Handsome Designs Demanded.


1t would be incongruous and unsightly to
have any but the most refined and artistic
structure in this prominent place in a dis
trict coniprehended in the city's new plans
for the. Improvement Of its surroundings.
Instead Of being designed on the classic
lines of the arch which Is admitted to be
the most artistic Of plans for bridges. the
design already submitted by representa-
tive Of the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
is exceedingly plain. providing only the
bare necessity for carrying railroad trains.
The design and type Of the railroad bridge
must control the design and type of the
highway bridge. which is to be constructed
within short distance of the former. And
with little additional cost the lines Of the
artistic There Is no reason to believe.
however that the question Of cost affects
the Pennsylvania railroad. which has al
ways shown itself to be progressive. and a
further evidence of the fact that the COM
pany has not always spared expense In the
building Of its bridges Is the handsome and
costly new structure which It has erected
at Rockville, Pa. Mr.. Elihu Root. Secre-
tary Of War, has written q letter to Presa-
dent Cassett Of the Pennsylvania road in
which he calls attention to the opinions Of
the board OF engineers and the chief Of en-
gineers Of the United States army that the
bridge should be built on more artistic lines
With the necessity Of the situation from an
artistic standpoint alone and the forces
that are being brought to bear, It would
seem that the desired change in plans
would be promptly made.

The strong and growing tendency In the

themselves beautiful and artistic. 10 give
to their streets, their great buildings ana
their nublic works the refinement and the
symmetrical elegance of the finest ard most
classic cities of the old world, is worthy
evidence that Americans are progressing
not only in commercial lines, but In the
finer things Of the world as well. 1t SHOWS
that even in the tremendous EFFORT toward

Inartistic and Awkward Plans.

The plans which have already been made
for the bridge and railroad are on inartistic
and awkward lines, the same style which
has been used for half a century in the
backwoods districts of the country-and
this for the artery which will carry hum
dreds of thousands of people every year
from the capital to one Of the most his
toric spots Of the cOuntry-the home OF
Washington. Besides. the railroad bridge is
the only connecting link through Washing

tween S5OOOOOO and SIS, 100000 on the pro-
posed bridge from the city Of Washington
to Arlington cemetery. Yet this bridge Will
be seen or traversed by only small num-
Der compared to those who visit the sacred
and historic Mount Vernon. And for the
latter 1t has been proposed to build struc-
lures such as are seen in the barren dis
tricts of the wilderness! 1t Is necessary,
also that these bridges be made upon the
most artistic lines. not only for themselves.
but because they are to be an important
feature in that part Of the city In which
much has already been spent toward ar

The fight for the speakership of the
republican house is practically at an end
although the friends of MIR. Dalzell, OF
Pennsylvania, yet show signs OF life.
Recently Representative Babcock, who
is the chairman of the republican con-
gressional committee, withdrew and the
Wisconsin delegation, of which he is a
member, pledged its support to Joseph
Il. Cannon, Of Illinois. 1t is announced
that Mr.. Cannon has tie support Of
Mark Hanna. Mr.. Littlefeld, of Maine,
has practically withdrawn from the con-
test. Mr.. Sherman, of New York, an.
nounced that he is not candidate. Mr..
Serene Payne, of New York, while being
undoubtedly in a receptive mood, die
rlaims any intention to 60 in search Of
the prize. At the present writing it
cannot be doubted that Mr.. Cannon has
decidedly the best OF the race and it will
not be in the least surprising should the
Illinois statesman become the nominee
of the republican caucus by reclamation.

RIGHT, YOU ARE.

