gency arises upon the melting OF the Ice
and the possible formation OF jam. AS
long as the Ice holds fast there is no need
to fear trouble. But artificial obstruc-
tions to the free flow Of the current af-
forded by the Potomac bridges cause the
first movement of the Ice to be fraught
with danger. 1t then becomes imperative
that the channel be kept free SO that the
floating cakes will not bank up at either
of the bridges and SO begin the work OF
forming a formidable dam. The danger Is
compa ratively small at the Aqueduct
bridge. but 1t Is serious at the Long bridge,
where the piers have been for many years
surrounded below the surface with piles or
protecting stones, reducing the channel by
nearly fifty per cent. An Ice jam there
would not only menace the lower portions
of the city, but would threaten to carry
away the bridge itself. A short time ago
this latter prospect would have been graft
flying rather than threatening as for many
years apparently the only sure way OF Sc
curing a modern bridge across the Potomac
at this point was through the accidental de-
struction OF the present wretched make
shift. Now that the railroad plans are in
fair way of prompt execution including the
construction of new bridges, the popular
point of view Is changed and the possible
ity Of serious interruption Of traffic be-
tween the District and Virginia is regarded
with apprehension. A few thousand dollars
in hand at once will arm the Commission
ers against the chance of both flood and
q severance of the railroad connections
with the south.

A Rambunctious Yawp.

To treat tho matter seriously-it Is a diff
ficult thing to do-the only regret to be
cypre ssed in connection with Mr.. Wheeler's
outburst is that it should have occurred
while the country is engaged at its lenten
deyotions. 1t was in-timed The Ameri-
ca.; people have 4 keen sense Of humor, ana
during the season of jollity would have re-
ct.iytd this comco-tragic or tragico-comic
G,iiverance with roars Of delight. Ihey

L. will prove too strong for the obligations
OF the hour. The grayest Of men will for
a moment yield to the temptation provided
BY this rehash of yellow journalism, spiced
with Ignorance and assurance of the most
aggressive character The newspapers are
simply having little fun. and incidentally
figuring on circulation. But Mr.. Wheeler
seems to have dashed himself into a solemn
fury.
There will be those to fancy that the
gentleman from Kentucky is maneuverins
for a reelection But the suspicion will
do him an injustice. He had a notion for
awhile last year that he was in the race
for the seat In the Senate now occupied
by Mr.. Deboe, and while laborlng under
the delusion pledged himself not to stand
for another term in the House. After

pie would acquit themselves as host on
such an occasion. The Little Dutchman

Inauguration Day Should Be Changed

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The joint resolution proposing constitu-
tional amendment making the terms of the
President, Vice President and members OF
Congress expire on the last Thursday In
April instead Of on the 4th Of March. which
was passed by the Senate on Tuesday, has
the hearty Endorsement OF all citizens OF the
republic who are familiar with the kind Of
weather that Washington has generally
provided for Inauguration day.
The conviction that the Inauguration Of
the President should be set for a later
date than March 4 has been quite general
among the people for many years. Owing
to the popular notion that some peculiar
sanctity attaches to the date fixed by Con-
gress for inauguration. however. the ma
tional legislators have been reluctant to
change 1t. As q matter OF fact, the naming
OF March for the Inauguration Of the first
President was partly accidental and was
impe!.ed by no special motive or design.
The Continental Congress ordered that the
electors should meet and vote for President
on the first Wednesday in February, 1859,
and that the new Congress should meet at
New York on the first Wednesday In March,
which happened to be the fourth day Of
March. Later Congress by law fixed March
4 as the day on which the terms OF the
Presidents begin and end
When March 4. 1859. came there was no
Senate, as less than g. majority had ar
rived. When at length the Senate secured
a majority the House was still without one
and remained so till April, during which
month the votes Of the electors were count
ed, and 1t was found that General Washing
ton had Received the entire electoral vote.
AS soon as he received news OF his election
General Washington left Mount Vernon for
New York. where on April 80. 1850. he was
inaugurated President
With such precedent as this there
would seem to be no ground for sentimental
arguments against changing Inauguration
day to the last Of April. With constant Inn
provement in transportation facilities the
national capital is brought nearer to the
different states Of the Union each year, and
guration ceremonies grow larger Wash
ington weather on March is cold, blustery
and ddisagreeable-almost insufferable. The
last OF April 1t is generally balmy and
pleasant and Is favorable to the outdoor
pageants that mark Inauguration day.
II the House concurs in the resolution
there Is not the slightest doubt that the
states will promptly ratify 1t.

A Big Street Railway Merger.

Despite William C. Whitney's recent an
nouncement that he had retired from busi-
ness cares. his name Is conspicuous In the
announcements OF the formation OF the
new securities company which Is to merge
certain large traction interests of New
York and Philadelphia. This is a large
piece of work for retired business man
to accomplish. 1t involves many scores Of
millions and changes the aspect OF the
transportation issues In both cities and the
country lying between and around them
Among the important possibilities in the
scheme Is the formation Of an effective al
lance between the elevated, surface and
subway lines Of the metropolis, three in
terests which, short time ago. seemed
destined to fight for the patronage Of the
great city. In addition. there Is q prospect
OF a further combination between the sub
way lines and the Pennsylvania railroad.
which Is about to construct tunnel into
the heart Of New York city. The possible
developments OF the enterprise are practi-
cally unending in the light OF the broad
terms OF the charter Of the new securities

NEW EIaHT-cENT STAMPS
Have Been Put on Sale in the Post
Offices,

The new issue of Scent stamps with the
portrait of Martha Washington has been
placed sale in the post Offices through
out the country. These stamps signalize a
new departure in usual design, in that they
have the first portrait of a woman ever
placed a stamp by the United States
government. There have been other things
printed by the government, such as bank.
notes, bonds etc, which have pictures OF
women the most notable being the old one
dollar bill on which was the same portrait
of Martha Washington as that on the new
stamp.
This is the second stamp of the new is
cue to be placed sale. The first was
the Scent stamp. bearing the portrait Of
General Sherman. Within the space of a
few weeks the new and Scent stamps will
be ready for issue. These stamps will bear
the portraits of Grant and Lincoln. respec-
lively. The old scent stamps bore the pic
ture of General Grant and President Lin
coins picture. 1t has been decided by the
post office officials that Lincoins portrait
is the most appropriate for the h-cent
stamp. as this is the stamp which attains
the greater circulation, being used on ALI
foreign letters. and. therefore, Grant and
Lincoln changed places
