Washington's Financial POLICY.

Washngtons business interests are pro-
verbal throughout the country for conser
vatism and solidity. During the panic of
1898. when banks and business houses were
collapsing in all parts of the United States
because of reckless speculation or Insecure
foundations. the local institutions stood
firmly and weathered the storm. This city
suffered less 1t is safe to say, than any In
the states. proportionate to the invest
ments. The same is true of the present
semi-panic, which is marked by sharp de-
cline in securities and a shrinkage of val
ues. AS noted in the course of the New
York Suns financial gossip today, repro
duced elsewhere in this issue of The Star
Washington is conspicuous among the
southern cities for having lost little if any
thing in the course of the great stock
slump. 1t has confined its attention chiefly
TO its own securities, which are on sound
basis, and it has scarcely noted the vio-
lent fluctuations of the .industrials'' and
other securities which have fallen to an abb
normally low point in the metropolitan
money market. This fact is not only salts
factory, but it evidences the sagacity of
the Washington business men, who prefer
to keep their money in home institutions
and thus to contribute directly to the
growth and welfare of the community
There has never been a disposition here to-
ward wildcat specializing There are
plenty of openings in the local field for the
investment of surplus funds a a good rate
of interest and with an assured future
Money stringencies seldom affect the CAPT.
tai. because of the fortnightly outflow of
large sums from the federal treasury in
salaries.

The Two McClellans.

There is an effort by Tammany to conjure
with the name of General Mcclellan in be-
half of his son in the New York mayoralty
fight. and Grand Army posts are objects of
attention. The idea. in the light of the rec
ord, is not of the happiest.
General Mcclellan was the candidate of
the democracy for the presidency In 1864
on platform declaring the war for the
preservation of the Union to be failure
The war had been in progress then for
nearly four years, with varying fortunes
Much grumpiness existed because the con-
federacy had not been conquered, and the
democracy insisted that success by force of
arms was impossible But it afterwards
turned out that at that very time the Union
was within six months of complete triumph.
Mcclellan was showed under at the polls
in November. and in the following April
Grant received Lees surrender at Apo
mattox. What would have followed had
Mcclellan won 1t is appalling now to con-
sider No men are more thankful for the
reelection of Mr.. Lincoln than those who
opposed him in that race.
The younger Mcclellan is the candidate
of the democracy of New York city for
partisan government of that municipality
is failure. The Low administration is
nearly two years old, and some of those
who helped bring 1t into existence complain
that it has not accomplished all that was
promised in its name. They admit some
merit. but upon the whole they are dissat-
isfed with the result and show DISPOSE
ton to aid Tammany in it's efforts to retake
the town. Tammany of course Is shouting
failure IN a high key: and just as the ma
tional democracy in 1864 chose as it's candi-
date man who had helped achieve what
many now places on its ticket two men who
have assisted in demonstrating that non
partisan municipal government can achieve
many excellent results.
Has not enough been accomplished by
Mr.. Low to show that the bipartisan
movement in New York is within easy
reach of complete success? Is anything else
necessary to make good in every particular
but his reelection next month? In a word,
do not the Low men now occupy the same
position that the Lincoln men did in the
national campaign twentynine years ago?
What would follow the election of McClel-
Ian mayor? A return to Tammany rule,
and Tammany rule spells loot and infamy.
On the other hand, if Mr.. Low is reelected,
as Mr.. Lincoln was in 1864, by an over
whelming majority, will not even his Oppo-
nents. outside of the inner circles of Tam
many. have occasion to congratulate them

help no man now who was seeking by his
self. He makes no difference between the
regular and the renegade" Both alike
are objectionable to him, though, doubtless,
If forced to choice between the two he
would give his hand to the latter, as most
men would.
The regulars and the "renegades" are
on one side. then. and the straightout Bry-
antics are on the other. This is of little
consequence if it be true that Mr. Bryan is
now back number. and may not be eX-
pected to exert much influence on the demo-
cratic situation next year. But If 1t should
appear that he still has formidable fol-
lowing. and can use 1t in the national con-
vention in support of his personal prefer
ences. then this announcement will in time
become important. For. whatever may be
said of Mr.. Bryan's unwisdom as to public
questions. his sincerity and courage are
open to no doubt. AS men go, he Is a
pretty good Halter. and a political leader
he has been making it plain of late that he
keeps books, and keeps them posted UP to
date.
And so Mr.. Olney and Mr.. German for
not believing in Mr.. Bryans policies are
no stronger for having voted for them, the
former once, and the latter twice. They are
in the same boat with Mr.. Cleveland and
his friends, who. because they did not be-
lieve in them. would not vote for them on
either occasion.

