M'KIlNLEY AND CUBA.

There has been q vast deal of talk
about whst the new executive is going
to do with the Cuban question, but
most OF it seems to have been hit or
miss. The plain facts are, SO far as can
be seen at present, that President Nc
Kinley will do little or nothing beyond
taking such measures as will compel
the safety of American citizens en- the
the unfortunate island. That much he
has right TO demand and every Amer
ican citizen will uphold him in it, no
matter what may be thought of the ad
visibility of recognizing the inde-
pendence Of the Cuban Revolutionisis
SO far as taking any steps to accord
Cuba the rights of an independent ma
ton, Mr.. Mckinley will probably dc
nothing. He does not wish to disturb
the existing pretense of harmony be.
tween the United States and Spain.
Events may arise later on to cause him
to a ter his opinion, but ut present this
is his stand.
As matter OF safety to Americans in
Cuba, however, the president may see
fit to send man-of-war into Cuban
waters. This can in no way be con
strued into threat of war, and car
give Spain no cause for affront 1t is a
simple precaution of which any nation
may avail itself. For our part We think
it would be wise step. Another suct
episode as the Ruiz murder is no
wanted by this country, nor will it bt
tolerated.

LAST MOHT'S PRIMARIES.

More than ordinary interest was man.
ifested in the outcome of the primaries
held by tho Democrats last night to
elect delegates to the City and State
Conventions and also for members OF
City Committees. The contest seemed
to center, however, in the elec-
tion OF the city committees, the
younger members Of the party oppos-
ing the methods now in use for con-
Quoting caucuses. The issue of the
younger Democracy was to secure q
modification Of the present system OF
conducting ward caucuses.
The present system was proven to be
success last night. The fault found
was that the ward committee generally
prepares ticket ss a mere technicality
Somebody must prepare ticket and
every voter in the party has right TO
have one printed or written if he wishes
to 60 to that trouble. If the ward
committee did not prepare q ticket,
perhaps there would not be any ticke,
to vote for, and thus there would he
still more blame. AS it is it should not
be taken for granted that because th'
ward committee prepares sicket, the
members are opposed to anyone who
brings ticket to the primary or to the
gentlemen who may be on any ticket
but their own. The committee can
only select certain limited number of
names, and they generally select mep
known to them who have the time and
the inclination to attend conventions,
etc. But the selection of other names
should not lead to any feeling. There
is room within the party for all kinds
of people and all kinds have a perfect
right to vote as they please-always
keeping in mind as matter of good
faith that those who attend primary
should abide by the decision of the ma
jority fairly expressed.

The fight is tn be- fairly concentrated
between the two great parties. All
other organizations. though numerous
to sbsurdity, will cut small figure in
the battle. 1t will be contest on the
same old lines and with the same
weapons. The silver idea that wrought
such havoc with the National Dem
ocracy, has no place in the councils Of
this State. The overthrow of the party
last November has left false impress
sion with many. The causes that
wrought that disaster 40 not prevail in
our State election. 1t is single battle
between party and party on the old
issues. There is no Organism or Nc
Klnleyism In 1t. We look to the DEM

THE FIRST SPRING HAT.

A Correspondent Describes 1t and It's Own
er as Well AS lie Can.
The first puIsation of gladstone spring
struck the metropolis recently, and the
warm, pure air bore upon Its balmy
crest the odor of violets held by the
boy on the corner. "only cents a
bunch" And right next door steady
procession of people going in and an un-
steady procession coming out bore added
testimony to the fact that the thermom-
eter registered 20 and book beer was as
vigorous as ever.
On Broadway there was seen the first
spring hat. 1t was a sight-the hat, not
the face. The pouting lips-of the face,
not the hat-formed a Cppid's bow be-
meath nose retrousse. Feathers and
ribbons We're the striking feature-of
the hat, not the face.
A pair of black eyes-of the face, not
the hat-were surmounted by broad,
low forehead, from which the hair was
combed back and fell in waves, almost
covering the ears The beaded frame
Of the hat, not the face-projected high
bver the lovely oval-of the face, not
the hat.
On either side-of the hat, not the
face-there rose pyramid Of bright
ribbons. These colors matched the pure
olive with basic roseate hue-of the
face, not the hat-while between these
rainbow pyramids-of the hat, not the
face-there were the eternal black
plumcs, towering above all.
Altogether the creation-both face
and hat-was calculated to mesmerizt
the price of milliner's bill out Of the
pocket Of q bronze statue. New Yorl

a POLITICAL DOLLAR.

