Where Mr. Bryan Stands. ‘Those democrats in New York who are outspoken in their continued allegiance to the Chicago platform, and who are openty conderaning Tammany’s attempt to avoid the silver issue in the local campaign, have. warrant for their attitude. That is to say, they have their national leader behind them. Colonel William L. Brown may con- tinue to keep Mr. Bryan's letter to him on the subject of Tammany's duty in his pocket, but that will not hide Mr. Bryan's real sentiments. They crop out from other quarters, and have just cropped out from a quarter from which they may be applied directly to New York. ‘The Massachusetts democrats are men after Mr. Bryan's own heart. Although they executed so sudden a right-about-face last year on the silver question, now that they are facing toward silver they are proud of their position. They resort to no chicanery or concealment, but still declare for silver, straight up and down. That pleases Mr. Bryan, and he telegraphs his congratulations. The message was de- served, and was worthy of a leader who is himself outspoken. A difference may be drawn, of course, between the situation in Massachusetts and that in New York. The democrats in the one state have no show whatever. They are marching to certain and overwhelming defeat. Tammany has a chance to win. In tact, if the opponents of the tiger do not get together, bad as Tammany's record is, and great as the stake is to those who value good government for Greater New York, Tammany is likely to win. But this is not a distinction that Mr. Bryan can afford to draw. He stands for a definite policy, having relation to the whole country, and to every part of the country. Nebraska and Massachusetts, New York and Iowa, Maine and Texas, all alike are interested, this year the same as last year, ard will continue to be alike interested while Mr. Bryan remains the éemocratic national leader. His hold upon the loyalty of democrats, as well as upon the personal respect of the men who oppose him, is founded in his frankness and sincerity. He would dethrone himself at once if he were to undertake to “monkey” with the silver issue. Tammany “monkeys” with it. Tam- many “monkeys” with the Ten Command- ments. But Mr. Bryan rebukes Tammany through his congratulations to the demo- crats of Massachusetts. —~r>—____ The Power House Site. The citizens of Washington are proud of the broad avenue that extends between the Capitol and the group of government struc- tuces around the Executive Mansion. They have long hoped for the consummation of the project for the dedication of the south side of this fine street to national purposes, and were gratified when the “city” post office was located in a commanding position on that area. The character of the avenue, its associations and its surroundings all contribute to make it advisable that only the best specimens of architecture be erected upon it, and with this in mind it is mow the general hope that if the Capital ‘Traction Company should decide to aban- dom the site of its lately burned power house, as a result of a change of motive power, the ground will be taken by some purchaser with sufficient means to cause the erection of such a building as the site and its environments demand. The govern- aent is pre-eminently capable of ensuring such a result, especially now that the Treasury Department is taking steps to better the quality of its constructions. But whether the government or any other wealthy purchaser should appear, the de- sire of the citizens is that the site may be improved according to its requirements it is piain that if the land is permitted to go to a number of individual owners it will revert to much the same condition as that which prevailed befora it was acquired by the traction company and developed by the aorporation, in accordance with its enter- prising and public-spirited policy. How- ever handsome the single structures erected by such owners may be, the general effect will not accord with the demands of the Situation for broad treatment, such as would be ensured by the government's en- terprise or that of some such purchaser as the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, which is now suggested as a possible buyer of the ground. But whatever may be the fate of the ground, whether it is taken by the nation, by some large private corpora- tion, or built upon anew by its present own- ers, it is the general wish of the citizens of the capital that so conspicuous a site should be ultimately Improved in the line of the character of the street on which it practically fronts and of the general archi- tectural tendency of the city with respect to its large buildings. Whatever is done should be on the basis of the new Wash- ington, which sets a high standard and will be satisfied with no abatement. —_—- + ee _____ The slow and overcrowded horse cars on the avenue recall the inconveniences of by- gone days und cause the public to appreci- ate justly the enterprising labors of those who have brought unobjectionable rapid- transit to Washington, among whom the Washington and Georgetown compaay was the pioneer. — +e = ___ ‘The rumor of General Weyler’s resigna- tion may have been dve to an impression that he may