Mr. Hale and the Beers.

The New York Tribune speaks of Mr.
Hales pro-Boer deliverance in the Senate
''impassiOned. The word is ill chosen
and misleading. The senior senator from
Maine is hardly capable of an imprisoned
speech any subject. He is a man of
calm temperament. proof alike against ex-
element or enthusiasm. If he raises his
voice occasionally above the pitch of con-
VcrSational tone it is only for the purpose
of meeting the emergency of noise in the
chamber. The Senate does not follow with
equal interest all of its members. But Mr..
Hal" may NOT ne betrayed into a passion.
Hts friendship for Senior de LONE and for
Spain probably developed him in his strong
est form a. speaker. but it led him al no
time into a passionate utterance. Even
when attempting to stay the hand stretched
out to put check on Weyler and Wey-
leri>rn in Cuba he was cool and entirely
himself
Moreover. a little examination of the
speech in questiun-if the people will only
take the troube-ShowS that Mr.. Hale was
IN Il patron!zing. rather passionate mood.
He was sorry for Queen Victoria. He
made no doubt that while publicly appear
ing To forward with fervor all support for
her arms in South Africa. she was often Sc
ctetiy on her knees praying that the ras
cally Vaccinations Of one or two of her
ministers might come to nothing. His heart
likewise went out To Lord Salisbury. who,
in his opinion. is but a weakling in Mr.
ChamberlainS hands. The English premier
in Mr.. Hales view, has no heart in the
present struggle. but with Others has been
drawn into it by a less scrupulous and
more forcefuI personality.
Mr. Hale is well qualified to harp upon
this string. He and those who held with
him in the matter of Cuba We're quite posi-
tive that this country was similarly dra-
gooned. Nobody cared about Cuba but
few American pirates. some of them
high in public office. who wanted to grab
the island. The Chamberlain of that en-
terprise was freely named in private con-
Versation. The United States was either
pitied or traduced as a big bully abusing
poor little power.
1t is unfair to Mr. Hale to represent him
in this business as an "impassioned'' cham
pion of the Beers. Those who know him
will not recognize him by such description
while those who do not know him. and by
chance may hear that he is Interested in
the South African struggle are entitled to
a discriminating statement as to the man
and his position.

The kanAas Lynchin&.

\ lynching occurred in Kansas the other
,Iay which reflects one of the worst phases
of this atrocious practice. The men killed
by the mob had been tried and convicted
Of murder and thereby condemned to death
The vengeance of the law for their crime
was assured in an orderly manner Had
the law been allowed to take it's course the
community would have been afforded an
object lesson of the tel rible effect of justice
well administered, surely bringing evil
doors to punishmen Mt. But the mob, heed
act and intent only upon the satisfaction of
a more personal vengeance than the law
affords proceeded TO destroy all the solem-
nifty of the orderly process and to commit
Il crime even more heinous than that of the
pair of murderers. For the crime of the
mob was against all society. not especially
against the two wretches who We're thus
than the courts had prescribed.
The evil effect of these departures from
the established line of justice is unfor-
tUnately most marked in those communities
where the restraint of law is most seriously
needed One lynching in Washington would
be- of course most deplorable but 1t would
not Immediately and of itself debauch the
public conscience or the general attitude of
the people toward the right course of adj
ministering justice. But let that one lynch

To be desired that Washington should grow
save by this steady. harmonious progress
outward. 1t would be unfortunate if the
law should check this growth and either
keep the pOpuia ton crowded within the old

far beyond reasonable radius into the
strictly agricultural sections. There is
room within the District for the great bulk
of the people who will come to make WASH

measure will soon be sent along to the
President in order that the work of open-

1t affects few interests and those are cared
for by the measure in as equitable a man
ner as the general principle laid down by
Congress in this matter of street extern
sions permits. Sixteenth street is required
TO allow a proper development of the area
lying Immediately east of the national park
ard its opening is prevented at present only
by few interests which would be injured
beyond repair by the exclusive policy of
donation. The owners of a greater part
OF the land required for the extension have
given freely from their holdings in order
to secure the establishment of this thor
Oughfare. and it is due to them as well as
to the citizens Of the whole District who are
sure to Use the new street when opened
that the slight yet obstructive deficiency i'll

Something to BE Thankful For.
From the New York Criterion

From the New York Criterion.
A cab driver in Washington has been
lined in the police courts for maintaining
an unsightly vehicle in the public service
This is the most signal thing the police
courts have done in many a long day, and
if it is only a beginning of more such
things to come there is every reason for
the prayers of a thoughtful public. A cru
SADIE against offenses on public sightliness
would be blessing, and there is no reason
at all why such efforts should be leveled at
cabs alone. Our streets are full of insight
ly things that are an outrage on public
taste, and the discovery of a law that
reaches the perpetrators of ugliness is in
deed something to be thankful for.

The Why to Settle Doubts.

From the Fourth Estate
The Washington Star has issued a sworn
detailed statement of its circulation for the
year 1899. From this it appears that the
daily average for the year was 81 ,242 copies.
Advertisers appreciate such a statement as
this, as it settles all doubt as to the ex-
tent of publicity given their announcements
If other newspapers would follow suit there
would be less quarreling about rates and
circulations.
