Hero and Candidate. In the matter of Admiral Dewey's trip to Chicago, and thence south, it {s explained that he goes, not as a presidential candi- ate, but to keep engagements made months ago. He was invited as the hero of Manila Bay. and ag such he accepted the invita- tions. He therefore will present himself in that capacity. But will this be possible? That he will make no reference to his presidential asp!- rations, nor encourage others to do so, may be taken for granted. But will it be possi- ble to separate the interest that attaches to him as a great sailor from that that now at- taches to him as a politician? The hero of Manila Bay has now a rival in himself. He is a hero, and more. When the crowds catch their first glimpse of him they will behold fn one and the same person the man who sent the Spanish fleet to the bottom at Manila, and a presidential candidate who at least has given the country something new to talk about. And who shall say when they acclaim him—as of course they will do with enthusiasm—how much of the shouting is for the hero, and how much for the candidate for the presidency? If the comparison is not disrespectful to Admiral Dewey, take the case of Webster Davis. Mr. Davis, while holding the office of assistant secretary of the interior, visited South Africa and looked into the war situa- tion there. Upon starting he announced that he would travel as a private Individual. We all smiled at that, because we recognize readily our own brand of humor. But it turned out that the Boers were as quick as we had been to see the joke, for when Mr. Davis landed, and made the same announce- ment there, President Kruger put his pri- vate car at Mr. Davis’ service, rolled him around over the Transvaal in Boer state, and treated him with all graciousness. Oom Paul knew that he was entertaining a prominent official of the American govern- ment, and as he was figuring on outside sympathy he saw the opportunity to im- press the visitor. And he succeeded. Mr. Davis returned home, threw up his office, and ts now touring the country helping to sentiment against the President of ed States because he will not step in and take the war off the Boers’ hands. Admiral Dewey will find that he cannot travel in this country now simply as the hero of Manila Bay. He ts still very great~ ly admired In that capacity, but he has teken on a new netion, and the people, wherever he goes, will be bearing it In mind whether they openly signify as much to him or not. —_+ + >} _____ Mr. Gorman's Six Votes.

Some people who seek office are not objects of indignation. They are only amusing. —— The Pennsylvania Railroad Bi The early passage of the Pennsy railroad grade-crossing bill by the Senate may be expected in view of the favorable report submitted y committee. The bill now in command a maximum of approv presenting probably a minimum tlonable features. It is inevitable that In such large enterprises there should be some points where the local and the corporate interests do not perf. gree. The road company, it must be recognized. has the advantage of possessten, but it Is will- ing, and even appears anxious, to climinate the obstacles to the creation of a modern terminal in the manner which has now been approved by the Commissioners and the Senate committee as the must satistactory under all the circumstances. ‘The committe: disapproves the railrvad’s plan of occupying Water street with its tracks, of using a 500-foot strip of Potomac Park, and of putting upon the government the cost of removing the fish commission building from its new path. It approves, on the other hand, the division of incidental costs between the company, the government and the District, and the construction of two bridges instead of one. The item of the bridges ts virtually the only item at which there is a disagreement between the com- mittee aud the local and federal authori- ties. The officials of the War Department hold that two bridges would interfere with Navigation and endanger the city by af- fording @ greater chance for ice gorges. The committee holds that by separating the bridges sufficiently this danger will be Steatly reduced, that the railroad traffic should be kept separate from the other transriver trafic, and that the passenger bridge should accommodate street railways. .The last purpose is undoubtedly desirable. There is at present a deplorable lack of facil- ities for affording rapid transit traffic across the Potomac. The Aqueduet bridge fs not strong enough at present to carry street car lines, and the one line which uses the Long bridge monopolizes that structure. It is probable that street cars will be ex- cluded from the Memortal bridge, and thus the new passenger structure proposed by the railroad bill affords the only present promise of relief from this situation. The comtmittee suggests, In view of the pros- pective use of the second bridge by the Street cars, that half the cost be borne by the District. This is a new proposition. It is believed to be the program that the rail- Toad company will construct a much finer bridge than that called for by the proposed contract price of $568,000. This, of course, is indefinite. If the agreement actually exists it might as well be expressed plainly in the bill, in order to prevent misunder- standings. The limit named is really