President reversed Dewey's wise Amer
lean policy Of recognizing the Filipi-
nos and at the very start he refused to
listen to the pleas of the Filipino lead
ers for peace, again he refused to lis
ten or even to see or in any way to
recognize their ENJOYS sent to Wash
ington on the same errand of concilia-
ton and peace. Does this look as If the
President proposed to ask the consent
of the people of the Philippines, or
even give them the decent treatment
usually accorded an enemy in war?
There is no parallel whatever between
Cuba and the Philippines, for the ac-
ton of the President in the one case
condemns his action in the other. which
he, himself, year ago called criminal
aggression" but which he termed in
recent speech .the policy of the adj
ministration
The amusing effort of the arrant
Pecksniff of Fourteenth street to con-
fuse the two is eminently characteristic.

I'VE have thousands of old contract pro-
posals- These are the four-year mail car
rying contracts. After that number of
years has expired the old proposals are
useless. Why, last year alone we received
about 21S,000 proposals for star routes,
etc. About one out of every forty was
accepted, and the other thirty-nine
jec;ed ones have to ne kept until the period
named in the contract is passed When
the contract has expired they have no use
whatever and only the accepted proposals
representing the contracts are preserved as
a part OF the files of the building. As long
as the contract is in force all the proposals,
every one of the forty or fifty, on each
class or kind of work, has 20 be preserved,

or week. The fire VIII be started when
the first load is dumped on the commons,

until all have been reduced TO ashes. The
fires will probably burn for several weeks.
Among the millions of applications for
Office are thousands bearing the autograph

tors, Representatives, and men prominent

tury. Thousands of valuable autograph

( ever to be called for. But a laborious

sidered as confidential communications

THE SILVER KNIGHT DYING.
Senator Stewards Newspaper to Pass
Out of Existence.

The "Silver Knight" the weekly news
paper established by Senator w. w. Stew
art, will soon disappear from the list Of
weIl-known publications About two years
ago the "Silver Knight was consolidated
with the "Watchman," and the name was
changed to the "Watchman and Silver
knight"
At present the property is being reor-
ganized by several well-known local Demo-
Gratis under the name of the National Dem
ocratic Publishing Company. When the
reorganization is completed the ''Siiver
Knight" part of the name will be dropped.
One of the incorporators said last night
that the chief aim of those who are inter-
ested in the publication of the Watch
man" is to distribute Democratic litera-
ture throughout the country at all times,
but more especially during Presidential
campaigns. It's principles, he said, viii be
those Of the Democratic platform, but 1t
will not devote its influence TO furthering
the interests OF any one man or any one
principle OF the party. During the prog
ress of the campaigns, the speaker said,
not only viii Democratic literature be dis
tributed, but whenever a Republican gives
utterance 10 sentiments which viii make
good fighting material for the Democrats
OF the country these too, win be sent
broadcast over the country.
The new company Is said to have plenty
of financial backing. The company was
organized last January under the laws of
West Virginia with capital stock of $780,
coo. The incorporators are Blair Lee, G.
It. Bride, Arthur S. Brown, Charles A.
Douglass, and ]. NJ Divine. A meeting of
the stockholders has been called, at which
board Of directors viii be elected and by
laws adopted.

Hartford county, Maryland, is q beautiful
farming country. The Susquehanna cuts
through a gorge and from Conawingo
Wagon Bridge one might imagine himself
in beautiful, rocky wilderness.
1t is only on climbing to the summit of
the cliffs that one discovers that this is a
very rich and most prosperous farming
neighborhood. Evidence of the city archi-
tect and long purses are not wanting. At
Darlington there is a touch of Lenox and
Stockbridge in the houses and landscape.
One cannot but regret that the farming
country between Hayre de Grace and Wash
ington is not something like this. 1t would
give the hundreds of thousands of people
truer and more elevated opinion of beautiful
Maryland There is one point near La
Fayette Valley called Bald Hill, an obserya-
ton point in a grove on the banks of the
river. 1t is much frequented by visitors
10 this section and picnic parties from all
parts of the country. The view, looking
westward, up the river, is truly magnificent.
The river is very wide here and lined with
high wooded and rocky hills. The river
is full of islands and one grand shoal for
miles. The effect is unique. IL suggests
Lake Winnepesaukee, as it appears, map
like, flecked with islands and surrounded
by mountains as seen from the summit OF
Mount Belknap. The distant pale blue hills
are so faint and such an uncertain line, one
is not sure that it is not caused by tear
of joy drifting across the pupil Of his eye.
Such is the mystery and sweetness of these
expansive views which leave something to
the imagination and the soul.

Proceedings in equity were begun yester-
day by Dennis Fitzgerald against Maurice
OLeary, calling upon the Supreme Court
of the District to decide several interesting
points of law so far as they refer to the
government of the city The complainant
resides at Is G Street northwest, and owns
the premises 16 Street northwest. He
asks for an order to restrain the defendant
from setting up and maintaining saloon
at IA G Street. He alleges among other
things that the establishment of the saloon
referred to at the place mentioned is in
violation of the law prohibiting the main
tenance of a barroom within 400 feet of a
public school building.
Fitzgerald alleges that he has good rea-
son to believe that several OF those VINO
signed O,Learv's petition asking for the
establishment Of the saloon at the place
named have no legal right to DO SO.

1t begins to look as though very few
buildings will be erected by the District
Government this summer. Bids for fire
engine houses and schools have been all
most without exception higher than the
amounts appropriated by Congress. The
bids which were opened yesterday for the
construction of additions to the almshouse
and the Girls Reform School were even
higher than the high ones of few days
ago. Congress appropriated $4,000 for the
aImshouse addition, but the lowest bid for
that structure is $500 higher than the ap-
propriation. twenty-five thousand dollars
was allowed by Congress for the Girls,
Reform School addition, but the lowest
proposal for that building is $4i,6OO. All
hid; on the two proposed additions Will
probably be rejected. The bids were as

The speaker dwelt upon the Importance
of the work of practical charities and paid
high tribute to the efficiency of the Ro-

reached his climax when he advised young

defer marrying for five years and devote
those years 10 the work as deaeonesses OF
the Methodist Church. 1t is understood
