Responsibility for the failure of Congress
TO erect new Government Printing Office
building was yesterday accepted by those
Senators who decided to postpone. for no
one knows how long. ali probability of af-
hrmative and apprOpriative action. 1t can
not be denied that to many people the con-
clLsiJn reached by the Senate yesterday
was very surprising. Everyone interested
in the proposition 10 replace the dangerous
structure now being used with a safe and
suitable building knew that influences most
powerful had been brought to bear upon
both branches of the national legislature in
behalf Of the tract Of land known as the
NJ hone site. Everyone knew that those
Influences had wrought delay in times past.
But 10 one outside Of the inner senatorial
circle believed that the Senate would de-
hbeTat-ly upset negotiations which had al
most reached successful hnality simply be-
cause the conclusions threatened to smash
financial scheme in which ex-senator
William Malone was to be the principal
beneficiary. Yet that is just what the
Senate did-nOt all Of the Senate II is true,
but very large proportion of its member

There may be a reasonable difference OF
opinion among our legislators concerning
the location of Washington's proposed free
library. 1t may be inexpedient to permit
the capital to use for library purposes
GOO square feet of the $4,000 square feet
of its city post office building, only one of
whose eight floors is to be devoted to local
post Office purposes: and 1t may seem ex-
peGient to house the library in a less CEN
trail and convenient position in the new
building of the library OF Congress This is
rot a vital issue. Nor is the question of
placing in the proposed library duplicates
from the Congressional Library.
II Congress prefers to retain these dupIi-
Gates where they benefit no human being
and are worse than worthless because they
curnber the shelves and interfere with the
use Of the general collection. or IL Congress
prefers to barter the books In liquidation oS
war claims or any other indebtedness which
the government may have contracted. the
District has nothing to say. In respect IN
these questions Congress. after considera-
ton Of the arguments on the respective
sides. will decide as IL pleases without de-
seryelly SUI Jecting Itself to severe reproach

The Bull Was Scared.

An amusing incident is said to have
occurred recently when one of the Ar
mours, the great beef and pork packers
of Chicago, was travelling in Spain. He
was taken by grandee of Madrid to see
the national sport. When the bull came
in, he sank ON his knees and refused to
move. Then the director called the
toreador and inquired the cause of the
trouble, to which the toreador replied,
"Ah! senior, re bull ave seen re great
Armour of Chicago sitting with your ex-
cellency, and zere is no fight left in him. "

screamed out: "Dear me, madam, what

dreaming about? You have the ace in
your hand, and you suffer the adver-
sary's king to pass" A glance at the
lady soon showed that any explanation
of her misconduct was impossible. She

plexy, which put an end to both her and
