Judge Fields Retirement.

Judge Field seems now to have deter
mined upon retirement from the Supreme
Bench beyond question, thus verifying the
rrmored change that has been discussed
fer many months, affecting, according to
some authorities. the makeup of the Presi-
dents cabinet. 1t seems now probable that
far-reachinE charges may result from
Judge Fields REIMBURSEMENT of active
duties. but whatever may come about in
consequence of this step 1t is certain that
the retirement will be regarded as the
Climax Of remarkable career. Judge
Field has been so long a member of this
court that he has seemed like a perma-
nenCy. lie has row served longer than
any other justice who ever wore the robe
of the court His service has been distin-
guished il many ways, by participation in
trials of the first Importance to the nation,
in semi-political proceedings that have af-
fccted the stability of the mode of govern
ment. and in historical affairs growing out
of his strong personality and his bitter ex-
periences IN the frontier during the DAYS
when the gold seekers were creating a new
civilization along the Pacific Coast. The
romance of Judge Fields life makes a re-
Tarkable chapter. He will take with him
Tito retirement the respect of the nation
for his untiring, able efforts in behalf of
the maintenance Of the law Of the land.

A Hint to the Labor Unions.
From Gunton's Magazine for October.

From Guntons Magazine for October.
Unionists and labor leaders ought clearly
to recognize that they hold a distinct po-
sition in the existing capitalist and wages
system of industry, and that their function
is to see to it that in the general progress
Of industry the labor side does not lag be-
hind. Their concern is always with the
maintenance or increase of wage rates. the
shortening of working hours. Improvement
of the conditions under which they work
and live and of the quality Of the service
which they render. and elevation of the
standard of social life and culture of the
labortng class. The moment labor Or
ganization neglects these fields of endeavor
and becomes an organ of revolutionary
theories of social reconstruction, such as
socialism or the single tax, 1t ceases to be
legitimate trade union. It's influence for
good under the present order disappears
and 1T becomes propaganda of doctrines
which involve the destruction of the forces
through which labor now obtains its ad-
vancemant. Logically. it becomes opposed
to the very things for which it formerly
struggled. namely, better wages and work.
ing conditions and shorter hours because
to gain any of these benefits means to per-
petuate the industrial system under which
they are gained, and hence to delay the
social revolution.

A Brilliant EuternriHe.

Even Spaniards must admit that the act
Of the Representatives of the New York
Journal in effecting the escape of Miss
Cisneros from her Cuban prison was a
daring, brilliant enterprise. 1t has cleo
trified newspaper readers in all parts of
the world where the tidings of the affair
have been carried. 1t was an unusual
thing for a newspaper to do, a bold stroke
possibly involving serious international
complications. requiring skill and courage
on the part of the active agents and a
liberal use Of money. The Journal was for
tunate in assigning to this task the man
whom 1t commissioned to secure the re-
lease of the pris oner. Westinghouse are
especially interested in the affair because
of the fact that Miss Cisneros' rescuer is
a citizen of the capital. Mr.. Decker, or
Duvall, as he is known in print, has in his
work here shown that he possesses the
fearless spirit that the emergency in
Havana demanded. and the Journal is to
be congratulated upon his faithful and Sue
cessful execution of orders. Though there
may be divergences of opinion as to where
the line should be drawn between journal
ism and such exploits breaking down
of prison walls there cannot be withheld
from the Journal a hearty commentator
for its appraisement of American senti-
ment and it's daring defiance of traditions
in an effort to satisfy mat sentiment

gratifying to note that the spirit Of civil
service reform is in no wise Incompatible
with functions OF this bureau. Many things
are desirable in the way of remedies for
existing evils in the present system Of
planning government buildings. More bus
iness-like methods must be adopted. More
tasteful plans must be drawn. Less time
must be wasted in the progress of the work
of construction. Better work must be DONE
Less money must be spent to pacify politi-
cal bosses in certain localities. The field is
broad, and as the first necessary step to-
ward a better administration OF the affairs
of this important branch of the Treasury
Department the Secretary has wisely moved
to secure the best available talent for the
head of the office. The examination soon
to be concluded will doubtless serve the
purpose well, and Washington hopes that
when the successful candidate has been
named and has taken possession of the
office he will Immediately direct his atten-
ton to the problem of justfying the in
scription on the north wall of the new"
city post office building in this capital
The time for thus adjusting the truth and
the sculptured promise is short and the
situation will call for the exercise Of those
desirable qualifications that the examina-
ton should accurately develop.

This plan would not only afford a beautiful
driveway as an addition to the parking
features of the capital, and an approach
and outlet for the great reservations to
the north. but would guard against the de-
Element of the creek banks in the manner
that Is now so plainly and disagreeably in
evidence throughout the entire length Of
its course below the P street bridge. The
cost of such an improvement would be
comparatively slight, for it would involve
the taking of a relatively small amount of
lard. and would be attended by no unusual
ly difficult engineering feats. The inter-
ception of the sewage is now practically
assured through the completion of one of
the trunk conduits, and it is within easy
contemplation that in a few years Rock
creek will be unpolluted in its lower course
save by the refuse that may be thrown
into it by needless citizens Or by business
concerns that will not recognize the pub
lies rights in the premises. 1t is to pre-
vent these nuisaHces, as we'll as to pre-
serve the natural beauties of this pctur-
esque stream, that the boulevard project
has been advanced, and it is to be hoped
that it will be carefully considered by Con-
gress at an early date.

