formed in the future. Mr.. Bryan's purpose
in coming is not known, but he will be
closely scanned"
AS may be seen at glance, this win
rot eonduce to harmony. And so we have
the question, Does Mr.. Mclean desire, or
will he accept, harmony, with Mr.. Bryan
a factor In the arrangement? 1t is
very important question. Ohio is a very
important state 1t is the voting home of
Mr.. Mclean. and he is. all things consid-
cred, the most powerful member of his
party doing business in that commonwealth.
He owns and conducts the leading news
paper. He has had large experience in po-
litical affairs, and his lieutenants drilled
by him and devoted to his fortunes. may
be found distributed all along the line from
Lake Erie to the Ohio river. If therefore
Mr.. Mclean would prefer to conduct po-
litical affairs In Ohio without Mr.. Bryan's
Interference. what will this confabulation
with Col. Kilbourne-a defeated candidate
without committee at his back-amount
to?
The Mclean men. we see by the dis
patch, are tired of the pretensions Of GER
tain local leaders, and take the position
that they should get down and scratch
gravel with the rest Of the chickens" The
figure of speech is homely but expressive.
And out of it grows this question: Is not
that expected also of Mr.. Bryan? If since
their defeat these local Buckeye statesmen
should carry themselves with less asser-
ton, and resume the habits of the rank and
file, why. after two most pronounced de-
feats, should not Mr.. Bryan return to the
ranks and crow less Justify? Why should
he longer enact the role of cock Of the
walk?
And still again. If harmony Is so diff
cult and remote in Ohio, where may it be
found? Mr.. Bryan is scheduled to go from
Ohio to New York, but he will not be
travelling in the direction Of harmony. Mr..
McLean's tactics are being repeated in the
empire state With the eclipse of Richard
Croker has come the demand for the elm
ination of everything smacking of Bryanism
in the New York party organization. The
local leaders are dining together and re-
calling the days of Tilden, who was a
sound money man. and In 1875 laid out the
soft money contingent of the party as cold
ss a wedge. Harmony is the cry, but as
yet there Is no harmonious response.

The Code Amendments.

Elsewhere In The Star today will be
found a comprehensive statement by Mr..
R Ross Perry of the changes which the
new code of District laws effected in the old
system. and the amendments which have
been proposed by the Bar Association to
the instrument as it was enacted. Mr..
Perry has been closely identified with the
movement to secure a code. having served
rs chairman of the Board of Trade code
committee and as a member Of the Bar AS
ISOLATION committee which revised Judge
Cox's draft and afterward lent material aid
in the propaganda to secure the legislation.
He is thoroughly familiar with the pro-
visions Of the code and with its shOrtcom-
tngs. As he well says in the course Of his
statement 1t was inevitable that mistakes
should occur in the work, notwithstanding
the high capacity and the familiarity with
the local legal system Of the able jurist
who undertook the task. But whatever it's
failings. the code was notable and valu-
able achievement, and it will probably soon
be realized by the community that great
advance was secured in the matter OF ad-
justing the District laws to modern con-
ditions when the code. imperfect though 1t
was, was placed on the statute books.
OF the amendments which have already
been proposed, one class demands imme-
diate consideration for the sake Of the ef-
fective working of the laws In their every
day application to the affairs Of the Dis
trict. These were presented to the atten-
tion of Congress In ample season to secure
enactment before the code went into effect.
Had they been then adopted there would
be little need now for urgent demands for
the consideration of the remaining changes.
Code amendment. therefore. should be
divided into two lines of endeavor. first, to
secure with the least possible delay the modi-
fcations demanded by the existing emer
gencies. and then to press steadily upon the
attention Of Congress the miscellaneous.
though important, items Of change which
experience suggests as the practical work.
ing Of the code reveals weaknesses or de-
f1ciencies. Now that the substantial foun-
dation has been secured In the code itself,
1t should not be difficult, once the imme
diate pressing emergencies are provided for,
to gradually trim the system into ideal
shape.

