The genealogical bureau of the De-
partment of Agriculture this season
made the experiment of shipping Geor-
gia peaches in cold storage to London.
The first shipment was made about
four weeks ago, and the second last
Monday. Returns for the first ship
ment have not yet been received, but
the department has been advised that
the fruit reached it's destination in
first-class condition and found itself
alone in the markets. This is taken
to mean that high prices we're secured.
If it should be found practicable to
place Georgia peaches. in prime condi-
ton, in the London market, a new and
profitable source of income would be
opened UP TO the Georgia producers,
and the Londoners would be afforded
the opportunity of INDUCING in the
most delightful fruit it was ever their
good fortune to taste.

Agitation for a convention to amend the
Constitution of the United States plays
around the proposition to elect senators by
a direct vote of the people The proposition
is deservedly very popular one. But
since it was introduced a fairly good sub
stitute has been found. and much of what
is desired in the way of preventing legisla-
tive delays and scandals In senatorial cleo
tions has been secured in several of the
states.
This Is the nomination of the candidat,
for senator by the convention which nomi
mates the state ticket In that way the
candidates for the legislature are instructed
as to senator, and when the legislature
meets 1t has but to obey the voice of the
people as expressed at the polls. Ohio is on
the eve of illustrating for the second time
how well this arrangement works The re-
publican state convention last summer in
structed for Mr.. Foraker for senator. and
the republicans carried the day at the polls
All that remains to be done in the premises
therefore is for the legislature to elect Mr..
Foraker and this duty win be discharged.
The member OF that body who should vio-
late his Instructions would expose himself
to the gravest suspicious. and bring his pub
Tic career to an ingiorious conclusion. And

Canal LeXislatiOn.

The Panama canal proposition was not
in shape which entitled it to moments
consideration on the part of the House. if
that consideration was to involve any delay
in the Houses action. The House has pro-
nounced In the ratio of five to three I'M
qualifiedly and absolutely in favor of the
Nicaragua route and against further in
vestigatlon and delay. It has also declared
with practical unanimity in favor of the
immediate construction of an isthmian
canal, and in this verdict it unquestionably
voices the sentiment of the American peo-
pie. Whatever slight delay may be re-
quired by senator's in order that Coom-
bias prospective canal proposal may be
presented and examined, it is to be assumed
that the Senate will act with such rea-
sonable expedition as to enable Congress
at this session to meet without fail the de-
mand of the American people that a be-
ginning be promptly made upon the con-
struction of an isthmian canal. re-,

The Carnegie Institution.

The process Of shaping the organiZa ton
which is to utilize Mr.. Carnegies great
gift to the cause of national education is
developing satisfactorily. A list of distin-
gushod citizens and high officials has been
published, the trustees of the institution
to be established under the terms of the
Carnegie endowment, insurng that not only
will the institution be wisely admins
tered. but that it will partake largely of a
semi-offlcial character.
The declaration of the intentions of the
founder, as set forth in statement issued
TO the public. indicates that there is no pur-
pose to create here a great university re-
quiring a large physical plant and compet-
ing more or less directly with similar estab-
iishments elsewhere. This is to be "uni-
yersity' only to the extent that it will
afford instruction in many lines and con-
serve the forces of the establishments of
the primary branches of instruction. 1t
will serve as a great educational clearing
house. by utilizing and adding to the facili-
ties of all and supplementing them with the
extraordinary scientific. professional and
economic equipment of the government,
here and elsewhere.
Endowed with an income of half million
annually, this great school will encourage
ItSedftH pIONiullS INSTRUCTORS
where needed, presumably aiding students
whose capacity for thought and work eX-
ceeds their means, and rendering more ac
cessble the governments great collections
and it's laboratories and work rooms for
the purpose of educational training. The
publications of this institution alone will
justify the enterprise, for it is apparently
assured that none but the very highest
standards will be set in every line of the
institutions work An encouraging feature
of the project is that it is endorsed by lead
ing educators of the country, who thereby
demonstrate their breadth of view and
capacity to see the opportunity for not only
advancing the national standards cf
thought, but incidentally enlarging the use
fuiress of their own respective institu-
tions. Every American college and unver-
sity will become the more effective in shap-
ing the scholarship of the people because Of
this great force centered in the institution
at Washington.
An educational endowment of this size
and governed by such conditions must
prove, if wisely administered, of incacula-
Bile benefit to the nation. Mr.. Carnegie has
proved his great wisdom in choosing such a
medium of expressing his philanthropy
The libraries scattered throughout the
country, the results of his munificence will
teach millions of people to read and to
think. The institution here centered, closely
connected with the very machinery of the
government, will enable untold numbers OF
them to reach otherwise unattainab1e
heights of productive scholarship and in
Fentive capacity.

