Persistent POIyEamists,

Utah's poygamists have grown bold of
late. They have proposed a new state
statute restricting complaints upon which
indictments may be found for unlawful
cchabitation to the relatives of the parties,
thus excluding all outsiders from taking
the initiative to secure punishment for
poiygamous practices. This statute, If en-
forced would materially restrict the appli-
cation of the anti-polygamy law, for the
majority of prosecutions heretofore have
been instigated by third parties. In actual
practice it would probably be rare for q
member of the family to carry relative
into court The effect of the statute would
therefore be to grant practical license to
polygamists to the extent that they could
rely upon the complacence of their kin.
There is thus no guarantee that the pledge
of abstention from plural marriages which
led to the grant of statehood will ever be
kept. The attitude of the American people
OF the subject was clearly shown when
Roberts sought admission to Congress.
That attitude has not changed, and this
latest evidence of Norman persistence will
only arouse bitter sentiment on all Sides

ton. There can be no mistaking popular
sentiment in the case The time Is ripe to
utilize that sentiment, even though nine
months must elapse before Congress will
convene and have opportunity to act. The
next session Is the best one in which to
approach the houses with a definite propo-
sition for immediate legislation, for the
amendment, If adopted, would affect its
successor, while prolonging the term of
the sitting executive, 50 that it would not
be possible to charge the members of the
acting houses with selfish motives.
The practical method is probably for
some form of central body to be organized
here, to employ the summer season in Sc
curing state organizations for the purpose
of obtaining petitions from the people,
without regard to party for change of
date. 1t should be possible by such a pro-
cess to lay before Congress shortly after
it convenes a practical demand from the
country, signed by hundreds of thousands

the initiative in order to utilize the forces
which so clearly lie ready for application

The District suffered when the river and
harbor Dlll failed of passage in the closing
hours of Congress, because that measure
contained the first appropriation ever ap-
proved ny the conferees for the improve
ment of the Anacostia river and il there
fore marked distinct advance over pre-
Vious experiences. The fight for this item
has been long and uniformly unsuccessful
until the present time. Year after wear
the committees have rejected it, at one
stage of the bill or another A few sea-
SONS ago the economists of the House
yielded sufficiently TO grant d sum for a
survey. and it was on the strength of the
showing officially made in consequence
that the Senate adopted the item this year
and obtained the concurrence of the House
conferees. To be sure the entire pro-
1eCt was not formally approved and the
appropriation was limited to providing n
channel to the navy yard. But it was a
practical start, and as such the success
OF the Senate was keenly appreciated.
The total failure of the bill, while in
Yolvins another delay in the execution of
this important work. leaves the matter in
better shape than ever before. The argu-
ment for the inclusion of the APPROXIMATION
when the next budget Is prepared will he
virtually unanswerable in view of the rec

bill. 1t may be that another year will find
the case of the Anacostia so strong in the

AUniOn Station Possible.

The talk of consolidation of the Pennsyl-
vania and Baltimore and Ohio corporate
interests will not down. 1t appears to
have a substantial basis, as attested by
emphatic statements made in New York
to the effect that the s100, ,OO0, 600 increase
of the Pennsylvania's stock ordered yes
terday at a Philadelphia meeting of stock
holders is intended to cover, in part, the
protected purchase of Baltimore and Ohio
stock The local interest centers naturally
in the possibilities of such merger as
will cause the abandonment of one or the
other of the terminals in this city. The
more the matter is considered the more
apparent is the economy of a union sta
ton Such a station would best serve the
traffic and business interests of Washing
ton. Pride in the individuality of a rail-
road property has small place in the equa-
tion nowadays. The line which hauls the
people cheapest and most comfortably,
safely and speedily, will get the heaviest
passenger patronage. With rates fixed by
mutual agreement and both roads MAIN
tanning a similar equipment and schedule
passengers follow personal inciinations, un-
affected in the main by the chance of
station location. Under a joint ownership
the maintenance of separate stations would
be undesirable from every point of view.
Washington has always been reluctant to
approve the trespass of the railroad upon
the Mall, but now that Congress has con-
firmed the corporations seizure of the park
the capital would welcome combination
resulting in the construction there of a
great, attractive union station, such as
the merger would require, thus relieving
the northern portion of the city from the
railroad nuisance. On the other hand, it
is assured that the people would approve
the choice of the northern site should cir
cumstance suggest thus freeing the Mall
from its disfguring occupant. OF the two
possibilities the Mall site, however, seems
to be considered as more likely, in view
of the fact that the northern location
would not accommodate the southern con-
nections.

Near-side Stop Next Sunday,

According to an understanding between
the street railway companies the near
side stopping rule, recently ordered by the
Commissioners, will be enforced next Sum
day. This change should be the last of
the series. The people of Washington are
themselves kept in uncertainty by the re-
peated reconsiderations of the regulation,
but the tourists, who in the course of a
year number hundreds of thousands, are
utterly bewildered, when, from visit to
visit, they find the order different. For
the sake of the latter class it would be
a stroke of commendable enterprise for
the companies to display cards conspicu-
. ously In the cars stating the rule. so that
it will become firmly fixed In the minds of
all car riders.

Cleveland and Hill.

