Cuba.

Tha suggestion that the question of Gu
ban reciprocity go over until next winter is
unworthy of the occasion. 1t smacks of
politics and of very small politics. 1t is
not such i proposition as should come from
any member of a party whose record in
thu main is one of courage and capacity.
The party now in power and responsible
for legislation has in the past five years
met several emergencies in highly success
full fashion. The tariff issue. the money
issue. the expansion issue have all pre-
ssTted themselves. and all have been dealt
with boldly and acceptably- Temporizing
would have been disastrous in either case.
The opposite course was chosen. and the
T, suits have rewarded the judgment shown.
Why not tackle and dispose of this Cuban
question in the same spirit?
In comparison with the other questions
mentioned this Cuban question is small.
Why this straining at a gnat? The an
swers - far given are wholly untenable.
Snlicitude for the beet sugar interests be-
comes exceedingly suspicious when the sta
tistics and beet sugar admissions show that
those interests are in no sort Of peril. They
are thriving. and will continue TO thrive SO
far a. the competition of Cuban sugar is
concerned. Special championship of protec-
ton is farcical when it is considered that
MIR Mckinley advocated the terms proposed
with Cuba. II he was not a prOtectionist
and a good judge of the application of that
policy. where may We turn to find one? II
he were alive today he would be urging. as
MIR. Roosevelt is doing, the closest CONNER
c:al bonds between the United States and
Cuba. and feel that in doing so he was
serving the interests of both countries
BY repeating to Congress his recommends
items in the case of Cuba the President
performed service to himself as well as to
the country. a timid man. or one figuring
on personal comfort. would have contented
himself with his reference to the subject in
hiS annual message. Mr.. Roosevelt how
ever. took the other view of matters He
considered it his duty, as indeed it was to
exert himself in behalf of action by Con-
greaS. and so returned to the subject in a
message which emphasized it in both its
business and its moral aspects Shall he be
defeated by a small faction of his party

opposition party? And if he is defeated

The Virginia Suffrage.

The Lynchburg News is trife out of
patience with The Star because Of recent
deliverance on the subject of the Virginia
constitution. The Star expressed the opin-
ion that as Virginia had, by methods avow-
eddy revolutionary, reduced her voting
strength by many thousands. in violation
OF the spirit of the Constitution of the
United States. she should pay the penalty
prescribed by that instrument and be rated
properly in the national House of Repre-
sentatives and in the electoral college. The
News indorses the wholesale disfranchise-
ment of the negroes in Virginia. as also
the action of the convention in proclaiming
the constitution instead of submitting it to
the people according to a solemn promise
so to do and propounds this inquiry: Now
what is The Star going to do about it,
This, it will be remembered. was the ques-
ton propounded by William NJ. Tweed
after he had violated the laws of the state
of New York. But to answer the esteemed
News. The Star isn't going to do anything
about 1t. The Star has no power in the
premises. In time, however. public senti-
ment will require that something be done,
not in the spirit of Furnishing the south, but
in that of having intelligence as the basis
of national rule. The south in the man.
agement of her local affairs eliminates the
ignorance within her borders on race lines
and yet insists on including 1t in making up
her power in voting national questions
and national candidates. That is neither
fair. nor logical, nor constitutional. Nor
does the News defend 1t on either of those
grounds
AS a parting shot the News delivers this:
THE Star may quiet its approximations
and take time to reflect the incon-
sistency of refusing civil rights to the Fill
plnoS while insisting on bestowng full citi-
zenshp on emancipated negroes"
Suppose We turn this about, and suggest
that before the Constitution be made to fol-
low the flag to the Philippines it be thor
oughly respected in the United States. How
stands the News that proposition? When
the News wants to score on Philippine mat
ters it is great champion of the Constitu-
ton. When it is seeking partisan advantage
here at home its attitude toward the Con-
stitution suggests that of the late William
H Vanderbilt toward the public. The pub
lie said Mr.. Vanderbilt on one occasion.
be id Or is the News a follower of
the Hon. Timothy Campbell OF New York,
who on another occasion asked. What is
the Constitution between frien1s?'

