Today the cernerstone of the first of the buildings for the Ameriean Univer- sity, established by the Methodist Church, is being laid with appropriate ceremonies and with a spirit of determined enterprise on the part of the incorporators of this freat institution that bespeaks for it a suc- tessful career. Th's is an important event in the history of Washington and one to- ward which the educators laboring in this fie'd have Iong been looxing. It will probably be a matter of a few months, comparatively, before the new uni- versity, as now planned by its projectors. will be in full operation with a large equ‘p- ment and a gratifying membership of stu- cents. These denominational movements in the way of education are not experi mental. They have been founded on th ripe experience of some of the most suc- cessful vf America’s colleges and univer- sities. One of the oldest and best of the local institutions is that originally organ- ized and now conducted by the Baptist Church, Columbian University, and there is already under way the execution of 2 plan for the establishment of a Episcopa: cathedral foundation here that will include edi tional features. The Methodists have chosen welt the’: site and have made ar admirable beginning in establishing a hall of history as the first of the university departments. A large endowment and an able corps of workers contribute equally to the prospects of suc- cess, and the trustees of the university w/li always find the people of the District to be in hearty sympathy with the movement denominations being forgotten in the gen- eral gratification over the growth of the university community at the capital. There is another event of importance oc- curring today in connection with the zrowth of the educationa! facilities of Washington. The trustees of the Catholic University are new in session for the pur pese of selecting three names for nomina- n to the Pope for the office of rector of that institut‘on. Much depends upon the cesult of their deliberations. The most im portant of the questions at issue is whether che new rector will be identified with the American spirit that has hitherto prevailed .n the conception, foundation and conduct of the university. The late rector was suck in officer, heartily in accord with the masses ot the members of the Catholie Church o7 tbis side of the Atlantic and enthusiastic nm kis desire to put the stamp of true Americanism upon the enterprise. This feeling was natural under the circum- stances, for the entire endowment of the iversity cxme from American purses. ®rom corner stone to peak it is and should remain an American institution. —__~+ e + _ —__ More About Railroad Wrecking. If the capitalists who are In control of a majority interest in the Eckington-Bei: street railway system had shown as much practical energy in the conduct of the legi- timate work of running street cars for the mutual benefit of their stockholders and the public as they have evidently expended in the plain determination to “finance” the property into a wreck, doubtless there would be no cause for complaint among the original owners of the roads and their rapidly dim:nishing patrons. But it is ap- parently more to the taste and profit ct these shrewd operators to play “bear” on this occasion. Stock depreciation for reve- nue only is an old game and it would seem that these men are expert at it. It would be bad enough were the innocent minority Stockholders and bondholders the soie suf- ferers, but unhappily the public must be made to feel the burden as wel§ It is no matter of concern to the men in control, of course, that the street ear sys- tem of Washington is weakened by these fimancial schemes, or that thousands of iS are put to great icemvenierice by of the (ee moment. The motive sufficient to them is one of gain. The process is generally familiar and the details are being slowly learned as the in- dignant holders of siocks and bonds pur- sue their inquirics, in preparation for the litigation which seeks to prevent the issue of receivers’ certifieates that would hence- forth be a preferred lien on the property. Deliberately and adroitly these railroad wreckers have beaten down the value of the two roads. Disappointed in their plan to protit by the introduction of the chap but ugly and dangerous overhead troliey system they sought to benefit from another scheme. Their wilful blindness to the de- mand for decent rapid transit first aroused and then disgusted the patrons of the roads. Next came maneuvers designed to still further cripple the lines, aeeompanied by open acknowledgments sound:ng almust like boasts of the heavy daily loss of reve- nue. Then followed a pretended faith in aa untried and unpromising motor system, The experimental stage was entered upon with the result of a receivership and the calm request for the issue of extraordinary obligations in order to conduct the test. ‘The next chapter may be written by the courts er perhaps by Congress. The synd!