you have doubtless heard Of the Blod-
gett estate, which comprised a large part
of the northwest section Of the city. Well.
in 1880, on what is now the east front Of the
general post office. there was a brick build
ing. owned and occupied by Mr.. Blodgett,
while where the patent Office now stands
there was a little log cabin, occupied by a
Mr.. and Mrs. Orr. At that time you did
not have to pay $40 and $50 foot for land
around F street, and property worth mil
lions now could have been bought for a
few paltry hundreds. Real estate men
have plenty of fine examples to point to
here In Washington of people who had
great opportunities to get rich and didn't

Search lights have become indispensa-
BILE to steamers of all classes and in mill
tary and naval operations, By their use
objects miles away can be revealed and
illumined in the darkest night, and
their powerful beams of light can be
thrown in any direction. One of the
earliest applications of the search light
in marine work was to vessels passing
through Suez Canal Formerly the pass
age could only be made in daylight, and
was very tedious and costly; now the
electric light is at the service of every
ship as it enters the canal, and the jour-
ney is, in nearly every case, pursued un-
interruptedly. A most excellent inno-
walton has been made by the Suez canal
authorities, who have pronounced that
it shall be obligatory after October l
next on all vessels passing through the
canal by light to employ an apparatus
for dividing the light Of the protector
into two divergent rays. Approaching
vessels may, by this means, travel right
up to each other without their respective
helmsmen being blinded. The diverging
apparatus which is to be used has been
devised by one ofathe agents of the COM
pany.

It is to be hoped that the attitude OF
the Republican Senators toward the
repeal bill will not be affected by the
attempt that is being made.in the House
to press the purely partisan measure
for the repeal of the election laws. There
is strong reason for the suspicion that
the election repeal matter has been
stirred up at this time by Democrats who
would really like to see the Sherman
law fail Of repeal, but want to put
large share of the responsibility for its
failure upon the Republicans. 1t
is as clear as anything can be
that the bill was introduced
at this time from some sinister
motive There are no congressional cleo
tions this year, and SO there is no occasion
for haste. The President is said to be
opposed to it at this time, regarding it
as likely to impede the passage of the
Sherman repeal bill. In all probability
if the real source of the measure could
be discovered it would be found that it
emanated from Democratic enemy of
the President and Democratic friend
of free silver, and that the chief object of
introducing it was to unfavorably affect
the repeal measure now pending in the
Senate, by stirring up partisan feeling.
The true course for the Republicans to
pursue is to treat the Sherman law repeal
bill and the bill regarding the election
laws as distinct measures with no posi-
BILE connection between them; and to
consider each of them upon its merits
with no reference to the other. To re-
fusesto relieve the country from the dan
gers of the Sherman law because the
Democrats were threatening to turn the
congressional elections in our great cities
over to the tender mercies of thugs and
ballot box suffers, would be most alb
surd sort of performance. The right
thing for the Republican Senators to do
if they believe the Sherman law is dam
gerous is to vote for its repeal, without
regard to what the Democrats may do
with the election laws; and because if it
is the right thing it is the polite thing.

SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER le.

Mr.. Lawrence Neal, Democratic candl-
date for governor Of Ohio and author OF
the tariff plank in the Demoratic nation
al platform, in his opening speech in the
Ohio. campaign. stood up like man and
argued that protection was just what it
was declared to be in the Democratic
platform, fraud and robbery, and that
it ought to be abolished. Mr.. Meals ut
terances were in creditable contrast to
the hedging and lodging of the Eastern
Democrats, and some Western Democrats

gan, who doesn't want the duty on iron
disturbed because there are large iron
industries in his district.

calamity which they fear, and they at
heart really welcome delay as affording
opportunity for the. discovery of some
such compromise. Senator German is
one of these men. In the. third place if
every one ofssthe repealers was sincere it
is very doubtful if the bill could be
brought to vote in the face of the de-
termined opposition of the silver men.
1t is useless to talk about the adoption OF
rules to limitsdebate TheIprospect that
the Senate will do that is not worth
considering. The only resource is to
tire out the silver men, butxinsthe firing
out process the advantage is all with
them, since they need to keep only
one of their mum Der on guard, while the
repealers must be present all of the time
in force in order to keep a quorum. 1t
is within the bounds of possibility to
exhaust the silver men, but it is ex-
tremely improbable that it can be done.
The Portland daily press., 1893-09-16

Senator Frye is reported as saying that
he does not expect the Senate will pass
the repeal bill. In his opinion the op-
ponents will succeed by flibustering in
Shaving off vote. We are inclined to
think that everybody who has carefully
watched the proceedings in the Senate
for a week past must be of the same
mind. In the first place, there is much
reason for doubling the sincerity of the
senator whose business it is as chairman
of the finance committee, to lead and
direct the repeal movement. We refer
to Mr.. Voorhees,. His performances in
respect to the bill have been character
lied throughout by faint-heartedness.
The only occasion on which he has shown
any spirit was when Senator Hale under
took to facilitate progress by suggesting
an carrier meeting and longer sessions of
the Senate. Then he flew into violent
passion and scolded like fish wife. But
to the silver senators he has .roared as
gently as sucking dove. A single OBJ
lection from one of them was enough to
induce him to promptly withdraw his
1lOblOn TO nA uay lOr yOte. anu 20
apologize for making it. Apparently all
he has been doing is marking time. If
he has made any progress it is so small
as not to be discernible to the ordinary
vision. In the second place there are
several Democratic senators besides
Voorhees, who, though ostensibly in favor
of repeal, and who will vote for it if
division is ever reached, view with
alarm the prospect of a disruption of
their party,,if silver is degraded" These
men are hoping and looking for some
sort of compromise that will avert the
