FOR A NEW HIGH SCHOOL
BUILDING.

The Democrat believes that the cit
liens of Mineral Point should vote
for the adoption OF the ordinance pro-
viding for the erection OF a new High
school building, The special election
to vote on this question will be held
tomorrow, Friday. 1t is claimed that
the sum named ($l7 ,O00) is insufficient
for the purpose for which it is asked;
but we fear that the defeat of the or
dinance would mean the setting aside
of the whole question for some time
to come. The Democrat believes that
the amount for a new school building
should have been $4,000 instead of
$l7 900; but the common council refus-
ed to give the people an opportunity
to vote for the larger sum. Although
new site for the proposed building
has been talked of by members of the
school board and other citizens, the
purchase of additional ground on
which to build will not, in all prob
ability, be deemed necessary. In our
present condition, we are greatly in
need of more school room, especially
for high school pupils, whom it is the
city's bounden duty to accommodate
The need is immediate and pressing
We hope that the citizens of Minera
Point will respond by voting to bono
the city for what should be the pride
of every progressive community - q
fine public school building.

clared to he Inadequate.
Mr.. r. B. Youngs Of 912 G street south
west recently asked the District Commits
sioners if the citizens and taxpayers of the
southwest section of the city have no
redress for what he declared to be the total
destruction of the usefulness to them of the
11th street railway. He said the people
have to suffer the inconvenience incident to
tine tracks of the railway in their streets.
but are given by the management Of the
company no adequate service in return.
Should the company run its cars from the
river front through to Florida avenue at in
tervalS of not more than ten minutes 1t
would, in Mr.. Youngs' opinion, get good
business and greatly accommodate its pa
irons But being cut in two at E and q
streets makes it practically useless. The
company" complained Mr.. Youngs,
changes its schedules so often and runs
its cars in such serpentine directions that
there is not one in a hundred of the citizens
OF the District who can tell what car to
take to reach any given point. OF course
this does not apply to the Capital Traction
Company, but to nearly all the other roads,
and l write to ask that some measure be
taken If possible to straighten out this dis
graceful tange of. our street railroads.
Mr.. Ioungs' complaint was investigated
by an inspector In the engineer department,
Mr.. A. l.. Thomas, who has reported to the
Commissioners that the line of cars men,
TONED has ten-minute schedule. This
schedule, he declares is practically kept
except at such times as the cars are de-
layed by trains at the railroad crossing at
Maryland avenue or by some other I'M
avodabie cause. AS to the proposed change
OF route Mr. Thomas believes that a great
er number of people are accommodated now
than would be if the route were changed.
Inc commissioners will inform Mr.

ANU SEMENTS.

I'll TROVATORE.'-The large audience
that braved the elements last night to hear
I'll Trovatore' sung at the New National
Theater by the Metropolitan Company was
a tribute to the never-wanfng attractive
ness of Verdfs most popular work. The
production. while satisfactory in the main,
was lacking in some details, and decided
air of carelessness was manifest through
out in the work of both principals and or
chestra. The chorus as usual, IS entirely
exempt from all criticism. 1t sang with
precision, force and intelligence. end Its
work strengthened the opinion advanced at
the beginning of the week that it is prob
ably the best trained body of singers that
has been heard in opera in Washington for
many years. The two choruses, the Anvil
and the on the concert grounds, showed
the evidences of thorOughneSS in training
and method. while the male portion az
quilted itself admirably IN the opening as
well as in the tower scene. OF the prlncl-
pals Louise Meisslinger, in the trying role
Of Azuceua. scored decided success. Her
work was conscientious and forcefui, While
her dramatic talents enabled her to give
the part most Intelligent reading. MISS
Messenger was twice brought before the
curtain to receive well-merited and hearty
applause. Barron Berthold sang MAURICE,
and while the part calls for lyric rather
than robust tenor, made favorable i'm
preston. Despite the lingering after-enects
Of severe cold Mr.. Berthod sang with
cearness and expression. Wlnfred Golt
had the thankless part Of the Count de
Luna, and while scarcely up to the dramatic
requirements of the role acquitted himself
creditably. E. N. Knight as Fernando ana
Della Nireu as Inez were also acceptable
Miss Grace Golden disappointed her many
friends in Washington, who claim close
acquaintance with her. by not appearing
in the role of Leonora on account Of a Sc
we're cold. Phoebe Strakosch substituted for
her, however. and gave complete satisfac-
ton to the music lovers present. Her voice
appeared to special advantage in the tower
scene, and she received generous applause.
The opera was staged in the careful manner
that has characterized all of the productions
of the company this week. The orchestra was
NOT up to the proper standard, and the care
lessness in execution and lack of discipline
was SO manifest to mar TO degree the
pleasure of those who heard the opera

