District Day In the Senate.

The Senate devoted an unusual amount
OF time to miscellaneous District business
Saturday and In general the results of the
afternoons work are gratifying. The cal
endar was by no means cleared of the bills
demanded by the local interests, and all of
those bills that Were passed were not
wholly pleasing in all details to the best
Judgment of the people. yet the day was
we'll spent The chief item of the work
was the enactment of the two grade-cross-
Ing bills. which represent the partial cul-
mination of many years of effort. Those
bills must now be considered by the House.
In which they have not yet been intro
duced, and 1t is the local hope that they
VIII there receive such amendments as to
make them entirely satisfactory
For Instance. the Pennsylvania bill should
De so chahsec as TO require the railroad
company to construct one bridge of such
size and character as to accommodate all
the traffic across the river instead of
forcing the government to construct an
additional bridge for the general traffic
The reasons against two bridges at this
point have been well and, 1t would seem.
sufficiently stated by the chief of engineers.
whose recommendations should receive
more conclusive consideration by the House
committee than they were accorded by the
Senate.
The b. and O. bill. in order to meet the
approval of the people Of Washington,
should be amended at least in respect to the
provision that the railroad company shall
receive H.5OO.00O as a bonus for eliminating
the grade crossings. As The Star pointed
cut last Friday. this provision Is indefen-
s:b,s ON the ground Of either equity or

necessity. 1t is a preposterous proposal
which the District earnestly repudiates.
Doubtless the House can find way to
avoid the drain upon the local and federal
treasures which this section OF the bill
would entail without jeopardizng the prin-
ciple of Embarrassing elimination which is
primarily sought to be established.
OF the other bills passed Saturday moth
ing but praise is required. They meet
number of local needs and are carefully
framed to meet the equities. Necessary
street railway extensions are provided for
in a manner presumably to give the COM
panies all the facilities they care to acquire
at the present and the public all the facili-
ties they reasonably demand.
I he bills of first Importance are con-
spicuous by their absence from the list OF
Saturdays enactments. These are the street
railway consolidation bill, which was
shelved temporarily to permit unhampsred
work on the rest of the program. and the
telephone bill. which is yet to be reported
from committee. 1t is to be expected that
the consolidation bill. which Is demanded
by the public interests as well as those OF
the capitalists involved. will shortly be
given a chance at passage despite individ-
ual objections while the public demand for
the passage of the telephone bill to afford
relief from the intolerable eXacttons of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Company, Is ex-
pected TO work satisfactory result before

The senate Eager for Action.

The debate in the Senate today on the
local telephone situation is encouraging. 1t
indicates the early reporting Of the bill in
cooperating new company and likewise
prompt and favorable action on the bill by
the Senate itself. The explanations given by
Senators Mcmillan and Proctor of the rea-
sons for the delay in reporting the bill are
reassuring. for they show that there Is no
improper influence at work to prevent &C
ton by the committee. but that on the con-
trary the committees delay has been In
spired by proper desire to avoid a mis-
take. The Senate is apparently eager for
opportunity to vote on this proposition,
judging from the earnest remarks Of Sena-
tors Jones of Arkansas and Hale, who &C
curately expressed the sentiments of the
people of Washington. 1t is we'll that Mr..
Jones introduced his resolution withdrawing
the bill from the committee, for 1t gave an
opening for the plain talking which may
serve as a notice of the temper of the Sem
ate. In the light Of this debate it Is rea-
sonable to expect that the session will not
be allowed to close without the enactment
Of this measure of relief.

The inquisitorial questions propounded to
the public school children through the
teachers by the higher school authorities
are the type and symbol of the whole
course of the system in the District dur
ing the past few years. so sadly marked by
waning of public faith in the schools
They represent the tendency to overdo. to
carry possibly good ideas to ridiculous ex-
tremes, to nullify the benefits Of modern
advanced education by exaggeratfng the
defects. For instance. there is undoubtedly
something valuable in the idea of teaching
the children nature facts by direct associa-
ton 1t is probably broadening, helpful
mentally and physically. But when the
process Is carried to the extent Of crowding
out text books and reducing the pupil to
the basis of an over-cultured and under
taught phenomenon it loses It's value and
becomes handicap. When picnics sup
plant the drill of study, when spelling Is
absorbed by reading and writing rather
than from a book and thorough drill, when
arithmetic is dropped in the seventh grade
to give place to algebra, when examina-
lions are eliminated In order that the pupils
may be forced ahead the faster. when all
these things indicative of an overgrown
theory are demonstrated it Is time to en-
force change.
Just SO in the case of these questions.
which have so shocked the community. Be
hind them is germ of virtue. There is
undoubted value in occasional physical ex-
ANNA tons of pupils to prevent their ex-
posture to disease. to keep them from over
work, to check developing weakness. The
eyes and the throat of the studying, grow
ing child should be especially watched. 1t
Is well that the Medical Society of Wash
ington has undertaken to conduct certain
phases of this work in the interests of
healthful generation of pupils. But let 1t
stop at that. Do not, under the pretense
Of safeguarding the child's health. destroy
Its self-respect, or its faith in home and
parents, or its sense of individual privacy.
Do not force the teachers to become detec-
tives instead of helpful instructors. Do
not let the theory run away with the work
erS.
1t is fully expected that the District ap-
Precipitation bill will become law contain
ing the provision for reorganizing the
schools. 1t is furthermore expected that
the first step of reorganization will be to
sweep away all the evil effects Of the fads
which have formed so conspicuous a feature
of the local educational system for several
years, restore the schools to a sane. safe
basis and intrust their management to
men and women who can be relied upon to
follow the principles of sound education
and to obey the commands Of those upon
whom the ultimate responsibility is placed
by this new law. The exposure of the
school inquisition has removed the last
doubt and should in turn be the cause Of
the removal of the last vestige Of the old
management.

