Avenue Eoundati0nz.

The bugaboo Of insufficient foundations
for heavy buildings on the south side of
Pennsylvania avenue has been effectually
dispeiled through the enterprise of the gov
eminent and local street railroad COM
pany and the Investigations conducted by
both public officials and private persons,
until today it is the veriest absurdity to
urge against the location of such structures
on that area on the ground of questionable
underpinning. Modern building science has
completely solved whatever problems ma
ture may have provided in the past, until
now the item of founda ton cost has been
diminished to a most reasonable percent
age.
A news article printed today contains
suggestive statistics to the steady in
crease in land values along this stretch of
avenue as a result of the improvements
already made there 1t is a good business
proposition to move now to secure all the
territory designated by SO many Legislators
as comprising the natural site for future
public buildings. in order, to save paying
the increased price which will certainly be
demanded by owners and awarded by con-
demnation juries under different circum-
stances
II is against all reason that Pennsylvania
slightly condition. The strides already
taken toward its adornment and develop
ment national thoroughfare show what
can be expected In the years to come
Every great procession passing between
the Capitol and the White House is "a
stroke in its behalf. The eyes of the people
of all the states are being thus steadily
opened to the fact that at the national cap
ital the most conspicuous, historical and
useful of all the avenues lacks proper gov
ernmental recognition.
This sentiment steadily reacts upon the
legislators at the Capitol, who are now
showing its effects through their frank ap-
proval of the project to locate the future
public buildings on the avenues south
side. 1t is more than local sentiment
1t is an expression of the nations interest
in the city which represents its centralized
authority.
The demand for the new line of policy
thus clearly exists, both locally and ma
tionally. The opportunity TO carry 1t out
Is at hand, and under excellent terms
There are no physical obstacles in the way
of its contamination. The land rates are
reasonable, the sites are central and con-
venient, the foundatio possibilities are re-
assuring and the time is ripe for the enter
prise. Under these circumstances it is not
surprising to find each day half a dozen or
more senators and representatives Voicing
the belief that there should be no more de-
lay in reaching a decision which means so
much both to the government and to the
capital.

The "COntror' of the Canal

The Hay-PauncefOte treaty is now before
the Senate and the text has been made
public. so that the precise value of the in
strument may be considered by the public
while the debates are in progress in the
upper house. There is a marked dfspOsI-
ton TO criticise the new treaty, on the
ground that 1t does not sufficiently preserve
the right OF the United States to costrol
the isthmian canal in time of war The
provision for an unfortified canal and for
the free passage of all vessels at all times
is unacceptable to those who hold that the
canal, when built. should be absolutely
under the direction and at the DISPOSAL of
this government.
II is within the power OF the Senate now
to amend the treaty by eliminating this
objectionable feature. 1t then rests with
England to accept or reject the altered
agreement Such action by the Senate
would be of exceptional service in that IL
would AFFORD formal and peremptory notice
TO England that the American view of
control goes much further than that re-
Gently formulated by Secretary Hay and
Ambassador Pauncefote.
Control in the popular mind on this

selves under a wise administration of ths

The resignation Of Judge Taft from the
United States circuit bench to accept a
place on the commission to establish civil
government in the Philippines Islands is
an act at once in the highest de-
gree creditabIe to him and assuring to the
country. 1t is as distinctly a manifesto
ton OF true patriotism as if he had offered
his services to the country in the capacity
of a soldier. He gives up a life office for
which he possesses brilliant qualifications,
and in which he has distinguished himself,
is To leave home surroundings in every way
dear To him, to go TO a new country and,
among strangers and for strangers. under
take work both complicated and difficult.
Such an act calls for both courage and the
spirit of sacrifice, and the man who ex-
hibits both in the countrys interests is en-
titled TO generous NEED of praise.
The country will be assured by it because
it te%tities 10 the high public spirit to be
found in men of high moral and intellectual
grade at a time when such men are so
much in demand. Never indeed since the
government was organized has the need for
such men for the public service been so
pressing. One of the complaints made by
the anti-expansioniSts has been that men
qualified for the governments work in the
new possessions could not be induced 10 go
there and undertake it. Senator Beveridge
saw a reply to this by citing the case of
General Leonard Wood, and now the case
of Judge Taft may be added The one
man declined a most tempting offer TO re-
main in this country, while the other sur
renders all the comforts of a life office at
home to serve the state abroad at the call
OF the state. These two appointments are
III themselves assurances both that the
proper men may be found for this new
service and that the President is seeking
them.
II is not generally known how Judge Taft
feels on the subject of expansion. If he was
not originally in favor of the new policy,
so much greater the credit due him for re-
spending, now that the country is COM
miJted To it, to help establish it upon A
firm basis. If he was originally an expan-
siDniSt. his credit is still great for CONSENT
ing to assist in carrying forward the work
growing out Of the policy he approved. In
either event Judge Taft has written his
name higher up on the roll of honor than
even it was before.

