At Present dvisahle.

Replying TO a request made by Mr.. ID,
Piferling and Others that a sidewalk be
laid along Benning road from the east side
Of 18th street to the west side Of 18th
street, the District Commissioners today
wrote that it is not deemed advisable TO DO
anything IN the matter at the present time.
They explain that, owing TO the work 10
be done by the Columbia Railway Company
in the vicinity, and the consequent minor
changes which viii be necessary in the
street to adopt it to new conditions, aud TO
the further fact that sidewalk conditions
are no worse now than they have been for
some time past, such work would be in its
very nature inadvisable and but temporary.
If, however, a majority of the property
owners are willing 10 pay one-half the cost
of a new walk, and will so express them
selves, the Commissioners say they will be
very glad to see that the walk is construct
ed at the earliest possible opportunity.

should Appeal to Congress

A communication was recently received
by the District Commissioners from the
Northeast Suburban Citizens Association
in which the association requested them to
recommend to Congress the extension of
New York avenue from its present terrni-
nus to the District line; also a modification
of the law governing the extension of water
association that, under existing conditions.
they find it impossible to originate action
looking toward the condemnation or the
opening of streets and avenues. The Com
missioners state that if it is desired by the
association to secure the opening of New
York avenue the most practical plan to be
pursued would be to appeal to Congress for
assistance in the matter.

From the New Haven Leader (repl.

AS a matter of fact peace has not yet
been declared. The treaty has not been
signed. Absolute certainty of a settlement
with Spain without further conflict does
| not exist. Presumably the treaty will be
adopted, but until it is, any utterance on
the part OF the President concerning the
government of the Philippines would he
manifestly out of place and entirely i'm
proper.

points not yet fully developed is prudcn..
yet sufficiently indicates the firm position
that he occupies. The message is thorough
iy American and yet entirely respectful and

graphic and interesting, and in a literary

of the war may be more elaborate and

From the Ohio State Journal (rep.).

The most important recommendations af-
fecting the national policy are the increase
of the army and navy, action on the Mica
raguan canal project, the adoption of a
maritime policy and currency legislation,
upon all of which the President speaks un-
reservedly and with emphasis, and in which
the n essage reflects the conservatism, firm
ness and sound judgment which have been
notable characteristics Of the chief eXecu-
tive during the recent crisis.

From the Louisville Post Cdem.).
The Presidents message is not sensa ton
al-thank God for that.
It is businesslike, broad in its treatment
of pressing public questions, expresses the
inclinations of the American people without
LAYING down any hard and fast rules for
future guidance.
The message means peace, internal and
external, for years to come, and peace
means prosperity.

1t is in order, therefore, for the people OF

ley's message with due respect, as an ad-
mirable chronicle of national victory, ana

sion, Of Congress now just opened for intel

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal tdem.)-
While President Mckinley is fortunate in
being the chief figure in great historical
events, his glory will be a posthumous
elcry As a message writer he is extremely
unfortunate, because he has nothing to say
excepting to record great events upon
which the nation is practically agreed. Had
the Hispano-American peace commission
closed its labors and submitted its report
there might have been a chance for con-
fict and for a demonstration of force on the
part of the chief executive, but as the great
work in hand is unfinished, no new work
can be cut out

From the Milwaukee Wisconsin Crep.).

The great fact which the message will
make clear to those who read Il in the
future is that in 1898 the United States,
Notwithstanding the burdens rendered nee
esSary by war, rejoiced in steadily increas-
ing prosperity, while the finances of the
government Were successfully administered
its credit having advanced to the first
rank, and its currency being maintained al

Erom the Detroit Journal frepO

President Mckinley did not take the pub
lie into his confidence on the future foreign
policy of the government. To have done
so would have been to invite the rejection
of the treaty of peace about to be signed
in Paris, not only by the Senate of this
government. but also by the cortes of
Spain. His policy has been so fairly indi-
Gated by the events of the recent past that
Americans as a rule are quite content to
let him prosecute it through the channels
cf diplomacy until the peace treaty can be
ratified Then 1t will be time to announce
a definitiye policy for the Philippines. To
announce that policy now would be con-
trary to tradition and embarrassing to
Spain as well as to our own government.
Evening star., 1898-12-08
From the Kansas City Star dndJ.

The significant feature of the Presidents
message to Congress is the favor with
which it regards the policy of EXPANSION.
This is revealed in the suggestion for an
enlargement of the regular army the con-
struction of the Nicaragua canal and the
reference which is made to the government
Of the islands taken from Spain in the re-
cent war. Mr.. Mckinley appears to be in
full sympathy with the sound American
idea that this country should give up moth
ing which comes to it fairly by the right of
conquest.
Evening star., 1898-12-08
From the Savannah News tiemJ.

There is. of course, some force in the rea-
son which the President gives for not dis
cussng the Philippines at this time and
the administrations policy in respect to
tfem. In his opinion these are subjects
which viii not he ready for discussion until
the treaty of peace is ratified. Still it is

The omission Of specific recommendations
