It was 1 out that when last considered by "ss the proposition was coupled with # scheme for a reorganization of the Con- gressional chronology, _ Representative Crain urging a continuous session com- cing January 1 and broken by such es as might be permitted by business by health and comfort. It is held to be questionable whether the mauguration day amendment con!d go nrough Congress and the legislatures by force. It does not appeal rontinuously to the nation. It aS a necessity by the entire ulation of this District and by as many eople from various parts of the but the numbers are not ‘ufli- larze to form a propaganda nor are <asions frequent enough to sustain ight tendency that prevails each urth year, stronger when bad weather on Inauguration day emphasizes the need of a by some ceuntr: tponement. This year the day was al, but the weather that immediately ed and followed it was atrocious. » thousands of citizens gathered ere in honor of the occasion dispersed as speedily 2s possible, curtailing their visit in order to avoid the miserable conditions and thus missing many an opportunity to make tke full round of sight-seeing. They and their hosts suffered equally from the prevalence ef bad conditions. Senator Hoar’s pro- posed amendment is practically the same that formerly advocated by him. provides that the term of office of the xth Congress Ir President and of the Fift continue vntil the thirtieth day of April, 1901, at noon. The senators whose existing term would otherwise expire March 4, 1901, or thereafter, shall continue in office until noon of April 30 succeeding such expiration; and the thirtieth day of April shall thereafter be substituted for rch fas the commencament of the offi- al term of the President, Vice President, enators and representatives in Congress. remedy is simple and merely prolongs term of the present administration the eight weeks, a slight advantage to the in- dividuals concerned, but a great one in many ways to the entire nation. Congress could do no better thing than to pass this joint resolution promptly and submit it this vear to the various states. There would then be ample time for its ratifica- tion by three-fourths of the legislatures— thirty-four in number—in such season as ‘o give the amendment full effect four gears hence. —~-+___ 4 Adulterations Frauds. ‘ancisco is greatly agitated over the discovery that a large proportion of the stuff sold in that city as currant jelly is impure and that the imitations and adulter- ants used include some very harmful sub- stance In other words, the currant jelly Francisco is not currant Jelly after The seme condition, however, proba- exists in all other cities and the people Washington as well as those of San ancisco are concerned in the matter. ‘This matter of the adulteration of food and fecd-stuffs demands the rigid enforcement ef the laws against food adulteration frauds. Even now the local authorities are striving to give effect to such a statute that prohibits the sale of imitations of but- ter as the genuine article, but their efforts ere hampered by an unaccountable disposi- thon to compromise that prevails in the gov- €rmment bureau having the enforcement of the law In hand. The compromise theory has not always proved successful in such for unless the offender is punished by some other penalty than a mere fine the money drawn from him, whether by court or by compromising executives, becomes a virtual tax paid by the law-breaker for the privilege of avoiding the statute. Mean- while the people are defrauded and in some cases their health is endangered. The Dis- trict committees at the last session ap- proved bills to prevent the sale of adulter- ated foods and drugs in the District, and se measures are therefore in condition to be enacted into law this year, along with that recently introduced by Represen- tative Barrett designed to prevent the adul- teration of candy. All these propositions are in the interest of health and honesty and their defeat can only benefit those who Prectice frauds. —-—__ + ¢ = —___ The report that several millionaires are to establish a large manufacturing town near Buffalo, N.

