The District appropriation bill, which is to be taken up by the Senate next Monday for consideration, now embodies a gratify- ing number ef aids toward the accom- plishment of several of the most important Projects for local betterment. Of course the bill has vet to pass the Senate, and must then run the gauntlet of the confer- ence between the houses, and so it may be shorn of some of its most valuable fea- tures, though experience warrants the be- lief that the Senate will resist stubbornly all attempts to this end. The list of ad- vances is exceptionally satisfactory. The start made on the accomplishment of the sewage disposal project is generous, the sum named fer the works outlined being as liberal as could be expected while the improvement is heing considered as sub- ject to piece-meal appropriations. The completion of the aqueduct tunnel and the inquiry inte filtration meet with the heart- lest public appreval, while the provi- sion for maintaining the municipal Hbrary has gratified every class of residents of the capital. The appropriation for one large manna) trainirg school is in the direction of aiding the public school system of the District te retain its present high standard among the cities of the country. A joint resolution, favorably reported, gives # start to anether important project, the reclamation the Anacostia flats. The Dill which seeks to provide an equit- able legislative enactment concerning plans of street extension, by ameadment of tie hignway act, is before the Senate District committee in such shape that there seem to be good prospects of action in the near future. The subcommittee now considering the case ts making «cellent progress, and there is a belief that the full committee will soon report the bill favorably. This bill represents the view of the Commis- sioners and the Board of Trade, and the sentiment of the citizens has noticeably centered in support of {ts propositions. The resolutions adopted by the Board of ‘Trade at its meeting December 20 last de- clared that: “Proportionate contribution by the United States, under the act of 1878, is a vital teature of this amendatory iegislation, and it the elimination of section fifteen cannot be otherwise secured the whole highway act should be repealed.” This declaration unquestionably repre- sents public opinion today, and is the basis of all the present efforts. There is reason to believe that the Senate can enact the pending bill at the present session in such season as to give the House time for its cersideretion if that body should be co disposed. There are. however, forebodings in some quarters that the House will not act, and.a disposition is observed here and there to urge that it is useless to proceed further with the effort to secure the pas- sege of the bill based upon the declaration just quoted. There is nothing positively krown to justify such forebodings. As the record stands teday the Senate has no reason to expect that its work will be nulli- fied by the refusal of the House to con- cur. Indeed there should never be the least dependence im action by one house upon the probabilities of action by the other. If this were the rule, if a bill were never to be passed Lecause there were pessible chances against concurrent action ac the other end of the Capitol, the sum- tetal of legislation would be insignificant ard inadequate. h branch of Congress must act upon iis cwn conscientious judg- ment of what is wise and just, unintluenced by guesses at the probable course of the oiher body. The citizens of District should stand together in fighting for the amendment of the highway act along the lines of the Board of Trade’s resolution and the Com- missioners’ indersements. The vital prin- e’ple contained in the demand for the re- peal of the fifteenth section, with its mis- eh’eveus certaisties of future trouble, is never to be jost sight of in the desire for suitable suburban street plans and for speedy street extersions. The choice is squarely between the repeal of section fifteen and the repeal of the whole act The issue ts clearly defined. No other alternative cau safely be proposed. see --—__ Good Roads and Natural Beauties. Yesterday the explosion of a few thousand 1 3 of dynamite caused the destruction of Indian Head, one of the most famous and picturesque land-marks on the Hudson river. This act was inspired by the com- reial spirit that today respects few or no features of nature. Within a few months perhaps werks the material of which indian Head was once composed will be found on the read= around New York city. doing good servics to be sure but never- theless transferred to utilitarian purposes at a heavy sentimental cost. The process of disfiguring the Hudsor will in all likeli- heed continue until the river bank has been reduced to paving material and has been rebbed of its unique and beautiful charac- r ucless the state or perhaps Congress sbeuld intervene to prevent further inroads upon the palisades. This intervention now seems improbable, for the demand for rock for road-makirg is arparently far more in- sistent than the demand for a legislative check upen vandalism. ——_ _+ee —_ Washington gas-consumers who nightly pray for more ight from their expensive iluminant are naturally pleased with the syndicate proposal! of Leiter gas and Leiter gas-bills. 