The President places this project on a most satisfactory basis, giving it the character of a naifonal event, to be cel- ebrated by all the country, as well as b the residents of the present Washington. ‘To this end he proposes that Congress not only appropriate a sum of money for the purpose of the centennial and appoint com- mittees representing the two houses, but also that steps be taken to bring into the affair representatives of the states, to give the sion the broadest possible scope and significance. These recommendations, bearing fruit, will insure such a celebra- tion as the occasion demands, and will af- ford the country an opportunity to contrast the capital's beginnings with the present cliy, which is even now only a promise and token ernment which will with will will or ef the municipal achievements as sured.

Aside from the municipal building, which is not provided for in the estimates, ine the E canal. It ts less than a month since the election took place which largely hinged on the cana) tssue, and a full month before the new administration then chosen takes hold, and yet steps are in progress to bring the officials accused into court to answer charges, and the princi- pal one, at bis own request, has been sus- varions ¢ pended from office. The state is thus as- zred of a thorough judicial investigation of the whole affair. This is a worthy record to make in the way of keeping campaign promises. ‘Tam- many had no other issue. It was dodging silver, dodging national expansion and blowing hot and cold on the subject of the war, but it clung to the charges about a large canal steal and made the most of them. Of course, Tammany was horrified, and of course it demanded to be charged with the duty of punishing the guilty and cleaning up generally the department of publie works. Colonel Roosevelt met the issue without hesitation. He pledged himself, if elected, to have the whole matter sifted to the bottom without fear or favor, so that if the blame attached to individuals they might be punished, if to the system of business it might be reformed. The people decided to intrust the matter to the repub- licans rather than to the Tammanyized democracy, and this action justifies the confidence then expressed. It is always a good thing to see a party brave enough to undertake the correction of its own abuses or shortcomings. No party ever was or ever will be perfect, Abuses will creep in. The thing to do is to tackle them as promptly as discovered and as courageously as possible; and whenever that is done tn the proper spirit the con- tinued confidence of the people is invited and is generally secured. In the credit of the New York perform- ance Governor Black shares liberally. Al- though the principal officer accused was one of his own appointees, he did not at- tempt to shield him, but submitted the charges to experts and then their report to legal counsel as he would have done in the case of an entire stranger. The whole chapter, as they are connected with it, 1s alike creditable to the governor and to the governor-elect ———_ «+ _____ Henry Havemeyer of sugar fame js said to be a very clever amateur magician.

It is to be hoped that Congres the coming session, will attempt se no comprehensive plan for the government of our new possessions. The reasons for post- ponement cught to have controlling weight with every candid and prudent mind. We want to escape mistakes if we can— at least, we it to escape serious and avoidable mistakes. We shall make such mistakes if Congress attempts to make laws now for the permanent government of the Philippines and Porto Rico. The prob- lem is complex; it is new. We are unpre- pared. We need time for inquiry, cbserva- tion and ripe consideration. We can give oor new dependencies a better government —better for them and better for us—after a year’s experience of thelr needs and capa- bilities. Above all, Congress should await the guidance of a more thoroughly ascertained public opinion. It is a representative body. it could not possibly know at the short session whether it was acting with or con- trary to the wish of the people in any legislation it might undertake for the gov- ernment of the new territory. Does any- body know what public opinion is in respect to the Philippines? It will gradually make itself known to Congress and to the Presi- dent. No harm can come of a year's delay. ‘The Executive Department has the authoi ity and the means to take care of these dependencies, Let Congress wait. ———_~+ ee A Narrow Spirit.