In Republican circles, choosing
gubernatorial candidate, reminds us
strongly Of that innocent and bucolic
organization, the lyceum. About one
term ahead few members get their
heads together, look the situation
squarely In the face and come to
spontaneous decision that such and
suoh member is the only logical can
didate. He becomes the unanimous
choice of the whole society, which has
no voice to express an opinion until the
candidate has been cracked into ire
coverable prominence, and then he is
elected. Bat there are always to be
found reasons why the candidate was
selected from the vast amount Of avail
able presidential material.
Thus has oomed up the name of Gen.
Elisha Dyer. He is the spontaneous
choice of the people" selected by q
certain few. Just who first set Gen.
Dyer in motion we know not. He has
rolled along toward Newport most
steadily ever since, however. He is not
distinguished as q statesman. He has
never been identified with any great
jubille act. He is no more q logical
candidate than many another, but-Mr.
Dyer has money. Therein is found the
essence and soul of Republican
"logic." That is the voice of the "peo-
pie" and il called long and loud. 1t
takes money to elect. Mr.. Mckinley
had plenty of it at his command. II is

Charles W. Lippitt was not hard pressed

and eminent statesmanship. We shall

A scheme OF great interest to the
sharpshooters Of the militia is that re-.
Gently proposed of having Rhode ISL
and team in an interstate shoot with
teams from the various New England
States. The idea is we'll thought of at
headquarters, having the approval of
Gen. Sackett, Gen. Kimball, Major
Young and Lieut. Abbott. 1t is pro-
posed to keep the average of every man
shooting from the opening of the range
till some time in September, and then
pick the nine men having the highest
averages ut the distance to be fred the
first seven to be the regular team and
the other two substitutes. 1t is thought
that team can be picked from the
Safe Militia that would give teams
from other states a big run for the
honors.

In many respects the Telegram, of
Providence, merits my distinguished
approval. 1t has chirped up wonder
fully in the last few months, and it can
even refer to the Hon. Charles w. Lip

compelled, as conscientious seeker af-
ter truth, to inquire what in thunder
it takes the public for, anyway. And |
am furthermore impelled to ask, Is the
Telegram Office without q cut of God

A SOLEMN SERVICE.



Henry King, Jr.
Particularly solemn and impressive were
the funeral ceremonies late this afternoon
over the remains Of Henry King, jr., whose
unexpected death Sunday evening caused
genuine sorrow throughout the community,
and who. for more than quarter of q
century. was q representative business man
and leading philanthropist of the ma
tional capital
Owing to the fact that the Eighth Street
Synagogue has recently been demolished,
in order to make way for the proposed new
structure, In which Mr.. King was so deeply
interested, the ceremonies were held at
the late residence Of the deceased, No S14
It'll street. All day long a ceaseless stream
of people passed through the rooms. his
multitude of friends calling to take final
look at the countenance of the man who
was so respected and beloved not only by
his own race. but by all who knew him.
Messenger boys were kept busy delivering
at the house kilograms of sympathy and
coincidence from out-of-town friends and
acquaintance.
rived. the large parlors and Railways were
crowded, and, because of the limited space,
hundreds who desired to show their re-
spect for the memory of the deceased were
unable to be accommodated within. The
services were simple, and were conducted
by Rev. Louis Stern, rabbi of the Wash
ngtOn Hebrew Congregation. Rabbi Stern
was away with his family, on a summer
outing, when the news of the death of Mr.
King reached him. He Immediately start
ed for this city, arriving late this morning.
Rabbi Stern paid a glowing tribute to the
deceased. Mr.. King was a particular friend
of his. he stated, and the news of his death
was in the nature of stunning blow, from
which he had not recovered and probably
never would, completely. The rabbi spoke
at length of the lovable traits possessed
by Mr.. King. and of his value to the COM
munity. Not only the family of the dead
man, but all Washington as well, It was
added, had sustained a severe loss by his
demise.
The casket was conveyed to a hearse
and. followed by a sorrowing procession,
was slowly driven to the Hebrew burying
ground, in Anacostia, where interment was
made. The pallbearers on behalf of the
family were Messrs. !. L. Blout, s. w.
Augenstein, e. Heidenheimer and S. Ben
singer. Those who served on behalf of
the Washington Hebrew Congregation
were Messrs. P. Peyser and L. Heilbrun.
In addition, Capital Lodge, o. X. s. B.;
Elijah Lodge, I. o. B. B.; the Legion Of
Honor and the Concordia Club, respective
ly, were represented among the pallbear-
ers.
Before the remains were lowered into the
grave Mr.. Simon Wolf made feeling ad-
dress. detailing experiences gained through
years of intimate acquaintance with the
deceased. Mr.. King was a man among
men, declared Mr.. Wolf, and his good deeds
and lovable character will survive forever.
