His Work for Washington
From the Buffalo Commercial


The last address made by the late Senator
Morrill, in the United States Senate only
a lew days ago, was in advocacy of his
bill, which was at once passed, for the puIt
chase of a site near the Congressional Lii
brary, on which to erect a great nationa
Temple of Justice, to be the permanent
home of the United States Supreme Court
Congress should now carry forward the
work as a tribute to the memory of its old
est member.
The fact is recalled that much of Senator
Morrills later work had for its object tht
improvement and adornment of the nationa
capital. He was especially interested in the
erection of stately public buildings. He ad
vocated liberal appropriations for the Ma
uonal Museum and suitable home for tha
institution He was also an earnest frienG
of the Congressional Library, and TO him
more than any other one man, is due thu
erection of the new and magnificent struc
ture in which the library is now perma
nently eSta blished.
The Washington Star warmly urges thu
passage of the Morrill, bill by the House fol
the Supreme Court building. 1t says tha
such building, standing opposite the Ii
brary, would be a memorial truly expires
sive of this long. valuable life. The oppor
tunity is exceptional to symbolic the ma
tons appreciation OF a career withou
blame or flaw in a monument which shat
typify the man and the principles for which
he so steadfastly stood.
There is no question to the need of tht
proposed building. 1t can easily be made g
monument to its founder, and a memoria
also of the centennial of the city of Wash.
ington, which will be observed in 1900.

4 Model Inaugural,

Governor Roosevelt gives his administra-
tion fine start by making an inaugural
address which stands as a classic of polit-
ical literature. 1t is very brief, but its
merit lies not alone in it's brevity Its key
mote is good government by which the
governor means something quite different
from that included in some current def
ritions. In fact. Mr.. Roosevelt keeps a
very even keel while steering between the
rocks of machine politics and those of i'm
practicable reform. He does not pledge
himself to obey the behests of the party
rulers. to affiliate himself with the
theorists. He calls for support on a plat
form of common-sense government such
as appeals to the vast majority of the citi-
Zens- 1t is refreshing to hear the execu-
tive of the great state of New York de-
clarng thus. upon the threshold of his ad-
ministration:
There is much less need of genius or of
any special brilliancy in the administra lion
of our government than there is need of
such homely virtues and qualities as COM
mon sense, honesty and courage. There are
very many difficult problems to face, some
of which are as old as government itself
while cthers have sprung into being in con-
Sequence of the growing compleXity and
steadily increasing tension of our social life
for the last two generations. 1t is not
given to any man or to any set of men
to see with absolutely clear vision into the
future. All that can be done is to face
the facts we find them, to meet each diff
ficulty in practical fashion and to strive
steadily for the betterment both of our
civic and our social conditions.
Under no form of government is it so
necessary thus to combine efficiency and
NOR ality, high principle and rough common
sense, justice and the sturdiest physical and
moral courage, as in a republic. 1t is abso-
lutely impossible for a republic long to en-
dure if it becomes either corrupt or coward
ly if its public men, no less than it's pri-
vate men, lose the Indispensable virtue of
honesty; if it's leaders of thought become
visionary doctrinaires. or if it shows lack
of courage in dealing with the many grave
problems which ii must surely face, both
at home and abroad as il strives to work
out the destiny meet for a mighty nation. "
On the subject of party obligations Gov
ernOr Roosevelt speaks with certain tone.
He says that parties are necessary in this
system of government, yet that the useful
ness of the party is strictly limited by its
usefulness to the state He serves his
party best who most helps to make it in
stantly responsive to every need of the
people and to the highest demands of that
spirit which tends to drive onward and
upward" These sentiments are not en-
bedded in mass of words. They stand
out clearly in an address which, though
short, is model of thoughtful statesman
ship.

For long time the citizens of Washing

the creation at the capital of a national
university typical Of the republic and its

This ideal has received many forward
impulses during the past year. and but few

Making presidential tickets for 1gGO is an

claims upon the party will be superior to
those OF any other members of it. He will

An AuspiciOus Omen.
From the Philadelphia Record.

The only cotton mill in the world owned
and operated by negroes has just been
started at Concord, N. c., and the result
of the experiment will be awaited with the
profoundest interest. Should it prove a
financial success it's moral value to the race
and to the country would infinitely surpass
it's pecunary gains, but in any case and
regardless of results, the movement itself
must be hailed as one of the most au-
spicous omens of the season. 1t indicates
that industry, thrift and ambition have
taken root among the colored race in the

Popular Elections the Remedy.
ron, Canstftutinn

Whenever there is a close margin or a
deadlock in a senatorial election the use OF
money on a very few men is sufficient to
decide the case. Now, if these members OF
the legislatures were acting in full view OF
their constituents, they would not be likely
to surrender to bribes or to create scandal
in any way. But they are gathered to-
gether at points which, though central, are
remote from the voters who elect them and
they feel freer to engage in underhanded
transactions The remedy for all this is to
make the system of choosing United States
senators democratic. They should be
chosen by the people.
