It is still to be determined, and the present plan, outlined by Gov. Hastings, is to sub- mit the proposition to the men themselves. If a practically unanimous sentiment in favor of attendance is demonstrated orders will be issued for their participation in the great parade, but not otherwise. Much has been said to give the Impression that the Pennsylvania troops have been dis- courteously treated while in Washington on previous inaugural occasions, but this charge has not been proved, and the local conscience on that score !s entirely clear. On the other hand, it has been asserted— with more truth than lies in the other in- dictment—that individual members of the Pennsylvania troops have not always be- haved In strict accordance with the spirit of civil or military discipline while here, and the unquestioned acts of violence and even of pillage committed by a compara- tively few members of the organization have been brought to mind to the unde- served disrepute of the entire guard. Gov. Hastings in a way balances the situation in the following somewhat vague state- ment: “There have been some instances of ill-usage and bad treatment of our troops and because there are so many of them they are sometimes blamed without cause for breaches of etiquette.” There ts no doubt of the reason for blaming some of the Keystone soldiers. But, as the gov- ernor says, the membership of the guard is very large and constantly changing, and he asserts that today fully three-fourths of the men have never attended an tnaugural. Four years ago there was little complaint en the score of misbehavior, and probably the publicity given to the actions of cer- tain skylarkers in 1885 and 1489 has caused a gratifying change of heart that, together with the influx of new men, guarantees universal good behavior this year. The governor acknowledges that the treatment of the militia “by those in charge of the ceremonies has been uniformly courteous and thoughtful.” . The Philadelphia Press, in discussing the matter today, says: “Washington has never treated the Pennsylvania troops with any marked hospitaiity, but that does not affect their participation in an event that is national in its character and not a mere locel affair.” Washington has never conceived that {ts duty at tnauguration time ever called for a marked degree of hospitality toward any special class of the twenty-five thousand paraders and the non- participating visitors, numbering three times as many more. Pennsylvania's troops have always received their share of whatever has been distributed In the way of gratuitous accommodations and direct attentions, and the unpleasantness caused by the pranks of a few never, of course, been permitted to affect the courtesy extended to the general body. In short, Washington has always consclen- t the obligations imposed upon @ national capital and has lent it- self to the task of receiving the army of visitors with cheerfulness and pleasure, out “playing favorites’ and without discrimination. ——-- +02 ____ An Unsettled Question. It is unfortunate that the Commissioners, in agreeing the other day to pay the gar- b ‘actor $3,000 on account, did not y pase upcn the exact Mability of that vidual under the terms of his centract for the discontinuance of crema- ticn through the sautting down of the fur- nece at the foot of South Capitol street. A more than one-third of the total sem due to him on the full cremation ba- atned, though without any prin- of proportion beirg pronounced, and given by the issioners that the justly earned pen- y for non-compilance with legal require- s would be permanently enforced.

The press lations are handling them with an eye importance, and the leading news- e giving lberal space to the dif- cts presented. The committee's *fore, in appointing the hearings ly Justified, and those who will prepare new revenue measure will lack for no information necessary to the making of a well-proportioned and business-like docu- possession of much information of 2¢ on this highly important subject. The people generally will ke the better able to understand the care necessary to bé teken tn the framing of a tariff bill, by following in detail the different interests involved. Those interests, they will observe, are numerous and widespread. They are confined to no one section of the country. ‘The tariff is at once a toca! and a national Question. Maine wants protection for her individuals has } Ivmber, Texas for her wool, and California fcr her frufts and other industries, and from all the territory between, humming as it does with business, comes an earnest call to be remembered in the new adjustment of the schedules. Some of the free trade newspapers are aghast at some of the views submitted to ‘the epmmittee: as much so as if the com- mittee were certain to be guided and gov- erned entirely by those views. That does not of course hy any means follow. Men engaged in a particular indusiry when seeking protection for that industry natur- ally ask for a good deal of consideration fcr it. They are speaking for themselves. The committeemen to whom they speak will act for the country. They will take other things into account, and their bill will reflect, not the expressed wishes of the different individuals who have advised a3 to its terms, but the balance which has been struck after all interests have been duly weighed. There is the best warrant for believing that the new tariff bill will be a conserva- tive measure. It will be drawn on protec- ticn, but not cn prohibition, lines. Revenue will have a large place in the calculations. The government must be assured of a comfortable support in the style of living to wkich it has become accustomed. This requires the raising of a large sum of money, and a good deal of protection will go along with a bill designed for that purpose. There is no just cause of com- plaint because the republicans are showing an honest purpose to redeem their cam- paign pledges. —— 0 _____ Jackson and Lincoln. It was observed during the presidential campaign that, while Mr. Bryan was a very ready man about some things, he was @ very inaccurate man in his attempts to run historical parallels and to apply his- tory. This became very apparent in his frequent quotations from Mr. Lincoln, and in his strenuous efforts to conjure for the benefit of the Chicago platform with Mr. Lincoln’s name. It did not seem to occur to him that Mr. Lincoln in history stood for the opposite of Altgeldism. The one man had, as -President, asserted the national authority by force of arms. The other, as governor of Illinols, had sought to put the state above the nation. It was difficult to follow Mr. Bryan, therefore, in his effort to bring Mr. Lincoln's record into agree- ment with the record ‘of Gov. Altgeld. Mr. Bryan now, with 1900 in view, is con- juring with the name of Andrew Jackson. But by what authority? General Jackson's record no more accords with that of Gov. Altgeld than does that of Mr. Lincoln. If the democratic platform of 1900 is to reas- sert the doctrine of Altgeldism, General Jackson's name cannot properly be used to support Jackson and Lincoln on the question of national supremacy go to- gether. There is no room to doubt what General Jackson would have done had he been President in the spring of 1861. He would have used force to preserve the Union, just as Mr. Lincoln used it. There can be no dispute about that. No-fine-spun. theories about states’ rights would ever have obscured his view about the suprem- acy of the nation. i Mr. Bryan is not in the political com- pany he supposes. He has no right to ap- peal to either of the great shades he in- vokes for support. They stood for the plain people, but considered that their greatest service to them was in making the people’s government all the stronger. The one man while President threatened to use force when the national authority was menaced, and the other put down by force of arms the greatest revolution of modern times. It is to be doubted, indeed, if the man ever reaches the office of President who would not, if called upon, follow in the footsteps of the two illustrious examples quoted. Even Mr. Bryan himself, sobered by the re- sponsibility, and admonished by the oath, of the presidential office, would be likely to throw over Altgeldism under such pressure and assert the supremacy of the national power. The glory of both Jackson and Lincoln is that they loved the whole coun- try, and administered its affairs in a na- tional spirit. ———_ «+ ____ Just befcre the curtain rose in a Brook- lyr theater last night the ushers took po- sitions at the front of the auditorium and in cherus loudly requested all ladies pres- ent to remove their large hats.

