Among the many congressman who appear
to have been rejected by the people they
most certainly misrepresented are two whose
departure will not be inourned by any thing
more than an incunsiderable fraction of the
interested public-William s. Holman and
Alexander N. Dockery. The first-named
has been a negatively conspicuous figure in
national politics ever since the opening Of
the Thirty-sixth Congress and during his
lengthy connection with legislative matters
built up for himself an entirely unique repu-
tation. He has always been a persistent OBJ
jectOr: he has never been identified with any
OF the great measures that had as their
object the national welfare; he has often
Distracted meritOrious bills because he
deemed all public expenditures wasteful TN
less the money appropriated was expended
In the Fourth Indiana District; he has
achieved reputation rs the watchdog Of the
Treasury-who imagined that his bark was
thunder and that only his growing person
ality stood between the nation and a power
ty resulting from extravaganza. 1t will be
admitted that there were times when Mr..
Holman's legislative penuriousness worked
No harm but in the great majority Of cases

1t did serious injury to important public
interests. Mr.. Dockery has had fewer op-
portunities to achieve unpopularity. His
first appearance in national politics was
when he took the oath as a member of the
Forty-eighth Congress. He has not ne
elected many opportunities to follow in Mr.
Holman's footsteps. In some respects, per-
haps, he has developed tendencies more
parsmonious than those ever displayed by
his Hoosier preceptor; especially with re-
gard to departmental matters. Under the
Guise. of an enemy to official red-tape Mr.
Dockery has completely upset several of the
executive departments and doubtless will, If
the opportunity is afforded him. upset the
remainder of them. In order that the num-
Der of employees SHOULD be lessened and the
appropriations correspoudinsly reduced Mr..
Dockery removed checks that made any
thing like extensive dishonesty utterly i'm
possible; The Star has more than once
pointed out how easy it now Is to get
money out of the Treasury illegitimately.
AS chairman of the District subcommittee
on appropriations Mr.. Dockery has been q

important local improvements; conscien-
tious, ii may be- but nevertheless unsympa-
thetic and decidedly illiberal in his dealings

Washington to provide Christmas cheer for

which. forming each year about a month
before the Yule-tide, have been able to seek
cut deserving cases and to pfovide means
for giving them comfort and pleasure.
These clubs have been very successful ever
since their organization, three years ago,
and il has been the purpose of The Star to
organize one this year soon as the time
was ripe. Bat IL would seem that the kind
folks of Washington have grown SO firmly
into the habit of giving to this worthy char
ity each season that they do not wait for
the formal announcement Of the clubs or
ganization. This was evidenced yesterday.
when The Star received ten dollars a
starter for the fund of the Club without the
least solicitation or suggestion. This money
was deposited with the cashier of this paper

Illegal practices: both republican and demo-
cratic Houses have done such things In
recent times. The Maryland republican
comnitteeS however. is satisfied with things

any further assault on democracy would
be cruel and indecent. With all the ma
chinery necessary for the infliction of all

indeed, magnanimous when it refrains from
attempting to add to the republican ma

The Board of Trade will hold its annual
meeting Monday evening and will, among
other subjects, consider the resolution of
the Boards directors favoring the extern
sion of civil service rules to offices under
the District government. 1t is stated upon
good authority that this extension cannot
be possible until the basic law has been
amended. For a while 1t was supposed that
a presidential order was all that was need
ed to make the reform sure, but investiga-
ton has, 1t is said. developed an obstacle
that can only be removed by Congress. To
the task of securing the necessary amend

In his annual report, synopsis of which
has been printed in The Star. Gen. Casey,
Chief of Engineers, u. S. A, once more
calls attention to the well-known fact that
the Long Bridge is a continuous menace to
this city. Gen. Casey makes reference to
Major Davis report as to the necessity of
rebuilding the bridge; the necessity, be-
cause should a freshet occur when the Po-
tomac is full of ice great damage might
reasonably be expected. The piers of the
bridge are of such faulty construction that
the probabilities favor an ice-gorge. and
an ice-gcrge would back Up the water so
that on the surface and through the sew
ers a considerable. portion of the lower
part of the city would be flooded This
topic has been worn threadbare; has been
discussed from every possible point of view
until nothing new remains To be said. Con-
gress has been asked to put things right,
but. with its usual complaisance toward
great corporations the national legislature
has RETAINED from the compulsory action
that wisdom dictates. Great damage was
done in The summer of 1889, solely because
the Long Bridge acted as dam and forced
the flood back over the city's waterfront

who may suffer through the obstructive
ness of the ancient and dangerous and
Acknowledgements bridge will have good
ground for suit against the Pennsylvania
Railroad Company. Representatives of that
rich and powerful organization have again
and again stated to the people of this city,
through various mediums. that a new
bridge vas contemplated. Those same rep
~esentatives have also made other state
ments which were received with applause
by hundreds who have since died and by
thousands who are weary of waiting for
the fulfillment of even one promise Will

Reports come from Athens that the ex-
isting remnant Of the Parthenon was seri-
ously damaged by earthquakes last spring
and Is now in very bad repair. There Is
reason to, believe that this building, with
it's great start in point of time. may give
its chief rival for honors as an architectural
wreck, the Government Printing Office. a
hard push for first place. The Printing
Office, to be sure. has had no earthquake
to help it along. but II has done WELL never
theless. 1t is probable that any fair-minded
jury would award the palm to the local
building as one of the most finished ex-
amples of structural weakness in the
world. The odds are great that the Par
thenon will be repaired and put in good
condition long before there Is a new print
ing office. Any takers?

That people soon weary OF populism is
evidenced by the election returns that have
come tumbling in during the present week.
At first 1t appeared as though populism had
been utterly defeated-wiped completely off
the political slate-but later figures show
that while the populist tickets were unsuc-
'cessful in states and districts where populis-
tic ideas have controlled for the past year or
two, they were in a majority in places where
a majority was least expected. This result Is
perhaps not surprising: there was great po-
litical and reI sonal discomfort in the land,
and 1t not unnatural that folks who
had suffered through conditions for which
they believed one or the other of the old
parties was responsible should have fed Tor
refuge to the fimsy shelter of populism, in
spite-of the fact that populism Is the most
vicious and foolish and inexcusable of all the
n any ''isms" this country has ever known.
Thus it is that the third party breaks out in
ew places, bat its failure to hold It's own in
states where it was believed to be firmly in
trenched gives grol nd for the belief that
year or SO of experience will satisfy the de-
serters that by adherence to populism they
have nothing to gain and everything to
lose. But little while ago populist orators
announced the completion of their plans for
the wiping out of existence of one or other
of the two old parties in all the great re-
gion west of the Mississippi. but the indis-
putable figures show that success came only
in spots-unexpected spots. 1t is truly
markable that for SO long period as two
or three years, SO many Presumably-intelli-
gent people in Colorado and Kansas allowed
themselves to believe in all manner of alb
surd doctrines. but it seems as though the
experience of Kansas and Colorado is of no
value in California, or Texas, or North
Carolina; experience is one Of those things
that everybody must buy for himself.
