In Conference. The Dist appropriation bill is now be- fore the conferees, and there is no reason to doubt that {t will be finally shaped in ample season for passage before the be- ginning of the coming fiscal year, when It is to take effect. In all 177 amendments were added to the bill by the Senate. Many of these are verbal in their nature. Some, however, affect vital interests. Three sep- arate groups stand conspicuously forth as of the first consequence in comparison with the others. as they relate directly to the urgent public needs of the capital. These are the amendment for the maintenance of the free library, which has been so long delayed; another is the provision for an in- crease in the available water supply through the completion of the aqueduct tunnel and reservoir and for an inquiry into the feasibility and need of filtration: @ third is the series relating to the sewer system, So sadly in need of extensions and improvements. These three sets of changes affect matters that have been urged by the citizens for several sessions. The free library item has been postponed until it has become one of the~standing demands of the District. By no just device can it be excluded from the bill this year. The amendments relating to the water supply und the sewers are so closely related to the health of the city that they should be adopted without question. They are rec- ognized by all authorities as absolutely es- sential, and Congress has before it now merely the question of economy. The wisest view of the case is that the surest economy is a present provision for these necessities, which accumulate in expense as they are postponed from year to year. ‘The water supply items involve no new drain upon the general government, for the amendments so far as the nation Is concerned merely make available the money now lying idle in the treasury, re- ng over from a former appropriation. werage items are so urgent that the question of economy should in no wise be permitted to apply to them. There is much excellent material in the bill as a whole, and it can not be questioned that in the light of the experience of the past the conferees, who are well aware of the needs of the District, will deal justly and wisely this year in their final work on the budget.

Sewer Needs. bill in its generously and 3 regards faciiities f the cap’ sewer syst e of com ct appropriation als far m local in new sewe plaint dangerously 9 an expert com- in- mission was organized to formulate a plan for the general extension of the sewers ensive method of scheme thereby since then in all 1 Congress. ng with the si €rage problem was to appropriate a small svm annually, sufficient to provide for the current needs of the system and to add year a trifling extension, sometimes rs to enter into Tracts and providing for continu- Hotments of money from year to year. this manner much work has been Started that has ultimately cost more than would the case had Congress out! itely at the outset the precise Limita’ rged scheme of opera- tens and given assurance that the nec exch permitting the Commiss large cor ing In have been sary funds would be forthcoming to meet the drafts as the work progressed. One result of this plan has been to permit work to be half done and then doned because of a failure of the ap- Propriations. Much deterioration has re- sulted, and in some cases misfit construc- tions have been evolved. Finally profiting by the lessons of ex- Pertence the citizens proposed to Congress that a broad plan of sewerage extension and disposal should be authorized in gen- eral conformity with the scheme of the sewer commission and that the money for the purpose immediately raised by means of an fssue of bonds. In this man- ner the work would be inaugurated at once with a minimum of loss by reason cf deterioration and a speedy enjoyment of the results. Congress has not given assent to this plan. This year, however, the Senate has weated the sewer needs with a wiser lib- be j perity of the whole country. erality than formerly and-has provided for much of the essential work in a series of important amendments that should assur- edly be retained in the bill by the con- ferees. The Senate increases aggregate $1,026,000, of which $246,00) is appropriated immediately, while $780,000 is provided for in the form of continuing contracts, to be net as the work is advanced. The bill carries in all, for general and extension purposes, the sum of $1,253,000, which ts less than half of the amount that under the broad pian of sewer extension and sewage disposal will ultimately be re- quired. The items are all necessary for the preservation of the general health of the District. They tend toward a removal of some of the evils that have menaced the cepital for several years, and when the work authorized ty the bill as it stands ha$ been finished the city will be well along toward the ideal stage of municipal de- vélopment in the matter of a sewer sys- tem. —_ + +e —___ A Session In Summer. The New York Sun, in some timely ob- servations on the duty of Congress with cespect to Hawatian annexation, says: “Washingtorfis a hot town in July and August; but, as we Nave already remarked, Manila Is hotter. ‘The hottest place of ail, however, will be in the immediate net borhood ‘of any statesman who runs from the thermometer and persor.al comfort while our br and tars are fighting for, their lives and for the fiag under the burnished sun of the tropics.” This point ts exceedingly well taken. It ought to be stated, however, that the heat in Washington at any time does not bear severely on members of Congress. They have the pleasantest place for doing pust!- ness tn the town. The splendid white pile stands on an elevation, catches the Breeze north, squth, east and west, and the alr within 1% walls is from ten to fifteen de- grees cooler than at any other nearby point. Real discomfort on account of the weather is never known there. The Senate chamber in particular is a delightful spot. It has a commanding northern and western exposure. Huge doors and windows open in every cirection. Huge electric fans are“kept constantly whirling in the basement, refreshing effects of which are felt to very roof. The tipple is Apollinaris lemonade, ice cold and on tap in quantities. A short flight of stairs leads down to a restaurant where all the delicacies are served. These provisions for coméort are praise- worthy and entirely weli deserved. Con- gress -is a most important branch of the government. But they should be remem- bered in the comparison between the con- ditions under which Congress is serving and those under which Dewey and his men at Manila and Sampson and his men at Santiago are serving. In the one place “all the comforts of home;” in the other all the ciscomforts of mid-suramer exposure at sea in the tropics. Ic may be suggested that burning black under the sun in the tropics is the os8 Severe punishment than having to listen to a prosy harangue delivered against time; that neither electric fans nor Apollinaris lemonade can relieve the stupefying dullness of a legislative filibusterer in full swing.

