How 1t Was Done.

From the Thiladephia Press.
WASHINGTON, January 26.-By the aid
of Mr. Pettigrew of South Dakota, the
Democrats perpetrated a characteristic
trick in the Senate today under which the
Administration holds that its Hawaiian
policy has been approved.
Mr. Vest yesterday introduced a resolu-
ton which expresses the sympathy of this
country with all efforts to establish repub-
lican Institutions and reatilrms the policy
of absolute non-interference in the affairs
of foreign nations, and approves of the
course OF the Administration in maintain
ing that policy. 1t is this resolution that
was adopted by vote of n to -, Mr.. Pet
tigrew deserving his party and voting with
the Democrats, which gave them the nee
essary majority. Had he voted with the
republicans the vote would have been a
tie, and the resolution would have been
lost, because Mr.. Harris, who was in the
chair, voted in favor of it.
Mr.. Pettigrew has been noted for voting
against his party at different times before
but in the last two years he has taken par
ticular pains to keep within the party lines
as his reelection was pending. Now that
he has been returned for another term, he
at the first opportunity. deserts his party
and votes with the democrats. Some pend
ing appointments in South Dakota are said
to explain this course Mr.. FettiSrews
part.

all American history. The honor and title
and recompense attached to the rank of
Northumberland should be reserved for
those men whose remarkable abilities and
phenomenal services CntitIe them to extra
ordinary consideration. If the best we have
is given for conscientious performance of
routine duties what shall We have to offer
as an incentive to those who may be called
upon to greater exertion and more burden
some responsibilities than have fallen to the
lot of the major-general who now COM
rands the army? Tbs economical feature
of the argument is one upon which much
logic might be based; for in addition to
tremendous increase in pay consequent
upon the more exalted rank, there would
come the creation of staff of lieutenant
colonies with corresponding additions to the
payroll. Congress is. through necessity,
strongly inclined toward parsimony; it
daily declines to permit the disbursement
of money for which there is real and press
ing necessity; it is not likely to stultify
itself solely for the purpose of getting into
accord with Presidential recommendation.
Our army is not large enough to need
acknowledgement; 1t is trifie top-heavy
anyhow.

1t is decidedly pleasing to know that the
arrest of Anarchist Mowbray in Philadel-
phia has resulted in much more than 81
lence on the part of Mowbray; great as
that boon is. A dispatch from London says
that several of Mowbray's former asso-
ciates-closely watched by the police-were
preparing to migrate to this country when
they heard of Mowbray's capture and in

The claim Is often made that striking
workmen do none of the damage which Is
almost invariably consequent upon strike.
Sometimes this claim is well founded. for
4. occasionally happens that the rough ele-
Eent takes advantage of friction between
capital and labor to do many things that
could not be done in more pcaceful tunes
without detection. Testimony from Brook
lyn, however upsets the allegations OF IN
pCcence as TO the trolley strike. for there
strikers have been arrested while i'll the act
of cutting wires, while others have been
captured in the midst of all sorts of dis
turbance originating evidently with the
strikers themselves. 1t is unfortunate That
the differences of opinion between employer
and employee were not adjusted by arbi-
tration or some other form of mutual
agreement. and for the failure TO SO settle
matters the street railway companies are
Ut questionably responsible But now that
the strike Is on Ii Is impossible for good
citizens to sympathize with the thousands
of strikers who are hourly violating The
law with the fast-vanishing hope that IL
legal and inexcusable physical effort will
bring them the victory they desire. For
the trolley companies there is no popular
affection; they have disregarded all rights
save their own from the day they Set out
to secure their charters. Now, however
there is much more at stake than the
property of the companies or the imme-
date welfare of the strikers. The law is
being assailed in a most outrageous fash
ion; the peace of great community is
broken up. The first thing to be done is
to restore order. and that must be done
with all possible rapidity and at any cost

Senator Gallinger's resolution calling
upon the District Commissioners for GER
tain specific Information as to public
school facilities in the District will result
In directing attention in forcible manner
to conditions that are far from creditable to
the Congress that permits their continued
existence. The Senator's present interest
seems to have been aroused by a news
paper statement which had il that there
are more than eight thousand schoolless
children at the national capital. This an
nouncement Senator Gallnger regards as
one OF great Importance and "a very seri-
Gus reflection upon the Congress of the
United States" 1t is all of that and more.
The Senator says that he is inclined to
the belief that this matter has been en-
tirely exaggerated in the public press. and
will further suggest that it may be found
that the school facilities in this District are
perhaps almost, If not wholly, adequate for
the wants of the children" When the data
called for is in the Ser atcr's possession. he
Will see at a glance that the situation is
worse than he apparently supposed it was.
Without having anything like precise fig
tres upon which toSbase it's estimate. The
Star thinks that the figures which Senator
Gallinger regards too large are really
less than the unfortunate aggregate. The
Senator will also see. when his resolution
bears fruit that large and rapidly-in-
creasing number of children receive in
struction only during one-half of each
school day because Insufficient facilities
have compelled this arrangement; this
number must grow enc rmously unless adj
ditional buildings are provided. Senator
Galllnger says with confidence, In which
the people of the District would like to
share, IF IL shah appear that the school
facilities are inadequate I am sure that
Congress will hasten to make necessary
appropriations to provide additional school
accommodations" May Senator Gallinger
prove to be an unerring prophet!
