The Senate's passage of the army reor- ganization bill yesterday accomplished an im featu ft the session's work. The bill m t pass the House. There will be ample opportunity to this end before the present session closes If there is but a disposition to aecept it. This accomplishment fs heartily to be desired, for the measure nts in the main the principal items rm demanded by the ence of the army during the war with Spain. One of the most glaring facts which that con- i was that there was not suf- ion between the Ine and the artments of the army, not enough workable harmony between factors depend- ent upon each other for © was too marke The ble commander had no authority. The staff us too -ndent in action. With a closer organization, such as the pending bill provides in large measure, there have been no misfortunes in camp or on the fleld such as were clearly traceable to Inadequate provisioning. Another flaw showed in the lack of ade- quate rank for the major general command- His position throughout the campaign was that of a superfluous personage, owing to the failure of the law to afford him prop- er prestige. Gen. Miles is entitled to the promotion proposed by this bill, not alone in the general terms of the case, but be- cause of his own character and his services as one of the most capable officers in the army. ‘The bill effectively rebukes those mischief makers who have been evilly seeking to destroy the reputation of the efficient adju- tant general of the army. It elevates Gen. Corbin to the rank of major general, and thus places him and his successors in posi- tion to command the compensation and re- spect due to the difficult and responsible nature of his duties. In the case of Gen. Corbin personally this end Is the more grat- ifying in view of his great labors during the war, which deserve at least this reward. The machinations and tnsinuations of those who sought to impugn his character as a man and as a soldier are thus effectively answered by the Senate. ——__ +++ Some of the practical men seem disposed to defer unconditionally to Admiral Dewey's desire not to be considered a representative of practical politics in any form. —— Ex-President Cleveland take comfort in the fact that whatever mistakes the country may make the fishing will be good as usual this summer. ——+ «> _____ No Compromise on the Schools. Next week the conferees In charge of the District appropriation bill will continue and doubtless conclude their scrutiny of the school reorganization amendment. Mean- while there Is some anxiety on the part of the people of the District, who are earnest- ly hoping for this needed reform, lest the opposition to the projected plan may suc- ceed in foreing either an abandonment of the project or a compromise which will ¢ stroy its value. The fight turns upon the manner in which the trustees shall be ap- peinted. Those who defend the present school administration want the power of appointment vested in the Commissioners, as now, while those who hope for the es- tablishment of a new order on a rational educational bas! hat, with all its possible disad these appointmen: erable. A propos! compromise, i to have the trustees elected by popular vote of the people of the District, an abomination not to be tolerated for a moment even in contemplation. A election of school trustees would inevitably produce evils a thousand-fol: worge than those from which the pe: now seek to flee. It would vest the choice of school guardians in the worst classes of the community, the same classes that in the past years of local suffrage elected « certain legislature of infamous memory. Th: school board, chosen under such auspices, would be unavoldably men of the Feather Duster stamp, Intent upon the spoils of of- fice and representative of none of the better motives and wishes of the capital. May the fate that rescued Washington from tie n of vesting President is pref- on has been made in a. clutches of this dragon of suffrage’ now silence the proposal to relegate the schools to the limbo of’ Feather Dusterdom and cerruption and the city to the turmoil of occasional elections. The present trouble in the school manage- ment arises largely if not primarily from the fact that the trustees have no real pewer. Being appointed by the Commis- sioners they are in a marked degree sub- servient to the wishes of those officials. It is an axiom of government that no official or body of officiais should be Independent of the creative power. It is felt that the trustees should be independent of tae Com- missioners, who have in the past too often prevented the institution of comprehensive pins of school management calculated to correct abuses and to restrain excesses. The Commissioners are competent, to be sure, to supervise the transactions of such a beard, but experience has shown that the pian does not work well In practice. Can a