THE GOVERNORS SPEECH

In his speech at the opera house last
Friday, Governor Mcbride drew a vivid
picture of the prostitution of the public
service and legislators of this state by
the railroad despots, and OF those des-
pots year after year piling upon the in
dustries of this state the weight of ex-
tortionate freight rates. No feature of
the governors picture was more inn
pressive in its expression of political
vice than his description of the buc-
cancer army of railroad lobbyists, de-
scending upon the capitol in 1899 and
by their engines of persuasion, seducing
to their purposes one legislator after
another from his allegiance to the peo-
pie until there were enough of them in
their embraces to again defeat the strug-
giles of this commonwealth to hurl from
its shoulders the railroad despotism that
vrings its withers.
What must have been the feelings of
Ira P. Englehart, the ring candidate of
impressive appearance" as from his
seat upon the same platform with the
governor, he looked upon one after
another of the features of this picture,
drawn by the governor, and there
recognized himself? AS he recognized
himself, and knew that the audience
must recognize him, in the governors
picture of the legislator, seduced from
his trust to the embraces of the lob
byists as in his minds eye he saw and
knew the audience saw, the knees of his
own political integrity, in 1899, at
Olympia, quaking, bending, finally fall
ing and prostrating him at the feet of
railroad influence; as he saw himself
and knew the audience must see him in
their minds eyes, vending his way this
fall after his nomination, to that mecca

what then we ask, must have been his
feelings as he saw these pictures of him.

Four years ago, Mr.. Englehart made
\ campaign of promises. This year he
is making campaign of excuses for
breaking those promises. Two years ago
he appeared so afraid of his record of
broken promises, that he did not rum
for reelection. In the picturesque po-
lynomial nomenclature of the American
Indians, he would be named: "The Man
Afraid.of- His-Record."

Commenting further on this suggestion, the
report says:
"As part of through parkway, the val
ley offers an opportunity for the drive to
pass under Connecticut avenue with its
heavy and swift suburban electric cars, and
to rise through the opener and broader
stretch to the west reaching by a slight
turn on an easy grade one of the spurs of
the high ridge in which the western portion
of the District eliminates From this point,
al an elevation of $40 feet, Is to be obtained
another extensive eastern view down the
valley and over Rock Creek Park to Sol

marked by a terrace concourse, espe-
cially as the character of the parkway
would change at this point from the in
formal type appropriate in the wooded val
ley to a formal avenue across the high
plateau, the terrace thus making strong
terminus for the latter and empha sizing the
drop into the valley. The formal section
would be a widening of Yuma street, laid
out but not constructed and would lead
directly to a circle at the junction of Ne
braska avenue and Wisconsin avenue, COM
monty known as Tenley road. within 1000
feet of the proposed Fort Reno Park the

broad thoroughfare in front of the Capitol
and an organic connection between the
Capitol grounds and the mall system. thus
restoring the relations originally intended.
Brilliantly illuminated and embellished
with fountains, this square may be COM
pared both in extent and in treatment with
the Place de la Concorde in Paris.
by reason of it's commanding location
this square offers exceptional opportunity
for monumental treatment. and as its chief
decoration the commission urge the Grant
memorial. Associated with the Grant
should be the figures of his two great lieu
tenants, Sherman and Sheridan, standing
independently, yet so as to form a single
composition. Placing the defenders of the
Union at the point of convergence of the

Having considered the Capitol grounds
and their related areas as the base of the
composition. we next come to the treatment
of that great stretch of land laid out as the
grand approach to the Capitol In order
to restore the relation which was intended
to exist between the Capitol and the monu-
ment, the plan of the commission provides
that B street north be extended eastward

and considered in relation to the proposed
new holdings such a connection would form
one of the links binding the eastern and
the western parks into comprehensive
system.
Starting from the Piney Branch en-
trance of Rock Creek Park at 18th street.
the line would continue for some distance
in the valley of Piney Branch, thus TAX
ing passages of natural valley scenery in
the District. This leads to the grounds of
the Municipal Hospital, which will always
be maintained in park-lke and attractive
fashion. Rising from the valley by an
easy grade along the southerly side OF the
hospital grounds, which the parkway taxi
ings would round out and complete, the
route would enter formal plaza to be
created at the 7th street entrance to the
hospital, where there will be a conveyance
of streets, according to the adopted high
way plan, from eight different directions.
Between this point and the Soldiers Home
1t would be easy to FORM by widening

