An intermittent Foreign Policy

1t is very unfortunate that there should
be spy lack of harmony between the Pres!-
dent and Congress on the subject of the
foreign relations, for in no department of
the public administration should there be
such Perfect accord. The very fact of gov
eminent by parties presupposes that there
will be occasional and perhaps frequent
difference of opinion between the execu-
tive and the legislative branches on politi-
cal issues. especially as the President is
chosHn each fourth year while the entire
House of Representatives and one-third of
the Senate are elected every two years
Were the presidential and the congressional
elections to occur simultaneously there
would be greater likelihood of a more or
less complete agreement existing between
the two branches Of the government But
the constitution wisely provided otherwise,
to prevent the sudden assumption of COM
plete power by any one party and to pro-
vide checks upon hasty impulsive revolu-
lions In public sentiment.
Tho matter Of foreign relations. however,
. quite different. There are party issues

president pro tempore of the Senate yes
terday was pleasing break In the fierce
antagonism that has prevailed in the up
per house since the session began Mr..
Frye has served in Congress for nearly
twenty-five years. ten years in the House
and nfteen years in the Senate, and is
therefore one of the most fully equipped
men now In public life. He is not the old
est republican Senator, nor has ne the
longest record Of consecutive service, but
he was chosen for the honorable and re-
sponsible position to which he was yester-
day elected because of his peculiar fitness
as presiding officer. He entered the Sem
ate in 1851 as the worthy successor to Mr..
Elaine when the latter was made Secretary
CT State by President Garfield, and both in
the House and Senate he has been a promi-
ent figure in national affairs.

Women Bnrbcrs Strike.

A phase Of the new woman" movement
has recently developed in Chicago, which
merits the serious and thoughtful con-
sideration Of the votaries of that cult
A certain boss barber of the Windy
City has recently built up a fine
trade by employing six pretty damsels
to WELD the lather brush and razor
on his customers. He has been growing
rich, and In his prosperity he forgot that 1t
takes more than a few months to trans
form woman, particularly a young and
susceptible woman. into a mere barbering
machine. Accordingly he fell into serious
and, under the circumstances, a natural
error. The other night the plumbers unions
of Chicago gave grand ball. and Journey
man of that trade arranged beforehand with
his best girl that they should attend. 1t so
happened that this girl was one of the half
dozen pretty BARRIERS In the shop in ques-
tom Business is business, so the young
woman decided to stick by her strop and
hair-brush until closing hour, nine o'clock
Even though an end-of-the-century young
woman, she had not yet lost her fondness
for the society of STEADY" and so her
gallant called for her at seven and waited
patiently for her to shave her last customer
Meanwhile the proprietor entered, and,
ioticihS AFTER time that the young man
INDUCED not in shave, shampoo or haircut,
but sat ensrossed in tinted literature, he
asked his errand. Promptly it was told, and
the Ire OF the boss arose, and, summoning
his brawny brush wielder, he cast the lover
forth into the night. Fatal move! There
was clang of steel as the elected ones
sweetheart dropped her razor. and turning
from the lathered occupant of her chair, she

and see her man. insulted. There were
five voices raised at once against this usur-
patton Of right, and in the twinkling of an
eye six angry young women walked forth
from the tyrants shop. and six customers
were left haif-shorn within. The boss bar
Der is now looking for six old maids to take
the vacant chairs

The Belt and lexington Extension.

The Belt and lexington railway compan-
les are now asking Congress for cons.d-
cradle extensions of their local line. Under
proper restrictions. some of the requested
extensions might be granted in the inter-
ests of the residents of sections now poorly
supplied with transportation facilities.
Other features of the proposed plan, espe-
clally the northwest cross-town project.
Will undoubtedly be bitterly resisted by the
residents of the street affected The citi-
zens OF Washington would be more highly
pleased If the companies in question, which
are really one and the same, were to give
practical demonstration OF their desire to
supply the people with a first-class< stree.
car service by equipping the lines that
they already own with understandable
rapid transit, thus adding to the conve-
nience and comfort of the present patrons
and giving assurance of an improved mod
ern service upon the extended routes
There Is wide field for reform that Is
open, without the need of a single enact
ment by Congress, and the roads are vast
ing valuable time in neglecting present op-
portunities to hold the patronage that they
now possess. If any extensions are
granted, Congress should take care to pro-
vide that the entire city system of the
companies shall be at once placed on a
rapid transit basis, excluding, Of course,
the overhead trolley, in exchange for the
privileges given.

