One thing made evident by the discus
sion In the Senate Of the bin pro-
viding for the erection Of hall of
records was the desirability Of the
adoption Of some general plan to
provide for the many new public build
tngs which must some time be erected In
Washington That discussion showed that
at this time not one building only Is need
ID. but several. to relieve the overc-owded
condition Of the public Offices It was ap-
parent also that there Is uncertainty as to
the proper location OF the proposed build
fnes. In the past whenever a bill for the
erection of a public building in this city
has been before Congress the sticking point
has nearly always been over the site. If
IL had not been for differences Of opinion
IN this particular a new building for the
government printing ONCE would have
been erected and occupied by This time
Each succeeding year witnesses the growth
OF the clerical force OF the government
and this condition OF affairs may be ex-
pected to continue 50 long as the popula-
ton Of the country maintains its upward
tendency. The sooner the real facts ere
met the better. Instead of dealing with
this question in half measures would IT
not be wise to secure in one purchase a
large area of land and thus provide means
for the erection OF buildings as rapidly as
they may be required? The plan OF buy
ing the squares Of ground on the south
side Of Pennsylvania avenue between 9Th
street ard 18th street has been recommend
ed by nearly everyone who has given the
matter any consideration. Either the land
should be bought in that locality or IN some
other. At any rate II Is evident that the
land question must be settled nrst before

The ride teams from the District National
Guard have done ali that they hoped to Do.
They have done all that there was To do.
They have won all the team prizes that
were to be won. and they are now coming
homo with the calm satisfaction of having
performed the fun measure Of their duty.
All glory to the boys In uniforml They
have won the Hilton trophy. the interstate
rsgimsntal match and the interstate mill
tary trophy. the 6ns bronze soldier of
Marathon In some instances their shoot
ing was up to the record made by the great
International team some years ago, while
thsir totals went considerably ahead Of any
OF the scores by which the same matches
have ever been won before. In some ways
II - too bad that Pennsylvania and New
York did not participate In the contests;
this would have made the victory rather
more gratifying to the Washington boys.
But IT does not at all detract from their
credit that the teams from those two states
preferred to withdraw rather than to suffer
defeat at the hands Of the teams from the
District National Guard The scores In the
matches were larger than ever made by
either Of these states In contests. The
Washington boys would have won Just the
samaL The body OF man from which Maj.
Harries. the Inspector general Of ride prac-
tca. and his able corps Of fellow workers
have TO draw for their rihemen b small a.
compared to the state guards Of Pennsyi-
vania and New York. and this fact makes
tnsir good work all the more creditable.
There may have been . time when the
militia were looked upon a. play soldiers.
but that time - past - IL should be. The
volunteer soldiers are admitted to Be- worthy
of al consideration and help. and this week
the District National Guard u little more
worthy than any Of the rest Of them.

The sun = having a great time Just now.
The spots which have been observed dur
ing the summer have afforded q good deal
OF food for solar gossip. and now the news
comes to The Star through Professor Lang
ley's telegraphic connection with Old Sol of
an electric disturbance beside which any
thing this earth could produce In the way
OF display would be lost. Some day. per-
haps, condutts may be constructed to de
liver electricity to the earth from the sun
In assorted quantities, and then the prob
lem Of cheap motive power for all the ma
chinery Of the world would be solved. Plan
cts wandering through space would have to
keep on the wires, or something might hap

much progress can be made towards fur
ntshtng the accommodate tons for the ex-
ecutfve departments that are now impera-
lively needed. The location Of the new hall
OF records on ground south Of Pennsylva-
MA avenue was proposed In the Senate dis
cussion and seemed to meet with no OBJ
lection. except that to prescribe any par
ttcular locality in the bill might smbar-
rass the work Of securing q site. and thus
delay the erection Of the building. The
protest made by Senators against the loca-
ton Of this or other government buildings
On the public reservations Of the city meets
with hearty echo from all who have the
welfare Of the city at heart. With the ex-
ception Of . few of the reservations which
are now occupied with buildings. 1t was
the intention Of President Washington and
OF the others who were identified with the
planning and the building of the city that
these reserved places should be held ex-
ciusfvely for parks and for the beauty
spots OF the future city, which even at
that early day was said would be the finest
city In the country. Aside from this con-
sideration Of beauty and sentiment public
parks serve az the breathing places Of the
city. Their great Importance to the health
OF cities has come to be 30 well recognize
ed that municipalities In recent years have
mace great OUTLAWS In order to repair the
denciencies Of their original plans in this
respect 1t would be q serious mistake to
Deprive Washington Of any Of the space
which the wise founders Of the city set
aside for park purposes. So all the circum-
stances seem to suggest the advisability
OF making early provision on some harmo-
NOUS plan for the location of public build
ings In the future instead of leaving the
determination Of sites to the haphazard of
the time. And there Is the additional con-
sideration that the longer the purchase is
delayed the more costly the land will be-
come

Capt. Derby. In q statement made In The
Star. has emphasized the need of over
hauling and extending the sewerage system
OF the District at an early day. He points
out that at the rate Congress has pro-
vided for carrying into effect the recon-
mendattons of the sewer commission II
win be forty-1ve years before the District
wiz be benefited. He will recommend that
nnanctel measures be authorized by Con-
gress that will permit rapid completion
OF the work. This might be done either
through q bonded loan or by means of ad-
vances made from the national treasury
Whatever way Is adopted for providing for
the expenditure, there can be no question
OF the necessity for the work urged by
Capt. Derby and Superintendent McComb.
If any one Of contrary opinion will spend a
little time inspecting the James creek canal
and visiting growing sections Of the city
that have no sewer facilities at all he will
probably soon be converted to Capt Der

It looks a. though the time might not be
far Oh when the great nations Of ths world
win resort to peaceful tactics instead Of to
the sword TO settle any disagreements that
may arise between them No better exam

cent tribunal that sat In Paris to settle the
seal question a. between this country and
England While the United States ala not

stin more than . little cause for rrat1-
lation in the victory Of the methods Of
peace and Of arbitration
And now two Of the leading nations of
Europe the two that maintain the largest

Quay Says the Senate IL Safe.

From the Philadelphia Times
Senator Quay, who is one Of the most
careful calculators In the Senate now SAYS
that the unconditional repeal Of the part of
the Sherman law requiring the purchase of
tor Quay expects a hard battle In the Sem
ate and some delay, but he Is now entirely
confident that repeal will pass without any
condition for free silver coinage on any
basis.
No member of the Senate is better advised
Of the attitude Of the various Senators on the
subject, and his judgment may be regarded
as quite as accurate as that Of any other
member Of the body He will stand square
ly by the President for a sound financial
policy, and leave party issues to he met
when the money issue Is settled.

Asphalt Comes Out Ahead.

From the New York Press.
The heavy iron cables which crushed in
the cobblestone pavements on Mercer street
passed over the asphalt on Fifth avenue be-
tween 9th street and Washington square
without NATURALLY damaging 1t. The old
plan Of Gen. John Newton for asphalt pave
ments for light traffic and stone for heavy
will have to be revised. Asphalt stands the
heavy traffic better than stone.
