HE last weeks of the session of Congres‘s were T fruitless of action upon much important busi- ness because of parliamentary filibustering in both houses. In this both parties shared, for in the Senate it was the Republican side that obstructed action ot the statehood bill. Of the three great fili- busters which wasted time belonging to the coun- try the Democrats were responsible for two, that on the Panama treaty in the Senate, and that kept up in the House for revenge in the Butler-Wagoner contest case. The Panama filibuster in the Senate prevented the passage of the Littlefield anti-trust bill. When that measure was before the House issues were raised against its constitutionality. But after it passed that body, and while waiting for the right of way in the Senate, which was obstructed by the Democratic fili- buster by one of the most interesting events that has occurred in our legislative and judicial history, its entire constitutionality was affirmed by the lottery ticket decision of the Supreme Court. The Chicago Chronicle, the leading Democratic paper the midcontinental region, declares that the Littlefield bill was “the only measure Congress that dealt adequately with unlawful com- bines in restraint of trade,” and bitterly assailed the Democrats for preventing its passage by the Senate, declaring that “most of the Democratic members at of |are in Democrac | Most of them would prefer to have no anti-trust law at all if they thought the | Republican party would gain any credit by enacting { one” | This is high &nd hard talk, but true, if’ severe. | Either the interests of the people suffer from misuse | of the power of combination by the trusts, or they | do not.

ENCOURAGING EXAMPLES. S vast preblems involved in the protection of for- ests and the irrigation of the arid lands of the West it will pay them to give careful attention to | what has been achieved elsewhere in similar enter- | prises. Our Consuls have evidently been instructed to report on such subjects, for information is being received on forestry and irrigation from every land | where anything notable in that way has been accom- jph:hcd, In well nigh every case the reports are en- | | couraging, and it seems that modern science and ad- | | ministrative skill are now able to make forest re- | serves and irrigation canals profitable to govern- ments as well as beneficial to the public. Consular Reports for March contains two reports from India, one relating to the irrigation works in operation under British direction and the other to the conservation of forests. We learn from the one that the Indian Government has expended for irri- gation canals in various provinces upward of $128- 000,000; that the gross revenues for the last fiscal year were $12,734,000, yielding a met revenue of $8,740,000, or nearly 7 per cent on the capital in- vested. The area irrigated exceeds 13,500,000 acres. It would be difficult to find any kind of investment with a better showing, and it is fair to assume that if irrigation practiced by the hali-civilized peoples of India can produce such results, irrigation in this country will equal all that the most sanguine have | expected of it. The report of the administration of the forests is nearly as good as that upon irrigation. At the pres- ent time the Forest Department of India controls 208,- 369 square miles, but new areas are being added al- most every year. Last year the addition to the area was nearly 11,000 square miles. Some of the area is open to grazing, and the Government derives con- siderable revenue in that way. Last year the gross revenue from all the forests was $6,326,000, yielding a surplus of over $2,745,000. It is noted that the rev- enue and the surplus increase with each successive year, so that, as Consul Patterson says, “The report shows something of what is being done for the pro- tection and reproduction of the forests of India, which will become a valuable asset to the country.” It is to be borne in mind that when the British began the work of forestry in India they found many i | i INCE the American people are now facing the | regions almost stripped of trees and rendered deso- | were skilliul enotgh to pull him out by the painless :-lhanfly. ilate, so that a large part of the present forest area | process. before | Washington are as deficient of common sense as they | acts that speak louder than all the wind of words | | Evidently we have novels enough of our own and! | books, and almost every work that attains any kihd | has been virtually replanted. The American people can save that expense by beginning the work of con- | servation before the forests are gone. The Indian example serves, therefore, as both a warning and an | encouragement—a warning against delay and an en- couragement for action even where it is necessary to go to the cost of replanting. ‘While we are doing our best to curb trusts the Ger- mans appear to be watching them with envious eyes. At any rate the Minister of Commerce is reported as saying in a recent debate that American commercial success is largely due to trusts and that he would like to have some of the same kind of enterprise in Germany. R tention to a great plan proposed for the adorn- ment of the lake front at Chicago. It is now to be noted that a plan less ambitious, but not-less in- teresting, has been submitted to the authorities in New York for the adornment of that city. The plan has been worked out by the University Settlement Society and aims at producing artistic ef- | fects by the proper groupin. and construction of public buildings that are to be hereafter erected. It is suggested that public schools, baths and libraries |in the different wards and districts of the city be | erected in a group as far as possible so as to form something like a local civic center. I an address to Mayor Low the supporters of the plan say: “Why is it not possible, in certain blocks 1 where there is now a public schoel, or where a new one is soon to be erected, to plan also for placing | a public library whose architecture may be harmoni- | ous in design with that of the school? If one of the | new bathhouses should also be placed in the same | group each of these public buildings would add much | to the beauty of the others. Later the city may es- tablish public gymnasia, such as have been founded in other cities. Even now small parks and play- | grounds are being estaplished. Can any one doubt MUNICIPAL ADORNMENT. :CENTLY The Call had occasion to direct at- ‘; spaces which ought to be placed in the locality would | when grouped together do much to contribute in the | highest degree to civic beauty?” [ The advaniages of ~he plon are many. To carry iix out would entail little or no additional cost upon a | municipality, for it is not proposed that a city erect | schools, baths, librariés and gymnasiums for the sake‘ | of creating civic centers, but only that when such | buildings are to be erected they shall be grouped in- | stead of being scattered. The suggestion is deserving the consideration of those who are interested in the promotion of out-of- door adornments in San Francisco. The time may be far distant before we will follow New York in the erec- tion of libraries, gymnasiums and baths, but we will have to provide new schoolhouses from time to time, and it would be well to give some thought to the pos- sibility of making each schoolhouse one of a group of public buildings and thus converting it into a useful and an artistic feature of the district. e A New York woman is suing for divorce on the ground that her husband has been pretending for two vears to have painter’s colic when he has not had it at all.

