THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY..........November 25, 1896. CROSBY S. NOYES...............-Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than three times as large as that of any other paper, morning or evening, published in Washing- ton. As a News and - Advertising Medium it has no competitor. {7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual conneeted with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. = An Attornes-at-Law. The return of Thomas E. Watson to the practice ot the law ts worth more than the bare lie announcing tye fact. If not an event of the first magnitude, it is an event of interest, pointing a political moral and adorning a populistic tale. Mr. Watson abandoned his profession scme five or six years ago. At that time populism as a national factor was just rearing its bucolic head. The discovery had just been made that the country’s dis- tresses all grew out of the preponderance of lawyers and politicians in the paths of the public service. These men had too much to do with framing the laws, and with their execution. They had established @ sort of legislative trust, which must be dissolved. And the only way to dissolve it Was to elect more farmers to office. Agri- culture must have a larger representation in the halls of Congress, and wherever public affairs were transacted. Mr. Watson fell in enthusiastically with the new propaganda. A lawyer himself, with a fair practice in a country town, he sold his books, locked his office decor, turned his back on the courts, and set up regularly as a champion of the people. ‘The episode was widely advertised, and on the crest of its wave Mr. Watson came to ngress, a farmer. and in earnest. His conversion to populism complete. He was the populist can e for Speaker of the House. He held the “age” even over the famous Jerry Simpson as the spokes- man for populism on the floor. He kept the cause of populism continually in evidence. He became a martyr to the cause when he offered for re-election; but he rose from his congressional ashes into the position of leader of the party at home, and finally into that ef vice-presidential candidate on the ticket with Mr. Bryan. He is suspected of a desire to head his party’s national ticket in 1960, and of already laying pipes to secure that nomination. But, behold, Mr. Watson is a lawyer egain. He has bought back his old books, or invested in a new set, returned to his old office, or opened a new one, gone into court again and earned and received a large fee. He is again distinctly tarred with the legal stick. What does it all mean? That Mr. Watson is now so strong that he can afford to ignore the mere prejudices of populism? Or is populism it- self abating some of the fantastic notio which heralded its appearance on the na- tional stage? e ——_—___ ++» —______ Beautifying the Capital. In his annual report, Secretary Lamont shows a gretifying degree of interest tn the welfare of the national capital in other respects than the water supply, his com- ments upon which were noted in yester- day's Star. He urges the speedy con- struction of a memorial bridge to Arlington as “an undisputed commercial and military necessity,” rendered still more requisite by the inadequate and unsafe character of the Agueduct bridge. His remarks on this sub- ject are pointed, and admit of no opposing argument. The bridge is needed, and in supplying the demand, the government can do no leas than to erect a structure that will endure for many years as a magniti- cent monument. Of equal practical im- pertance is the necessity for the Hall or Records, for use by the government for the storing of important but uncurrent docu- ments. Secretary Lament is of the optn- icn that this building should be specially constructed somewhere between the Execu- tive Mansion and the Capitol, preferably on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue. If the government should deem it unwise to purchase the Corcoran Art Gallery, Sec- retary Lamont’s proposition to put the Lullding on the south side of the avenue is an excellent one, particularly in view of his further recommendation that this entire stretch along the most magnificent thor- evghfare in the new world should be de- voted to the construction of public build- ings for which necessity may arise from time to time. The” Star has repeatedly urged this project. The irregular distribu- tion of public structures detracts largely from their aggregate impressiveness, and nature and the wise plans of the founders of the city have co-operated to furnish on this stretch of a mile and a quarter the oppor- tenity for one of the finest architectural displays In the world. This effect should be stpplemented, as Secretary Lamont sug- sests, by an effort to improve the character ot the public memorials and monuments hereafter to be erected, through the