The Hoar Resolution.
Of 1904?

everything points to adjournment of
Congress well within six weeks The date
OF the closing may be as early as the
middle of Jdly or even Immediately after
the hrst Of the fiscal year. There is urgent
reason therefore. for the friends of the
project TO change the date of the inaugura-
ton 10 move energeticaIiy in order to Sc
cure action by the House Judiciary COM
mIttee and by the House itself if Dossihle
before the gavel falls. The Hoar amend
ment or some form of substitute should he
adopted by both houses at the present ses-
sion fo>tpOr ement until next winter would
not only involve danger of failure through
lack of time. but would also possibly pre-
vent the sufficient ratification of the meas
urc if passed by Congress by the state leg
iSiaturtS in season for the next Inaugural

The matter is by no means so involved
as I" prevent intelligent consideration and
decisive acUicn. If a way cannot be found
to secure consent OF both houses TO a
scheme for the shifting Of the date of Con-
gross meeting, that matter should be rele-
gated 10 the future while the compara-
lively simple Inauguration date question
Is settled The latter probe m involves only
the decision Of whether or not it l. wise

Life-Giving Rain.

The vtalzing influence of a good rain
was shown yesterday and last night. The
water which fell from the clouds for sew
eral hours not only refreshed the parchcd
ground. but cleaned the atmosphere so
that this morning the air was sparkling
and invigorating. The air in a close room
occupied by people soon becomes vitated
and impure. Just the air surrounding a
city, even though blown to and fro by the
winds, loses its freshness in the absence
of rain The most striking example of
natures purifying process occurs when
electrical storms burst over a city after a
hot sitting day. The air is washed by the
lain and cooled by the fresh winds and it
is changed somewhat in character by the
electrical discharges. Scientists have de-
tected the presence of ozone. a gas imme-
diately after thunder storm and some
times even lay noses can smell it, so
strongly does it denote it's presence This
element is greatly refreshing to the lungs
and more than the cooling process causes
the passing of a storm in midsummer to
be gratifying relief from the airs oppres-
sion. Yesterdays rain. while not accom-
panied by electrical discharges was never
theless of great value in washing the air
and cleaning the streets, 50 that Washing
ton today is city bathed and clothed in
fresh garments.

to the result. such exactness is no less than

marvellous.
Encouraged by the achievement railroad
men are already forecasting eighteen-hour
trains between the two cities, and even
that this time can be safely cut down to
sixteen hours. The results just attained
involve average speeds of mile in one
minute 13 4-18 seconds on the Central and
one minute IS 40 seconds on the Pennsyl-
yania. Yet doubtless the achievement of
the past two days will serve chiefly to whet
the appetite of the travelling public for fur
Their invasions of the record. =
Comparisons with the fastest trains in
service are now in order and while the
rival New York-Chicago trains are not at
the head of these in point of actual speed
average. they lead the world in point of
sustained performance. The fastest train
known today is the Sud Express" running
between Paris and Bayenne a distance of
1861 miles, at the rate of Sab miles an
hour. Next comes the Empire State Elk
press. on the Central between New Y ork
and Buffalo, a run of 40 miles al 53.;,5
miles. The East Coast Express on the
English Great Northern line runs 3D3k
miles at SOFT and the West Coast En-
press on the London and Northwestern
road. runs 4O1R miles at 501S. The per-
Torrance of the Centrals new Twentieth
Century Express over $50 miles at 40 miles
and the Pennsylvania pennsylvania Spe-
cial' over 912 miles at 1850 very closely
matches these as regards average speed
and far distances them as to actual work.
On some parts of the two lines between
New York and Chicago the speed records
of all the other leading expresses have just
been decidedly distanced
