Judge McComns in the Lead.

The preliminary balloting Of Annapolis
today for United States Senator from Mary
lend indicates that the suppositions about
the strength of Judge McComas in his
party for this position were accurate. 1t
is plain that he not only commands a ma
jority of the republican votes, but that he
is second choice of 4 sufficient number of
legislators to give him long lead within
the party. If caucus of republicans were
held today's balloting serves to show that
Judge McComas would be the nominee of
the party and would undoubtedly be the
choice of the legislature. 1t appears from
the dispatches that AL that can now de-
feat him is combination of democrats
and boiling republicans and the fate of a
similar movement in Ohio renders such a
Project extremely unlikely to succeed even
if it were attempted.

Stop the Whole Thing.

1t now seems extremely likely that the
Spanish revolt III Havana will have the
unlooked-for effect of speedily bringing
about the independence of Cuba.
The moment has arrived when this gov
eminent has every warrant for intervening
between Spain and Cuba and demanding
the termination of Spain's hopeless effort
to longer hold or Cypress that island. In
the event of Spains refusal to entertain
such a proposition the American Congress
should formally recognize the belligerency
of Cuba and take steps to insure fair play
to the Cubans in the crisis to follow.
American commerce and American inter-
ests in Cuba have already suffered from
Spain's futile effort to subdue her rebellious
dependency as the commerce and interests
of no European power would have been al
lowed to suffer under such circumstances.
The lives and property of Americans in
Havana are now imperiled, and the hour
for Uncle Sans appearance on the Cuban
stage has struck.
Were it British commerce and British in
vested interests thus affected in Cuba; We're

mobbed and British consul generals life
in peril it would not be longer than twenty
four hours before Havana would lie under
the guns of British fleet and its streets

A PeremptOry Refusal.

Today's news dispatches from London
announce that Great Britain has once
more refused to reopen the sealing ques-
ton, this time without assigning any rea-
sons. There are accommodating evidences
that the government at London is not
playing fair in this matter. When it de-
clined a short time ago to accede to the
request of the United States for a reopen
ing of the case it assigned reason the
suggestion that it would be improper to
reopen the case while negotiations were
pending between this government and
Canada. To this the United States replied
that no negotiations were in fact pending.

peremptory declination, without reasons.

the two nations that should always exist;

Of death working through starvation?
1t is sadly confessed that our efforts in
behalf Of the reconcentrados must fail.
They were begun too late. The difficult
ties cannot be surmounted. The appeal
was noble, but MISUNDERSTANDING and de-
lays have frustrated the aims of the friends
of Cuba. The victims of General Weyler s
barbarity who remain above ground are
yet too numerous and too far gone to
be saved even by the most active and gen.
erous responses of charity now possible.
The appeal should have come earlier, and
that it did not is due entirely. to a too

pride When the appeal finally did come.
it turned out that Spain had no pride
whatever in the premises. She was per-
fectly willing that the United States should
step in and succor the thousands Of Span
ish subjects whom Spanish inhumanity had
driven to the brink of the grave.
Take, then, this matter of intervention
by force to protect life and property while
it is yet time to save them. Why put 1t
off until a destructive explosion has &C
tually taken place? Why not try to pre-
vent an explosion? The material for
bloody revolution in Havana is gathered
there. A chance shot or a street brawi
may set it off. General Blanco might eS-
ert himself to the utmost to preserve order
only to find himself powerless and in as
great danger from personal violence as
any man in the city. Can anybody doubt
how shining a mark American life and
property would be at such time, or with
what zest a frenzied Spanish mob would
vent it's rage against a nationality which
In it's ignorance 1t has been taught to
revie and despise? Are We to delay ac-
ton in this case, as in that of the recon-
centrados, until it is too late to help those

Library Facilities.

