One trouble about elections is that they do not carry & sound abstract or warranty deed. ““What is rarer than a day in June?" Well, it June just hoids up to the rec- ord of the first day, all right, The railroad managers say they were surprised by that injunction. Uncle Sam, as it were, beat them to 4t. A Philippine paper, pleading for the pative, says, ‘‘Give the wild man a chance.” Yes, it would at least be prudent. Theré is a lurking suspicion that Colonel Bryan would dislike very much to see the democratic party Har- monized. The weather has been too irregular even for the normal number of strikes, though a few scores have been de- clared.

Take Nebraska, for example, |our congressional delegation of six | members f{s evenly divided between the two parties. Congressman Norris is head and shoulders above Con- gressman Hitchcock, the only experi- enced democratic member. Compare Congressman Hinshaw of the Fourth district with Congressman Maguire, the democratic nonentity of the First. Compare Congressman Kinkald of the Sixth district with Congressman Latta, the democratic do-nothing from the Third. And yet, how are the democrats going to make any improvemenf? Every below-average democrat {n con- gress who wants to go back will have no trouble in getting a renomination. How is the character and ability of congress to be Improved by returning all the democratic driftwood now there and adding a few sticks of new tim- ber no better, if not worse? Postal Savings Progress. The caucus pledge of the republican house members to expedite the passage of the postal savings bank bill, while not the same as enactment, is a most encouraging step in that direction. The majority members have agreed to every section of the bill save that one pre- scribing the use to which deposits shall be pfaced and while this has been the most serious obstacle for some time, there is little doubt of its being surmounted, for the republicans in congress are thoroughly realizing that the people want this measure and that President Taft is in earnest in his ad- vocacy of it. The attempt has been made to re- quire all the deposits.to be placed in local banks and to remain there sub- Jject to draft of the government only in case of war or similar emergency. Its conservative friends believe that, to insure validity of the law, provision should be made for gome investment of funds in government securities and this undoubtedly will be the ground of common agreement. The only point still at Issue is as to the percentage of the funds to be inyested in bonds, but this cannot at best be othér than a matter of detail, for it is inconceivable that real friends of the measure would stick at a percentage. The passage of this bill will not only redeem republican promises, but it will serve to disclose further the insincer- ity of the democratic minority in this congress. While preaching postal sav- ings from the house tops, the demo- cratic senators tried to trip up the bill and on final roll call were all recorded inst it with one exception. Another sidelight of interest is the attack made upon the bill by Congressman South- wick of New York, who denounces it as “‘radically socialistic” and refused to remain in the caucus called to consider it. While this can have no serious ef- fect, it must discount the democratic criticism that the bill is drawn in the democratic membership of the house: | the democrats now | The point sought to be made is that the next congress, must secure as can- | didates men of higher quality than| where | ! mize the fact that he able to garner 1ot good coin of the |of starvation and he | were {to think the | of their own * BiE and a lusty realm in this Mr, Kilrain offers no apology for their apparent selfishness, seeming ! people were fortunate to two real prizefighters, since many 1 could hit in the stom- ach and break their backs."

