wnpted-A Corner.tone.

As will be seed by reference to the article
on the subject which appears in the news
columns today, the Memorial bridge project
is by means in an experimental stage.
but is in shape for practical execution upon
definite lines and according to the best
Judgment of qualified authorities. The pre-
Uminary work of surveying and estimating.
of planning and preparing has all been
done and. inaSmuch 1t was under the
supervision of the engineers of the army.
unuuestionably well done. There is moth
ing uncertain or dubious about the project
as ii stands today therefore. save the
doubts of a few architects and art critics
who are not wholly pleased with the ac-
copied design. As The Star suggested yes
terday. an absolute agreement upon this
subject will never be obtained.
The enactment of the Senate amendment
appropriating S2,UGO for the commence
ment of the work is demanded by the en-
tire history of the enterprise. Congress
virtually pledged itself to prompt action
when it provided at the last session for the
receipt Of plans by an expert commission
There was no thought then in the public
mind that after this task has been accom-
pished we'll as circumstances would per-
nit and to the eminent satisfaction of
most people. there would be another year
of delay.
The appropriation would thus be required
by the ordinary circumstances OF the case
But the special situation at this juncture
makes such action doubly desirable The
centennial celebration in December con-
templates as its central feature the laying
of the cornerstone of a national memorial
structure. The local committee favored
the Memorial bridge. but the House and
rcd IN N q
larged Executive Mansion for that of the
Memorial bridge. and the local committee
men assented. But the House and Senate
have not supplied the new White House
cornerstone for celebration purposes in De-
cemier and there is no Legislative PROPOSE
ton pending which makes this provision.
There is, however, a reasonable probable
ity of securing a Memorial bridge corner
stone. which will be available for celebra-
ton purposes in the year 1900. Under
these circumstances, while it is not expect
ed desired that there should be any
abatement in the movement for
larged White House. ii would not be
reasonable for Washington to ask the
the White House cornerstone in time for
original suggestion of the Washington COM
mittee and to utilize the Memorial bridge
cornerstone for this purpose.
The facts of the case virtually place Con-
gress under bonds 10 provide some sort of
a cornerstone for centennial celebration
purposes in 1900.

Pnss the Grout Bill.

The House rules committee will not fix a
date for the consideration Of the Grout oleo
bill. The leaders Of the dominant party in
the House are apparently willing that the
>sion shall close without making an
effort to do justice to the farmers, the
householders and the business interests of
the country in general. They are laying up
a store of wrath against themselves in the
next campaign. for non action on this bill
is a contribution to the oleo trust and evil
dence that this powerful organization is
able to control or prevent inimical lesisla-
ton. 1t is to be hoped that the friends OF
this bill, who are unquestionably in g. ma
jority in the House. will contrive to force a
way for its passage by voting for the sus-
pension of the rules.

Evolution.

When the mercury is rising
At rate that is surprising.
And the sun is like pinwheel on parade;
When it's getting hot and hotter
And you wish you were an otter
Who could carelessly go swimming in the
shade,
Then you feel bit more humble
And you cease to glare and grumble
AT the lower animals, whose earth we
share:
For among our dearest wishes
Is to dwell down with the fishes
Or in arctic regions with the polar bear.
Then this Wanted Evolution
Seems scheme of persecution
Just to lure us from a cool and careless
state:
I'd be happy if wizard
Could transform me to lizard
Who might linger round some leafy gar
den gate.
I'd like to be oyster,
Or a clam inside his cloister,
Or a lobster at the bottom of the bay.
1t would be such satisfaction
If 1 might by some reaction
Turn around and evolute the other way!

The Attack on Commissioner Peck.
rom the Chicago Tribune

The integrity and executive ability of
General Peck have been so thoroughly
demonstrated that he deserves to have tile
benefit of all doubts in a matter of this
Kind. He has conducted his work with en-
ergy and ability and has created an Ameri-
can exhibit on the banks of the Seine that
is universally admitted to be a credit to
the nation. His friends have a right to
ask that his side be heard before paying
any attention to his detractors. MeanWh lille
there is the best of reason for the belief
that the whole story was invented with the
purpose of making a malicious personal at
tack upon Mr.. Peck.

Mr.. Willis said that he would vote next

chairman to sign the paving petition and
also, would vote to tear down the fence
and that the county should share with
Boulder the expense of providing seats
for the grounds. He thought the fence
