The Conrressi0nnI Out,ooL

The silver bolt at St. Louis wes not as
large. perhaps, as the white metal men
hoped it would be- but it turns out that 1t
was quite large enough to seriously en-
barrass the republican party in the United
States Senate, as Is shown in another
column of today's ISSUE Granting the bolt
ing republicans the credit Of sincerity in
their declaration to sever their connection
with the party. 1t is certain that the re-
Dublicans will practically lose even the
plurality Of votes that they had in the
Senate last winter. and as every present
indication points to democratic declara-
ton for free silver at Chicago it is among
the probabilities that the democrats will
be In decided majority in the upper house
next winter. The short session from De-
cember to Inauguration day promises.
therefore. to be one of the most exciting
and Interesting ever held In the history of
the country. The effect Of the bolt, how
ever. gees further than the coming winter
and appears to jeopardize the chances of
republican success in the effort that the
party has been making to control both
branches of the national legislature in the
Fifty-fifth Congress. the first Congress of
the coming administration. According to
the computation to be found elsewhere the
chances appear to be against the republi-
cans IN this endeavor and it may he that
the bolt at st. Louis however insignificant
1t may be in point of actual numbers, and
whether or not 1t affects the result Of the
presidential election, will have a decided
influence upon the congressional history of
the country

Cuba In the Convention.

If President Cleveland stood as firmly on
the Cuban plank of the republican plat
form as he does on the republican currency
plank there would be much rejoicing
throughout the United States There is
nothing dubious in the utterance which has
the support Of more than nine- tenths of
Americans, without regard to party:
From the hour of achieving their own
independence the people of the United
States have regarded with symrathy the
struggles of other American peoples to
free themselves from European domina-
ton. We watch with deep and abiding in
terest the heroic battle Of the Cuban pa-
triots against cruelty and oppression, and
our best hopes go out for the full success
OF their determined contest for liberty.
The government Of Spain, having lost con-
troll OF Cuba, and being unable TO protect
the property or lives of resident Ameri-
can citizens. or to comply with its treaty
obligations we believe that the COVERT
ment OF the United States should actively
use Its influence ard good offices to re-
store peace and give Independence to the
island" .o
The Spanish authorities will. of course,
sheer at this declaration as party trick
cry" but what will they say when the
other conventions talk in the same
straightforward fashion?
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1896-06-20

There was a time-and not so long ago
when the business men of this city dreaded
the coming of a presidential campaign.
They had every reason for concern. A
change of administration-even when one
republican succeeded another in the presi-
dency-meant the removal Of large per-
centage Of government employees in order
that salaries might be paid to those who
had labored hard to bring about the
change This was most demoralizing, for
all civil service arguments aside--it
prompted those VINO were in office TO save
every dollar they possibly could, which re-
suited In hard times for the merchants,
and to refrain from buying homes which
might soon have to be abandoned. which
resulted in a transient. nomadic popula-
ton. lacking local interest and public spirit.
With Inauguration day came the horde of
worlds goods as they were rich In hope.
Within two three months there would
be thousands of dismissals and appoint
ments, and then trade conditions were
worse than ever: the dismissed ones fire.
quently neglected. or were unable, to pay
their Just debts; the new appointees, being
out of funds. demanded credit. Hundreds
OF comfortable homes were Quadrennially
thrown upon the market at disturbing
forced-sale prices. and in all the lines of
trade there was consequent uncertainty
and frequent disaster.
Now the conditions have been completely
changed. Presidents may come and 20,
parties may rise and fall. but the great
mass Of the employees of the United States
continue to serve the government so long
as the service they render is satisfactory.
Reasonably assured of Hfe-tenure, the
meritorious clerks and mechanics and
watchmen have settled down to comfort
able existence and are contributing steadily
to the growth of the national capital The
incoming of new President means to
them little more than the appointment of a
new head of department; their work pro-
ceeds without the interrupting Influences of
the spokesman The general government
gains more than does the District of Co
lumbia by this better method; it comes
nearer to getting it's moneys worth of SER
vice than at any previous stage of It's MIS-
tory.

