Resuming ReIations With Spain.

Ihls government is proceeding with praise
worthy diligence in re-establishing diplo-
matte relations with Spain. The designa-
tion of BeIamy Storer as minister at Mad
rld, following Immediately upon the proc a.
nation OF peace by the President. is the
nrst step toward complete restoration of
the International conditions which We're in
tefrupted by the war. As The Star pointed
out yesterday, the official view of the war is
that IT began with the dismissal of the
American minister from Madrid following

from Washington Thus it is most appro-
pirate that the formal termination of the

spirit with an equal degree of readiness
and that within d very short time all traces

mission Is worthy of entire commendation.

Street Railway Waxes

Aside from the item of public convenience
there is reason to welcome the movement
now under way in this District to rehabli-
tate the broken-down street car lines and
10 establish them upon a modern basis
both as to equipment and as to corporate
organization. For many months the en-
ployes or these lines have been receiving
pitifully low wages. On the CITY and Su
burban line. formerly the lexington. the
conductors and drivers receive 81 90 a dav
and owing to the demoralized condition of
the line they can make on an average only
a few days each week. Sometimes they
/ complete the week with less than So to
their credit. The employees of the old Ana
costa line, now merged with the Belt
were at least until very recently paid even
more poorly-some of them getting only 90
cents day-and suffering in some cases
the same handicap as to the weeks total
The controversy over the wages of the
Belt railway employees while that road was
in the hands of a receiver is a matter of
familiar record and conditions are now only
slightly improved.
Inasmuch these properties have been
under cloud for long time, having been
wrecked by bad management and a Stub
born refusal by former owners to comply
with the wishes of the public and the au-
thorities. and in view of the reformation
which promises better mechanical service
and more organized system of mainten-
ance and operation, the public has not been
inclined to demand that the wage scale be
readjusted. But now the roads are in new
hands and will soon be IL they are not now
on paying basis. The reorganized cor
porations will serve the people best if in
addition to providing satisfactory rapid
transit they will pay their men decent, liv-
ing wages with fair conditions of service

Reliance Upon the President.

From the Boston Globe.
Controller TracewelPs decision that the
so-called civil service law isn't law at ALL
but simply series of executive regulations
appears to be sustained by Attorney Gen
eral Griggs. 1t means practically that a
system of procedure in appointment to Of
flee which one President has favored is no,
binding upon any succeeding President, and
that If gentlemen wish the present system
to continue they must rely, not upon prece-
dent, but upon personal appeal to Mr.. Nc
Kinley.
1t is scarcely necessary that jealous main.
tainers of civil service reform at Washing
ton should have the twitters over the pos
sibilities of the situation, however Mr. Nc
kinley has gone on record in favor of civil
service. Although he may tacitly permit
the heads of few departments to run ap-
pointments in manner not strictly In ac-
cordance with the Dorman B. Eaton edition
of the civil service Hoyle, he can at least
be trusted not to throw over the merit

and emphatic Endorsement at his hands

stances IN the different provinces in mat
ters OF minor consequence, but in larger
matters. as in the policy of dealing with
the Cuban army. of refraining from car

sitions and of utilizing Cubans for these
positions as far as possible, and of correct
ing the evils of Spanish law and admins

prevail throughout the island. And those
features should be distinctly American The
Cuban or the Spaniard travelling from one
city to another should have presented to
him wherever he goes as faithful a picture
as possible of the new order of things. and
so be educated at once into an understand
ing of what the change means.
There seems TO b an idea in some quar-
Evening star., 1899-04-12

