thing to offer. and they are making their
offers in entire good faith.
Not so Spain. Her overtures are dis
tinctly move in a game. and have no
genuine relations to trade whatever. They
are really. at bottom. an Impeachment of
the sincerity of the United States in the
matter of Cuba, and, in effect. are meant
to be bribe to influence the action of this
that island. which has now reached a criti-
cal stage for Spain. Senior Sagasta, in
deed, goes upon the Blanco tack. General
Blanco is abroad trying to buy up insur-
gent chiefs with money. and Senor Sagasta
reciprocity treaty. General Blancos money
is probably genuine, but Senior Sagasta' s
offer has no value. So far as Cuba is con-
the event Of Spanish success in the strug-
gle 1t will remain at low and unprofit-
able ebb for many years to come.
AS we have already said, this offer from
Spain is not genuine. 1t is not entitled to
be classed with those of France, Germany,
Canada, and Central and South American
countries. all of which come to us with
established and prosperous business to
support their negotiations. Spain, on the
other hand. is but playing game for de-
lay in the Cuban business. or else Is set
ting a price in an effort to induce the
United States to intervene in her interests
rather than in those of the men who are
fighting for Cuban liberty. Spain undoubt-
edly thinks very poorly of us, but We
ought not by our actions to support her in
that opinion.

Snow and Charity.

The first Stow of the season stimulates
the business Of the blacksmiths and the
pavement cleaners, and it should stimulate
as well the charitable instincts of the peo-
pie with the means to give to the poor and
the suffering. Up to this time there has
been SO little bitter weather that there was
practically no need for general charity
work. save On the ordinary basis that can
never be abandoned. 1t Is the usual ex-
pef1ence, however, that the first sign of
real winter Increases the legitimate de-
mand upon the charitable agencies of the
community and it is to be feared that un-
less thaw sets in at once much suffering
will be caused by the snow. 1t is comfort
ing to reflect that the falling element gives
employment to many men and boys, who
are enabled to earn a few dimes by their
work in cleaning sidewalks. But there are
very many others. especially women and
children. beyond the reach of this small
item of aid and the charitable institutions
that do missionary work among the poor
should be enabled to provide for the i'm
mediate relief of all cases of genuine need:

The water-Meter scheme.

Every one who wishes to complete the
tunnel and reservoir, to render productive
the two millions now buried in the aban-
doned tunnel. and to increase largely and
to certainty the capitals water supply
plus water fund for the purchase of water
meters. for upon this fund the District
must largely rely for the means of meeting
its share of the cost of tunnel completion.
Every one who wishes to increase the
healthfulnesS and attractiveness of WASH
ington residence city by purifying the
water supply should oppose the water
meter scheme, for the fund to be devoted
to the purchase of meters is practically the
Districts only resource to meet it's share
of the cost of filtration.
Will any economical statesman of the
House neglect to use the surplus water
fund In making profitable to the nation the
million which ii has sunk in the uncom-
pleted tunnel? Will he prefer to lavish this
fund upon some enterprising water-meter
company?
The meter scheme violates the spirit of
the organic act of 1878. 1t takes million
water-users, which is equivalent to two
millions if spent in tunnel completion or on
filtration plant. and wastes 1t, unaccom-
panied by corresponding national contri-
button. in the purchase of water-meters. 1t
takes. the Districts double dollars and
spends them as single dollars upon some
thing that the people do not want at any
price.

A BcIated sign of Winter.

January closes with the first real sign
of winter that the season has thus far
disclosed The snow that has fallen brings
many discomforts, but it may reassure
certain minds of the apprehension that
something extraordinary was underway
among the elements that usually negotiate
with the capital city and the surrounding
country To progress through the second
month of the winter without any snow is
so remarkable an experience that the heads
of oldest Inhabitants are weary with shak-
ing in recollection of precedents. There
has been much moisture this winter. The
precipitation has been excessive, but 1t
has not been coupled with sufficiently
low temperatures to mako 1t snow instead
Of rain.
Today's storm finds the city in bad con-
clifton to receive it. There are too many
horse cars in operation now to ensure a
cordial reception to the slippery stuff that
covers the pavements and fills the hoofs
Of the horses. Yet in the present discom-
fort most Washingtonians will be dis
posed to remember what might have been
II the snow had come carrier in the sea-
son. There is comfort in the reflection that
the forbearance Of the elements has en-
abled the contractor for the work on the
electric equipment Of the -citys largest
street railroad system to push ahead to
a stage that would have been utterly i'm
possible II the winter had followed the
ordinary course. 1t Is gratifying to realize
tnat however bad the remainder of the
winter may be the weather cannot well
compensate itself for its lost opportunity.

