ColoradO's new Senator. Hon. Thomas
NJ Patterson of Denver arrived in Wash

He is man OF affairs. veteran editor.
greatly liked at home by men of all par
ties. and an indciatigable worker in The
up5uiiding of his city and State.
"Op the whole. said Senator Patterson.
Colorado may be described as prosper
Gus. In some respects there is particular
cause for feeling good over our condition.
The most satisfactory example l can cite
is the development of the beet s;isdr in
dusUy. What has been done in that line
in the past three years is simply mar
velous, and if we keep UP the present
rate, inside of ten years Colorado viii
rank with Louisiana as a sugar producer.
Three new factories are to be built short

The only cloud on our horizon is the
Smelter Trust, which is giving a great
deal of uneasiness to many miners. The
smelling plants are in an ironclad COM
bination and already the i'll effects of the
combine are manifest. They can exact
such heavy charges for treatment of ores
that but little profit is left TO the miner.
Fortunately they do not control the cyan

metals, which is q purely chemical meth

the trust"

While they possess little or no politi-
al interest. the river and harbor bills
siye the Senators and Representatives
more individual concern, perhaps. than
10 any other matters OF national legis-
lation. with very few exceptions they
represent constituencies anxious for public
improvements. and they deal with these
measures very largely with local consid-
erations in view.
Added interest is given to the subject
this year because the last Congress fail
ed to pass any such measure, Senator
Carter of Montana having talked into an
endless sleep a bill popularity supposed to
carry about $50, ,OOO, 600 for the betterment
Of national waterways and the improve
ment of harbors.
Much speculation has been INDUCED as
to the character Of the bill which prob
ably will be passed by the present Con-
gress. The opinion has been expressed,
and it has found its way into print, that
this years appropriations for the purpose
named. will not exceed S10.000,000 or
$i5 ,OC0. Geo. At this stage of the session
it is impossible for anyone to state, even
approximately. how much the bill VIII
call for. but it is entirely safe to say
that it will be much nearer S3p,oOoO 900
than $4,000 900. The very circumstance
that the bill failed last year will tend to
increase the demands for the present one.

Law in West NirSinia.

The people of West Virginia are
wrought up over the numerous crimes
perpetrated Of late in our State" said
Mr.. c. f. Luckett, OF Wheeling, at the
Raleigh.
Some are disposed TO lay much ,f the
blame at the door OF Governor White for
allowing the death sentence imposed on
large number OF men convicted OF capital
crimes to so uneyecuted. These convicted
murdercrs were to have been hanged long
ago, but since Governor White has occu-
pied the ezccutiye Office not one has ex-
plated his crimes on the gallows. This
is thought to AFFORD encouragement to an
element OF desperate and reckless char
acters. who icel that uD matter what they
do Ianient Governor stands between
them and the hangman. The critics OF the
Governor argue that he is making
the Law a farce. and some of his oppo-
nents insinuate that he is actuated by
desire to get the vote OF a certain class
which holds the balance OF power in West
Virginia elections"

For many years Cuba spilled her

aud heroic, but if fatcful complica-
tions had not arisen she must have

an Evidence of Progress.

There is no better evidence of the
healthy expansion of q community
than that found in the steady in
crease of its improved real estate.
More houses mean more people.
More business structures mean more
business. The additions to buildings
for homes and buildings for mercan-
tile purposes signify IL financial con
dition of the municipality which war
rants the expenditure of capital in
the directions indicated.
Capital is an almost perfect barom-
eter. 1t yields to the influence of
the certainty, and not the uncer-
tainty, with rare exceptions. When
it is ready to erect handsome and
serviceable buildings in q city the nee
essary deduction is that the city is
fiourishing and in fair way toward
realizing its best possibilities.
The new buildings to be assessed in
the city proper for the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1902, number 43O. and
are distributed as follows: In the
Northwest section, $50; Southwest,
50: Northeast, 1O5; Southeast, 1i3.
The aggregate value of these struc-
lures, which have either replaced ole,
ones or taken vacant sites, is $780,
400. divided as follows: Northwest,
$1,226,3 800: Southwest, $J4,300; North
east, S&0i. 800; Southeast, S119,300.
Besides the increase within the i'm
mediately local precincts, the growth
in the suburban sections has been al
most phenomenal. The figures show
that new buildings valued at 81 ,469,-
100 have been added to the various
subdivisions, making the grand total
S3,214, 100.
As a rule. mere figures are dry
reading, but statistics Of this nature.
conveying the significant proof of
growth accomplished and promised,
must be of keen interest to every
Washingtonian who knows that the
progress of the community means in
creased opportunities and benefits
for the active individual.

In Statunry Hall.

