An InNestigntiOm PrOpOSeh.

Senator Vests resolution for an tnyesti-
CATION into the construction of the post
Office building. offered today. will if passed,
open the door to thorough view of the
enure record connected with this struc-
ture. 1t appears that Mr. Vest has closely
watched the course of the erection and is
dissatisfied with the results, not only as
regards the expenditure of time and money
but also as to the present condition of the
building. The resolution is broad enough
in It's terms to accomplish that which The
Star has believed for sOma time should be
undertaken, namely, a thorough and i'm
partial scrutiny of the governments meth
Od of constructing the public buildings.
The resolution names the Joint committee
on public buildings and grounds thereby
creating practically a select committee by
the union of the two standing committees
of the House and Senate. Such body
would have large power and great weight.
If. as Senator Vest contemplates, this
building should be found to reflect seriously
upon the processes in vogue in the super
yisng architects office, 1t will be in order
to consider ways and means of reforming
those processes to the general betterment
of the system. 1t is highly desirable that
some practical benefit may flow from such
an investigation. 1t would not be salts
factory if the only result should be to as
certain how far this structure has fallen
short of the standard, how extravagant
have been the processes of it's creation, how
wasteful of both time and money. or how
inadequate it now is as regards the uses
TO which it is to be put. If however, from
such a finding facts of real value for the
future guidance of Congress may be ad
duced the inquiry will have been well worth
the time and effort spent upon it. The
deficiencies of the system fragrant
enough in the demonstration afforded by
this particular building to warrant such
sweeping inquiry and it is well that the
proposition has been advanced thus early
in the session.

The Man and the Hour.

The anti-expansionfsts have lacked u
leader. There has been a good deal of
shouting, but it has not been in chorus. 1t
has been ragged and somewhat inCoherent.
There has been a painful lack of order
among the brethren. No one voice has
sounded clear and true above all the others.
This difficulty need not longer exist. If the
opponents Of the administration in this
matter IF new possessions have the cour-
age 0f their attitude they viii range them
selves behind the one man who will give
1t the frankest possible expression.
Reference. of course, is to Mr.. Cleveland
Fresh from a duck hunt on the south At

bag and other things, the ex-President un-
boSoms himself the absorbing topic of

to the Philippines. He would undo it all.
And how: He does not specify, but is it
necessary that he should? May his pro-
gram not be mapped out from his past per-
furm1uyrs?

connected with the election of President in

candidate for President then from the per.
