Asking for Wore Figures.

The letter addressed today by the House
telephone committee to the officers of the
telephone company, asking for further
financial facts, follows the lines of The
Stars suggestions in the course of it's COM
ments the companys balance sheet,
submitted last week 1t was then shown
that the report of finances was written in
too round terms to satisfy the legitimate
curiosity of the citizens and could not very
well serve tie purpose of the subcommittee
to ascertain the exact facts about the prof
its of the telephone company. These latest
acquisitions for information, if granted by
the company, will disclose practically the
entire financial history of the corporation
from its organization and Will furnish the

corporate and individual The issue raised
in this branch of the case is plain. 1t is
whether or not the company can afford to
furnish frst-class telephone service to the
people of the District for far lower rates
ttan are now charged, and yet earn Il
reasonable profit on the investment. Com
mon experience teaches that the company
can do this. Tie company's contention is
that it cannot do this thing, and that if il
reduces its rates II must lower the quality
of the service. The figures now demanded

An Unparalleled Opportunity.

II is evident that an ERA Of good feeling
has interviewed in the relations OF this
country with Great Britain and Japan.
Those nations are in a decidedly friendly
attitude toward the United States The
former mas given many tokens of regard
for us in this crisis of ours that involves
the possibility of war. The natural ties OF
blood and a common speech are asserting
themselves. Both Great Britain and Japan
o. course. are far-sigtted. They see that
the United States can WELD a powerful in
nUenee in their behalf in the event of their
becoming involved in complications over
the ever-perplexing situation in the far
cast There may be no likelihood of Amer
lean Intervention in such climax, but our
iriendline5s would be of the utmost i'm
pcrtance to both nations in any such en-
b@rrassment a conflict with the allied
pations now encroaching upon China and
threatening the commercial prestige of
England and the national development of
Japan
Each Of these nations has been suspected
OF being enviOus OF the United States for
its opportunity to secure possession of Ha-
vail Japans former maneuvering to
thwars the manifest destiny" of the two
republics is well known Engiand's senti-
ments are fairly well understood But in
the light of the late developments each of
these governments has come forward with
distinct disavowals Of any intent to secure
possession of the valuable group in the Pa
cific, coupling these disclaimers with ex-
pressions of extreme friehdlness for the
United States. Yesterday in the house of
commons Mr.. Curzon, for the foreign Of
fee, in answer to an Interpolation, said
that there was no truth in the statemen.
that England had plotted or was plotting
10 secure the absorption OF the Hawaiian
sovereignty.
There is no question of the sympathy of
Great Britain for the United States in this
Cuban business. Expressions of praise for
the course pursued by this government
and OF hope that IL will succeed in bring
Ing peace and health to the miserable ISL
ard are to be noted every hand from
British sources. Suggestions of sympathy

lively small force available for protection.
The case, which is only a sample Of others
in various sections, comes to notice in good
season. for 1t may be possible so to direct
congressional attention to this wide dis
crepancy between the possibilities and the
needs of the police department that the
District bill may be SO changed in con-
ference as to raise the force to an adequate
number. In view of the smallness of the
force the chief of police Is obliged to con-
fess his inability to guarantee to the dwell

Peace. Food and Freedom for Cuba.


This government has already interviewed

and consent to American succor of the re-
concentrates, who were to be starved in
pursuance of that order. Interventi ON
these lines has not been forcibly resisted by
Spain and has given no pretext for Euro
pean interference. There is a tendency to
believe that further persistent and vigor
Gus Intervention of this Sort as, for in
stance. to feed the starving and to check
the war in Cuba. which through it's bar
barities has caused this starvation, would
be effective in throwing upon Spain the re-
sponsibility of declaring war against S, if
war must come, and of fighting in cause
which other European government
could afford to sustain. There are m;sgiv-
ingS concerning the consequences of basing
active hostilities by us solely upon the
ground of the explosion of the Maine. OF
course, if the finding of our board of in
quiry is to the effect that the primary ex-
plcsion was that of a mine fixed in Havana
harbor prior to the entrance of the Maine,
nothing could should prevent declara-
tion of war by the United States. for war
would already have begun by the act of
Spain. But if the finding is to the effect
that the primary explosion was external
with the evidence tending to favor the idea
that a torpedo was directed against the
ship as the act of some absolutely I'M
known individual, and the extent of our
open contention against Spain is that she
failed to exercise due diligence in protect
ing vessel in her port against the indi-
Vidual dynamiter, then the case is more
difficult.
If our demand is for a monay indemnity
based on Spains lack of due diligence the
case is taken out of the class in which ma
tional honor is affected, the appeal 10 ar
btra;ion would be very hard for this ar
misunderstanding country consistently
10 resist, and if refused there might be
plausible pretext furnished for European
intervention. OF course speculation is pre-
mature which is based upon discussion Of
the report of the board of inquiry. That
report may BE- of a character to sweep
away every doubt concerning the course
which We should pursue. But it will con-
tribute to a wise as well a patriotic and
thoroughly American solution of the prob
lem If we Keep steadily in mind tn, posi-
hihJy of such finding in respect to the
Maine disaster that spsedier and more GER
tain results in obtaining food and freedom
for starving and enslaved Cuba will be Sc
cured by pushing vigorously forward on
lines already marked out, and by refraining
from basing our case against Spain in re-
spect 10 Cuba solely Upon our allegations
and fixed national belief concerning the
Maine explosion. Peace for warning Cuba,
food for starving Cuba and independence
for freedom-seeking Cuba are to be at
tanned by the shortest and least Distracted
path.