and whoever the contestants. The United
States has established a broad doctrine of
paramount concern in the affairs of the
hemisphere and at every point of issue
with old-world powers has distinctly re-
served the principle for continued life and
effect. Its efficiency now depends virtually
upon the preservation of the absolute, I'M
qualified. unhampered right to regulate the
war uses of this canal without implied or
stated obligation to listen to suggestions
from other powers
This means that in case the United States
were to go to war with another nation this
country would have the right to use the
canal as a part Of the domestic defenses
and war-making equipment, to exclude the
warships of the enemy and it's allies from
the canal and thus to make the fullest use
of the Improvement for the national ad-
vantage. 1t further means that in case of
war between other nations, with the United
States neutral factor, the canal should
be free for the use of the warships of both
belligerents. just as was the Sue5 canal
during the war with Spain, under some
such regulations those embodied in the
HayPauncefote agreement
This definition of control is likely to pre-
vail against that laid down In the new
treaty. There Is ample time and opportu-
nifty for it to be enunciated in effective
terms. There is meanwhile no occasion for
excitement or for execraion. There is no
warrant for playing politics and accusing
American officials of undue compla cency or
foreign powers of trickery. There was
nothing concealed in the treaty. Its mean
ing was plain upon its first reading. All
that was needed was perusal to show that
there were two differing definitions of canal
control. with the final choice between them
vested in the Senate. The hope Is that the
treaty may be amended and ratified In
amended form by both sides in a manner
and in season to permit the immediate con-
struction of the canal upon the basis of
actual American control in time of war.

A City Limits Law.

The official movement toward securing
the passage of law by Congress formally
abrogating the boundary character of Flor
ida avenue should result in bringing to an
effective climax the local desire to this
end This desire has been growing from
season to season. but without finding point
ed expression in any legislative proposition
until now the demand for the removal Of
this restriction upon the citys growth has
become too insistent to be further neglect
ed. There should be opposition what
ever to the passage of such a law, which
is required by every consideration of local
development. Early action in framing and
presenting the measure on the part Of the
Commissioners will doubtless result in a
response by the District committees of Con-
gress.

The AIdrich Amendment.

The republican members of the Senate
finance committee have acted wisely in Of
frring the following amendment to the
pending currency bill:
THAT the provisions of this act are not
intended to place any obstacles in the way
OF the accomplishment of International BIZ
!netaTlism. provided the same be secured
by concurrent action of the leading COM
r1erciaI nations of the world. and at
ratio which shall insure permanence of rel
alive value between gold and silver
The position of the sound money men in
1886 was that silver could not be restored
to its former place as money of redemption
without the aid and concurrence of the
leading nations of the earth They dis
claimed any unfriendliness to silver, and
ir token Of that pledged themselves to take
the initiative and try to bring about an
international agreement in favor of the free
coinage of silver at a ratio which should
put nothing to hazard. They kept that
pledge. but the effort failed. The commits
sion which was sent abroad in the interests
of silver was composed exclusively of the
advocates of the white metal, and every
thing WAS done that could be done for the
rt ha Utilization of silver. The story of the
MISS IN and its results is well known
The position of the sound money men
operating on the gold standard, the United
STATES Included. and as it has so recently
been shown that international bimetallism
* al present. impossible. this government
should continue to conduct its business on
the gold standard. There is still no decla-
ration against silver. Why should there be?
The only difference between the position
of the sound money men now and in 1895
with regard to bimetallism is that four
years ago they thought that by taking the
initiative this government might bring
about an international agreement. But
now there is no such prospect, and hence
there is no pledge now about an American
il 5tiative.
This country accepts the gold standard
because ii is the money standard of the
civilized world. II is not strong enough
~ set up and maintain a money standard
OF its own and in direct opposition to that.
Likewise. should the money standard for
any cause be changed, and bimetallism be
adopted hy the great powers, the United
States would of course adopt it too. 1t
could not. if it would. refuse to do so. 1t
could no more maintain the gold standard
against Internal onal bimetallism than it
could maintain bimetallism against the in
financial policy of the United States so
far ~ he standard of value is concerned
must continue to conform to accepted wis
dom and applied principles through bout the
world.

