Cleanliness in Restaurants

An Iowa man has brought suit against
the Keeper of a restaurant, contendine that
the food served him made him sick. One Of
the allegations of the plaintifr is that the
plate laid for him was not clean. What
vast question this opens up! How nicely
discriminating judge must be to decide
whether a restaurateur is too siovenly or a
customer too fastidious!

Must all restaurant keepers exclude rats
from the cellar. mice from the pantry and
ants from the sugar? Must a table cover
be banished because soup and gravy have
marred its chastity? Must the glass be OF
crystal clarity and the plate unsullied In its
virgin whiteness? Must there be no brown
chips at the edge of the cup and no Coffee

An Unnecessary Suggestion.

Governor Bates suggestion that the at
tentfon Of the British ambassador be called
to the Quincy incident in order. that ap-
propriate action may be taken by him is
really unnecessary. Mr.. Quincy himself
has called the ambassadors attention 10
the case in a manner to insure quite as
prompt and remedial action as any that
might be secured through official channels
The process is automatic. The offending
diplomat either yields to the laws and
submits to their penalties whenever he
breaks them, or he suffers a more severe
punishment by reason of his refusal to
submit. Ambassador Durand needs no hint
from the Department of State that it is
bad form for his assistants to break the
speed laws or any other laws of any of the
commemorative of this Union He knows
that his business as a diplomatic repre-
sentative of King Edward calls for the
services of young men of discretion and
good taste and tact. and, above ALL common
sense. 1t is rather to be regretted that
Governor Bates went SO far as to add this
paragraph to his report to the State De-
partment, for it was really not essential to
the work of reform that Mr.. Quincy him
self inaugurated.

interfere seriously with the concoYSse of
people on the plaza and with the formation
of the great procession. just in proportion
that it extended beyond the southern
boundary of the park. The tens of thou
sands of travellers who come to Washing
ton next March to see the President In
augurated will be to very great extent
discommoded by the demoralized state OF
the B. and o. railroad owing to the inter-
ference of the terminal work. 1t will be
deplorable If in addition to this discomfort
these people are confronted with the spec
tacle of the federal Capitol. the center OF
the national attention on inauguration day,
fanked by an ugly. open cut, however
screened by fences. Their impressions OF
Washington will not in such circumstances
be the pleasantest. .--.
OF course If there are distinctly good rea-
sons why the open-cut method IS regarded
by competent engineers as necessary to
insure reliable tunnel work. and If the
change can be accomplished without menac-
ing the public or private interests involved.
the necessity must rule the case, whether
the approval is granted finally by the Com
nissioners or by Congress or by both joint
ly or by the Commissioners and some au-
thorized representative of Congress. whose
decision is irrevocable.

Government-Built Warships.
From the New York Herald.

The efficiency that has characterized the
control and construction of the battle ship
Connecticut found yesterday a new illus
tration in her launching. No hitch marred
fine performance. Ship and occasion were
tributes to the skill of the navy personnel
and to the ability of the American mechan-
les who contributed so much to the sue
cess of the day.
When Congress ordered in the appropria-
ton bill of 1902 one battle ship to be built
In navy yard some vexatious doubt was
expressed over the wisdom of provision
that demanded much as an initiative
Even the Navy Department was disturbed
by the responsibility, mainly because 1t
feared the extra cost and the probable de-
lays that would ensue. Past experiences
had been discouraging. Still it was patent
that other sea powers were succeeding in
this field, though they must be hampered
In the same direction if not to the same
degree.
Luckily more courageous counsels pre-
lays have interviewed, despite the bitter
fight of certain sections of organized labor.
It is now officially stated that the Con-
necticut is quite up to the construction
rate of her sister ship, the Louisiana, which
was launched several weeks ago at mer-
camille yard that has had a lengthy and
creditable experience in this unusual class
of work. Nor is it probable that the cost
will be appreciably greater; but even should
the outlay be more. and unexpected de-
lays enter the effort will be justified by
every consideration of public policy.

residence near Dublin. What If this ex-

show the home rulers some American
tricks of party organization? What If he
should offer for parliament, by renouncing
his American citizenship and qualifying as
a British subject? 1t is hkelier. however,
that we shall see him again in this country
The greatest political rewards are here,

good political thing than Richard Croker.

Congress and the Open Cut.

Inasmuch as the proposed open cut for the
construction of the Capitol Hill tunnel
would encroach upon the property of the
United States, notably the entire eastern
front of the Capitol plaza, it is to be as
sumed that before Its final adoption the
matter will be laid before the members of
both houses of Congress. who have ex-
elusive Jurisdiction over their own front
yard. little more than nine weeks will
elapse before Congress meets and some con-
Vincing proof of the necessity of urgent
haste would seem to be required to call for
a decision before the houses assemble. If
there is any way by which canvass of the
members of the houses can be made in their
absence some time might be gained. II
there is any single official who is willing to
assume the responsibility of indorsing and
thus starting the project I'm the name of
oil Congress. the railroad company and its
contractors might be willing to run the risk
of being later put to the awkward necessity
of revision of the plans in case this off,
cial Is overruled. II the consent OF a repre-
sentative committee of each house can be
gained this risk will probably be lessened.
In any case. however. so far as the effect of
the open-cut project on the public reserva-
tons and buildings in the vicinity is in
volved. it will be just as well for somebody
TO ascertain before final action is taken the
likelihood of congressional approval or dis
approval of this departure from the ex-
pected method of tunnel making.
There can be no doubt of the disai-
vantage of having the eastern edge of the
Capitol grounds married by an open trench
during the Inauguration proceedings. How
ever securely 1t La fenced and however

George Frisbie Hoar.

