In last weeks issue of the Financial Re-
view Editor Britton expounds at some
length on the absence of the speculative
feature in Washington real estate and the
steady growth Of the city toward and even
beyond the boundary lines of the District
of Columbia. No city in the country has
enjoyed such solid progress during the past
fifteen or twenty years as has been expert
enced here and nowhere else have legiti-
mate Investments resulted in a larger per-
centage of profits. Few residents are aware
OF the great density of Washington's popu-
lation within the limits of the city proper,
and many Will be surprised to learn that 1T
Is within two or three of the top of the
American list in this particular. The ten
dency now Is. therefore. toward suburban
homes although 1t will probably be at least
another decade before all the city building
lots are occupied, and this condition COM
pels attention to many matters as to which
Congress is apparently careless In a nat
ural and healthy way. large settlements
have come into existence and are now wait
ing those improvements necessary to the
welfare and comfort of those who dwell
therein. This state of facts" says the Re-
view, has grown up without speculative
stimulus, and certain necessary duties and
results In the future of the District are in
olcated therefrom. 1t means the rapid ex-
tension OF the plan of our city streets and
avenues; of our system of sewerage; Of our
school facilities; of our police and our fire
department facilities; of our water pipes
and gas mains and electrical conduits. 1t
means that We are face to face with the
present need of large and rapid extension
Oh all those instrumentalities of municipal
Improvement which minister to the health.
the morality. the Intelligence, the comfort
and the good government of a population
which has outsrown the old corpora ton
nnes and must be properly cared for in its
new and enlarged area Of homes and of
home livers."

There is probably much of exaggeration
In the stories waited across the Atlantic
as to the panic which affected British lib
erals when 1t was yesterday announced
that Gladstone would surely resign the
premiership in the near future. The liberal
party is not a weakling. and although 1t
has leaned very heavily for many years
upon the most gifted of it's members. 1t
will not fall when the most conspicuous
pillar Is removed. Composed of the best
and most wide-awake elements in British
politics. 1t is entirely too great an institu-
ton to be dependent upon one man, even
though he have phenomenal governing abil-
ity. 1t Is not to be expected, however. that
the one who succeeds William Ewart Glad
stone will. at the time of the succession,
possess so much of the public confidence as
Is freely given to the veteran statesman,
but there Is no reason why he should not
be a thoroughly capable man-for the party
has many such. That the premier to come
will be as deeply interested In the Irish
home rule question as Gladstone is and has
been is a little short of probable, but as
soon as parliament makes up its mind to
grant Ireland the comparative independence
which it asks. the personal enthusiasm of
even u prime minister, apparent on either
SlQe OF the argument, Will De lnCOnSe-
quential In some quarters there Is still
ircredulity as to Gladstone's resignation,
but the facts in the case point very clearly
to the speedy retirement from public life
of the man whom England has long de-
lighted to honor. Far advanced in years
and suffering severely from an affection Of
the eyes, Mr.. Gladstone has about reached
that stage where he Is no longer physically
fit to attend to the multifarious duties of
his high and most important office. Whether
he retires at Easter or not the day is neces-
sarily near at hand when his intimate rela-
tionship with the affairs Of state must
cease, and when that time arrives the Brit
ish empire will lose its most conspicuously
faithful servant. But the party with which
he has long been identified will not be dis
integrated by the retirement of it's leader:
1t is rich In men of wisdom. even though
only few can be regarded as approaching
to brilliancy. The sound counsel and the
convincing oratory of william Ewart Glad
stone will be lost-more's the pity-to Eng
lish liberalism ana to the empire. But the
world and the worlds business will go
right along. American citizens generally
have great admiration for Mr.. Gladstone,
but only few will be guilty Of the idolatry
which would regard him as Indispensable.

An Unpleasant Inference.

From the New York World.
1t Is clear that the bill proposed by Mr.
Catchmss to compel members to vote who
are present and refuse. by deducting a
certain sum from their pay. is based on
the principle that what a Representative
will not do for patriotism and duty ne will
do for i've dollars. This is not lofty
view of Congressman, but it is feared that
Mr.. Catchings understands his men,
