Ithas. not been intimated publicly whether: there is any understanding ‘with Denmark for the session of St. ‘ Themas or-other of her possessions in the..VVest Indies, but the question is . unimportant. since the Senate has vir- tually decided against the purchase. ,We n‘e'ver have. been convinced of the advantage of such an outpost to the United. States, either for commercial or military- purposes, and there. would seem to be some decided disadvantages. If we had to worry now about the safetymf St. Thomas, with the Spanish lleet assemblingnt Porto Rico, the nav— al situation would certainly ,not be im- proved. Spain must. have. a coaling station to make naval operations possi- bln so far from home, but our own sta~ ti us are comparatively , near, and: wilile it would be more convenient. for our ships to put ‘in at St. Thomas, the necessity of defending the place must draw off a considerable force-that could - be better emplbyed elsewhere. This is at least the way the matter strikes the average mind, though naval strategists may see itdiderently: and it appears to be the view that prevailed in h the Senate Friday, coupled with be important consideration that the traditional policy of the United States is opposed to the acquisition of non- contiguous territory and that it is im- portant just now not to proclaim that this policy has been altered. While- we are strenuously denying any selfish designs upon the Spanish possessions, it may have been thought unwise to be- gin annexing other property in their immediate neighborhood. w—qooor—m-fl- Greater New York. New York, the greater, appears to have been rather fresh in entering up- on some Of- those metropolitan improve- ments that haveexcitedthe admiration and envy of less progressive cities There are the new bridge over the-East river and the fine new Public Library, and; some . splendid extensions of the magnificent park and bOulevard system inthe’upp‘er 'en‘d'of the island and. a , great many other improvements that have been started. All these are to be paid for by loan. It is now dis- covered that the amount of ‘loans al- ready authorized exceeds the constitu- tional limitlby a trifle of thirty millions or more and the Comptroller is going to issue no more bonds. - ' ibis thoughtftha-tthiiadiscovery has been malle'in orderl-mston the-plans of ’ the Rapid Transit Commission, that has propOsed asubway-.plan to, which Plattand Croker/ are opposed-«nature all-y. because it would compete With'exé- isting railways. Much discontent is: expressed. but it is not easy to see. how Tammany is to be blamed for not mak- ing .any more illegal debt, even if it does tie up needed improvements. . -. ———-——~<o.o>—_-—-——— Sentiment» at the Capital. Washington is notoriously the place above all Others where the least Is known of the actual public sentiment of thecountry, says the Philadelphia Times. It makes itself ‘felt there eventually, but- it is always ”the. vnoisy shouters that are heard first, and an experienced Congressman does'not at patches he receives from constituents.- eagei- to bring themselves to. his at- tention. We believe that those Congressmen who suppose that the' people, of the I United States are loudly clamoring for ~ war are quite. mistaken. They are deg manding firm. and decided action at this‘time with reference to Cuba and . that they may expect. But if any con: siderable part Of them are anxious to light fOrthe mere Sake of fighting, ir- respective of the time or purpose, they I are mainlythose who expect topcontrib- nte'little to the cause. Of course the ’cOrrespondents who have got their war paint on cannot ap- preciate this distinction. Any one who would rather see Cuba. free withOut further snflfering and loss, if it can be accomplished, they‘regard [as a mean . ,and sordid spirit who has probably. been bought by Spanish gold. They are more than half inclined to} suspect. the President’s patriotism, since he seems soninxiOus tape sure, he’s. right l. . l fif°i° hefzoegahead‘. _ tach too much importance .to. the dis- 13°31'13““? 01' pain in the back, is also "bladder, are out of order. ar'l'iund him have a better sense'of their responsibilities and probably a better understanding of what the county real- ly expects of them. It is a strange thing, in an enlightened country, that "sober statesmanship should be distrust- .ed and abused. But we live in a some" what hysterical age and Washington is‘ often a somewhat hpyterical centre, at least among those who have no respon- sibility. ——-—<Io.rf9-~~——'——V" “Not So Very Slim.” (With Apology to the Isaac Street Blackgn'a‘rdsl Because N orwalk has no hotel, it does not follow that there is no enter- prise here. ' The authorities of New York city de- cided editor Maples morally unfit to teach in the public schools of that city. He was dismissed in disgrace after a hearing, the testimony of which is unfit for publication. The Grand Lodge of Masonry of the State of Connecticut afterafair trial decided that he was unfit to remain‘in that organization. ‘ He was dismissed in disgrace. , The people of Norwalk decided he was unfit to take charge of the even, ing schools. He was dismissed. 7 - Is not that enterprise ? In what other town in Connecticut lives there aneditor who has been disgraced by being found unfit to remain in the great organization of Masonry ? In what other town‘ lives there an editor with such a disgraceful record. ' And where else is there a country editor with such a record who walks the streets with such arrogant and un- bounded selfesteem ‘9 And where is there another country editor who so badly needs a bath ? Until some other town has matched this truthful story, let it not. be said that there is no enterprise in Norwalk. ——-——<o.o>———-——— —The Pioneer of the Klondike.