occasionally defined az to such matters, to
be sure, but they are usually immaterial
details, and the rule Is that patriotism Ia
held above partisansilip and sways all men
alike. whether republicans, democrats, pop
ulists, gold or silver boomers. The present
instance Is a peculiar exception, and diff
cult Of explanation. As far as the present
Congress Is concerned there Is every Eea-
son for perfect harmony between it and
the President. It's predecessor. to be sure,
took issue with him most decidedly as to
the Hawaiian affair, and that case was set
tied in accordance with the prevailing sem
timent IN the two houses. But that is
past matter, and should not now be allowed
to intervene to prevent policy Of vigorous
patriotism from being carried out. The
Presidents suggestions concerning the
Venezuelan e.ffair were given the form and
force of law in a remarkably short time.
He sounded the keynote of advanced,
manly Americanism, and brought forth the
Monroe doctrine for modern application.
Finding that doctrine assailed by foreign
powers as old. unsuited to modern condi-
tons and without the force of legislative
approval, the Senate has proposed an up
to-date enunciation of It's principles, broad
ened en- the very lines laid down by the
duininlSlIdtlOu III Inc venezuelan CORE
spondence. The administration men on the
floor Of the Senate vigorously oppose this
action.
Again In the Armenian matter the adj
ministration has failed to preserve the bold
front that 1t assumed. The Presidents an
nual message called attention to the de-
ploI able state Of affairs in the Turkish
provinces, and pointed plainly to the re-
sponsiblity of the powers of Europe to
check these outrages. After elaboration
the Senate passed a resolution reciting the
well-known facts IN the case and asking
the President to call the attention Of the
powers to their treaty obligations. This
was promptly given the concurrence Of the
House and has for many days been in the
possession of the executive, who has not
only delayed to carry out the expressed
wishes of the legislature, but has allowed
1t to become known that he will pigeon
hole the resolutions and allow the matter
to die.
There is every evidence. too, of lack of
understanding between the President and
Congress with regard to Cuba. There is
little doubt that a majority exists in the
houses N favor Of g resolution acknowl-
edginS the belligerency of the insurgents,
but without assurances that the President
VIII give such res solutions active force and
utility 1t is deemed to be a Questionable
policy to press the matter for cons.dera-
ton.
Let the President and Congress get to-
gether in the matter Of our foreign rela-
lions.

virginiu,s Rnce-Trnck War.

The race-track gamblers made a bluff at
Richmond recently and succeeded in Great
ing the impression that they were going to
defeat the passage of the Maupin bill in the
lower branch Of the state legislature. The
friends of such a measure here were great
ly concerned lest the recommendations of
Gov. O'Ferrall were going to be ignored,
and they began to fear that If any race
track legislation was to be had at this ses-
sion it would be compromise, not satisfac-
tory to the good citizens of the state and
virtually a victory for the gamblers. But
row 1t turns out that the Maupin bill, which
IL enforced will put an end to the trans
Potomac gambling bells, has all along had
staunch support and has passed the house
by a large majority. It is now stated that
the bill will stand no show in the senate
and its enemies profess great confidence in
Its defeat there. This sounds quite like the
assertion made a short time ago that the
measurewould not even come forth from
the house committee. and should not fright
en- the friends of the reform movement that
has been inaugurated in the state by its
fearless executive. The evil is not as acute
now as 1t would be If the silrewd managers
of the two establishments had not closed
their tracks while the session of the legisla-
ture lasted, but there Is no way to wipe out
the disgraceful history of the past few years
and no surer means than by this law to
prevent Its repetition The gambling ques-
ton has become a vital issue in the state
and the people of the commonwealth gen.
orally understand it. The record of the
two tracks near Washington has been bad
one. and Virginia now revolts from the
prospect of harboring all the disreputable
characters, thieves, touts, gamblers and
other moral yermin that are not wanted
elsewhere An all-the-year race track Is
the surest means of attracting such yisI-
tors, and just as sure means of evicting
and repelling them Is the enactment of
OF such law as that drawn by Mr. Maui
pin, who, while a lover of horses and an
admirer of clean, honest sport and horse
racing, Is yet an enemy of those forms of
vice that have latterly corrupted the track
and made 1t mere gambling device.

In Behalf of Art.

The Public Art League, the organization
and objects of which were explained in last
evenings Star, has a well defined and
worthy mission that 1t behooves every lover
of the artistic to foster in every possible
way. This country has reached the point
where it IL profitable to spend time, money
and attention upon the details that go to
make life end its surroundings more beau
tiful. and 1t has been demonstrated BY
practical experience that in many DEPART
ments this can be accomplished at an
economy over existing expenditures. The
League was formed to promote the pass
age of laws requiring that before the pur-
chase or adoption by the government of
any work of art, whether of sculpture,
painting, architecture, landscape design,
coin, seal, medal, note stamp or bond. the
design or model shall be first submitted to
a commission of experts for an expression
of opinio.. as to its artistic merit and the
approval of the committee shall be a pre-
requisite to its adoption. There has been
some inartistic, even vulgar work done in
the name of art in this &C untry in the past
and it is high time to call halt before
perpetuating any further atrocities. The
League mas very extensive membership,
covering every section of the country and
every hHe vi PROFESSIONAL HE, and the list
OF directors and officers is one of remark
able strength and prominence. The associ-
alton, therefore, represents a powerful
influence and although it is of but recent
formation it has already given evidence of
accomplishing considerable in the direction
of Its main object. The attention of the
people must first be arrested and the per-
manect disadvantages of adherence to the
old methods and lines OF inartistic produc-
tons by the government must be thorough
ly demonstrated. a law on this subject
drafted on the lines proposed by the Art
League. will be one of the most welcome
bits of legislation ever enacted.
