Senator Vest's resolution for an investi- gation into the construction of the post offic> building, offered today, will, if passed, open the door to a thorough view. of the enure record connected with this struc- ture. It appears that Mr. Vest ha’ watched the course of the erection and is dissatisfied with the results, not only as regards the expenditure of time and money but also as to the present condition of the building. The resolution is broad enough in its terms to accomplish that which The ! Siar has believed for som> time should be undertaken, namely, a thorough and im- partal seratiny of the government's meth- od of constructing the public buildings. The resolution names the “joint committee on public buildin nd grounds,” thereby creating practically a s:lect committee by the union of the two standing committees of the House and Senate. Such a body would have large power and great weight. If, Senator Vest contemplates, thi building should be found to refi upon the processes in vogue in the supe vising architect's office, It will be in order to consider ways and means of reforming those processes to the gen=ral betterment of the system. It is highly desirable that some practical benefit may flow from such an investigation. It would not be satis- factory if the only result should be to certain how far this structure has fallen short of the standard, how extravagant have been the processes of its creation, how wasteful of both time and money, or how inadequate it now is as regards the uses - to which it is to be put. If, however, from such a finding facts of real value for th> future guidance of Congress may be ad- duced the inquiry will have been well worth the time and effort spent upon it. The deficiencies of th» system are flagrant enough in the demonstration afforded by this particular building to warrant such a sweeping inquiry and it is well that the proposition has been advanced thus early in the s ++ Pressing the Centennial Project. The y roposal to celeb! of the capital city as tional event is rapidly taking satisfactory shape. The President presented the matter clearly and the centennial € forcibly in his annual message, urging it upon the favorable attention of Congress as worthy of immediate action. In the House that portion of the message was re- ferred to the commiuee on appropriations, and in the Senate yesterday on motion of Mr. Hoar it was voted to create a special committee of seven senators to ke the recommendations under advisement. It fs not to be doubted that -com these com- mittees propositions will soon emerge car- the full intent of the President i rence to the scope and character of the proposed centennial. There are three branches of the matter as it affe Congress in its present stage.

The latest edition of the Congressional Directory contains, among other features, an unofficial list of the representatives who have been elected to the 56th Congress, which btars interestingly upon a possibility connected with the election of President in 1900-1901. It is a familiar fact that the Con- sutution provides in the Twelfth Amend- ment that if the electoral college should fail to east a majority of votes for any one ndidate for President, “then from the per- sons having the highest numbers not ex- ceeding three on the list of those voted for as President the House of Representatives sball choose immediately by ballot the Pre: ident.” The word pmediatel: signifies, of course, that this election shall devolve about play- upon the House then sitting, and not. that chosen at the si time as the elect- ors for President and Vice President. As affects the forthcoming presidential election, therefore, the House chosen last month cor stitutes the final power in case of a dead- lock in the electoral college chosen in } vember, 1900. The choice of a President by the House is expressed by the state delega- tions voting as units, each state having one vote, and a majority of all the states fs necessary to a choice. ‘There are now 45 states, and this number will not be increas- ed as affects the Presidency in this regard in the coming two years. Of the representa- tives now unofficially accredited as entitled to seats in the next House a majority are republicans. But this might be the case without giving to that pary a majority of the state delegations. However, the unoffi- cial lists show that, barring contests, deaths and other unusual incidents, 25 of the dele- gations will be republican, 17 will be demo- cratic and 3 will be independent, with none equally divided, giving the republicans a majority of five over all. Fifteen are solid- ly republican, ten are solidly democratic and thnee are solidly independent, while the other seventeen are divided. The close: divisions are the delegations from Maryland, Nebraska, New York and West Virginia, in each of which a change of one member from one party’ to the other by virtue of contests, re-elections or otherwise would di- vide the delegations evenly, meaning a loss of two votes on the republican side and two on the démocratic in state voting. The Constitution stipulates that whereas a ma- jority of the states shall be requisite for a choice in this process, a quorum shall for this purpose consist of a member or mem- bers from two-thirds of the states. The ri publican 25 states do not constitute such quorum, but it would not be possible to pre- vent an election by the withdrawal of the ition from the session, for of the 17 divided delegations the republicans would in such event be sure to secure majorities in the absence of democrats and indepemi- ents thus withdrawing more than sufficient to bring their total of states to the requisiit mark and beyond. Consequently it is ap- parent on the face of the returns as they stand today that in case of a deadlock in the electoral college two years hence the t President will be a republican. oe By order of the retiring captain general, ne: Blanco, Weyler street in Havana has been changed back to Obispo street.

A Sinister Suggestion. “I think that tne prospect for peace is very good,” remarked one european. “Yes,” answered the other, “unless the czar and the kaiser get to quarreling over who deserves credit for bringing it about.” Unexpected. The tramp had been very impertinent and dictatorial until the hired man unexpected- ly made his appearance and inquired, “Are you lookin’ for a scrap?” His manner changed entirely and at once he answered, “Yes, sir; that’s what I'm jookin’ fur—a scrap o° cold turkey er cold ham, er anything that happens to be handy Occupation of Royalty. “That was a narrow es ape,” exclaimed the Chinese emperor. “What is the matter?” inquired his faith- ful friend. “I was so busy fixing up my new scrap book containing my obituary notices that { almost forgot to kotow to the empr dowager.

We trust this suggestion of the Presi- dent's will bear good and ample fruit. —— Solid Gronnd for the Democrats. From the New York ‘Times. No wise democratic leader wiil the taking of the Philippines without pre- senting a practical alternative. It is too late for anybody to say that we ought to “drop them and run.” Moral and inter- national obligations must be respect2d. We cannot consult self-interest alone. Be- sides, it may be for our interest to own and hold the islands. That proposition has as yet been neither proved nor dis- proved. The democrats will be on solid ground if they hold the administration to the high- est standards of political and business probity in its treatment of our island de. pendencies. A policy that has for its ob- ject not only the material development of Porto Rico, the Philippines and Cuba, but the advancement and happiness of their people, will have the hearty support of the American people. No other will. ———_~+2-_____ Monroe Doctrine Not Repudiated. oppose From the Rochester Democrat and Chrenicle. The persistence with which the French Press urges that our acquisition of the Philippines means a repudiation of the Monroe doctrine gives rise to the suspicion that a wish is father to the thought. We think. however, that Europe will find that the Monroe doctrine is still in force. We have invaded no sphere over which Europe has any claim. When we enter the sphere of European sovereignty it may be time to talk about treating the Monroe doctrine as obsolete. ‘L.at will depend, however, upon circumstances. ———+ +> —___ The Star's Honest Circulation Fixares, From Printers’ Ink.
