A Sharp Pace In Railroad uipme n 1.

The progress that has been made by the
Capital Traction Company in the installa-
ton of the electric plant on Its crippled
lines is most gratifying. the announce

he running by electricity on the Fourteenth
street branch from street northward
during the coming week shows that the
corporation has not lost any time what
ever in the great undertaking to replace
the old system with the new. The Four
teenth street hill is one of the hardest
stretches on the whole road and the horses
have had difficult work in hauling the heav-
lily loaded cars to the crest during the wet
weather of the fall and early winter. Thus
il is appropriate that this section should De

that the entire road will be in electrical

arising from the seriously complicated con-

ceSses of the former owners led to the
creation of a deplorable network of legal
bonds and time appears to be required to

spain,s Latest Display of Re.en

Spain's Latest Display of Resentment.
The officials of the State Department are
surprised that there should be any excite
ment at Madrid over the disclosure OF the
tenor of Minister Woodfords latest note to
the Spanish government. When viewed
from a purely logical standpoint there is
nothing in the note, SO far as II has been
summarized, to cause any justifiable
amount of resentment on the part OF Spain
or her people. The minister has merely
shown that the United States has done
more to prevent the landing Of filibustering
expeditions on Cuban shores than has
Spain. There Is no disputing this fact. 1t
must be plain even to the prejudiced Span
ish mind This government has kept a
large feet of vessels constantly on the alert
in the vicinity of the ports nearest Cuba to
overhaul suspicious craft and this process
has cost the United States a very large sum.
1t seems certain that II the filibuster can
evade the vigilant guard OF the American
coast patrol he can land his ship safely on
the Cuban shore. The Spanish patrol
amounts to practically nothing.
When the Spanish government is remind
ed of this fact and it Is suggested that this
government Is doing far more than 1t is
really required under the strict principles
of international law to do, while Spain
relies solely upon our efforts rather than
upon her own. the Spaniards work them
selves into fever Of resentment at what

Close the Hawaiian Gatel

FROM the New York Press.
Heretofore the Press has devoted Httle
attention to the military argument for the
retihcation of the Hawaiian treaty. as
heretofore Hawaiian sovereignty has been
threatened by only one oriental power

oriental power. and measurably France,
but neither threatened. As each had re-
spected the expressed wishes of this coun-

tons of either.

have to be undertaken by the power or
powers which set out upon the declared
Bismarckian policy Of humbling American
pretensions.
There have been reasons enough before,
cogent, plausible, sufficient in all ways. for
the ratification of this instrument But this
reason is imperative. Whoever opposes this

There should be no doubt whatever of the
IrCmptness or fullness of the response of
the American people 10 President Mckin-
ley's suggestions as to the formatio of a
fund for the relief of the suffering inhab-
itants of the island of Cuba The sympa-
thy between this country and the Cubans
is close. 1t has manifested itself in many
ways at various stages of the efforts of
Spains insular subjects to free themselves.
1t has suggested the active intervention Of
this government to secure independence
for the Cubans, and it has even gone to the
extent of jeopardizing the peaceful rela-
lions of the United States with Spain to the
end that Cuba might be free.
1t is now within the knowledge of the
American people that thousands of the in
habitGnts of this nearby island lack the
necessities of life and are in danger of ex-
termination by starvation and by disease.
1t is logical step from the receipt of such

TRES. and now that the Spanish govern
n:ent, through its accredited minister in
this city. has expressed its willingness that
the United States should intervene in Cuba
for this charitable purpose. the government
has set forth the necessities of the situa

has come for action.
The Star takes pleasure in aiding directly
and indirectly and in every way 1t can

should not require much time to be fully
al preciated by Americans. Ready always

have never failed when sufferers in other
parts of the globe have been III need of in

tributions TO the starving Russian peas

thousands, of lives, and comparatively
few thousands of dollars promptly placed

United States as a charitable nation, to
prevent the death of ii multitude of Cuban
sufferers. The immediate opportunity to
help Cuba in a material way is now before
the American people.

