TO Change inauguration Day.
From the Chicago Times Herald

1hs amendment to the Constitution pro-
toSeu NY senator -Hoar changing the date
i"r the commencement OF the presidential
ana senatorial terms from March to April
~ has been the subject of dIscEssinn for
many years. There is no doubt that the
Grange ought to be universally favored
Inc particular reason, of course, for adyo-
catlnS the chanSe is the inclemency. of fine
carry March weather in Washington which
has spoiled so many Inauguration ceremo-
MES In the Latitude of VI asiington it is
rare thing to have weather that is favor
able Tor outdoor festivities on March 4. To
the younger generation, which do not take
the uoubie TO look into history, the seiee-
ton OF clustering day in March instead
OF balmy day III May or June for inaug-
urauon has always been subject OF won
Ger. 1t came about in this way. After the
present Constitution was adopted the seId
Congress fixed the first Wednesday of jan
uary as the day for the, states to elect
presidential electors, the first Wednesday
IN February as the day for the .meetiRgsof
the electors to elect the President and Vice
President, and the first Wednesday in
March for the Inauguration Of the new
government. 1t happened that the first
Wednesday in March fell on the 4th, and
hence this order. not the Constitution has
fixed the 4th of March as the commence
ment of the presidential term The Con-
stitut1on is silent as to the date OF inaug-
uration. 1t merely declares that Presi-
cent shall be elected every four years. 1t
happened however. on account of the poor
facilities for travel in those days, that the
senator's and representatives were not able
to organize Congress promptly on the date
fixed by the old Congress, and General
Washington was not inaugurated until
April 30. 1883. There are those who believe
that General Washington could have served
four years from the date of his Inaugural
ton, thus bringing all subsequent naug-
uraticns upon more propitious day. 1t is
the date of Washington's inauguratio ton that
has suggested the change embodied in
Senator Hoar's resolution, and it's adoption
would tend to recall every four years the
interesting historical associations sur
re unding the Inauguration of our first
President.

inauguration Day Weather.

The wretched weather of today affords
one more argument in favor of a post
p0nement of inauguration day to a spring
date affording more chances for a pleas
ant occasion. The inauguration of Pres
ident on such day this would involve
much suffering and perhaps personal dam
ger. 1t is very nearly such day as
that when General Harrison was indicted
into his high office, in 1889. IL is not quite
bad as the second Cleveland inaugural,
in 1893. but il serves to keep up the aver
age OF misery on March 4 from year to
year. The records in,'isputably show that
this particular season Is treacherous, one
bright day occurring 10 mislead people into
reckless indulgence in the manners of
spring Immediately followed by chilly,
disagTeeabie day, with rain perhaps
snow often with high winds and highly
charged with the potentiality of pneumo-
MIA and other serious ailments. The pres
ent week is a sample of carly March
weather. Monday and Tuesday were fair
and almost balmy. Wednesday was one
of the worst days Of the entire winter sea-
son. with snow, rain, chilly winds and
other Accomplishments of an intolerably
wretched occasion. Thursday was bright
and fair. and now today the elements of
discomfort and sickness are abroad. No
reliance can be placed upon the probable
tiles at this time of year. Six weeks later
the season Is well settled and the chances
for good weather are greatly increased.
The date uniformly set upon as the best
and most appropriate time for the inau-
guration ceremonies is April 30. made his
toric by the fact that the first President
took the oath Of Office that day. Sena-
o. tor Hoar recently introduced constitu-
tional amendment providing for the change
of date, which has called forth a practi-
caiiy unbroken chorus Of approval from all
parts of the country. There seems to be
no opposition TO this plan, which Is in line
with many others that have been presented
In past years, but tie large difficulties In
the way of changing or adding to the
Constitution have always operated to pre-
vent the Capitalization Of the favorable
sentiment into action. The time to accom-
plish the desired result Is In the interim
between inauguratiOns. and no better op-
portunity for pressing the project could be
found than the present.

Barbnric Censorship.


