Concerning Castro.

The French government Is making al.
togethef too much fuss about Castro,
who is on board steamer bound for Bor-
deaux. The Venezuelan president is i'll
and seeks medical treatment in Europe.
Ordinarily he would be heartily received
as a rich visitor and ofIicially welcomed.
BIT Mr.. Castro has so acted as to incur
the displeasure of the government at Paris
b. his actions toward the French minister
at Caracas. He and the French govern
ment are not on speaking terms. But
that is no warrant for treating him
churlishly now that he is a voyager seek
ing relief from bodily Ills. Nothing that
has happened in Venezuela can Justify
the officials OF France in drawing lines
on Castro In his individual capacity. Yet
it is proposed TO prevent the Venezuelan
executive from visiting Paris He will,
il is reported, be permitted to land on
French soil provided he remains in Bor-
deaux or moves straight through France
% Switzerland.
Much better would it be for France to
pay no attention to Castro whatever. to
treat him as any tourist, with the coun-
try wide open 20 him as long as he be-
HAYES himself. France loses in dignity

is recognized that if the country is to ac-

age he fine arts, and it is the duty of the
United States government to take the lead
in his direction. Congress has begun to
appreciate this fact SO that its appro-
priations during the past few years for
such purposes have been sufficient to en-
list the services Of the greatest sculptors

Lincoln and the People.

James Creelman in Parsons Magazine.
While Lincoln lives in the heart of the
nation it is idle to think that the republic
can be corrupt or cowardly.
There were less than nine millions OF
Americans when he was born. These
have become almost ninety millions. The
national wealth has grown to more than
a hundred billions of dollars. The flag
he defended now flies over the Philippines
Hawaii and Porto Rico The laW-resist-

and the tariff baron have taken the

their early ideals by the tribute they will

At least four of Judge Taft's advisers
will have their hands full, and should

tering. on big things In world politics.
and our State Department requires the
services of a man familiar with big

take up where lie leaves off. Only first
class man could hope to meet that emer-
Eency.
The Treasury Department. always i'm
portant. will have to apply new tariff
law and be called upon to assist in some

and the next may continue the work.
The Presidents financial adviser therefore

We are committed 20 a much larger
navy. and this understanding. or what
ever it may be, with Japan gives to the
Navy Department a value it has not be-

A Trouble Breeder.

The present policy of this government
regarding the situation in Haiti. it is an

the troubles remain exclusively internal
and do not affect the rights of the
United States. This probably means that

overurning of the established govern
ment in favor of a new administration.
This In turn means that there will be
much bloodshed and that all the foreign
legations in Port Prince will be
crowded with fugitives. Then will follow
r,sdjustments, prolonged correspondence,
a general unsettlement of business, and
eventually subsistence into comparative
quiet under some new executive, with an
other revolution breeding in the bush. or
else, il the unexpected happens, after
hattie or two. the insurgents will be
beaten back from the capital and the
aged executive will continue his career,
uitn reprisals to discourage further at
tempts at the transfer of power by force

main desoIated land, scourged by war,

it may not he the business OF the

10 these successive changes by violent
measures. This government is not
charged with full responsibility over the
petty republics of the archipelago the

moral authority which at a time like this
might easily, through some overt act. be
extended into an obligation to interfere.

Washington's Protection From Fire

Chief Belt renews his recommends ton
! that a gravity high-pressure system of
mains be installed for the fighting Of fire.
| This proposition has been repeatedly
formulated in recent years, but Con-
gress has persstently disregarded it, on
the ground that the Districts finances
were in no condition to warrant the as
sumption of the charge of $750.O0O for
the installation. Every Westinghouse
knows how illogical this excuse is. when
the District is annually spending more
than 1t receives in current revenues for
the completion of works of improvement of
permanent nature, none OF which is more
necessary for the safety and benefit of
the community than the high-pressure
fire-fghting system. This is not work
that can with economy be postponed.
Each year of delay adds to the ultimate
cost. in terms of the actual materials
and in terms also of the heavier annual
fire toll incidental to continued reliance
upon the steamer system in the business
district Postponement also adds to the
cost of maintaining and expanding the
service. 1t is estimated that by the ex-
penditure of the $4,000 required for the
high-pressure system enough steamers
will be freed from the business section
TO afford a sufficient protection to the out
lying parts of the District for years to
come.
Hal the recommendation been adopted
by Congress promptly upon it's submission
it would have placed Washington in the
van OF American cities with regard to
measures of protection from fire. Owing
to the delays of Congress this advantage
has been lost and the capital has mean
while been distanced by several other
cities. notably Philadelphia and New
York. In the latter the high-pressure
service has already proved its economic
worth through the eXtinguishment of fires
which with the old methods in use would
have spread to heavily expensive proper
tons. Must Washington wait until
fire has swept through its business dis
trict to prove the costly folly Of pro-
crastination? Why should not the Ma
ional capital be given the most complete
and perfect equipment for its protection
that is mechanically possible? Further
postponement on the score of the unsat-
isfactory state of the local finances will
add heavily to the Districts indictment
of Consr; rs as an unjust guardian.
