A Pressing Need.

A movement is under way to press upon
the attention of Congress Immediately after
recess the needs of the Business High
School OF the District This effort deserves
the hearty support and assistance Of every
citizen of the capital, for the institution
has developed into one of the most salts
factory features of the local public school
system. The present building Is absolutely
inadequate in every particular, save that
1t shelters the school from the elements. 1t
Is not we'll located 1t is not suited for school
uses, it Is badly lighted and indeed IT is
discredit to the District that so poor
home should be provided for so important
an institution The Business High School
has developed from the academic establish
ment in the natural course Of events 1t
was started when the Central High School
building was first occupied. In 1852, and
from that small beginning. with q mere
handful Of pupils, it has grown into the
proportions Of a commercial college. Not
long ago an exhibition OF the work Of its
pupils was displayed. demonstrating that
the standard has been steadily raised until
this school Is one Of the foundations Of the
Districts business enterprise and ability.
Its graduates are now engaged in every line
OF activity. Some of them have become
leaders In the local business world Others
are growing into positions of Importance
and trust, IN consequence of the excellent
training they received at this school This
progress has been made in spite Of the
drawback which the school has suffered
from its lack of suitable quarters. 1t is
confidently believed by the school authori-
ties and the citizens who have had occa-
sion to study the situation that with a
modern building, suitably planned and large
enough to permit expansion, the Business
High School will soon grow into one Of the
foremost exponents Of practical education
IN the United States The day Of the ad-
vancement should be no longer postponed
No considerations of economy can Justify
further delay in answering the call for O
fund for this purpose

Boss and Millionaire.

When Representative Nicholas Muller re-
signed his seat in Congress on account Of
Ill health he perhaps had an tnkling Of the
row he was precipitating in the seventh
New York district. which includes the ex-
treme tip Of Manhattan Island and the
whole of Staten Island. II SO, he was de-
liberately opening the way to more troubles
for Croker. already burdened sorely with
political woes. Mr.. Muller's resignation
has been followed by the nveliest kind Of
facttonai row, with O'Grady, one Of
Croker's own men, standing al the candi-
date OF the machine. and Perry Belmont,
millionaire, claiming to have secured the
nomination of the regular democracy. The
republican candidate is Of course saying
little. but looking out for votes. It is not
yet determined whether Belmont or O Grady
will run. The case is to be heard today by
the board Of elections to decide which Is
entitled to the certificate Of nomination. 1t
Is rumored that neither side will abide by
this decision. but that the rejected candi-
date win appeal to the courts. Perhaps
way may be found eventually for both to
get on the ticket, by means of an inde-
pendent nomination for the one rejected by
both board and courts.
The trouble all arises from the fact that
Mr.. Croker does not like Mr.. Belmont He
now declares that Belmont has been run
ming after him" for long time, trying to
secure his Endorsement. while Belmont In
dfgnantly denies that he ever sought
Croker's support, averring that he only ask
ed for his neutrality. Belmont even threat
ems to sue Croker for libel for some Of the
unkind things the Boss has said about the
millionaire politician. Croker openly de-
nounces Belmont's candidacy as a move to-
ward piutocratic democracy, threatening
the chance of the poor man to get to Con-
gress. Some Of his friends have limited sig
nificantly Of an understanding between Bel
mont and Muller, who is the formers at
torney.
Mr.. Croker's criticism Of Perry Belmont
as a millionaire candidate Is rather remark
able, In view OF the fact that Mr.. Belmont q
own brother, o. II. P. Belmont, is now SIT
ting in Congress in consequence Of Mr.
Croker's favor of selection. No such charge
was raised against him by the goss. The
whole affair Is diverting to the nou-parti-
san public and especially encouraging to
the republican candidate

The Modern Christmas Waits.

The making Of noise on Christmas eve
has become local custom which some
people find difficult Of hearty acceptance
Time was when this display of effervescence
was restrained until the last night of the
year, but now the eve of sacred occa-
sion. set apart for the cultivation of kind
~, cheerful thoughts, is made hideous with
horns and bells and shouts. In recognition
of the custom the police of this city have
refrained. under orders, from moIesting the
noise makers. Tuesday night the principal
streets Of the city were filled with bell
ringers and horn-biowers alone and in
groups, of all ages and both sexes, de-
termined upon splitting the ears of those
who tried to finish their shopping or walk

Democracy and Protection.

