dences. While there has been a strong
tendency for some years toward the north
western suburban area there has been a
prCportionate movement in other directions
and thus there has been no choking of the
spaces, such as often occurs in less fortu-
nately situated cities. The stoppage of the
car lines, therefore, has not imposed such
burdens upon the people would be laid
upon those of Boston and New York, par
ticularly the latter city, where the residen-
tia) area is separated in the main from the
business district by many miles, which, in
the absence Of means of transportation
cannot possibly be covered in order to go
to and from the work of the day. In only d
comparatively few cases have people been
absolutely prevented from approaching
their tasks by the street blockade. Those
who were kept at home Monday were de-
tanned rather by the raging of the elements
than by the difficulties of travel though
the latter were extraordinarily severe. With
the river equipment completed and modern
lied, with the streets tremendously and
properly extended into the suburbs, with
the car lines all given rapid transit equip
ment, Washington will suffer a minimum
from even the worst of storms, both during
their prevalence and after their subsistence.

Some Startling Parallels.

The anti-expansonists in the presenta-
lion of their case. have entertained the
country with some truly startling likenesses
and parallels. Aguinaldo has been Iikened
20 Washington and represented as being in
very way quite as worthy a man as ever
the American was. And now comes Mr.
Bryan and, in defense Of the present atti-
-ude of the Filipino. asks this question:
What would our colonists have thought
Of a demand upon the part of England that
We first lay down our arms and surrender
% the king and then trust to the decision
that he would make?'
Mr.. Bryan seems to have forgotten his
history. The experience the colonists had
had with King George before revolving was
radically different from that the Filipinos
had had with the Americans before taking
70 the jungle with arms in their hands The
colonists assumed nothing. They did not
act upon mere fear or suspicion. They had
felt the kings rough hand for years. They
had petitioned. like good subjects, time and
again for redress of grievances, but to no
purpose. Oppression grew heavier all the
line Revolution was the only means left
Consequently, after that terrible agency
Rad been invoked. any proposition to the
colonists TO lay down their arms and rely
upon receiving justice from the king
through complete submission on their part
would very properly have been rejected
Ii would have been a fraud upon its face.
In the case of the Filiplnos We see people
raising their hands against their best
triends-in fact, their only friends. The
Americans had never shown other than the
hest intentions toward the people of the
philippines. They had destroyed the Span
iSh power. against which the Filipinos had
truitlessly struggled for years and they
were now at hand to restore and to pre-
serve order in the interests of all There
was no right whatever for anybody to as
sumo that the Americans now that they
Were masters Of the situation, would pro-
coed at once to make themselves also the
masters OF the people; would simply step

BuIIyragging President LOubet.

The savage attack upon President Loubet
by some of the Paris newspapers is much
to be regretted. The onslaught began as
soon as he had taken office. being inspired
mainly by anti-Dreyfus influences. The
new executive is criticised for his conserya-
tism, for his connection with the Panama
scandals, for his personal manners, for his
home surroundings, for his lack of associa-
ton with the choicest of French society,
for his small private means, for the pro-
vincial accents of his wife and his mother.
1t is believed that this fusillade was opened
for the purpose of frightening the new pres
ident into a more favorable attitude toward
the anti-revisionist program of the present
ministry. 1t is reported that already NJ.
Loubet has yielded somewhat from his
hitherto strictly impartial public position in
the celebrated case by agreeing to the con-
dition imposed by Premier Dupuy when
asked to continue in Office, namely, that the
ministry should be permitted to proceed
with the bill to compel the revision of the
Dreyfus case by the combined sections of
the court of cessation By thus identifying
the new head of the republic with a move
which has palpably been aimed against the
Dreyfusards the premier, 1t is pointed out,
secures a powerful weapon against n dis
turbance of the sentence of the captain
of revision and impressed with the inno-
cence of Dreyfus. The fact that the as
saults upon him, which are similar TO those
which welcomed Casimir-Perier to the
Elysee. are confined to the most radical of
the anti-revisionist journals. bears out the
suggestion that in The popular mind at least
the new president is counted among the
Dreyfusards. The rioting in Paris has APP
parentiy been of slight moment. There is
no excitement whatever in the provinces

Let Us Have the Gable.
From the New York Tribune

The proposition made by Senator Frye for
facilitating the laying of a Pacific cable is
worthy of careful consideration. 1t is to the
effect that a cable shall be laid from our
Pacific coast to Hawaii, Guam, the Philip
pines, China and Japan; to be finished to
HAWAII by July l, 1900, and to Manila by
January 1, 1901; all government messages
are to be forever carried free, in case of
war the government is to take possession
of the line, and in certain contingencies is
to become its owner; for all of which the
government is to pay the sum of 81 900 600
in twenty yearly installments II better
bargain can be made let it be made: hut
in some way let us have the cable.

Hardly Possible.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

If now the House should refuse the an
preparation We should be in the same posi-
ton we so justly condemned on the part of
Spain. No matter what the House thinks
about the terms of the treaty, it cannot
refuse to provide for it's execution without
humbling this nation in the sight of the
world. We could multiply instances to
show how this is regarded according to the
principles of international law, but it is
unnecessary. The House can refuse the
money, just as it can refuse money for
government expense. but it is hardly posi-
bic that it will do so.
