Prosperity Returning Through the Dam
ocratlc Tariff.

Among the other facts Enthusiastically
showing the revival Of business is an
increase in u export trade, New
York merchants within the past few
| DAYS have been commenting uspon this,
and the reason they assign FOR it isa
remarkable illustration OF the solidar-
itv Of the commercial nations Of the
world
Il has pleased a certain school OF
American politicians for many years
past 10 represent international com
merce as analogous to war. They
have held out the idea that when one
nation gains anything from trade an
other necessarily loses They have
treated imports as a calamity, and eS-
ports alone as worthy OF consideration,
They have quite ignored the fact that
international commerce is mainly an
exchange 81 commodities, and that Il
nation does not buy il cannot sell o.
e~asionally exceptions 10 this rule may
be noted. but it is in~,ontestably true
in the long run, There is no nation
that 4 90 on for years exporting
commodities without importing others
IL paw for them, for the simple reason
that other nations cannot 60 on pay
ing for their imports in money, for in
a few years they would have no money
left, As 3 rule, imports mus, ne paid
for by exports Hence when imports
increase exports must increase in q
similar ratio
The protection PAPERS have been
making 4 great cutlery about the in
crease q our imports for the past fiscal
year, comparing them with the panic
period that extended from July !, 1928.
10 June 50, 1894. Our imports then
were small because our ability 10 pur-
chase was limited, Much has been
said about the large increase of imports
Of woolens during the fiscal year just
closed. In the first ten months OF the
fiscal year ended on the Both ult. Il
imports OF woolens were of the value
Of nearly thirty millions of dollars,
which was in excess of those for the
corresponding months in the preceding
fiscal year. Hence the howls to which
we have referred. But if we GO back
another year we find the imports of
woolens for the corresponding period
amounted to thirty-three millions and
q halt. In other words, we are not yet
importing SO many woolens as we were
before the panic under the Mckinley
bill. which tends TO show that the re-
turn Of prosperity is not complete, as
we know well enough from other
sources.
We have alluded incidentally to the
reasons assigned by New York mer-
chants for the improvement Of the

The Architects Office.

From the U. S. Government Advertiser.
The new supervising architect has come
at last. but there is yet, of course, no sign
or promise Of new methods. Architect
Aiken. who is reputed to be man Of abil-
charge of his office on the 1st proximo.
He will find confronting him numerous mat
tiers demanding fair and sensible Judgment
The new architect takes his place at the
head of an office which can boast of a
larger accumulation of evils than any
branch of the general government with
which the contractor has anything to do.
We recall in no other office Of the Wash
ington departments so many fragrant eva
sions of law and such frequent exhibitions
of contempt for the bidder.
Some of the Objectionable features OF the
office have continued without hindrance
since Architect ORourkes dismissal, and
the fact that nothing was done to improve
the service-save the reorganization of the
office on lines which do not correct the real
abuses-has been the main and proper
cause for criticism of the administration
within the past few months. 1t was to be
expected that those who had to do with
the Office would appreciate the opportuni-
ties for improving the service and take
prompt means of removing all Instructions
to an impartial dispatch Of public business.
We confess to a keen disappointment at
this inactivity and disinterestednesso on the
part of the officials who have been conduct
ing the affairs Of the architects office. for
we were led to expect that their known
fairness and experience would suggest the
ways and means of, as well as the neces-
sity for, reform.

Judge Cole, In his remarks concerning
the need Of comprehensive and modern
code Of laws for the District, Disseminated
between a crude code, which would be
dangerous and injurious, and a code, suit
ably prepared with reference to existing
District conditions, which would be benef-
cial in the highest degree or course. 1t
would not do to uproot all existing law,
whether legislature-made or court-made, to
which local interests have in the course of
many years adjusted themselves, and sub
stitute therefor brand-new set Of stat
utes as adopted and used with good re-
suits in some state of the Union. What
the capital needs Is not the best body of
laws in the abstract. but the best that the
District can endure without radical,
revolutionary and disastrous unsettling of
all sorts Of legal rights, as they now exist.
The code to be satisfactory should be
framed by the District. for the District and
through those who are thoroughly Informed
as to the present condition of District law.
The judges of the local courts ought to be
drafted for this work, and properly COM
pensated for it. as the labor would be leg
islative, ard not judicial. The judges might
well be assisted in the preparation of the
code by a few local lawyers of ability. If
the code were prepared by Washington
legal talent and Endorsed after thorough
consideration by the District judges, 1t
would stand an excellent chance of re-
ceiving the city's Endorsement of running
unframed the gauntlet of Congress. and of
comforting a vast benefit upon the District
of Columbia.

Carelessness in the preparation Of so radi-

Concerning Shnd.

Oh, minstrel of the wood in spring;
Sweet bird, with melody so glad,
Let others greet you; shall sing
OF the broad-chested, generous shad.
Yours Is the path Of diligence;
You find where that is to be had
Which gives refinement so intense
That you surpass your race, oh, shad.
There Is no rose without it's thorn,
And bones, as thorns, are most as bad;
But cen the kicker scorns to mourn
The barbs which guard your charms, oh,
shad.
Ambrosia on the mountain top
Was what the mytilic heroes had.
And hints which learned persons drop
Show that ambrosia was shad.
IT'S Fate's harsh rule that those deceased
Know not their epitaphs. 'Tis sad
That you, the hero of the feast
Your praises may not hear, oh, shad.

Consul Waller, who has been sentenced by
the French in Madagascar to twenty years
imprisonment, and that of Mrs. Renton,
whose husband was killed a year ago in
Honduras. The main difficulty in each of
these cases Is that Of ascertaining the ex-
act facts, for it is not to be supposed that
there would be any denial Of the claims of
this country for indemnity If it should be
proved that Waller, an American citizen,
was imprisoned for an inadequate offense
after an unfair trial, or that Renton's MUIR
derers could have been punished and his

The District police are showing a COM
mendable zeal in attempting to discourage
the desire of the maladorous fraternity who
infest Jackson City and the race track at
the south end Of Long Bridge to mingle in
the society Of the capital. and they were on

becomes an interesting question as to just
how long this process can be kept up; 1t