An interesting little pamphlet has just sched this part of the world entitled “An ademic Study of the Partition of the urkish mpire in the Interest of the Yeace of Europe and the Benefit of the Oppr Turkish Subjects." It 1s signed by “An Anglo-Indian with long experience in the Administration of Oriental Prov- inces." The little booklet was published in London January 1 last, for free distribu- tion. It wes evidently inspired by the agitation of Europe over the Armenian sit- uation, which had greatly simmered down by the beginning of the year, but it re- ceives a new value now by the present disturbances In Crete and the renewed talk of « general European war over the ef- fects of the Sick Man. Without knowing this “Anglo-Indian with leng expert- in the administration of Oriental prov- inces’ may be, it Is entertaining to note his remedy for the intolerable situation in Europe growing out of the indisposition of the powers effectively to regulate the Turk and his domains. This remedy, of course, 4s partition, dismemberment of the Sultan's entire holding. The wisest statesmen of Europe have tried many times to plan such @ distribution of the effects as would give rise to the least friction possible and allot to each power the exact sifce that is most earnestly desired, but without success. Each nation wants the wishbone and a drum-stick and there being but one of the former and two of the latter the effort at harmonious distribution has failed. The “Arglo-Indian” proposes thé following scheme: Give Crete and the European ts- lands of the archipelago to Greece; Italy. rea A should have Tripolitana; Great Britain should receive a clear title to Egypt and Cyprus; to France should be allotted Syria and Mesopotamia; Germany should receive the Turkish provinces in Arabia; Austria should obtain the whole of the so-called Turkey in Europe with the exception of Albania, which it might be convenient to cede to Greece, and the provinces which are now only slightly dependent upon the sul- tan, such as Bulgaria and Western Rou- melia, which should be declared independ- ent; Russia should be given the whole of Asia Minor except Syria and Mesopotamia, together with all the Asiatic islands of the archipelago. This plan would put Con- stantinople in the hands of Austria, and would consequently wipe out the present imperial court. The author proposes that all Turks not natives of Europe and all Armenians should be compelled within a certain time to migrate to Asia. St. Sophia should be restored to the Greek Church, while all the mosques built by mohametans should be preserved and protected, as in British India. The dignitaries of the Mos- Jem church should be permitted to remain if they agreed to refrain from any parti- cipation in political affairs. Otherwise they should be bundled into Asia. The Suez Canal and the Straits of the Dardanelles should be declared neutral, under the joint Protection of the powers, open to all ves- sels, whether of peace or war. The fort- resses of the Dardanelles should be de- stroyed and the Black Sea made free to all. The author acknowledges that perhaps some of the powers would not be wholly content with their helpings, as he thus ar- ranges them. He points out the dangers to England arising from a prolonged occupa- ticn of Egypt, and the probability that France would find her share a burden rather than a benefit. But he regards the whole plan as the only feasible proposition in sight. The scheme is important at this juncture only as showing the vast possi- bilities for trouble in the situation. ——re+o—____ End of the Alexandria Row. Judge Keith's promptly rendered decision in the case of the Alexandria police row affords a sensible settlement of this diffi- culty, which might have crippled the ef- ficler.cy of the force beyond repair had it not been thus checked at once. In effect, the powers of the mayor over the police organization are materially limited. right to suspend officers and men ari trerily, regardless of the supervisory juris- diction of the commissioners, is denied and the latter are specifically given authority to review and, if need be, to overrule the mayor's acts. Such a holding makes for better government. Under the mayysr’s contention he could wield a heavy weapon in behalf of one interest as another by holding the threat of suspension over the heads of the police. Tne case that gave rise to the complication just ended is in point. Certain officers entered upon a crusade of moral betterment that Was not in harmony with the official municipal pro- gram. Their successful raids on the policy shops were shortly followed by their sus- per sion on trivial charges. Unless checked by higher authorities such a rebuke could have no other effect than to discourage future activity along similar lines, and the best interests of the city could not but suffer severely. In another way, too, does the decision tend toward good government. Bereft of supervisory powers the police commissioners would cease to be of im- portance. Inasmuch as the offices are non-salaried they can be well filled only by appealing to the public spirit of certain citizens, who would be loath to accept them if they carried no real powers. It is to the interest of the city of Alexandria that gcod men should be made commissioners, and to this end the solution of the problem just reached is most satisfactory to the friends of law and order. ———_-+e______ The sensitive statesmen who object to the manner in which New York newspapers abuse nfembers of the legislature may de- rive some satisfaction from observing what the editors are doing to one another. —e- There is an evident ambition among some newspapers in New York to wind up a long series of upper-cuts with a blow under the heart. ———_++¢e —___ ‘There were only twu hundred and six men employed on the city post office today. > + —____ SHOOTING STARS.
