WHAT Annur A HALL 2

No movement that we are aware of
has yet been made toward the erection
of public hall In this city, yet the
need for such n structurois all the time
increasing Next spring, during the
great National drill, the necessity will
be more than ever felt. WHAT is
wanted IS hall commoiious enough
10 seat 1000 TO 5000 persons, and
where's the place now that will begin
to accommodate thlt number; Where
could a grand exhibition drill be given
under covcr-somcthng that might be
made a notable feature Of the forth
coming occasion?
If so much to be desired next spring,
how much more so, the spriug follow.
ing, and so on, as the days Of the Cen
tennia celebration draw near?
II is strange that there should bc such
an indifference on this really i'm.
portant subject. 1t is more than strange
it Is a downright shame-thut the
National Capital should be without u
hall of the character and capacity mem
toned. There would be many uses for
il the year round 1t could be blilt
upon such q plain and Inexpensive
plan as to pay well on the investment,
if nothing of elaborate architectural
pretension is practicable.
Perhaps the Government would be
willing to grant the use of the requisite
ground somewhere above Fifteenth
street, between the White House and
the Monument But wherever it is to
be or whatever, it is something that
Washington should not 20 six months
longer without A building, after the
plan of q political wigwam, would be
much better than nothing at all. In
fact, ii could be made to serve an al.
mirable purpose.
Our people Should bear in mind that
in the course Of the next three years
there are to be many more thousands
of strangers here than ever before in
the same period of time. There are to
be memorable occasions, also, when
vast assemblages will need to be
brought together, and it is time somC
measures were on foot to provide fol

SENATE ANp CABINET.

The unexpected results Of the clec-
ton in New jersey are attributed in
some quarters to the extraordinary
activity Of Senator Mcpherson, and
Mr.. McPherson's unwOntel display of
zeal is said to be based upon an ambi.
tion to get into MIR. Cleveand's Cab.

his claim TO distinguished recognition
by the Administration would DC well
founded,
This is substantially the theory OF
Philadelphia Press correspondent, and
necessarily presupposes II vacancy in
the Cabinet for Mr., McPherso@ TO fiji,
which is TO be created by Mr.. Manning
retirement and the transfer OF Mir.
Whitney from the Navy TO the Treas
ury, or possibly the direct appointment
of the New Jersey Senator to Mr..
Manning's place, though his prefer
onces ore understood to be for the port
folio of the Navy Department.
1t strikes us that this is about the
most labored and round about way to
account for the Democratic gains in
New Jersey that can be imagined. Mr..
Mcpherson, no doubt, did good party
service in the late campaign, but we
seriously question whether his motives
lad the inspiration here attributed to
them. In fact, it Is to be seriously
questioned whether Mr.. Mcpherson
would be willing to exchange his seat
in the Senate for a two. years desk in
the Cabinet, even were there no uncer-
tainties or improbabilities in the way
Of his getting there. 1t is much easier
TO account for his political activity on
other grounds than wish to follow the
example of the three eX Senator'S whom
Mr., Cleveland already has in his exec.
utive household. The more reasonable
theory is that he wants TO stay where
he is A senatorship in hand is worth
half a dozen Cabinet Offices in the bush.
TIE FIRE CGJTE'S REPORT.
The recommendation Of Cnief Par
ris that additional facilities be pro.
vided for the prevention and eXtln-
guishmeut of fires on Capitol llil can
not be urged too strenuously. 1t is
something extraordinary that in a Sec
tion Of the city so thickly populated,
and where over thousand new build
ings have been erected in the last two
years, there should exist such mani fest
neglect of precautions for the safety
of property. According to the Chiefs
report, there is but one engine com.
pany located east Of North Capitol
street, which, in case of anything like
an extended confagration or tw) or
three contemporaneous alarms. would
be entirely inadequate to the emer'
gency.
1t is always to he borne in mind,
moreover, that access to Capitol HI
is difficult to engines from other por
tions of the city, and during the winter
season, there are times when the con
dition of the streets is such that /
would be next to impossible to max
the ascent. BY all means, this rapidly
improving portion of the Nationa
Capital, should be supplied with nj
the appliances which the chief of th'
Fire Department deems necessary.
Another recommendation made by
Mr.. ParrisswilI also find universal fa

A Washington special to the New York
World says: A servant at the White House
took advantage of the absence of Mrs.
Cleveland to-day to give her pet dog, the
famous French poodle, whipping. Hec-
tors yells were pathetic and heartrend-
ing, but the hard-hearted mental piled a
reform whip over the dog with merciless
ilrmness until Hector was silenced for one
campaign at least.

Since The great Washington Exposition
project ha, heen brought before Congress,
weekly meetings have been held here at
which representative business men OF this
city and Baltimore have discussed the sub
ject. The Monumental city j, ut jealous
Of Washington in having the Worlds fair,
but On the contrary feels that the Capital il
the most fitting place for il, and has pledged
her loyal support in making It successful.
Those who will be instrumental in mate
rlalzng the project guarantee thar Dhr pro
posed Exposition shall not degenerate into
a merely local scheme, as the New Orleans
Exposition i alleged to nave done. Being
left in the hands of the Governments Of the
nations represented, il is promised that It
shall be an entirely International affair 1t
is held that the Exhibition will solve tie
great mercantile questions Of the age, viz,
a market for our over production, by show
ing the manufactures Of the United States to
the South American countries.
The record of the week in Congress i.
almost too meagre to notice. Appropriation
bill. in the House Of representatives. and
in The Senate the secret sessions debate, the
fisheries question and Interstate Commerce
have consumed the time with no legislative
results.
The Forty Ninth Congress is slowly but

half months of the session have already

complisned. The outlook for the new tariff
bill is defeat About twenty five adverse
votes from the Democratic side Of the House
with the Republican opposition that may be
counted upon, would do the deed, while
clear sighted students of the situation PIE
diet that nearly forty Democrats will vote
against it.
1t is thought the debate will begin about
the first Of May and that 1t will run for sew
eral weeks unless the bill is killed with
amendments at the outset, as will be at
tempted. In case of no such accident. how
ever, We will have another long siege Of