practicable law be framed to give the Cemmissioners the appointing power and divest them of the supervisory power? The Senate does not think so, after having in- quired into the subject deeply and care- fully. On the other hand there is apprehension lest the vesting of this power in the Presi- dent may to the Injection of potitical sideration into the school management. Iz is believed that this danger has been averted by the safeguards as to residence added to the amendment. A school board, chosen as prescribed by the Senate pro ion and left free to ac lity and initiativ more likely to meet the ni and the wishes of upon its own r would be far is of the sch ne parents—whose inter- are virtually paramount—than a board onduc at present, with a mere authority and a routine field of activity is needed here is a board of educa- n composed of the leaders of the com- men of intelligence, position and to the District's welfare, and ca- ‘ble of planning broadly and admfinister- ing wisely to the end that the public schools the capital may produce well-trained, bright young men and women, fitted to cope with all the circumstances of life and to ad- vance from the period of graduation into active pursuits or higher studies. Such a beard, it is sincerely believed, is to be se- cured by such a provision of law as that now under debate in conference. ——so—_—_—— Governor Dole. Those who have had occasion during the past few years to note with care the career of Sanford B. Dole of Hawali can give the heartiest approval to the action of the President in appointing that honest and capable man as the first territorial gov- ernor‘of the islands. Threughout the story of the last years of the corrupt monarchy, of ahe revolt against the crown, of the in- stitution of a republic, of the long fight for xation and, finally, of the reorgan- ization of Haw the figure of light of purit racious, iunder the American flag. ole stands forward in a clear and honor. Endowed with attractive personality, Mr. Dole bines gentleness of nature and breadth rength of mind. He was beyond the right man for the trying y through which Hawali had to er to sectire the peace of Amer- His fair, judicial mind sp all views of the per- ems which arose to obstruct olutionists. His hon- rand regard for the rights ared him to the natives whi him yect and fidel- dent of Hawaii t of modern 1 his high character was reflected @ men with whom he was surrounded, astituting a government of unusual purity and character. It was most fortunate for Hawali that such men as Dole and his colleagues took the helm ef state. Had the little govern- ment falle“ into less scrupulous hands, had dishonest, immoral men secured power, the s utiful Pacific commu- ad far differently. The opportunity for corrupt practt hand. But the years of Haw: had produced stanch, Christ ble, when the occasion arrived, of under- of the ii the responsibility of government and ns the craft order along the channe y and morality. Those men Were the product of the pecullar conditions which have at length delivered this lovely cluster of islands into our care for perma- nent guardianship. In providing a regular administration for the territory it was most fitting that the man who stood for the best of which Hawaii ts capable, who had striven without stint for the attainment of a high ideal of government, who had with- stood t pressure toward dishonor- Is, who had conserved the interests and won the affections of the natives while suppressing their traditional but corrupt rule, should be given charge of affairs. Thus Hawaii, thanks to the excellent jydg- ment of President McKinley, passes into a new stage of existence, but under the same compétent guidance that has held her clear of many reefs and shallows during the stormy days of reorganization. ———_~ ee Court Salaries In the Code. It appears that through an oversight, or by reason of a peculiar reading of the proposed code of laws for the District throws the entire expense of salary for the court officers in the District upon the District instead of dividing {t, as now, between the local and the general govern- ments. This, of course, must be corrected before the code is enacted into law. There has been a certain amount of disregard for the organic act in this same respect in the past. Of late the Invasions of the Dis- trict’s rights have become so numerous and ly that the people of the capital have tered their emphatic protest against fur- ther violations of the spirit and the letter of the compact. It would be most unfortu- nate If now by Inadveftance—for this slip can be nothing else—another item should be added to the record of these lapses from the virtue of the organic act. It Is to be assumed that merely to note the existence of such a provision is to lead to its im- mediate amendment in accordance with the fundamental half-and-half principle. ee Washington