The Hoar Resolution.

Mr. Hoar as appears from his speech eX-
planning his Philippine resolution, has in
mind the reopening of the whole Philippine
question. He would go back to the begin
ming. and Investigate every charge that
has been lodged against his countrymen in
their dealings with the Filipinos since
Dewey began preparations at Hong Kong
to capture or destroy the Spanish fleet
He seems to be convinced himself that his
countrymen are not only in the wrong bus
wickedly in the wrong, and he desires a
record made up which will fix that view of
the matter firmly in history.
There are two wings of the anti-imperial-
ist contingent One is led by Mr.. Hoar.
and. as just stated, it represents the propo-
sition that the Filipinos have the right of
the contention. AguinaldO-busy at the
time taking messages by wireless teleg-
r&phy from Liberty-was tricked by Dewey
and others. and. driven by a sense of
wrongs received took the field against per-
fidious allies in the name of outraged honor.
God help him. ne could do no less, The
other contingent would deal with the prob
lem as an error on the part of Mr.. McKin-
ley and his advisers. The administration
acted unwiseIy in taking over the archipel-
ago from Spain. 1t should have ordered
the fleet home as soon as hostilities were
suspended with peace in view. This con-
tingent asks only that withdraw as
soon as possible. and leave the Filpinos
to work out their own destiny" whatever
that may mean. 1t seeks to fix the stigma
OF dishonor upon no American commander
aAoat or ashore in all of that difficult busi
ness.
The investigation. if ordered. will fail of
its purpose. Now that the heat of the
original controversy has in so many quar-
ters cooled it is impossible for even his
most enthusiastic American admirers to in
vest Aguinaldo with the virtues of George
Washington. That Asiatic mountebank
stands pretty accurately measured today.
y shrewd and an INSCRIPTIONS schemer;
laying wires at one tirne for an uprising
which would place the knife of the as
sassin at the throat of every American in
Manila, and at another time planning and
executing the assassination of one of his
principal lieutenants whom he suspected of
disloyalty, he has wound up in Jail. and.
according to all accounts. is a contented
prisoner through fear that if released he
might be aSSassinated himself by some of
his former followers. If there is anything
OF the spirit of George Washington in that
fellow il escapes the average American ap-
probation. Still. if the Senate is disposed
to indulge Mr. Hoar there is enough humor
i'm the country to follow with some interest
the effort 10 crown an oriental adventurer
with a wreath of glory.

The Hall of Records.

A strong argument in favor of the prompt
adoption of the park commissions general
plan is disclosed in connection with the eff
forts to secure provision for hall of rec
Ords for the government. The Senate Tues
day adopted a resolution providing for
the organization of a joint congressional
committee to choose plat of ground for
this purpose. The advocacy of particular
sites has already begun, with a considera-
bic range in the suggestions. 1t has been
considered assured for several years that
when this building was at last erected it
should be somewhere on the mall-avenue
triangle, and square of ground within
that area has now been proposed for the
purpose But according to reports the
treasury officials are opposed to taking it
and suggest in its place a square west of
the Corcoran Art Gallery. 1t is to be hoped
that the joint committee will be guided in
the main in this matter by the recommen-
cations of the park commission, to prevent
further chance selections, out of harmony
with the general scheme of building loca-
tton. If any one square within the triangle
Is too small then appears the force of the
argument for the government to pre-empt
this entire space and to lay if off in build
ing sites without reference to the quad
idHSuIdF arrangement OF streets. so as to
give each structure its proper proportion of
ground with suitable approaches The
park commission specifically mentions the
nall Of records as appropriate for Ioca-
tion within this space. along with the mu-
nicipal building, the arrnory convention hall
and the modern market. Any departure
from this plan. at the very outset of the
enterprise to remedy the Ills which the Slip
shod capital making of the past has pro-
duced. would be discouraging In the .x-
treme to those who hope to see Washington
advance steadily from this time forward

The symmetry and the artistic harmony of

Electricity in Tunnels.

The decision Of the New York Central
Railroad Company to adopt electric trac-
tion for the terminal tunnel in New York
city. together with the construction of a.
great loop to accommodate the suburban
traffic without dead-ends of track, has un-
doubtedly been hastened by the recent tun-
mel disaster. followed by sharp public
agitation of possible remedies. The COM
pany's announcement is to the effect that
this general project was agreed upon some
months ago. but that certain real estate
arrangements had first to be made, which
necessitated the conceennapt of the COM