Sighting the Navy.

1t is as If man were to buy an expen-
sive automobile and then send 1t to the
cow yard to stay; or costly repeater and
refuse to wind 1t; to build a needed
bridge and fail to lay a floor for it: or to
mobilize an army and refuse to furnish
arms.
Congress Is pursuing the paltry policy
toward the navy 1t has all along pursued
toward our coast defenses and our artil-
lery. We have guns, but no men to put
behind them We have ships, and will
have MORE but are without the human ma
terial which converts immobile vessels into
swift protectors and stern monitors.

reputation would be selected Byf> the
choice made hay prove wise. When Con
Ingersoll waA selected to>1pfesent Mr..
Blaines name aCincinDsd in 1876 he had
only a local repnsatfon. Some Of Mr..
Blaine's friends en- that account feared that
a mistake had been made. Their idea was
that the speech placing in nomination for
President one of the most brilliant and at
tractive men of the day should be made by
an orator of the highest renown. But after
Col. IngersoI had executed his commission
there was not a Blaine man between the
two oceans who did not rejoice in the ora
torical triumph achieved. The speech was
conceded on all hands to be "a gem Of
purest ray serene::'' and 1t not only made
Col. 1ngersolls fortune. but it added even to
Mr.. Blaines already marvellous popularity.
Since that time orators Of renown have
sought such assignments. And there have
been several other notable achievements.
Mr.. Conkling at Chicago in 1880 placed Gen.
Grant in nomination in a speech of extraor-
binary beauty and power. It has been
thought in some quarters superior to Col.
IngersolPs. And in the same convention
Gen. Garfield presented the name of Mr..
Sherman in a speech of such grace and lu-
cidity that in the end it led to his own NOM
iration. When the favorites proved to be
just StronS enough TO deadlock the conVen-
ton. the delegates still under the influence
of Gen. Garfields eloquence. turned to him.
and. to settle the controversy. put the
standard into his hands. And at St. Louis,
in 1885, Daniel Dougherty, in nominating
Mr.. Cleveland. made the last brilliant speech
of brilliant career.
The people have been so educated in these
matters. therefore. and have become so ex-
acting that Mr.. Oldham faces a great re-
sponsibility.

Although the celestial spectacle furnished
the people of Washington today was some
what marred by cloudy sky. the reports
from the path of totality. where the real
scientific work was done. show that ideal
conditions prevailed. greatly TO the joy OF
the astronomers. 1t Is to be expected.
therefore, that highly interesting and per.
haps valuable results will be secured from
the elaborate preparations which have been
under way for months In anticipation of
that rare event. a total eclipse of the sun
within easy reach of the scientific head
quarters The chief interest centers In the
corona. the study Of which at such rare
intervals has not been sufficiently thorough
to satisfy the astronomers as to the nature
of the suns incandescence. With many
hundreds of highly trained eyes and. bet
ter still. scores of accurate and wonderfully
developed cameras pointed at the sun dur
ing its observation, it is felt that a greater
addition will be made this year to the sum
of sun-knowledge than has ever resulted
from a previous eclipse. The intruments in
use for these purposes are of extraordinary
power and accuracy. 1t is possible now
to employ photography where before it
was considered chimerical to undertake
more than the mere visual observation Of
phenomena. Indeed. the science of astrono-
my. aided by chemistry and mechanics.
has made such strides that it Is. bewildering
to the lay mind TO attempt to fathom the
mysteries of its progress. Yet the popular
interest in these events is keener than ever.
owing presumably to the wider reading of
the people on scientific matters through
the newspapers and magazines. One of the
most satisfactory features Of today's dis
play of heavenly incidents was the fact
that the eclipse occurred within close range
of the great establishments which have
been equipped at vast labor and enormous
expense for Interpreting the observed facts
of the universe. failure under such cir
cumstances to secure clear view of the
eclipse was extremely unlikely. for observa-
ton stations We're stretched all along the
path of totality across the country and 1t
would have been remarkable had the skies
been clouded throughout the path. When
the path of to,ality lies at great distance
from base. as in Africa or Asia, the OBJ
servation points are necessarily few and
the chances of failure are correspondingly
increased. while the expense of the enter
prise is very heavy. Probably when the
results collated 1t will be found that
despite the extensiveness of the prepara-
this has been the cheapest and the most
profitable eclipse experience ever enjoyed
by astronomers.

Decent Care of the Insane.