too low to insure an adequate structure. The principle that the District and the government shall share the expense of the changes occurring outside the ratlroad’s right of way seems to have been settled upon finally. The total cost to these in- terests, inclusive of the bridge, is estimated at $918,000, a proposed burden on the Dis- trict of $459,000. On the basis of the prin- ciple already stated, this seems really a small price for the capital to pay for the incalculable blessing of reHef from the grade crossings and the institution of a terminal station worthy the nation’s city. The committee's report states that it 1s the railroad company’s purpose to erect a sta- tion costing $1,500,000, This, of course, does not include a cent for site, which ts do- nated by the government. For this sum a structure can be erected which will reflect credit both upon the community and the corporation. Of course in all these calculations ac- count must be taken of the money value of the lands given over permanently to the rallroad out of the system of parks and streets. Were it possible to exclude the road from the Mall and such of the streets as are Included in the plans it would be highly desirable to do sd. But this has been long ago proved to be impossible. The rail- road is in possession and all attempts to remove it have utterly failed. The only thing to do, therefore, making the best of the situation, is to give the road the proper facilities for transacting its business, by permitting more than the single line of tracks now allowed and opening the way for an adequate station. The project has reached the stage where, in order to se- cure results permitting the progression of Washington toward its proper stature, some sacrifices must be made by both citizens and government. The question to be weighed is whether the resultant benefits, now more plainly in view than ever be- fore, are worth the cost. The answer which the District has given to this ques- tion is decidedly in the affirmative. —~ + =____ An Argument for Direct Elections. The movement to secure an amendment to the Constitution permitting the direct election of senators by the people receives a marked impulse through the unanimous report of the Senate committee on privi- leges and elections in the case of Mr. Clark of Montana. Without reference to party lines and without a dissenting voice the committee has found that the so-called election of senator in that case was irregu- lar and fraudulent, and that the law was violated by the use of larger sums of money than the state statutes permit, while no ac- ceunt of the expenditures was filed as re- quired. It does not matter that no specific charge of bribery against Mr. Clark is held forth as proved, or that the committee, in deference to his personal feelings, refrains from denouncing his methods in harsh terms. But the indictment against his pro- cesses is nevertheless sweeping, probably more so than if he had been directly ac- cused of particular acts. The report as it stands is a powerful assault upon the whole system of electing senators, which permits the unscrupulous use of money. There is a possibility of complications arising from the committee's recommenda- tion that Mr. Clark’s seat be declared va- cant. This virtually proposes that his en- tire senatorial career, since the beginning of the Congress, be cancelled. The question arises whether such a proceeding might not affect the legality of all proceedings in which Mr. Clark has participated. The rea- soning of the committee is clear enough. however. The whole operation was v through Its very nature. Therefore there was no election, and it és only proper to go back to the start and declare that there has been but one senator from Montana in this Congress. Yet this mode of evicting an improperly chosen senator may later constitute a precedent to plague the Senate in cases involving legislation of the first consequence. It is roughly estimated that this sena- torial fight, first and last, has cost the rivals upward of $1,50,000. That sum rep- Tesents, however, a most profitable ex- penditure if it will have led the people any nearer a realization of their desire to change the manner of choosing members of the upper house. There will be no public sympathy for either side in this infamous controversy for the money waste. Men who go In to buy offices or to block the way of rivals by bribery must expect cold treat- ment when the luck turns. Montana has lost nothing more tangible than her repu- tation as a commonwealth capable of pre- serving the purity of her elections. Per- haps this episode will do her good. In any event the Senate will have purged itself when it has adopted the committee's re- port. Let it then stand strictly by its own precedents and the rules of good govern- ment and refuse to seat any man present- ing himself with credentials from the gov- ernor of a state which has deadlocked it- self out of the chance to elect a senator. a A young soldier in the Philippines was saved from death by having a plug of to- bacco in his pocket. This will no doubt be utilized as an argument that the tobacco trust which produced the extempore armor is a mild and benevolent Institution. —___ ++2 —___ The best work of the Indian schools 1s said to have been accomplished among the Flatheads.

