The Municipal Building.

Leaving TO experts the question of the ar
tistic merits of the design for the new mu-
niclpal building which was yesterday pro-
claimed as having been accepted by the
officials sitting as a board of award, the
District is at once concerned in an effort to
secure sufficient appropriation from Con-
gress for the proper execution of the plans.
The elevation is pleasing to the eye. The
general style is suited to the site The
present tendency among the designers of
public structures is recognized. A building
OF this character, II constructed of stone,
will be an ornament to Pennsylvania ave-
nue. and to the whole capital and fttingly
serve as the home OF one OF the most i'm
portant municipal governments In the
world.
But Ii should be built of stone. The de-
sign, 1t appears cannot be executed at the
cost set by the appropriation in any more
expensive material than brick. 1t Is incon-
ceivable that Congress. from a false sense
of economy. will impose such building
upon the District. The handsomest design
In the world would lose its character If 1t
found its expression limited by the product
OF the kiln.
This structure Is to stand for many years.
1t is designed as the permanent home of
the District government Its site Is con-
spicuous and it's relation To the great public
buildings of the government is such to
throw il into close contrast with them. The
addition of half million to the appropria-
ton will break neither of the capital part
ners. Poor as Congress has caused the Dis
trict 10 be through unlawful drafts upon
Its treasury for street extensions wholly at
the Districts expense. the capital will glad
ly agree TO pay its half Of this extra amount
for the sake of securing proper interpre-
tation of the architects plans.
Should the Commissioners appeal to Con-
gress for the added amount they will voice
the solid sentiment OF the District and will
doubtless awaken favorable response at
the Capitol Such action should be prompt
ly taken and II possible the enlargement of
the appropriation should be accomplished
by special bill instead OF the appropria-
tLon bill II by that means time can be
saved. The final acceptance OF the plans
and the award of contracts should not be
postponed longer than is necessary in view
OF the urgent need to get the limit raised

extreme described in this accusation. Wien
the common enemy appears with arms In
his hands domestic differences should cease,
and ordinarily they do cease. There was
never presented In any country finer spec
tacle than that presented in this country
when Spain made 1t plain that war must
come. Partisanship disappeared as II by
magic. Democrats were among the most
enthusiastic of the supporters of the repub-
lican administration. Sectionalism found
voice. Among the first men to offer their
swords to the President-himself an ex- Union
soldier-were ex-confederates of distinction,
and their services were gladly accepted
The whole people responded in the most
loyal spirit, and the fight was won in ninety
days.
This Is the record with which the world
is familiar, and of which this country Is
and ought to be, very proud. We would be
sorry indeed to see 1t marred by dlsclo-
sure that at such time there were men SO
bent upon private aims as to lend them
selves even indirectly to the purposes OF
the enemy. Every ship then was necessary
to the carrying forward Of the American
program. We were short, indeed. of the
necessary number. and were obliged to go
into the foreign market and buy. But in
good time we went to sea In excellent
shape and everything turned out success
fully with us afoat
Labor's legitimate aims have the SYM
pathy of the people at large, and they have
been advanced very much under competent
leadership during the past few years. But
they can never be advanced at the expense
of the country's safety, when menaced
either by foreign foe or by domestic dis
order Whenever force is necessary In
either case labor should gladly help to sup

A Predicament.

An every now an then she gives me a re-

I haven't any taste at all fur rovin' and fur
strife;

my life.

that they would divulge secrets of social
betterment until then unknown, the meet
Ing was as good as brfm full of instruction,
because II left all such agitatfng and dis
satisfying expectations withered and gone
The distinguished men who assembled on
this occasion did not expect to formulate
before adjourning plan of action which
both capital and labor would Instantly ac-
cept, and by putting into operation revolu-
tionize business and hurry forward a COM
mereial millennium Discussion was the
object of the meeting. and the discussion
was Illuminating. Mr.. Hanna's remarks
were to the point. Mr. Gompers spoke
plainly, and gave his hearers some i'm
portant information. The remarks OF
Charles Francis Adams showed that he had
been giving a good deal of thought to the
subject, and Archbishop Ireland asked sew
eral questions which with the answers they
elected were altogether pertinent. There
was not a member of the Federation, we
may be sure, who did not benefit by the
meeting, not only in the way Of informa-
ton received, but in a strengthened hope
for the future.
The fact Is that the great cause of capital
and labor is just now beginning to receive
the proper attention. The public has just
awakened to the fact of its tremendous
lie Is aroused, there are many remedies pro-
posed for Ills which are but imperfectly I'M
derstood Quacks, like the poor, we have
always with US. and they will have their
say though the heavens fall. But the
quacks are not going to obscure this case.
There are too many men of sane thought
and capacity giving attention to it: and
sooner or later their recommendations will
be made and adopted
The Civic Federation has not dissolved.
Interest in political, and commercial. and
religious circles in the effecting of better
understanding between capital and labor
whereby the welfare Of both may be adj
vanced is not abating. Capital is perfect
ing its organization, and labor was never
so well organized before The country's
prosperity depends upon workable ar
rangement between those two powerful
forces which will keep them friendly and
together. Discord between them means
danger. Open warfare means disaster.

question go on. Good in some form Is GER

A Serious Charge Denied.

Officers of the International Association
or Machinists have promptly denied the
charge that members of that organization
at the beginning of the war with Spain
tried to cripple the cruiser Alabama and
the transport Thomas, then undergoing re-
pairs at the Cramp shipyard. The charge
was very serious one. and startled the
country. 1t deserved the prompt attention
it has received. The public VIII be glad ito

The Civic Federation.
The New York Sun says:

The meeting OF the Civic Federation.
which closed on Wednesday after a three
days session. was inquest ionably of very
great. perhaps the very greatest, public
value, arising not from any new sugges-
ton for the attainment of greater Industrial
peace. for nothing Of the kind developed,
but from the fact that the debate disclosed
the debaters to be without any scheme
which they would substitute for that now

which business Is carried on in this country
were so cleared of the rubbish of accumu-
lated sentiment and delusion and deception
that the force that Is rightfuliy theirs must
necessarily be felt again.
In saying that the discussion has been
of public benefit we would have 1t under
stood that none OF that accrues to labor or
capital. They know their business and

thing for the more advantageous manage
ment of it. But to a. public impressed with

Leona Gordon, of Jefferson City,
who died last January at SANTA
rum in st. Louis. Two sons are liv-
ing, Henry Gordon and Garrett Peck.
1t was noted by Mr.. Peck's friends
that he grieved continuously over
the death of his wife, and his ill
health dates back to about that time.
Besides the two bottles of poison
found on his person, there was a new
razor IN his vest pocket. Other
pockets contained letters from his
sons and other persons. In his purse
was about $500 in money.
Mr.. Peck was good business man
and had built up good business.
He was at one time member of the
Columbia city council, a member
of the Columbia school board, and
for many years secretary of the Col
umbia Cemetery Association. He
was good citizen, kind husband, a
devoted father and an honorable,
high minded man.
He was a charter member of the
Maccabees lodge at this place, and
held a policy for $1,000.
