The average taxpayer, the honest and I'M
assuming citizen who thinks that govern
mental business should be conducted in &C
cordance with the principles by which pri-
yate enterprises are profitable, will, II he is
informed on the subject, indorse the propo-
sition to place in charge OF Gen. Thomas
Lincoln Casey, chief of engineers, the con-
structi0n Of the new post office building,
as well as the building of a safe and capa-
cious government printing Office. There is
great probability that these propositions
will become facts during the coming ses-
sion of Congress, for, from the utterances
of Chairman Sayers of the House commit
tee on appropriations, and Senator Cock
rel1. chairman Of the same committee of the
Senate. it is evident that those two powers
have given the idea hearty Endorsement.
AL the work which has been done in this
city under the supervision Of Gen. Casey
has been well done. The State. War and
Navy building, the Washington monument
and the almost-completed Congressional
Library building tell the tale with convinc-
ing force. Solidity of construction. achieved
economically AMI yet without sacrificing
an essential detail or an artistic effect,
challenges comparison. In every instance
the work has been done within the time
planned, for less than the original estimate
Of cost, and in a manner creditable to the
government and to- the national capital.
In the construction of the State. War and
Navy and the new Library buildings Gen.
Casey has been ably assisted by one of the
most thoroughly competent civil engineers
in the country-Mr. Bernard Greenland to
him would be committed the details of su-
perintendence- should Congress decide to
do that which it ought to do as to the lin
gering post Office and the imperatively
needed printing office structures. The
transition from politics of the most ex-
pensively practical sort to the economy of
non-partisan business is extremely de-
sirable. Our public buildings should COM
bine in their construction the best archi-
tectural thought and unexceptionable quail
tiles Of material and workmanship, but they
Eever will so long as the politician has
control.

A Question.
Not q Party Victory.
Ex-Mayor Hewitt on the Election.

Ell mayor Hewitt the Election.
Il regard the election just past as the
most important since the time of Tweed
Everywhere the bosses have been rebuked
and decent citizens have asserted their
rights. The bosses and their rings had be-
come nearly omnipotent, lacking only the
control Of the judiciary to complete their
absolute control. The nomination of May
nard was tentative Had the people ap-
proved it there is no saying to what lengths
the ring would have gone. Therefore the
rebuke administered Is most timely and
telling. The result is not the victory or the
defeat of any party, but indicates that the
people are ready to disregard party ties
when the stake is great enough to evoke the
moral sentiment of the masses"

A few among New York's republicans.
unreasonabIy exultant over the happenings
Of Tuesday, have proposed the honoring of
Thomas c. Piatt and the chairmen of the
republican state and city committees by
serenades and acknowledgements ad-
dresses. This is absurd. No sane being
who knows anything of the causes that re-
suited IN republican victory in New York
state is willing to ascribe any degree o.
credit to the republican machine. That
organiTation-less Objectionable than Tam
many only because it is less powerful and
has. fewer opportunities-was not in any
sense a factor. 1t was inactive from the
day when II nominated one of the weakest
tickets ever known in the city of New York
and state ticket that was designed to
be sacrificed. At no time in recent years
has the conscientious voter seen in either
the republican or democratic machine OF
New York anything that looked like clean
politics and this discreditable condition of
affairs kept thousands of decent voters
away from primaries, conventions and
POLLS. The republican managers who man
ipulated the nominations for the recent
election in the empire state had no hope
OF success and really did not desire Il. For
a mess of patronage they have again and
again sold the interests of the party which
they pretended to serve and there is ample
testimony Of close relationship with the
worst elements of their political opponents
They had calculated upon defeat at this
time In the execution of a deal by which
democratic support for the republican can
didate for judge of appeals at the last cleo
ton was to be repaid by allowing the cleo
ton Of the democratic candidate CIay-
nard) for judge this year. But the plans of
the bosses" of both parties were sunk
under the great wave of non-partisan de-
cency that swept over the state

PokinE Fun at 1.-THE Thunderer.,
From the New York Sun.

New 1Ork
Our esteemed contemporary, the London
Times, has ears that reach far, and small
indeed Is the sound that can escape them.
Mr. Cleveland" it says, may now think
1t advisable to break with Tammany and
discard Hornblower." The Times should
wait week. If Alaska should vote the
democratic ticket, this prediction will not
be verified. We must inform the Times
too, that there will be a general election
Of United States Senators next April, and
that the Hon. HOke Smith of the home de-
partment will stand for Atlanta. In partc-
ular we would advise the Times to keep its
eye upon Chihuahua and the by-election in
Jagtown.

The Geary Act Extension,
From the Omaha Bee.

We shall soon know whether the Chinese
residents in this country are disposed to
obey the law requiring their registra ton I'M
der the Geary act within six months. If
they use the extension Of time for the pur-
pose for which it was intended this may be
the end of Chinese legislation for some time

Trolley advocates who are wiIfully blind
to the merits of any other system of street
car propulsion are discreetly dumb lust
now as to the work that is being done by
the company that controls and operates the
Second avenue line in New York city. Since
last May six storage battery cars have been
in constant use, and so well is the company
satisfied with the motor-both from the
electrical and commercial standpoints-that
1t has decided, 1t is said, to increase the
number OF cars and to extend the trips
farther down town. Discussing the motor
critically the Electrical World says that
the engineering details of the experiment
have been more carefully worked out and
the commercial factors more systematically
noted than in other experiments of the
kind, and 'the figures presented are not
only encouraging, but exceedingly favor
able, in comparison with competing systems
of street railway traction" The Electrical
Engineer says that the result obtained on
the Second avenue line has shown that in
practicability and reliability storage-bat,ery
traction can be depended upon to fill the
needs OF the most exacting conditions. -
From the day when the overhead trolley
patents passed into the possession of a.
great monopoly capital has suborned brains
~ ueSlEOy competition, ana mas frequently
succeeded in discouraging storage battery
inventions of the most promising types.
This discreditable conduct resulted, doubt
less, in great financial gain for the mo-
nopoly, for the public rage for rapid transit
-artfully stimulated by agents in all grades
Of society-brought about the establishment
and re-equipment Of many roads, Inef-
ectual experiments with storage batteries
in this city were used as clubs bv the troll
ley fiends, who by a strange sort Of logic
tried TO make 1t appear that nothing was
available for street car use save only the
most murderous and unsightIy of all pro-
pulsive machinery. But the underground
trolley has demonstrated unquestionable
superiority, and now comes good news from
New York. The ideal street car motor is to
be operated by a storage battery, and it will
soon be along. for the trolley monopoly has
about reached the conclusio. that its sun
Is setting in a hurry

At this time the position of the yachts
appeared to be about even, with the

At 1910 it was impossible to sight both