A Wise Action.

The action of the Commissioners in re-
scinding the regulation requiring private
vehicles of all sorts to carry lights after
dark was amply justified by the showing
made to them at yesterdays hearing on
the subject. 1t was then demonstrated to
a sufficient extent that there was no neces-
sity for such regulation, that its enforce
mcnt would impose annoying and even Sc
ricus burdens upon some owners and users
of vehicles, and that it's REIMBURSEMENT
would involve the community in no dan
gers whatever. In view of this state OF
the case the abandonment of the rule was
logical and commendable.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1898-03-23

OF a similar sort have been heard from
Japan and thus. the United States stands
approved in its position by these two ma
ticEs that are most directly concerned in
at least one and to some extent more of
the projects of International consequence
in which this country is now interested.
These projects are, first. the annexation of
Hawaii; second the settlement of the Gu
ban war on an honorable basis; third the
completion of the Nicaraguan canal under
scmi-goyernfneEtal auspices. Beyond these
there is nothing in sight that will take the
United States beyond her own boundaries
for many years to come. They comprise
practically every item of our foreign pol
icy as it is at present outlined.
In view of all the circumstances, there
fore, the time is propitious for the accom-
pl;shment of these three worthy objects
Hawaii is anxious for annex alton and the
votes are at haLd in the American Con-
gross for the approval of the joint resolu-
ton providing for that contamination. The
time for Cuban Intervention on sucl,
grounds that no word of protest can right
eeusly be spoken from Europe outside of
Spain is clearly at hard. The official re-
pert Of the expert commission to deter
miEe the practicability of completing the
Nlcaraguan canal Will soon De presenter
and on it the government will be author
led to act. The three projects are closely
allied in their possibilities of development.
VIII the United States neglect this oppor-
tunity to take advantage of the spirit of
fTiendliness on the part of two of the
worlds most influential nations, the one in
the east and the other in Europe, in order
to accomplish at minimum of embarrass-
T.ent all that is outlined for ii for many
years to come? The opportunity is golden.

novel plan for elevating Georgia NOR
ais has been formulated by a well-known
citizen of Atlanta. Just the like of it was
probably never before conceived. He pro-
poses that each county shall decide by vote
on January l of each year. who the worst
man in the county Is, and that the man re-
ceiving the highest number of votes shall
on the ensuing February / be hanged. 1t is
claimed for the plan that 1t would induce
bad men to emigrate and that the "compli-

be one of the Developments of the neal
future. A first-class modern ironclad costs
about 81, 000, 900 This would construct and
equip for war purposes a great many bal
looms, and it would seem as If they nigh
be used by the inhabitants of a besieget
city with which to sail over an invading
fleet and drop explosives upon the war
ships underneath with deadly effect. They
might also be utilized to drop these ex
posives over the cities occupied by an OPP
ponent. OF course, there would be con
siderable risk in such an enterprise, un
less the balloons could be properly steered
but the dirigible balloon is one of the in
ventions that we may expect 10 see in the

$4,000 worth of vegetables, at an expense
of only $500 from about 425 acres of land
This practical demonstration at once made
the "Pingree potato patch idea popular
and it was applied here last year. The OPP
erations We're on a small scale, for only
about twenty-five acres of ground were Sc
cured but the majority of the 100 families
who worked this land last year reported
that they raised enough vegetables to sup
ply them through the winter. This year the
committee have secured double the former
acreage, which means that 200 families will
be given an opportunity 10 do much to-
ward earning their own subsistence and
certainly retain their self-respect.
