The Annual Guard Camp.

Washington has been often declared to be
in the lead of the procession of American
cities in the matter of generous contribu-
ton to the national guard strength of the
country. Its representation in the militia
ranks has been assuredly most gratifying
at all times in the past. Its regiment in
the field during the war with Spain was
generally recognized as one of the finest
bodies of citizen soldiers from any state or
territory The time has now come for the
capital to maintain lis reputation for devo-
ton to this item of public duty by enabling
its guardsmen to turn out in large numbers
on the occasion of the annual encampment
at Leesburg, which begins tomorrow. That
the employers of the city will do their best
to permit a satisfactory muster is to be Gs-
sumed in view of the records of the past
years, which have displayed the fine public
spirit of the business men in recognizing
the value to every community of a we'll
drilled and disciplined guard and the need
of occasional encampnents. A hearty and
liberal response to the appeal of the com
handing general of the guard published
yesterday, will show that Washington has
lost nothing of its old-time interest in the
welfare of this excellent orga MIA tion but
that on the contrary the lessons of the war
with Spain have been well learned by the
community.

Lynchings in Cuba.

Recent happenings in Cuba Thoroughly
demonstrate the necessity Of present Ameri-
can control over the affairs of the island
pending the organization of the stable
government for which Congress declared
in its Resolution Of Intervention A Span
lard was lynched the other day by a band
OF irate Cubans as an act OF vengeance for
his deeds of cruelty practiced during the
days OF Spanish sovereignty. Now comes
word that the success OF this bloody ven
ture has aroused other groups of Cubans tn
the same inspiration. while Spaniards are
trembling IN fear of similar reprisaIs. 1t is
not to be believed that the American mil
itary authorities will permit this process of
revenge 20 proceed. for il is clear that
otherwise in very short time cuba would
he in ferment OF iawiessness and the pro-
cess OF instituting government would be
sadly checked.
II requires but slight exercise Of the
imagination to conceive the conditions
which might readily have resulted from the
submission OF the island solely to the de-
vices OF the people OF Cuba themselves i'm
mediately after the evacuation by Spain.
The history Of Cuba il punetuated by
stories Of vicious cruelty and terrorism and
tyranny on the part of Spaniards resident
there one does not have TO go far back TO
Ind instances. In the dying days OF Span
Tapacity and unrsstrained mastership came
10 hand to punctuate the plea of the
Cuoans for a release from their sufferings.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-06-07

1t was Only too evident that the average
Spaniard resident in the island regarded
the Cubans 4 natural prey for pillage.
outrage and pitiless inhumanity. 1t was all
IN keeping with the Spanish character and
with the Spanish record throughout the
West Indies and Central and South
America
The wounds inflicted upon a down-trod-
den people heal slowly During the days of
servithde or subsection they may not cause
outbreaks of vengeance save in rare in
stances. But when once the master hand
is Withdrawn and the former tyrants and
outragers have lost their power of enforc-
ing silence and submission. the natural
tendency of the long oppressed is to seek
redress with instructive means. 1t is in
deed a marvel that there have been no
more outbreaks of this spirit during the
months of American occupation. That the
spirit has at last broken loose however, is
a sign that it has only slumbered and that
a strong check must be put upon the pas
sions of the people 10 prevent wild times.
There is nothing so derogatory to the
Cubans in this spectacle of a lynching cul-
minating a series of wrongs that we are to
despair of their future. In fact. the pa
thence of the people under the temptation
to wreak vengeance for their sufferings is
a tribute to their character. We here in this
country are far from free to preach in gem
eTal condemnation. Our own records as TO
the disregard of law and the invocation of
mob rule are all too replete with much
worse exhibitions of popular rage. The
Cubans must. of course, be taught, as far
as It is possible. the lesson of self-restraint.
If we car not wholly enforce our statutes
in all of our states, we may perhaps at
least set our island ward upon the right
plane of government in season to keep the
outrages there at a minimum in the days to
come when the people shall hold the reins
in their own hand.
Meanwhile all right-minded Cubans will
doubtless perceive the wisdom of entrust-
ing the work of organization to capable
agencies equipped with the necessary mil
itary means to preserve order. The work
of constructing a public system out of the
wreck left by Spain and the decentralization
caused by the war may proceed slowly. and
the lapse Of months may cause Impotence
among those who have eagerly anticipated
the advent of insular independence. But
all things will work out in season. This
1ynching is perhaps a timely warming that
the duty of the United States is serious and
attended by grave responsibilities and that
the duty of the Cubans lies along the path
of implicit faith in the American guardian
ship which appears now so plainly impera-
tive.

The Proper Course to Pursue
-om the Chicago Journal

From the Chicago Journal
How much better 1t would be If the anti
expansionists, instead of lamenting and re-
pining and occasionally getting up a cop
perhead pamphlet to discourage the Ameri-
can troops and put hope into their enemies,
would just do as the democratic conferees
at ST. Louis did-accept the situation. And
it would be better yet If they would turn
TO and assist the creation of a healthy de-
mand that the American administration of
the affairs of the Philippine Islands be the
best it is possible to provide, in order that
the natives, for whom they profess such
soicitude, shall have the best possible gov
eminent and that American occupancy of
the islands may be a success instead of a
failure.
At present they are not doing that. They
are trying to create disaffectiou and ham
per the administration in every way posi-
BILE. Often intelligent and capable, able to
lead men and mold opinion. they have by
their public utterances put themselves
where they cannot be of assistance to the
government or the people. This is greatly
TO be deplored. They should do as the
democratic leaders have done-leave anti
expansion to the future.

GoSsIp About Nr. German.

Mr.. Depew is the latest public man to see
in Mr.. German possible nominee for
the presidency next year. He is quoted as
saying in an interview in London:
IF the democrats met today they would
nominate William Jennings Bryan as their
presidential candidate. On the other hand,
large factions OF democrats are anxious 10
rid themselves of the free silver burden,
and they are taking UP the anti-expansion
and antitrust cries. So It looks as if. by
the time the convention meets. they will
be ready for big political trade.
They will bargain to buy of free silver
by giving up the demand for big army
and navy. and will go before the country on
an anti-imperialSm, anti-CoTpUratiOn, So
cialistic and labor party basis If this oc-
ours there viii be another tremendous fight,
but the republicans will win. Such plat
form would mean the nomination of Mr..
German"
