Fair via the Pennsylvania r. r.
AS the period of the existence OF the
Worlds Columbian Exposition draws to a
close the demand grows stronger for the
economical and satisfactory means of
reaching Chicago provided heretofore by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company. Re-
cognizing the urgency of this popular need,
that company has fixed few additional
dates on which excursions of the same
character as the previous ones will be run
September 10Th, 23d, 2Sth, October I'd, 11th,
18th, and 21st are the days selected from
New York, Philadelphia, and points east OF
Pittsburg and Erie and north of York.
The special trains will be composed Of
the standard coaches for which the Penn
sylyania Railroad Company is noted. and
the arrival in Chicago at an early hour the
following afternoon obviously gives ample
opportunity for the securing of accommo-
dations at that place.
The trains will leave New York 900 a. M.
Jersey City 9:13, Newark 9:25, Elizabeth i9:3ss
New Brunswick 9:53, Trenton 1923, Phila.
delphia 11:30, Frazier 1900 p M, Downing.

Dancaster 1:2s, Conewago Isl. Harrisburg
300 r. m, Lewistown Junction 4:30, Tyrone
500, Altoona 700, and Pittsburg 1000 p. m
The excursion rate, good only on the spec
ial train and valid for return within Ter
days, $40 from New York, $l8.25 from
Philadelphia, and proportionately low from
otherstations. Return tickets are good fol
ten days.
These trains will be run on fast schedule
and will be provided with al modern con
veniences with the exception of Pullman
cars.

Wisely. and with the best interests Of the city
as heart, the Senate District Committee yester-
day decided to report favorably and without
amendment the liquor license bill which on
Monday last was passed BY the House. That
there are weak places in the measure must be
evident to any one who will read it carefully,
but that it provides for an infinitely better
state Of affairs than now exists is
certain. A single amendment would send
the bin back to the House and into
the r.aelstrom of conference committee
whence 1t might issue-if it ever issued-in a
most unsatisfactory shape. Whatever amend
nents may be necessary can receive proper
attention in the next Congress, but there should
be no effort made to improve the proposed
legislation in the few DAYS which intervene be-
tween this and the 4th Of March. The Senate
has ALWAYS befriended the District. Let it now
accept the report Of the District committee and
1t once pass the bill in which every citizen can
not be otherwise than deeply interested. Half
. loaf is better than no bread

With reasonable rapidity, due regard being
had for the magnitude Of the proposition,
President Harrison has 50 moved in the
Hawaiian matter as to present the Senate with
his views on annexation in company with q
draft Of the treaty entered into by the Secre-
tary of State and the Hawaiian commissioners.
Accompanying the message and treaty IL
material that makes plain the governmental
history OF the islands from the date Of their
discovery. In the minds of those who have
watched the trend Of public sentiment on this
important matter there can be no doubt as
30 the course which will be pursued by
the Senate. The treaty will. perhaps, be
amended in some respects after lengthy
debate, but viii be ratified by large
and enthusiastic majority. Most public men
whose political vision is in good condition see
that Hawaii must be owned either by the United
States or BY Great Britain The situation ID
clear. and when the question Is as to whether
this republic or the Victorian empire shall con-
troll affairs in the Pacific only one answer on
the part Of America is possible. All the latest
AdvIces from Minister Stevens, which we're

cate general desire on the part of Hawaiian resi-
dents TO be sheltered beneath the stars and

respect should be paid. Neither this nor the
incoming administration would lift ringer TO
reins:ate Hawaiian monarchy. so it begins to
be apparea; that annexation is the only logical
result Of the present situation

The Baltimore and Ohio terminal improve
rent plans are somewhat disfgured but still
IN the ring Every time they travel from the
Senate committee room to Baltimore they re-
turn to Washington giving visible evidence Of
fresh and recent mutilation. The latest
cuts and slsshes to which the plans
have been subjected reach dangerously
near the vital parts. and it is feared that one
more round-trip to Baltimore will completely
destroy their beauty and usefulness. The orig
inal proposition. to which it was understood
the road WAS committed, was to unite the
two branches q considerable distance outside
Of the city limits. the main line
crossing north Of Kendall Green to join the
Metropolitan branch. to begin the elevated
structure as far north lexington and to
bring the united lines down a single street
Delaware avenue-to the existing station site.
The present proposition retains the two
branches Of the road within the city limits
and reduces little. if at all. the
street occupation of the road. Instead Of
beginning the elevated structure as far out as
lexington. there is no elevation until the city
limits are reached and for three squares this
elevation is not s1ficien: to carry the railroad
over the streets at height which will
permit the latter to retain their present
grade. These streets are to burrow under
the tracks. The Senate committee ought at
the very least to insist that the elevation begin
sufficiently far from the city to cause every
street TO be cleared by the railroad bridge
without a change of grade. The erection of
this kind Of structure will eliminate the north
cas-. Washington grade crossings whether
the area of street occupation by the road
is reduced or not 1t is reasonably clear. how
ever, tina. the road has not intended that the
present Congress should legislate for it on the
subject Of terminal improvements. and if the
rssrogrsde tendencies that have been noted
continue to prevail Heaven only knows what
shape the plans to be presented to the next
Congress will take. Possibly all the inter-ected
streets may be compelled to dive under the
tracks in subways

Students OF latter-day political economy be-
came very much interested when il was an
nouuced that Representative ". II. Springer.
chairman of the committee on WAYS and means
would tell his felIow-democrats how to revise
the tariff. This interest was not unnatural. for
Immediately after the presidential election there
had been manifest. on the part Of prominent
democratic legislators desire to say as little as
possible about party intentions on the complex
subject Republicans did the best the, knew
how TO secure few selected opinions which
might indicate the course to be taken BY their
opponents and be useful for partisan purposes.
but they only succeeded ia extracting contra
dictions and guesses that were Of no value
whatever. So when Mr.. Springer wrote an
article 10 the North American Reuie,c for the
purpose Of making everything plain much was
expected But the conclusions reached by the
leader Of the House do not seem TO have pleased
many Of the strong men who supported Cleye-
land. for Mr.. Springers argument has within
IL very much of protection. The fundamen-
tai principles Of the argument advanced

Il there anything novel in the manner Of theil
presentation They were enunciated nearl,
nifty years ago by Robert J. Walker, then Sec,

Springer quotes him, that more money

nent should be economically administered; tina
no duty should be imposed above the loves
rate which will yield the largest amount o
revenue. that, below the revenue standard
Congress may discriminate as to the rate, ans
may admit certain articles free Of duty; tina
the maximum duties should be imposed on lux
nries; that specific duties be abolished and a,
valorem duties substituted in their place; an.
tina, the duties should be 80 imposed as d
