Senator Platt of New York has intro- @uced a bill in Congress that involves a serious consideration of the question how far a state or the nation should go in preserving the natural beauties of the landscape. It proposes to create a na- tional park along the banks of the Hudson tiver bordered by the famous palisades. These magnificent bluffs are now owned by a company of men who are disposed to regard them as merely furnishing mater- fal for their business purposes. They are at present engaged in blasting certain portions of the rocks out of place and into small bits, preparatory to using the stone for paving purposes. The residents of the metropolis are shocked, physigally and sentimentally, by the destruction with dynamite of huge portions of these tstoric cliffs, which have given the Hudson river ene of its chief charms. There is no way to prevent this vandalism save through the intercession of the state or the gov- ernment and to this end the pending bill ‘Was presented to the Senate. The ques- tion is as to how far this process can log- feally and safely be carried. The nation bas wiscly undertaken to preserve the Yellowstone region in its original beauty without permitting it to become a com- mercial commodity. It has done the same for tie Yoremite canon and for some areas in California containing the giant tree srowths that have contributed to the fame of that state. In addition there are many large timber reserves that are not chiefly intended as preservations of the landscape. The government has Itke- wise set apart as national parks certain spaces made historic by the battles that were fought upon them, such as Gettys- = burg and Chickamauga. It has encouraged in many ways this idea of keeping the beauties of the land from the disfiguring encroachments of man. Locally the Rock Creek and Zoological: parks are instances of this policy. Meanwhile several states have contributed their shares to the ef- fort. New York has had the most notable opportunity in this regard, having re- served the land around the falls of Niagara as a state park, while the Dominion gov- ernment across the river has done the same thifg for the Canadian shore, thus preserving the vicinity of the cataract from too close a contact with commer- cial environments. It may be questioned whether the palisades of the Hudson are properly within the national sphere of Preservation, as against that of the state within which they fall. The Hudson is a national feature, however, at one point on its reach a boundary between two states, and {it figures prominently® in American history as the highway of early commerce and discovery. If anything is to be done to keep It from disfigurement it should be done soon, for it will not require many more blasts of giant powder and dynamite to destroy the entire sky-line of the wesi- ern bank of the Hudson which now gives to that stream’ its fame as one of the world’s grandest rivers. —_—_—__+ «+ _____ A Wise Decision in Indiana. The intelligence comes from Indiana that the gold democrats of that state are still holding aloof from the silver democrats. The Bryan men are preparing to reorgan- ize town and courty committees, bat the gold men will not assist in the work, or become committed in any way. Evidently, they are still keeping the silver question in mind, and are seeking to avoia all entangle- ments for the future. That fs an entirely logical position. Demo- crats who refused to support Mr. Bryan for President on the Chicago platform have no reasonable excuse for returning to the party now. The silver question is still un- settled. Indeed, it is as much of a question now as it was in the campaign of 1896. It is certain to be the issue, open and de- clared, in this year’s Congress campaigns. Mr. Bryan will again head the procession of stumpers urging upon the country the adoption of free silver coinage at 16 to 1 as an independen: act by this government. So that the activity of the silver demo- crats in any state looking to strengthening the party organization for this year's fight is directly in the interests of the silver cause. Gold democrats cannot assist in the work without giving aid and comfort to that cause. Now and then the charge is made that the republicans since their return to power have carried themselvcs in affairs so as to make it difficult for their democratic allies to remain longer with them. This upon ex- amination does not appear to be well founded. The republicans since taking of- fice nave done nothing which they did not publicly promise to do while they were seeking power. They could not have done less and have kept faith with the country. They certainly were not expected to violate their promises. At any rate they have not done so, ana that fact will entitle them to consideration at the pespie’s hands in the approaching contest. They will pledge , and again ask to be be- lieved. Republican performances so far have been upon the line of promises made. There are divisions in the party about things still to b@ attempted, but they have for some time cS The President, however, who stands at the head of the sound money cause, has shown a scrupulous regard for the platform upon which he was elected, and is entitled to the support of all men who helped to put him inte power. For them to fail or refuse to support him while he deserves so well would be less of an in- jury to him than to the best interesis of the country. = —_____+- 0» _____ Hawaii and Alaska. The fact of the acquisition of Alaska by the United States has frequently been noted during the discussion of the Ha- waiian annexation proposition as indicating that there is an ample precedent for the joming of territory not contiguous to the United States. Alaska is now quoted fur- ther in the case, as a reason why Hawaii should be promptly annexed. The grounds for this suggestion are given clearly and fercibly in the course of the latest letter to The Ster from its correspondent at Hon- olulu, who displays a close acquaintance with the facts and statistics bearing on the situation. ‘Kamehameha’ shows that in the event of disagreement between the United States and any power with a fleet in the Pacific the Alaskan trade, which promises to become voluminous far beyond all expectations of the past, would be se- riously menaced as long as Hawali re- mains without the American union. But with that natural base of supplies and operations securely held by this govern- ment the Alaskan commercial fleet would be given protection against any foe. The Statements of The Star's correspondent are of particular value at the outset of the dis- cussion of the annexation treaty in the Senate. ————»>2e—____ The antagonists to the idea of selling light wines and beer in the new library building are alive to the difficulty which sometimes arises in appreciating food for thought when there are liquid refreshments about. ted. —_—__+ ++ _____ Possibly the disposition of some of the Ohio, legislaters to wobble is due to the fact that they are beginners in the art of balancing themselves on political machines. —> +2—__—__ It ts thought that about all that will be left of interest to memento seekers in Co- lumbus, Ohio, next