The Bowen-Loomis Charges.

not REQUIRED to give the charges which nave
been brought against him the aspect VI

men. They bore upon alleged ACTIONS
which It was almost impossible to at
,,bute 70 a diplomatic officer of the
Ir,itad States They lacked the plausibility

tions against responsible ofhcials 1hey
attacked the reputation of q man of estab-
ushed and unquestloned good repute. Inc
denial itself is sufficiently explicit and en-
bracing to Justify feeling of disbelief In
the public mind which will require positive
proof to dispel.
If the charges now filed with the Secre-
tary of State are true the assistant secre-
tary of state is guilty of conduct when OF
course calls for his immediate dismissal.
But on the other hand il they are not true.
and Minister Bowen has been an active
agent In the spread of the gossip In Vene-
zuela and elsewhere based upon them. he
has been guilty of conduct warranting his
condemnation as unfaithful to the trust I'M
posed in him. If they are untrue and Min
lister Bowen has merely brought them to
the attention of the government as matters
worthy of consideration. affecting the
status OIL the OHileu ia 'ShcIoOto'
the judgment upon his conduct will depend
upon the showing of facts as to the degree
OF enterprise and discretion he has dis
played in handling unfounded reports and
In putting this government in a way
promptly to clear itself OF unwarranted ac-
cusations.
BY his prompt and all-embracing denial
MIR. Loomis has thrown the entire burden
Of HI Srnv
ment has properly sent for Minister Bowen
to give him an opportunity to state his
case. to identify himself with or to separate
himself from the charges, to bring forward
testimony in relation to Them If he chooses
to adopt the former attitude, or proof of
his proper conduct If he does not accept
responsibility for them.
1t Is stated that in consequence Of the
reports In circulation In Venezuela and
other countries, growing out of these
charges. the American influence In South
America has already suffered, and will GER
tainly suffer to a greater extent unless the
truth is at once clearly established. This
is unfortunate result of what on the face
of the case appears to have been an I'M
warranted attack upon man who has oc-
cupied high positions without question as
to his entire integrity, personal and Of
fetal. 1t is especially unfortunate that this
complication should have arisen in the case
OF a government so peculiarly sensitive to
malign Influences Venezuela, and where
the task of the United States Is exception
ally difficult. In view of the relations be-
tween the two governments it was in the
last degree desirable that nothing should
have developed to cast the least doubt upon
either the probity of any of it's ministers
IN the past or the good judgment or good
faith of its present minister
To the end of clearing up this whole mat
ter the summoning of Minister Bowen to
Washington is a step of the first import
ance.

Two Pictures.

Look on the one, and then on the other
In st. Petersburg a hundred thousand SOL
diers are massed for the purpose of keeping
order. They are under the command Of an
official, Trepoff. who threatens to use them
unsparingly if challenged, and whose repu-
taton is that of man OF iron. The situa-
ton grows in large part out of a protest
by the people of the Russian capital against
the far eastern war. They are for peace
and would have 1t declared at once. They
are not against their country, but against
prolongation of struggle which Is drain
Ing Russia of blood and treasure to no good

eminent renewed support. The japanese
look upon their resistance to Russia as a
holy cause, and to man. they stand ready
to fight to the bitter end All that Japan
is and hopes to be rests, as they think,
upon success in the struggle in which they
are engaged. Is there room for wonder
that Russia has failed in the field and Japan
triumphed? Like citizens. like soldiers. The
heart of people must be enlisted before
cause can be won.

Germany and Reciprocity.

What say the standpatters to the notice
that Germany has served on US? Is our
German trade worth keeping? If 1t is we
know the terrls. We certainly cannot keep
1t as against favored rivals. We must
enter the market on the best basis possible
1t was situation like this that Mr. Nc
kinley had in mind when he delivered his
Buffalo speech. He was a far-seeing man.
and he knew the tariff from A to z, not
only as it affected our own market but all
markets He saw our surplus products in
creasng. and the necessity for disposing
OF them at a profit He saw also that as
other nations noticed our growth and ne
cessities they would impose trade c0ndi-
tons on us These he advised should be
met by means of reciprocity arrangements,
and he suggested that the time was ripe

Benefit Of a Rural Life.
FROM the Nashville Banner.

Fresh country air is wholesome and a
sovereign remedy for many of the ills that
affict the weary city dweller. The tendency
in this country has been too much to crowd
into the great cities, and many of the
poor of the slums and overtaxed tenements
would be greatly benefited If they could be
removed to the farms The magazines that
encourage the love of rural life are doing a
great work, and not the least feature of
their mission is the cultivation of the
aesthetic quality. They promote a love
for the beautiful in nature that will result
In the preservation of much of the natural
loneliness of the country that has been too
ruthiessly dealt with by the unappreciative
unitarian in the past.

Ftzhugh Lee.

