An Undeniable Necessity.

Arguments are unnecessary to demon
strate to the people of the District that
they need and are entitled to new munich
pal building: hence the report of the COM
mittee of the Board of Trade on public
buildings. reproduced in last evenings is
sue of The Star. is designed especially to at
tract the attention and arouse the interest
of the members of those congressional
committees having directly in charge the
affairs of the national capital. The COM
mittee has learned by experience that one
of the most potent factors causing a fail
ure of the efforts of the past to secure an
appropriate municipal office building here
has been the inability of certain men,
bers of Congress TO obtain appropria-
tions for Federal buildings in their
own localities for several years. Of
course there is no justice or equity in
making the District share their ill-luck.
for the project for a municipal build
ing here does not fall in the same cate
CORY their endeavors to induce Con-
gress to grant public building appropria-
tions for the states. inasmuch as the latter
are for Federal purposes only while the
desired municipal building here is designed
mainly to meet pressing local needs, and
one-half of he expense of such structure
statistics presented by the committee are
overwhelming in their demonstration of the
neglect which the District has suffered
The stated cost of federal buildings used
for court purposes in ten of the larger
cities OF the country shows how the capi-
tai has been Disseminated against in this
matter Five of these ten cities, New York
Philadelphia. Baltimore. San Francisco and
Pittsburg, were enumerated by the census
OF 1880 as being larger than Washington
while five others. Detroit, Milwaukee,
Louisville. Omaha and Kansas City, were
shown to have smaller populations. In fact
Kansas City, which enjoys a Federal build
ing costing Sl.2Do.1O, was by this census
recorded only a little more tran half as
large as Washington. Another difficulty in
the way of securing action on this import
ant matter is the fact that In prosecuting
the effort work must be done with three
committees of each house. the committees
on the District, on public buildings and
grounds and on appropriations. With this
division Of responsibility the task of press
ing a bill to Its passage is unusually hard.
for the labor is practically trebled. But
the Federal courts are miserably housed
here that the government has more direct
interest in Immediate action than il would
have If the project contemplated only a
municipal building. Now that there is a
practical agreement to place the new struc-
ture on Judiciary square and to include ac-
commodations for the courts occupying the
antiquated and dilapidated city hall, Con-
greSs may be induced 10 grant the desired
legislation without wasting further time
and thus adding to the ultimate cost

The southern states which voted for Mr.
Bryan for President are responding it Is to
be regretted. to his call for a continued
agitation of the silver question. Mr. Pugh
loses in Alabama, but will be succeeded by
General Pettus. a silver nan of equal
aggressiveneSs. Governor Oates who stood
in the race for mild form of sousd mon
ey. got only fourth as many votes as
General Pettus. General Gordon retires in
Georgia. but will be succeeded by Mr. Clay.
who stands in the front rank of the free
coinage contingent.
Other cases. to be decided later will be
decided in the same way. Mr. Vest Is
thought to have the call in Missouri. The
only other man suggested is Governor
Stone, who vies with Mr.. Vest in eloquent
pledges to silver's interests. Mr.. Jones is
coming back from Arkansas, with a sup
port all the more enthusiastic because of
his labors in the Bryan. campaign. Mr.
Call may be beaten in Florida but if So it
will be by some man VINO like himself is a
free coinage advocate and as member of
the Senate could be relied upon to support
silver legislation. The fight in Texas will
not come up for two years, but preliminary
maneuvering is all on slver's lines Mr.
Bailey is preparing to tackle MIR. Mills, and
And MIR. Mills Is again safely within the
silver lines.
This record is regrettabIe because in the
end the south must lose by it. No section
can, without loss. put itself in opposition
and continue in opposition to business in
terests and business principles. Those In
terests have been ascertained and those
principles declared. and the national policy
Is to be adjusted accordingly. These south
ern states. therefore, will appear in the
light of protesters against the national
policy, WI ose success-and success in the
end is certain to crown that policy-will be
a reflection on them. They will, 1t is true
benefit by that policy. because all sections
will benefit by 1t. but not in degree that
they would Its supporters. Local i'm
provements cannot go forward as rapidly
as they would out of the shadow of free
silver sentiment.
Missouri, Alabama and Texas are all rich
in natural resources. All should invite
investments. With investments all would
speedily develop into hives of industry. But
all are in antagonism now not only to the
progressive spirit of the majority of the
people of this country, but to that of the
people of other leading countries They
are therefore raising up barriers rather
than opening gates in welcome.