week will be a col- lection of cast-off barrel staves. ———- + «= ____ Mr. Leiter is still firm in his determina- tion to show that wheat is a much better thing for a young man to devote himself to than wild oats. 2 Mr. Bryan is undoubtedly one of the men who are ahead of their times. The only date to which he pays attention is 1900. —__ «+__ Short-Weight Coal. The thorough investigation of the charge that short-weight coal has been sold to the District government for use in the schools should bring good results to the private consumers of that commodity. There is no practical method within reach of such purchasers to ensure full weights in miscellaneous delivertes. The moral effect of occasional tests is all that the householder can rely upon to be reason- ably sure that he is getting value for his money. He cannot weigh the coal de- ltvered to bira, nor, as a rule, can he in- stitute such comparisons as caused the dis- covery of the short weights in the school supplies. To the end that the law may have its full effect in this particular there should be in- stituted a system of inspections and tests conducted by the officials of the District. Just as in the case of the bakers, who are subject to occasional tests of the weight of their loaves, so the coal dealers should be visited once in a while for examinations. It will not do to rely upon the accuracy of scales. The test must be more direct than that. The only practical way to conduct an inquiry is for properly authorized offi- clals to detain loaded carts in transit through the streets long enough to weigh the load as it stands and thus to make pos- sible a comparison with the record that each driver should carry with him of the amount he is supposed to be delivering, to- gether with the weight of the hauling device. The thorough investigation of this el- leged instance of short-delivery should by all means be followed, in case of a demonstration of deliberate fraud, by such a prosecution and punishment as will stand as an emphatic warning to all deal- ers that the law must be respected. The government seems to be fairly well pro- tected by withheld balances to cover the tuspected shortages, but the moral effe>t of the inquiry and prosecution is of far more consequence than the mere guarding of the fund for school fuel. The law was passed net only for the benefit of the Dis- trict government, but for the protection of every citizen as well. —roo—__\_ The manner in which estimates in Ohio fluctuate both weys is enough to convince the observer at a glance that Mr. Grosvenor is not exerting himself in that vicinity. —__++2—___ Senator Mason is still in an optimistic mood concerning his plan of convincing the genators collectively that they talk too much individually. SHOOTING STARS. Counting Up. “I don't mean to intimate,” said Mr. Meekton, “that you want any more than your share. But, supposing that women were admitted to suffrage; what would you do with your two votes?” “My two votes?” “Yes. Yours and mine." Shifting Opinion. “This life ever merry, Uncertain is, very,” A gay politician once said. “One day I’m a sinner, The next I'm a winner, With halos all over my head.” Particulars Desired. “I see those two pugilists are to have an- other encounter,” said one sporting man. “Indeed!” responded the other. “How is it to be; by rounds or paragraphs?” A.Test of Previous Experience. “You say you are an experienced collec- tor?” said the man who wanted an em- ploye. “Yes, sir.”” “Have the patience, energy and knowl- edge that go to equip a man for such a PDo- sition?” “Yes.” “Well, I'll see how much practice you've had. Come outside with me, and let me watch you go through my new set of storm doors.”” His Promise. “And you will never think of letting me build the kitchen fire?” she said, as she shook the rice out of her Parasol. “No,” he answered, earnestly; “I never will. If it becomes necessary, we'll move the stove out in the dining room.” The Soctety “Cake Walk.” Oh, bring yoh gold-trimmed razzer "long, We wants no common steel.

From the New York Times. « The publication of the entire list of 976,- 000 names in a newspaper would be im- practicable. Newspaper publication, more- over, would be ineffective. It brings the names to the attention of only a small frac- tion of the people. Neighboxhood publica- tion is the only effective method. If in every post office in the country there were posted the names of all pensioners recelv- ing their mail at that office, with the amount of their pensions, all the friends and neighbors of each pensioner waquld be informed of two things—first, that his name was on the list, and that he drew a certain monthly sum. Reference to the printed ab- stract of the law, which ought also to be posted with this list, would show to what class of pensioners he belonged and in gen- eral the extent of the disability on which his claim was based. If it was discovered that a robust fellow was on the list at the total disability rate, drawing $72 a month on the ailegation that he required regular aid and attendance, the fraud would be instantly apparent. —_>+>___ How It Looks. From the New York Mail and Express. The eleven Baltimore members of the Maryland legislature who were elected as republicans, but who joined with the demo- crats to organize the house, furnish another illustration of the evil influence of spoils in politics. There is no principle involved in their action, which is inspired only by the greed for control of petty state house patronage and desirable committee appoint- ments. But their treachery may have a train of more serious consequences. The candidacy of Judge McComas for the seat of Senator Gorman is imperiled, and al- ready Gorman has revived his hope of re- election to the place from which the people of Maryland have ousted him. ————q67s>42____ Let the Public Know. From the New York Herald. The people willingly submit to taxation for the benefit of those who are entitled to pensions, but it 1s a crying shame to filch funds from the heavily burdened toilers for the benefit of impostors. By all means make the lists public. Let every commu- nity krow who are the persons to whom honor is due, as well as those who are parading under false colors. No honest veteran, ro woman or child who rightly inherits such a veteran's claim need fear to forfeit the respect and esteem of néigh- bors. On the contrary, thé publication will be a claim to the honor of the community. Publish the pension lists. Let us know the true and the false. ——sreo——_“— England Must Die! From the London Spectator. ‘The truth remains that Europe {s not yet sufficiently civilized for federation, that if it is a family of brothers they are, to bor- row Jerrold’s joke, all Cains and Abela, and that if China were partitioned by agreement tomorrow they would next week be fighting over the division of the spoil. We do not suppose anybody will mistake our meaning, but still we will boil it down into an index line. This country is full for tcday. Let it eat no more till tomorrow, unless it is prepared for blood-letting by a dector who calls his lancet “the conscrip- tion.” ——_- +e —_____ Hawali’s Importance, From the Minneapolis Times.
