America at the Coronation.

The opposition of a few newspapers and 4
few public men to the representation of
this government by special envoy at the
coronation ceremonies of King Edward
serves but to call attention to the pro-
priety and appropriateness of taking that
step. We hear the old buncombe again
that republic should not be found in such
company: that the fiummeries of monarchy
are repugnant to us, and that Uncle Sam In
the role of cOurtier is ridiculous. Let the
fUnction take place without further counte-
nance by us but the presence of Mr. Choate.
If he can spare the time that day to change

and walk across to the meeting place.

An Obvious IncOBeruity.

For the Senate District committee to re-
guire the District assessor to draft for it a
binding, non-avoidable personal tax law,
when the assessor, his predecessors and
the District in general have been for years
protesting against the principle and local
effect of personal taxes. involves an obvious
incongruity, that is doubtless personally
embarrassing to the assessor. The case is
suggested Of the country schooimaster who
sends out the refractory pupil to cut the
switch with which he Is to be whipped.
Or assuming that some option as to the
suggested terms of the law is involved in
requesting representatives of the District
to draft it, the incident is suggested of
the cook who consulted the turkey upon
its preference between chestnut and oyster

ENGLAND and Germany.

The controversy as to whether England or
Germany is the more cruel in warfare has
broken out again. For a time it was con-
fined to the newspapers of the two coun-
tries. and to all outsiders was a source of
entertainment. Then, In an unguarded mo-
ment Mr.. Chamberlain in a public speech
took IN the subject, and gave it a serious
turn And now, after several months.
Chancellor Won BuelOw replies to Mr..
Chamberlain. and a warm time is on As
the Germans bridled at Mr.. Chamberlain's
remarks. the English are bridling at those
OF the chancellor.
Why all the racket? Why grow heated
over a subject which lends itself so readily
to mere partisan exaggeration? Neither the
Germans nor the English flends in war.
Both rank with the best of modern fighters,
and both have war records of which they
are proud. Both have participated in some
bloody scenes. and both have had some ex-
ceedingly disagreeable work of that kind to
do. Both have done it pretty thoroughly.
But neither nation is in position to crook
it's finger at the other Besides. the two
nations friendly, and there are SO many
reasons why they should remain friendly, IL
is of the essence of folly for even their
sensational newspapers. much less their re-
SponSiDie statesmen, 10 De DdnuylnS epi-
thets across the channel
Mr. Chamberlain began it, and with little
reason. He had not hesitated to accept
full share of the responsibility for the war
in South Africa. and he should have been
proof against unofficial outside criticism.
No German editor had said severer things
about him, or the conduct of the British
arms in the Transyaal, than English editors
like Mr. Labouchere, and English men of
letters like Mr.. John Morley and Mr.. Fred
Crick Harrison, had said right under his
nose. Why ignore, as he had done, the
noisy men of his own race, and go for
those at a distance? 1t was bad politics
and bad diplomacy.
This is not to say that he should have
gone for his own eOuntrymen. That
would have been unwise also. We are hay

United States. There public men and

with respect for the presidency, and is
frequently mentioned now as the probable
runningmate on ticket with Mr.. Roose-
welt in 1904. He is popular at home, and
if he is to be defeated for return to the
Senate it can only be accomplished by the
most strenuous and wisely conducted cam
paign on the part OF his opponents
1t is easily to be seen how much VIC
tory over Mr.. Fairbanks would be worth
to the Indiana democrats. The state would
be lifted Immediately into consideration as
the best of fighting ground for 1901, and
the democratic leaders brought forward in
the speculation respecting national candi-
dates Play to secure the first place would
be fully authorized. anu If that missed.
play for second place would follow and
probably be successful. The democrat who
presented himself as the successor to Mr..
Fairbanks in the Senate would be between
March 4. 1908. and the meeting OF the next
democratic national convention, one of the
most conspicuous men in his party. His
chances for the presidential nomination
would. under adroit management, carry
odds of two to one.
Speechmaking in the east has it's charms,
but Mr.. Bryan would do well to give some
time to Indiana. 1t is greater state con-
sidered with respect to the next presiden-
tial race. than either Connecticut or Mas
sachusetls.

COn&reaa and Cuba.