Elsewhere in The Star is printed the sub
stance of the argument for a maintenance
appropriation to sustain the free public Ii
brary of the District of Columbia.
In the matter of supplying the capital
with circulating library facilities Congress
has been making progress crab-fashion.
The Gneagre and unsatisfactory circulat-
ing privileges enjoyed al the Congressional
Library deposit of the value of borrowed
books have been cut OFF, Up to date this
session the House appropriations commit
tee has refused to appropriate to open the
Congressional Library at night: has de-
clined to provide for a circulating depart
ment of the Congressional Library: has
eliminated appropriations for the depart
mental libraries; and has failed to provide
a maintenance appropriation for the free
public library.
1t appears that the appropriations COM
m3ttee has grand project, or is inclined to
believe that it will be disposed to favor
grand project of Librarian Young or of the
joint committee on the library by which
at some time the Congress- nal Library VIII
become circulating as well as reference
library, with which the miscellaneous de-
partnental libraries and the free public Ii
brary will be merged. 1t is consequently
understood that while these various appli-
cations for library facilities are now denied
in detail they are to be granted in their
entirety, with much in addition, under this
consolidation plan in the sweet bye and bye.
The House appropriations committee has
applied itself with avidity and celebrity to
the work of destruction necessary to clear
the ground for this imaginary consolidated
library structure. The public hopefully an
ticipates that like ability and promptness
will be displayed in the nobler and more
important labors Of construction.
There is the greater necessity of a speedy
testing of congressional sentiment on the
subject of a congressional circulating
library, for the reason that if such de-
partment is not to be created at this ses-
sion suitable maintenance for the free
public library should be provided by the
District bill in accordance with the Com
missioners' estimates.
This institution is furnishing so far as
public maintenance is concerned. Starva-
ton by non-support is just as fatal when
caused by excess of affection as when in
ficted by hate. This community hungry
for circulating library facilities, is denied
the bareback of a municipal library of
the present, because it is hoped that ii may
enjoy the plum pudding of a congressional
Circulating library in the future. The capt.
tai respectfully urges Congress to decide
at once the plum pudding question, in
order that the community may at least
nourish itself with library bareback.

Mr.. Wolcott's speech in the Senate yes
terday was an interesting contribution to
a most important subject, and it was
heard with the profound attention which
it so very well deserved. 1t will be read
abroad with as much respect here at
home, and it is certain to lead to a spirited
reopening everywhere of the whole ques-
ton to which it relates. Mr.. Wolcott mod
estly assumed to speak only for himself,
but it IS clear enough that his views are
shared by his associates Of the commits
sion, and that his speech in effect, will
serve as the commissions report of it's
labors.
Mr.. Wolcott makes two statements of
especial moment. The first is that for the
present, it will be useless to look to Great
Britain for any assistance in the effort to
bring about international agreement as
to bimetalism. That is undoubtedly dis
couraging. The general feeling has all
along been that the assistance of Great
Britain is essential to success. France,
who came to our aid while Mr.. Wolcott
and his associates were at work, made
her cooperation in the movement condi-
tional upon Great Britain's action. With
out Great Britain, therefore, we can no
longer count on France, and without
now are we 10 nope TO renew ne
gotiations SO as to attract the attention
of the other powers of Europe?
Mr.. Wolcott then announces his own
retirement from the commission. That
also is discouraging. 1t is not too much to
say that the Colorado senator's place on
the commission cannot easily be filled. He
carried himself in the negotiations last
year with very fine poise, and so as to
deserve and receive the highest respect of
men of both parties. The work he has
already done fits him above his fellows for
the work remaining to be DONE and the
cause of bimetalism will distinctly lose
if he cannot be persuaded to reconsider
his determination. His presence, his
thorough knowledge of the silver question:
his wide acquaintance now with the lead
ing statesmen abroad. all unite in equip
ping him as negotiator of the first value
for this cause which enlists his whole
sympathies.
Mr. Wolcott is not himself discouraged.
He still believes that bimetalism by in
ternational agreement may be brought
about regardless of Great Britain's pres
ent attitude. The President, he is salts
fled, is still DESTROYS of promoting the
movement to which the republican party
at ST. Louis SO unreservedIy committed it.