The Ciayton-Bulwer treaty permits the
construction of a partnership waterway by
England and the United States, those ma
tons sharing in the profits and the advan-
tages of the enterprise. The Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty would permit the construction
of the canal by the United States alone as
a business investment without any Ameri-
can advantage in time of war. Neither of
these meets the desire of the people of
this country, which is to obtain the right to
construct canal both as u business invest
ment and as an item of war power, without
qualification or infringement by any for
eign nation. Under the circumstances the
prospect is that the Clayton Bulwer treaty
will be abrogated and the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty will be either amended so as to give
formal expression 10 this unmistakabe
American purpose or else rejected to make
way for another agreement conformable to
that purpose.

are Of a different opinion. Mr.. Sewall, how
ever, is probably right.
But Mr.. Sewall, being in frank and COM
municative mood, does not stop with dis
posing Of himself. but dfsposes of his
former yoke-mate also. He expects Mr.
Bryan to be renominated, but fears that he
cannot win. The country Is too prosperous
The time Is not ripe for reform measures.
So that, as Mr.. Sewall reads the signs Mr..
Mckinley will serve a second term in the
White House. Mr.. Bryan is of different
opinion, but Mr.. Sewall Is probably again
right
1t Is no surprise to learn that Mr.. Sewall
Is an expansionist and favors the reten-
ton Of the Philippines. He has Travelled
extensively, is a business man Of large and
varied interests and takes liberal view Of
the national duty and opportunity. The
question of increased trade to the far east
is one he can we'll understand, and he hopes
to see the country establish itself firmly on
territory Of its own in that quarter Of the
globe. That, indeed. is the practical, BUSH
ness view north. south, east and west. He
could not well hold other opinion without
losing touch with the dominant business
sentiment of the country.
After declaring himself an expansionIst,
which takes him out of the camp of the
Bryanites. and then that he neither expects
nor desires the vice presidential noriina ton,
and then that the chances all favor the
reelection Of Mr.. Mckinley, Mr.. Sewall
closes with the statement that If his party
drafts him he will serve. He will not be
drafted. But it shows how strong party
attachment is when man under pressure
would be willing to stand as a candidate
for policies from which as an Individual he
wholly dissents

A Blooming ExpansiOnist.

From the Newark News.
Arthur Sewall of Maine, one time can
didate for Vice President of the United
States, is out of quarantine at Honolulu
and safe in San Francisco. He is also "out
of the woods on several important ques-
lions of the day. He said last night for
publication that he favors the holding of
the Philippines, adding: The United States
should stand with the administration in all
that Is being done to hold the Philippines.
They are well worth retaining
And as if this were not party heresy
enough for one day. Mr.. SewalI made bold
to declare: 1.-THE fact is, the country has
been too prosperous to warrant any hope
of change in the national administration,
and people are slow to take up reform
measures when times are as good as they
are at present"
Worse and more of it, A square-in-the-
face blow al anti-expansion, an optimistic
blast on the horn of prosperity and a pre-
diction that his old yoke-fellow of 1896 is
foredoomed to defeat in 1900! Not a word

breath against the trusts. the particular