Parade for the Endeavorer.,

1t Is hoped by the many Neutrality-suspicious.
Who are really interested in the Christian
Endeavor convention that those wheelmen
who are Practically in charge Of the prop
osition to organize monster parade of
bicyclists will not insist upon postponing
the event until after the departure from
the city of the great majority of the dele
gates and other visitors. The tendency to
delay was evident at last nights meeting
OF the l.. A. w. committee, but there was
no reasonable argument advanced in it's
behalf. bicycle parade In honor of the
Society of Christian Endeavor would at
tract to the ranks large number of riders
who would merely be spectators should it
1t Is understood by the local convention
authorities that the bulk of the convention
multitude will depart from the city within
twenty-four hours from the close of the
official proceedings: which means that
thousands Of visiting Endeavorers who
would join in the procession If it took place
during convention week will necessarily be
absent. Under almost any circumstances
cycle parade in Washington would be
deavorers have gone home it will doubtless
be well patronized. because there are here
so many riders. But parade that is moth

ment in it-must necessarily be far in
ferior to such a hospita able demonstration
as The Star would like to see as a feature
of the entertainment of the Christian En-
deavor convention

Mark Hanna, Chairman,

The election of Mark A. Hanna to be
chairman Of the republican national COM
mittee was. all things considered, an act of
wisdom 1t insures to the party the ser
vices of a very capable man of affairs, and
at the same time brings the candidate and
the committee into the closest possible re-
lations Mutual confidence and harmony
are great factors in a national campaign.
and surely. with Mr.. Mckinley as the cam
didate and MIR. Hanna as the general in
charge OF the forces. the republican battle
ought not to lack either for skill in design
or force In execution
There was for time a doubt as TO
whether in the existing circumstances Mr..
Hanna was to be preferred above the other
availables for this place There was the
suggestion that a man Of older fame and of
wider acquaintance among public men
would fill it better. But Mr.. Hanna's per-
formances at st. Louis settled the question
completely. His easy mastery of that diffi-
cult situation-the way In which he steered

How thankful the American people SHOULD
be that although the day of miracles is
away to the rear and out of sight they still
have the prophet who can rend the veil
that would ordinarily hide the future.
There are several Of these seers.. Not even
III times of deepest national depression is
the prophetic force diminished although
there does not appear to be any real
demand for gloomy forebotlings of deeper
Gepths of woe from those who are in the
presasing business. The campaign oracle

The noises of the st. Louis convention

that Mckinley will be elected, but 1t pre-

there Is a republican" victory. 1t SAYS

clear Of this ENHANCEMENT and that, his
fencing with leaders OF admitted prowess-
all stamped him as q manager Of the first
class and entitled to the important assign
ment he has received. Probably nobody
now will dissent from this. Even those CT.

perches in the convention city entertained
the country for few days with graphic
accounts Of how first Mr.. Platt and then Mr.
Lodge had Mr.. Hanna humbled to the dust
and begging for mercy. ought to be willing
to admit now that they spoke hurriedly
and without sufficient advisement As The
Star noted at the time, Mr.. Hanna started
well. and he managed to keep up his lick
to the end. He undoubtedly knows his
business.
And the word business will mean some
thing this year. Business is involved on
every hand. The questions are business
questtons-currency and the tariff. Bust
ness men are likely to take a more active
interest in politics for the next four months
than ever before in the country's history.
They consider-and very properly-that
everything is at stake. and they know that
unless they organize and exert themselves
the battle will go against them. How we'll
MI Hanna as chairman will suit these men
may easily be Inferred from the fact that
ne Is business man himself. His ac-
Qua1ntance in business circles Is very wide
and 1t ought to stand him we'll in hand In
the campaign. He does not claim to be a
politician He is not posing as a heaven
sent wonder for the purpose Of exhibiting
line work. to men, but asks consideration
only as plain man Of affairs who believes
In organization and hard work, and in the
people.
The election of Mr.. Hanna would appear
10 confirm the statement that the repub-
hcans intend to transact a good deal of
their business from Chicago. Illinois, In
diana. Iowa. Michigan and Wisconsin will

with That territory Mr.. Hanna ought to be
familiar. He has investments in several Of
the states. and from his residence in Cleve-

conditions thoroughly.

and Washington will remain important in
the calculations. Mr.. Hobarts nomination

Public Interest in the proceedings of the
national republican convention at ST. Louis
was quite marked. and the bulletins in the
windows Of The Star office attracted large
crowds, while the regular and extra edi-
lions Of The Star conveyed the news
throughout the city. The public schools
were closed for the year with the usual
programs. and in a number of educational
institutions of the city graduating exercis-
es were held: Mrs. Mary Kemble Slack was
