poor SHOW FOR PUBLIC BUILDINGS
ER0rts WIN Ne Concentrated On an
Appropriation for Taeena.

Washington. Feb. A-Washmgton's rep
resentatives have almost. though not
quite. abandoned hope Of getting an APP
preparation for q public building at Ia
coma this session. One public building
bill for their state was all they asked for.
although four are greatly needed-one at
Seattle one at Spokane. one at Tacoma
and one at Walla walla. During con-
ference held early In the last session, Il
was thoroughly realised by all of WASH
ington's Representatives that II they went
before the house asking for more than
one public building for the state. and
divided their forces to that extent, the
result would be that they would get moth
ing. In view Of the fact. therefore, that
Seattle was to have an appropriation for
the government canal. and also an army
post. and that Spokane was to have an
army post. and walla walla was to re-
tain her cavalry post. concerning which
there had been some talk Of abandon
ment. and had already been given an ap-
preparation for a federal penitentiary. Il
was decided that Tacoma. which had re-
celved absolutely nothing. should have
first chance at the public building crib.
Representative Hyde. who Ii one Of the
prominent members Of the committee on
public buildings and grounds. has car
rted out his part OF this contract, and
the Tacoma building bill was one of the
first reported at this session, and has a
good place on the calendar. Should Il
be possible to pass any public building
bill at this session. Tacoma IL certain TO
be one Of the first. The bill has already
PASSED the Aanata and thsN houao pa,,Npt
which was drawn up from facts furnish
ed by Representative Doolittle. Is al
strong as could well be made In SO brief
a space.
1t will not be well for Tacomans to
build any great amount OF hopes upon
getting this measure through, for Speak
er Reed has positively announced that
he Is opposed to all such expenditures
while the books OF the treasury show q
constant deficlt In receipts as compared
with expenditures. Under the present
rule OF the house. no measure OF I'm.
portance except appropriation bills car
be considered without a special day /.
set aside therefor by the committee or
rules. Speaker Reed. being chairman Of
that committee. Is practically a one mar
power which controls all legislation. Nc
amount OF pressure which may b.
brought to bear by the members OF con.
gress can get him to permit the consid
Grafton Of a measure II he Is opposed tC
1t. This was plainly shown when he re-
fused the request Of 3O7 members Of tht
house for the consideration of those pub.
lie building bills which had already beer
placed upon the calendar.

all she is willing to grant, and Cuba may ask
more than she would absolutely Insist upon.
That is the way Of bargan-makers, whether
In diplomacy or In trading horses Between
the two extremes of what will you give"
and what will you take" an equitable mean
should be found, on which the two bargniners

Indeed, II was not reasonably to be supposed

Spain has not advanced as far in republican
ism as Great Britain has, and Is not to be eX-
pected to grant as large n measure OF popular
sovereignty to either her colonies or her home
realm, Nor has Cuba attained such fitness
for self-government as Canada has. II may
well be asked however, whether the offered
scheme is not in proportion to the political
development OF the countries concerned, about
equal to that granted to the Dominion.
The possibility Of making any such bargain
