Present Street-ExtensiOu.

Anything like wholesale street extension
VIII not be possible for scme time to come:
certainly not during the present session of
congress. Action by the Senate District
Committee today commits that powerful
body temporarily to the piecemeal plan of
extension. The committee will endeavor to
find out where extensions are Immediately
necessary. and, having satisfied itself on
that point, will doubtless dc what it can to
squeeze :, sufficient appropriation out of the
two houses. If Congress will only see to it
that extensions which may be authorized are
on the approved lines, the people of the Dis
trict will not shed tears at the Senate COM
mittee's conclusion conceIn ming the proper
methods of present street extension We
cannot wait forever on the highway ac.
When that piece of legisla ton, with its ac-
ccmpanying bond issue. arrives in i'm
proved and satisfactory shape, there will
be in any event great abundance of street
extension work Ipon which it may operate.

there will not remain single railroad

tram came along. On behalf of the COM

ana gateman would have rendered the

as there were neither gates nor Waterman
at Ivy City the jury awarded damages to
the plaintiff. The full significance of his
verdict does not appear until it is noted
that Ivy City is without what are known
as the city limits. If the courts compel the
companies TO pay heavily for neglected
crossings in the sparsely populated suburbs
what may they not be expected to do
should there be killings on crossings with
in the city?

Opposition to the position taken by the
superintendent of street sweeping. favor
able to municipal assumption Of the cleans
ing task now and heretofore in the hands
of contractors, must necessarily lose much
of its force because superintendent Nc
kenzie states plainly that the contractors
have done everything that could reasonably
be required of them. regard being had for
the speciflca lions. Had there been official
:ccusation of carelessness OF wilful ne
glect it might then be asserted that it was
the contractors and not the contract sys-
tenn tfat was being arraigned, but when it
is alleged that the contractors are doing
their best and fail simply because the
methods possible under municipal control
ale impossible to them there is only little
ground left to maneuver upon. Thorough
fare conditions in Washington are not as
they are i'll other cities. Asphalt surface
is easily cleaned, but it is difficult to keep
1t clean, so there is need for something
more than the widely-separated schedule
efforts of the contractor. 1t would be pos
si5le, of course. with the consent of Con-
sress. to SO amend the schedule that con-
tractors would want twice as much money
as is now available for street-sweeping
purposes. hut it would be much better for
Washington IL the work were done by a
well-organizeh and decently paid force con-
trolled directly and at all hours of the day
and night by the District Commissioners

which was printed in The Star, is worthy

Those WHO oppose the granting of belig
erent rights to the Cubans rest their whole
case on the position taken by President
Grant years ago. They are unable to get
away from the message sent to Congress at
tEat time. Sufficient as that message may
have been for that day, is it to be accepted
as sufficient for this?
In President Grants day the hiieousncss
of Spanish rule in Cuba did not stand as
plainly revealed as it does now. Some of
its features were known. but not all. Spain
then insisted that the revolt was without
Justification, and even went so far as to
pretend to be willing in the interests of
peace to make concessions to those in arms
against her.
President Grant. who was at first dis
posed to interfere warmly in benalf of the
Cutsns, was finally influenced by Secretary
Fish. repre- senting the commercial interests
or New York. to adopt a rigid interpreta-
ton of belliserency: and the rebellion was
crushed. But did Spain keep her promises?
She violated every one of them. and Cuta's
condition became worse than before.
The conditions today, therefore. are rot
the conditions of that day. 1t is perfectly
apparent that Spain cannot rule Cuba OK
cept by cruel force. for added to the old
abuses are many new abuses and mary
broken promises. Spain again talks reform,
but who believes her? The people of the
| hited States do not believe her. and the
People of Cuba will not even listen 20 her.
Why should they? Talk about reform
should now be supplemented by some overt
act in the direction of REFORM and super
seding General Csmpos with General Wey-
Ter has no such significance. On the coll
trary, it fully bears out the charge that
Spain, if successful. will repeat her history
and that Cuba's plight will, if possible be
worse than before-woise than it now is
This is the case the United States is to-
day called upon to consider. 1t would be
far from just to decide it merely upon its
military aspects. Surely. the character of
the men in revolt, their courage and Per
SISTER cy. and what we know of their ex-
IRENE provocation, should influence US quite
as much as their number and the extent OF
tie territory they control. Their number
ust be highly respectable. or else Spain's
army must be the most inefficient on earth;
and, if territory is urged, why should the
insurgents be required to take the fortified
towns any more than that the Spaniards he
required to take and hold the unfortified
country?
If the deliverance of Congress Is to he
ignored by the President, it will not be suf-
fcient for the executive to intrerch him
self. as the opponents of Cuba in Congress
lave DONE behind message written years
ago and to meet a case by no means so
strong as is the present one.
And President Cleyeland's action, like
President Grants, will be at once con
strued as having been dictated by the COM
r.4erciai interests of New York.

The IdiOtic "His,-Hnnd Shake"

who think they are following the highest
style of royal English good form, doncher-

On everybody they meet must be intensely
disguised to find themselves ridiculed by So
figh an authority as the London News for
having adopted "a second rate freak of
British misses and British Johnnies;" pop

rate smart people" The quotation from
the News has already appeared in The
Star but 1t conveys such wholesome re-

worth reproducing. The News says:
''The new kind of hand shake, in high
seconde,' as the language of fencing goes,
was, and perhaps Is, popular with third

There is no sound reason why anyone

NO loyal American doubts that we can
whip any country that might provoke a

to forget the case of one John l.. Sullivan,
who felt SO sure he could whip anybody
that he save himself little or no concern