Mr. Hoar has laid down his burden at a
ripe age, and leaves a name very greatly
respected. He served the country long and
well in the halls OF Congress. He took, and
held. high rank in both houses. He pos
sessed most generous equipment for
service in that arena. He was trained
lawyer, widely-read man on general
topics, a speaker and a writer of force

est moral courage. He was an honor to
his state, and will rank In history with
those men of sterling worth and large IN

auently honored with her commission at
this capital.
Mr.. Hoar's congressional life began In
the forty-first House. He was always
stout partisan, voting the ticket even
when not in full sympathy with his partys
candidates or its platforms. AS a member
of the electoral commission he Endorsed and
supported the Hayes case. Though not an
admirer of Mr.. Blaine. he supported him
for the presidency after his nomination IN
1884 Though an anti-imperialist,- whose
speeches on the subject of the Philippines
had given the democrats great pleasure and
encouragement, he voted for Mr.. Mckinley
in 1900 as Loyalty as he had done in 1895,
and had he lived he would have voted for
Theodore Roosevelt, Notwithstanding the
hid of the st. Louis convention for anti-im-
perialist support. He might differ with his
party about this thing or that, but as an
old enemy of slavery. and firm believer
In sound money and protection. he could
not be estranged at the polls from the faith

had lived, republican.
Mr.. Hoar was an ideal senator-dignified.
deliberate, diligent. conscientious and in

Mr.. Watson's Indisposition.

Here's hoping that the Hon. Tom Watson
has thoroughly regained his strength ana
resumes his canvass to stay. He has mace
an exceedingly Interesting start, and keyed
expectation up 20 high pitch. There are
many localities signing for the sound OF
his voice And with good reason. He Is a
man with a message, a program a way out,
and he talks up to his honest beliefs. He
has made sacrifices for opinions sake. Had
he whipped around as promptly as some
other southern populists did when the crest
of that wave broke in the early nineties,
and Struggled up to the democracy again,
he probably would never have lost a day
from office. He showed good debating
power in the House. and should have been
kept there. But the choice was between
populism and his office, and he held on to
the former.
The question suggests itself, however.
why has Mr. Watson been wasting his valu-
able time on Texas and Mississippi and
Alabama? There are as many birds in last
years nests opportunities In that part of
the country at present for spreading popu-
lism. This is not the time for attempt
ing a revival of old issues in the south.
new deal is on down there, and until the
game is over things are fixed. Mr.. Watson
should wait until after November so far as
the south is concerned. If Judge Parker is
defeated then the south may listen to a
new proposition.
And in that event, as The Star some time
ago pointed out, nothing is more likely
than that Mr.. Watson will find himself
bidding against Mr.. Bryan for leadership.
The Nebraskan accepted the lecturing of
the southern men at ST. Louis in good part
He turned away some of their wrath with
soft words. Senator Daniel Senator Till
man, and John Sharp Williams were rather
pointed in their remarks about harmony,
and Senator Bailey was quoted as anxious
to take a fall out of Mr. Bryan about the
dictatorial spirit the latter was showing.
To all alike Mr.. Bryan was suave, and
took his medicine" as the phrase Is. like
a little man And to the south he'll turn
again, with his smile and his eloquence, as
soon as he starts in on the new crusade he
has already announced.
1t should be a pretty contest. What Mr..
Watson lacks in girth he makes up in gray
matter, and he has the advantage of Mr.
Bryan in the possession of a vein of min
gled satire and hunor.

Fighting at Mukden.

A report that severe fighting has begun in
front of Mukden is received today from
two sources. indicating. if reliable. that the
Japanese commanders have at last per-
fected their arrangements for continuing
the sharply aggressive campaign that has
thus far resulted successfully. The Rus
sian army reached Mukden after the flight
from Liaoyang severely broken and with a
heavy loss of guns ammunition and stores
The japanese. too. were unquestionably
much weakened by their repeated attacks
and their hasty movements in pursuit of
the stubbornly fighting foe. Both sides
needed to recuperate. The capture of Da
pass was the first sign of a serious Jap
anese movement. With characteristic per-
sistence the Japanese have cloaked their
operations in a dense secrecy which may
cover important developments 1t is
Japan's policy to drive the Russian army
as far north as possible before the cold
weather begins As the crow flies, Hardin
is a little more than 800 miles north of
Mukden. the latter city being a little less
than 80 miles from Port Arthur by air
line There are between Hardin and Muk-
den three obvious points of rest for an
army retiring northward at Tie Pass
about thirty-fve miles north of Mukden at
Chanchun, half way to Hardin, and at
MuJu about three-fourths of the distance.
The general expectation is that the Jap
>anese Will strike at Tie Pass before or at
The same time that they deliver a general
assault upon Mukden, hoping thus to pre-
vent a concentration of the Russians at
that point. Unless the fighting reported
today from Mukden is of minor character
IN the nature of skirmishing to develop
positions and strength. it may be that a
general engagement is at hand as impor-
tant in character as that which resulted in
the flight of the Russian army from Lao
yang.