The two letters received by the Crescent
Democratic Club of Baltimore from Grover
Cleveland and David 3. Hill on the sub
iect of the future of the democratic party
are fair samples of the epistolary styles of
those two men. Which is but another
form of saying that the one letter is
short string of solemn generalities, while
the other though diplomatic, is very much
t0 the point.
MIR. Cleveland gives the same advice now
To all democrats who apply, and in much
the same terms. The party must go back
to first principles, but he does not state
specifically just how far back it must go.
But one may guess. Mr. Cleveland means
as far back as 1892. when the party under
the leadership of a man for whom he still
cherishes a very high regard carried the
country. Go back to the platform of that
year and particularly to the leader of
that day-who is feeling we'll and could
without serious inconvenience to himself
make another presidential campaign-and
the democracy may hope again. Thus, in
substance. Mr.. Cleveland.
Mr.. Hill. in effect and specifically, de-
clares against Bryanism. Take this sem
tenCe: There must be question of our
intention to fearlessy maintain the ma
tional credit under any and all circum-
stances What is that but to say that
while the democratic party adheres to
free silver the country will have none of
it? Take this sentence: 1--WE must not
permit our opponents to place us in false
position as the enemies of public order"
Which is but another way of saying that
there must be no further coddling of riot
ers. or attacks on the courts. Take this
sentence: Opposition to dangerous cor
Porate combinations should not be allowed
10 degenerate into indiscriminate attacks
upon cherished rights" Mr.. Hill undeubt-
edly thinks that the Bryanites have over
done the antitrust cry. And take this
sentence: I'VE should concilate rather
than antagOnize the great business inter-
ests Of the country" AS sound sense as
ever was uttered by politician in this or
any other land.
MIR. Hill states the whole case clearly
His advice is good. His party could not
do better than accept it. But acceptance
means the repudiation of the Chicago
platform from A to L. Is the party pre-
pared for that action? In order to gain
recruits in the east and in the middle states
Is it ready to give the sack to the populists
and silver republicans of the west who

A Costly Royal Rap.

Stage realism has its positive limitations,
as IA noted actor, who is conspicuous for
the impetuosity of his temper, has just

pEia. This actor plays the part of king

stands an army, composed of intelligent

to break the eyenness of line which is the

at the king, angered by such disdain of
royal requirements, raped the offender
over the crown with his truncheon. Later,
to enforce discipline in his realm, he had
the guilty wretch incontinently exiied.
Now in real kingly life this would have
been proper. The monarch would have had
a vacant place in the ranks to fill, without
other consequences. But the stage soldier,
even a stumbler, has rights which the

President Hadley's Alarm.

From the New York World.
President Hadley of Yale is frank,
courageous young man, valuable and prom
ising. But he is, in some of his intellectual
perceptions, behind the times
In an age of mighty combinations and
concentrations. made possible and appar-
emily necessary by the development of ma
chinery and invention on the one hand and
of brains on the other, he is talking as If
the world could still be managed upon the
principles that apply only to the efforts of
the individual working almost unaided
either by machines or by his fellow man.
Pi esident Hadley should reconstruct his
economic ideas in order that he may make
more effective his appeals to the moral
sense of the people, that is now In part
dazed by the stupendous new conditions
and in part blinded by enormous prosperity.

The ..Change-of-Date- Organization

The movement for a change in the in
auguration date, if formally started on the
basis of organization, should not be locally
confined. II should be made national in
character, just as the occasion itself Is ma
tional, and as the assemblage In Washing
ton represents the entire country. The
conditions this year are exceptionally ia
vorable for such a broad enterprise. The
ceremonies were participated in by the
governors OF about dozen states. by the
troops of twice as many, and by civilian
organizations from every large city. The
crowd included citizens of probably every
commonwealth. The process OF changing
the date involves the consent of the state
legislatures, and thus the great army of
officials. soldiers and civilians which in
Taded Washington last week, now esti-
mated at close upon 10000 may be con-
sidered as an effective, almost as a neces-
sary- ally in the campaign. Each of the
governors present may be relied upon per-
sonaIly to sympathize with the enterprise,
and To lend his aid in the securing of legis-
Iatiye approval should Congress submit
the requisite amendment to the states. In
the civic and military organizations are
men high in the councils of their eommuni-
ties, leaders of public opinion, often palit-
icaI mana gers

to enlist all these forces for the two lines
of assault, first to obtain the congressional
initiative perhaps under state pressure
and then TO secure ratification. The news

favorable to the change. In some cases
the dangers of further delay are graphically

King-KiIIing Manfacs.
From the Chicago Record,


1t is evident that the 1unatic with the
mania for king-slaughter must still be
reckoned with as uncertain but possibly
very important factor in the history of the
age. The Weak-minded individual who
threw stone at the kaiser in Bremen last
week has succeeded in inf1icting compare
lively slight wound, but that it really was
slight was merely matter of luck. A di-
vergence Of half an inch in his aim, a
little heavier missile or little mo-e
strength in the arm Of the assassin and the
peace of the entire world might have been
placed at stake. The loss Of Kaiser Will
helm, more than that of any other living
monarch. would tend to upset the equili-
brium among the powers. Apparently after
all reasonable precautions have been taken
there is no way Of gaining an absolute as
surance that the king-killing maniac can be
restrained. He Is to be apprehended at any
time and in all countries, and his presence
constitutes a possible factor in history
which Is none the less real because it
seems to work largely in accordance with
the laws Of chance.