be needed in Spain to pacify the Carlists. ——_+ +e --—__ It is to be feared that the candidacies of both Mr. Low and Mr. George will prove to be of “slow-burning construction.” ——_-- + =. ___ The Ohio Senatorship. Report is busy again with John R. Mc- Lean’s candidacy for the United States Senaie. Again it is asserted that he will ot stand for the office, and again the story is denied. Mr. McLean has never formally announced himself for the place, but opin- ion has been general that he desired it, ard that his object in going to Ohio and giving perconal attention to the campaign was to forward that ambition. The only an- nounced candidate is ex-Congressman A. J. Warner, prominent in the Bimetailic League. But General Warner, although a man of ability and earnestness, has hardly the hold en the Ohio democracy necessary to capture so great a prize in the event of it coming within the scope of contest among demccrats. Mr. McLean, upon thé whole, has had a stormy time since his appearance on the scene in Obio. He is an aggressive man, and has long been prominent in the politics of the state. Even while residing in Wash- ington ke Aas kept closely in touch with local affairs there, and wes so easily the master of the situation that he controlled the state’s delegation to the Chicago con- vention. He likewise had the support of the delegation wher "is name was ballotted for at Chicage for President and Vice Pres- ident. The present organization of the ‘party im Ohio is in his nands. The chair- man is his personal friend, and the com- mittee is under his influence. Naturally, therefore, Mr. McLean's figure looms large on the buckeye horizon. As the head of his party, as a man of known ambition and large means, it is easy to associate him with this senatorial race. He will probably continue, too, to be con- sidered a senatorial candidate, notwith- standing the stories that he has no inten- tion of entering the race. The legislative cardidates are all in the field, many of the democrats are known to favor Mr. McLean for the Senate, and nothing would appear to be more probable than that in the evert of democratic success at the polls Mr. McLean, by reason of his promi- nence and power, will be found striving for the prize. The case is somewhat similar to that of Mr. Gorman in Maryland. An effort is made to induce anti-Gorman democrats to support silver candidates for the legisla- ture upon the assurarce that Mr. Gor- man will not enter the senatorial race. But those for whom the assurance is in- tended refuse to accept the statement. The same play may have no better success in Obio.” Mr. MeLean is so easily the lead- his people that there is in fact a Holy War under way, a thing that has hereto- fore lacked any measure of official confir- mation. The fine is a mere incidental, and England can have no guarantee that it will ever be enforced and collected. Eng- jand cares little whether it is collected or not. Her chief desire now is to have the Afghans kept at home in peace. Inas- much as the five thousand rupees would go in any event to enrich the treasury of the Ameer it is of little consequence to the Queen how many zealots in Afgaan pay this large sum for the privilege of partici- pating in the religiods strife that has at last been definitely acknowledged to exist. As a straddler the Ameer is a great sac- cess, Cornwell sells the best at the lowest price. A Dozen Reasons is advisable and profitable.

Municipal ownership of street railway franchises promises to be a most important factor in the mayoralty campaign in Greater New York this year. The repubi cans, the Citizens’ Union independents, the Henry Georgites and the straight dem- ocrats have all expressed themselves more or less guardedly upon the subject, the platform of each tending toward this end. There may be questions raised as to the sincerity of -some of these protestations, but it is significant that there should be a practically unanimous call for the future regulation of public franchises in such Tanner that the municipality will secure greater benefits than heretofore. Tam- Mmany’s case is pecutiar in this regard. It endorses the municipal ownership of fran- chises to placate the followers of Henry George, who represents this idea squarely. At the same time Tammany refraincd from erdorsing the free silver plank of the Chi- cago platform, as that course would almost surely alienate the men of great wealth to whom the organization now looks for its campaign fund. Some of these men are deeply interested in street railway «pera- ticns in the city and expect many addi- ticnal favors from the new city govern- ment. Most of the original franchises are now secured but there are certain exten- sions to be made, valuable privileges to be gained and other favors that would be well worth the investment of a good round sum in the campaign fund. But these projects Becatise our delivery service is the best. Because goods ae always returnable when not satisfactory. Because the satisfaction of our cus- tomers is our chief concern. Because we never take advantage of the inexperienced. Because YOU can save Time, Temper and MONEY. ACS & ‘ic. Cornwell ¥, % WHOLESALE AND RETAIL GROCERS, 1412-1414-1418 Penn. Avenue.

