treated by Governor OFerrall. Had the
men displayed the least disposition to work,
they would have received every considera-
ton, but as they simply loafed and begged
and stole and as to convict them of these
offenses would have been costly and time
consuming, the governor concluded that
eviction was the preferable remedy for a
condition that never would have existed
had there not been so much of political
cowardice when the Coxey craze was at
Its height Marylands governor was much
more considerable of the District of Column
bia' than Governor O'Ferrall was, for when
II was made pain to him that the Bladens-
burg Coxeyites were nuisances-idle vaga-
bonds-he caused the arrest of the entire
crowd encamped within his Jurisdiction, and
now has them, and will have them for
some time, at work on the improvement
OF the highways in the vicinity of the
Maryland House Of Correction. In the Dis
trict, the Maryland method has been ap-
piled In few individual cases, but the
general practice is much more liberal and
merciful. Batches of the commonwealers
have been shipped to the west their trans
portation expenses being paid for out of
District funds. 1t is feared by many that
this latter plan will encourage large num-
bers of worthless people who are in the
east to move westward as guests of the
local taxpayers. who ARE even now carry
Ing much more than their share of this
burden. Legally, the District would seem
TO be entitled to some redress from the
Virginia militia, for there is a local statute
which holds to accountability and threatens
to punish the person or persons who bring
into this territory other persons liable to
become public charge; IL II be an ofrense
to persuade Migrants hither, it is hardly
airy less Of misdemeanor to force them
within the boundaries of the national capt.
tai. But laying aside all such considera-
tons II Is not easy to decide which of the
three methods employed Is the best one
The Commissioners are doubtless satisfied
that they are doing the best possible thing
under the circumstances. and as they must
shoulder the responsibility for any possible
Ills that may follow their tender-hearted-
ness, the public is not likely at this time
to be too closely critical The Maryland
plan cannot be applied except to a limited
number of Coxeyites on account of lack Of
accommodations. II the Virginia plan Is
selected the communities adopting 1t should
force the Coxeyites back I'm the direction
from which they came, not push them for
ward on the path which they have chosen
to affict an unoffending neighbor. In &C
cordance with the same idea IL the District
plan OF furnishing transportation west
ward is adopted, the commonwealers would
logically and reasonably be shipped to Mas
silion and landed upon Coxey's farm.

The great relay wheel ride between this
city and Denver came to an end Saturday
evening, when the last rider gave the mes
sage from the Presidents private secretary
into the hands of the governor of Colorado.
The result of the race was something of a
surprise even TO the most sanguine Of its
promoters. inasmuch as the . 7VT miles were
covered IN six days, ten hours and thirty
seven minutes, or gain of more than
thirty-seven hours over the schedule time
1t every way IL was a remarkable feat and
well deserves the attention which has been
bestowed upon 1t by the military authori-
ties. who see in the bicycle possible aid OF
great value In time of an emergency. The
wheel can hardly be said to have made it's
successful appearance in actual warfare
as yet, so that consideration of its utility
from this point OF view is largely a matter
OF conjecture. What the race did demon
strate, however, was the fact that when
Young America puts its shoulder. or rather
Its feet. to the wheel. Something has to give
way, In this case the record for such n
distance. 1t inaugurates the great meet of
the League Of American Wheelmen under
most favorable auspices, and centers the
eyes of the public generally on the doings of
the sturdy athletes now out in Denver.

1t Is now easily possible that at this ses-
Sion OF Congress provision may be made
Tor the erection Of new Government
Printing Office building. For years there
has been evident necessity and urgent de-
mand for such a structure Thousands of
men and women have toiled day and night
within walls that never were of sufficient
strength and on floors that have protested
threateningly against the vast accunula-
lions of weishty material which have been
consequent upon the steady increase of
work The dangers resulting from con-
tinued occupation of the older portion of
the present building have been discussed
In and out of Congress for a long time
and reasonably founded predictions have
been made that unless remedial legislation
was speedily enacted there would some
day be catastrophe far more awful and
less excusable than that which a little
more than year ago Mortified the nation
and threw pail Of gloom over this city
AS a matter Of fact. the building which
has been 80 urgently needed should now
De complete. but unfortunately, the very
FIRST seriously made efforts to secure q
sufficient appropriation with which to pur-
chase site resulted in a free fight be-
tween propeBty-owners with alleged availa-
Bile sites to sell. Since then the struggle
mas Deen almost continuous, and so bitter
was the warfare that Congress itself be-
came infected and unreasonable The solu-
tion Of the problem now appears to be at
hand The House gave to the subject care
ful consideration; II decided that site
recommended by the Senate-principally be-
cause of Senatorial or ex-Senatorial cour-
tesy-is unfit; IL wisely decided that tres
pass upon a government reservation should
not be permitted; IL decided that whatever
of new construction is to be ought in the
opinion Of the House. to be Immediately
adjacent to the present building. The
Printing ONCE matter has now gone into
conference and ought soon to be definitely
settled. 1t is evident from the vote that
the House Will not agree to the Senate
proposition and the Senates duty IL there
fore to accept at once the proposition of the
House. Further delay in the building of a
new Office will be regarded by the general
public as objectionable. There is danger
to life and property every minute of every
day and night in the shaky old shell In
which at least two thousand government
employees are now doing the best they know
how to earn a livelihood. The Senate
should promptly coincide with the action
of the House and thus bring to close
a Congressional incident not overcreditable

Nirgfnia's executive may have done what
seemed to him and his advisers To he the
eminently proper thing when he used troops
OF the state to eject the Coxeyites from
Rosslyn, but his action was so completely
at variance with the method of treatment
latteriy put into practice by the District
commissioners as to provoke In many
minds a controversy as to which is the
right way; not the most expedient Way
but the way most likely to be justified by
iair-minded people who are conversant with
the Coxey movement and with the charac-
ter OF those who have Identified themselves
with it, With the general plan of the some
what Intricate Coxey problem manv
thoughtful citizens are acquainted but there
Is great diversity of opinion as to how the
annoying, If not dangerous, fungoid growth
may be removed without the exercise Of
undue severity and yet so effectually that
every root may be killed. The difficulty of
satisfying ones self as to the proper mode
OF treatment is complicated considerably
by the fact that the govvnor of MARYLAND
proceeded to do what he believed to be his
duty in a fashion differing entirely from
that adopted by either the Commissioners
or Governor OFerrall. Naturally. the Dis
trict taxpayers, upon whom Governor
OFerral has dumped the commonwealers
are averse to the application of the Virginia
idea because it, according to the policy Of
the Commissioners. compels the expendi-
ture of District money for which there are
many better uses-in fact, few uses could
be worse, but, personal considerations
aside, they see something to commend in
the plan which Virginia's governor has put
into operation. The ''corSrnonwealers." no
