to 18th feeling prevailed that the granite
blocks should be retained because of the
better hold they afforded for the hoofs OF
truck horses OF late this important artery
has been virtually abandoned by all the
heavier vehicles save those delivering there'
and even they have as rule been hauled
along the smooth side streets to the nearest
point of approach. in order to avoid the
rough jolting haul along 9TH street. When
the work authorized by the new bill has
been done the Belgian block pavement will
have disappeared from Pennsylvania ave-
nue. to X street, a distance of nearly three
quarters of a mile.
There is no reason why the work should
not then be completed. giving 1th street
continuous smooth surface from Flor1da
avenue to the river. and affording what Is
now seriously lacking. a direct route to the
wharves over an asphalt pavement. In this
regard the street improvements OF WASH
ington have not kept pace with those in
other directions. Seventh street Is an Inn
portant feature Of the city's business enter
prise. 1t has lost somewhat from Its
former prestige, owing to the westward
movement which has affected business and
residence values. But by far the greater
part of the loss may be attributed to the
retention of the rough pavement. particu-
larly in view of the growth of the bicycle
traffic. 1t is to the best interests of the
whole city that this valuable artery of COM
merce be restored to its former Importance.
and to this end another installment in the
work should be welcomed by citizens Of all
classes and sections.

From the Cleveland Leader.

The deliberate murder of Policeman Shipp
raises the question again whether burglary,
at least in any dwelling not known TO be
uninhabited, ought not to be made a capital
offense, at the option of the judge presiding
at the trial of a convicted housebreaker.
Men guilty of such attacks upon the
rights and safety of law-abiding people de
serve no consideration. If they were put
to death when convicted there could be no
loss to society. When they are killed in
the act of housebreaking it is well for the
community afflicted by their presence.
Officers dealing with burglars should never
be slow to shoot and with as deadly effect
as possible. They cannot do any harm ii
they kill the men they are trying to capture
or subdue. and If they delay too long to use
their revoivers it may cost the lives of good
citizens. The burglar is sort of human
mad dog. dangerous long he is alive
and at large

Boers for America.

The St Louis Post-Dispatch has interro-
gated Gov. Stephens of Missouri, Gov
Stanley of Kansas and Gov. Jones of Ar
kansas on the subject of the suggested
trek of many leading Beers to the United
States in the event of complete British tri-
umph in South Africa. Each of those OFF,
Cials declares that he would welcome such
immigrants to the state he represents.
Why. certainly. Why not? Many Of the
Beers are men of thrift and capacity and
under American institutions would become
excellent citizens. They would have full
chance to develop and exhibit all of their
best qualities. The suffrage would speedily
be theirs. They would shortly be eligible to
office. and some of them would doubtless
shortly be holding office. The schools would
be open without condition to their children.
Their homes would be safe from imperti-
nent search, instigated by baseless suspi-
cions In a word. they would become in
short order free citizens of free country,
with u stake II. the game and opportunity

But. of course to the extent that they ap-
proved of and profJed by American institu-
tlons they would reflect upon the institu-
ti5hs of their own devising in the Trans
yaal. Nothing of real value here would re-
mind them of the old home. Men of edu-
cation, property and progress not put

ally his utterance reveals the fact Nat
Aguinaido is still dive, and he indmates
that the Tagal WASHINGTON is 6hly waiting
to be properly addressed m order to yield
allegiance. His words. as reported, are:
IF the civil commission will guarantee
protection to the personal and individual
rights and liberties of the Filipinos. leaving
the determination of our future political
status to the United States Congress. Aguin-
aldo will come in will order cessation OF
hosti,ities and will direct the surrender OF
arms"
This is an easy proposition. The admins
tration has never denied purpose to guar
antee the personal and individual hberues
of the Filipinos. while the determination
of the future political status of the islands
is necessarily relegated to the Congress. IL
Buencamino speaks by the card, and Is
really representative of the feeling among
the insurgent leaders. the civil commission
now on its way to Manila should be able
to effect a cessat ton of the insurrection
within a few weeks after getting at work.

The nomination of C. A. Towne of Min

elsewhere for the reason that it makes the

Another Pension Scandal.

Every private pension day in the House
breaks the record these days. Yesterday,
in brief time, $50 bills we're passed. With
our extraordinarily liberal pension laws
such a statement is prima facie evidence of
abuse 1t is hardly conceivable, except in
the rarest and most infrequent cases. that
any one fairly entitled to a pension can fail
to get one through the regular channels.

The hotly blazed on the long. dusty

That leads to the hurrying mart;
And the wearisome spell of the dangerous

Seemed to penetrate cen to the heart.
And yet like memory. distant and dim,
There came through the foliage dense
A perfume-it banished the frowning so
OF lilacs from over the fence.
The wayfarer paused. and there came to his
mind
The od-fashioned place Of his birth;
lllumed by face that was gentle and kind
The eentlest and kindest on earth:
The big. rambling garden, the nook where
boy
Dreamed on of a future immense;
Where the sunbeams would Iiuger In LATEST
joy,
And the lilacs hung over the fence.
Again to the journey. Again to the strife.
And yet. mid the toll Of the day
A faint. subtle odor. with memories rife.
Full oft through the air seemed to stray.
The smile had a meaning which no one
could learn,
That lightened his features so tense.
AS the perfume in fancy would sweetly
return
