The present movement TO add TO the ZOO
logical collection in this city specimens of
the fauna of the various island territories
which have recently come under American
auspices is quite in keeping with the orig
inal purpose regarding the first group of
animals that formed the nucleus for this
garden of beasts. That purpose was to pre-
serve, as far as possible, the specimens of
the native animals of this continent, partic-
ularly the buffalo. From very small be-
ginning a collection has grown which in
some RESPECTS is the equal of any other in
this country, and has every opportunity for
development into a truly national zoo. II
now specimens from Cuba, Porto Rico, Ha-
waii and the Philippines may be added. rep
resenting whatever there is in those islands
of characteristic animal life the education
al and scientific value Of the park will be
very greatly increased. Already the zoo is
an object lesson of Importance, affording to
students of nature comprehensive idea of
the wide range of the animal kingdom in
this country. There is, of course, an occa-
sionai departure from the strictly geo.
graphical limitations Of the first purpose, to
make the collection typical of North AmerI-
can fauna exclusively, but this enhances
the popular interest in the park, and con-
sequently TO its total value II now some
decided novelties may be brought here,

army and the navy stationed in the various

lammany Won't Stay Converted

One pf th~ difficulties attending any deal

TO remain bought He will take the other
sides money and enter into engagements
for the future. but at the first opportunity
will rcpudiate the whole transaction and
renew the tight.
In like degree one Of the difficulties the

ccnfers with silver leaders. attends silver
Dinners and cheers silver speeches. At
these times the silver men feel very much
encouraged about Tammany. They give
their hand 70 Mr.. Croker. and wish him
Gy1-speed in all Of his undertakings But.
Invariably. they are chilled by subsequent
conduct of his. and are left in doubt as to
what his next move may be.
For example. Only year agO-that is to
say. oH April II last-there was a jefferson
dinner eaten in this town. in circumstances
more in celebration of MIR. Bryan than Of
Mr. Jefferson It was national affair, and
Mr. Bryan was the guest of honor. Among
the other leaders of the democracy present
were Senator Jones Of Arkansas. Senator
Daniel. Mr.. Bailey. Judge DeArmond and
Richard Croker. The Tammany chief ran
over for the occasion and was accompanied
by number OF his lieutenants. Mr. Bryan
was hailed by all the speakers as IN. can
didate for 1gp and the Chicago platform
was heartily indorsed. All such sentiments
were loudly cheered, and when Nr. Bryan
Arose To respond to them he was greeted
with uprnarinus applause. Mr.. Croker and
his Tammany braves joining in and with
every appearance of sincerity.
But II proved 10 be all sham on the part
OF TammaHy. When the autumn elections
came on in New York MIR. Croker would
not permit single mention made If ,.iiver

The Volunteers in the Philipuines

ament. 1t was obliged under all the cir
CGmstances, to take possession of the Phil

upon the volunteers. Congress DELAYED so

results of the war that an emergency arose
in the Philippines before it became possible

II is 10 be regretted that the address
fssued by a number OF prominent Virginia
politicians TO the democratic voters of that
state urging a conference or the subject of
q change in the mode OF electIng United
States senators should show in the follow
ing citation the blemish of a too sweeping
assertion:
The senatorial elections and contests of
the past and nessins year in Ohio New
York. Pennsylvania, Delaware. West Vir-
ginia, Wisconsin. Nebraska. Utah, Nevada
California Maryland, and Montana present
close series or hideous scandals such as
shock the moral sense Of the country while
at the same time furnishing new and indis-
patab!e testimony against the wisdom of q
plan capable Of such desecration and
abuse"

jected by committee of the Senate after
examination. In New York Mr.. Depew was
distinctly the choice of his party and was
elected without contest. In both West
Virginia and Wisconsin the republican will
was clearly and speedily enough declared.
In Nebraska. while the contest was pro-
tracted. the choice finally made was with
out scandal or reproach. MIR. Stewart won
50 easily in Nevada that no reason exists
TO doubt his leadership in that state and
the latest choice made in Maryland stands
approved as one Of the very best ever made
there.
These facts should be borne in mind, not
only because question of justice is in
voived. but because in the cases of Penn
sylvania, Delaware, Utah and California
alone abundant Justification is to be found
for the change proposed in the election of
senator's. Ii Is not necessary to exaggerate
the record in order to direct attention to
the evil that exists.
The democrats of Virginia should respond
to this call. and take steps to further in
some practical way the end In view. They
have never themselves suffered from a
scandal in the election of senator, but it
is wise and timely thing for their leaders
thus to point out the embarrassments of
others and urge the adoption of a measure
or protection. What under modern condi-
tions is operating seriously to the detri-
ment of other states may in time come to
operate to the detriment of Virginia The
stitch in time saves nine. And until the
Constitution is amended as proposed, allow
ing direct vote of the people to be taken,
the people of the Old Dominion would do
well to indicate their choice for senator by
one or other of the methods now employed
at primaries in states where progress in
TINS matter has already been made