WILLIAM: with the delicate task of proving t it is not fooling one or the other of the factions that it is seeking to charm into voting the straight ticket—the municipal ownership people, who form a large and growing class of citizens, and the cupitalists, whose material interests are vitally opposed to such a propaganda. ——_—e+____ Wire Legislation Needed. Capt. Eurr’s remarks about the wires now strung overhead in this city, in the course of his annual report as assistant engineer Commissioner of the Dtstrict, are timely and to the point. He puts the mat- ter briefly thus: “General and systematic legislation upon the subject of the removal of overhead wires and the provision of underground conduits for their receotion should be re- quested of Congress at its next session. The existing conditions are recognized by all interested parties as but temporary. They are restrictive of growth in many directions in which electric light and power facilities should be extended, and make no Provision at all for the removal of existing, unsightly and obstructive masses of over- head wires.” This is an everlastig question in its pres- ent phase. It arises at every session to perplex the legislators and to revive the hopes of the citizens that perhaps some solution will be reached in the form of a definite arrangement based upon a statute that will bury every electric conductor within the city and within part of the Dis- irict beyond the city limits. Many ele- ments enter ito the case to complicate it, notably the rivalry between the electric power-producing concerns, and this private quarrel is allowed to tie the hands of the Commissioners and to a degree of the Dis- trict committeemen In the two houses who are anxious to rid the city of these dis- figuring and dangerous encumbrances. A solution would be easy to reach if the in- terests of the city alone were considered as the moving factor. Capt. Burr’s recom- mendation should te literally followed. ——_++< Don’t Lose | ‘Your Hair. | _ It’s so much easier to PRE- SERVE your hair than.to re- store it, after it has fallen out.

The muse of pocsy is dead; in vain do men enthuse O’er the glories that are dawning in the woods where autumn hues Are answering, half-reluctant, to the sea- son's potent call. The melancholy bard must hang his harp upon the wall. What though the golden glosses shine and purple hazes rise, While crimson blends to make a fine con- fusion for our eyes? The era of utility has wrought upon each soul Till we'd rather see the blackness ofan honest ton of coal. ————++e___ His Distinction. From the Springfield Republican. The Tammany nomination for mayor of New York is that of a man who would un- Gcubtediy prove a pliable creature in the hands of Croker and Sheehan. Robert A. Van Wyck has social standing, for his fam- ily have lived in New York for two cen- 4 turies, and in this respect he is a man whom the Tammany leaders would nat- urally seek in order to give social eclat to their ticket. He became a city justice through the favor of Tammany in 1889 and is now presiding justice of the city court. His personal character may be of the high- est, yet no other of the candidates for the mayoralty has ever been arrested “for drunk and disorderly ccnduct.” For Jan- uary 28, 1890, the blotter of the 13th streat police station has this entry: “Robert A. Van Wyck, judge, forty-two years old, arrested for drunk and disor- derly conduct at 4 a.m. today, on complaint of Frank Flyrn of No. 32 East 26th street.” The judge had been to the notorious “French ball” that evening, where he was arrested. He was released the next morn- ing by Justice Andy White, and he claimed that the arrest was wholly unjustifiable. But there is the record--French ball and the item on the blotter. At any rate, how eminently fitted is Robert A. Van Wyck to be the first mayor of Greater New York! and he may be, thanks to Svengali. ————~++2—___ The Grent Liner. New York Cor. Philadelphia Press.
