The Congress and Cuba.

We are not guileiess enough to look for
perfect candor on the part Of those in
trusted by the people with the tremendous
responsibility of administering the gov
erument In truth, if absolute candor were
practiced by the men in high place, we
doubt that the people would understand
its meaning. Hence, the public interests
probably are better subserved by harm
less cOncealments in ordinary matters of
administration than they would be if
maturing purposes and policies were
frankly proclaimed before they were exc

But it seems to US that the situation as
TO Cuba is 50 extraordinary, so unpre-
.cedented. and withal SO important both TO
Cuba and the United States. that the ad-
ministration ought to take the whole
American public into its confidence and
make frank avowal Of its intention. Po-
litiCal expediency caused a hating and
hesitating policy to be followed nj the in
ception of the present situation. That was
all right. The great body of the people
would have inGorsed a delay of armed
Intervention in Cuba until after the No
vember elections. It is not improbable
that the situation on the island would
have been no worse had the President not
ordered Secretary Taft to Havana 70

Many things have happened 10 bring

IMPROVING WASHINGTON.
NiggardIy Economy, Says PhiIa-
deIphia Paper, Would BE Foolish.

From the Philadelphia Bulletin.
TWO distinct movements are now under
way for the Improvement of the Capital
City Of this republic One of these Is FOR
the purpose Of gradually doing away with
the slums and insantary conditions
which are IL be found in Washington's
back alleys. While hardly more than a
beginning has been accomplished. the
work Of removing dilapidated. unwhole-
some shacks and novels seems al least TO
be making some progress. u Is TO be
hoped that it can be pushed more rapidly
IN the future. A reasonable degree Of
cleanliness and decency in these quarters
ought not only 10 be expected. but en-
forced. Washington has a population Of
less than third OF a million and is not
OvercrOWded. There can be no valid ex-
cuse for permitting the existence Of nu-
merous filthy and squald streets within
its boundaries. with the possibilities Of
pestilence which they afford
The other scheme is more ambitious and
more likely to arouse notice, though
whether il is or greater value may be open
to question. 1t consists Of nothing less
than a plan to appropriate ten millions 10

pending large sums in rent for space in

that the ground which IL is desired 10 buy

erect stately public buildings in architec-
tural harmony The execution Of this pol
icy would undoubtedly add signally 20 the

publicly the interest in the Cuban situa-
ton which the majority of its members
are known to feel individually and to ex-
press privately. President Roosevelt and
his advisers should not be expected to
carry the whole burden. Congress has
responsibility ia the matter which #
should not shirk. The executive depart
ment did not seek the burden which Con-
gress imposed upon it in respect Of Cuba.
Nor can the claim Justly be made that IN
clothing the Pre- sident with extraordinary
powers with relation to Cuba the Con
gress was thereby relieved of all further
obligation. In the Cuban crisis that is
rapidly approaching, President Roosevelt
undoubtedly would welcome the assistance
Of the Congress in dealing with the SUBJ

Not the least interesting feature prom

the Senate over the discharge Of the
negro soldiers, soon after that body re-

Tiilman will be on the same side OF the
controversy. They have enliyened many
a session OF the somnolent Senate with
tits over the negro. They are warm
friends. and Ike each other Ia the genu-
Inc sort of way, but on numerous Occa-
sions they have had clashes over the
negro question that seemed seriously to
threaten severance Of their friendly
relations. II is suspected that Senator
Spooner, as former Senator Chandler
used to dc. has more than once baited
the fiery South Carolinian. just for the
fun of rumpus with him. Persons who
know Of their personal relations and
former spats over the race issue are not
prepared 10 believe that they will dwell
IN harmony on the question long. even