The announcement that General Wood is
to appear before the ways and means COM
mittee next week when the Cuban question
IL taken up and explain the present condi-
| ton of affairs in the island as respects busi-
ness is of interest. He is familiar with the
situation. and he enjoys the confidence of
the Cuban people What he will say In
their behalf therefore will bear the stamp
both of knowledge and of authority.
1t is already known that General Wood
favorS relief for the Cubans as respects
the present crops of sugar and tobacco, and
permanent reciprocal arrangements which
will result in marketing the islands future
crops in the United States. His views are
similar to those of the President and Sec
rotary Root. He considers that we owe
good trading terms to the Cubans. and that
they may be negotiated with excellent ad-
vantage to our own interests. But just at
this time it will be of value to have him
state them at length to the committee of
Congress charged with dealing with the
subject. The committee will hear nobody
whose information is so thorough, or whose
opinions are of more value.
We are rapidly approaching the time when
we shall be called upon to give place in
Cuba to Cubas own authority. General
rama election as president has been fol-
lowed by better feeling on the part of his
opponents than for season seemed likely;
and the prospects now are for his most
successful induction into Office and a happy
and promising inauguration of Cuban indie
pendence. If at the same time Cuba should
be prosperous, with the cloud that now
hangs over her industrial prospects lifted,
the occasion will be one of far more than
local moment. The whole world will take
notice of the successful termination of our
stewardship in a matter which at the outset
was beset with a thousand difficulties.
We should not forget the many predic-
tons made here at home and abroad that
we would never withdraw from Cuba; that
We would trump up one excuse after an
other for remaining. until the Cubans ex-
hausted with the delays. and sick at heart
because of hopes deferred, would finally
yield. and abandon all plans for a govern
ment of their own. Those predictions will
be disproved under Mr.. Roosevelt as they
would have been under Mr.. Mckinley and
the faith plighted in the Teller resolution
be kept to the very letter.

The sixteenth street Extension.

In the course of a letter to The Star,
printed today, Mr.. Thomas Blagden of this
city criticises The Stars recent editorial on
the subject of Bankruptcy by Street Ex-
tensions as unfair in that ii mentioned
only the case of the extension Of Sixteenth
street and did not touch upon the extern
sions of Massachusetts, and Connecticut
avenues Mr.. Biagden's comments do not
weaken the position taken by The Star in
the course of that editorial. The Star was
deprecating the course of Congress in lay
ing upon the District all the burden of the
cost Of extending a thoroughfare like Six
teenth street, the latest in evidence, which
must be necessarily of a national rather
than a local character. 1t was pointed out
that in this instance the jury found only
Is per cent OF the cost chargeable as BEN
efits upon the adjacent land. leaving So per
cent to be borne by the whole District The
Star averred that simple justice would
have divided that burden in half, laying it
equally upon the District and the general
government, just as should have been done
in all of the street extensions of whatever
nature. Mr.. Blagden points to the fact
that very heavy contributions Of land were
made by the property owners along the
line of the extension, himself included in a
generous measure, and expresses his belief
that these citizens will never again, IL this
extension is defeated by delays and finan-

was decidedly against them Indiana was
long a democratic state, but when Mr.
Bryan came TO the front and made free

republicans took charge. They have been
in charge ever since. and are now in COM
plete charge. A republican governor. two

lican majority OF the delegation In the
House Of Representatives. and a republican
majority of the state legislature attest the
power of Organism as a disintegrating force

The effect of this change will be tested

Government Salaries.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The main objection of Ex-Governor Shaw
to accepting the office of Secretary Of the
Treasury was In it's salary of 5000 year.
Nearly If not quite the whole Of this would
go for house rent. to say nothing of the
other heavy expenditures for entertain
ments, etc, required by the position.
1t is not strange that Ex-Governor Shaw
should have hesitated. What is remarkable
is the fact that the salary of a cabinet
officer in Washington should be IS, 600 and
the salary of a commission in Manila
$4,000.

eia1 difficulties. engage in such an enter
prise. This very showing Of marked pri-
waite Hberality In the donation Of lands to
the government for street extension
strengthens The Stars argument that the
government should assume Its half of the
charge remaining after the people have
given their property and have been assessed
to the full amount Of the actual benefits.
Mr. Blagden's own public spirit displayed
in this connection should inspire Congress
to deal more justly with the community Of
which he is member.

Fancy and Reality.

The country lass delights to read
OF fashions giIded train;
Her hero is a noble youth;
She signs. and signs in vain.
But when a lordly specimen
She sees among the crowd
With monocle, and all the rest,
She giggles right out loud.
The lady fair of high degree
To shepherds turns her heart,
She fain would hear the echoes ring
Unto his carols smart.
But when she sees farmer boy
And hears his rustic lay,
She looks at him through lorgnette
And bids him run away.

ready to fight its enemies instead of its

The argument in favor of a permanent

no good argument against it. Congress will
do a much-needed piece of work by estab-

present temporary census establishment
and providing for the issuance Of its statis-
tics from time to time as they may be
needed.
