There need be no doubt that the Ameri-
can members of the commission which will
meet in Paris and arrange the terms of
final settlement between the United States
and Spain will be men of the highest credit
and capacity, amply able and disposed to
protect the country's best interests The
work calls for men of the first class, and
such are at the Presidents command. That
the commissioners will work in unison-will
presen1 solid front in support of the
American case-is also easy of belief.

of the commission. There is time, there

proved. There is full recognition of the
necessity Of governing the fruits of victory
in way which shall make them of last
ing benefit TO the country.
Il is scarcely necessary to add that the
discussion in Paris will be confined solely
TO the United States and Spain. Not only
will no other power be represented on the
commission, but no other power will be
heard, even indirectly. What this outside,

The United States cannot escape censure
and deserved ridicu,e if it is true, as urged
by some that the Cuban people are incapa-
bic of government and unworthy of re-
srect. f. went 10 war with Spain and has
cOnque 4 her upon q proposition the very
opposit Of this Not from hearsay, not
from assumption. but from information
furnished by men of credit and high posi-
ton, who had made personal inspection of
the situation in Cuba, this government
championed the cause of the insurgents,
and Congress formally declared the Cuban
people 10 be worthy of freedom. But We
are asked now to believe that the American
blood that has been shed and the American
treasure expended in support of that cause
are without Justification; that the Cubans
are a low and an irresponsible order of be-
ings, without merit by nature or the fac
ulty of acquiring merit.

not by a newsgatherer, but evidently by ii
statesman shaping national policy-declarcs

Do they? That has been Spain's contention

dealing with the Cubars. General Weyler

If we are to accept the Weyler estimate

our estimate of its author. We should ais.

in work for which she vas so well pre-
pared and so strongly inclined. She would
have finished it far more speedily than we
can hope to do if We ar simply to take up
her policy and carry it through on her own
lines.
But the Cuban people will not be tried
and condemned on the strength of the un-
Favorable impression which some of the in
surgents made on some of the American
troops in front of Santiago. There was d
gCcd deal of hurry and furry on both sides
there. The Insurgents came out of the will
derness naked and half starved, after three
years of hardships which in three weeks
told severely on the American forces. They
were not soldiers in ths sense that our men
were soldiers. Their capacity principally
was for bushwhacking. Our men were fit
and eager, anxious to make short work of
the emmy, and they became impatient
with allies rot up to their own standard.
The Santiago campaign will not be re-
peated in Cuba. The American troops who
rext go TO the island will meet the people
OF Cuba under circumstances calculated TO
give each an opinion of the other which
shall make for good relations and the bene-
fiji of both sides.

Lii Hung Chang IL Storm Center.

In view of the present impotence of the
British rlnistry's policies with regard TO
the far east the announcement now COM
ing from London that the foreign office VIII

be generally received with doubts. Events
may follow the declaration proving ITS
truth and the sincerity of the foreign Of
flee, but it is evident that the people OF
both England and America will await such
events before creditIng the ministry with
this bold purpose. For the step outlined
points more surely to a conflict with Rus
sia than any other indication since the
Chino-Japanese war, and the entire record
Of the Salisbury ministry is opposed to the
assumption that the premier will risk hos
tilities. He has hitherto contented himself
with generalitles and formal protests and
inefficient demands, and at no stage Of the
process cf gradual Russian ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
in China has he peremptorily put down
his foot and declared that the Outstanding
of China must stop. The result is that his
ministry has lost prestige both at home and
abroad, especially in China, where the
Russian influence is at present strongly
dominant. One consequence of this waning
of force has been the emergence of Ii
Hung Chang from his retirement into
position of power, and as he is avowediy
anti-British and pro-Russian in his SYM
pathies the government at St Petersburg
has made rapid advances toward the con-
troll over the government at Pekin which is
so vital necessity in view of the exten-
sive program that Russia has mapped out.
In every line of the Russian expansion
England confronts her On the south, be-
yond Afghanistan, England stands OBJ

ent condition of affairs, any advance to the
Indian ocean for the securing of that great
Russian desideratum, an oriental port
Further westward, at the mouth of the
Black sea, England is still sufficiently DOW
erful with the porte to render an aggressive
campaign for Russian domination over Tur-
key at least inadvisabe. In the east, south
of the Chinese empire is England in India
once again. while her holding at Hong
Kong enables her TO maintain on the east
ern coast a sufficient naval force to give
her formidable lighting power The late
changes in the situation have all been to
Russia's advantage and to England's dis
advantage Germany has profited inciden-
tally, while France has come in for a share
OF the crumbs, but the main issue is now as
II Will long remain between Russia and
England, and the fight for the control of
the Isung-Li-1 1amen involves, therefore,
all the potentialities for warfare involved
IN the disputes over land concessions, rail-
road grants and the like. The world may in
a lew days be changed according as this
statement about Ii Hung Chang is proved
or disproved. The venerable celestial thus

who may arrogantly resist all regulation in
the public interest.
The functions Of a newspaper, according
TO The Stars view, are to collect and print
accurately all the news, and editorialIy to
constitute itself the public-spirited advo-
cate of the interests of the community in
which it is printed, not sacrificing the
policy of promoting the general welfare to
any private interest whatsoever, and pro-
tecting life, property and the rights of the
average citizen against all assailants,

Tie dollar Of Immediate gain is not to
be the controlling consideration The Times
throws up its hands in Arrangement because
it is unable to find that The Stars crusade
against the overhe ad trolley brought to 1t
a sinS,e penny of direct benefit. The re-
ward, as IN the instance cited, is found in
the increased confidence and regard of the
community and in the enjoyment with the
whole city of the BENEFITS of the model un-
derground electric system. with which, as
a result of the arti-trolley fight, the ma
tional apital is blessed.
The Star will therefore continue to med
die in every affair N which it can strike a
blow for the hereff of the city and peopls
of Washington, disregarding necessarily the
terrible consequences with which its CO.
temporary threatens IT. 1t cannot assent to
the Times idea, as axemplified by precept
and practice. of what constitutes news
paper.
The Star would not consider itself
newspaper at all, if, lacking the Associated
Press facilities, special correspondents and
a large and expert local force, it were re-
duced to become a journalistic chiffonnier
picking from and working over the drop
pings of the New York newspapers; if,
denied public confidence in its honesty, sim
cerity and disinterest tedness of purpose, it
were degraded from the position of defender
of the city's welfare, aud sunk to become
merely the exponent of the views of its
owners personal investments. The name of
newspaper is misused and abused when ap-
piled to sheet which speaks only as the
money talks in its owners pocket book, and
which serves its main purpose as an ad-
juncx useful in his business of promoter OF
legislative and speculative schemes.

The flooding Of some of the streets in the

that improvements be made at an early
date in the city's sewerage system. The
low places where these temporary inunda-

laid many years ago, without proper con-
