The National Guard.

The National Guard and the regular
army constitute the first line of ma
tional defense on land. The National
Guard OF the District, like the National
Guard of many OF the states, conforms
with sundry unavoidable differences 10
the organization, discipline and euuip-
raent of the regular establishment. The
National Guard is serious thing to the
mon who compose il and to the govern
ment. The demands that it makes upon
the officers and men are not generally
understood by those outside the organiza
ton. The men in the guard know that
they are always under scrutiny by the
War Department, and that to fall below a
certain standard of efficiency and strength
means a muster out and all the disgrace
that attaches TO 1t. The result is that the
standard of efficiency-and that means
discipline. training. strength and equip
nent-was nxer 50 high as IL is nov

Mr.. Bryan Urges Instructions.

The reply of the chairman OF the dem.
ocratic state committee of Ohio to Mr.
Bryan on. the subject of senatorial in.
structions does not meet the point at all
Mr.. Bryan urges instructions, and this
committee official points out that on two
occasions when the democracy did in.
struct the republicans carried the legis.
lature.
But the instructions did not cause the
democrats to lose. On both occasions the
republicans were in power. and the tide
was with them. The democrats played
their best cards, but were predestined tc
defeat, Nothing could have saved them
In Ohio and elsewhere they were in the
throes of party divisions, while the re-
publicans were in the strength and
health of solidarity.
Now the conditions are reversed. The
democrats are in power and fairly well
united, while the republicans are divid-
ed Why not improve all the opportu-
mites of the situation, and by naming q
good man for the senatorship get the
0enefit of his name in the campaign?
Evidently Mr.. Bryan has in mind what
occurred in Indiana last winter a year
ago, according to charge made by John
w. Kern, his associate on the democratic
national ticket of 1908. At that time
according to this accusation, an unin-
structed legislature fell under the ma.
nipulation of corrupt agencies, and a
senatorship which should have gone to
one man was bestowed upon another
Mr.. Kern's charge is now q republican
asset in the Hoosier campaign, and the
n eli To tl1n
Gratis. The republicans are even insist.
ing that the matter be made the subjec,
of a grand jury investigation.
The brewing and the distilling interests
were no more active in the Indiana con.
test of two years ago than they will be
in the Ohio contest Of this year And
they are in favor OF the election Of q
democratic legislature and the reelection
Of Gov. Harmon. If therefore those in
terests interfered in Indiana and caused
scandal, may they not do the same
thing in Ohio next winter if the oppor.
tunity presents itself? An uninstructed
legislature will be an invitation for them
to swoop down on Columbus, and make
their money talk
AS The Star recently stated, demo-
cratic senatorship will be a tempting
prize in Ohio practically on the eve of q
presidential campaign. If it is left Il
the legislature to bestow in the old wa,
there will be an old-fashioned scramble
for it. Mr.. Bryan would eliminate al
dangers of a scandal. He sees in the
state, as others do. men worthy of the
Office, and he thinks one of them shoult
be named for it by the people them
selves acting through a regularly organ
lied convention.

President Mckinley and Cuba.

The old story of President Mckinley
and the Spanish war is again under dis
cussion. Some of the comment is Of
fensive both to his memory and to the
character of the American people. One
might suppose from reading it that the
occupant of the White House at that
time was u spineless creature. and that
the people whose affairs he was directing
were a lot of Anticipated ruffians.
That was the opinion of Dupuy de
Lone, and communicated by him to
Madrid, and to a travelling agent of the
Spanish government. 1t was likewise
held, and cautiously expressed. by few
Americans. who were thought to be in
the Spanish minister's confidence. 1t had
something to do with bringing the
war. For had the Spanish government
known in time what sort of man Presi-
dent Mckinley was. and what was really
stirring the American people in the prem
Uses, it would probably have pursued a
different course in Cuba.
As everybody should know. war was
inevitable from the day the Maine was
destroyed. The crime-one of the most
hideous in history-was laid at Spain's
door, and the American people. the navy,

