OPPOSITION to ex-Representative shelley's conar-
nation as Auditor of the Treasury Is based on the
ground OF his having been unfortunate enough to
be required to contest for his seat in nearly every
Congress to which he was elected. No one is bold
enough to say that he does not make good Auditor,
Just exactly of the kind that needed to set straight
the somewhat loose rulings which characterized his
predecessor. II this is not partisan opposition to
appointments then the new dictionary of English
as she ia spoke is greatly at fault.

Pretty much all the material vestiges Of
the war have disappeared except the war
tariff, which, considering the repeal Of inter
nal taxation on manufactures, is more of a
war tariff than ever.

If the members of Congress who are to de.
eide upon the amounts to be appropriated
for the various District needs will consider
the question of how may people ride upon
the asphalt pavements and how many have
children to send to the public schools, they
cannot hesitate to provide for the school
children, even at the expense of those who
drive their own carriages, or have distant
property they want enhanced in value.

To Any one who vii! read the testimony taken by
the Potter Investigating Committee 1t will be appar-
ent that Mr.. II. Conquest Clarke is not proper per-
son TO be the clerk OF a Democratic committee. In
their report upon this evidence the committee say
We are without a reasonable doubt that at least
eighteen signatures to the second set OF electoral
certificates from the State OF Louisiana were forged
on the afternoon OF the 10Th OF December, 1916 In
the Stnte House at New Orleans, and that William
Pitt Kellogg, nrst Republican elector-at-large and
Governor Of the State and now Senator OF the
United States, and II. Conquest Clarke his private
secretary, now clerk in the Treasury Department,
were priyy and accessory 10 such forgerles.
Whether the committees conclusions were correct
or not, no man against whom such grave charges
have been made In so solemn way should be re-
talned as clerk by Democratic chairman. MI
Clarke should 20. lie should go at once.

As predicted months since by The SUNDAY
HERALD, Congress has been called upon to
appropriate the bulk Of the money for the
New York monument to General Grant. We
do not object TO the amount asked of the
United States (s50o. .000) for the purpose of
suitably commemorating the services Of
General Grant. But We do say that If
the patton is TO build the monument II
should be erected here. Grants career was
national, not local. He was neither born
nor reared in New York. The only New
York memory that clusters round his his
toric name is one of pain and regret. If
New York really wants the monument she
has the means to build it. She should not
call on the nation for what is after all
matter Of New York suburban real estate
speculation.

The New York World suggests the pro-
priety Of having worlds fair" in New
York, to open April 80, 1885," the centen.
nisl anniversary OF the Inauguration Of
George Washington as first President Of the
American Republic. The SUNDAY HERALD
years ago, aud in several issues during the
past year, has urged the holding Of a
worlds fair in Washington in 1889 as the
real centennial celebration of the inaugura-
tion Of our constitutional Government. We
have had centennial celebration of the
Declaration of the Independence Of the
Colonies. The birth year of the Republic,
however, was that in which its written
Constitution first created nation and placed
Washington at the head as Its most fitting
representative. Let us have the worlds
fair in 1889 by all means. If we cannot
have il here, then lei New York have IT,.
But let US make one effort at least before
New York carries OFF the prize.

Objection is made to Judge Merrick's con-
frmation on account of his age. The Judge
was some twenty-five years younger when
he was legislated out of Office. but he knows,
If possible, more law now than he did then,
and has the mental and physical vigor to
administer it. Having done one wrong to
Judge Merrick is a very bad reason for doing
him another. The citizens and the bar Of
the District want him on the bench. This
is the one question, next to his ability to fill
the office, that the Senate should consider.

We are glad to see that the House is likely
to amend the senate's bill, which required
Improvements on the Potomac Flats to wait

ment (Which allows the work to 90 on, not
withstanding the question of title) from the
first appearance of the measure in the Senate.
There is no earthly reason why Congress
which has authorized Railroad Corporation
to excavats upon private property, pending
the result of condemnation proceedings,

There is simple answer to all of the com.
plants of the Bell Telephone Company that
they should not be vexed with suit by the
United States, because the points at issue
can and will be decided in the course of the
private litigation now in progress. This
answer is contained in various decisions OF
the Supreme Court, and is, in substance,
that the United States alone can plead that
the patent was fraudulently procured. This
is the one issue the Bell Telephone Company
seems most anxious to avoid. It cannot
now escape 1t.

The manufacturing interests are pretty
well split on the tariff question. One branch
of the protection tree is calling for decreased
duties on certain raw materials, while
another branch wants to retain the present
status on such articles and increase duties
on certain manufactured articles. Now is
the time to take advantage of the situation
and revise the tariff in the interest Of the
people, who want lighter duties both on raw
materials and the manufactured articles.
