MINISTER GIVING DANCES Mai y
residents of Highland, near Poughkeep.
sic, N. Y, are annoyed at the doings
Of Rev. DR.. Nikelus, rector OF the Holy
Trinity Episcopal Church, an English
man, with advanced ideas regarding the
proptiety Of dances and other secular
diversions. When he first arrived at
Highland be found that the Holy Trim
Icy Church was without rectory epd
be forthwith caused the erection Of
handsome cottage to pay for which o
mortgage was placed on the church
property, To raise funds for the pay
ment OF the mortgage the clergyman is
now giving a series OF dances. In con-
spicuous places through the village
bills we're posted which read: dance
-Uuder the auspices OF the Church
Club, AZ the residence OF Mrs. Davis,
Highland Landing. Good wsxed door
for dancing. A select affair under home
sanction" The dance, as advertised,
came off several days ago and yielded q
net profit for the clergyman OF $l6.
Last Sunday Rev. Mr.. Smith, OF the
Methodist Church, In his sermon sar-
oasticslly observed that prayer meet
ing was far, better than dance. The
next dance Ia advertised for Thursday
evening ct Fester's Hall, where affairs
will be on a more extended scale. Rev.
Mr.. Nikelus says 1t is simply ques'
ton OF money to support the church.

The River Front.

The notice served yesterday upon occu-
pants Of the river front property claimed
by the United States to show cause why
they should not be compelled to vacate
brings one step nearer completion the
tedious process Of reclaiming the 'city's
water front from its present disreputable
condition 1t was thought that sufficient
legislation had been enacted to perfect the
title OF the government In these areas, but
Unforeseen complications arose to require
additional provisions of law, which were
supplied just before the adjournment of
Congress. and now the way seems again
clear to the assumption of title and pos
session by the United States. Until the full
legal process has been completed, the capt.
taIs water front will remain a disgrace.
During all these years of delay, uncer-
tainty and clouded title. neither side could
safely go forward with improvements. The
holders of the land were not Justified in
constructing costly docks and wharf build
fngs, nor was the government, on its side.
permitted by the circumstances to expend
anything toward the reclamation of the
eastern banks. Between these two condi-
'1ons the wharves have fallen into decay

Yesterdays collision on the Mt Vernon
road must be thoroughly investigated by
both the public and the railroad authorities
The traffic on the line is heavy and the
danger of accidents occurring is excep-
ionally great with only single-track sys-
tenn in service. 1t is evident from what Is
already known of yesterdays disaster that
the turnout Is not to be relied upon under
the existing regulations. 1t it poor make
shift at best and calls for the exercise Of
exceptional care by the employees. Yet at
least one of the cars yesterday was travel
ing at very high rate of speed when ap-
preaching the switch and had such head
way that the motorman could not check it
in time to prevent crash. If orders were
being violated the guilty men should be
punished If orders are loosely framed, to
permit the car crews to use their judg-
ment at the switches the management of
the road should be held to account by the
state. The District has keen interest in
this matter, for 1t furnishes a large propor-
ton of the roads patronage from it's perma-
nent population and its guests. When the
facts have been sifted to the bottom 1t will
probably be found that the only sure rem
edy to prevent repetitions of this accident Is
to require the company to adopt double
track system throughout it's route.

Mr. GOrman's Ambition.

1t is intimated in certain quarters that
Mr., German is looking higher than the
Senate. His activity in Maryland is ex-
planned by the assertion that he has his
eyes on the White House. Encouraged as
Mr.. Hill IS, and as others are by the
failure Of Mr. Bryan to score on his second
trial, Mr.. German counts the Nebraskan
out of the running for 1904 and thinks his
party'S nomination for the presidency
within his own reach. His present maneu-
Yers, therefore. are with the object in view
of securing substantial standing in that
race. He desires to present himself not
only as Marylands candidate but as the
man who has made the state absolutely
safe again for the party's nominee
This story is calculated to add to the in
terest in next years race In MARYLAND
The German men in particular will be
spurred to all the greater energy by the
assurance that they are now operating on
the skirmish line Of 1904: that the result in
the state may determine the party's for
tunes two years later in the national field
Every one will be adjured to do his level
pest to land Mr.. German in the presidential
chair
W hatever Mr.. Germans real ambition
may be, he does not reason out well as a.
--1isNi HdSiA4lIiy ne NOulu De wholly
unacceptable to the Bryanites, and he
would not bring TO the party upon
any lines of proposed reorganization the
strength that would be essential to success
He has played too long and too openly re-
tween the two factions of his party to
possess any great power with either He
was candidate for his party's presidan-
tlaI nomination in 1892, but developed no
strength Those who desired another strad-
die on the tariff question with suuint to-
ward protection, refused to take him I'D.
While the free traders of course. would
not listen to the bare suggestion of his
name The result was that after Mr.. Whit
ney appeared in Chicago with his little
black handbag the German boom and the
Brice boom collapsed completely, and only
the Hill boom survived to give even the
promise of contest
NO, Mr.. German will hardly be able To
capitalize his latest trick at so high a
hgure- He will realize handsomely out of

