A POPULAR REELECTION.

The reelection last night of President
Fucker by the Northeast Citizens Asso-
citation is a rebuke 10 those who oppose
the aggressive fight he is making against
the Embarrassing abuse and complete
vindication of his administration of the
affairs of the association during the past
year. Northeast Washington can never
reach it's full limit Of prosperity until either
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad ceases to
use its tracks in that part of the city as a
switch yard or the deadly grade crossing
is abolished. The danger attending the
travel to and from the main part of the
city restricts its growth to a certain ex-
tent, and instead of lcssening its efforts
to obtain relief the association should
labor still more vigorously to be freed
from the iron coils that are strangling the
progress of that part of Washington.
The history of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad in Washington shows that its es-
innate of human life is small compared to
its desire TO cconomize. For years, until
recently, its grade crossings have practi-
eally been without watchmen. The efforts
of the Northeast Citizens Association,
backed up by The Times has to an extent
compelled the company to remedy the evil,
but it cannot be eradicatcd except by abol
ishng the crossings. When that is done
the value of property in that section of the
city will Immediately double and it viii
become as popular for residence purposes
as that which joins it on the other side
OF the railroad tracks.

MoRMONs AND POLITICS.

In so far as the Mormon religion is a
spiritual theory or philosophy no one will
find fault with it, whether it came to Joseph
Smith by special revelation or whether it
was founded upon a fancy sketch written
by an eccentric Ohio man for his own
amusement That is matter for each
mans reason.
One feature OF the religion, or OF the
practice of Mormon devotees, which will
not be tolerated is polygamy. No matter
what arguments may be drawn from the
Biblical history of ancient Hebrews who
are written down as especial favorites
of the Deity; no matter how pertinent the
sneer os the Mormons that their open polyg-
amy is not as injurious to society as the
secret immortality wide spread among their
enemies; formal recognition and open and
difiant practice of polygamy will not be
permitted in America.
The present outbreak in their own ranks
against leadership which seems deter
mined TO make the Mormon church die
tator in Utah politics is a healthy sign.
The threatened revolt which may post
pOne the entrance of Utah to Tie condition
of Statehood is but reflection of the SEN
timent of the great mass of the peopc nf
the whole world that the influence Of re-
ligious denominations shall not be used
for partisan nor for church advantage.
Leaving polygamy out OF the question,
the action of the Mormon leaders in de-
nouncing Democratic nominees for Rep
resentative and Senator in the United
States Congress should result In the defeat
of the scheme Of the church to control Utah
politics, even if Statehood should be de-
featcd.

STATESMEN CONFER.

Special cable dispatches give the i'm
portant information that Senator Henry
Cabot Lodge is in Madrid, and that he has
had conferences with Canovas Del Castillo
in regard to the Cuban situation.
Whether Senator Lodge, who is some
what exclusive person, is competent to
speak for the people Of the United States
cannot be stated; but il he knows what to
say. then it is certain that he has told
senor Canovas Del Castillo that the free
people of all American republics are as one
man in favor of Cuban independence.
Nothing is more sure to happen than that
when Congress meets joint resolution of
House and Senate W i'll be promptly adopted
giving the Administration backbone, that
it to recognize the belligerent rights OF the
struggling Cubans. II Mr.. Lodge, who is
just slightly afflicted with snobbery when
he lands himself among foreign big wigs,
has given Senor Castillo any other view of
American sentiment, he will find HIM
self speedily in contempt at the Spanish
court.
Patriotic feeling is growing both in Cuba
and in all the Americas. The battling reb-
els are constantly receiving important ac-
cessions of strength. Expressions OF sym
pathy in the United States grows louder
and more eloquent every day. Mass-meet-
ings, which will soon be held in Washing
ton and many other cities, will vastly en-
phasize all that has already been said.
Senior Canovas Del Castillo need not listen
to Senator Lodge, or any other man, TO
learn the feeling in America.

THE PLACE FOR CONVENTIONS

Washington's fame is already national
as spot where more conventions are
held annually than in any other city of
the world, and new Illustration of this
fact is found in the presence to-day of not
less than five conventions, made up of
delegates from as many organizations.
or course, there Is a wide diversity of
purpose between the National Gospel
Mission Workers, the National Spiritualists'
Association of the United States and
Canada, the Liquor Dealers Association,
and the Sons and Daughters of Moses, but
this diversity merely emphasizes the truth
that the National Capital s the logical
place for congresses of all denomiDa tions,
organizations, creeds, culors, and ambi-
tions.
The great Epscopalian organization,
after warm contest at Minneapolis, could
select no other city than Washington for
its next trienniaI meeting of bishops and
deputies; and SO it goes. 1t is reasonable,
inevitable and sentimental that it should
be so, and that the on-cuming conventions
should yearly grow more numerous.

