tail, and all of them miscarried.
But, nevertheless, judged by the con-
ditIons that surrounded him, he was
justified in putting them out. He
played his game, indeed, quite as cor
rectly as Mr.. Hanna did his. They
were confronted by vastly different
necessities. The republicans started
out by taking success for granted. Mr..
Hanna accordingly was obliged to
dwell constantly upon danger in order
to get his people to wake up and
so 10 work. The democrats, on the
other hand, were greatly discouraged
at the outset. Many Of them were
inclined to take defeat for granted.
Mr.. Jones accordingly in order to
wake his people up, had to hold out
to them rosy prospects of success. He
encouraged the democrats of the west
with reports of gains in the east-and
these proved to be well founded

reorganization of the democratic par.

proposition He holds-and he is
supported in his position by the great
majority of the national committee
that not only is no reorganization
necessary but none is possible along
the line, and for the purposes contem
plated by the men who are urging
that step. So Tar as known, this
second defeat of ,..e party on the

mind as to the wisdom Of it's princi

PORTO RICO'S CUBAN CLAIM.

The state department has decided
that the United States government
cannot interfere in favor of Porto Ri
co in the matter of her claim against
Cuba for $2,5OO,000 The Spanish
government raised loan to that
amount from the Porto Ricans to help
prosecute military operations in Cuba
basing the loans upon the revenues of
the latter island. In substance, the
decision of the United States govern
ment is to the eject that, leaving
aside the question Of equity in that
case, to sanction the collection of a
claim against Cuba now would be to
open the door to numberless other
and larger claims, which would ex-
haust the financial resources of the
island.
1t is known to the authorities that
most of the claims sought to be in
Guided in the treaty of peace at Paris,
but resolutely excluded by the Uni
ted States commissioners, are not re-
garded by the claimants as dead by
any means, but are simply held in
allegiance to be presented and en-
forced by the full power of foreign
governments if that can be invoked
by the claimants as soon as the Unit
ed States control Of the island ceases.

Washineton's Public Buildings

Congress is asked this year to pro-
vide a hall of records, where all doc
uments not needed for immediate
use could find safe Judgment. AS
matters now stand the valuable rec
ords of the state, war, navy, treasury
and other departments are in con-
slant danger of destruction by fire in
the crowded SarretS and cellars of
the present buildings, besides occu
plying room which is needed for the
transaction of business.
Secretary Gage has clearly shown
the need of another story on the
treasury building to provide more Of
flee room. The increase in the in
sular bureaus and the great increase
in the ordinary business of the treas
ury has enlarged the work Of that de-
partment and crowded the present
quarters with clerks. The minor de-
partments of the government, such as
the geological survey, bureau of sta
tistics, educational bureau and many
others are scattered about the city
in temporary locations, inconvenient
of access and ill-suited to their needs.
More public buildings are necessary
and are real economy in the end in
the matter of rent and time saved.
There is no longer need for con-
gress to be niggardly in such matters,
for the people are proud of their great
ment in all it's branches should be
properly and tastefully housed, to
the glory of the nation and the bet
terment of the service. Washington
has become a place of pilgrimage for
all good citizens. It's beauty and use
fulness are not local; they belong to
all the states and there is a common
pride in their increase as opponents
of great nations art and wealth. AS
transportation facilities get better
and the habit of travel grows upon the
people the visitors to the nations
capital increase in numbers.
Among all the thousands who &C
there every year for pleasure or bus
mess there is no word of complaint
at the money which has been eXpend
ed for public utility, for while many

events transpired on the night of Sep
TENDER 1G last.
Captain Steedman pleaded mot