From Harper's Weekly. A remarkable opening for dissensi breaches of the peace is invited by moan sentative Dalzell of Pennsylvania, who wants Congress to give names to the let- tered streets of Washington. He would stick to the letters which theso streets now = but would round each initial out with 801 statesman’s patronymic. A street would be Adams + B street, ‘Benton, Boutwell, Butler, Bancroft or Blair; G street, Clay, Cleveland, Calhoun or some one else. The plan would never do. There are too many et it men for some of the letters, and not enough for others. Some of the finest streets in Washington, as K street, would comme: persons of in- adequate distinction, and many of the greatest Americans, as Jefferson and Jack- son, would have no street at all.

A notable, contest ended in Pennsylvania with the selection by the republican caucus of Boles Tenrose te succeed Senator: Cameron, defeating Joh Wanamaker. The democrats organ- ized both houses of the Delaware legisla- ture. J. Edward Addicks’ followers formed an independent house, but were unable to get the co-operation of all the republican senators. The Pacific railroad funding bill was discussed in the House. The Loud bill to amend the law relating to second-class mail matter was passed by the House by 144 to 105. The Senate passed the House bill abolishing the death penalty in a large number of cases. The Senate adopted a resolution providing for an in- vestigation of the settlement of the “Mora claim.” A blizzard raged in South Dakota ard neighboring states, and several lives were lost.

Im the District. The Senate District committee decided to report favorably House bill 9647 providing for an extension of the Metropolitan street railway line along Columbia road, House bill 8726 providing for the payment of cer- tain claims against the District by draw- back certificates, House bill 6713 for the ex- tension of North Capitol street to the Sol- aiers’ Home, and House resolutions 2i3 and 214 making provision for certain temporary arrangements for the inaugural of Presi- dent McKinley; the committee also gave a hearing on the subject of the electric light- ing controversy; the Commissioners formal- ly presented their reply to eertain resolu- tions pending before the committee. It was announced that the Commissioners had reached a decision to report to Congress in favor of an elevated structure for the Penn- sylvania railroad tracks entering the city. Representative Meyer of Louisiana was appointed a member of the House Dis- trict committee. A proposition was made for the removal of the general post office to the new city post office build- ing on its completion, to turn the present pest office building over to the Interior Department, and to house certain bureaus in the Congressional Library building. Arguments were made before the District Conrt of Appeals for and against the valid- ity of the Commissioners’ regulation re- quiring all steam trains to be brought to a stop before crossing the tracks of rapid transit street railroads; the court reserved its decision. The Commissioners made a partial payment to the garbage contractor ef mor due to him, without definitely passing upon the question of his lability for the steppage of the crematory at the foot of South Capitol street. The grand jury returned an indictment against Charles G. Conn, formerly proprietor of the Wash- ington Times, charging him with criminally libeling Commissioner Truesdell. W. H. G.