Our Part as to China.



We cannot only lend to China brave and
intelligent naval and army offcers-we can
lend them also sagacious diplomats. In
fact, as they know, it was an American that
secured for China very good terms of peace
with Japan-much better terms than it was
possible to obtain by any other means. Ii
China wants another Burlingame-Cncle
Sam has him in readiness. To this extent
we are willing to extend our good Offices;
also to build them ships and supply them
with munitions of war-if they order them
promptly. Why not? If China has the
money to pay for them there are shipyards
in Europe that will build the ironclads. Ii
Hung Chang made an investigation on that
point last summer. He also saw our ship
yards, and 1t may be that he has business
to offer US.
Withal these new complications on the
Asiatic shores Of the Pacific make it i'm
perative for the United States to annex
Hawaii. The islands are ready and willing
to come in under the stars and stripes. Let
them come as soon as possible.

The Latest Pension Propo.It,op.

The following dispatch. bearing an In
dianapolis date line. appeared in the news
papers only few days ago:
The veterans of the war in this city are
signing petition to Congress, asking that
the United States settle with the pension
year 9ian.'
The suggestion is that every man and
woman on the rolls be paid at once the
amount he would receive If he continued to
draw pension at the present rating for
twenty years. 1t is explained that the gov
eminent might, within one year after the
adoption of such a plan, make final settle
trent with every pensioner. and at the end
of such period be ready to go out of the
pension business permanently.
Zone OF the arguments put forth in sup
port of the suggestion is that by adopting
such plan the government could at once
abolish the pension department.. The vet
Grams are generally signing the petition, it
is said"
This shows such thorough misconcep-
ton Of what pension is designed to be
that one would gladly believe the story a
fake" But it doubtless is true. and there
need be no surprise if the petition is widely
circulated and receives many signatures
outside of Indiana. Think Of the govern
ment being in the pension business" and
taking steps to "go out of it permanently"!
Think of the enormous lump sum 1t would
require to carry out the idea suggested!
Think of paying to a man who might not
live six months from that day a sum of
money calcI lated upon twenty years Of
life! Think of how little old and infirm
men, incapable many of them of managing
their own affairs, would profit by the
scheme if carried out! Think of how much
of the money would inevitably finds its
way into the pockets of harpies and SWIM
Glers!
One hesitates to charge this scheme up
to the old soldiers. There Is the suggestion
of other origin about it. That any number
of them should have been impressed with
it is to be regretted On their account. They
are not men of action now, and they have
often been victimized. The deserving old
soldier is still an object Of interest and ap-
probation in this country, and he deserves
to be. The country is deeply in his debt.
and while he lives will and ought gladly to
charge itself with seeing that he does not
want. 1t is only when by inexperience or
Importantly he becomes associated with
selfish schemers and other unworthy men
that he is made an object of criticism.

tremely sentimental girl, and was becoming
discouraged. She was gazing through the
window and exclaimed:

"Yes-I believe I have"
And that they may be peopled with be-
irgs that hope and struggle as we do? Oh,
did you ever think Of those people?''

Turning abruptly. so as to face him, she
exclaimed:
why not?'

The Worthy PensiOner All Right.
from the Syracuse Post.

The worthy pensioner need have no fear
of public criticism. This country Is big
enough and rich enough to pay all the pen
sic ms that are deserved, and 1t appreciates
too highly the services Of the Union soldier
to feel that 1t can ever render him any
adequate return for the sacrifices he has
made. The pension which It pays is not as
a reward, but only as a trifing recognition
Of the debt which 1t can never hope to
wipc out. No one would pretend that the
most liberal pension is adequate compensa-
ton for a soldiers services. It is simply a
little help to a creditor Of the nation in his
time Of need. The American people will
cheerfully pay every such pension deserved.
and at the same time reserve the right to
criticise those who unworthily ask for the
soldiers badge of honor
