Presidential "Feelers."

At the Tilden Club dinner in New York
last night Mr.. Cleveland said: MY days of
political activity are past, and 1 shall not
hereafter assume to participate in party
councils. 1 am absolutely content with re-
tirement.'' This was received with many
protestations Of No! no!'' by the company.
Did Mr.. Cleveland mean 1t? Or was he
merely throwing out "feelerr' He may
have meant it. And yet he is human. The
company treated 1t as q "feeler," and
promptly responded. All but Mr.. Hill 1t
Is safe to assume that hts voice was not
heard in that no. no. chorus.
In closing his speech Mr.. Hill said this:
The interests of the democracy Of New
York are those of the democracy Of every
other section of the country. The deTnoc-
racy of New York. with no selfish interests
to serve and ambitions to crafty, are
simply endeavoring TO strengthen our lines
for the contests of the future, and In this
necessary and patriotic work by which We
expect to promote the success of good gov
eminent in our state and nation, we invite
the cooperation of every man who believes
in the principles Of Jeffersonian democ-
racy."
No democrats In New York with ambitions
to crafty? What then becomes of the Hill
boom for the presidency? There is no men
ton of a mo- no. chorus here Did Mr.. Hills
'feeler" fail? The next issue of the Com
mcner ought to be an interesting one.

Presidents Arlington Speech.
From the London Spectator

President Roosevelt on May 30 attended
the annual festival of the veterans of the
army. and made most bold and striking
speech on the situation in the Philippines
As to the cruelties alleged against the SOL
diers. the President denied that they were
anything but exceptional. The provocation
has been terrible. the soldiers being con-
stantiy tortured and mutilated, and there
had been instances of vengeance which
must be severely punished; but the men
who condemned these crimes, and rightly
condemned them. condoned the much more
cruel lynching of negroes, in their own com
munitifs. Was all America responsible for
those crimes, or only the actual lynchers?
This sharp condemnation of an atrocious
practice tolerated In few states by opin-
ion will, 1t is said, cost the President thou
sands of votes: but that Is mistake 1t
will soothe the conscience of millions In the
north, while even in the south it Will in
crease respect for the speaker lynching
being one of those offenses which ever
those who practice them never attempt to
Justify. Nine Americans in ten. too are
delighted to believe that the head Of the
state Is a man who Is seeking something
higher than mob votes at his next election.

Arrest the Red Leaders.

II Is reported from Paterson. y. j., that
NacQUeen and another of the anarchist
leaders who participated in Wednesdays
outbreak have left the city but are wanted
by the Paterson police. The mayor, it is
stated wishes to ''interview' them. Unless
this word has deeper significance than
usual ii appears that there is no present
purpose on the part Of the local ruler to
proceed sharply against the leaders of the
mob. Yet that would seem to be his first
and most important duty, while keeping the
crowds quiet. There is probably no ques-
ton whatever that the authorities know
exactly who fomented Wednesdays trouble,
whose advice caused the mob to turn upon
the mills. who led the rioters. If these per-
sons are not dangerous criminals there
Is little justice or use in keeping a close
lock upon the jails. The reports of yester-
days doings in Paterson amply prove the
wisdom of a sharp move against the indi-
vidual leaders. They having fed perhaps

secure such revision of the laws both

ties TO proceed sweepingly against these
dangerous wretches. Congress has not done
what the people expected 1t to do in this
lire. Perhaps the Paterson outbreak, which
was evidently a mere utilization of the la
Dor troubles there. was encouraged by the
fact that practically no step has yet been
taken to apply the lesson learned so sadly
and at such heavy cost last September

The Union Station Site.

Yesterdays action by the House District
committee changes the aspect of the union
station project materially. The shifting of
the site from Massachusetts avenue to c
street involves a radical difference between
the two houses Of Congress and opens the
possibility OF a delaying misunderstanding
But when the situation is closely analyzed
there appears TO be no reason for serious
blockade in this important legislation
There are arguments in favor Of each site
and arguments conversely against each a
full, careful weighing of all factors should
lead 10 definite decision in favor Of one or
the other so IS 20 permit the immediate
beginning of the work.

