The PhilippiueS,

In the matter of the Philippines we are
making progress even in Congress. Note
the temper of the debate in the House yes
terday as compared with that Of a year
ago when the same general subject was up.
1t is a good sign. 1t shows that we are
coming to that point where talk about
abandoning the archipelago Will be confined
altogether to that small coterie OF Bosto-
mans who with no responsibilities Of public
station resting on their shoulders and no
regulations for practical views to protect,
may indulge themselves to their hearts
content In all sorts of deliverances. But
men in office and responsible for their
words and votes. whether they favored or
opposed as an original proposition the re-
tention OF the Philippines, are now discuss
Ing our possession of the islands as respects
the best policy to be pursued in their devel-
opment. We are there. and our duty to the
Filipinos and to ourselves is the question Of
moment.

Steel Wagon Tracks.

The other day in New York experiments
were made in the efficiency OF a steel track
for wagons and trucks in city traffic. The
track consists of parallel rails, with a fiat
bearing surface and quarter-inch edges to
hold the wheels in position. A city ash
cart weighing 300 pounds empty was usee
for the test. being hauled by laborers. At
the cart end of the hauling rope was placed
short Ice balance. capable of weighing up
to 500 pounds. After the apparatus had
been adjusted 1t was found that the men
had to pull 200 pounds to start the cart and
about 100 pounds to keep 1t under way up
the street grade. Then the cart was moved
over to the granite blocks and the test was
resumed. The starting pull could not De
measured because the balance ran to the
limit and stopped and consequently the pull
was an unknown advance over 500 pounds.
The pull required to keep 1t moving up the
grade varied from 40 to 300 pounds, ac-
cording to the unevenness in the pavement,
the average being estimated at 100 pounds.
Those In charge OF the tests for the De-
partment Of Agriculture. which Is interested
in the betterment Of both city and country
roads, declared that the track showed q
lessening OF about 20 per cent In the trac-

Arbitration the Best Remedy.


A submission of the claims against Ven
ezuela to arbitration is demanded by all
the conditions of the controversy. The
claims themselves are monetary and sus-
ceptible of the adjustment of an umpire.
Continued hostilities on the part of the al
lies can only result in charging the de-
mands while diminishing Venezuela's abili-
ty to meet them.
1t Is therefore gratifying to note that the
arbitration idea gains ground. President
Castro has vested Minister Bowen with full
powers as negotiator, and his offers of ar
bItration are favorably received at Lon
DON Berlin and Rome. Secretary Hay has
received partial responses from those capt.
tails indicating that the principle of arbitra-
ton is acceptable. subject to certain safe
guards and conditions. The sole issue now
at stake apparently, outside of the question
of the tribunal before which the case shall
be heard, relates to VeneZuela's ability TO
satisfy the claims after Judgment is rem
dered. The United States cannot safely I'M
dertake to guarantee payment. 1t would
be unwise for this government to under
write any of the claims. either by the ten
der of direct pledge to the European pow
ers or by extending assurance of security to
private bankers who may undertake to float
a loan for Venezuela.
But this matter is not prohibitively diff
cult of solution. Venezuelan customs would
suffice in the course of a short time to sat-
isfy the European claims 1t would be easy
to devise a system of International super
vision over the customs houses of that
state to guarantee a sufficient monthly in
stallment to meet the claims. In short, no
other pledge can be given or asked.
There is only one international court
which should be considered In this connec-
ton, The Hague tribunal. That court re-
Gently rendered Judgment which has been
accepted by the parties in dispute as salts
factory and just. 1t was constituted
pressly to adjudicate all such difficulties,
and 1t would be a strange anomaly if the
powers were to turn their backs upon their
own creation in the first notwithstanding
emergency.
Minister Bowen should not be asked. nor
should he be permitted, to assume the DIFF
ficult role of arbitrator. He has acted thus
far in the premises In manner to check
the fastening war rush of the allies and to
modify the position Of the president of
Venezuela. He has preserved all the rights
of the United States and has contributed
materially to the present situation. favor
ing the submission OF the case to an UNI
pire. But his function should end with the
extension of his good Offices There will
be plenty of hard work for him to do at
Caracas If the dispute be arbitrated, and
he could not well be spared from that post
to come here or to any other capital to sit
as a judge. Neither is 1t probable that he
would be acceptable to Germany and Eng
land. The whole purpose of The Hague
court is to afford tribunal against which
no objections can be raised, and the decision
of which will reflect more than the views
OF a single individual

The Municipal Building Site.

The difficulty which has arisen as to the
size of the municipal building site might
easily be adjusted if Congress were to ADOPT
comprehensive plan with regard to the
great Mall-avenue triangle, which has been
dedicated by common consent to public
building purposes 1t is highly desirable
that this space be considered as whole,
without reference to the street plans. 1t
would be undesirable to fill 1t up eventually
with buildings each running to the edge
of block and fronting evenly on street on
all four sides. By disregarding the street
lines and emplacing a building with view
to its proper park setting the site and the
plan for the structure can in every case be
adjusted to produce an ideal result.
The commission in charge of the munich
pal building asks Congress for an additional
million dollars and for permission to ex-
tend the site beyond the south bounding
street and into the square beyond. This is
a move in the right direction. But If the
permission Is granted 1t will afford no guar
antee that when the government takes the
triangular square lying west and north of
the municipal building and the rectangular
square lying directly west it will not fill
each OF those with masonry from building
line to building line. Approaching the mat
building site Is needed. the government Is
likely to continue this practice OF choosing
single squares. and thus giving the great
area a rectangular blocky appearance
when It is in the course of years completely
occupied.
Several years ago The Star. in discussing
this question. indicated that the immediate
condemnation of all the lands lying within
the Mall-ayenue triangle would not cost
more than 100000. The government, If
1t felt unable to stand such drain upon
It's treasury, could pursue the policy of
taking the land, after a general condemna-
ton by piecemeal anneXations. whenever
a building CHANGED to be needed meanwhile
permitting present occupants to remain at
a rental which would far more than pay
the interest on lie investment
But whether the government first creates
a park as whole and then utiliZes such of
its space as may later be needed for build
ing sites, or selects the sites from the land
as it now stands, the principle of park
treatment of the whole area should be es-
tablished The, buildings should be ap-
preached by means of driveways rather
than mere thoroughfare streets. Between
the buildings should extend spaces suitable
for artistic development to enhance the
architectural beauties Of the structures.
There should be no crowding or budding to-
gether. If this policy be adopted now, with
the municipal building as a type of the
structures later to be emplaced within this
area, there need never be difficulties over
the sufficiency Of particular sites, such as
have now arisen in the case Of the new
city hall.