ap- peintment of an art commission, that, free from political influences and marrow per- sonal prejudices, may have final authority to pass upon all plans and destgns for per- ™manent structures of this sort. —» It would be interesting to know if the kentlemen who say their visits to Canton, ‘bio, have no political significance, have to walt until after they lay their hopes before Major McKinley to make the discovery. ———++e—___ Senator Foraker’s assurance that there is harmony in Ohto will not be accepted by suspicious politicians a3 conclusive evi- dence that he has not a can or two of war- paint concealed about bis person. ——_—+e+-— Spain's confident attitude May be due to the impression tha: the United States navy is all lke the Texas. ——~+eo___ Squabbling Over the Offices, It is ebserved that the spirit of faction begins to revive within the ranks of the republicans. It was completely hushed dur- ing the campaign. The presence of the common foe had an inspiring effect. Bnt the battle has been won, the Prizes are numerous and tempting, and leaders are now considering, more oz less selfishly, the matter of the apportionment. The question has changed from what shall the harvest be, to that of what shall be done with the harvest. New York is always a storm-center in such circumstances. It is a storm center now. Patronage cuts an Important igure in the empire state. The Platt and the anti-Platt people arg already active. Mr. Platt is expected to take care of his peo- ple, and it is believed that in order to do this he will succeed Mr. Hill in the Sen- ate. The legislature will obey his wishes about the election. As Senator, and par- ticularly wi the republican majority in that body very narrow, he could claim a potent voice in the distribution of the New York patronage. As strong in their position as tke Platt people appear to be, however, they are watchful of the other side. The visit of Whitelaw Reid to Can- ton while on his way to Arizona to spend the winter excites @ good del of comment in Platt circles, ‘The Quay and the anti-Quay people are sparring for position in Pennsylvania. Mr. Quay is already im the Senate, prepared to look out for the welfare of those who train with him. The other faction wants to put Mr. Wanamaker in a seat beside him, and so make sure of an equal chance for ee Ee eee recognition from the new administration. Mr. Quay will fight the program. And Mr. Wanamaker and his friends will fight Mr. Quay. The battle is on. In Ohio, where for a twelvemonth a most unusual peace has existed between the re- publican factions, signs of a shindy are observable. The talk of transferring Mr. Sherman to the cabinet and sending Mr. Hanna to the Senate as his successor causes the Foraker people to wrinkle their brows. They don’t like the suggestion. They are disturbed enough as matters stand. They don’t want the Sherman peo- ple to imherit too much- of the surface of the earth. Everything seems to promise that the peacemaker will find business to do in Ohio before next summer. In both Indiana and Kentucky a United States Senator is to be elected this winter. In Indiana the republicans have a safe ma. jority on joint ballot, and the caucus no} nee will easily go through. But the p: liminary canvassing of the claims « different aspirants shows that facts blood is up, and may boil before the choice is made. A more serious situation exists in Kentucky. The republicans there have but a bare majority on joint ballot, and are at the most bitter loggerheads about candidates. Factional fighting dcfeated the election of a republican Senator last winter. Tbe same factions are “at it” again, and over the same aspirants. Now that a republican President has been elected, each faction is more eager than ever to put its favorite into the Senate. Mr. McKinley as President will sooner or later encounter this rising spirit of factionalism. It ts bound to reach the White House. It is headed there. His frtends regard him as 2 good man to deal with it. He hae mueh patience and tact. He has been a long time himself in the political ‘shafts. He has had experience of men anxious for recognition, and his Judgment ought to be good about those who deserve it. Stil his friends do not envy him his task. —___—__o+-______ “A MeKinley Man.” The Senatorial race in Illinois is develop- ing a number of candidates, and among the suggestions thrown out is one to the effect that the new Senator should be “a McKirley man.” The suggestion is em!