212. ‘The interest in Hawaiian annexation may temporarily obscured by greater mat- But there is no danger that the 1s- » will be moved away. —__-- + e- -—___ Dividing the Sound Money Forces. be ters an The gold democrats of Pennsylvania in considering the quastion of nominating state and Congress tickets of their own tnls year consulted Mr. Cleveland, and in Yeply recetved the following letter: “1 hope most sincerely that there may be # sound money movement tn Pennsylvania that will be strong and useful. I cannot account for the arrogant confidence of the iree silver forces, except upon the theory that they are led to believe that there is very little aggressive effort to be made by their opponents. It is a strange tning that the apparent apathy in many of our sound money states should give plaust! ) a belief. If any one believing w poses that free silver can be preve mm controlling the two houses of the next a bard work, the quicker he abatdons that iaea the more useful he will be as a suund money man. “I am so earnest in my desire to see cur country blessed with safe money and a suitable financial system thai I am of the vpsnion we ought to give patrivtic and con- sistent support to any plan which insures this result, and which has the elements that promise its successful advocacy,” A decision has been reathed, and 4 sepa- late campaign by the gold democrats of the state will be made. Mr. Cleveland's advice is most surprising, ud plays directly imto the hands cf the silver men. “The arrogant confidence of the free sliver forces,” which gives him such concern, grows out of thelr hope that, for one cause or anuther, the sound inoney forces will divide this year, in that way Gissipate their strength, and open a clear path to silver. And they will not he disap- pointed if Mr. Cleveland’s counsels prevall throughout the Union. ‘This same question was presented two years ago. Gold democrats in Pennsyl- vania and elsewhere were embarrassed by the situation that confronted them. They would not support Mr. Bryan, and they hesitated about turning to Mr. McKinley. Thinking that the republicans would win easily, they put up, as a refuge ‘or them-' selves, the ticket of Palmer and Buckner. But as the campaign progressed it became apparent that if the silver forces were to be defeated a unicn of the sound :noney forces must be effected. As a consequence, the great bulk of the gold democrats, instead of wastirg ther strength in support of the third ticket, supported Mr. McKinley. Oth- erwise, Mr. Bryan, instead of Mr. McKin- ley, would today be President of the United States. A separate movement by the gold demo- crats threatens the sound money cause this year as it did two years ago. The repub- liean party, by the decision rendered in the presidential race, ts carrying the sound money flag. It stands for that cause. If it is defeated, silver wins. It can only be suc- cessful by polling for its nominces the full sound money strength. And yet Mr. Cleve- land advises a course which, if generally followed, must inevitably turn over the next House to the free silver men by a large majority. Z —_++s—____ ‘The Views ef the Survivors. The statement comes both from Ha- vana and Key West that the survivors of the crew of the Maine, officers and men, are firmly of the belief that’ the ship was destroyed by an explosion from without. Nobody is quoted by name because of the official injunction as to silence, but the Statement finds much credit, and ‘the re- port of the court of inquiry is expected to verify it. The reply to this in pro-Spanish circles is that these men are simply trying to shield themselves. - Their bellef is declared to be of no value. They fear the possible consequences of a report ascribing the catastrophe to an accident from within the ship, for the reason that such a report might carry with it the suggestion, if not the charge, of lax discipline on board. But the fair and more logical view is that these men, knowing the conditions on ship board, as also the feeling in the har- bor against the ship, can find no other explanation fer the ship’s loss. As they must reason, how was it possible, with everything on board in good order and the discipline perfect, for the explosion to have taken place from within? On the other hand, with feeling running high in Havana against the Maine, it was by no means impossible for some miscreant, act- ing under the orders of a fiendish faction, to arrange and explode a submarine mine. Knowing, therefore, the care taken for safety within the ship, and the possible dangers to which she was exposed from without, those of her crew who survive her destruction hold naturally and properly, it is easy to believe, to the opinion de- sertbed. Captain Sigsbee stands in no danger of censure. The case would appear to be already decided so far as he is concerned. He carried himself well from the day he arrived at Havana to the very hour of the trouble, and