he will preside an administration whose
first consideration shall be the good of the
city and not the advancement Of the inter-
ests of a political organization.
The country will wish these two officials
every success in their undertaking. 1t is In
every way an important undertaking. The
affairs OF cities. strictly speaking, are not
political affairs. No abstruse or complex
problems are presented. The people will
lingiy submit to reasonable tax rate, and
have right to demand in return an hon
est and economical expenditure Of their
money by the officials whom they have
placed In office. Why should a police de-
partment be filled with the heelers of
ward bosses? Why should fire depart
ment be recruited from ward clubs? Why
should contractors, bidding on work for
city, be assessed by ward bosses for polit-
ical purposes? That police department,
that fire department., those contractors for
city work. render the best service when di-
vorced entirely from the harra ssments and
domination Of political machines The
whole business Of city, indeed is nothing
but business, and there Is no reason why
politics, properly so-called, should be in
voked in its conduct at all.
There Is good deal of responsibility,
therefore, resting on the shoulders of the
TWO newly elected mayors of Baltimore and
Louisville. They will be good deal in evil
dence during the terms for which they
nave been elected, and their performances
Will be brought under the strong glass of

Notwithstanding the defeat Of the cause
in New York, good government on bust
ness-like lines put above mere partisanship
Is shortly to have a trial in two of the large
cities of the country. William T. Malster,
republican. Is soon to be inaugurated
mayor of Baltimore. Among his supporters
at the polls were many democrats, who
preferred him to the candidate supported
by the Rasin machine. His success, there
fore. was to that extent non-partisan. and
his obligations are to give the city clean
and business-like administration. Charles

A Peculiar Attitude.

The attitude of this government toward
the Cuban insurgents is peculiar. and IT
may we'll occasion the insurgents them
selves to wonder.
We believe that their cause is just. but
we will not help them to establish it. On
the contrary, we are doing all in our power
TO help Spain. If Spain succeeds In re-es-
tablishins her brutal authority in the is
lend il will be very largely through the
assistance of the United States We are
carrying the big end of the stick. Spain.
in effect, acknowledges this herself; for If
il is true, she asserts. that the fnsur-
gents have been able to make the demon
stration they have made against her by aid
of assistance received from these stores
how very much more would they have been
able TO do had that assistance not been
reduced to minimum by the activity of
this government in enforcing neutrality
laws. As matter of fact. therefore. we
are helping to hammer into subsection
again a people whose struggle for independ-
ence We approve, and of whose persecu-
tons under Spanish control we are well
aware
We will not help the Cuban people to es-
tabish their freedom-are doing everything
in power to hinder and foil their own
efforts to that end-but if. without us, and
even against us. they succeed. We will at
once become controlling factor in the
case Suppose. after throwing off the
Spanish yoke. and effecting an organization
of their own affairs, the people of Cuba
should decide to offer themselves to the
protection of Great Britain. or Germany.
or even republican France. upon the score
that they would feel more secure under
the reign of great power disposed to
them well. Would they be permitted to
consummats any such arrangement? As
Buredly not This government would at
once interfere. The Monroe doctrine would
be asserted in the swift space of a second.
We will not. then, help them to establish
their freedom. but if they establish it
themselves. we will put a limit upon what
they shall do with 1t.
But We are. of course. safe on that score.
Freedom for Cuba means profit to the
United States The struggle in the island
Is for independence, and independence will
mean close relations of every kind with the
United States. The insurgents desire 1t,
despite our treatment of them. and their
interests imperativeiy demand it. They
are imbued with republican ideas. the mar
ket for their productions is here. and they
are almost in shouting distance of our
Shores If they succeed in throwing off
any cause. desire a union with some
Stronger power, their overtures will be
made to u.s. Does the recognition of this
fact account. in any measure. for our COM
placency in the premises?