Ordinarily the Hall of Statuary is one
of the Icost interesting parts CT the Capt.
toll. Its historic memories. its remark
able acoustics, and its numerous statues
Of the nations most distinguished men,
all arrest the attention of the throngs Of
sightseers who daily visit the grand
building
For some time past this famous hall has
been far from alluring in its appearance
More accurately speaking, ii has scarcely
been visible at all. Workmen have been
engaged in putting on new roof of steel
in place of the old one; the statues have
been encased in boxes to keep them from
being soiied by dust and debris, and nearly
the entire apartment has been shut out
from view by canvas so arranged as to
form simply a passageway through it
from north to south.
To those who are familiar with the
place the contrast is almost painful; but
both they and the casual visitor will
be glad TO learn that the work is now
practically completed and that in a very
few days the old hall will resume its
wonted attractiyeness with all of it's in
ternal features essentially unchanged.
With the Hall of Statuary eliminated, the
Capitol seems to be scarcely itself.

RumOrs of Discord.

There have been intimations that Mr..
Burton, Chairman of the River and Har-
bor Committee, and Mr. Grosvenor.
Chairman of the Committee on Merchant
Marine and Fisheries, are not exactly in
accord with reference to the respective
merits OF the two bills, but there is no
reason to suppose that there is any direct
antagouism. Both are in favor of public
improvements on a generous SCALE and IL
any issue should arise it Is only likely to
be one resting upon the circumstance that
each chairman may regard his own meas
ure as of the greater merit and impor-
tance.
Still. 1t is clear that the greater the ag-
gregate of the appropriations to be made
the smaller is the sum likely to be as
signed to some particular account. and in
this way some friction may arise. 1t is
greatly to the advantage of both bills that
the Treasury is plethoric to an extent
never equaled before.

Father Crowley to Do renance.

Registered at the Ebbitt are Rev. Jere-
miah ]. Crowley and Rt. Rev. Bishop
Richard Scannell, of the Diocese of
Omaha. Father Crowley is the Catholic
priest who had charge of a church at
Oregon. ILL.,, and was excommunicated.
Before he can be restored to his former
status the order has gone forth that he
must do penance in some monastery. the
exact location of which is not known, but
presumably in the West Cardinal Mar
tinelli has stipulated that the penance
is TO be conducted under the supervision
Of Bishop Scannell, and the conditions
imposed make it impossible for Father
Crowley to reside hereafter within the
Archdiocese OF Chicago. At the conclu
sion CT the period of penance the ban
will be lifted, and some small church in
the West will be given Father Crowley.

New Year; New Washington.

Congress is an aggregation of in
teligent men chosen by the people
of the United States for the purpose
OF promoting the interests of the en-
tire country.
The National Capital is a small but
very important part 6T the American
domain. In broad sense, it belongs
as much to the citizen of Maine as
to the citizen of California.
Inductiye reasoning, therefore,
leads us to the inevitable conclusion
that in all parts of the country there
should be an effective sentiment for
the new Washington.
Congressman are human. Being
human, they can hardly escape the
good-resolution habit of the New
Year. In few days they will return
pleasantly interrupted by the holi-
day season. 1t is the hope that dur
ing their absence they have been

Paris: but we do think that there
was never more appropriate time
for congressman to put their shoul-

Oil Not neaumont's Only Boast.

The country about Beaumont is not
only rich in it's great oil wells, but before
their discovery it had other large sources
of wealth." said Mr.. n. T. Higgins, of
Galveston, at the Riggs.
Farmers in that region have found
that rice was crop that meant bigger
money than King Cotton, and there is a
large area OF country adapted to CROWN :
it. Besides, it is a splendid timber region,
and there is a heavy traffic in pine lum-
Der throughout all of southeastern Texas.
Beaumont has passed the mushroom stage,
and is now on a settled basis, with a
growth that is constant. 1t has more rich
men in it than any other town OF its size
in the South, and by no means did the
majority Of them make their money out
of petroleum"

Not Generally Understood.

There is much popular misrepresentation
respecting these river and harbor ~biils
Most people suppose that they are passed
annually, whereas they are biennial meas
ures, each Congress passing one only.
APain. the figures of given bill may con-
vey greatly exaggerated notion as to
the average amount thus to be expended
from year to year. These bills contain
two distinctive features. First, the actual
amount appropriated, and second, the au-
thorization OF contracts, the appropria-
tions to cover which may. be spread out
over a number of subsequent years.
To illustrate this it may be stated that
last years bill, as reported by the Senate
Committee on Commerce, appropriated
about twenty-one and half million dol
lars and provided for contracts amount
ing to twenty-eight and a half million.
Many of these contracts are for great
works which, when completed, will call
for little or no additional expenditures at
those points for many years. Such was
