It was supposed that all of this concrete had been removed and bet- ter material put in its place, but it appears now t some of it was left, to threaten the integrity of the plastering and perhaps the health of the inhabitants of certain rooms. It was also discovered that because of a lack of foresight on the part of some cen- tral authority the building ts today inade- quately provided with sewering facilities, and that under certain circumstances which may easily recur several times in { that possit slmost certain to be flooded with back water and sewage, slop water and drain- age, transforming that portion of the build- into a veritable cess-pool and prevent- ing the use of the vaults and drains for perhaps days at a time. »st important of all it was discovered this casual inspection that the upper portion ot the building is as clearly a fire- trap sibly be devised in a struc- ture of stone and iron. The roof, as is well as can pe known, is made of boards, covered with te. That alone is cause for apprehen- sion. But the roof is joined by a mass of other inflammable material in preparing » top of this great buiiding for such a holocaust as Washington has never exper- ienced. These facts have nothing to do with the ether considerations affecting this struc- ture, concerning its cost and the length of time which it has occupied in construction. They are directly consequential, however, as they bear upon the health and perhaps the lives of the clerks and citizens who will be obliged to work in and visit the butlding after it bas been placed in commussion. They require immediate remedial attention. The present inadequate windows should be replaced with decent ones; the roots should be made tught against leakage; the sewer- age system should be replaced by another sufficient to care for the drainage; the in- flammable materials in the upper regtons should be ruthiessiy torn out and replaced by fire-proof substitutes. The people of Washington are concerned in this matter both as prospective parti pants in the use of the buildmg and as tax- payers of the nation. They feel that the public money should not be squandered in the erection of tire and death traps such as the conditions found in ts structure show it tu be. ‘They have the mght to demand that steps be taken at once to cure the evident eviis which have been wrought by ofheiai inaitierence and mecoumpetency. — 1900, Th gestion comes trom Ohio, and is said to be ina tor Hanna, that national expansion rather taan tree silver is likely to be ine issue in baw. isnt it a iittie early to be forecasting tue neXt pr dentia: race, either as tw canuia: forms or resuits?

Colonel Roosevelt's eloquent plea for the enlargement and proper maintenance of the regular arm h he uttered last night in New York at the banquet given in honor of General Miles, is probably typical of the timent which today animates nine of ten American citiz who have closely observed the course and the lessons of the war with Spain. He stands today as the ntative of the volunteer forces in campaign, as commander of one of the forem of alr grour t organizations diers in the field. He had ady, how- taken such advanced in praise of the regulars that it was thought he had jeopardized his political chances by the in- idental criticism of the volunteers which involved in hfs utterances. But now citizen-sol- ever, ity is past, and Colonel Roose- velt can be aceused of no political pur- poses in his efforts to create a spirit of active partisanship among the peop for the regular army Coming as they do from one who has observed the facts of which he speaks, who has suffered privation and hardship along with the men he eulogi: who has seen the surrounding circumstar with the eye of a military commande Colonel Roosevelt's words which follow de- serve be brought to the attention of sry man who votes and for every repre- sentative of the people: 1 wish you could realize devotion and endurance of the Americ American reg the bravery, of pain and peril n regular officer and of the r soldier. 1 wish you could have seen the columns going forward to wrest victory from death, knowing that if wounded they would perhaps lie two or days in the jungle wiihout medical and glad to do it for the honor and the glory of the flag.

Th New York democrats who are poor lesers and who whine in defeat are now lambasting Richard Croker for his per- formances during the campaign. They had not a word of censure for him while he was deserving censure. They acquiesced when he shouldered the decent men aside at Syracuse and forced his slate on the cenvention. They entered no protest when he struck at an honest judiciary through his treatment of Judge Daly. They were willing to accept anything at his hands if only he would assure them of success. This he did. He kept them chock-full of as- surance up to the last moment of the each year the basement of the building is] fight. But ne failed, and now these men are loud in their denunciation of his ar- togance and his methods. Denunciation from such sources is not impressive. Richard Croker has done noth- ing not in consonance with his nature and his opportunities. When a man of that kind finds himseif on horseback he is cer- tain to ride. Those who furnish him with @ mount and put him up are to blame for anything that may go wrong. Why should not Mr. Croker have aspired to the con- trol of the state? Why should be have been modest after having been made mas- ter of the metropolis? How was he to be expected to see anything alarming or gro- tesque in his efforts to clothe himself with such pewer as men like Horatio Seymour and Samuel J. Tilden once had wielded? Having for some time had men of sub- stance and education take his orders and do his bidding, why should he not have felt himself competent to deal, with their aid, with the larger situation? There is some talk of overthrowing the boss in the city as punishment for his blunders in this campaign. That will be a very considerable task for any man who undertakes it. The truth is—and it is New York's greatest shame—that Richard Croker has shown more power as the head of Tam- many Hall than any other man who has ever filled the place. John Kelly, hts im- mediate predecessor, was a man of edu- cation, of refinement, of high personal char- acter, and he had some success. But his accomplishments with the organization were small compared with those of this man, who graduated from the gutters and the bar rooms, and first impressed himself on the town in free fights with his bare knucki oe The dominating politicians in New York feel that Governor Roosevelt's conception of his duty will be at fault if he does not insist on a Sunday closing for all wood sheds containing hard cider barrels up Stats. +02 Disappointment in love is said to have driven Aguinaldo to become an insurgent.
