FOR THE
MUNICIPAL
BUILDING.

gunlentS advancedDy
the committee in support ofits recommends
ton are fully as strong and convincing as
any that have heretofore been made on
this sub iect, and will undoubtedly influ-
ence the board to use Its best efforts, in
connection with those of the Commissioners
and the people to secure the desired appro-
priation. 1t is understood, of course, that
the whole sum of 81 800, 900 is not to be
asked for at once; to start the work $780,
600 will be sufficient. One thing, no wever,
is certain; IL cannot be started too soon,
because the necessity for such a building
is woefully apparent. There is not a COM
munty anywhere in this country, or any
other, OF the Importance OF Washington
whose municipal offices are crowded away
in d comparatively small and architecture
ally unsightly building. Take any city OF
over a quarter of million of Inhabitants
and city hall will be found that is credit
able to the seIf-respect and dignity Of its
people.
When the old city hall in Judiciary Square
was constructed it sufficed for all the
something like 60 900 inhabitants, and is
local government was far less complex than
II is now. Tie ola ediiice was not out OF
keeping with the general aspect and char
acter of the city, and it was amply suffi-
Iient to accommodate the municipal Of
fices on one side and the Federal courts on
the other. Conditions, however, have
changed in the forty or fifty years that
have elapsed since the old city hall was
built. II is not necessary to rchearse these
changes, for they are before the eyes OF
native and stranger. For years the local
government has been a tramp, wandering
from pillar TO post, and, like the Arab in the
desert, pitching lis tent one DAY here and
the neXt there. All its valuable land and
other records are at the mercy OF the
flames, and its whole external appearance
is about as dilapidated as it well could be.
Congress should take sufficient pride in
the capital of the nation not to permit
this condition of things to exist Il day
longer than necessary. The people of the
District are willing TO spend money for
this purpose, and the general government
should be no less ready to do so, for about
one-half OF the new building would be
quired to accommodate the courts and the
different offices connected with them. In
this fact also lies the complete and irrefuta-
bic answer TO those checSe-parlng Congress
men from the backwoods who will raise
the objection, of course, that the people
of the country generally have no business
to be taxed for building a city hall for the
people of Washington.

''MCKinley's election will give an i'm

the investment of English capital in Ameri-
Can securities. Although for time there
was an undOubtcd disposition on the part OF
London to leave American stocks alone until
the election was over | do not think that
state of things was caused by any real fear
on the part of England that America would
really declare itself on the side of any
thing having the appearance OF reputation.
'Of course, inaslnuch the feeling of
this country was that the situation was
acute, its infection spread to England, and
/ would like to emphasize the fact that this
was the only cause of any depreciation of
American securities that took place ON

He declared that in bis journey across

revival in trade since McKinley's election

steady improvement in the commercial and
