Spain's Delay in Cuba.

The delay in the evacuation of Cuba is
daily increasing the difficulties of the United
States. While the Spaniards remain condi-
tions necessarily go from bad to worse.
They were bad enough at the time of the
suspension Of hostilities. They are very
much worse now. The sounding of the
doom of Spain operated on every Spanish
scoundrel in civil office or in shoulder straps
as a last call to loot and they have been in
dustriOusly improving their opportunity.
The soldiers in the ranks meanwhile are
not only idle and empty of pocket. They
not only have no chance to share in the
plumber going on but they are unable even
to get a single peseta of the months of
back pay due them. There is presented,
therefore. and especially in Havana, the
spectacle of a large armed force with moth
ing to do quartered on people who are anA-
iOus to them depart. and on whom those
in command preying to the utmost of
their ability. This creates and spreads re-
sentiment among the victims and increases
their wonder at the apparent American
powerlessness.
II is true. of course that the task of de-
porting large a force of soldiers is an
enormous one. 1t is also true that Spain Is
limited in the matter of ships with which to
move her men. But it is also true that she
sion TO Cuba The evacuation of Porto Rico
is complete. Why, then. does she not head
her transport fleet at once for Havana and
begin actively the work to which she is
committed by the peace protocol without
regard to the work in progress in Paris?
Not only is the question of order at stake.
but likewise the question of health. We
have seen At Santiago Spanish control con-
traSted with American control. When Cen
eral Shafter moved in he found town too
foul for disinfection. Health at every turn
was menaCed and the sick list ranged in
the thousands. The first American step
was to clean the town, and this under the
directions of Generals LawtOn and Wood
has been so thoroughly accomplished that
people come and go now with entire safety.
Havana may not be in quite SO forbidding
condition. but as compared with what
should exist and under American control
speedily would exist, what does exist there
is both dangerous and reprehensible. Col
onel Warins of New York, an altogether
competent authority. after an inspection
of the city has reported that an enormous
sum will be necessary to put Havana in the
proper condition as 10 health. The necessity
of early action is brought painfully home
to US by the invasion by yellow fever of
our evacuation commission and the death
OF one and the illness of another of the at
taches.
The Spanish purpose is hurtful all around.

not stand longer upon the order of her go

The Withdrawal of ,Inrchaua

Cold Weather ..Obseryation- Cars

Some degree of pointed official attention
is apparently required to bring the street
railway companies of this city to a realiz-
ing sense of duty toward their patrons in
the matter of running open cars when the
thermometer is dropping This is not
warm day. Some folks find it sharp and
chill They surprised in consequence
to see summer cars in regular service
on the Georgetown and 14th street branch
es. of the Capital Traction line, perhaps on
other roads in the city. They naturally
wonder. OF course no Cne is compelled to
ride in one of these skeleton structures
while the wind is blowing half a gale and
the temperature is low, but their use means
that the number of closed cars is practi-
cally reduced one-half and this puts a pre-
MUM on comfortable seating facilities and
in many cases forces into the open cars
people who would welcome chance to sit
down in the warmer vehicles. There is a
certain temptation, too, to face the breeze
but 1t brings its serious dangers. The char
terS of the railroads stipulate as d rule that
the companies shall e9Utp their lines with
first class cars, with all modern improve
ments for the comfort and conE eutence of
passengers" An open car IS assureGly not

some Remarkable Gotham Reasoning.

1t is difncult TO follow the reasoning Of
those eminent democratic lawyers in New
York who are moving to rebuke Richard
Croker by voting against his city Judicial
ticket and yet are resolved to support lis
state political ticket. 1t is Croker. the
boss Of the city. who by reason of his
power rs boss has attempted to debaucn
the bench. 1t is the republican party
which. il Mr. Croker is to be rebuked al
the polls must furnish the great bulk of
the votes. And Yet these democratic law
yers who are relying upon the republicans
TO preserve the dignity and purity of the
city bench are preparing 10 help break the
republicans down in the affairs Of the state
and enth one MIR Croker as boss at Al
bany, where. working in the larger field
anu with increased assurance, the Tam
many boss, With q chance, will sweep
everything before him. They want his
power curbed in the city. and yet are str.v-
ing to invest him with autocratic power
over the whole state. Such d position is a
crime against common sense.
Equally remarkable too is the attitude
Of those gold democrats who are intending
to vote for democratic candidates for Con-
gress simply on the strength of the fact
that the Syracuse convention suppressed
ali mention of the Chicago platform These
men very well know that the great body
of democratic representatives elected to the
next House Will be silver men, and that in
case of democratic control of that body an
attempt will be made to pass a free silver
bill. The only possible hope in sucn cir
Gums tances for the defeat of the meas
ure VIII be through the co-opera-
ton of the republican members and as
many eastern democrats as can be mus
tered in opposition. The republicans in
any circumstances will have to furnish the
bulk Of the sound money vote. They will
stand between the credit of the country
and that threat. The gold democrats very
well understand this And yet they are

