1t is gratifying to learn from the manage
ment of the new street railway syndicate
that the work of equipDing the Ancostia
line will be started next Monday. When
this enterprise is completed over all the
branches of the line the horse cars will dis
appear from the streets of Washington, it is
to be hoped forever There has been con-
siderable delay in equipping these lines
with electrical power due first to the dnan-
cial embarraSsmentS of the companies
formerly owning them and later to the glut
of orders a the iron mills. 1t was wise
policy for the company to wait until SUI
fcient quantity of material Was received to
ensure continuity of work before starting
the construction, for it is better to suffer
hOrse-Car service over unbroken streets and
continuous rails than to endure the same
service over disordered pavements and tenn
porary tracks With an abundance of ma
terial on hand the work ought to be finish
ed on at least the z street line before win
ter comes and it is to be presumed that the
energies Of the contractor will be exerted
to that end. 1t is indicative of the patience
Of the people of Washington in general
that they have endured the antiquated SER
vice on these lines now to be attacked, with
due consideration for the difficulties of the
owners. The fact that rapid transit of the
approved style was assured in the future
saved the situation from being intolerabIe
1t will be altogether appropriate If the clos
ing year of the century can be marked by
the emancipation of the capital from all
traces OF the horse cars and the complete
installation of the finest equipment of cleo
trical railroads enjoyed by any city in the
world.

statement recently made in these columns
to the effect that the appearance Of q Pms

country and abroad as an expression of

The statement is justly open to no uues-

1853. England and France sympathized

pected of an intention to recognize the
southern confederacy. That meant war

Senator Hayward of Nebraska, in an in
terview with a representative of The Star
Yesterday said among other things:
Mr.. Cleveland is said to have written
J. Sterling Morton that if the democrats
are beaten in Nebraska this fall 1t Will
mean the defeat of Bryan for the presiden-
tiaI nomination.
Mr. Cleveland putting out little leaflets
again? 1t was in this way that he inau-
gurated his campaign for the presidential
nomination in 1872 His letter writing in
the winter and spring Of that year was
voIuminous. Democrats in every section
of the country with weakness" for his
personality got one or more missives from
him on the subject of party harmony and
party duty. His friends took the hint. and
turning their eyes toward New York.where
he then resided. read the sign traced across
his ample width OF shoulder that he was
willin' And so they went to work. and
by the time Mr.. Whitney reached Chicago
with his black satcheI everything was in
order for putting the triumphant touch

And is Mr.. Cleveland willin again? I'm
dOubtedly. He is always willin. With re-
gard % standing for a presidential nomi-
IItion his motto Is, Always ready; never
tire" And as il Is the purpose of those
who train with him TO GUST Mr.. Bryan
and free silver, why should he not aspire
to leadership again? If the democratic
party abandons free silver it must put in
ITS place the policy of anti-expansion. and
for that policy Mr.. Cleveland stands more
conspicuously than any other man in the
party. He is the original anti-expanSiOn-
ist He was the first man among US to
take the ground that his countrymen had
lost their heads and had entered upon
career of spollation. In comparison with
him, Mr.. Atkinson Mr.. Hoar, Mr.. Reed
and Mr.. Mclean are misunderstanding tod
dlers. He needed no growth, but sprang
forth full grown and full armed If anti
expansion is to be the issue, therefore,
Mr.. Cleveland should be the candidate
But Mr.. Morton should remember hat
his must be a labor of love in this BUSH
ness He cannot hope otherwise to benc-
fit. Clevelandism, like virtue, is its own
reward. Most prominent among those who
brought Mr.. Cleveland into the field in
1872 were the men who had served in
lis cabinet when he occupied the White
House They worked like TroJans for their
friend and former chief. and probably hap
pier men never lived than they were after
they had succeeded. Were they disappofnt-
ed when he passed them by in the ar
rangements for his second term? We can
only guess, and consider the frailty of

changes with them. Alliances shift accord
ing to circumstances. England was our
friend. and apparently our only one among
the great powers, when we stood against
Spain. There is probably not a scrap of
paper In any European chancellery to show
It, but there Is excellent authority for be-
ltevtng that but for England Europe would
have interposed an objection to our inter-
ference in the case of Cuba. And certain
1t is, beyond all dispute, that had the fric-
ton in Manila bay resulted in an open
clash between the American ships and the
foreign visitors, the union jack would have
been ranged alongside the stars and stripes.
But the English commander there probably
had no written orders to that effect. In
taking such a step he would simply safely
have followed his own we'll what he
knew to be his country's sympathies.
As The Star stated in the article to which
its correspondent refers, the United States,
when in need, has always fortunately found
a friend indeed. 1t is not forgetful of any
service that has ever been rendered 1t; but
1t is slavishly bound by none. 1t is free to
take the hand in friendship of any power
today. In fact 1t is on friendly terms with