courage these people to better their con-
ditions and to assist them In their honest
and earnest efforts to become useful citi-
Zens."
Mr. Davis has performed a worthy SER
vice In contributing this information to the
public. 1t is deserving of the public's at
tention. 1t is an assurance as to the fu-
ture which every man, white or black. who
cares for the well being of the country
should be gratified to receive. 1t shows ex-
traordinary progress for a people who have
been hampered in very many ways since
their servitude was abolished, and it more
than suggests that developments similar to
those at Jacksonville but await the call
elsewhere for the negro's skilled labor. We
have probably. by many thousands more
competent artisans in this country than
we have been reckoning with. The negro
has, almost unnoticed, been qualifying
himself for duties far superior to those he
once performed.
Mr.. Davis speaks of "the manual training
schools throughout the south There are
many people who look on Booker Washing
toms school as the only one of the kind
down there. And some are of opinion that
that institution is still in experimental
stages. Tuskegee is the best known of
al, anu is HrIniy on ltS pms, Out tnefe are
a number of such industrial schools for
negroes and the reports from all are Of a
most encouraging character. Booker
Washingtons example is being copied by
many negroes of ambition and capacity.
who are instructing men and women of
their race in work of the better grades.
The sentiment with which Mr.. Davis
closes his communication is highly credit
able to him as man and citizen, and it
is the sentiment which in the end will pre-
vail in this country. AS the negro ac-
quires skill as a laborer, and shows pride
in what he turns out and loyalty to his
obligations he will secure a footing in the
walks of life from which mere prejudice
cannot dislodge him. His home is here, his
heart is here, his labor is needed, and the
color of his skin is no excuse whatever for
expressing him or driving him away. The
best men in the south wish him well in his
efforts to rise in the scale of usefulness.

pany's plans. Steps have been taken to in
crease the capital stock by $3500O,o00 to
provide means for the improvements, and to
secure the necessary legislation to permit
the adoption of electricity as the motive
power.
This action in New York directs attention
more pointedly to the advisabiity Of max
ing some such provision for the Washing
ton underground terminals under the new
arrangement Of the tracks. A smokeless
tunnel is clearly more safe than one filled
with gas and steam and smoke. There will
be time before the new southern-connec-
ton subway is built for the managers Of
the lines entering Washington to observe
the working out of the New York Centrars
plans. to ascertain the extent to which the
use of electric power will lessen the tunnel
dangers and add to the comfort Of passen-

The balance on the wrong side of the
ledger of the late Buffalo Pan-American
exposition Is now definitely stated to be
S.326 6lli69. The causes of this deficiency
are generally conceded to be partly because
the show was not opened for a long time
after the date announced for ii. but more
largely because its attractions were adver-
tised in the job printing offices of Buffalo,
instead of in the newspapers of the country.
The managers of the ST. Louis enterprise
will do well to make a note of these two
points If they wish to avoid a similar re-

The Social Schemer.


When all the trusts are organized
Into single power,
Perchance my soul will be surprised
By one sweet blissful hour
For then the sad suspense will cease
And each may rest his brain,
And call no more for the police,
And call, alas, in vain.
And straight unto one man we'll go
When we redress would claim
When things got dearer we would know
Just where to place the blame.

Professor Triggs has discovered that
George Washington was a great prose
writer. If he keeps busy enough something
of interest may be discovered about Pro-

determined to become as fully recognized
as headquarters for literary opinions as
st. Louis is recognized as the great Amer
lean depot for mules.

WEEKLY SUMMARY OF CROPS
Corn III Shocks Damaged by Dampriess
and Mold Over q Wide Area.

Corn III Shocks Damaged by Dampriess
and Mold Over Wide Area.
The weekly crop report issued by the
weather bureau says as whole the week
was very wet in the districts east Of the
Rocky Mountains, with temperatures
generally above normal, except over the
middle Rocky Mountain slope, where it
was moderately cool. While the excess
sive rains interrupted farm work and
DELAYED the maturing of late crops, they
proved favorable for termination Of TALL
sQwn grain and placed the soil i'll fine
condition for blowing and seeding. NO
damage resulted from frOsts, which were
confined to the central and northern
Rocky Mountain districts on the Paclhc
coast regions. The general conditions
on the Pacific coast were favorable, al
though rain is needed i'll eastern Oregon.
The weather has been unfavorahle for
maturing late corn in the central valleys
and lake region, especially over the north
ern portion of these districts, and the re-
ports indicate that corn in shock has
been considerably damaged by dampnesS
and mold over Il wide area and that much
of the crop in the upper lake region ana
Missouri valley will not be marketable.
Reports of injury from rain to open cot
ton are very general throughout the belt,
with the exception of the Carolinas ana
portions of Texas. and sprouting and rot
ting in hollis are largely reported, espe-
cially in the central districts. Picking,
though much interrupted, is well advanc-
ed and is nearing completion in some dis
trcts. Late cotton in central and north
ern Texas is making rapid growth, but
will not mature unless frosts are unuSu-
ally late, and under these conditions Il
light top crop may also be gathered III
Alabama A fine crop of sea island cot
ton is promised in South Carolina.
Late tobacco has been materially M
proved. Cloudy and rainy weather,
which has been very general throughout
the week, has been very unfavorahle Tor
