they demand a sufficient time in which to

Public debate would make 1t impossible
for the Senate's action to be misrepre-
sented Fakifs would be poWeFless then TO
put this thing or that thing into senator ;
mouth, and insist upon It's accuracy be-
cause Of his inability to give to the public
the full and proper text Of what he had
said In executive session. Every senator.
with the doors open. would make a record
by vote or speech. or by both which would
defy falsehood or distortion on the part of
his enemies or anybody eise's enemies.
But whether the Senate's doors are
opened or not; whether the treaty Is rati-
fled or not. or amended and" ratified be-
comes unacceptable to Great Britain, the
people of the United States are In favor of
peace They are not q bullying or q con-
tentious people. War has never been their
game. In political existence of hundred
years they have resorted to arms but three
times. once among themselves. AS people
they have every time been victorious. They
won, even over themselves. But success in
the field has not made them prefer the feid
for the settlement of differences. They pre-
fer the agencies Of peace and debate, and
Great Britain and all the world need be in
no doubt about the matter.

The Proposition for Omen D-b.,.

TIE suggestion that the Senate consider
the arbitration treaty with open doors is
worthy of attention. Why not meet an
unusual occasion with an unusual proceed
Ing? The instrument is OF great import
ance, and its terms are well known The
whole world is interested in the result, and
open debate would keep the world accu-
rately advised as TO every step leading I'D
TO whatever that result may prove to be-
Open doors are desirable on another ac-
count The absurd story that the Senate Is
divided into Cleveland and an anti-Cleye-
land camp on the subject has gone abroad
and become part of the English impression
about the situation here. There Is no reIia-
Die Information warranting any such asser-
ton. While there are senators who do not
regard either Mr.. Cleveland or Mr.. Oiney
as a match for Lord Salisbury In the game
OF diplomacy, some of these senators favor
n general arbitration treaty with Great
Britain. and do not at all regret that Mr.
Cleveland has submitted for ratification ne
gotiations looking to that end. The treaty
Is not prejudiced in their eyes In the slight
est because 1t comes from him. They
would ask for full examination and discus
sion of 1t in any circumstances. They con-

Regrets and tinns.

The retirement OF District Attorney Bir-
ney from the position that he has filled
with marked ability and success for four
years is cause of genuine regret on the
Part of this law-respectins and law-abid-
ing community. He has done his duty in
a fearless manner, assailing intrepidly
every form of lawle ssness and sparing no
offender. however powerful. against whom
he possessed reasonable proof. His sole
motive seems to have been desire TO Sc
cure the moral betterment of the District
and in this effort he has unauestioHably
succeeded in a large measure.
The Presidents selection of Mr.. Davis
as Mr.. Blrney's successor is worthy of
commehdation as in all respects satisfac-
tory. The people of the District know Nr.
Davis boy and man. and they are proud
of him Washingtonian. He possesses
many personal qualifications that fit him
for the office to which he has just been ap-
pointed and his great legal ability added
to his energy contribute to his all-around
capacity for effective work as prose-
cutor. All that the community can ask
is that he will transfer unreservedly and
enthusiastically to the side of the prose-
cution on behalf of the people all the
knowledge and trained experience which
he has acquired as a faithful criminal law
yer in the defence of his clients
1t is inumated that the confirmation of
Mr. Davis will be opposed by silver demo-
Gratis on partisan grounds. If anything but
fitness to fill the office is TO be considered
in the matter. it will be as natural for the
republicans in the Senate to defend as for
the silver democrats to assaii the appoint
ment of gold democrat. And if by any
mischance Mr.. Davis should suffer official
martyrdom at this time solely on account
of his sound money views and indirect sup
port of Mr.. Mex inley's candidacy, he would
come very clos. to the possession of the
requirements of the typical gold democrat,
whom President Mckinley will find 1t both
his pleasure and his policy to honor.

Invite Mr.. Bryan.

