A Wise Decision.

The new Attorney General has taken the
proper view of the oleomargarine comprO-
mise propositions submitted to him. His re-
fusai to check the course of the prosecution
in the pending Philadelphia cases reflects
credit upon his sense of Justice He is re-
ported as having been urged to accept the
money offered because of the likelihood that
the men accused would be acquitted. To this
it is said he replied that he did not believe
he should take the money of innocent men,
This argument and response illustrate
prominent. The men accused Of violating
the law practically admit their guilt when
they offer money to stay the hands of JUS
tice. Their proffer of a large sum can be
regarded as no less than a confession. If
the internal revenue officers have no faith
in their ability to convict In the face Of tn 8
indication of guilt something must be rad
icaily wrong with the machinery for COL
lecting evidence and preparing cases for
trial. If the law be such that bubbles and
technicalities serve to shield the perpetra-
tors of these imitation butter frauds steps
should be taken Immediately to strengthen
the statutes to prevent such miscarriage
of justice in the future. Attorney GEN
eral Griggs has given plain evidence of his
to be presumed that he will follow the line
he has laid down and will manage to find a
way to bring to book any and all confessed
perpetrators of fragrant frauds who fall
within his Jurisdiction.

The ROsslyn Charter Iniquity.

The menace to Washington involved in the
proposed Rosslyn charter is far greater
than that incidental to the maintenance of
the Alexander Island and Jackson City re-
sorts. The dives and dens will be beyond
the reach of all authorities save those Of
the municipality itself The charter pro-
poses virtual independence for the rot
ten borough across the river. Immune
from any form of judicial Intervention.
sufficient unto Itself in all matters of
licensing ard regulating all classes of re-
sorts. defiant of public opir ION, and yet
sapping the blood of the great city
within such easy reach, this pro-
posed town of Rosslyn would threaten
to become one of the notable scandals of
the country and disgrace to Virginia.
There Is evidence that this charter is so
sweeping in Its provisions as to violate the
constitution of Virginia. Aside from that
consideration, however, good public policy
would dictate the immediate rejection Of
the charter by the governor. The protest
of the District Commissioners is on file and
ought to be given due weight in the con-
sideration Of the matter. They are be-
yond the boundaries Of the state, to be
sure, but their interest in the matter Is
direct and should be needed. They repre-
sent the personal and collective concern of
a quarter million of people.

Who Are the COmplacent Ones.

President Bryan OF the telephone COM
pany is reported to have said that he had
received letters from two hundred sub
scribers declaring their perfect satisfac-
ton with existing rates and regulations
He insinuated that in the face of this
formidable showing of placidity it was folly
for the remaining two thousand subscribers
to demonstrate their dissatisfaction. Last
night six hundred of the latter class met to
voice their sentiments. Their names are
public. Their identity is made known free
ly and without hesitation. Why should not
the president of the company now make
public the names of the two hundred sub
scribers who stand forth in such marked
contrast? The citizens Of the District are
anxious to observe the people who are so
blissfuly content under system that
ninety nine per cent of the residents regard
as burdensome and tyrannical 1t would
make very interesting reading to give pub
licity not only to the names of these Sub
scribers" but also the amounts they pay to
the company for telephone service.

themselves and an outbreak would be
certain to put the lives of all Americans
present in town in jeopardy. The neces-
sity for action was represented as urgent,
and the administration sent ship to
meet it.
The destruction of the Maine has I'M
doubtedly added to the gravity Of affairs
in Havana. so far as American interests
are concerned That appears upon the
very face Of thirgs. And it was inevitable.
The local prejudice against Americans has
been deepened. and in the event of an out
break now a Spanish mob would be GER
tain, unless restrained. to make short
work of the unprotected.
For this reason an American warship
should be dispatched to Havana. and the
reason plainly stated. The occasion de-
mands 1t. War exists in Cuba. although
Spain refuses to confess the fact. The in
surgents are riding almost at will over
the greater part of the island. and in the
towns and cities, where the Spanish troops
are cooped up. the discomfort of both the
soldiers and the citizens is most menacing
to the Spanish authorities. II Senior Sa-
gasta does not know this the fault is not
that of the United States.
In replacing the Maine therefore with
another ship, capable of performing the
duty should occesi arise for which the
Maine was sent to Havana, the admins
tration ought to put the matter clearly
before Spain and the world. The United
States seeks no quarrel with Spain, but
should and will protect her own within
Spanish territory where Spain's inability
to do so stands fully revealed.