fore, every disposition in the District to
keep the total assessment (already very
high when compared with that of other
cities) from becoming too large for its
needs, and the constant effort of the tax
payers is to secure. each working sel1sciy
for himself, the lowest assessment compati-
Bile with the general requirements. The ul-
innate result of this tendency, with an effl-
cient and honest agency of assessment and
equalization. Is to harmonise assessed val
ues and to raise the required revenue with
a minimum Of injustice and of friction.
Senator Mcmillan suggests that the real
estate Of the District should be assessed
at It's cash value. There Is city in the
United States where this Is done. WASH
irgton's assessment is already higher than
that in most other cities as was clearly
shown by the census figures of ten years
ago, and as will doubtless be shown afresh
by the statistics of the latest census. There
Is no need to assess for taxation purposes
at the full cash value, save as the COM
munity may need to raise an extraordinary
sum. The assessment is fixed with rela-
tion to two facts. first, the tax rate, AMI
second the total of revenue to be required.
That amount, which. when multiplied by
the tax-rate will give the necessary reve-
nue.. is to be assessed upon all the tax
payers equitably in proportion to the value
of their taxable property. If this assess
ment is with all the taxpayers the same
percentage of the value of their property,
it makes no difference whether the assess
mert is a half or third or all of the cash
value of that property.

IL his constituents were of the more robust
sort he might find it advisable not to re-
turn home.
The states then already have IT in their
power to take the popular sentiment in a
very good way on the subject of United
States senators. In the absence of q con-
stitutional amendment calling for direct
vote, why not in every state nominate the
senator In state convention. and leave it to
the people at the polls to decide the matter
In voting for the legislative candidates?
That the old plan of electing senator's is
defective, and has led in many instances
to results both regrettabie and scandalous
is beyond dispute; and that in some way 1t
should be changed is equally plain. 1t is
pointed out, however. that If a convention
to amend the Constitution should be called
It's labors could not be prescribed to it.
ana many subjects might be introduced.
A proposition to disfranchise the negroes
led to the calling of convention in vir-
g1nia to revise the state constitution, and
the result after six months is q sort of
chaos Everybody seems lost in the wilder
ness OF suggestions on every subject, and
members are calling to one another In most
pathetic strains for information as to a
path out of the woods. The way of the
reformer Is getting to be almost as hard as
that of the transgressor.

Senator McMillan's letter to the Commits
si0ners III relation TO the assessment OF the
real estate values of the District opens n
line of thought Of first Importance in con-
uection with the local taxation There are
doubtless inequalities in the assessment. as
Senator Mcmillan suggests and there must
be constant effort toward equalizing them.
10 bring all the property in the District
To more harmonious level of valuation
FOR tax purposes There are perhaps large
tracts of valuable lands, really urban in
character. lying close to the city limits
which are still rated as agricultural lands.
These should be brought to a more eauit-
able classification and assessment in order
10 bear their proper share of the tax bur-
den At the same time there are presum-
ably instances of excessive assessment
within the urban area which might Justly
be reduced to the general level
The point which must not be forgotten In
this connection is that the present ma
chinery for the assessment of the real
estate values is available for Just this
process of equalization. The board is per-
manent, Its work is continuous and AL
though the specific assessments are made
only triennially the readjustments are in
course of consideration during the interim

appropriates for the maintenance Of the

isiature by what precise process this half

that purpose. The tax rate Is fixed at a
definite maximum figure and the valuation
Is established accordingly. the desire being
to raise at that rate enough money to meet
the annual drafts upon the local asu.y.
IL the assessment is too high in he :-ggre-
gate the chances are that more money will
be raised than Congress will permit the
District to spend. on the half and half fa-
sis; or else that Congress will, as In recent
instances. violate the organic act by re-
quiring the District to pay out of its own
pocket, from Its surplus of funds for some

For what reaSon?'
Too Superior.

There is girl who lives near by;
A wondrous cultured, lass.
In every art she loves to try
Her neighbors to surpass
On the piano morn and night
She plays selections quaint,
And l am told 'tis her delight
TO broider and to paint.
Her name is often seen upon
Some literary page:
And she can tell of what was done
Back in classic age.
Such admiration does she claim
1t makes her sisters wroth,
And yet about this wondrous flame
There fingers ne'er a moth.
For young men are a timid sort,
And fear that they by chance
If they should go to pay their court
Would show their ignorance
And set those lovely lips a-curl
And plunge them deep in woe;
So, tbs the plain old-fashioned girl
That mostly gets a beau.