Armed with the indomi able right
eousness of its cause, the treasury sur
plus goes ruthlessly on to demonstrate
the vicious nature of the United States

standing the abandonment Of many in
ternal revenue taxes that were not bur.
densome, it appears from Secretary
Shaw's report, printed yesterday. that

ed surplus OF 80! 100000. This years
will be $43 900, 900, and next years $751;
600, 90. There are two things congress
will not do with this surplus. One is to
apply it to internal Improvements like
waterways, public buildings and arid
public lands. No other argument is
needed to demonstrate the fitness of fed
eral assumption of these undertakings
than the fact that while the general gov.
eminent has money to burn, derived
under our system from the fertile sources
of internal and customs revenue, our
state and municipal governments every
where, restricted to direct taxation, are
grooming under heavy burdens The
other thing congress will not do with the
surplus il to reduce it by withdrawal of
unnecessary protective duties which
build up trusts on the one hand, while
on the other hand they despoil the con-
Stunning masses. Nothing could more
conclusively demonstrate tie hold of the
protected trusts on congress than the
&C, ion of the last session in reduti ing
taxes on liquors and tobacco rather than
disturb the tariff under which salt,
paper and similar trusts continue to
plunder the people.-Oregonian.

DIRECT ELECTION OF SENATORS

The two seats in the senate for each
state have come to be the most highly
coveted prizes of success in American
public life. The constitution directs
that senators shall be chosen by the
state legislatures. The candidacy OF am
bilious and powerful men for seats in the
senate does not, as a rule, await the
assembling OF the state lawmaklng
bodies. Since the legislatures have to
choose the senators, the would.be sena-
tors make it their business to choose
the legislatures.
The whole public life of not few OF
our states within the past few years has
been demoralized by the struggle for
seats in the senate at Washington. This
clause in the constitution, which specifies
that the senators shall be chosen by the
legislatures OF the states, has abundantly
proven itself an unwise and improper
restriction. The states should have
been left to choose their senators as
they like.
Some states for a long time, in that
case, might have preferred the present
plan of election by the two branches OF
the legislature; but most of the states,
and in our opinion all Of them-as the
result of an unrestricted opportunity to
test different methods-would have come
at last to the plan OF direct popular elec'
ton of senators.
Every year brings fresh confirmation
of the desrability of such change, and
upon few subjects are the people of the
United States so nearly agreed. On
question of this kind the one set of men
wholly incapable of expressing wise or
valuable judgment are the senators
themselves, who are the beneficiaries Of
the existing system.
The members of the other house, on
tie other hand, have no reason for ex-
pressing biased judgment; and when
they vote-as they have done, with en-.
tire, or practical, unanimity-in favor Of
an amendment to the constitution allow
ng the states to elect their senators by
popular vote, nothing could be in more
shockingly bad taste than the determine
ton of senators themselves to prevent
the question from coming before the
states for an expression of final judg-
ment.
1t is not necessary, of course, to change
the existing system in those states which
prefer to keep it; but liberty ought to be
given to every state to elect its senators
by direct vote, as it elects its governor,
il it so chooses. Delaware remains to-
day without any representation in the
senate at all, as the result of legislative
deadlock produced by the aggressive de-
termination OF one rich man to fight his
way into the upper house Of congress-

THE FINANCIAL SITUATION.

That very conservative paper, the New
York Evening Pest quotes and empha.
sizes the warning uttered by Comptroller
kidgeley at the bankers convention re-
Gently held at New Orleans. The
comptroller says:
"In spite of all this we cannot disguise
the fact that with reserves running down
not only in the reserve cities, but in all
the banks of the country, the situation
is serious and requires close attention
and careful han ling"
This from democrat would sound like
gloomy prediction, and he would be
called calamity bowler, but coming
from republican prominently connected
with the administration it is merely
what the republican papers call slime
ly warming" and the Post regrets that it
was not uttered months ago. If such
conditions occurred under democratic
administration the party in power would
be blamed for the situation, but as it is
the republican editors attribute it to
conditions which the party cannot con-
troll. The republicans have so fallen into
the habit of claiming credit for every.
thing that is good and sinking response
bility for everything unfavorable that
this new instance will excite no surprise.
