Inc impression Is rapidly gaining ground
among the thoughtful minds that the Cox
sys and Brownies and other head ccnters
OF the movement that is now impelling a
crowd Of misguided men in the direction of
Washington are extremely anxious to be ar
rested and treated to what they may de-
nounce as an indignity in order to pose as
martyrs before the country. All their ut
terances tend TO show this. While loudly
Wanting the peaceable intentions of the
alleged army they take very god care to
announce in ambiguous terms that some
thing awful will happen IL they are baked
by the minions of the law in their inten-
ton Of raiding the capital of the nation
The closer the crusade comes to Wash
ington the louder are the invitations of
Its leaders for obstruction OF their journt "
They will not be martyred. The excellent
good sense OF the American people, which
Is already shown in the laws by which
communities have surrounded themselves
TO protect them from foes from without
as well as those within, will be found able
and ready and alert to meet the emergency
To be subjected to the equal operation of
the same laws which are applied to ALL
other Americans is not to suffer martyr
dom, and to except a body of men from the
operation of certain laws because they
threaten TO disregard and break them is
not American common sense. 1t Ia high

the people of the United States have de-

aside the ballot, they attempt to secure

The Metropolitan railroad bill passed the
House yesterday in fairly good shape.
With the pleas of the statute of limitations
and lack of notice out OF the way, the
District ought to be able to defend sue
cessfully on its merits the decision of the
lower court in the paving bill case. The
provisions of the bill in respect to motive
power are reasonably satisfactory. The
forfeiture provision. which. when IL passed
as an amendment. was made to apply to a
failure Of the road to complete it's under
ground electric system In twelve months
Is now apparently. by the intervention of
an amendment requiring the Lincoln park
extension, confined to the failure to COM
plete this extension. OF course, this limi-
tation upon the forfeiture provision was
not in the least intended, and the mistake
will doubtless be rectified before the bill
becomes a law.

BY q bill introduced yesterday Repre-
sentative Timothy J. Campbell makes 1t
plain that he disapproves Of the method
which postpones until thirteen months az
ter election the organization Of each new
Congress. The reform proposed II ID 7Jno
sense a new one. but its lack Of novelty.
does not imply lack Of merit. It IL little
less than absurd that the representatives
who will be elected In November next will
not take their seats-unless there be an ex-
ira session-until December. 1898. The gap
is far too wide; frequently the views Of the
country undergo radical change with such
rapidity that the man who II elected In the
November Of one year II really q misrepre-
sentative In the December of the year fol-
lowing. II Congress proposes to take up
the revived proposition, into the nostrils Of
which Mr.. Campbell IL endeavoring to
breathe the breath of life, 1t should 70 q
little further and change the date Of the
presidential Inauguration a. well. Once In
several years the fourth Of March In a fine
day. but more frequently It II Indictment
and productive Of considerable increase In
the rate Of mortality. There IL no euaran-
tee that the sun will shine undimmed on
every thirtieth day Of April and there might
even be rain on that date. but the chances
are all against opportunities for freezing
opportunities too frequently present during
the first week In March. There IL no good
reason apparent why there should even be
four months of Q hiatus between congress
sional election and the organisation Of the
House. Why may 1t not be that the House
which Is elected In November be organized
month later and at once proceed to do
the business for which 1t was elected?

The state which Senator Mcmillan In
part represents Is deeply interested In
those provisions of the Wilson bill which
promise to give Canada a decided CONNER
cial advantage over this country, and
should the bill now under discussion be-
come law without further amendment
Michigan and all other border states would
suffer seriously, the Senator argues,
from competition In which the cheaper
labor Of Canada could not but be VIC
torious- There is abundant food for
thought In the one fact that the manu-
features Of Detroit alone. representing a
capital Of over $45.0OoOOo, and paying an
nual wages in excess of $4,000, 900, are
shut on. of a territory to which nature has
furnished the easiest possible access: but
to the products Of Canada the doors are to
be opened" The Senator advocates as a
temporary measure of relief the fairest
sort OF reciprocity. but he hopes for politi-
cal union He says that no American can
doubt that the ultimate destiny Of Canada
Is to become a part Of the United States
and declares that that day will be q well
come one to the people of Michigan, who
are now hemmed in on the east by a ter
ritory with which there are no fair ex-
char ges. The people of the Dominion also
would reap great advantage from the union
winch may NOT long De delayed Inc Sena-
tor points out clearly who will be benefited
should this part of the Wilson bill become
law. ITO the dreamers Of a great northern
empire" said he. 'the lovers of political
power for its own sake, to the tory party
Of Canada. annexation means humiliation.
To them in their extremity, the Wilson bill
comes-aS II comes to every foreign ma
tion-brtnging Joy In the prospect Of larger
markets and greater profits while to our
own people its portion is smaller wages and
restricted activities" The Senator's ap-
parently well-founded belief Is that the
Wilson bill in its present shape would bene-
at several important Canadian industries,
eorrespondingly damage similar industries
now operated on this side of the internal
tional boundary line and put of the day
when the Canadian provinces will enter the
Union OF states

Capt Derby, in his lecture delivered last
night at the invitation Of the Sanitary
League. made exceedingly plain two i'm
rortant facts One was that the need Of
the District for q modern and adequate sys-
tenn Of sewerage Is great. and the other
that the plan Congress seems to have ia
vored Of carrying opt the project Of the
sewer commission by piecemeal. at rate
that will require half a century to complete
1t. II the height Of folly, not from q sanitary
point Of view only. but from the financial
point of view as well. The plans made
were designed to meet the requirements of
the District for forty years. according to
the calculations as to the growth Of the
city made by the sewer commission The
present rate at which appropriations are
made will not provide for the completion
OF the sewers until some years after the
forty years have expired So Capt. Derby
made . strong argument In favor Of the
proposal to authorize an issue of bonds to
provide for the completion of the system
at once. holding that this would be. for
rartous reasons, the most economical plan.
The system devised by the sewer commits
sion. and which has received the approval
Of Congress. makes provision for something
more than the disposal of the sewage Of
the city; 1t Is intended to give protection
to the lower parts of the city from floods.
and to 30 reduce the level Of the ground
water as to make 1t practicable to have
deeper cellars and foundations In the low
areas. 1t promises general benefits to the
District by providing an effective means Of
sewage disposal. and at the same time an
Improvement in the condition Of certain
portions Of the city, and an exemption from
destructive overiows. which measured in
money would be worth far more than the
entire cost Of the project. Capt. Derby's
address was not an appeal to Congress, but
was intended to explain to citizens the
plans made for lettering the sewerage
system Of the city; but 1t made the situa-
ton DO plain that 1t ought to be read and
carefully considered by the legislators who
have immediate charge Of measures af-
fscting the District.
