Uaanimou. Endorsement.

On Monday night the Northeast Washing
ton Citizens Association unanimously ap-
proved the public library bill. Today the
Commissioners have added their favorable
Endorsement to the project. Rather, they
have repeated and emphasized their pre-
vious endorsements. for they have been
from the first warmly interested in the mat
ter. Local public sentiment has now ex-
pressed itself through practically every
channel by which 1t is capable Of expression.
II washington were self-governed city the
vote IN favor of public library legislation
would be virtually unanimous. In the light
Of the convincing demonstration concern
Ing the condition of local public opinion
which has been spread before Congress, Will
not the Districts legislature respond to the
evidence of the wishes of their capital con-
stituents and act quickly and favorably
upon the library proposition?

II 1t be true, as stated in an article print
ed yesterday in The Star, that England and
France are about to take part in the Cuban
struggle. the Importance of that matter to
the United States becomes greatly en-
Eanced. According to the informa ton re-
ferred to. these countries are making bids to
the two parties to the war, England with
Spain and France with the Cubans in the
hope Of their success. Free trade between
France and Cuba might prove a serious
blow to the commercial relations between
the island and this country. which are at
present quite profitable to the United States.

Will They BE Purchaseds
From the New York Tribune.


WASHINGTON. January 14.-There is a
strong probability that this country will
soon be the possessor of the West Indian
islands of st. Thomas st. Croix and st.
John. Unless the President should oppose
the consummatio OF such a program, there
seems to be no doubt that it will be exc
cuted at no distant day. Denmark is will
ing to dispose of the islands to the United
States. majority in Congress is anxious
that the purchase shall be made, and Sec
rotary Olney Is favorable to the PROPOSE
ton. Moreover, the residents of the Islands
desire annexation to the United States. The
views of the President are not definitely
known, but it is believed that under all the
circumstances he will not prove averse to
the acquisition. The matter is of much i'm
portance to the country. 1t Is receiving
serious attention in the Senate and House
committees which have charge of foreign
questions, and today the Secretary Of State
added interest to the subject by saying that
he was In favor Of securing the islands by
purchase

If the consideration of patriotism is to be
regarded in connection with a government
loan, the bonds should be placed. at their
face value. where the people can get at
them, instead of being auctioned off like
merchandise in an ordinary mercenary
transaction. The people pay the taxes and
it would be no great injustice to allow them
to enjoy the small premium which might
accrue if bonds were placed on the market
with careful estimate of their market
value regardless of the speculative profits
or losses incidental to commercial fluctua-
tions.

bargains for the Babies,
At
PERRY'S.


Where there are babies
there will be appreciation of
these offerings-some reduc-
tons and some very low
regular prices in Infants
Wears. The former because
the lots have become broken.
The latter a usual condition
here.
This baby clothes business
has grown from a corner of
a counter to a complete and
independent department. But
We made up our minds when
we went into it to succeed.
There was need for Just
such service as we render you.
Busy mammas haven't time
to take the tiny stitches and
fashion the fussy little fur
bellows. So VIC offer you
convenience and quality.
Really a saving of money as
well as worry-and especially
so with these odds and ends
that we want to close out.
How quickly-you can Judge
by the cuts We have given the
prices.

"You know, when you were elected. your

turn things upside down, and reform the

Maybe they did. But there's one thing
you can set down as a great moral truth

General Booth is represented as desiring
to have the Salvation Army retain it's
peculiarly English characteristics; to have
it regarded solely as British institution.
Patriotism Is an admirable quality; but the
work which the Salvation Army has under
taken should not recognize political boun-
Gary lines.

TO PUT OUT A TICKET.
Rev. e. X. Loves State Committee
Issues ATarffesto

AHHANS Al AA0EkAES6o.
The republican state central COMMITTEES
of which Rev. L. K. Love is chairman.
met yesterday and issued a manifesto and
call for an electoral ticket by the republic
cans of Georgia, in which Rev. Love pays
his respects to Col. Buck
In starting out he says that the com.
mittee submits the manifesto as "a pro-
test against the usurpation of the Hon.
A. f. Buck, claiming to be chairman OF
the state central committee of Georgia. >"
He characterizes the PROCEEDINGS bv
which Col. Buck Claims to have been
elected as irregular and disgracefuI. The
appointment of a state central COMMITTEES
by Col. Buck, he says, was Illegal ana
VOID from the fact that the state conven-
ton gave him no such authority The an
pointment of an electoral ticket. he SAYS
was contrary to custom and a violation
of party principles
Col Buck had himself appointed" saws
Rev. Love, land then appointed a state
central committee and the state central
committee in turn appointed a number
OF themselves and few of their friends
on an electoral ticket, for which thay
propose to force the republicans of Geor-
gia to vote. We claim that the republic
cans OF Georgia ought to have been per-
mitted to nominate an electoral ticket for
themselves
We protest aginst discrimination on the
part OF the Buck committee in that they
selected an entirely white electoral ticket
thereby deposing certain other electors
that had been selected by their district
conventions. 1t is a principle of the re-
publican party that man should be pre-
TERED for Office without regard to race or
color. We agree with the principle sane
toned by the Hon. Mark Hanna, chair
man of the national republican commit
tee, that our grand old party knows no
color line, If the precedent set by the
Buck committee, in ruling out all colored
men from the electoral ticket. is to be
followed, them the day is not far distant
when the negroes will be driven out of the
republican party entirely"
The continual failure of the Buck ma
chine, according to Rev. Love, to put out
a state ticket, after repeated promises to
do so, has greatly paralyzed the republi-
can party of Georgia, and lends color to
the imputation that Col. Bucks chief OBJ
ject is to hold together a small ring Of pol
iticians to control the federal offices.
1--WE wish to state to the republican par
ty of Georgia." says Rev. Love, that
we have delayed to call a state conven-
ton or to put out an electoral ticket in
the hope that harmony might be restored
We have now decided to call upon repub-
icans in each district to meet in con-
vention and nominate electors satisfactory
to themselves, and to send the names
Of all persons selected to Rev. Love not
later than Oct. TO-"
