It will not bear examination. There were men who in 1892 persuaded themselves Mr. Cleveland's sound money views They conceded gn Opens, that were of little consequence. him the right to talk and write as he pleased on that subject, but they smiled when they thought of how casy it would be to manage him after he had obtained the presidency with their assistance. They smiled just in time. A little later and the other fellows smiled. are many people who deny Mr. Bryan wisdom, but very few who deny him On the money question he talks ceording to his convictions, and if he is invested with the power of the presidency he will be certain to exercise it to the full in an effort to advance the free silver cause. He means business on that point if ever a man meant business on any point. ———__ + = —_____ Some of the prominent democrats may asonably feel a share of apprehension about the arrival in their midst of a man vith Mr. Pingree's instinctive tendencies to assume leadership. —_++-—___ In spite of Mr. Ciark’s recent senatorial expenses, he still feels that he has sufficient money for housekeeping purposes. —_—_~ «= ____ Sentiment Against the Mall Avenue. The Star prints today another letter from a citizen of Washington on the subject of the proposed Centennial avenue through the Mall, emphatically objecting to all such Schemes and expressing the hope that the integrity of the park will not be disturbed. ‘The writer asserts that the great majority of the people of the District demur at the Mall avenue proposal. They want to see the centenary of the capital properly com- memorated, but not by an act destructive of the very principles which have made the city worthy today of an enthusiastic birth- day celebration. It is to be hoped that this public senti- ment, which thus earnestly expresses it- self, will be considered by Congress in ad- Judicating the matter. It may be taken for Granted that the memorial bridge plan will be adupted, sooner or later. The demand for the bridge is too insistent to be over- looked and the government stands virtually Dledged today to the erection of this struc- ture. But as regards a further means of marking the completion of the capital's first century there {s @ difference of opinion. From a very few the project of cutting a useless, disfiguring avenue through one of the utiful and health-giving From the people through ganizations came a more practica- bie scheme—to raze the buildings that now obstruct and disfigure the space lying be- tween Pen: ania avenue and the Mall and the erection thereon of all future public buildings. Coupled with the original Mall avenue project. was the suggestion that came the reservations for the public structures. The plan to clear away the land south of Pennsylvania avenue commends itself to the esthetic sense of the people and to the economical instincts of the government. Pennsylvania avenue will never lose its his- torie value. It is known the world over as the nation’s most famous and In some re- spects most beautiful street. A boulevard through the Mall would secure no special reputation. It would never become en- dowed with the historical associations which now cluster around the stretch of Pennsylvania avenue from the Capitol to the treasury. It stands to reason that to conserve and accentuate the traditional and the artistic value @& this magnificent street would be most fittingly to mark the cen- tenary of the city with whose fame it 1s so closely associated. This can be surely done by eliminating, for practical purposes, the rookeries and undecorative buildings now occupying the medial space and con- stituting of the south side of the avenue a plaza upon which the nation’s offices of the future will be assembled. It would be false economy to cut up the park into building lots or to bisect it with an ugly, useless avenue. It will be true economy to clear away what is now little else than rubbish on the most conspicuous street of the city and replace it with en- during monuments to the republic's great- ness. —_——__ + «= Those Cleveland Devotees. The more enthusiastic of Mr. Cleveland's admirers are urging him for the presidency again. They regard him as the man for the emergency, and have persuaded themselves that, if he will but put out his head, great numbers of men, who are now all but in despair for the country, will take heart and rally to his support. This sort of devotion is welcome to Mr. Cleveland, but he is likely to think twice before acting upon the sug- gestion. As a matter of fact, Mr. Cleveland is ut- terly out of the question. He is more im- possible as a candidate even than Admiral Dewey. The present democratic organiza- tion is largely a protest against Mr. Cleve- land. He brought it into being. Hatred of him and his methods—real hatred—fills the bosoms of eight-tenths of the men who put him into the White House in 1892. They would not support him now for any office. It is the supreme regret of their lives that they ever followed him in anything at any time. So that to talk of Mr. Cleveland for the presidency this year {s to talk either of a mere side show, or of the disruption of the democratic party. As evidence of this it Is only necessary to point to Mr. Hill, to Mr. Gorman, and to Mr. McLean. They