ters that nothing should be changed in
Cuba but the officials: that Spanish regula-
| tions and customs should not be disturbed,
but only that Cubans be put in Office to
execute them- Little can be done for Cuba
on that line. Spain has left no perma-
nent foundations there upon which a
superstructure of good and free gov
ernment can be reared. The whole
Spanish system should be replaced grad
ually and cautiously, but at the same
time as rapidly possible. 1t all worked
for oppression and evil. 1t can have small
place in any permanent plan for the bet
terment of the island, but should give way
to a plan wholly of American design. 1t is
just as necessary that the foulness in the
administration of the courts and in the levy
ing and collection and disbursement of the
revenues be abated that the cities be
cleaned up and the health of the people pro-
tected.
All OF this is necessary, whether Ameri-
can occupation is to be short or long tenn
porary or permanent. The only free gov
eminent possible in Cuba must be fash
ioned after the American model. The Gu
bans have studied our institutions and have
constantly expressed desire to COPY them
for their own benefit. Should they essay a
government of their own in the near future
we will have started them off in good style
Should they decide, after careful examina-
ton, that annexation to the United States
would profit them more and ask for it, we
will then simply have begun what is in our
own interests. and what must be continued
in the same line. In either event, in any
event, the new government in Cuba must,
IN order that Cuba may have peace and
prosperity, be little like the Spanish
model and as much like the American model
as possible.

Gen. Skaters Testimony.

| were there any reason for haste in the
| pursuit of the army beef inquiry it would
| nave been an entire waste of time to put
Cen Shafter on the stand, as was done
yesterday, in the light of the testimony
which he gave. Summed up, his contribu-
| ton to the courts knowledge was that he
| heard no complaints against the beef ra-
| ton. that the beef-canned and refriger-
ated-issued to and eaten by him was of
good quality. and that under the condi-
| tlons it would have been impracticabIe
| to supply the army in Cuba with beef on
the hoof. The first item can carry no
weight in the general consideration of the
evidence, for Notwithstanding Gen Shaf-
ter ignorance of the matter it is proved
beyond the shadow of a doubt that there
were complaints by the men and by their
officers against the beef ration and that
these complaints were on.y too well
founded. Nor will the second item go far
toward rehabilitating the army beef supply
IN the estimation of the country. lit Is
altogether absurd to suppose that bad beef
would be issued to the commander-in-chief
of the army in the field. Human nature
prescribes that the man of supreme author
ity shall have the best that goes There
is no one to complain that Gen. Shafter
ate only good canned beef and sweet re-
frigerated beef. 1t was important that he
should be well fed and that his health
should be preserved during the rigors of
the Cuban climate. Upon him depended
many lives and primary responsibility for
the success of the campaign. OF course he
had good meat to eat.
But the country wants to hear more on
the third point brought out by Gen. Shafter
IN his testimony. He said, in answer to a
question:
We did not have a cattle ship and it
was impracticable to carry cattle to Cuba
Do you think if there had been a good
cattle ship it would have been practicable
to have taken cattle?' said Major Lee.
A great many things are possible, but
impracticable.' said Gen. Shafter. 1T was
out OF the question to carry cattle along
with the army under the conditions then
existing"
1t has never been clearly enough ex-
plained why it was ''out of the question
to send cattle along with the army. Cuba
is close at hand. The ports of the United
States are we'll filled with cattle ships. The
Santiago campaign was in the form of
siege, with the army covering but little
ground and likely to remain practically
stationary for long period. As regards
transportation it would seem to the lay
mind that IL would have been compare
lively easy to ship cattle in abundance to
Cuba. 1t becomes important that some
explanation be advanced as to just what
were these conditions which have been
from time to time suggested as preventing
the use of beef on the hoof. The force
has all gone out of glittering generalities
and the public wants specifications, espe-
cially in view of the fact that evidence is
on file to show that ample offers were made
to the commissary general by cattlemen to
put sufficient herds in Cuba for a fair price

trusted to them. They are hourly placed
in positions of great responsibility and dam
ger. 1t Is to the best interest of the cor
porations to pay such rates as will en-
able them to secure the services of intelli-
gent, reliable men. Congress has insured
the payment in the future to the street
sweepers of a higher rate of wage than pre-
walls now 1t may not lie within the prov
ince of that body to enact similar regula-
tfons as to the wages of the street railway
men. Yet an effort to secure such action
would surely be sustained by an intelligent
public sentiment in view of the character
OF these properties as semi-public corpora
tons. in enjoyment of the use of the
streets.
