Compelled by congressional niggardliness
to dependence upon individual liberality
many companies Of the District National
Guard this year go into camp at their own
expense. Some will go to Virginia, some to
Maryland, others to New Jersey; all have
1t on their program to add to their store Of
military knowledge; all will shed luster on
the reputation Of the local brigade. That
the command Is effective Is most creditable,
for there has been a succession Of adverse
circumstances which would have discour-
aged men less actively tenacious than Gen.
Ordway and his faithful coadjutors. While
wideawake states have been appropriating
reasonably large sums for the support Of
their soldiers. Congress has been unfairly
selfish as to one Of the best brigades In the
country. Sufficient money should be pro-
vided for the establishment Of an annual en-
campment at Fort Washington. When men
are willing to devote the time necessary to
make them fairly proficient in military
duties, the governing power-whether 1t be
state or national-will, II 1t Is sensible
meet them at least half way. The time may
come, and probably will. when this re-
public will have urgent need for every ma
tional guardsman. II the appropriations
were made in business-like way the en-
campments could be had for the sum now
expended in other directions. Every year 50
much money Is set aside for armory rents
and from this one item alone enough could
be saved for brigade camp did Congress
only build suitable armory for the entire
command. capitalization Of the amount
paid for rented premises would do yery
much more than erect such building as Is
needed To be truly economical Congress
must spend a little more money at one time

Congress in session means a great deal tn
Washington. This time 1t means the cpen
Ing up of many congressional homes Mt
least three months earlier than usual and
with the probabilities that once the dornes-
tic machinery is set In motion 1t will con-
tinue to operate until June roses bloom
again. The cabinet families either are or
soon will be here, and in the ordinary
course Of events must remain here for sew
eral months. With the presence Of the gcy-
ernments official heads and of most Of
those folks whose personality and hospital
ity assist in making the national capital
one OF the most unique and Interesting
cities in the world there is no good reason
why that undeniable power commonly call
ed society should not have a great big
inning. 1t will have much to ID, for politi-
cal asperities must be tempered, and there
are clouds that need to be brightly lined
National legislators are going 20 be called
on for a more than ordinary amount of Of
fetal labor, but there is here every tempta-
ton for the tired man to rest and enjoy
himself. 1t can be stated on the authority
of the greatest travellers that SO FAR as ply
steal comfort is concerned IL Is impossible
to strike better average-climatologica OF
otherwise-than in this city by the Poto-
mac; a fact well worth remembering. With
in the city limits are thousands of beauti-
full homes. without the boundary but easily
to be reached are places of residence every
whit as desirable. OF formal social events
there will be none during the present
month, but in September there will be ami
mated social life; and the activity will
know no cessation until the coming of mid
summer heat almost a year hence.

1t Is to be deeply regretted that a sense
of duty compelled lady managers Of the
Worlds Fair to behold dances on the
Midway Plaisance which they afterward
denounced as degradingly indecent. 1t is
also a sad reflection on masculine veracity
that no man could be selected to make the
investigation upon whose report the lady
managers could rely.

when 1t says that he has expressed himself
as distinctly in favor of the employment OF
those who are best qualified to fill situations
in the government offices, quite regardless
Of any political consideration which may
be pressed on his notice" The Presidents
appointments have, in the main, been good.
but up to this time political considerations
have prevailed with what most democrats
would regard as praiseworthy unanirnity.
The new plan, as 1T comes to us from Lon
don. provides for the examination of can
didates by board las completely stran-
ger to partisan Influences as the Supreme
Court Of the United States. the President
only reserving to himself the right to ap-
point to the very highest Offices. This
scheme-rather pleasing in appearance to
those who believe in the application OF bus
mess principles to governmental employ
nent-is said by the Telegraph to be sure
Of warm democratic support in Congress
and viii not meet with any very active
hostility on the part Of republicans.
The conclusion that democratic Congress-
men would endorse any such proposition
is surely erroneous. The millennium Is
still out Of sight.

Washingtonians who are inclined to be
critical have for some time past been CIV
ing free and unlimited utterance to sarcasm
which was aimed at the local base ball
team. and as the unfortunate aggregation
sinks slowly but surely into the only place
to which IT has the shadow of a title the
sarcasm becomes more venomously voluble.
This Is wrong; 1t is inexcusable. Some
years ago a trooper of the ninth cavalry
was driving an ambulance team tn-uus:
the toughest portion Of South Dakota and
by his overcaution while on a slippery hill
side upset the conveyance and wrought
injury to couple Of the occupants. He
was profuse in his apologies and would
probably have been apologizing yet had not
one Of the overturned officers said: You
needn't beg my pardon, you were not re-
sponsible. Your Creator never intended
that you should drive an ambulance: He
meant you to shovel dirt" And that Is the
situation as to the ball team which bears
this city's name on its aggregative breast
and yet manages at the same time to drag
that name through the mud. II the men
were naturally fitted for such violent ex-
ercise as the national game calls for then
they could be held to accountability for
failure. but in view Of their evident unfit
ness for even mediocrity in the field Of
athletic endeavor 1t Is extremely unfair to
charge them with responsibility. If the
management will entertain one or two
practical suggestions we will endeavor to
show how the situation may be readjusted
so that the nine could do themselves credit
and at the same time contribute 70 popular
pleasure. Instead of prancing over the
diamond and its turf-covered vicinage they
might each be burdened with full-size hod
and, sufficiency of ladders having been
provided. then be called upon to prove
which could carry the most brick in the
least time from the street to the top Of a
five-story building; in this way they would
timber up their muscles and do real good.
After few days hodcarrying might be
monotonous (although there would be va
riety in the releasing Of men who slipped
on the ladder near the top floor and the
engaging of others more sure Of FOOT, 50 1t
would be well to give the players a chance
to show folks how they could handle picks
and shovels and wheelbarrows in the work
Of excavating foundations and cellars. and
once in awhile arrangements should be
made for a great competitive exhibition of
wood-chopping and saving in the hall
grounds. This popular idea that because
our team cannot play average ball It is of
no account Is most unfair.