are all opposed to Mr. Bryan, and would jump at a chance to de- feat him at Kansas City. They had hopes for a time of Admiral Dewey. They may still have hopes in other quarters now that the admiral {s practically out of it. But it is safe to say that those hopes do not center in Mr. Cleveland. They could not be brought to support him as against Mr. Bryan. Neither one of them was a visitor to the White House during Mr. Cleveland's second term, and all three derived a certain satisfaction from the belief that when he left there he retired from political office forever. It is really a funny thing to hear men talk about and against imperialism, and in the same breath assert that there is but one man in the country equal to the coun- try’s present needs. He alone can save it from smash. What is that but maicing of Mr. Cleveland a sort of waddling Caesar, in- capable of a mount, but mighty afoot? How much of the republic is left if we are re- duced to this one man for safety? ——_~+ += —___. Petty Opposition to the Code Bi It is unfortunate that petty considera- tions should operate now to hamper the passage of the District code bill, which 1s to be taken up tonight by the House for detailed consideration. Yet the debate Monday, when Chairman Babcock sought to secure facilities for the prompt yet thor- ough examination of the bulky bill, indi- cated that at least one obstructionist stands In the path. Representative Mudd of Mary- land, a member of the District committee, objected to a request by the chairman cal- culated to facilitate the passage of the measure without interfering In the least with the right of members to propose amendments. The Dill is very long and Its provisions are detailed and technical. The best Interests of the District require that it be adopted with a minimum of tinkering. It represents the labor of years on the part of one of the most competent judges who ever sat on the District bencM, familiar with every phase of the complex system of laws in vogue in the jurisdiction. It has been carefully reviewed by the Bar Asso- ciation, composed of the practicing lawyers of the District. It has received the indorse- ment In bulk and in detail of the board of trade and of the Commissioners. It stands, consequently, as the closest possible ap- proach to a harmonious, satisfactory sys- tem of procedure. This fact should serve to facilitate its passage. Attempts to change it here and there to suit Individual views or uninformed prejudices or personal ends are to be deplored.” Such a measure cannot be tampered with in detall in the rush of general legislation. It must, in large measure, be adopted as a whole or re- jected. If a majority of the House believe it to be imperfect it should be set aside for further consideration. But it {s ques- tlonable whether the House can judge of this matter as clearly as have the framers of the code, who have ignored personal leanings In behalf of a comprehensive, mod- ern solution of the local legal maze. Mr. Mudd is accredited with a desire to protect certain special interests which are affected by the code. He succeeded the other day in blocking the course and may continue his tactics tonight when the bill fs formally taken up for consideration. But he will find that in pursuing this policy he fs an- tagonizing the best interests and the wishes of the people of Washington, who ask now for action on this measure without further delay. —_+ + = _____ Mr. Quay has not made any announce- ment which would indicate an opinion that Mr. Roosevelt ought to have something bigger than a vice presidency, even ff it should be necessary to disappoint Mr. Hanna. —___ e-_____ A great many of the soldiers captured by the English prove to be Frenchmen, Ger- mans and Russians, who are fighting with the Boers. Possibly much of the credit for good generalship should go to Europe. —_—__ + = —___ Possibly Kentucky could arrange to have shooting galleries instead of election booths, and make the target practice a little more friendly. The Canal Bill. By an almost unanimous vote—with only thirty-five members voting in opposition— the House of Representatives yesterday passed the bill providing for the construc- tion of the Nicaragua canal by the United States government. Thus that vitally im- portant project was advanced materially tcward consummation. As it leaves the House the proposition ts in practical, satis- factory form. The bill is simple and to the point. It first authorizes the President to secure from Nicaragua and Costa Rica suf- ficient territory for the construction and protection of an Interoceanic ship canal. It next provides that when this has been sufficient space for such buildings would be found on the park lands already owned by the government. regards the artistic and the practical merits of the two plans there should be Iit- tle reason for hesitation in choice. The boulevard enterprise offends every sense of park preservation, for it ts certainly no less than a long step toward the utilization of done the President shall direct the Secretary of War to construct such a canal over the generally understood Nicaregua lake route, together with requisite harbors, “with such provisions for defense as may be necessary for the safety and