will endeavor not to feel any envy of Philadelphia or Kansas City so long as the Shriners recognize it as the ideal convention city. —_~+e__ It may be set down as a fact that there will be no necessity of coaxing vice presi- dential candidates after the Philadelphia convention opens. of text, Tvvid B. Hill has not yet gotten so far back into politics that he could not be re- tired on short notice. ——_~> +2 ____ Expansion in Lincoln. A dispatch from Lincoln, Neb., states that th front porch of Mr. Bryan's home is ng enlarged and local gossip has it that thy extensions are intended for the pur- poses of the forthcoming campaign. Can i: be possible that Mr. Bryan intends that the crowds of the faithful’ shall vist him ths r, instead of awaiting him at the railroad stations? One of the most inter- esting features of the campaign of 1896 was the Bryan continuous performance. His dashes here and there, his Incursions in‘ the enemy's country, his wayside wander- ings, his rear-platform addresses combined to attract to the man and the candidate a degree of attention seldom given to ny as- piraat for public office. He covered an enormous «mount of ground. Indeed. some of his loyal adherents were Inclined to claim the presidency for hin because he had addressed in person the people of more states and cities than did his chief rival. But eventuaily the votes were counted as against the speeches. If now Mr. Bryan Proposes to conduct a stay-at-home cam: paign this year much of the brilliancy of the spectacle will be lost. There would be, of course, a certain flattering meaning in the pilgrimage of the simon-pure Bryan- ites to thateenlarged front porch. Lincoln, as the Mecca of popocracy, would shine re- splendent among American cities. The ex- panded portico would ring with oratory. Souvenirs would doubtless be chipped from its columns. It might become a feature of the campaign for a corps of political car- penters to repair the ravaged porch once a week, to attest the popularity of the candi- date. Indeed, the porch account might la- ter be quoted as one of the items of the campaign. It is easy to understand how Mr. Bryan would be tempted to sit com- paratively at his ease under the shade of his own porch and talk to the assembling throngs. Why should not the Mahomets go to the mountain? The frequent reports of Aguinaldo’s death haye tended to puzzle the anti-expansion- ist. It is difficult to decide just what pro- ceedings would be proper in celebrating the memory of so distinguished an exponent of their doctrine: oe The Brooklyn swindler who was offering 0 per cent dividends on small invest- ments goes to Sing Sing.

If, as intimated from Washington, the President names Senford B. Dole,’ who served as first president of the Hawaiian republic, as the first governor of the Amer- ican territory of Hewall, he will be main- taining the high standard in character and ability fixed by his earlier appointments of officials in our island possessions. Mr. Dole is qualified by abundant experience and he is in hearty sympathy with the purposes of this government In Hawail. With Wood in Cuba, Allen in Porto Rico, Judge Taft in the Philippines and Dole in Hawall, there is no room for criticism of the President's policy toward the islands. > 2 It Maken a Difference, From the Boston Transcript.

On last Friday ninety-one such special bills were rushed through. Most of them were for the benefit of persons who had been befcre the pension bureau with their applications and had been turned down. Some of the disappointed penston applicants have political Influence, or they have per- sonal friends In Congress. So ninety-one cases In which the applicants could not se- cure pensions under the general law were now taken up in one day as a matter of politics or favoritism and the House passed the ninety-one special bills at once without debate. . ———~+ +2 __ The Admiral May Get Left. From the New York Tribune. Admiral Dewey has declared in an inter- view that he will be an opponent of Bryan at the Kansas City convention. In all his naval operations and at all social functions the admiral has been conspicuous for his promptness. erations and appeared at the functions ahead of.time, but it looks now as if he might be “too late for the train” at Kan- sas City. Nine states, Massachusetts, Ne- braska, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Utah, and Alabama, one territory, New Mexico, and the District.of Columbia, have thus far Ee delegates to the convention, and every one of them sends a delegation pledg- ed to Bryan. The poll stands: Bryan, 224; Dewey, 0. If the admiral is really go- ing to be an opponent of Bryan it 1s time for him to begin getting delegates. He cannot beat the Nebraska man with Inter- views and proclamations. He must have the votes. It looks much as if Bryan were gent sawing wood while the admiral. is inketing.