aim He likes the Senate. The work suits
him, and his pleasant. personal address and
cat-1ooted methods are seryiceable in a

and In the main agreeably. And just now
there Is an opening on his side there for a
man of his experience and usefulness. He

and the river front has become discredit-
able to the community.
1t Is. of course. uncertain how long the
eviction process will require. The govern
ment has formally turned the custody of
the land thus to be secured over to the Dis
trict Commissioners, save a small strip for
a wharf for its own use. There is no policy
in view, as far as known. as to the ulti-
mate treatment of the wharves. 1t is ss-
sumed that the frontage will be used, as
now, for the landing of passenger steamers
and trading ships. The river commerce,
however. is so small that it can be provided
for in conjunction with some compreh en-
sive plan of river-front improvement, such
as has been admirably developed In several
of the European cities, calculated greatly
to enhance the beauty of the capital. 1t
might be well, therefore, for this prospec-
tive addition to the public space to be con-
sidered by the expert commission now in
session under the auspices of the Senate
District committee, preparing a plan of
park development. For with the court de-
crees fully executed in accordance with
the decisions already rendered and the
legislation enacted. the river front will
form virtual extension of the parking
system. If the government should choose so
to consider 1t. The opportunity Is thus at
hand for line of improvement which, if
carried out In high spirit of capital-mak-
ing, will add to the attractiveness and per-
manent adornment of Washington as have
few of the government enterprises in the
past

Lord Lapsdowne on the Treaty.

Lord Lansdowne's reply in the case of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty throws no new light
on the canal subject. The unofficial state
ment bearing the point which appeared
in print two weeks ago proves to have been
accurate and the comments based on that
will bear repetition. The case is not closed.
England expresses a desire for a settle
ment. and that feeling is reciprocated In
this country. Why not a settlement then?
Each government is better advised as to
the attitude of the other than ever before,
and if neither has as yet shown its full
hand neither is much in the dark as to
what the other is holding back.
England insists a that the Clayton-Bul-
wer treaty cannot be abrogated by the
United States acting alone. The opposite
opinion is held by many leading Senators
and other Americans of note, and public
opinion in the United States would indorse
a denunciation of that treaty by Congress
if all other efforts to get at the canal
should fail. Public opinion, however, pre-
fers an amicable adjustment of the diff
Guilty with England.
(2) England fears that the authority to
use the canal by the United States for de-
fensive purposes in time OF war might be
abused. This government might act upon
mere suspicion or rumor, and make trouble
for everybody without just cause. The
United States will insist on being the Judge
of such matters, and offers it's sanity as
guaranty that 1t is not likely to cut its
throat. or make foolish use of it's own. 1t
Is not so easily frightened, and it claims
to be a fair judge OF clouds in the sky. 1t
knows a storm when it sees one, and has
ordinary means of determining the velocity
of the wind.
80 England insists on bringing in the
other powers. The United States will on no
account agree to that. 1t is a new fea-
ture. The Clayton Bulwer treaty does not
admit them, and not one of them has asked
to he admitted. Not one, so far as known,
desires to be admitted. The matter is rec
ognized one for settlement between Eng
land and the United States and that is the
true conception. What they agree to will
be accepted by the other powers beyond a
doubt.
Unless we are mistaken over here, Eng
land wants quid pro quo. She is playing
for a settlement of all her differences with
the United States, and the canal question:
she thinks, will stand her in hand in the
general summing up. The United States, 1t
Is safe to assume, will not seek to evade
any presentation of any legitimate ques-
ton But the first of all considerations is
an American canal, constructed with Amer
lean capital, primarily for the worlds ser
vice, but never in any circumstances to
become source of danger or weakness to
the United States in time of war.