Women in Politics,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The widespread regret for Queen Victoria
is conclusive answer to the objections
commonly made against women in poll
tics" Every argument that can be urged
against allowing woman to be q voter
applies with ten-fold force against allow
ing her to be queen.
1t Is claimed that the ballot would take
too much Of her time from domestic duties
Victoria has always had to give far
larger amount Of time to public business
than the average voter.
Is it urged that suffrage would bring with
1t too much publicity? What is the pub
licity involved in casting vote, compared
to 1.-The fierce light that beats upon a
throne?' Is it said that woman would lose
her social influence if they could hold po-
litical office? During her whole reign Vic
toria has had more social influence than
any other person in England, precisely be-
cause she held the highest political office
in the kingdom. Is It prophesied that If
women take an interest In politics the hu-
man race will become extinct? Victoria
leaves seventy-one living descendants. Is
it said that contact with public affairs must
be demoraizing to women? Victoria has
been in contact with public affairs during
a time covering the terms of seventeen
Presidents Of the United States, yet she
was neither demoralized nor made less
womanly.
w
er said at Cooper Institute:
Every reason urged against a larger
liberty for woman Is illustrously confuted
by the dignity, purity and womanly pro-
priety with which Victoria stands before
her empire and before the world. For ages
woman has been advanced to honor, in
fluence. office and the highest public trusts,
If she will accept them in tristocratic
forms. She may be an abbess, countess,
a queen. 1t is only woman without a title
that must have no privileges. With a
crown on her brow, she may enter parlia-
ments and govern empires. With only her
own simple virtues, she may not lift up her
hand to cast a vote. Now, as Christian
democrat, l assert for her every right and
every privilege that aristocracy accords
her. That which is good enough for a
queen is not too good for my wife. That
which is noble in a duchess is honorable
in my daughter
American men in growing numbers are
coming to take this view, and four states
in the Union have already adopted the
principle

APPEAL TO THE SENATE.
Comm issiOners Ask for Amendments
to Appropriation Bill.

The District appropriation bill providing
for the expenses of the municipality during
the fiscal year ending June 80, 1902. having
passed the House. 1t is understood to be the
intention Of the Commissioners to ask the
Senate to so amend it as to provide the
full amount of their estimates The amount
of these estimates was, including those for
the water department s9,0S0. 703.94. This
sum, while considerably larger that ever
before asked for, only represented, as the
Commissioners explained to the House COM
lnittee on appropriations. what they then
believed and what they still believe should
be appropriated as they asked only for
such an amount as in their opinion should
be appropriated to meet the actual and
pressing needs of the District, as they eX-
fst today and as many of them have eX-
listed for years.
The fact that the House, in its wisdom,
did not grant the Commissioners all they
asked for, not by nearly a million and a
half, has not convinced the Commissioners
that they Were wrong in asking for all
their estimates called for Indeed, while
gratified to know that the bill as it passed
the House is more than 100000 larger
than the current one, they are still of the
opinion that every penny they asked the
House to appropriate they should, in all
fairness to the District and its people, ask
the Senate to give. Whether the Senate
will do this is, of course, impossible to
learn.