- nently sound, ard should influence the se- lection. Mr. McKinley will take office in circum- stances of exceptional gravity and diftt- culty. The country will be expecting a great deal at his hands. To meet this ex- pectation he will have to bring forward 2 comprehensive program, and to realize on his program he will have to receive a cor- dial suppurt at the hands of Congress. He will be entitled to this support, and if for any reason, factional or other, he should fail to receive it, the loss will be both the party’s and the country’s. It will be of especial importance that his support in the Senate be beth firm and cordial. The vote in that body will be ex- tremely close, a:d the business to be trans- acted exceedingly delicate. Besides pass- ing upon tariff and currency questions, the Senate must pass upon several treaties, and confirm a large number of nomina- tions to office. It Is in the Senate, there- fore, that the President will particularity need frierds, and there he should find them. There is no intimation that any aspirant for the seat of Gen. Palmer Is unfriendly to Mr. McKinley; wouid, if elected, organ- ize or join a movement to balk or hold up the executive for selfish ends. They are all good republicans, and good men. They all helped to bring about Mr. McKinley's election. At the same time the discussion is calculated to set before the people pre- cisely what the situation in the Senate calis for, and the necessity for the rein- forcement there of those whose pleasure it will b2 to support the President as a re- publican and as the responsible head of the party. Two Ohio Presidents encountered their chief difficulties in Senatorial opposition. Mr. Hayes and Gen. Garfield had both to complain of it. The party in both instances was the sufferer. So much the sufferer in the one case that hal Mr. Hayes stood for a second term he would probably have been defeated at the polls by a democrat. A democrat was successful at the end of the four years for which Gen. Garfield had been elected. Mr. McKinley is entitled to better luck— at ieast to @ fair start and full party sup- port. And what {s true of the Hlinois situ- ation is true of the situation in every other state where a republican Senator this winter is to be elected. ————_+ + > ___ —_ A Hint From Murray Hill. The dwellers in that fashionable section of New York known as Murray Hill are up in arms against a menace to their health in the form of an open trench dug for a sewer that is very slowly materializing. For seven weeks the upturned earth has been sehding forth mlasmatic odors, mingled with waftinga from leaky gas pipes and drains. The hotel business in that vicinity has suffered and a storm of Protest ts now centering around the de- partment of public works. Poor Murray Hill! Seven weeks of exposure to an open trench is bad enough, but what would the residents of that region think of many years of life on the banks of a tide-covered marsh several miles long into which trunk sewers empty, including one that exposes {ts foul and sluggish current to the open atr within a great city’s limits? Such is the Eastern Branch, with its tributary, James Creck canal, a thousand times worse than all the trenches ever dug in New York, and many times more menacing to health. Protests from the residents of this section of the capital are raised year after year without avail. Congress has heard the cry for improvement and has not heeded it. It wil be heard again this winter, louder than ever, and perhaps to some effect. : —____+«______ Unsensonable Weather. The weather-mixers have been promising for two or three days a relief from the un- seasonable Warmth and humidity experi- enced in this part of the country for the past week, but up to the present time there has been no evidence of an immediate veri- fication of these assurances. It is an ur- wkolesome kind of weather that has fallen to Washington of late, a deceptive degree of heat and motsture that has tempted the unwary to change the weight of their ap- Darel to make themselves temporarily more comfortable. Physicians are generally of the opinion that this sort of weather is prcductive of throat disease, especially if fcllowed suddenly by a@ sharp fall of tem: perature that catches the people unawares before they have had time to change their clothing and their habits of life. So far the seazon has been abnormal in this re- spect, and the prediction is freely made by amateur forecasters that the coming winter will be “open.” Usually by this date snow has fallen mere than onee in material quantit‘es. As a rufe, by Thanks- giving Day there has been at least one snow flurry of noticeable size, and these last days of the month are often marked by the preeence of a considerable coat on the grourd. ———+ee—_____ The dissolution of the nat? trust gives to non-prosecuting prosecutors under the anti-trust. laws..the opportunity to claim that all these organizations may be relied upon to go ahead ‘and do the right thing if they are only let alone long enough. ———~>+s—____ Mr. Croker’s determination to resume besiness at the oki stand is another re- minder of the fact that it costs money-to associate with the Prince of Wales. ooo The Sultan has paved the way for ancther New Year's resolution.
