-
posed its presidential candidate. has ex
pressed no regret for comforting statehood
on them, and therein shows q higher and
more patriotic spirit than Mr.. Hornblower.
There are some people in New York who
are unable TO understand why their state
is unpopular in the west. Let them con-
slider Mr.. Hornblower and those who agree
with him, and find the reason. The cackle
about "half-baked states ought to cease.
ALI the states In this Union Except Ne

4 Conservative Message.

The Presidents message is conservative.
dignified. and utterly devoid Of sensational
features. A calmer treatment of the ma
tional situation could not well have been
presented in regard to either Of the two
most important features of the document,
the review of the Cuban question and the
references to the financial situation. Being
Mr.. Cleveland's last report 1t has been ex-
pected in some quarters that he would
tske the opportunity to treat Congress and
the country to one of those surprises in
which he has from time to time during his
presidential career indulged. The surprise
this year takes the form of lack of that
uBususlness which the people seem to have
&C me 10 expect.

NO suggestion of a perfunctory or reluc-
tant performance attaches to the proffer of
the inaugural committee Craftsmanship by
Mr. Hanna to MIR. Woodward. 1t was ten
dered sincerely in complimentary terms
and its acceptance was warmly urged. The
idea Of utilizing this occasion to honor con-
spicuously the gold democrats, which origi-
mated In the national committee, was thor
ousnly acceptable from the very first to
the head of that committee and to other
powers that be. Mr.. Woodward's personal
disinclination. based on business considera-
tions, and strengthened by the feeling that
the Consciousness of duty well done was the
gold democrats only fitting reward, has
compelled declination of the office, and
has caused the national committees pro-
posed inaugural honor to the gold democ-
racy. to become one of expressed will
rather than perfected deed.
Evening star., 1896-12-07

The Presidents message indirectly gives
to Spain the warning which The Star re-
ported to have been given by this gov
ernment. There is an alternative, however
to the necessity of speedily conquering the
insurgents. which is found in the accept
ance of the mediation of the United States
and resulting autonomy Cor Cuba guaran-
teed by this republic. The message justffies
the belief that Spain has been notified of
the Importance and necessity of doing one
thing or the other, and that very quick.

Revenue LeEiSlatlOn.

The Presidents defense of the Wilson
tariff bill as a satisfactory revenue meas
ure was perhaps to have been anticipated.
There is no suggestion anywhere in the
message of the need of more revenue, and
Mr.. Cleveland places stress. he did last
winter, upon the necessity for the retire
ment of all currency obligations on which
gold may be demanded. To this end he
suggests first their final redemption by
means of an issue of long term, low inter-
es, bonds, or failing that remedy ne ad-
yocates that there be no reissue after their
cancellation. Therefore the same situation
is presented as the President developed in
h.s messages year ago-a reputation Of
the idea of insufficient revenue. rejection
of any suggestion of new tariff legsi la ton,

obituary--Skews.

Alice White was born in the town
of Waldwick, Wis, July 3lst 1851, and
died in childbirth at her home in the
village of Waldwick, July Attn, 1895
She was married Oct. 10th, 1877, to
William Skews, who, with four chill
dren, one son and three daughters, re-
main to mourn the loss of devoted
truly christian wife and mother.
Sister Skews united with the M. f.
church at Waldwick in the winter OF
1891, under the pastorate of Rev. f.
w. Stampe, and has ever since been
consistent member of the same
though never person of strong emo
ton, living quiet, exemplary chris
tian life, irving to train her children
in the way they should 90. and show
ing to the world by her daily life that
she sought to follow Him who said :
LET your light so shine before men
that they may see your good works,
and glorify pour father which is in
heaven" She was great sufferer at
times for number of years, and was
often brought near to deaths door,
yet her faith in Christ never wavered,
for she knew "that to be absent from
the body was to be present with the
Lord" She was perfectly resigned
to the will of God, and the day be-
fore her death expressed to her hus-
band desire "to depart and be with
Christ There was no doubt in her
mind with regard to the future. She
believed "that as Jesus died and rose
again, even 50 them that sleep in
Jesus will God bring with Him.
The funeral was held on Monday,

raj Point. With her babe beside her
in the casket, she was taken to Grace
land cemetery, and there laid ten
derly to rest until the last trump
shall sound, "and the dead in Christ
shall rise first ***
