Considerably more than so per cent OF the
total population are entirely iiliterate ana un-

ignorant workingmen Of Spain should become
an easy prey of the Socialists and Anarchists,
whose professions of sympathy and interest
they regard as sincere, and whose pcrnicous

a CITY posToFFICE.

Several bills have been introduced
both in the Senate and the House, pro
viding for the Postoilicc building which
Washington 50 much needs. The
House bills were duly referred to the
Committee on Public Buildings, and
this committee reported and has placed
on the calendar the bill locating the
City Postolfice at Ninth street and
Pennsylvania avenue. The committee
has the rightofw way to-day, and this
particular bill will be pressed on the
House with, it is said, a good prospect
of passing.
The proposed location will not satisfy
everybody. Probably no site that could
be suggested would. In regard TO the
necessary foundations and the perilous
quality of cellarage to be had at the pro
posed location the hints that are given
with more or less authority would seem
70 denote that the question of site should
receive full investigation and careful
deiiberation. The city needs proper
post0flice accommodation badly, and it
needs them soon But it can better
afford to wait a short time for them than
TO get an insufficient site and an made
luate building
If, on the other hand, the proposed
site should be shown to be without de.

tion and the erection thereon of large,
handsome, suitable and commodious
building should not win the approval

\ REPUBLICAN YEAR.

Yesterday was the first anniversary
of Mr.. Harrison's Inauguration as Presi-
dent of the United States. On the Re.
publican side of political parties there
is o natural desire to represent the year
of Republican Administration, which
has passed, as a successful year
OF that desire perhaps the article in the
March Forum" by Senator Dawes, is
the most conspicuous illustration. Yet,
while that article is very wordy and
diffuse. the Senator fails to make good
impression; for while an administra-
ton may very justly claim immunity
during its first year in regard to what
II has not accomplished. it should be
able in that time to make clear show
ing of its purposes.
The main points on which Mr.. Dawes
rests his defense of Republican rule
fuing the past year are the Samoan
Treaty, the assembling of the Pan
American Congress, the state of tariff
reform and the assured progress OF
Civil Service Reform. On all of these
topics the developments of the future

can scarcely be regarded as warranting
enthusiastic congratulation.

into the tolls Of guerrilla party which

II the chances were even. The Pan
American Congress has been enveloped
in mist and mystery, and much caAnot

value.
The attitude Of the Government in re-
gard TO the finances of the country is
alleged by Mr.. Dawes TO be "uuequivo-
calIy for tariff reform and for a reduc-
lion of Treasury receipts to those actua
expenditures which a rigid economy
alone will Justify" But thus far it has
not gone beyond an attitude, ant

SENATOR NANcE's claim that 'eXe-
cutive sessions are the Senator'S private
affair isa most extra ordinary assump-
tion. What Senatorial duty as such can
possibly be private matter? There
are, beyond doubt, occasions when the
delicacy of the questions to be con
sidered-as in the case of international
relations-makes secrecy desirable, but
this secrecy does not in the least make a
Senator's duty "a private affair" He
is as much bound to regard his action
done in executive session as being the
performance of duty as if it were
done in open session, and for that per-
formaDce his constituents will hold him
duly responsible. Senator Vance does
not often seek to avoid his account
ability, and he is almost the last man
that one would have expected to declare
that official work done by a Senator
for the people, no matter how or when,
is private affair