- cate will doubtless appeal early in the com- ing session for legislation but with less reason than ever to expect a continuance of favors. ——__~+ e = Far from being some other man’s press agent, Mr. Bryan now has several press agents of his own. —__+ e+ _. Silver and the Workingman. ‘The silver coalitionists confess that their whole hope now is based on organized la- bor. If that fails them they are beaten. They are claiming eighty per cent of its voting pewer. They p-oh-peoh the large number of McKinley clubs composed ex- clusiveiy of wage-earners by asserting that the members are acting under compuisicn: that their ballets when prepared in the polling booths will not agree with the but- tons they are wearing on their coats. ‘The coalition’s bid for the labor vote is the plank im the platform denouncing what is characterized as “government by in- junctiun.” The reference is to the aetion taken by the authorities in the matter cf the Debs strike. The coalition’s assump- tiom is that in his whole course in thar contest Mr. Debs had the sympathy and indorsement of Iabor everywhere, and moreover that labor leans to strikes, and wants to clear the way for strikes ai wit! and unrestrained in future. ‘The republican lerders are convinced that the Bryanites have misjudged labor. La- ber in this campaign, as they are advised, has not becn misied by any of the cajol— cries that have been offered. It has looked into not one piznk but every plank of the Chicago platform, and the document in its entirety has not proved acceptable. The republicans are advised, moreover, that men of the Debs stamp, very far from being im the majority, are in the minority in labor circles. They are the men of most neise, and in any sudcen emergency are apt to precipitate organizations to which they may belong into trouble. But, as a rule, it is asserted, their influence is re- gretted, and action taken under it is, in the en, repudiated. The estimate is that Kot over twenty per cent of any labor or- génization is ever disposed at the start to Proceed to the extremity of a strike. But that sma!l minority, by throwing itself Into the contention with vehemence, often stam- pedes the majority, and a collision is at hand before the majority is aware of It. The Debs people, as the republicans be- lieve, have faffed In this fight because of the lengih of time which the labor organi- zations have had for studying the ques- tions. There has been no opportunity for a stampede. Nobody has been forced by excitement into hasty action. The wage- earners have carrfed the whole problem about with them, and in their busy as in their Ietsure moments have been exam- ining {t in all the light they could train upon it. The stiver question, it is also asserted, has been going against the coalition in the ranks of labor. The wage-earners have taken the most interse interest in that, and have crowded tents and public halls to near it diseussed by men ef note. Inform- irg reading on the subject has been sup- pied to them im the greatest abundance. They have discovered what free coinage at 16 to } would mean to them. The scaie of Mexican wages and of Mexican prices re- cently laid before them has, it is asserted, bad & great influence in shaping their opin- iors. They have been pinched by the hard times, but their condition has never been Mexicanized. Nor do they intend, as mary of them declare, that, with their votes, i: ever shall be. The silver question has been played against the “government by injunction” question. Ever: seme of the agitators, it is asserted, are against free riot if it must be acccmpanied by half-pay wages and double price living. They prefer, injunctions to peon pay and siarvation. — = Senator Morrill. The practically unanimous re-election of Senator Justin S. Morrill yesterday by the Vermont Iexisiature is cause for gratiiica- ton here. Few men in Congress nave done as much as Senator Morrill for Wasnington $ a city and as a capital. He has always aided in the passage of measures intended to add to the attractions of Washinton, and many menuments to his breadth of view and his generous statesmanship are bermanently at nand. The Congressional Library, a building that has challenged the admiration cf entire world, is one of these, and it is well known that he confi- dently hopes to add to the architectural at- tractions of Washington in the near future by securing liberal appropriat:ons for a Su- preme Court building and for extensions to the Smithsonian and the National Museum. Fersonaily and officially Senator Morrill is above reproach, and the compliment of continuation in sn important public posi- ton was never better deserved by an American citizen + oe Campaign orators have succeeded in con- vincing a few men that living beyond their means has had nothing whatever to do! with the financial difficuities in which they find themselves. —+>+oe—____ Chairman Jones and others have a great deal to say about “the cause of free sil- ver,” but what is really exciting the public apprehension is its probable effect.

When a man complains of it, it generally means that he’s too indolent te do his own think- ing.” Sileneed. The night air was startied by a series of remarks which sounded something like: “Yee-ip“ow-ow! Dad-blame such care- lessness! Whoo-ee!”* “Did L hear you say something about carelessness?’ his wife asked. “Yes, you did ‘This ticor evidently hasn’t been swept since I put down the carpet three weeks ago.” “What makes you think so?” “I don’t think so—I know it. I've just stepped on a tack, and if f have lockjaw it'll be your fault. Nobody but a woman would fail to think of ihe awful conse- quences of such neglect.” She got up, made a light, and picked something up trom the floor. “This is the spot wiere you hurt your- self, isn’t it?” she asked. “That's the place where I was stabbed.” “Weli, dear, it wasn’t a tack, and your remarks about carelessness don’t appiy. it is a campaign button that you allowed to fall out of your coat, ani it happeneu to land with the pin-side up.” ‘The Lass of ‘96-97.