from that time to the present his conduct has been admirable. The testimony of no other witness exam- ined by the court will, when the proceed- ings are published, be more interesting than his, and ‘f he.holds that the Maine was the victim of foul play the opinion will have very great weight with the coun- try. He lost bis ehip, but he has not lost his head or the respect of his countrymen at any stage of the proceedings. Telephones and Directories. The telephone company claims that a druggist cannot permit a customer to use the telephone in his store gratultuously, but that the customer must pay a certain excessive rental for this privilege. ‘The telephone in a drug store is in about the same class, as regards its usefulness, as the copy of the city directory that each druggist is careful tc procure cach year. ‘The druggist has littie personal need for a telephone. In his cwn business he prob- ably has less Cirect need than a majority of other tradesmen. He subscribes, how- ever, because his store is a center of cer- tein neighborhood interests and he knows wher: he engages the ‘phone that it will be an attraction to probable customers, by serving as a convenience. The druggist likewise subscribes ‘o the annual edition of the city directory for essentially the same purpose, not that he hes any especial need to ascertain persona! addresses, but he krows that his customers will be accom- modated by the volume and its presence will draw people into his store. The two devices are essentially alike in their func- tions in such a place. The telephone com- pany, by virtue of its mechanical equip- ment, is able to watch over all users of the "phones and is thys empowered to check what it terms the “improper” use of the system. The directory publisher, however, has no such opportunity to restrict the use of the directory to those persons who have paid him the subscription. ‘The limi- tation upen the surveillance he can ex- ercise are too positive to permit any such restriction. He could, of course, lock the book in a box and provide a sort of penny- in-the-slot device for deriving a revenue from the general use of the lisis, but this project would raise a tremendous rumpus.

In another part of today’s issue of The Star will be found an interesting and valu- able article on the trees of Washington, by Mr. Wm. R. Smith, whose long experience in charge of the Botanic Gardens gives bim ample authority to spé&k on this subject. One reference in the course of his sug- @estions and advice is worthy of especial remark at this time, when congressional attention is being directed to the need of action respecting the reclamation of the flats of the Eastern branch of the Potomac. Mr. Smith says, in reference to a certain kind of poplar: “The to which they belo Sali- p> pay) and in various ie be are can- es for ee ‘high honors of quinine sa, fever. - As a preven- @ cure for THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, MARCH 5, 1898-24 PAGES, ern side of the city the situation is different, somewhat resembling the famous recipe for hare soup. Stil Mr. Smith evidently believes that much good could be done by the planting of these trees in the marshes, before thelt reclamation by the dredging of the so-called channels and the deposition on the higher areas of the alluvial sub- stances that aid the production of malaria at present, and that they would aid instead of impeding this reclamation. The citizens especially desire the direct improvement of these swamps by processes similar to those employed on the Potomac side, and it is to this end that they are working and for this that they are hoping and praying. Some- where on the calendar of the Senate rests a joint resolution approved by the Senate District committee, providing for the in- stitution of an inquiry into the cost of the project of reclaiming the flats, and it is the hope that this enactment may reach the President before adjournment. Meanwhile it might be well for the authorities, either of the District or of the nation, to plant there some poplars and willows. + = ____ When it is intimated that the de Lome letter was stolen by a postal employe and that the Maine was blown up by some ir- responsible person, the Cubans might be justified in a few comments on the bandits and outlaws in Havana. ; ——_++-e____ There is no doubt that the bull fight ‘s demoralizing in more ways than one.

The year between March 4, 1897, and March 4, 1898, reveals William McKinley as a patriotic American, a cautious but firm executive, a conciliatory but self- reepecting politician in his relations with Congress, a pronounced but unfactional republican in his relations with his party, a consistent protectionist in his economic convictions, a courageous friend of civil service reform and of currency reform and an official who, knowing war as a soldier and loving peace as a citizen, cul- tivates the things which make for peace in the spirit and attitude of our government, while not unmindful of the duty of readi- ness ‘for war which emergencies, neither of our creation nor of our choosing, have ferced upon the national attention.
