The Board of Trade. The Beard of Trade has laid out a com- prehensive progrem for work during the brief session of Congress scon té open, but w.th a continvation of the interest and erergy indicated last night at the annital meeting muca can be accompl'shed. The annual meeting was a fitting starter for such a campaign. It showed that the pub- Lc interest in this means of pressing the Jocal needs is unabated, and that the mem- bers of the Board have come to a bet? understanding than ever of the most effec live metheds of wholesome agitation. Each year adds to this valuable experience, and widens the personal acquaintance of the citizens with the national iegislators. The list of subjects for particularly earnest en- jeavor at the coming session is weil chosen with a view io the immediate improvement vf mun‘c:pal conditions on the most urgent fines.

Roping Off Streets. Health Officer Woodward is on the right track when he urges the passage of a 4 or the law adoption of regulations restricting ege of roping off streets in cases As he points cut in his annual report, this favor has been abused until jt has become a nuisance, growing trom season to season, and now requiring a check. In but few cases of illness, in such a city as Washington, where the streets are smoothiy paved and traffic is light, is it really necessary to exclude vehicles from the adjoining streets for the comfert of the patients. Doubtless the custom has grown largely because of the spirit of neighbor- hioed rivairy, and physictans are apparently powerless to check the nuisance themselves by refusing to grant the nec ry certifi- cates or requests because it would seem that they are possessed of a fear of losing prestige if they should deny the petition of their patients or the fainilies. Under the present regulations the Health Officer must honor these certificates, although he may know that the circumstances do not re- quire the exclusion of traffic. He, there fore, points to the recommendations of the Medical Association adopted four years ago against the practice, and urging the adop- tion of means used in other cittes to secure quiet without cutting off travel. ‘The use of tan bark is suggested as comparatively inexpensive and efficacious. Dr. Woodward has found that New York, Brooklyn, Buf- falo, St. Louis and New Orleans prohibit the use of rope in such cases, and in all these cities the traffic is heavier and the street noise is more inconveniencing to sick people than in Washington. Under these favorable circumstances a law-abolishing the custom or giving the Health Officer a wider discrimination in the matter would be in no sense a hardship, but would confer @ benefit upon thousands of citizens who are new frequently and seriously incon- venienced by these blockades. see editors would be ‘much better pleased with themselves in the long run if they dii not undertake to eva: troublesom= questions by the ridiculously untruthful insinuation that the queries Were of newspaper manufacture and not written by genuine correspondents. There is no need of manufacturing expressions of Public opinion of this sort just now. soe There is no further occasion for the gen- eral run of voters to make excursions to Canton, Chto. But the office-seekers will keep the town from looking dull. — 3 Senator Hili is not disposed to rem Tammany that he was one of the few who krew enovgh to come in out of the politi- cal snow storm. ———_++e he retern of Mr. Holman would indi- © that the American people expect to have something in the treasury worth watching.

Speculation about the Cabinet has al- ready begun, and for some time to come is Itkely to be a favorite theme in politi- eal circles. Nor should the industry be discouraged. The subject is in every way interesting and important, and the mere mention of names carries a certain sug- gestion and instruction with it. Even the President-elect himself may be expected to derive some profit from noting here and there the local valuatior put upon local leaders. He will have a great many im- Portant places to fll after his Cabinet shall have been selected, and no trust- worthy information about aspirants for Office of any grade urder him will be bur- @ensome. is still beloved by his constituency as his election to Congress testifies. — ree —___ There is a great demand for wheat now. about minor matters, which, under fairly. good management, ought ‘speedily to dis- appear In the presence of the great prob- lems themselves. For the place at the head of cack a table Mr. McKinley possesses qualificattons which would seem to assure him abundart success. The President'_jg.,.frequently a Judge, an arbitrator. In a smooth working of affairs, members of tte’ Cabinet appeal to him, advise with him and, suggest to kim. His office, therefore, calis for pathy, patience, the qualities of a good Kstener. and ail the characteristics of a diplomat. Mr. McKinley ‘possessen’ this equipment to the full. For the rest, he has initiative, and the courage and firmness that go with a kindly temperamént and a clear head. The man who knows what is right, and wants the right to prevail, and has the power if necessary (o"enforce the right, is a strong man. —__ +e 2_ Closing the Venezaclaa Incident. Lord Sallsbury’s announcement at’ the’ Lord Mayor's banquet last night in Lon- don that the Verezuelan dispute tad been practically settled mdy be taken as a, cheering indication that the British premier kas at last found an honorable way to get out of an awkward predicament. -..The American contention was that the entire qavestion of territcrial rights shoyld be sub- mitted to a final and conclusive arbitration regardless ef English claims based upon survey: that have never been recognized’ by Venezuela or the United. States. The English contertion was for a limited arbi- traticn that excluded practically ail of the territory fairly in cispute. From the American State Department came a sug- gestion that the law of private title should be applied tc the British colonies in the qvestioned region, and Lord Salisbury, it now scems, has accepted this solution of his: embarrassing problem. The question of the real victor in this controversy depends upon | the determination of the period of limitation beyond which the coionial rights are to be regarded as secure, and its practical ap- plication in the present dispute. The com- mon law period of uninterrupted hostile pessession which gives title is twenty years. ‘The London newspapers commenting today ou the case make cstimates of the period of limitations agreed upon ranging from twelve to fifty years. The test of twenty or thirty years of occupation would safely tLrow ints the court of arbitration the gold fields and the otic valuable ground that kas recently .empted the English settlers beth Venezuela and tre United States consider to be the historic ard natural boundary between Venezuela jana. e practical effect of the agreement concerning tke removal from arbitration of English settlement of long Standing is to subject to arbitration substantiatly the whole of the disputed territery, for the reason that all of the extensive settlements have been made within the last twenty years, then the real victory is with the American contention; and the compromise is merely one in name. The indications are that this is the meaning and practical cf- fect of the agreement. 3 ———++e —____ : There is talk of dissolving the steel trust owing to mutual suspicions.
