just at present obtainable. Three men
in this country have become notable in
this country's experiments in colonial
ton, Secretary Taft, General Leonard
Wood and Judge Magoon any Of them
only the latter is available for Cuba.
Secretary Taft whose heart IS with the
Philippines feared that by appointing
Judge Magoon to Cuba the Philippines
for which he was slated would suffer
and consequently he urges that some
one else should be found for Cuba. Sec
rotary Root interviewed with the Presi-
dent and convinced him that the situa-
ton in Cuba was more critical than
that in the Philippines and so it was de-
cided that Judge Magoon should succeed
Secretary Taft at Havana. The work
before him in this island is likely to be
as difficult and thankless as that mapped
out for any man. While Panama was a
problem when Judge Magoon took
charge there it was a simple one to the
one he will now undertake and his sue
cess even with the talents he brings to
the work is not by any means assured
but his appointment seems to be highly
acceptable to Cuba, and the President
and people here believe that the same
qualities of patience, honesty, sympa-
thy and insight which accomplished so
much in Panama will hot be entirely
wasted on the distracted Island.

Sunday, costly errors being less con

Rock Island out of a winning run in

first as Swain was crossing the plate.
But it was an easy thing TO do and

A BIT OF MUSICAL HISTORY
Story Of Origin and Work of Illinois

The organization of the Illinois Mu-
sic Teachers association took place in
Chicago during the winter of 1861.
The preliminary meetings were held in
the warerOoms of the w. W. Kimball
company, then located on State street.
The call was issued by DIR. II. S. Per

Thomas Dixon, Jr., whose play has
and which is to be produced at the

of the Tri-City Press club says of the
situation that gave birth to the Clan:
During this (the reconstruction

negro troops, answerable to no author
ity save the savage instincts of their
officers, terrorized the state, and not
a single white man was allowed to
bear arms. HordeS of former children,

the instincts of savages, armed with
modern rifles. paraded daily before

would inevitably have sunk to its

And although from these statements
from DR.. Dixon's description of what
the nation owes to the Clan" we
might expect play that would in

that THE Clansman' will be fair to

Mr.. BRYAN In London

The London correspondent of the New
York Tribune sends this information:
Mr. Bryan is expected TO arrive In Lon
don from Norway on Independence day
and deliver a long speech at the American
dinner 1t has been carefully prepared
aud fully written out for early transmits
sion to New York. Those who have read
the speech explain that 1t does not con-
tain a word about the silver question, but
discusses fully the moral obligation of the
white mans burden In the Philippines with
greater breadth OF view than he has pre-
vioasly shown. There will be a record at
tendance at this dinner owing to the curt
osity respecting Mr.. Bryan's oratory and
the unusually large number OF Americans
in London"
II this news is correct those who have
been expecting from Mr.. Bryan a keynote
from London for the congressional cam
paigns will be disappointed. There is not
House OF Representatives in any phase
of the Philippine question. That Mr.,
Bryan should be thinking of 1t is natural
enough. He has recently visited the archi-
pelago and looked into matters at first
hand. and then has been In India CHANGING
at British rule there. The white mans

letter deals with the British In India, and
he does not spare them or their perform

july 9. 1881.

Twenty-Five years ago today, pistol shots
rang out In the Sixth street railroad sta
ton while President Garfield and Secretary
Blaine were on their way 10 board a train
for the north and the President fell with a
wound in his back. The shots were fired
by Charles J. Guiteau, an eccentric charac-
ter who had been hanging around Wash
ington for some time previous. The news Of
the crime spread with lightning rapidly
and in a short time all Washington was
boiling with excitement and Indignation.
The day was hot Rumors ran like wildfre
through the capital, but a constant success
sion OF extra editions OF The Star soon
stated the case in its exact terms and al
layed the apprehensiOns of a more extended
crime. Those who were in the city on that
day well remember the anxiety with which
great crowds stood outside of the White
House fence and awaited the news from
the bedside of the stricken President The
crime was so shockingly sudden. so I'M
warranted by any strain of public excite
ment, so mysterious as to motive, that
the populace stood dazed for hours, intent
merely upon learning the chances OF the
chief executive to rally from the wound.
The picture of the dense throng awaiting
in respectful silence the issue of the bulle-
tins from the physicians will long remain
IN the mind.

In the column devoted TO the news of the
District National Guard. printed yesterday,

"a company commander reports that a

The offieer adds that In some OF the states
IL Is an onense punishable by fine and I'm

National Guard who responds to any call
for military service"
II IL pity that such law as this off,
Ger mentions Is not in force in the District
or Columbia. For years the public-spirited
and far-seeing business men OF this COM

Mr.. Roosevelt Is Tired.

The President Is tired, and frankly con-
fesses II. There is no record OF a similar
confession by him. and hence this one is
worth notice. Let us set the credit down
for credit It is-to Congress. It was
Congress that kept him busy and taxed
his remarkable endurance. There were
numerous differences. and even greater
number OF conferences. Seven months Of
strenuous work. with both sides watching
the corners, at last told on both. The
President confesses. and Congress could
truthfully have done so. Congress I'M
doubtedly was tired. 1t is true then that
there IS 4 limit to the Presidents ca
pacity for hard and continuous work He
has great Physical strength and hearty
love Of battle. and he taxes both at times
unduly. As he realizes that he needs a
rest. he will probably take a good one.
and be refreshed by next winter for an
other tussle with public affairs.

the man who dismissed his helper merely
for asking to be given sufficient leave to at
tend the camp at Mt. Gretna- This mans
offense was doubly discreditable. He gave
the guardsman no chance to withdraw his
request for leave, but practically dismissed
him because he was a member OF the
militia organization. Thus he not only
failed to help. but he positively injured the
national guard system by his conduct.
The new militia bill, Just passed by Con-
gress. makes no provision to cover such
cases. 1t should be amended next winter
by a supplementary act which puts the
proper responsibility upon all employers of
men In the District and guarantees every
man a full chance to meet his obligations
as guardsman The statutes governing
the militia organization should be as near
y perfect In this District as it is possible
to make them, and obviously no system is
perfect that permits such gross injustice as
the dismissal from his employment of a
man who recognizes his own duty to the
and tries to render himself more service
able by attending the drills and encamp-
ments.
No man can foretell when the militia
force will be needed to queH riot or to
resist an invasion or to maintain order at
a time OF great public excitement or to
save life In case OF widespread disaster.
Such emergencies come unheralded and I'M
expectedly. And when they come the life
and the property of every citizen, without
discrimination and without favor, are in
danger and salvation may depend upon
these very men whose employers are today
showing unwillingness to contribute to the
efficiency of the National Guard