damages for the bodies that had gone to

surely withdrawal of the Spanish forces

sentiment beyond description. Force was

war in the island had been in progress
two years before he became President
Our representative at Havana was an
old soldier. Surely Fitzhugh Lee knew
how to appraise such conditions as then
existed in Cuba. and he was very frank
In his official reports. He condemned the
character of the Spanish campaign, and
expressed the opinion that it would fail
He had expressed the same opinions to
the Cleveland administration, but got no
action On them.
But at last action had become imHra-
tive American interests demanded the
presence of an American warship at Ha-
vana, and the Maine was sent. Mr.
Mckinley was not a pugnacious man.
and surely nobody ever accused John D.
Long OF being ''scrapper." Both were
calm and conservative men, but both
men of resolution in an emergency. and
here was the emergency AS President
and as Secretary of the Navy they acted
upon what they deemed reliable advices,
and the country applauded their action
We may all believe that Mr. Mckinley
regretted the necessity Of the war. Every
body did. He went to great lengths to
prevent 1t. But as man and former
soldier he knew the limit, and when that
was reached. he began preparations at
once for the inevitable. And they were
well made

Annapolis, or the Patapsco below Balti
more, have been fully set forth by N
!. Weller, chairman of the committe
on river and harbor Improvement o

on the subject may be read in anothe
part Of The Star Of this issue. The Sta
indorses the proposition and wishe
that the results sought may be achieved
| A canal age seems to be coming OF
again. Road. river and canal were tn,

They were the highways of commerce
The railroad age came on and INLAND
| commerce took the speedier route
Canals were closed. filled UP, or, if they
survived. they were in most cases semi
decrepit. River transportat ton declined
before railroad competition. With the
opening of the twentieth century came
a change. Railroads were congested
| with traffic. service was not wholly sat
isfactory to the body of shippers. rates
were high, there was discussion over
classification Of freights and charges OF
discrimination in favor of and against
certain points. Much of this trouble
has been adjusted, but people turned
toward the water routes. 1t was seen
that they constituted a check on rail-
road rates and provided cheaper trans
portation charges on the heavier and
bulkier classes of freight, on the car
rage of which speed was not Of prime
Importance. Interest revived in canals
and deeper river channels. Two mon
ster proposals-the inside waterway
from Massachusetts, bay to Key West
and deep waterway from the great
lakes to the gulf-fired popular imagi-
nation. The Cape Cod and New York
canal Company is digging a tide-level
waterway between Buzzards bay and
Barnstable bay. while two other canals
Massachusetts bay to Narragansett bay
and Narragansett bay to Long Island
sound-are In. contemplation. The Erie
canal. 1ake-to-sea, link, is being en-
larged. There are plans for charging
those canals called the Delaware and
Rarltan. from Raritan bay to the Della
ware; the Delaware and Chesapeake,
from the Delaware river to the head of
Chesapeake bay. and the canals from
the Elizabeth river leading to Abe
marie sound and so on along the coast to
Key West.
be an important link not in the direct
north-south inland waterway. but in
the eastern system Of inland water
ways. 1t would give the Capital city
cheaper and quicker water transporta-
ton to Chesapeake bay, to Baltimore.
Philadelphia, New York and the whole
eastern seaboard.
Canals are destined to carry large
part of the heavy freight of the United
States. despite increased railroad con-
struction and equipment. if the expert
ence of Europe is to be duplicated here
The inland waterway tonnage of Bel
GUM increased more than hundred
per cent between 1883 and 1905. while
rail tonnage increased 65 per cent.
Waterway tonnage in France increased
during the period 1sSO-19O5 $50 per
cent and rail tonnage 20 per cent. Ger
many's water tonnage 1885 to 1905 in
creased over 900 per cent, and rail ton
mage 1853 per cent.
The Washington hesapeake canal is
worthy of earnest consideration, and
Mr.. Weller's argument merits a careful
reading.
