The inaugural Ball Room.

which moreover is not well arranged for
such purpose 1t is natural under all
the circumstances for those members of
Congress who have fostered the library
building project from session 70 session
with their votes and their influence to OBJ
ject now to turning 1t over to use that

In the case of the Pension Office no such
objection can be raised. 1t boasts of

within easy reach of the careless the

This is the new city Post Office. now slowly
approaching completion. 1t is in some re-

struction than the Pension Office then
was, the court being rooted: but it has no
windows and no means of heating at pres

to permit the official occupation of the
building would supply these deficiencies.
If. however. the work of preparation should
proceed al the present rate of progress the
structure would perhaps be put in good

honor of President McKinley's successor.

A Little Stronger by Waiting.

In Wednesdays debate on the Dingley
bill the republican Senators were told that
they woul@ be very little stronger In the
next Congress than now. Why wait to
take up the tariff question because of their
lack of clear majority In the present Sem
ate? Why not tackle it now and make
such concessions to the opposition as
sooner later would be exacted of them?
1t is true that even If the republicans
triumph in the senatorial contests in both
North Carolina and Kentucky they will
have but forty-four votes in the Senate
two less than a majority. and one less than
enough. together with Vice President Ho-
bart's vote, to pass a tariff bill through
republican votes alone The situation will
be very difficult one. A situation Of
like nature caused the democracy no end
of trouble with the Wilson BILL At the
same time it must be admitted that the
republicans will be in better form for action
in the next Senate than they are now
In the first place a regularly constructed
tariff bin will carry greater party authority
with it than does the Dingley bill. The
Ding1ey bill at best is but a stop-gap-
intended only for that. 1t cut no figure in
the recent campaign. That campaign
pledged the party to a new tariff bill which
should revise the Wilson bill as a whole
So that an entirely new tariff bill. con-
structed on lines mapped out last night by
the ways and means committee of the
House. will be the redemption of the party's
specific campaign promise on that subject
and as such will be entitled to every re-
publican vote in the Senate.
In the second place, public sentiment will
count for something at that time and in
support or such a measure. The St Louis
platform carried a whole Even the
sound Eoney democrats who were unwiIl-
ing to vote directly for Mr. Mckinley real

would mean tariff revision on protection
lines, with an increase of the revenue in

Tine Conxentien Ca.x.

This is Temperance week. tn the Dis
tr-ct. The American Anti-Safoen League
has held rousing convention and its ad-
journment was followed closely by the
gathering of the Non-Partisan Woman's
Christian Temperance Union in national
conference. the House of Representatives
celebrated the occasion by passing a
bill prohibiting the sale Of liquor at
the Capitol by an overwhelming vote.
and came within hairs breadth Of adj
ding to this record by passing bill, urged
by temperance advocates, amending the
law that regulates the liquor traffic in the
District. These achievements are notable
illustrations OF the value to the friends of
any cause who lock to Congress for results
of being on the immediate scene of action.
No stronger argument in behalf of Wash
ington as the ideal convention city could be
presented. Most of the great national
organizations depend more or less upon
Congress for the accomplishment of GER
tain of the objects for which they are
formed When their meetings are held in
some other city than Washington much
of the influence of the gatherings upon
Congress is lost in the process of news con-
densation by the telegraph. In this city,
on the other hand. the record of proceed
ings is given the widest publicity, through
the medium of The Star and its local con-
temporaries, and the character of the dele
gates. the real scope of their efforts. the
merits of their enterprise are all made
plain to the men whose attention is to be
arrested. These advantages are augmented
by many natural and artificial attractions.