willing TO engage in not only the elimina-

two laws which require the companies to
proceed with the former work. but on a
basis far less desirable than that afforded
by the pending bill. which proposes one in
stead of two establishments, clears the
city's most important park of its disfiguring
and bisecting obstruction and promises a
fine addition to the capitals monumental
structures.
The site named in the bill as passed by
the Senate has in its favor the fact that
thereby would Massachusetts avenue be

great railroad structure across the avenue
permitting its existence as thoroughfare
only by means of long tunnel. To this the
park commission objected and it's reasons
weighed sufficiently with the Senate to
cause the selection of the Massachusetts
avenue site practically without question.
On the other hand, the c street site has
the advantage of permitting street car &C
cess to the union station with little or no
change in the routes of the city lines. 1t
obyiates the necessity of great fill in front
of the station. involving an estimated ex-
pense of 81 .J0O.O 900 to the District and the
general government. These are the two
chief factors in favor of the more southerly
situation. incidentally 1t is urged that
monumental union station located on the
edge of Capitol Hill will present a finer
effect than one placed In the plain under
the northern crest OF the hill. Against this
argument Is brought the point that the
Massachusetts avenue site will permit the
station building to stand alone and to win
esthettc approval on It's own merits, while
the c street site will crowd it into such
proximity to the Capitol as to cause 1t to
sufrer In the comparison. There are some
advantages in the C street site in the work
ing out of the tunnel project. 1t probably
obviates the necessity of such a low track
approach from the north as to interfere
with the present grade of H street. an I'M
portant artery.
There is nothing prohibitive in the differ
enCes between the two plans. They are
details susceptible of settlement and COM
promise between them, or the absolute &C
ceptance by Congress of one or. the other
plan in its entirety, is demanded in the
interests of the capital city. Save for the
immediate individual interests of few citi-
zens the people of the District are today in
different to which of these two sites is
chosen, being anxious only that one of them
be named specifically and in mandatory
terms at this session so that no more
precious time may be wasted in reaching a
final settlement of the question.

A Solemn Afterthought.

IT'S summer; and the butterfly
Sips from the poisoning sweets,
The perfumed zephyr wandering by
Salutes each rose he meets.
IT'S summer; and the branching tree
Spreads with a sheltering care
Where birds pour out their melody
And squirrels have their lair.
IT'S summer; and the silvery stream
Its languid song doth sing;
And swaying grasses nod and dream,
Soothed by Its murmuring.
tbs summer, there can be no doubt.
You feel it everywhere.
It's wondrous fine to read about
But mighty hard to bear.

An Outgrown White House.

The repairs and improvements projected
| at the White House, 1t is announced, are
| based upon the principle that the original
plan of the Presidents home must not be
| disturbed or changed Scrupulous care is
| to be exercised. not merely to preserve the
outlines of the historic pile, but even to go
backward and to reproduce the original
plan of George Washington. 1t seems to be
assumed that popular sentiment demands
the preservation of this architectural relic
There is no assurance. however, that the
people of the United States do in fact de-
mand this course. If so. how was the senti-
ment ascertained? A few newspapers have
voiced 1t. but others, equally prominent and
representative, have urged a different pol
icy. Which sentiment is likely to appeal
more strongly to the people of this country
the preservation of an outgrown relic, or the
provision of a modern home for the Presi
dent. representative of the country's pro-
gress and culture?
The Star does not sympathize with the
proposition that the old White House should
be kept as the Presidents home. 1t might
properly be preserved as an appropriate
resting place for historic souvenirs. a sort
of patriotic museum. But the social needs
of the presidential household have now out
grown the old building, as attested by the
proposed exclusion of the offices and the
addition of the never completed features of
the original plan. There is no assurance
that with these additions to the space avail
able for social uses the building will long
remain adequate IN point of size. as 1t is
today assuredly Inadequate in point of ap
pearance.
1t must be remembered that the White
House, II reconstructed according to the
left by the builders for all time. IL the
preservation sentiment is to become perma
nent. That means that for one, two or
three hundred years. or even indefinitely
lOnger-for the republic Is necessarily to be
considered as perpetual-this structure will
remain the presidential home regardless Of
the growth of necessities. the change of
the preservation of the historic building
would be offended by new structure on the
same plans but a larger scale. What, then,
could be done if more room should become
as urgently required half century hence
as II is today?
The better plan would be to consider the
White House as an outgrown garment.
pride of the people in the external evidences
of national prestige. power and wealth, and
the household requirements of the occupant
of the building all demand that a modern
home be built upon a scale commensurate
with the office and a plan susceptible Of
later enlargements

County Committee to be held here to-
morrow for the purpose of consider
ing the answer Of the Addicks Coun.
ty committee accepting the proposal
of the Regulars for joint primaries.
Same of the aspEants for office among
the Regulars think that their har-
monY committee has been too slow
in the matter, and Fred Bach is agi-
tating a movement for the dismissal
Of the present committee and the APP
pointment Of a new one that will
show more life in getting together
with the Addicks men.
Bach and other Office hunters who
are with him want the primaries held
as soon as possible, while the Anti
Addicks men are not disposed to hur.
ry.
The anti-Addicks men say the
scheme for tomorrow is for Bach to
offer resolution calling for a new
committee.
Leaders of the DUPONT element be-
lieve they would have no trouble in
controlling the committee against
Bach and Quigley. They say the Reg
uIars will agree to the joint prima-
ries but that the primary election
may not be held until early in Octo-
Der.
The Addicks primaries to elect con-
vention delegates will be held tomor-
row,