There is an outcry in democratic circles
because Mr. Robertson of Louisiana, who
voted for the Philippine tariff BILL Is
member Of the House democratic commit
tee to prepare a plan of party action. Says
the Philadelphia Record:
Representative Robertson did not scruple
to support a measure that violates demo-
cratic policy pursued for more than nun
dred years. Out upon such democracy
Mr. Robertson did not scruple to do In
this matter what he and his democratic
colleagues from Louisiana have done before
He voted for the protection Of sugar. That
was all that the Philippine tariff bill meant
to him. Democracy in Louisiana means
first of all sugar. The principal industry
OF the state must have protection. and II
it cannot be obtained from one party it
must be from the other. The Louisiana
democrats would prefer to obtain 1t from
their own party. But, failing that, they are
perfectly willing to accept it from the re-
publicans. In fact they have 80 often OBJ
tanned it from the republicans that they
feel entirely at ease in cooperating with
their opponents to that end. The Records
reproach viii not make them uncomfortable
for moment
A justsr cause for criticism Is that while
the Louisiana democrats are always alive
to the interests Of their own industry they
are willing to attack at the instance of
the free traders the interests of other sec
tions. They are for &. very low tariff on
everything but sugar Cotton manufac-
lures. iron manufactures, all else may be
brought to compete IN the American mar
ket with the manufactures of Europe, and
Louisiana will vote to let down the bars
To that extent-and that Is a very great
deal-they are democrats after the Records 8
own heart. But offer to touch sugar and
they are off on the hunt of a republican
alliance Immediately.
Still, the Record cannot afford to be scorn-
fUl, or impatient with the brethren. They
are valuable in presidential years. They
keep their state in line for the party ticket
and they are not quarrelsome at national
conventions about platforms. Free silver?
Certainly. Free trade? Certainly. Anti
Imperialism? Certainly. Anything and
everything, but understand that the duty
on sugar, come what may, must be kept at
figure guaranteeing the cane growers
handsome profit on their investments.
But did not a greater than Mr.. Rob
ertson take the ground that the tariff was
a local issue? And was not General Han
cocks proposition amply supported by the
scramble for protection by democratic
business men at the time the Gorman-Wil-
son tariff bill was passing through Con-
gress? Is It not late in the day to be
lectUring democrats in Congress or out for
taking the side of protection when their
own interests are at stake?

ed for the enjoyment Of the scenes along
the busy thoroughfares.
1t is far cry from the soft-voiced
Christmas waits of earlier times to the
boisterous noise makers of today. There
is no sentiment whatever in this present
custom. 1t bespeaks no gentleness of spirit,
no sort of helpfulness or cheer. Probably
not one out Of ten thousand of those who
Tuesday night made the air crack with hide
Gus sounds had the least glimmering Of an
idea of celebrating the occasion IN keeping
with It's character. There was no spirit
of greeting the great day about to dawn
The custom may be too deeply rooted for
immediate change, but at least attention
should be directed to the incongruity of the
spectacle. If people want to make noise
on Christmas eve why can they not Try
to sing In unison and so give at least the
semblance of respect for the spirit of the
time to their merry-making?

A Holiday Greeting.

Letter come from way out west.
Reckon twas about the best
Christmas gift that could be found
If you searched the country round.
"Wish you happiness anew,
Hope your hopes will all come true.
That is. In a general way,
All the letter had to say.
'Twan't no gift bought ready-made
In the regular course O. trade;
'Twan't no picture card an rhyme
Gotten up fur savin' time;
Didn't try to make expense
Stand for sympathy an sense.
'Twasn't right to hand an pat.
He that gives a gift like that
Has to take his pen an ink
And git down to work an think.
Word by word he wrote by hand
Sos to make me understand
There. was some one, far away,
Wtshin' me good cheer that day.
Lawyer said, once on a time,

It's intent, think, that lifts

The death Of Jennie June" Croly has
made less impression on the public than II
would had the event occurred twenty years
ago. Mrs. Croly was the pioneer newspa-
per woman OF this country, and ever took
an interest In affairs that were of partfcu-
lar interest to her sex. She founded Sorosis
and In many ways aided women in their in
tellectual pursuits. II there is any graft

Speaker Henderson Upheld.
From the Philadelphia Press.

Speaker Henderson deserves the thanks
of the country for his courage in ENFORCING
tho rule of the House which prohibits smok
Ing while the House Is In session. 1t has
been great discredtt to our national House
OF Representatives that smoking has been
carried on more or less while the House is
In session, and when the galleries have been
packed with visitors, large proportion of
whom were women. Speaker Henderson
does well In stopping that discourtesy.