The Responsibility for Bird slnushte


At the final session of the annual meet
ing of the American Ornithologists' Union
IN New York yesterday the committee on
bird protection presented a report that
severely scored the feminine custom of
wearing birds feathers, wings and bodies
on hats. The committee believed that the
women feel too little personal RESPONSE
bility for the presence of these ornaments
on their bonnets and hats, arguing with
their own consciences that inasmuch as
they did not kill the birds they are entitled
to utilize the fruits of other peoples crimes
against the feathered friends of humanity.
This attitude cannot be too severely con-
demned. Every person who wears a hat
trimmed with parts of. birds contributes
directly and personally to the trade and
the slaughter. The continuance of the de-
nand alone accounts for the continuance
of the supply. The responsibility lies pri-
mariiy with the women who want these
trimmings and not with those whose COM
mercial motives lead them to slay the birds
for profit. For the latter there is slight
measure of excuse, for their temptation
arises from their necessities. while the
women who encourage the traffic are in
spired solely by their vanity. Until the
truth of this proposition is made clear to
the patrons of this sort of millinery no
Roadway can be made in the fight for the
preservation Of the birds. 1t is gratifying
to note that the next annual meeting of
this union will be held in Washington, and
it is to be hoped that the sessions will
cause the women of the capital to realize
in a measure the folly and harmfulness
of bedecking themselves with the frag-
ments of slaughtered songsters.

A November SaIutation.

N NONemDeF Salutaf1On,
1t is not the dead leaf nor the bountiful
sheaf,
Nor the bough that is wailing SO sadly
That gives US assurance of speedy relief
From the moist warmth that used US so
badly.
The warning which tells us that Pleasure
is near
Is the "rat-tat-tat-tat" that is sounded so
clear
And sharply upon the steam heater.
All, better by far than the garlanded bow
Are its cobwebby corners so rusty;
Though others desert in our needier hours.
This friend remains loyal and trusty.
And just when the world seems to leave rs
but pain,
When blisses are vanishing daily,
New comforts are promised us in the re-
frain
That is thumped from it's spirals so gafly
The scientists say in their knowledgous
way,
What produces the noise is a bubble.
But facts, like all stubborn things. bring 10
dismay;
Let's agree that, since Ceres like Flora ha G
flown.
Old Vulcan, though powerless for beauty
Is doing his best for their loss to atone
And desires us to know he's on dutv.

CIoture for the Senate.

The question of cloture for the Senate is
again under discussion. 1t is an old ques-
ton. interesting in its way. and important.
but. unfortunately, it is always presented
at time when success Is entirely out of
all probability. Mary eminent parliament
taridns believe that such rule would
work well in the Senate, and several dis
tinguished members of that body within
the past few years have endeavored to
bring the change about. Mr.. Hill OF New
York. Mr.. Mills and Mr.. Hoar have SUBJ
mitted resolutions on the subject, but with
out securing action on them. The resolu-
tons died in committee.
1t is suggested now that only by means
of cloture can a currency reform bill be put
through the Senate at the coming session.
That admission in itself makes cIoture at
this time impossible. The currency prob
lem is one of the most important of prob
lens. 1t is more difficult, from the purely
parliamentary standpoint, than the silver
problem. There are more divisions on 1t
than on the silver problem. Senators are
either for free coinage at 16 to l as an in
dependent act by this government, or are
against it. That question has been pretty
thoroughly discussed. But the currency
question is in large measure new. Much
be said, about it, and there is a great va
riety of opinion as to what. If anything,
should be done. 1t is plain, therefore. that
when the Senate takes 1t up If it does take
1t up, the old rule for what is called full
and free debate, but which provides simply
for unlimited debate, Will be applied and
will govern the debate.
Much as cloture is desired by those who
advocate it. it is no easy matter to con-
ceiye of circumstances favorable to it's
adoption by the Senate. When measures
of the highest IN portance are up, the point
is made that the country wants and should
have only well-considered legislation, and
cioture is resisted on the score that it pro-
vides means for taking hasty legislative
judgment. When measures of small mo-
n.ent are up. delays are never employed,
ard cloture, consequently, is never men,
toned. Indeed. If the Senates rules are
ever to be changed in this regard it must
be practically by unanimous consent, for
debate on a proposition for cloture would
proceed just as unlimitedly as debate on
any other subject does. To invoke cloture,
therefore, in the interest of a measure
upon which the Serate is seriously divided
will, if it should be done, result only in CIV
ing the Senate another topic to talk about.