boulevard 1900 feet in length, terminated
on the west by the new hospital buildings

park is dwelt upon. The pressing sanitary
problem Is simply to do away with the low,
amphibious areas which are alternately
flooded and exposed, and to convert them
either into deep water or into dry land; but
incidentally the improvements may be made
to provide increased commercial water
frontage while part of 9the reclaimed
lands may be used asa park.
The plans for the improvement of the
Anacostia river with a view to CONNER
cial occupancy below Benning bridge pre-
pared by Col. Allen and submitted to Con-
gress in 1898 are approved by the COM
mission with slight notifications. The prin-
ciple of treatment suggested by the COM
mission Is to exclude the Potomac floods
by a dam at the head of the commercial
channel thus avoiding the necessity for
raising the large area bf meadows now sub
ject to occasional overflow. Between the
dam and the District line practically all
the flats now covered at ordinary high wa
ter would be dredged out to a depth Of
twelve feet providing a great basin or Sc
ries of basins of deep. clean water, the
dredged material going to supply the addi-
tional filling needed on the commercial Sec
ton Such fragments of flats as were not
thus excavated would be raised by filing
above ordinary highwater mark. but the
greater part of the meadows. with their
numerous and beautiful clumps Of trees
would not be raised, thus avoiding filing
and preserving q great deal of charming
natural scenery. The result of the pro-
posed treatment would be great lake sur

From the London Globe.
A Chinese paper published in Pekin has
obtained the following details relative to
the deaths Of the high officials Chauchu-
chiau, Yung- -nien, and Prince Chwang, who
committed suicide on command OF the en-
peror. 1t is impossible to give the fun re-
port, as the details of the actual suicides
are given with true Chinese barbarity and
unadorned lucidity. The whole account.
however, bears the stamp of truth, and the
statement Of the Chinese court that the
three officials had paid the penalty for their
crimes, hitherto improved. may hereby be
considered as confirmed. The report runs;
Chauchuchiau ate gold leaf, which is the
distinguished method of taking ones life

not by poisoning, as is generally assumed.
but by asphyxia, as the thin gold leaves
stick in the air passages. Hoping against
hope however, that the empress would
have mercy on him, he took too little, and,
as he still lived when the time prescribed
had elapsed, he took opium and other means
to effectuate his death. His religion forbade
him to do this by injuring his body In any
way.

in prison in Singan-fu, and continually up
braided Prince Ching "for leaving him IN
the lurch." He sufocated himself with
earth before the imperial decree. so his
death was kept hidden some days till the
decree was published. Prince Tuan antici-

MIR. AND MRS. MCGUIRE.

In the fifty-eighth congress there will probably be no member who owes so much to his wife as Hon. E. $. Mc- Guire, the delegate-elect from Okla homa territory. The only important is sue of the campaign was statehood, and on that issue Mcclure was nominated by the republicans and elected. The issue won, and the general belief throughout Oklahoma is that Mcclure will never have the opportunity to take the seat to which he has been elected. The reason for this is that the present delegate to congress, Hon. Dennis T. Flynn, has promised the people to se- cure statehood for them this winter, and Flynn has a record for keeping his promises that makes the people believs firmly that he will be successful.

A TIMELY SUGGESTION.

This is the season of the year when the prudent and careful housewife re- plenishes her supply of Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It is certain to be needed before the winter is over. and results are much more prompt and sat isfactory when it is kept at hand and given as soon as the cold is contracted and before it has become settled in the system In almost every instance a se- were cold may be war ded off by talk ing this remedy freely as soon as the first indication of the cold appears. There is no danger in giving it to chil- dren for it contains no harmful sub stance. It is pleasant to take-both adults and children like it. Buy it and you will get the best. It always cures.
