IN the furtherance of the Panama Canal scheme

Considering the fact that more than 800 900 has

Mr. Morrison's tariff bill, like all compro.
mise measures, satisfies neither extreme.
To those who advocate near approach TO
free trade 1t is Objectionable as being too
mild in its operations. To the protectionist
1t appears too drastic. To the revenue re-
former, who regarded the inequalities Of the
features, 1t seems like an effort to cure a
disease Of the blood with milk. and-bread
poul,ice. 1t Is not such q measure as can
best be explained and triumphantly vindi
Gated before the people. But 1t is a step In
the right direction, aud we hope that what
has been conceded by Mr.. Morrison may se-
cure for his measure the additional support
he anticipates.

Before altering the present system Of
sales under deeds of trust and substi-
tuting the more dilatory and expensive sys.
tenn now in force in Maryland, Congress
should inquire whether there has been such
an abuse of powers by trustees as to call for
the change. To require every sale to be
reported TO the court, and there passed upon
to give it validity means great delay and in
creased cost both to creditor and to debtor.
And it means, consequently, that the debtor
class will have to pay larger rates for future
loans, since the creditor will take the delay,
inconvenience, and expense in connection
with the collection of his loan into consider
alton when making it. The present system
and the prosperous condition of our city
have attracted capital. Will the change Of
system repel it, is the question in which the
community is interested.

WHEN Mr.. Evarts compared the work of the Chi

pendence and the Constitution of the United States

imagination for his facts. The attempt to make the
twenty-second OF February a Republican day, like
unto the Democratic eighth of January is not likely
to meet with any remarkable success.

Besides the usual amount for street and

Perhaps no contemplated improvement is
of greater Importance to the citizens living
in the southeastern section Of the city than
the opening Of Pennsylvania avenue to the
Eastern Branch, and the construction Of a
bridge across that stream at the eastern
terminus of the Avenue. Pennsylvania ave
nue. is the main artery of our city, and it
should be extended to and across the Eastern
Branch. The value of the adjacent property
would be greatly enhanced thereby, and the
convenience and comfort of thousands Of our
citizens and of our neighbors in the adjoin-
ing county of Maryland greatly increased.
This is an improvement. that must be made
sooner or later. Why not make it now !?
The citizens in charge Of the matter are in
earnest, and we hope they will not drop it, as
other citizens committees have, until the facts
are laid before Congress in such way as TO
demonstrate the necessity for the improve
ment.

If the Executive Department cannot be
trusted with the construction of our war

it certainly ought to farm out the collection

hands it had behind its back three .fourths
majority in the House Of Representatives and
an overwhelming majority Of the people Of
the non-seceding States. To-day the posi-

on the ground of the exercise of its self as.

business of the country, it takes no son Of a

People are beginning to inquire whether
the American Senate in the present distribu-
tion Of population among the States is not
too much Of an anomaly in republic. The
State Of Nevada, with handful OF people
scattered over big area, has as much voice
in making laws as the State Of New York,
with fys millions. As the Senate adds to
its power and attracts attention to its dan
gerous usurpations, this disparity in popular
representation is more and more the subJec
OF anxious consideration. SIS It safe to

So far from having any basis for their re.
port against continuing the Washington
Navy Yard as suitable locality for the max
ing of engines, boilers, and machinery, the
Hawley committee reported in the teeth oftes-
timony that was easily accessible. Mr.. Mullet,
of this city, who was the civilian member Of
the Navy Yard Commission, reported that the
Washington Navy Yard had a better plant
and better tools for these purposes than any
private establishment in the country. In
this the other members of the Commission
agreed. Mr.. Mullet also says that the Yard
has turned out better boilers and at less cost
than any private establishment. The Haw-
ley committee has evidently been hood
winked. The House and Senate Committees
on Naval Affairs should re-examine the ques-
tion and take the testimony of the members
of the Navy Yard Commission, If they should
not see ft to rest upon their favorable re-
port. Washington is too much interested in
the Navy Yard to let its shops be idle for
want of proper representations to Congress,
when the facts are 30 overwhelming In Its
favor as the best Navy Yard in the country
for manufacturing all kinds of ordnance, ma
chinery, and equipments.

Energetic canvassers are carrying petitions

rate new gas company. As ourGas Company,
like a plumber in the winter season, has
no friends, everybody, of course, appends bis

all, 1t may be scheme to blackmail the

Congress should go slowly in acting upon
petitions gotten up in this way. It should
examine carefully as to the responsibility

and II 1t then decides to grant them charter,
should 80 hedge the bill with safeguards as
to prevent. combinations or cancellations,
which would ultimately be visited upon
the householder by increased gas bills and
inferior gas. But, after all, II there is to be
a new franchise granted for the manufacture
and sale of gas at low rate, to be prescribed
by law, why would 1t not be fitting to pro-
vide that the franchise should be sold to the
highest responsible bidderss OF course the
promoters of the scheme propose to put