N. A. Jennings, in N. Y. World.
When above the awful din rose the sailors,
voices shrieking,
H clip! help! For Gods sake help us. ere
we sink into the sea!'
When the light from bursting shells showed
the decks with blood were reeking.
At attention stood Bill Anthony, with
courage bold and frse.
Straight and cool as on parade, from the
danger never shrinking,
The orderly saluted as in steady torres
he said:
II have sir, to inform you that the ships
blown up and sinking
Then waited for his orders while tn.
shells crashed overhead.
In the fury of charge, when the cannon
roar and thunder,
And men are drunk with fighting, acts of
bravery are sean;
But to stand still at attention" while his
ship was rent asunder
Was the kind of courage shown by Bill
Anthony, marine.
In the roster of the heroes who have
striven for Old Glory,
High on the roll of honor give Bill Anthony
a place;
Ard when our theme is courage, let US not
forget the story
OF his standing at attention when death
stared him In the face.

President McKinley's address delivered
today before the officers and students OF
the University of Pennsylvania in Phila-
delphia breathes the spirit of patriotic de-
votion to the memory of George Washing
ton and sounds the praises of liberal edu-
cation and faithful maintenance of the
credit of the country. 1t Is an admirable
utterance. avoiding as it does all reference
to existing embarrassments such as might
arouse the excitement on the part Of the
public that is greatly to be deprecated at
such a crisis as now seems imminent. In
deed the President occupies today a deli
cate position. having been scheduled to
speak long before the development of any
critical conditions surrounding his office.
He has wisely avoided every appearance
Of utilizing this occasion an opportunity
to play upon the aroused patriotism of the
people for sensational purposes by signif-
cant references to the life and words of the
first President
He quotes as follows from the words of
Washington. in reference to the relations
of tins country to others:
Observe good faith and justice toward
all nations: cultivate peace and harmony
with all: religion and morality enjoin this
conduct. Can 1t he that good policy does
not equally enjoin it2 1t will be worthy of
riod d great nation. to give to mankind
the magnanimouS and too novel example
of d people always guided by an exalted
Justice and benevolence.
This day is a monument not merely to
the man. George Washington. but to his
performances as the liberator of the Amer
lean colonies and to the system of govern
ment TO the formation of which he lent ma
terial aid. Washington's birthday. there
fore. is more than a mere holiday: it is of
equal suggestiveness and value with IN
dependence day. The direct personal MEM
DRY of the man whose birth is now nonorei
has faded in the lapse of time but in its
stead has developed a clearer view of tine
great and undying principles for which he
stood.
President Mckinley takes a view Ct his
subject that commends itself to those cit
izens who retain their faith in the insti.u-
tions inaugura:ed by Washington and mis-
colleagues. His is the view of the optirist,
the true patriot. who does not measure ra-
tons by petty standards and does rot look
forward into the future with fear. The
appeal for the credit of the nation voiced
To-Day by the Chief Magistrate, based Lpt
the life and memory of Washington should
be heard by the people OF every state in
the Union.

Another War.hip for Havana.

The administration, it is announced. will
send another warship to Havana. Every
thing would seem to Justify the decision.
The situation. so far as American interests
are concerned. is grayer than at the time
the Maine was sent.
1t is still insisted, In the diplomatic
phrase. that the Maine went to Havana to
pay "a friendly call" The phrase outside
of diplomatic circles. would be misleading

One of Ex-Secretary Lincoln's utterances
concerning the Maine disaster from the
viewpoint of international law-on the
assumption that the wreck was due to de-
sign rather than accident-will not stand
investigation He takes the ground that
the Spanish government cannot be held
accountable ii the wreck was due to the
explosion by other than governmental
hands Of one of the fixed mines with which
the harbor is unquestionably planted. He
believes that the foreign warship entering
the harbor assumes all risks. This as
sumption. however. cannot be held against
a vessel that is deliberately directed to a
certain anchorage. as was the case of the
Maine. In selecting for it the place for
snchoring the government controlling the
harbor inevitably assumes all responsible
ity for the security of the vessel from the

1t is good thing for the city of Havana
that General Edward s. Bragg is not there
at the present time. This is what would
happen:
Il know what / would do if I We're in
command at Havana harbor," said General
Bragg to reporter. Il would shell the
town, take it. and then set 1t on fire. After
the flames were well under way l would
advise the government at Washington
what 1 had done. They might remove me
from my command, but the Cuban prob
lem would be solved completely"
The hero of the Iron Brigade is now In
his SEVENTEEN year, but age cannot with
er nor custom stale his infinite valor. How
ever, it is long way from Fond du Lac
to the Cuban capital, and fortunately Cap
tain Sigsbee, not General Bragg, is in COM
mand at the latter place. Nobody ques-
lions the\ generals fighting qualities, but
for the present he should confine his in
cendiarism to the end of good cigar and