The Personal Baggage Question

From the New York Times.
Secretary Gage, in his magazine article,
SO destructively answered by Mr.. Whit
ance to passengers was entirely tustifable
provided 1t resulted in a more thorough en-
forcement Of the law. It Is much to be
doubted whether any real Improvement Of
the treatment Of passengers can be OBJ
tained under the existing law. But It Is
sufficient objection to q revenue law that
It's enforcement demands that travellers
shall be subjected to q cruel and barbarous
ordeal. the like of which is not employed In
any other civilized country. for the purpose
Of producing pitiful revenue which the
government does not need Even now, Con-
gress is at work devising ways and means
of reducing the revenue. What better de-
vice could 1t adopt than to repeal that part
Investigations?
Let any passenger who attempts to bring
In goods for sale as personal baggage be
dealt with as severely as Congress pleases
But let purchases Of wearing apparel and
personal effects abroad be passed free. when
there is NO suspicion that they are intended
for sale. At the bottom of the outrageous
law under which these inQuisitions are re-
quired Is the notion so naively expressed
by the egregious Spaulding, the notion that
for an American to make purchases abroad
for his personal use Is an "offense" As
nobody but Spaulding and the domestic
tradesmen who consider themselves de-
frauded by purchases abroad take this
and administered in the interest Of this
latter class, 1t is high time 1t was modified
according to the usages OF civilized coun-
tries.

The g.. A. r. Encampment.

The preliminary negotiations between the
citizens committee and the representatives
Of the Grand Army Of the Republic having
been successfully concluded, nothing now
stands In the way Of the holding Of the
encampment Of that organization In this
city next October. There seems ample as
surance that the funds requisite for the
adequate performance Of the city's part OF
the program will be forthcoming, while the
differences which for time prevailed as to
the degree Of responsibility the District
should assume have been amicably and
eQuitably settled. Thus the matter is on
solid basis and there Is reason to expect
that the occasion will be made notable by
the completeness OF the preparations and
by the attendance upon the encampment.
Washington was proud In 1892 to entertain
the q. A. R.. that being the first time in
the history OF the organization that the
capital had been chosen for the annual
meeting. 1t spent much energy and money
upon the entertainment Of the veterans,
and suffered severely In purse subsequent
ly because Of the infraction Of the organic
act which Congress committed In provid-
ing for the entertainment fund. But 1t
was glad nevertheless that the old SOL
diers had come and in such large num-
years they are to return. They will be
here perhaps in somewhat diminished force,
but attracted with equal patriotic zeal to
the seat Of the government which they de-
Tended forty years ago. The committee
in charge Of the encampment on behalf OF
the citizens Is composed Of some OF the
Districts most energetic men and the COM
plete success Of the affair cannot now be
held In any doubt.

The House and Trusts.

In letter to constituent Speaker Hen
derson represents the House, in the matter
OF Cuba. as resisting the sugar trust and
subsidized press. But before he can nope
to have that view of the situation accepted
anc the House installed in she public con-
fidence as the implacable foe of trusts, two
important points must be disposed OF.
d The press is in full agreement with
the President and the Secretary of war on
the subject of trade relations with CuDa-
There is not a particle of dlf1erence De
tween the arguments presented by those
two officials and the arguments presented
by the newspapers. Nobody is attacking
not openly at least-the President ana sec
rotary Root because of their attitude In
the premises The leaders of the House,
with the Speaker at their head, have dis
cussed the situation with the President as
though they conceded there were reason
ably two sides to the question Why then
not grant that the newspapers have found
their way to an opinion uEaided by trust
frfuences? The President and the Secre-
tary of War are pretty good company to be
found in.
c) Why is the House making such a
specially of the sugar trust at this time?
Why should it not square off and have
well enough to light the sugar trust when
ever IL shows its head Extensively. But Mr..
Babcock is trying to bring on an engage
ment with the steel trust, which is having
IT'S own way about as tyrannically as ever
the sugar trust has had. All he asks Is
fair field and no favor. If the House
leaders will but keep the ring he will do
the rest. But opportunity is denied him.
Every avenue has so far been closed to
him. Unless appearances are very decep-
tive one of the reasons for passing the
war tax repeal bill by the House was to
add to the difficulties in the way OF re-
ducing taxation in any other direction. A
seventy -million-dollar cut Is well calculated
If approved by he Senate to stop all talk
about reducing revenues from any sources
not included in that bill.
1t comes then TO this: If the newspapers
advocating reciprocity with Cuba were en-
tirely without character they would be safe
In this controversy by reason. of the excel
lent company they are keeping. But the
House as the enemy Of trusts cannot as the
cese now stands read it's title clear. Let
1t continue it's vigilance against the sugar
trust. but at the same time satisfy the
country that it is not serving the ends or
the steel trust