Fitzhugh Lee served with distinction both
In civil and in military life. He was an
EXCELLENT all-round man. AS governor of
Virginia he gave the state a good admins
tration. He missed the United States Sem
ate by a narrow margin. At Havana he
gave to the office of consul general an inter-
national Importance, and at the time Of his
death managing with many promises
Of success the affairs of the jamestown
exposition. His people will grieve for him,
and the country at large will sincerely de-
plore the disappearance of so attractive
figure.
If General Lees official life in Cuba had
begun earlier, or If when 1t did begin he had
received better support at home, different
story about that island might have been
written. His predecessor was an old bureau
crat, immersed in routine. Business. and
business alone, occupied him. He had an
eye for nothing else. He would hardly
have known a revolution if he had met one
in the road with a tag on 1t. The result
was the sending of Gen. Lee. a trained SOL
der to the scene, after matters between
Spain and her colony had become very
much complicated, to investigate and re-
port.
He did his work thoroughly, and was in

diers intelligence the whole situation. He
saw things SO clearly and reported them so
correctly that he became persona non grata
to the Spanish authorities But things
moved at snal's pace here-so slowly that
he lost all patience with the dawdling and
was anxious to return home. He remained
to the end, and saw done at last what
should have been done long months before
Rut General Lee was first of all soldier
He had inherited his military talents and
temperament He was proud of the pro-
fession of arms, and rose to a high place
In 1t. The experience he had gathered as
an Indian fighter and a drillmaster in his
young manhood he employed later In the
cause of the confederacy, and as a cavalry
commander he ranked with Wheeler, and
Stuart, and Forrest, and Hampton. Brave
and bluff. energetic and resourceful. he was
much beloved by his men and highly re-
spected by his enemy.
The return of General Lee to military
command under the stars and stripes was
the subject of much hearty comment north
and south, and he deserved the praise be-
slowed upon him as an instrument in bring
ing north and south into closer communion
with each other than they had known for
half century. He played many parts. and
all of them well, and his place is secure
among the Virginians who have figured in
public affairs.

ject.
Well. manana will hardly do for Germany.
She is an alert business country, and wants
to hear from US without delay. We shall
have to give her an answer. and in doing so
we can well afford to take something like
a definite general stand to our foreign
trade. Protection. of course. will remain
the national policy but protection tempered
and assisted by reciprocity. That is the
Mckinley doctrine and for that matter
the Blaine and the Dingley doctrine.
And why should not Mr.. Aldrich return

ton bearing on this subject? His itinerary

bia In behalf of a philanthropic enterprise
TWO years ago, at the celebration of the
hftfeth anniversary of Its organization, the
association announced to the public of
Washington its intention to erect a building
costing 100000, to accommodate the rapidly
growing work. All of this amount has been
subscribed. and there now remain but 500

ditionai gifts which have been made to the
raising OF a definite amount by private
subscription by the first of May, and the

pressed. With the completion of this sub
scription the association will own nearly
half million dollars worth of property.
without debt or incumbrance
This is truly record of which not alone
the association but all Washingtonians may
well be proud. 1t bespeaks the public spirit
of the business community and the gem
erosity of individuals. 1t attests to the ap-
probation by every one of the good work
that has been done by the Y NJ c. A. in
the District and the wholesome infiu-
ence which it exerts upon the younger gem
Grafton The cause appeals to all classes
of citizens, and The Star hopes and be-
lleves that the amount yet remaining to be
subscribed to round out the building and
furnishing fund will be fully met by mid

Overlooked.

When we're speaking CT heroes and trying
to frame
list to nscribe in the temple of fame.
Let's pause for a moment and join In a.
song
For the hero obscure who is lost in the
throng.
Perhaps meath a bushel his lamp struggles
dim;
Yet the world puts lot of dependence on
him
Who faces his duty, still scoring to shirk-
The man who says nothing. but just goes
to work.
His courage is not of the sort that may
win
Applause and reward in the battles fierce
din;
His hardship Is one that full many would
shun,
For its farewell to friends when there's
work to be done.
Its farewell to sunshine and farewell to
song,
The way Of endeavor is lonely and long.
Men must honor, though fools may dismiss
with smirk,
The man who says nothing, but just goes
to work.

A Moral Awakening.
From the indianapolis News

From the indianapolis News.
The American people are getting so moral
and are doing it so fast that they are in
danger of not recognizing themselves.
From all over the state hear of towns
In which there is not single saloon open
on Sunday or during the forbidden hours
on week days. Citizens who have never
before had any difficulty in getting their
favorite ''pizen" at any time now find the
problem beset with serious difficulties. In
Missouri, the situation is really pathetic.
Even St Louis has been shut up" and on
Sunday her thirsty citizens were forced to
cross The bridge in order to refresh them
selves. Strange as 1t may seem the in