difficulty, and that neither contemplates
taking a step that would bring It into con-
fict with us on that score Even Italy,
which enters the field a little late, is cor
rectly instructed on the point. No matter
how expensive they may find 1t to collect
their debts by the means they have adopted.
these governments well understand that
under no circumstances are they to change
or extend their operations so as to violate
the integrity Of Venezuelan territory.
But. 1t would appear from this dispatch.
that we have now to explain the doctrine
to the Spanish American states. The con-
fusion on the subject has crossed the water.
The Costa Ricans are criticising us because
we did not forbid the movement undertaken
by these European powers. And yet 1t Is
a matter of record that we have collected
debts ourselves down in that quarter by
show of force. The Monroe doctrine could
not possibly apply in such case as was
this of Venezuela at the time the British
and German ships appeared off the coast
there. The declared purpose was not the
acquisition of territory, but the collection
of debts. Had President Castro paid the
amounts demanded. or given the proper
assurances for future payment, the display
of force would have ceased Instantly.
Some of our Central and South American
friends trifie unreasonable. NOW ana
then we hear the complaint that the United
States is arrogant; that 1t assumes too
much: that Its own purposes are none too
friendly toward its southern neighbors.
And now a complaint is made because we
do not stand guard over everybody on this
hemisphere, as against every European
power. and regardless of quarrels or Of
fenses. Surely, when the present shindy Is
over the Monroe doctrine will need precious
little explanation in any quarter where
there is a sincere desire to understand it.

The Northwest and the Tariff.

The Milwaukee Free Press, a republican
newspaper, makes the following observa-
tion:
1T looks much as II the Bourbons in the

enough-aloners. are willing to risk things
and would prefer a general mash-up in the
course of two or four years to changing the

is at present printed in the tariff law
1t does look a little that way. Undoubt-
eddy strong influence is at work to pre-
vent any action on the tariff question.
either at this session OF Congress, or at the
first session of the next Congress. The
watch is held on the present session, and
great emphasis laid on the very small
allowance of time. We are told that every
hour will be necessary for the routine bust
ness, and that 1t would really prejudice the
tariff question to take 1t up simply for dis
cussion.
The new Congress. We are then reminded.
will assemble practically on the eve of the
next presidential election. Both parties will
be maneuvering for position, and as the re-
publican party is in power 1t will be obliged
TO move with extreme caution. Already,
the stand-patters assert, the business inter-
ests a little nervous because of the
Presidents attitude toward the trusts
ment to revise the tariff. even in a limited
way, and democratic success in November
1904. will be assured.
But 1t is for papers like the Milwaukee
Free Press, published in a section where
republican majorities are large and tariff
revision sentiment is strong, to keep up
their agitation and bring all possible in
fluence to bear on local congressional del
egations There is a full year in which
this may be done. Illinois Is to carry off
the prize OF the next speakership, and Illi-
nois shares in the demand made with such
earnestness by Wisconsin. Minnesota, Iowa,
and the Dakotas for lower rates on such
articles as no longer need the high rates
OF the Dingley law. The press of Chicago
voices this demand, and the pressure neces-
sary TO insure compliance must come from
the country west of the Alleghenies.
The road for the friends of revision Is
going TO be a hard one 10 travel. but no one
who has set out should on that account
turn back. Every day adds to the force of
their argument. 1t is the man who treats
the Dinghy bill as sacrosanct and not the
man who insists that 1t should be revised
In those cases where 1t has done all that
originally was asked of 1t. from whom in

ton after the start, and much more than
that at the start.
City drivers know well enough the ad-
vantage Of steel rails. such as the car
tracks AFFORD. over the rough street sur
faces. Whether it will be found practicable
to lay tracks for wagon hauling on streets
not occupied by car lines remains Tor
municipal authorities to determine. In
cities like Washington, where the streets
are almost entirely paved with asphalt.
there Is little demand for such a device.
But in cities whose business streets are
given over largely to truckage and heavy
deliveries and are paved with blocks or
cobbles the steel track would unquestion-
ably prove a boon, provided the raised
edges did not act upon light carriage wheels
as did the old-fashioned car tracks.

ment of Commerce was forwarded today by
the decision of the House committee to re-
port the Senate bill favorably. The meas
ure has the hearty endorsement Of the
President and other officers of the govern

Congress. The bureaus named for inclu-
sion are all directly concerned in lines Of
work which affect the commercial interests
of the country. and it will be greatly to the
advantage of those interests and to the end
of smoother departmental administration If
they are brought under a single head.