Washington Life Some Interesting Fhases and Conditions Observed at the Nation's OCapital. Senator Depew's story regarding President MeKinley and the Spanish war, told In con- gress and in subsequent Interviews, is not considered a good sample of the senator's Justly celebrated humor. It is resented as an assertion without substantial foundation by men participating in the events preced- ing the declaration of war. In the colloquy with Senator Hale, Senator Depew merely declared his own personal knowledge “that there was a time when it would have been possible to have settled every question in- volved between Spaln and the United States upon terms just as favorable as were recelved at the conclusion of the w He did not assert then that President Mec- Kinley had knowledge of such & possibility, But in the interview which he gave the New York Times he did make the latter assertion. Ho prefaced It with an account of how a certain unarmed and unidenti- fied but powerful ‘“exalted personage.” who was greatly interested In the pres- ervation of peace and Spanish honor, had busied himself to obtaln from the United States unofficlal but authoritative asgur- ances that a proposition from Spain to relinquish soverelgnty over Cub would be acceptable to this government. ! “This personage,” sald Mr. Depew, “who Is In a high place and has many ramifications, got In touch With persons {here in whom he has absolute confidence. {To them he outlined his plan and obtained their co-operation in setting the government of the United States. You see, in that way there could be none of the records that would have come into existence whether the pro- posals had gone diplomatically from Spain to the United States or from Spaln through a third power. “How dld the Spanish proposition act- ually get before President McKinley?" Mr. Depew was asked. “There was no proposition from any power to any power,’ plied quickly. “There w put forward by this disinterested person- age through private channels. But there was no misunderstanding about it. The president realized the situation fully.” the matter When this matter was called to Justice Day's attention he read carefully the in- terview with Senator Depaw, and then dic- tated the following: “The statement of Senator Depew, as reported in The New York Times, greatly surprises me. It has never before been intimated, 0 far as I know, that Presl- dent McKinley ever received information from any source before the outbreak of the Spanish-American war that Spain was willing to relinquish her soverelgnty over Cuba. I have always understood that such willingness was developed In the negotiations for peace, which closed the war, culminating in the signing of the pro- tocol of August 12, 138, in which Spain relinquished all clalm of sovereigniy over that island. “President McKinley communicated to congress in his message of April 11, 1808, the result of the negotiations with the Spanish government, looking to the bet- terment of conditions in Tuba and a peaceful solution of the differences be- tween the two governments, concluding the message with a statement of the de- cree of the queen regent of Spain direct- ing a suspension of hostilities in order to 1 am sure that in this message congiess was fully advised of the state of the negotla- States and Spain preceding the war. This record has long been published and open to inspection, and must speak for Itself.” Representative Asle J.

The easiest way in the world to start an argument with Congressman Gronna 1s to suggest—merely suggest—that Canad- jan wheat is better than the American variety.

When Ty Cobb, Detrolt's famous tielder, who can pick & ball further out of the firmament than most any other man who holds that position, came into the senate iobby one day last week, he filied every plate. To the senatorfal fans he was the whole diamond, and he was almost literally ran over by the grave and reverend maiers of the laws. Sherman, who umpires at the eenate rostrum, gripped the base ball man by the hand in a way to make Cobb feel that when he got his hand upon a situation he held it with a grasp of steel. By the time the coat room fans had all collected about the star he was loaded with cigars from his cap to his boots, while his smile radiated like one of those caricature mirror retlections, The rafiroad bill, the tariff commission, appropriation and other incidental matters beat th while Cobb told of how he had mugged & ball that happened to means in his direction, like a chronic rheumatic taking a sun bath, and how he followed up the performance by taking out of the path of a swallow another sphere that the bird evidently thought was a down shoot of Halley's comet.

It appears from a report upon the subject recently issued by the Department of Agriculture, that the initial cost of fence posts of this material ia not much greater than wood, and that thelr durabllity counterbalances this initial cost. The report gives the most approved meth- ods of making concrete posts. The best material is described, the form of molds to be used and how to construct them. A por- tlon of the report is devoted to a discussion of the advantages of the concrete post over that of wood.

Incidentally, Mr. Sullivan was willing to venture a hidden suggestion as to the outcome of the race war now pending in_California. The discussion of cognate subjects has never been one of Mr. Sullivan’s drawbacks, and 8o he lays down a rule of action for King George to follow in all matters of state and soclety with an abandon as free as the swing of his goodly right with which he dsed to put to sleep so many of his aspiring adver- saries. In the judgment of Mr. Sullivan the first and most solemn task confronting Britain’s new sovereign is the ‘‘cut ting out of all this blank foolish- ness that takes all the people's money for war boats.’” One might presume from events that have transpired dur- ing the picturesque career of this Bos- ton erudite that he would be predis- posed in favor of war, but such is not the case, He argues as a support to his peace doctrine that ‘‘the whole country is starving to death, England, Scot- land and Ireland" ana opines that it would be better to invest money in food for these perishing people than in men-of-war.