protection of said canal and harbors.” It further directs that in ne- gotiating with Costa Rica or Nicaragua the President is authorized to guarantee to these states the use of the canal by all vessels owned by them or by their ci! The bill finally appropriates $10,000,- 000 immediately for the furtherance of the project, the cost of which is limited to 140,000,000. No specific route is laid down, no pre- vious surveys are approved, none of the many controversies which have marked the career of this proposition since its incep- tion is involved in the enactment. Every- thing is left as to detail to the President and his subordinates. The House does not undertake to interfere with the pending questions as to the neutrality of the canal nor does it seek to prescribe the manner of defending #. By the use of the phrase “provisions for defense” it implies a dis- tinct purpose that the canal shall not be vulnerable to attack by man or nature. Yet it does not call for fortifications by name, nor does it suggest that anything contained in the bill. shall interfere with such arrangements as may be entered into between the United States and other pow- ers concerning the peace and war use of the waterway, Thus the whole interna- tional aspect of the enterprise is relegated to the President and the Senate. ~ This is probably the most satisfactory form in which the measure could reach the upper house, which even now has jurisdic- tion over the international features of the canal project. Whether the Hay-Paunce- fote treaty shall be ratified in its original form, or amended, or rejected altogether, or the Clayton-Bulwer treaty shall be swept away by a new convention, leaving the United States in undisputed control of the canal as a war agency, the most important step toward the construction of the canal has been taken by the presentation to the Senate of a clear-cut, simple, practicable proposition, which could be safely passed at any time. The demand of the country for some such enactment is overwhelming. No doubt can possibly exist as to the national sentiment. The need for the canal grows every day. While it may be the prospect that the canal bill will not reach the Presi- dent at this session, there is no present reason to doubt that a strenuous fight will be made next winter for the final step to make this measure a law and thus to start after many years of delay a project re- quired by every consideration of progress, safety and enterprise. ——___+ + = —____ It is time the sultan thought about regu- lating his pecuniary transactions so as to secure a good standing with the commer- cial agencies. ——___ + «= —_____ Mr. Carnegie has gone to Europe, and just at a time when his economic views might have done so much toward enliven- ing discussion. + +» —_____ The admiring people who insist on feed- ing Admiral Dewey forget that he is in training for the fight of his life. +2 ______ Mr. J.

It's another of the stories these Schley people have gotten up.”” A Great Change. “I suppose you will miss the base ball club this summer?” “Yes,” answered the man with a cold, unsympathetic eye. “We'll miss it. It'll be a great change to take up the paper every day and not see Washington's name trying to get to the bottom of the column.” Giftea.

Washington is a beautiful city at this time of the year, and if I had leisure to en- joey it I should think myself in Paradise. The sun is bright, the sky is innocent of clouds, the air is crisp, the venders of flow- ers offer you lilacs at every corner, and the smile of prosperity is on every face. You may recall the climate of Morocco or the Riviera in this glorious spring season, but if you are not wholly satisfied with Washington you are a cynic and hard to please. ———— +e —____ Gen. Greely’s Indiscretion. From the Boston Transcript. If General Greely 1s correctly reported his speech at Worcester last night was ex- traordinary for a man holding his position and another example of the unfortunate tendency to loquacity and self-advertising which appears to run unchecked In both the army and navy. In effect, as reported, General Greely indicts the whole army, with the exception of the Signal Corps, of which he {s chief, of weakness and ineffi- ciency. This indictment is so sweeping and his condemnation of his brother officers as the creatures of political influence so broad that it is only charitable to suspend judgment on this portion of his speech. ‘An army which took Santiago and which has displayed so much energy and gal- lantry in tne Philippines is nelther weak nor inefficieft. Save In numbers the “old army” of fifty years ago was not weak either. We doubt if in the history of the world. an army numerically so small, scarcely ever exceeding 100,000 men, grad- uated So many commanders of the first rank and ability. An army could not be either weak or inefficient which was the training school of Grant, Sherman, Sher- idan, Thomas, Lee, Stonewall Jackson and Johnston. Our military organization is still, in its administrative departments, very crude, and that it has been influenced by polities, either army or the other kind, is suggested by the fact that the adjutant general has no higher rank than the chief signal officer. ——+>-+-—___ Be Careful With Matches.