rapid transit basis, will prove a paying
property. Incidentally. it will afford TO the
people living within it's sphere of useful
ness a degree of convenience which has
never before been known.
The capitalists Interest," in this opera
ton now have control of the lexington,
Belt Washington and Maryland. and Ten
leytown lines. None of these roads, 1t is
believed. has recently paid dividends. or
even met operating expenses. Their pur-
chase by a corporation determined to equip
them with modern rapid transit facilities
and their consolidation into broad system
is a step in the right direction. They
cover a large part of the City's area, and
united have more trackage than any other
single system. The TenleytoWn is not now
connected with the other parts of this pro-
posed consolidation and may not be so
connected for some time, but it forms
possible outlet for the combined roads into
the extreme western portion of the District
and well illustrates the value of bringing
under comprehensive management and
into union with the trunk lines of the city
the small, weak suburban roads which
have heretofore had but struggling, pre-
carious existence.
The equipment of the old lexington road.
now the principal section of the City and
Suburban system, has been virtually start
ed and every present indication is that this
road will be placed on rapid transit basis
within the time specified by Congress. 1t
is not to be expected that the Belt or the
Anacostia will be quickly equipped for
each of these lines is yet entangled in legal
difficulties which must first be straight
ened. The people of this city will be pa
tient with the owners as long as they show
evidences of good faith in proceeding with
their work and carrying out their promises.
When this consolidation shall have been
effected and all the equipment work fin
ished Washington will be in possession of
a street railway system second to none in
the world. 1t has long been closely OBJ
served by street railway managers, capi-
talists and citizens generally in all parts of
this country because of the development
here of the underground system and the
persistent and successful fight against the
overhead trolley, and when at last the en-
tire city shall be served with high-class
electric cars fed from a conduit, without d
cable or a horse car in evidence, the real
and substantial fruits of the long war
waSed by The Star and the citizens of the
capital will doubtless be widely appre-
cidted.

WnshinEtOn's Good Idea.
From the Baltimore American.


The people of the city of Washington
nave made up their minds that they want
a centennial celebration of their own This
they propose to hold two years hence-in
lJO-Whlch will be just a century since
the city became the actual capital of the
nation. Preliminary meetings have already
been held with this end in view, and al
though the plans for the centennial have
not taken definite shape yet public interest
has been aroused, and the people are grow
ing enthusiastic over the idea
Such an anniversary should not be al
lowed to pass unnoticed. There is certainly
lar more reason for its appropriate celebIa-
non than could be found for some of the
centennials that have been held in various
parts of the country. AS the nations capi-
tai fcr the past century, Washington has
been the scene of many of the leading
events in the nations history Congress
which rules over the people of Washington
when it finds time to do so, should look
with favor on the idea and help it along in
a practical sort of way. The centennial
could be made not only great occasion in
the history If the national capital. but in
the history of the nation itself

TO suggest that one OF the surest signs of

ton CT the people is his readiness of late 20
talk freely and vituperatively on the issues
of the campaign, and particularly that af-
fectiEg the judiciary. Mr.. Choate is I'M
questionably right in his estimate of the
man. Hereto lore Richard Croker has been
remarkable for his silence under the most
trying circumstances. Without the ability
of some of lis predecessors in control of
Tammauy Hall, he has achieved marked
success by his capacity for keeping still

acquaintance with the turf and incidentally
to keep beyond the reach of subpoenas
But when the storm passed and conditions

Mr.. Croker returned, but he kept his mouth
shut His silence during the campaign of
1897 was in line with his reputation for an
ability to work hard under the surface
But this year he seems to have forgotten
or else cast contemptuously aside his prin-
ciple of silence. The assault of the Bar
Association angered him and he began to
talk, reckle2sly, i; has seemed to most peo-
pie, and assUredly without much QisCrim-

the affair is so near a settlement, for
war between England and France would
he most disastrous break in the peace
OF Europe. 1t remains to be seen what
recompenses England will be willing to
make to France for this surrender. the
suspicion is strong that there will be none
such, that the matter will be permitted to
drag along in diplomacy until everybody
has forgotten about Marchand and Fa-
shoda and greater affairs are in evidence.
If England's contention is correct, that
Marchand is an interoper within the Brit
lsh sphere of influence in the Nile country,
his withdrawal is not an act of grace, but
an act of justice.