A paragraph in The Stars correspon-
dence from Alexandria yesterday stated
that William j. Bryan would visit that
town the latter part of this month. There
were no particulars, either as to the object
of the visit or the probable length of the
stay. But the bare announcement OF the
fact has attracted attention in Washing
ton, md there are some suggestions grow
ing out of it.
The latter part of February is pretty
clC Sc to the 4th OF March. and Alexandria
Is but a suburb of Washington. Why not
invite Mr.. and Mrs. Bryan to tine inaugu-
ration festivities? The belief is that they
would accept the invitation. and that their
presence at the Capitol at the swearing-in
OF the rev President, and at the ball at
night. would add to the interest in both oc-
casiops.
II has not always been the case that the
defeated candidate for the Presidency could
pay this compliment to his successful op-
poI ent- 1t is compliment as well to the
corrtry. But the two Instances of record
of later days when this was done are often
referred to. and In terms that show how
appreciatively the people recognize the
spirit which thoroughly acquiesces for the
time in the popular verdict. Mr.. Douglass
at the fist inauguration of Mr. Lincoln,
holding his great rivals hat while the lat
ter Was delivering his address and Gen.
Hancock in full uniform, at the ina alguraI
ball on Hdrch 1. 1881, are striking and
gracious figures in the accounts of those
two functions. They shared. as doubtless
If- Lincoln aad Gen. Garfield both We're
happy that they should. in the honors of
the occasions. Their presence filled out the
ieliciiies completely, showing that in this
country 1len may lose as we'll as win great
stakes gracefully.
Whatever the situation may be four
year, hence. the situation today Is
clear eICrsh. Mr.. Mckinley will take Office
as the President of all the people and is
therefore entitled TO the general good will.
Many men who opposed his election last
year. and will oppose his reelection if he
leads fis party again in 1900 will be prom
hent in the ceremonies which will inducy
MIN into office next month. They abate
none Of their democracy or partisan zeal.
out Simply reserve them for partisan &C.
casters. The Inauguration of President
IS a patriotic occasion Why shouid no,
Mr.. Bryan, IL it is convenient, lead his
hosts IN the one case as in the other? What
better appearance as an American citizen
could he make than as an interested spec-
tator at the Inauguration of mis- worthy
and successful rival?

ground-hog is its most enterprising expo
nent, for his ambitious lead him to leap
into the future in a great stride that car
ries him far ahead of the conservatives of
the science school. who seldom venture be-
yond the range of two-day forecasts. The
latter are. however, growing holder, and
word comes from India that the govern
ment meteorologists are now undertaking
to predict the general features of the
weather six months In advance, thus far
SURPRISING the ground hogs six weeks of
prescience. The theory in India is that the
summer monsoon that blows moisture over
the intensely heated land and produces
the heavy rains that mark the wet sea-
son is related to If not the direct result
of the presence of great masses of snow
on the Himalaya slopes. This theory has
been confirmed, it Is alleged, by long OBJ
servation, and now 1t is announced that the
weather officials will undertake to fore
cast approximately the duration OF the
summer monsoon. a factor of the very
greatest Importance In the agricultural
economy of the land. For instance last
summer the monsoon ceased suddenly
ahead of schedule time. The failure of the
rains was followed by the failure of the
crops, causing the famine that is even now
devastating India. 1t Is recorded that the
snowfall on the Himalayas last winter was
unusually light and this fact and the later
failure of rain are now connected as cause
and effect. the more strongly as the same
phenomenon has occurred before. Hence
preparations have been made to secure ac-
curate records Of the mountain snowfails,
and 1t is anticipated that future famiaes
resulting from short rainy seasons may be
foreseen by six months and may perhaps
be provided against. Alongside of such an
achievement the paltry prophecy Of Arc
tomys Monax pales into insigniieance.

Wit is not very keen. and that as he was
not the principal in the theft he knew
but very little about the goods found in
his possession.
