IN this monumental age and developing
monumental city, there should certainly be
an enduring memorial to the victims of the
Greedy party.
The plan to expend for the monu-
ment the $4,000 appropriated as a eward
for rescuing the party is an eminently ap-
propriate one. Few persons are more
worthy ofmonumental fame than the brave
Lieutenant ofthe United States Navy, who
approached nearer to the North Polo than
any other man and planted our standard in
the highest latitude in which flag ever
floated.

SPAIN appears extremely anxious to
have her treaty with this country ratified
The Spanish Government will empower
senor Valera, the Minister at Washington,
to assent to notifications of the pending
Hispano-American treaty if such shall be
necessary to insure Its ratification by the
American Senate. AS the treaty now stands
it is proposed to admit free into America
sugars not above 16, Dutch standard. Spain,
however, will allow the treaty to be modi-
fed to the extent of admitting only sugars
up to class 13.

Few people have any idea Of the ex-
pense attendant upon military court
that prolongs its sessions through weeks
and months as is the case with the Swain
Morrow Court-Martial.
The conclusion that such o court costs
the Government thousands of dollars a
month is not extravagant. In the Swain
court the mileage allowed the officers will
not aggregate less than $1,000 and may
double that amount
The telegraphic corresponds nee of the
three principal officers in carrying the
business Of their posts and departments by
wire entails very large daily expense.
The attendance of aids to these officers
adds an important item, the innumerable
trips of the Judge-Advocate to and from
New York, etc.
The Ebbitt House parlors, occupied by
the court, command rental of SIG per day.
1he expense Of keeping up the record
averages S25 per diem. The stationery
bills cannot fall below the hundreds.
Messengers and doorkeepers are needed,
and SO the cost rolls up until tho bill pre-.
sented to the Government to pay assumes
huge proportions.

II is a novelty to hear of protest against
unjust discrimination in the matter of street
improvements against the northwestern
section of the city.
For many years all other sections have
combined in vigorous and continuous
complaint that the northwestern section
was getting the lions share and all other
regions suffering injustice.
The tables seem at last to have beon
turned as far as the complaints are con-
cerned.

THE Naval Court of Inquiry that inves-
tigated Department voucher frauds was
thorough and comprehensive in its work
and its decision will command respect.
The greater portion of the report cannot
be made public now as the Secretary be.
lieyes that it would exert an undue indu-
epce upon the criminal cases pending, and
perhaps interfere with the investigations of
the District Attorney.
The one important conclusion reached
and promulgated, that the fraudulent prac-
tices did not extend beyond the limits of the
Bureau Of Medicine and Surgery, is de-
cision that will bo received with congratu-
lation. The greatest evil growing out of
such investigations as this is the tendency
they have to throw discredit upon mon
whose regulations should be above question,
and in this case the entire Department was
thrown under cloud of suspicion, unjust
and unfounded, and fostered by malicious
SANDER and spite.
The greatest good that such an investiga-
tion can accomplish is to definitely locate
the blame and responsibility vindlcate
the innocently suspected no less than Ia
condemn the justly accused