THE BREsI.AU CONG REss,

One of the most complimentary things
that can be said about the recent Congress
of German Socialists at Breslau, is that
the anarchists have nothing but condemna-
tion for it. The agrariaDs did not get a
great deal of comfort, and as for the
anarchists they got the cold shoulder. AS
a consequence howl has gone up from
these worthies the burden of which is that
the socialists have not the courage Of
their convictions, or that they are simply
temporizing, or other equally inane ac-
cusations.
The programme OF the German Socialist
Democratic party may fall far short Of
perfection, but the IA ct that it does not suit
either the government party nor yet the
other extreme, the anarchists, would seem
to indicate that it aims at substantial
political reforms in the interest Of greater
freedom for the masses. 1t appears to be
aggressive enough to work for the dimi-
mutton of the power and prerogative of
the crown, and yet sufficiently conservative
to discountenance and repudiate the wild
schemes and destructive tendencies ef the
anarchists.
The demands OF the German Socialist party
include the extension of the franchise, the
enlargement of property rights, the bet
ter protection and advancement OF the
working classes and the amelioration of
conditions surrounding them, and many
other equal laulable reforms. Like every
reform party that has to contend against
official pressure and oppression, 1t may
at times go a step too far, but excuses
Of this sort are excusable and readily dis
appear when responsibility for admins
trative action is placed upon it. Taken
altogether the people of Germany have .
good deal to hope for from the Social
ist-Democrats.

NAVAL PRIZE FIGHTING,

That is most extraordinary story, and
One almost beyond belief, which is pub
lished in The Times this evening, descrip-
tive of prize fight between two marines
upon the flagship New York, now lying in
Hampton Roads.
Until an official Investigation be ordered
the public will hope there is mistake
somewhere, as 1t is almost inconeeivable
that Officers in command of the New York
and Texas, two vessels of the United States
Navy, would place their positions and
regulations in jeopardy for the sake of
witnessing bit Of brutal amusement.
II the accounts be correct. one of the
contestants was almost killed, and this

Capt. Armes' Confinement.

Judge Bfadley's opinion in the Armes
habeas corpus case did not surprise any
Army or Navy officer familiar with the cir.
cumstances Of Capt. Armes' arrest. Mill
tary law should not, in time Of peace, extend
to confinement OF the person, except in cases
where there is reason to believe that the
accused may desert or use violence to other
people. Whether he is on the active or re-
tired list makes no difference.

quirenents of the situation txonld have been

fact win add weight to the heinous char
acter Of the offense. Apparently, the offi-
GERS of all the naval vessels in Hampton
Roads were patrons of the fight, and
granted leave to witness it TO as many
of their crews as possible.
Unless the story be promptly denied a
sensational official investigation must
seem to be In near prospect.

The aggregate circulation of The Times
last week was 22S, 1913, OF %, ,339 more

Times over last weeks statement was
4,622, while that of the Star was only
2,15S. These figures are facts iii which

EDITORIAL NOTES.

England must either back down or
fight. This is the situation in which
she 6uds herself placed as the result of
her aggressioOs iu Venezuela and oostl-
nate refusal to submit the matter to
arbitration, as suggested by the United
Sta,es. England has bullied the world
so long and with such eminent success
and profit that she has come to believe
that she can run rough shoa over any
single rival. In this case, however,
she has been called to halt by Presi-
dent Cleveland 10 so decided and
peremptory manner that there is no
choice bat to fight or submit to the
terms dictated by the United States. Fog

with the institutions of this country
that when the chief Executive calls
upon the people to rally in its defence
thew will respond to man. Were 1t
necessary an army of million and a
half men could be placed 10 the field.
The reception given The message in all
pa.ts Of the country shows how thor
oughly united on this point are all the
people. Cleveland struck a popular
chord and be has millions of political
opponents commenting him, who never
oid so before. He touched the chord Of
nasriosism and the latent sentiment Of
the people famed Up at once as if by
magic. It would require but single
act of hostility on the par: of England
to turn the Uoited States into a military
camp and every man able to bear arms
would be soldier. The sea coast
cities might be bombarded, battered
into heap Of ruins OF captured, but
the people could not be conquered, and
there would be DO peace until the last
vestige Of English authority had been
wipea out. Canada would be annexed
and The stars aud stripes would float
over the continent from the polar circle
to the Gulf Of Mexico. Cleveland has
pitched his message 10 the right tone,
and ne will be sustained by the Amer

Gao spirit. We have DO fear that any
considerable of our citizenship will

arrogance than tc maintain the dignity
