It has felt itself kept in the @ark for no good reason that: it has been able to imagine. Its efforts to obtain in- formation have proved futile. A Senator, indeed, anxious to communicate with the State Department about a very important matter, recently publicly in the open de- bates of the Senate asked that some one of his associates would address the depart- ment on the subject. He was confident, he said, that a request for the information coming from him would be denied or ne- glected. There is a very strong hope and belief that this sort of thing is soon to en-l; that the new executive, with his experience both as an executive and a legislator, will steer a different course, and one well calculated to insure co-operation instead of conflict between the legislature and the executive in the transaction of public business. ———_++2—____ Color Photography. ‘The latest development-in the long strug- gle of science for the attainment of some method whereby the colors of nature can be photographed and reproduced at first hand by chemical means is more than usually interesting, for it indicates that perhaps the investigators are now cn what may prove to be the right tack. A French- man has discovered, it is said, that n or- dinary photographic plate can be chem- ically treated before exposure in a certain manner that will give to its absorption of light a distinct color character. From chis Plate a print is made on a specially pre- pared paper, which looks at first like the ordinary photograph. The prirt is immersed successively in baths of red, blue and green dyes of a common sort, and the result 1s a photograph in which all the fundamen colors appear distinctly indicated, with per- fect accuracy of registry such as is impos- sible even in the most exact lithographic werk. Heretofore all the main effor:s of the color-photograph seekers have been (i- rected to the discovery of the long-sought neutral medium which, it was hoped, weuld offend none of the color values and xency to supply the manifest deficiencies of the bill. They have heretofore been enumerated in The Star, and they are in- deed apparent from a mere glance at the repert of the House committee, in which the estimates and the allowances are set forth side by side. To repeat briefly, the items whicn were omitted entirely, and for the enactment of which there is an nt reed, are those relating to the muni- al building, the morgue, the harbor boat 1 the smal! fund for maintaining the iy established free public library. eir addition will increase the total of | bill by only $1 whereas the House kept considerably n inside of the margin afety as fixed by the revenues of the ct for the next fiseal year, and not could these be adjusted on lines of ac need, but there could > be material increases In the street sents, schovls, police and fire ap- ons and the limit would not even reached. At least two million dol- coull be thus added. The Commission- ers’ estimates, it has been shown, were than the amount of money that ly be available for the fiscal year, ally will s and the reduction from those estimates mad» by the House amounted to very nearly three million dollars. The Senate can also tmprove the budget by providing for the necessary imerease in the water ly. as already set forth in these col- umes. Thes it will be seen that there i much to be done by the upper house during the coming three weeks, and it is to be oped that this body will not feel obliged nder over much of the increases the final pinch comes in conference. ~—— +02 -—__ A Naval Display at the Inaugaral. pondent writes to The Star to hat it would be most desirable to a good sample of the American navy hored ere at the time of the inaugu- to give the visitors to this city an additional point of interest and a view of new navy. The proposition ts an ex- t one, but nature and man’s neglect contri»uted to make it difficult of si: have rati consummation. To afford a proper view such an exhibit should be located at the navy yard, and the channel to the wharves there is so shallow as to allow none but the lightest of craft to enter. The Dolphin is the only one of the small ships in com- mi: m within reach that could be sefely Seat to the yard, and it is doubtful whether would prove a material attraction or structive sample of modern naval ure. To furnish such a display as an archi the importance ef the occasion demands and to give the assembled citizens a spec- tacle which will fittingly illustrate the progress of the navy and the importance of that bra of the government, the entire squadcon that is about to participate in the ockade of Charleston harbor should be ordered here. The vessels would necessarily obliged to anchor in the river, at a con- distance from shore, and could in no evolutions to amount to any- ‘Thus they would be mere spectacles a distance as they would be visfted by a comparatively small number of m uly opie If the plan of the larger naval spectacle is not found feasible, the conclusion may be "hed that no display whatever will be better than one so meager and inadequate as the Dolphin alone would afford. If any questions are asked by curious strangers as to why there are no naval vessels here on so significant @ national event as the inaugura- tion of a President, especially at such a city Washington, with its broad, beautiful waterway the ocean, let the shame- stricken citizens point to the incompleted work of dredging the river and the malarial banks in the Anacostia, and the answer will amgy suffice. see is avowedly suffering from does not go so far as to say is anybody in particular who is aim tired. —_ +2 There exists a vague hope that when trusts fail owt the members of the pubiic large may, somehow, get ‘heir dues. - tn arcely hoped that any changes in the new post-office bi to its sightiiness. — ee Co-Operation tustend of Confict. it is inevitah that some very important casures must fail to pass this Congress. is limited, the appropriation bills are « and must have attention, and there ertain snarls that cannot be composed “aS Matters now stand. of these measures will be aban- They may even be improved by the “k He that there making isner nui for Their terms are now well under- are the difficulties under which n laboring, and when brot attention of the next Congress, as they are certain promptly to be, they will stand more he distinctly on their meriis than if they are weak they will fall rong and deserving, they wiil ‘ation and action in accord- h that strength, and without re- complications which for four years brought the legislative and ex- branches of the government into sharp and uncompromising antagonisms. In party government—which is a neces- sity fm this country, and a good thing in itself—differences’ between the legislature and the executive are always to be reckoned with. They will arise, and within bounds to be welcomed: but where they take the form of warfare: where the execntive is accused of interfering with the functions f the legislature and of openly deriding it: «cutive are yet hold them all in their distinct relations throughout the various processes of ex- posure, development, printing and finish- ing. The latest discovery, indeed, shows that in a measure these former efforts have been on the wrong lines. it seems to be the print, after all, and not the plate that helds the secret, the plate contributing, of course. There is no telling the real value, commercially and artistically, of such a discovery as this, if it be genuine and practicable. On the one hand scieace has achieved a great marvel in the Jev#lopment of a machine that will photograph and re- produce motion, and there is a great future promised for that device, whicn, in some of its many present variations, will certainly, it is thought, be brought to such a poini of perfection that it can be used by indi- viduals without the aid of elaborate ap- paratus. The color photograph has proved more of a problem, and has indeed been one of the great secrets of nacure for which philosophers and savants have striven in vain for life-long periods. It is not too much to expect that some sort of a solution will have been reached by the end of this most wonderful of centuries. —-—_~ e+ __.

From the Financial Review. It is to be regretted that the House of Representatives failed to appropriate for the maintenance of the Free Public Library. It is to be hoped that the Senate will make good the omission, and will stand by the appropriation. In’ this country of free schools it has come to be recognized that their efficiency is marvelously stimulated by a free public library so organized that its books of reference and of fitustration can be readily drawn by each teacher for the use of the scholars in his or her room. Then, too, the benefit of its educational ad- vantages to the laboring class are inesti- mable. To those who desire to study up the higher branches of the different trades in which they are engaged its shelves are loaded with treasures available at hours and under circumstances whoily within their command. To those who have little or no social Ife it affords opportunities for amusement which profitably ogeupies their idle hours. Nor can it be supported so as to accom- plish its purpose by private subscription. The subscribers die or move away, or their circumstances change, vr their interest in the subject ceases. “Then, too, what is everybody's business is nobody's affair. aud in time collections languish and new sub- scriptions fail to materialize. Even when liberally endowed by sufiictent private gift its usefulness is limited. 1: naturally runs off into a somewhat excinsive channel of private domination and influence. ‘The.pub- lic does not feel a sense of real praprietor- ship.