Mr.. Courtney was frequently interrupted
by his hearers. who, however remained
respectful throughout the harangue. At
its close. in accordance with the custom
vote of confidence In the member was re-
quested by the chairman of the meeting.
Immediately one of those present proposed
an amendment expressing regret that Mr..
Courtney should be at variance with the
government and proclaiming the entire con-
fidence of the people in Lord Salisbury
This amendment was adopted by a large
majority after which the audience sang
Rule Britannia
In the face of such a demonstration Il Is
probable that the liberals will proceed very
cautiously along any line of opposition they
may adopt individually or as a party. The
temper of the nation is unquestionably
aroused at present to such a point that it
would be the veriest folly for that party to
become identified with the policy of OBJ
struction. 1t is by means likely that,
as Editor Stead suggests, this sentiment
will cool by Christmas. Englishmen are
not weathercocks. shifting with every wind
Their record in Egypt and India does not
Justify the belief that they will take their
hands from the plow once the furrow is
started A party which should undertake
in such an emergency to fight campaign
on an anti-war issue would be smothered
in defeat. There is much the same spirit
in this country, SO much the same spirit
that it is remarkable that today any po-
litiCal leaders should have the temerity to
attempt to make political capital out of the
Philippine campaign. The fate of the de-
mOCracy during the years following the
civil war ought to be a sufficient warning
to all demagogues who now seek to es-
tablish themselves in office a platform
of withdrawal from the archipelago in the
face of public enemy.
Nevertheless there will be plenty of
COurtneys in the course of the campaign in
the states. Already one such has appeared
in Kansas. one Simpson by name, of some
repute. He was howled from the platform
when he sneered at the flag and it's status
in Luzon. The indignant people did not
stop to vote amendments to empty compli-
ments, but expressed their contempt for
the expressed treason vigorously and eff
fectively. These episodes, on both sides of
the ocean. may well be taken to heart by
Mr.. Atkinson. Senator Hoar, Senator Ma
son, Senator Hale, Mr.. Bryan and the
others of both parties who seek to establish
a new cult of anti-Americanism under one
name or another.

From the Utica Press.

According to Brig. Gen. Funston, the
most popular hero of the Philippine war,
the people who are opposing American
authority in these islands are incapable of
self government He says they are cum
ming, but treacherous, and practically with
out education 1t is his opinion, after Civ
ing the subject close study, that q firm
colonial government is necessary He
thinks, too. that energetic and enter
prisng campaign will soon bring them to
terms. Particularly interesting and sug-
gestive is his remark that the Filipinos
through their junta at Hong Kong are told
that a majority of the states here have
pronounced against the policy of the ad-
ministration and that the next general cleo
ton will result IN giving them their indie
pendence. Atkinson's circulars are doing
the business and there is ample warrant
for saying that without them the war in
the Philippines would have been finished
before this.

A Liberal Street RAILWAY Policy,

1t is the part of wisdom for the new street
railway syndicate to liberalize it's transfer
system, as announced in The Star yester-
day 1t was perhaps inevitable that there
should be some complaint at first, and that
1t should require experience to demonstrate
the opportunities to make the service most
fully conform to the proper desires of the
people. With the system elaborated to per-
nit legitimate transferring from line to
line, without regard to the matter of single
or double transfers, except to the extent
of checking obvious abuses of the transfer
principle, the citizens will enjoy the benefits
of consolidation without feeling any of its
embarrassmentS.

The Boer campaign thus far has been de-
c.dedly aggressive and the British forcas
have been forced to assume the defensive
al all points in the field of activity. This is
in contradiction Of the nature of the con-
fict foreshadowed by the negotiations
which have been marked from the outset
by Boer negations and British afirmations
II the burghers viewed hostflities as in

however, in overturning the traditions In
assuming the responsibility of declaring

the risks may be, for if ever they are to
gain an advantage 1t is now before the
British armies have been swelled TO their
full size
In carrying the war into the enemy's
country the Beers have invaded both Natal
and South BechuanaIand, respectively on
the southeast and the west of their own
territory. Their object In entering Natal is
obviously 10 secure possession of certain
towns there. to demOra!iZe the British
forces and perhaps to obtain control of the
port Of Durham. The Natal invasion is

expected that these two forces will CO.
operate in an effort TO roll up the British
army near Ladysmith. Should they sue

little to prevent them from advancing
upon Durham. Whether they could occupy
and hold that city is question to be an
swered only by events.
