while there would be no obstruction of the
measure for partisan ends, It's Importance
would demand that IT be thoroughly ex-
amined and discussed by those opposed to
high protection.
Here. then. in the matter of this tariff
bill alone. is business enough to occupy
Congress for several months. Members are
not anxious to spend the whole summer
in session. But there would be no telling
what would result from throwing a few
appropriation bills into the hopper. What
ever failed in the Senate of this class of
business would, of course have to go
through the House again at the special ses-
sion, and that might open up number cf
old controversies. and complicate things
generally.
AS soon as the tariff bill is presented. the
business interests will begin to adjust them
selves to its provisions. and those provisions
should be written into law as soon there
after as practicable. For this reason. the
new Congress should find clean table and
have only such work laid before it as re-
lates to its own responsibilities to the coun-

Justice for General Lee.

The suggestion that General Lees present
activity Is with the view of hiding past
d,iinquencies. that he was Negligent in the
case of DIR. Ruiz. and seeks now by bold
stroke to square himself with his country
N en- both at home and in Cuba. should not
for n moment be entertained. If not Span
ish in inception, ii is Spanish in purpose.
aEd it deserves to be Instantly rejected.
If General Lee is open TO any criticism at
all il is that ne seems to have believed ii
possible for the administra ion to be led to
the adoption of an American policy toward
Cuba. All reliable information goes to show
that his own views from the first have been
just and correct He has a no time taken
the Spanish side of the controversy. Some
of his most intimate friends assert that
during his visit home last fall he endeav-
Ored to bring the President and Mr.. Olney
to proper conception of TIE situation. but
failed What his feelings were when he
returned to his post Is necessarily a matter
of conjecture. He was naturally reluctant
to break with his chief. who was also his
personal friend. He probably hoped still to
he able to bring him around without open
rupture or embarrassing publicity But
this hope daily grew fainter. until. at lasi.
the limit of endurance vas reached, the
sensibities of a soldier and man of
patriotic pride were aroused. and his duty
TO his country and to himself rose superior
tC his duty to his chief Then he issued
very properly his ultimatum He must be
sustained. or he would throw up his COM
mission.
This is the act of vital interest now, and
il is entitled to consideration on the face
Of the case. If General Lee has trusted his
chief and personal friend in Office too long.
that is an error of judgment not without
strong palliation- Friendship begets trust.
and ones duty to ones chief carries one a
long way. But when General Lee finally
Gi~ overed that he must adopt a course Of
his own, he hit upon the right one. and
took the public into his confidence. He
would rot longer remain. even apparently
an official subscriber to a policy which his
heart man had repudiated.
Not only is the blood of Dr. Ruiz not on
General Lees head. but none of the recent
catdmities in Cuba in which Americans are
so much interested is to be laid AT his door
II his advice had been taken American
interests in the island would have been

Dollar Gas in New York.

New York citys experience in the attempt
to lower the gas rates is somewhat similar
10 that of Washington. ard the present
prospect is that the result will be the same
as we'll For several months cry has been
raised for dollar gas" and the legislature
has been investigating the subject through
a special committee. which has heard ex-
pert testimony in great volume and is now
Withholding its decision. There is no doubt
whatever as to the large profits of the
various companies now manufacturing and
selling gas in New York The testimony
taken by the committee showed that gas
could be manufactured and sold for dollar
and yet afford a fine revenue on the invest
ment The companies, of course, contra
dicted this statement. and. as was the case
here, a compromise seems to be the prob
able outcome of the agitation. 1t looks now
as though the price would be gradually
reduced at the rate of about five cents a
year until the price reaches the dollar
mark. 1t will be remembered that this
proposition was made in the case of Wash
ington while the dollar gas bill was pend
ing before Congress year ago, but it was
not adopted, another form of compromise
being preferred. which fixed the rate at
s1.10 until July 1, 1901 and al 81 after that
date. 1t is interesting to note that the
New York gas companies have advanced
this annual reduction proposition, but it is
said TO be part of their policy to appear to
be unwilling that it should be adopted.
Human nature and corporations are much
the same throughout the universe. The
citizens of Washington will watch the out
come of the dollar gas fight in New York
with an interest born of fellow feeling.

Hail to the Chief.

1t would doubtless add materially to the
happiness of the new President If orders
were given to bandmasters. as suggested in
yesterdays Star, to refrain from playing
Hail to the Chief Inauguration day when
passing the reviewing stand in front of the
White House. Whatever MIR. Mckinley s
musical taste may he, it is certain that he
would not enjoy listening to nothing but
this particular combination of musical
notes throughout his ordeal of reviewing
the parade. Even-the most exquisite COM
position would become monotonous under
the circumstances. Hail to the Chief"
however. is not of the highest order of mu-
sical merit, according to many judges.
Compared with such national airs as the
'Marseillaise'' or die Wacht Am Rhein"
it is feeble. disagreeable and without even
the virtue of being typical Ii Is not recog-
niZed as the American national air 1t is
merely by common consent regarded as the
Presidents tune. but surely without the
Presidents consent. There is no reason
therefore. that the first hours of the new
Chief Executive should be saddened by the
insistent "hailing' of half hundred brass
bands. He will hear enough of this ever
lasting tune later In his term For if Gus
tom prevails 1t will follow him throughout
his term of office like a companion spirit
never to be shaken. Wherever he goes
whenever he may appear, the trumpets
the flutes. the oboes the cornets, the tubas,
the saxhorns and the clarionets will unite
with deep and shril acclaim in "hailing" to
the exclusion of all softer, sweeter meas
ures of greeting. Here is a chance to "let
little sunshine in to the Presidency, as the
Endeavorers sang in the streets of Wash
ington last summer By all means let it be
grasped. even at the cost of a cherished
tradition.