Mr.. Sherman's Justitiable Surprise.

Secretary Sherman's surprise at the at
titude of the British government. expressed
in the reply that has just been sent to
Lord Salisbury concerning Great Brltain's
withdrawal from the forthcoming sealing
conference. is amply justified by all the
facts in the case. This reply shows that
there has never been the least nisunder-
standing on the part of England as TO the
composition of the conference. that YER
bally and in writing the information was
conveyed directly to the foreign Office at
London that the United States had invited
JaEan and Russia to seats in the assembly
that was TO discuss the controversy and
seek an amicable. unanimous agreement as
to the best course to pursue to ensure the
proiOngation of seal life in Alaskan waters
The notices to this effect were given suf-
ficiently early to permit Great Britain, If
it had so desired. to indicate its disapproyaI
of this course in time to allow the United
States TO seek new adjustments either
with Japan and Russia or with Great Brit
ain alone But the British foreign office
remained silent. though fully understand
ing the project. and permitted the United
States TO complete Its arrangements with
the other nations in such manner as to
ensure to them the holding of the confer
enoe upon the basis originally planned.
Practically at the eleventh hour, when
silence for many weeks had given every
assurance of consent to the scope and per-
sonnet of the conference. Great Britain
interposed an objection to the participation
in the meeting of Japan and Russia, who
had formally accepted invitations and
whose representatives were on their way
TO the conference. To say nothing in be-
half OF Russia and Japan. the United
States assuredly has a grievance against
Great Britain for the manner of its pro-
cedure, even though Lord Salisbury Las
in no wise transgressed the strict limits
or his rights in the premises. In the words
OF the song once widely popular both in
London and this country, 1T amt exactly
wot c says; It's the nawsty wy e says

The Preservation of ROCK Cr.eL

II will soon be necessary for Congress to
consider, in behalf of the District, some
project for the Improvement of the lower
part of the Rock creek valley Some feat
ures of the case were discussed In the
news columns of yesterdays edition and
II was there shown that the use of the
once beautiful creek that divides Washing
ton from the old-time city of GEORGETOWN
as mere sewer has given 20 the stream
D most unsavory character. The great
project OF arching the creek and filling in
the space above with earth so that 1t may
be used for park OK buildings purposes in
wolves cost that has proved 50 far prac-
tically prohibitory. Much benefit will come
from completion of the system of sew
ers to carry into other channels than the
creek the sewage from the section Of the
city that the stream drains. The most
feasible plan TO be pushed at present would
seem 10 be to create a parking space in
the nature Of a boulevard from the south
ern borders of the Geological Park to the
river. terracing the banks Of the creek and
planting them with trees and shrubs where
the natural growths have been disturbed.

Mr.. Bryan and Bimeta1fsm.

A London cable quotes from an unnamed
American manufacturer who has written
over there In depreciation of the proposition
to Increase the holdings of silver in the
reserve fund of the Bank of England This
man thinks the proposition concession to
the cause of the Bryanites. and therefore
unwise. His name ought to be printed
Tie public is entitled to know all the
sources from which the English people de-
rive their information about American poll
tics and policies. That information is fire.
quently SO defective one wonders as to it's
origin.
1t has been stated on this side of the
water that the Bank of England's PROPOSE
ton grew out of the labors of the Wolcott
commission One can well believe that.
But there is no sort of connection between
the object the bimetalists have in view
and that the Bryanites have in view. The
Wolcott commission is engaged in work
promised by the republican party weeks
before Mr.. Bryan's propaganda was
launched. When the st. Louis platform
was adopted it was not known that the
democrats would put out so extreme bid
for support as they afterwards did at Chi
cago. nor that SO extreme a man as Mr..
Bryan would be chosen to stand on 1t. BIZ
fore, has no connection whatever with Mr..
Bryan's past race or his present conten-
ton. Mr.. Bryan fiouts the Wolcott COM
mission and all it has done or Is trying to
do. He Is opposed to any agreement with
foreign governments about the finances
He wants the United States government to
have financial policy of it's own. and as
he outlines that policy it would not be BIZ
metalism, but. inevitably, silver monometal-
ism. International bimetalism would be i'm
possible, under Mr.. Bryan's policy, for this
country.
Such a concession to silver as appears in
this Bank of England proposition has a
tendency to assist in defeating what Mr.
Bryan is striving for. The more active and
successful the friends of International BIZ
metalism are the less Mr.. Bryan and his
friends will like it. They want to estab-
lish a financial policy of their own. and
the cornerstone of that policy must be sill
yer. and not silver and gold. They have no
use for gold. Silver, they insist, is much
the stabler and more useful standard of
value