A SIGNIFICANT CHANGE. | I so completely the center of the English speak- | ing literary world that any ‘book published | there was almost immediately known in America, while American books were rarely noted at all even | Of late there has been a notable change in the situation. American writers have steadily gained prestige and hearing in Great Britain as well as in their own country, and it now appears that a book published inj New York has a better chance of winning reputation | | among the British than a London book has of get- | ting a reputation here. The extent of the change was brought to public at- | tention a short time ago by the publication in a Lon- | don newspaper of a list of the ten most popular Eng- ! lish novels of the last year. The list is thus given: “Lord Leonard the Luckless,” W. E. Norris. “The Private Papers of Henry Ryecroft,” George Gissing. “The Golden Kingdom,” Andrew Balfour. “The Red House,” Nesbit. “The Countess Londa,” Guy Boothby. “The Gates of Wrath,” Arnold Bennett. “The Circle,” Katherine Thurston. “The Riggleses and Others,” Evelyn E. Rynd. | “Anthea’s Way,” Adeline Sergeant. “A Mixed Marriage,” Mrs. Frank Penny. The significant point in the list is that as yet only one of the ten novels has appeared in this country. P to a time comparatively recent London was 1among the literary leaders of the British public. are no longer eagerly waiting to get something new | from abroad. Meantime, the British public seems| continually on the lookout for the latest: American | of success here’is promptly brought out in London. Whether the change is a proof of our intellectual | advancement or not is a question for debate. Pruba-l bly the British reading public may claim that its in- creased liking for American literature is a proof of an enlarged sympathy with the outer world, and boast that by publishing American novels before we publish British novels of an equal date they are showing a greater enterprise than ourselves. The decision of such questions will have to be left to the experts of the book trade. Whatever be the cause of the change, it is one of no little interest, for it seems to signify the shifting of the literary center of the Eng- lish language from the old world to the new. g g It is announced that the Conservatives are trying to get Waldorf Astor to run for Parliament and he is likely to make the venture. It will be remembered that after being beaten for Congress in this country he removed to England. Should he now be beaten in England perhaps Russia may get him, as there will be no inducement in that country for him to run for anything. LOS ANGELES BISHOPRIC FOR MONSIGNOR CONATZ (RIS FORMER RECTOR OF THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY IN WASHINGTON WHO HAS BEEN RECOMMENDED TO THE POPE AS SUCCESSOR TO ARCHBISHOP MONTGOMERY. ¢ o | | | x3 OME, March 9.—As a result of the H favorable report of Cardinal Sa- tolli, prefect of the Congregation of Studies, the Congregation of the Propaganda has decided to propose to the Pope that he appoint Mgr. Conaty, formerly rector of the Catholic Univer- | sity in Washington, as Bishop of Los An- geles, in succession to the Right Rev. | George Montgomery, recently appointed a fortnight. s PARIS, March 8.—A special dispatch from Rome says a jcorrespondent has ob- tained an interview with a prelate at- tached to the Vatican, showing the real state of the Pope’s health. “The reception of 5000 pilgrims yesterday did not fatigue the Pontiff seriously,” the correspondent asserts. “In fact, the audiences and recent solemnities seem to !the relations between Francé and the | Holy See would contintie to improve, for !they were not so bad as the enemies of the church wished. The Pope during the afternoon received in separate audiences five Cardinals, who are leaving Rome, now that the jubilee celebrations are over. He will receive to- morrow a delegation of British aristo- crats, headed by the Duke of Norfolk. The appointment of a coadjutor to the Pope is a rather stubborn cold, which can- not be expected to be entirely cured before a fortnight. It is only then that Dr. Lap- poni can form an opinion as to the Pope's weakness. ““Although it has been denied, the symp- tom which is causing Dr.. Lapponi the greatest anxiety recently Is a slight dis- order of the digestive and intestinal func. tions. For the present the catarrh with which the Pope has been suffering is slowly but continually improving.” © e PERSONAL MENTION. |ANSWERS TO QUERIES. Rev.
