There will not be much regret that
the Supreme Court of the United States
has decided the Stanford case in favor
of the widow Of California's multi
millionaire. 1t is true that a decision
in favor of the government would have
formed a precedent from the vantage
ground of which a demand for indem-
nifty might have been made of Hunting
ton. But would that that demand have
actually teen made and enforced?
Probably not. Huntington is still very
mucn alive, and %entrenched behind
the enormous power of his millions.
The government never got up it's cour-
age to make the demand of Stanford
until he was safely dead and his i'll
gotten money had been dedicated to a
benefcent public use and had orly a
woman to defend it. The proceedings
against his estate had a disagreeable
color of cowardice.

No "MOunting in Hot Haste" Here.

The Star has from time TO time called at
tent!On 10 the methods of work on the city
post office building now slowly developing
into complete structure. 1t has sought to
point out the reasons why such work is
delayed. Indicating the faults attending the
government way of doing business of this
Kind and showing the lack of forethought
in the planning of the various branches OF
work The news columns recently contained
further evidence of this weary process of
procrastnation. Bids We're opened for the
interior finish. work that should be by
this date practically completed There is
no prospect now that the contract for the
job can be let and completed within a year,
unless miracles of energy hitherto unknown
in government construction are performed
In the ordinary commercial structure the
interior finishing is begun as soon as the
walls ard floors completed and usually
the final touches are given to the exterior
but a short time before the last work is
done within. Good business men spending
thousands in such enterprises know the
value of time. closely calculate the interest
on the investment. and then utilize every
moment to increase the rent-producing
period of the new structure. In the case of
the government in this matter there is a
heavy interest charge on the wrong side
for the delay in the completion of the build
ing cln easily he represented in the many
thousands OF dollars paid for rent for
the offices that may some day be housed in
the new building. But no such considera-
tonS seem 10 awaken the government
agents to quicker work. The appropriation
bill carrying the fund for continuing the
construction and increasing the limit of
cost became law June IL last, OF over
four months ago, and apparently all that
has been accomplished in that period has
been the leisurely preparation of specifica-
tions, the advertisement for proposals and
the opening of bids. Perhaps some time
next month the contract will he awarded,
and maybe by New Year day the work will
be started Then will begin in earnest the
race between Time and Truth. as the con-

The voters of the country must certainly

democratic national ticket. Was ever sucb

1t Is conceded that the appearance of Mr.

business standing, would actually cost the
ticket many votes And yet if the ticket

The practice of obstructing the city thor
oushfares with freight trains must be
stopped, and Judge Miller's action today
in the case OF the Il. and P. conductor
charged with this offense gives promise
that the railroads will coon find the cost
too heavy to persist in continuing it, The
regulations are full and explicit on this
point. Two minutes are the limit beyond
which steam trains must not stand on
crossings. and yet complaints are frequent
that this rule is violated every day on both
of the roads In the case settled today
twenty-eight minutes elapsed between the
stopping and starting of the train, which
effeCtually blocked important crossing.
The fine of Slo is hardly enough for such q
fragrant violation of the law, but ii this
amount should be taxed for every offe2se.
whatever might be the duration of the nui-
sance, perhaps the roads would issue per-
emptory orders to their conductors to give
some consideration to the rights of the rest
of the community 1t is asserted that the
Baltimore and Ohio road is a conspicuous
offender. and that Massachusetts avenue
Is often blockaded for many minutes 1 a
time. 1t is the privilege and the duty of
all citizens noting any of these cases of
street obstruction to follow them w BY
making complaint. furnishing the police
with the number OF the locomotive, ana
thus affording a means of identifying the
conductor, who is held by the courts to be
the primarily responsible agent. Other evil
dence should be gathered quickly. The
work of following up such a case may take
a little time but Judge Miller's action to-
day should encourage these volunteer
workers by assuring them that intelligent

die during his term, Mr.. Sewall would be-
come President and the leader of the DEM
ocratic party. Fancy a protecuon1st and
a corporation man leading party whose
cry is free trade and antitrust!
Mr.. Watson Is, Of course, always easily
located. He is not of the retiring DISPOSE
ton. But what does it signify where he
may be? What good is he doing the cause?
Or. the question may probably more appro-
priately take this form: How much harm
has he done it? The democrats never have
trusted MIN, and now a large number OF
the populists even suspect him. Although
regularly nominated for Vice President and
formally notified OF the fact. his acceptance
of the nomination is withheld from the
public by the chairman of the populist
rational committee because of the fear of
harm to Mr.. Bryan from it's publication.
Mr.. Watson is all but accused Of having a
knife up his sleeve and of harboring a de-
sire to use 1t.
Turning from this picture, what are the
lineaments of the other? The republican
ticket is composed of two men who are in
fullest sympathy on all public questions
and who entertain the highest respect for
each other. They have met and conferred
and agreed. They stand for precisely the
same things, and each for everything the
party stands for. In case that ticket should
Win and the head of it should die during
his term, the elevation of the second man
to first place would occasion no change Of
policy. nor even the fear of such a thing.
Mr.. Hobart. like his chief, is for protection,
reciprocity and sound money. He is like
wise a man of experience in affairs. He
has been prominent worker during the
whole campaign, spending good deal of
time at republican headquarters in New
York. He is now stumping his state. and
addressing large audiences. He Is assured
of carrying it by handsome majority.
There is no exaggeration in any line of
this statement Of the case. On the one
size may be found division. distrust. mex
Eerience. and i'll will. All is risk and con-
fusion. In the event of success a the polls
the worst might happen. On the other side
may be found union. mutual confidence
experience. and fraternal feeling. Each
man understands and trusts the other, and
the two would work together in office with
out jar or friction. Do the two tickets not
typify the condition of the parties they
respectively represent?

Exciting incideIts may be expected dur
ing these last few days of the campaign.
With election day SO near at hand, with
party feeling running high. anG with the
leaders straining every nerve to win the
tight. it is TO be anticipated that scandals.
surprises and tricks will be sprung in the
hope of turning the tide. These devices
may not originate with the managers; as a
rule they are the products of the brains of
untitled enthusiasts. Nevertheless the pso-
pie must be warned against such efforts to
stampede than. The issues of this great
struggle have been fully argued and ex-
planned, and the voters have presumably
drawn their conclusions. The stake is too
great for the people to be fooled by lies
into hysterical actions on e!eclion day.