If the authorities at Havana were not
utterly incapable of changing their meth
DDS, and of learning that this is not the
sixteenth century or even the seventeenth
century, they would not continue to make
themselves at once obnoxious and ridicu-
lous by exercising their undoubted right to
establish censorship over news sent by
mail and telegraph from the island. For
three years now this antiquated system
has been in vigorous operation; 1t has put
foreign newspapers to lot of trouble and
no little expense: 1t has filled all the cor
respondents with anger and deprived them
of what little sympathy for agonizing Spain
they may have felt originally: but it has
not suppressed one single piece of informa-
ton. and has not softened one expression
OF criticism. In other words, this censor
ship has been much worse than useless to
anybody except q few petty Spanish off,
Gals who had to be bribed. and to a few
high-priced messengers, by whom the OBJ
jectionable dispatches were carried aboard
outgoing vessels. The censors have closed
one Of two of the most convenient chan
nels of communication. but they have had
no control over dozen others, and all the
news there was has come through with
only inconsequential delay. And still the
dismal farce is kept up day after day.
This is phenomenon as enlightening as 1t
is remarkable. It pictures Spain to the life.

suggested plan for direct municipal con-
troll of the telephone system. Thus It is to
be seen that there Is q drift of intelligent
opinion toward the extension of the mum
icipal power to include even this form Of
Public service. just as 1t has In some other
cities been extended to include the street
railways. gas and electric lighting, the
collection and disposal of refuse public
construction and power production. To
Offset this disposition Of far-sighted citi-
Gems to better their own and the corporate
condition thu holders Of franchises have
been steadily developing a willingness to
yield some Of the profits OF their enter
prises to the municipality, In the form of
lower rates, better service, larger taxes,
or perhaps all of these methods of placat-
ing the modern sentiment Of civic thrift.
The local telephone company has thus far
been progressing in the other direc-
ton, but 1t he's now encountered the most
stubborn opposition in its history, an oppo-
sition 80 wen organized and with such un-
answerable arguments that the time seems
ripe for readlus.ment of all ths relations
of the corporation, both to its patrons and
to the municipality upon which it thrives.

An Instructive Object Lesson

Among the items added to the District
appropriation bill by the Senats committee
vas one providing a sum for the rental of
quarters for the police headquarters and
the fire and police alarm offices. Those
Offices are now housed, with the general
assortment of bureaus making up the ad-
ninistratiye machinery of the District gov
eminent in rented structure that is no
toriousiy inadequate in size and equipIn MT
80 crowded, indeed, is the main building
that 1t now appears to be necessary to Dust
large and important part Of the local es-
Enlistment and once more sat it apart
as it was before, to the serious inconven-
fence of many official interests. This pro-
cess has been going on for several years
and VIII continue until Congress provides
Tor the belated municipal building OF which
there IS such grave need. the reasons for
the various postponements have never been
clsarly or satisfactorily set forth. The pao-
pie OIL the capital have been given gener-
ally 10 understand that the condition of
the treasury did not warrant the expend-
lture but never has this argument beer
used with such force as to convince any,
body that the enterprise could not be profit
ably undertaken, in view of the rental an
preparation to be saved and in view of
many less necessary and less economical
Undertakings authorized during the same
PERIOD. The dimcuities as 10 an appro-
PIRATE and sufficient site have nayer
amounted to mucn, surely not enough to
warrant the complete blocking of the pro-
Ject. Indeed, there would be no serious
embarrassment about site if Congress
were to attack the subject earnestly and
with determination to make short work Of
tins perennial demand. The way to accom-
push this RESULT Is to adopt the estimates
OF the District Commissioners for the COM
mencement OF the Duilding. after the pro-
Curement Of convenient site. There
should be no long-drawn-out inquiries, no
expcdi.nts for kiIIing time and tiding over
a few sessions. Tine need Is for works and
not promises. The municipal building of
the District Is today the cause Of much
LEGAL chasrin, whereas it should be an OBJ
ject of pride and an ornament to the CAP
ital Of the grsat republic.