Whenever a tariff bill is making in Con- gress and the Sugar Trust puts appear- ance and with characteristic effrontery es- says to dictate terms, attention is widely called to the spectacle. ‘The press de- nounces it, and senators and representa- tives are very chary about ghampioning the Trust’s interests. It is To nobody's credit to appear as the friend and fugleran of a corporation whose exploits have been so rapacious and unscrupulous. Those who play the Trust's hand do so by stealth. And yet at such times the Sugar Trust has a right to be heard as to its interests. Sugar refining Is a legitimate industry. It has a right to reasonable protection under a tariff law drafted on protection line: Phere can be no dispute aS to that. The Sugar Trust with. other American industries. It de- mands the fattest terms of all. It wants a schedule which will enrich it to the utmost possible degree, and put the whole sugar market of the country under its sticky thumb. But what is this in comparison with com- ing here and undertaking to dictate the foreign policy of the government? What 15 this in comparison with coming here at a time when the country is at war w'h a foreign power and undertaking to overrule the advice of Generals Miles and Schofield and Admiral Walker and Captain Mahan as to a measure for the country’s safety? What in the way of cold cheek has ever equaled this effort of the Sugar Trust to subordinate the welfare of th country to the profit and loss account of its generai ledger? Jim Fisk was a man of effrontery in his day, but his genius was parvchial in comparison with that of Havemeyer and Oxnard and Spreckels. He may have want- ed the earth, but he never had the audaci- ty to go before Congress and ask for it And yet there are newspapers and public men whose gorge rises at the mancuvers of the Sugar Trust for an advantageous schedule in a tariff bill, but who can stand to see, and even assist, the Trust fight a measure involving the safety and the pros- Why is this? The Sugar Trust, in striving-for a tariff schedule to its liking, is simply playing the game of business. But in seeking to pre- Vent the annexation of Hawaii it not only far exceeds its functions but takes sides against the government itself. oe Mr. Debs 1s still busy with schemes for remodeling society. He Is apparently so Isorbed in his own hobbies that he will leave the country to settle its interna- tienal problems without his help.

The other day in a debate in the cortes at Madrid a deputy who is described as of high dignity and repute solemnly asked the buke of Almodovar de Rio, the min- ister of foreign affairs, whether it was re- garded in international law as proper to use such expecients in blockading « port as to sink ships In ghe channel or to plant mines. The worthy nobleman as solemnly replied that the authorities were agreed that such actions were indubitably improp- er. This ts a serious discovery, but it 1s difficult to see how the fault can now be remedied. Of cvurse if the United States has unwittingly offended the ethics of war- fare in bottling Admiral Cervera in San- tlago harbor it is greatly to be regretted. The Spanish military authorities shout take caution -from this: expertence and furnish this government with a list of the sins of omission and commission in war that we are expected to avoid. We strive to please. But after all the situation as disclosea vy the colloquy in the cortes, just summarized, is strongly reminiscent of the retort of a man confined in jail to a visitor, who, after hearing the unforlur.ate one’s story, indig- nantly observed that “they could never put you in jail for doing that.” “That may be answered the prisoner, “but I'm Jerry Simpson continues to struggle to reconcile his political fortunes with pros- perous times in Kansas.

Out of the bosom of the human race will come In all ages all that is necessary for continued progress. When- ever we have reached one point of civiliza- tion and come in sight of the next, no roar- ing rivers nor even the pathless ocean can stay our onward course. The riyers will be bridged by human inventions and we shall find a way to build the great ships which will take us all across.” True this is. Never truer than today for the United States. The nation has reached the boundary and limit of its continental progress. On one side it looks on the Pa- cific, on the other on the Atlantic and gulf. Trade, progress and the d>mands and du- ties of civilization beckon it over both. Shall it stop because the past has no precedents and lacks for inventions to meet the statesmanship of the hour? Far other- wise. Let it follow the “consoling doctrine” of Speaker Reed and moye on, annex the Hawaiian Islands, bridge the Pacific with couling stations to “find a way” for “the great ships” of its navy; let its guns speak the hops of the future in Manila Bay, and in Havana harbor let them announce suc- cor, relief and freedom. Our past was great but our future must be made greater, not by standing still but by going forward. Next Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock when ihe Hous? votes on the annexation of Hawaii we trust this most “consoling doc. trine” will be uppermost in Mr. Reed’s most philosophie mind. Sincere, patriotic, dedi- cated to the public service, loving his coun- try and anxious to serve her, he has op- posed the annexation of Hawail, as many a sincere New Englander before him op- posed the annexation of Louistana, of Texas and of California. The great current of national destiny was against them. In this one matter {t is against him.

From the Chicago Trivune. A significant result of the first day's de- bate was the fact brought out that the democratic members, with their usual fa- cility in doing the wrong thing at exactly the right time, are manifesting a disposi- tion to take ground against this war meas- ure, just as their predecessors took ground against the most important waf measures in the first years of the civil war—a policy for which their successors have not yet got through apologizing. Judging of the future by the past, the democratic statesmen of today will have to pass through a similar period of apology. —_~++e___ One of Their Usual Blunders, Washington Dispatch to the Philadelphia Press, ‘The democrats are evidently making one of their usual blunders. in opposing as a party the acquisition of Hawatl.
