Mr.. Hanna's Illness,

The whole country will receive with anx-
iety and sorrow the announcement of Mr.
Hanna's physicians that he is suffering
from an attack of typhoid fever. and that
severe struggle is in prospect to save his
life. There are but few citizens who stand
conspicuously in the public view as Mr.
Hanna. few in whom the people take such
a direct personal interest few who have
within so short period developed so broad
ly upon national lines and so strongly in
public respect and confidence. He has gain
ed viewpoint from which he sees matters
in their largest aspect. and his removal
from the sphere of active citizenship would
be deplorable in the extreme. 1t is crafty
Ing to know that everything that medical
science can offer to the end of his rescue
from the danger which threatens him will
be at his service. The country will watch
the bulletins from his sick bed with intense
interest and sympathetic concern.

Cuba.

The ceremonies at Havana yesterday told
a story unique in history. They likewise
put to confusion a good many prophets.
We heard from many sources five years
ago that the United States would never
withdraw from Cuba. The situation, we
were told. would never make such thing
possible. 1t was too much to expect that
the Cubans would ever be able to manage
their own affairs. or that. in any circum-
stances. a strong power like the United
States once in control of such valuable ter
ritory would ever let go. The Cubans are
getting along excellently. and the United
States has let go. In an age denounced by
railers and pessimlsts as the most sodden
and commercial the world has ever known
there is performed an act without parallel
among nations for sympathy and unselfish-
ness. The greatest of republics. after heavy
sacrifices In blood and treasure. frees a
small neighbor from tyranny, and stands
by until the people are in full command of
their own interests. President Palmas ac-
acknowledgements for the Cuban people were
very gracefully expressed.

Two Crusades for Safe Theaters.

All other cities are curiously watching the
progress of the two widely different policies
which have been adopted by the mayors of
Chicago and New York in the matter of the
protection of the theater-goers from the fire
peril. Immediately after the Iroquois hor-
ror in the former city Mayor Harrison
doubtless Influenced to a great extent by
the public clamor which arose upon the dis
covery OF lax official inspection and the
general breaking Of the laws, ordered closed
forthwith every theater in the city save
the Auditorium. which alone of the number
passed inspection on every point of the law
Since then repeated efforts to secure relief
from this drastic course have failed save
to tho extent that the mayor dictated a
policy In the writing of new ordinances,
which. while somewhat lessening the Sc
verify of the conditions. nevertheless COM

Alterations are now In progress and pre-
sumably in time most of the closed houses

them that the laws would be enforced

projected continually on the fimsiest OF
bases could be laid bare through the opera
ton Of drastic laws, moneys which now are
swept into the pockets of the stock-jobbing
swindlers would be saved for use In legiti-
mate trade and business. The public is UNI
questionably becoming educated on this
subject, but 1t Is slow process, despite
the scandaious and far-reaching disclosures
Of such cases as the shipyard trust. The

aster. Certain specific requirements were
noted in each case and the managers went
their several ways and started at work OIL
the alterations. Yesterday the time limit
expired and 1t was found that only SIX pf
the whole number of play houses had moi
been brought up to standard. Orders were
at once given to these to close and with a
single exception were obeycd last night
In this excepted case there was misunder-
standing in regard to the order.
Thus New York has acc onplisksd in short
order by gentle means much more than Chi
cago gained through sever.y. The larger
city was lucky in that no disaster occurred
during the period of alteration 1t is OF
course a question whether the results as
they stand In New York are adequate. and
whether political influence has worked IL
behalf Of some Of the managers to secure
for them a special immunity. Only q thor
ough unofficial expert Investigate IN would
determine and meanwhile. pending such al
inquiry. which Is hardly to be expected. the
fair assumption is that in the face OF the
awful warning from Chicago no municipal
executive would now dare to take chances
with influence or wire-pulling in this matter
of the theaters.

Mr.. aorman,s Latest Issue.

HOPE springs eternal in the human breast.
Mr.. German is still experimenting with is
sues. His latest lead for favor is an attack
on the navy The government. he asserts.
is spending too much money on battle ships.
He would have the sum reduced, and the
| amount laid out in internal improvements,
rivers and harbors preferred.
Three things suggest themselves in con-
nec.ion with this recommendation. Mr..
German may be trying to repair the injury
he sustained in the south as the result of
his blunder in the canal matter. His atti-
tude toward the Panama treaty was both a
surprise and disappointment to the south
She was in rather an admiring mood to-
| ward him until he proposed to play politics
with project very dear to her heart. Can
he win her back by championing larger ap-
preparations for rivers and harbors? She
shares in such appropriations very liber-
ally. and they are very popular down
there.
Or Is this attack on the navy an express
sion of Mr.. Germans views on Imperialism?
He was opposed to the taking over of Porto
Rico and the Philippines, and 1t is not I'M
likely that his attitude toward the isthmian
canal Is in part shaped by desire not to
see the country's influence extended that
far south. One way to call US away from
the Islands we now control, and to put US
at disadvantage at Panama even with
the canal an accomplished fact, would be
to starve the navy, and render us helpless
or inefficient on the sea. All of our rivals
are strong, and getting stronger, afoat
and we must either keep up with the pro-
cession or drop behind. AS somebody said
the other day, the Monroe doctrine is just
as strong our ability at any time to as
sert 1t.
Or is Mr.. German convert to Tolstoy-
ism? Has he decided to bid against Mr..
Bryan for the support of the Peace Socie-
ties? Mr.. Bryan is saying that moral
issues are greater than fighting ships, and
Mr.. German likens the President to Napo-
leon. Does he, In effect, mean to offer, in
case of election President to disarm the
country, sell all our fighting machines to
fighting powers. put our spears and swords
on the anvil and beat them out of their
present shapes. and announce to the world
that in future all of our disputes will be
settled at The Hague?
Mr.. German will find that. again. he has
mistaken the souths temper. While she
wants her rivers and harbors improved she
has no desire to skimp the navy, or to
force by any means. the withdrawal of
American sovereignty away from where 1t
is now established beyond seas In sup
porting the isthmian canal she realizes
fully what that project carries with it.