The proposition to resume the coinage of the half cent ts received with a wide diverg- ence of opinion here and there throughout the country. One objection to it, which seems to represent the most that can be said on that side, is that this {s not a half- cent country, that it has grown out of its swaddling clothes and is prosperous enough to pay full prices for what it buys. Unhap- pily the time Is not yet at hand, and prob- ably never will come, when this or any other country can afford to cut all peo- ple off from the chance to exercise the closest economy, when all will be proeper- ous enough to tgnore the pennies and the half pennies, when plenty will ‘be the un- broken rule. Poverty will doubtiess exist despite the humane efforts of refurmers, scholars, statesmen and demagogues.

Big beasts and big talk do not make riches or relieve the needs of the helpless. The half cent should be welcomed as the token of @ country great and progressive and liberal enough to consider every obligation. The objection to it too often 1s inspired by a silly affectation and an ostentatious spirit of prodigality which is sure to react upon its entertainers. ——_~ +=+____ Havana has a great many governmental problems on its hands, but has not yet tackled anything so harrowing and com- Plicated as the question of muzzling the dogs. ——_+ 0+____ The manner in which Mr. Jones has been losing ground in Toledo would indicate that he will have trouble in keeping himself above the horizon, even as a local issue. ——_+ «= ____ Possibly the number of whippings prom- ised them which they have not yet had, helps to strengthen the belief of the Boers that Providence is on their side. —————— > 22s__.

The unanimous report of the Senate co: es and elections that Wil- rk of Montana {s not en- titled to a seat in the United States Sen- ate is the most hopeful and gratifying in- cident of the present session of Congress. It would be a great scandal to suffer a man to remain in the Senate and vote as a senator after one of the strongest commit- tees In the Senate has unanimously de- clared that he has no right to a seat in that body. If the question of an appli- cant's right to be admitted to the Senate is a question of high privilege, certainly the right of the Senate to purge itself of those who have obtained admission wrongfully 1s a question of proportionately higher privi- lege. The Clark case should be pressed to the fore and action taken on it before this occupant of a torial seat without a legal title thereto shal! exercise any further important senatorial functions. ———_+ es --—__ A Well-Merited Promotion. From the Milwaukee Wisconsin. The President of the United States has justly recognized the merits of Major Gen- eral Arthur MacArthur by appointing him military commander of the Philippine Is- lands, vice Otis, who resigns. General Mac- Arthur is a favorite son of Wisconsin. His ability and his courage as a soldier, his qualities as a man, and his temperate habits have justly given him an honored place in the estimation of our intelligent people; and we can say frankly to Presi- dent McKinley that the people of Wiscon- sin respect him for this appolntment, as it not only responds to the public sentiment, but to the necessities of the service. We think the people will now witness the crushing of the Philippine insurrection not only in name but in deed. ——+e-__ The Public is to Blame. From the Philadelphia Pubic Ledger. But while neither actors nor managers can be held blameless for the presentation of demoralizing plays, the theatergoing public is itself to be condemned for tolerating them. The public have ft in their power to banish from the stage every objectionable play. They have only to stay away from a theater in which an offensive performance is presented. There can be no appeal made to the managers of theaters so powerful as that which touches their pecuniary inter- ests. Should the public give them convinc- ing proofs that if their theaters present ob- jectionable plays offensively played they will forfeit public support there will be no such plays presented. —— + 2 —____ A Valuable Opinion.
