Washington as a Winter Home.

The announcement just made that Mr..
Cornelius Vanderbilt has decided to try
the experiment of making Washington his
winter home Is to be accepted as additional
evidence of the very general tendency that
has been noticed for some years past on
the part of men of wealth and comparative
leisure to establish themselves here amid
the attractions of the official life of the
capital. This tendency has added not only
to the gaieties of the social season, but as
an ultimate result TO the architectural at
fractions of the city, for few of those who
have spent an experimental winter here
have been able to withstand the tempta-
ton to build homes and to become part
of Washingtons winter population. Each
year adds to this gain in increasing ratio.

city's attractions spread the fame of the
capital as a charming place of residence,

No R.tt,p. for the Cadets.

The Senate has refused the necessary ap-
preparation to subsist the West Point Ca
diets ordered here By the President for par
ticlpation In the inaugural parade Sena-
tors used the argument that the trip would
take two days and would break up the
course of study at the Academy certainly
the taking of two days from the routine
work of the students every four years
would be a terrible thing and the cadets
who suffered the loss would evidently De
totally untitled for positions in the army
Some people are perverse enough TO think
that there would be compensations Tor the
lost time. They pretend to believe that the
cadets would get more military knowledge
by a practical illustration of the movement
of forty thousand men by Gen. Porter than
by a years company drill at West Point
They modestly hint that outside or tech
nical education, the young men, who Will In
the future form an integral part of the gov
ernnent for which they have sworn to
fight If necessary, would get more knowl-
edge more broadening influences, and more
patriotism instilled in them by attending
an Inauguration than by ten years sojourn
on the beautiful yet narrow Hudson. They
point out that the sight of thousands upon
thousands of American citizens travelling
from every section to do honor to the chief
magistrate of the nation. Is an education in
itself: that personal contact with great
statesmen and great soldiers. soon to pass
away, mas a broadening influence on young
minds; and that seeing ten thousand Amer
lean flags flying from ten thousand nag
poles and thousands more carried reyerent-
ly by forty thousand men in grand parade
up the chief street of the nations capital,
while a vast multitude OF spectators by
their cheers proclaim that they also carry
that flag in their hearts. would be good
sight an inspiring sight for young men who
have pledged themselves to fight and If
need be, die, to prevent dishonor from fall
ing on that field of stars and stripes. Nat
urally however, sensible senators of the
Gradgrind pattern pero eive how small these
advantages to the boys are when compared
with the loss of two days lectures and two
days Academy drills, and though the cadets
have been ordered here by the President,
they firmly refuse to feed them while In the

cadets will be here March 4th. and that
some means will be found to keep the wolf

front rank of nations. And, speaking with
a due sense of proportion. what has been
accomplished in America under the repub-
lican form of government can be and will
be accomplished also in Hawaii. The peo-
pie of those islands have everything TO
promise themselves from pushing on in the
road they now are travelling. and by keep
ing constantly in view the high ideals they
have set before themselves.
Another thing of value for Mrs. Dominis
Is the fact that the sympathy Of the peo-
pie of the United States is strongly with
the people of Hawaii. They are familiar
with the history of the islands. and espe-
cially with that portion Of it covering the
past twenty years. Nor have they been
educated on prejudice or misrepresenta-
ton. They have applauded the overthrow
of the monarchy by the people of Hawaii
and the erection in its stead of the people
own government, and they hope even for
closer relations with the Islands. Annexa-
ton is almost as much discussed here as
it ia in Hawaii, and if Mrs. Dominis car
ries out her purpose of Witnessing the in
auguration of Mr.. Mckinley she will see
the President under whose administration.
in all probability, she resident of Ha-
Waii will come to live permanently under
the stars and stripes.
So that whatever the future plans of Mrs.
Dominis may be-and she is entitled to
freedom from too close inquiry on that
point-her visit to the United States ought
to be of very great profit to her Retired
now to private life. and certain to remain
there, she will see here nothing to remind
her of her past estate, but much to Illus
trate by comparison its vanity and worth

The District Bill.

The District has not Jared as well as WaS
expected at the hands of the House ap
preparations committee. The local budget
as -eported today to the House carries an
aggregate of appropriations of only 1852,
1868, or 81 s52 a3o. .45 less than the sum
estimated by the Commissioners as neces-
sary to maintain the District during the
next fiscal year The amount recommended
by the appropriations committee is also less
than the total carried by the current bill
by sfli.96S.13- Naturally, under such con-
ditions, heavy cuts are made in almost all
departments of the measure. These cuts
run all along the line of the Commissioners
estimates. particularly with regard to pub
lie schools. The Commissioners recon-
mended the expenditure of 1851. 500 for new
buildings and sites, and the committee
grants but $4,000. This is $1,000 less
than the amount carried for the same pur-
pose by the current bill. One gratifying
concession. however, IL embodied in the
provision for a hospital for minor con-
tagioGs diseases, for which the sum of
s113.GtO is written in the bill. very recent
case of hardship and suffering resulting
from the lack of such facilities emphasizes
the need of this institution. A little colored
boy was Carted about yesterday from place
10 place suffering from diphtheria, and was
finally cared for temporarily in the waiting
room of one of the large hospitals. So as
far this urgent need is concerned the bill
as at present constituted is relief. But
there are disappointments caused by the
reductions here and there along lines OF
really necessary Improvement, and the hope
now Is that the House and Senate will add
TO the total of the bill In some of the en-
inenuy proper directions indicated by the
Commissioners estimates.