DiscrinnlnutiOn.

Nobody knows exactly what proportion of
water waste is to be attributed to the gov
ernment departments, to old and Ieaky
mains and TO the criminal or careless do
mestic consumers. Every ore knows that
the iast-named class are the smallest Of
tenders Why. then, apply tie meters sole
ly to them? Why, in order to correct an
alleged waste of uncertain amount compel
the domestic users to pay a million dollars
exclusively from their own pockets to fas-
ten water-meters upon themselves? The
law already authorizes the Commissioners
TO require the use of meters by large con-
sumers- Amend this law and extend its
application still further if necessary or de-
sirable. Give the Commissioners power to
compel persons convicted of waste Of water
to use meters and pay on the measured
basis. This would be a just and fitting
punishment for the guilty. but why should
IL be imposed upon all domestic consumers.

Wise Decision in the House.

The decision of the republicans of the
House to consider and promptly dispose Of
the Teller resolution is wise. The resolu-
tion is not so momentous as. at glance
1t appears to be, but there is just that in it
which. were it dawdled with by the House,
would give it unusual consequence every
where. The House will negative the reso-
luton by good round majority, and that
will bring the measure to an end
Have the silver men gained anything by
the maneuver? Hardly So The larger as
pect of the silver question has not been
changed in the slightest. A little politics
has been played. and with the usual re-
suit. The silver men criticised the Presi-
dent for bringing forward the currency
question at time when il ought to have
been plain to him that nothing could be
done 1t seemed to them useless proceed
ure. But right on the heels Of their criti-
cism they bring forward the Teller resolu-
tion. with no more chance of success with
ii than. as they had asserted, the Presi-
dent had with his currency proposition.
And there you are. The Presidents cur
rency proposition has no chance in the
Senate. and the Teller resolution has no
chance in the House. Colloquially esti-
mated, it is dog fall. Neither side is on
public credit unimpaired through the
knowledge that the President Is still to be
relied upon to execute the declared policy
of his party
The discussion would have lacked an en-
tertaining feature if the English press. by
some sort of accident, had got the straight
Of the matter. But it did not. 1t is a
very reliable press In the way of miscon-
ceiving and mistaking everything Ameri-
can The London Times contributes the
usual diversion. 1t sees the President get
ting down at last, and reluctantly, on the
right side of the fence. The President in
his New York speech merely reaffirmed
his loyalty to the ST. Louis platform
something about which there was no
doubt But the subject of finance was UP.
and as he was the star of the evening 1t was
in order for him to declare himself There
Is not an intelligent man in the United
States who expected any other deliverance
from him than the one recorded
Then the Times thinks Mr.. Cleveland
would be a stronger man for the emer-
gency than Mr.. Mckinley viii prove That
also is funny. Mr.. Clevelands strength in
a similar emergency which he met was
wholly negative. And necessarily so. On
the financial question he was a President
"ithOut party. oniy cOrpOraiS guard
of the democracy stood by him. His hands
were held up by the republican party
which was justified in rallying to him be-
cause he was executing a policy of repub-
lican inauguration and antecedents. This
made Mr.. Cleveland simply an obstruction
to the silver men-an important part to
play at the time. but a negative one. Mr..
Mckinley, on the other hand. may hope
by conservatism and good management to
be more than an obstruction. He has a

The Teachers' Contention.

The Star is gratified to note that it's word
OF warning in regard to the proposed
assessment Of the public school teachers
for the educational convention fund was
Needed by the board of trustees Saturday.
The action then taken will serve to clear
the atmosphere OF any misunderstanding
and prevent the growth of hostile feeling
between the teachers and their superior
officials. The teachers will doubtless enter
heartily into the spirit OF the occasion of
the convention and aid in every possible
way to ensure the success of that occasion.
Indeed the success Of the meeting is already
certain; ard 1t would have been deplorable
had the event been permitted to create
and asgravate the least friction among the
educators of this city, for such friction
could tend Only to inJure the efficiency OF
the public school system of the District.
