The President. Re.pop.e

The names of the men whom the Presi-
dent has asked to sit as a commission and
investigate the conduct of the war are
proof sufficient of desire on his part that
all the facts of interest and value to the
country shall oe collected and published.
Both parties are drawn upon, and from
each is taken thoroughly representative
me mbers. There may be a few decina-
tioEs but not through a lack of sympathy
with the object in view by those whose
pressing private affairs make 1t impossible
for them to serve Their places will be filed
by men of like caliber, and thus the work
will be well performed.
The President in this matter. as in other
matters. has shown not only the proper
regard for public opinion, but an earnest
and sincere mans appreciation of the
proper steps to be taken to meet an i'm
portant occasion He is not playing politics.
as his enemies will of course charge upon
him. He Fas not been frightened and bull
lied into action. as the more blatant of his
critics will claim as a triumph of their
own He simply sees that now, while the
story is fresh and of greatest interest, ana
all the facts by competent management and
industry may be gathered, Is the time to
set the machinery of investigation in mo-
tion; and ne sets it in motion promising all
the power that may be necessary to make
the work complete.
What the country really desires. as the
President well understands, is a full and
impartial account not only of how the war
vas conducted, but Of the methods of pro-
cedure which the law made it necessary
should be followed. The exposure OF red
tape is to be accompanied by an exposure
of the author or authors of the red tape.
The exposure of what resulted in this case
or that from obedience to law and lawful
regulations must carry with it all that re-
lates to the law and the regulations; what
efforts in times past have been made to
provide a better system. and why and by
whom they were defeated. And from all
should be evolved and recommended such
changes as will in future prevent repeti-
ton of such shortcomings as the country
just now ls deploring.
But the Silvelas, the POlayiejas and the
Weylers in the United States will not be
satisfied with this. Like their prototypes
in Spain, their aim is wholly personal and
selfish. Their country's misfortunes move
them only to activity in their own behalf.

The DIsturbiuv Element.

The tendency of the closing years of this
century is toward a greater individual lib
erty, a broader humanity and higher and
more enlightened civilization. Monarchies
are not 'tOtterins to their fair and gov
ernment5 going to pieces. but absolr.:srn
and tyranny in all forms are gradually dis
appearing by the natural evolution of Sc
ciety under the impulse of more nearly
universal education. a nation cannot be
strong while its people are oppressed.
Therefore the ambition OF nations reach
ing out for power is leading to the greater
liberty of the people.
But there is still the disturbing element.
1t is found in all communities and on all
occasions. and should be counted on and
not be permitted to interfere with the
progress of things 1t is found in the town
council. in the church congregation, in po-
htical meetings. and even in societies or

universal peace. In the progress of the

sometimes in the shape of anarchy. That
it occasionally shocks the world with some
great horror should not cause a feeling of
despair of the attainment Of ultimate good.
This peace-loving nation takes up the
cause of humanity and is plunged into war.
The most nearly absolute of all civilized
rulers proposes to the nations of the earth
a step toward universal peace, and long
cherished passion for revenge cries out
against it.
The spirit of liberality has manifested it.
self among the ruling classes of Europe.
1t must have become evident to all close
observers that there is a more democratic
disposition developing and that the rulers
of the civilized monarchies are gradually
getting closer to the people. Many of the
barriers between the people and the gov
ernmentS have been broken down. and the
heads of the governments have been en-
deayoring to mingle among the people with
greater freedom than was possible but a
few years ago. The reason for this is pain

4 Well Deserved Tribute.

In another column will be found a trib-
ute to the men of the regular army, from
the pen of one of The Stars special corre-
spondents who was at the front in Cuba
and who saw much of them and of their
heroic work before Santiago. That these
few words of con,mendauon are well de-
served must be admitted by every one who
has followed the history of the war 1t is
not detracting one whit from the credit due

work naturally fell upon the shoulders of

one of many marked differences between

one of many marked differences between
our men and our late enemies.
The Americans are of three colors, black,
brown and white; they are all very large
men, and in marching they go whistling
or singing" said another repatriated Span
lard All of which Is quite true. And OF
the three colors 1t is question which the
undersized and underfed Spaniard would
prefer to meet il he had it to do over again.
Among the battalions there is much riv-
airy, the men advancing with chests bare,
striving which shall plant the colors farth-
est forward" Which is truest of all. Our
friends, the enemy, struck the keynote OF
the whole business right there. The mem
bers of the Spanish cabinet and of the
ct rtes, who stayed at home, have other ex-
plantations to offer for the way things turn
ed out, but we rather think that these pri-
Yates who went up against a hard propo-
sition' In Cuba have furnished the best So
luton of all.

NO Refuge Here for Anarchists.

From the New York Herald
Luccesi, the bastard who stabbed th=
En- press of Austria to DEATH cannot suffer
the death penalty because the law of the
Swiss cantcn in which he committed the
crime does not recognize capital punish
ment.
The world is, therefore, robbed of the
right of seeing this villain strung up on the
galloWs
The feeling in Europe about this murder
is no more intense than here. If there is
such a thing as a concerted movement
among the men known as anarchists they
must seek no refuge or asylum on this side
of the Atlantic.
They are utterly abhorrent to every
American idea. We consider them vermin
to be stamped out of existence the moment
they show.

4 Crime Against Humanity.

The existence of any grade crossings in

and governmental insfficiency. 1t may he

above all things, no charter ever should
be granted to a railroad company when
will allow it to cross the tracks of another
railroad company at grade. The psrmis-
sion of such dangerous economy is an
hourly invitation to tragedies like the one