A Guarantee Against Station Smoke

There is no purpose on the part of The
Star to suggest that the public has ex-
pected the use of marble for the union sta
ton building merely in order that this mon
umental building might conform to the exist
ing architectural standards of the govern
ments equipment in this city. 1t is true, as
suggested by correspondent whose letter is
printed to-day that the majority of the
public buildings in Washington are of gran
ite. the Library of Congress. the Treasury,
the State Department. and the Post Office
being of that material while the Capitol is
only in part of marble. those entirely of
that stone being the Interior and old Post
Office buildings. while the new public
library is also of marble.
The point chiefly to be borne in mind in
this connection is that marble will con-
form. not especially to existing standards.
but to those adopted by the Senate's park
commission in its plan for a development
of the capital. Furthermore, the union
station scheme grew out of and, indeed
formed part of the commissions great
project. 1t is unnecessary to enter into the
details of the arguments adduced by the
Senate District committee and it's expert
advisers to persuade the railroad companies
to join their terminals in order to clear the
way for and to contribute to the capital de-
Velopment plans. TO all intents and pur-
poses this station building regarded
from the outset one Of the future public
buildings and such was included under
the recommendation that all future struc-
lures should be of marble.
But The Stars chief concern in the prem
iSes Is apart even from that matter It
deplores the prospect that granite shall be
substituted for marble merely because it is
cheaper and because it is capable of resist
ing dirt and smoke 1t is disquietng to find
this great station project thus placed at the
outsct of its execution on a lower standard
than was first adopted. and especially to
note - disposition To- provide for continu-
alton of the smoke nuisance at the station
where. with the terminals joined it will be
more of a menace TO the city's attractive
ness than ever. Thus marble is to be pre-
ferred not only because il will conform to
the properly high standards of the New
Washington, but because it will serve to a
great extent as a guarantee that the smoke
evil Will be lessened as far as mechanical
ingenuity and the enterprise of the rail-
roads permit.

The Canal and the Extra Session.

II is reported that Senator Morgan will
revive discussion of the isthmian canal at
the extra session of Congress. There should
be no objection to that. The session, as we
all know is expected to legisate only on
the subject of reciprocity with Cuba: but a
little debate on the present status of the
canal question need not block the Cuban
treaty. and it might improve the prospects
OF a canal treaty. Let us have all possible
light and let 1t be turned on as soon as
possible. 1t is unnecessary to add that
Mr.. Morgan himself liz always illuminating
on this subject and instructs even when he
does not convince.
The difficulty now is with Colombia ard
IT Is a matter of dollars and cents 1t is
plain enough that If we put up as Colombia
demands we can do business with her.
Questions of the control of the canal zone
are thrown in to make weight. They can
easily be solved. What we have to consider
is shall we suffer ourselves to be bed by
Colombia according to her notions of our
fat wallet and our keen desire to pierce the
isthmus? And If we accept her latest
figures will she stick to them? She has re-
vised her terms several times and after
DR.. Herran. her representative here. signed
for figures agreed upon by him and his
government the congress at Bogota rejected
the treaty embodying them.
our experience with the Colombian gov
eminent is the opposite of our experience
with the Panama Canal Company IN the
matter of price. The canal company
started out with figures SO tall step lad
der was necessary for an examination of
them. They were impossible to the point of
absurdty. Then came the startling drop to
forty millions. which was the appraisement
of our own commissioners and bargain
was struck. But as the canal company
came down the Colombian government went
up. and she is still rising. Her latest propc-
sition is a sealed one. just arrived by spe-
cal messenger but there is no risk in the
guess that 1t leads straight for Uncle Sam
pocket.
This snarl has not surprised The Star. IT
need not have surprised anybody. When
we turned from Nicaragua. the Colombians
assumed that could not go back, and
that we were at last at their mercy. But
we are not at their mercy, by long shot
Nicaragua is not only still open to us. but
the President is directed to open nego;ia-
tions with that country and Costa Rica
when convinced that suitable terms cannot
be arranged with Colombia. How long
should he wait? What is to convince him
that suitable terms with Colombia are i'm
possible? Mr.. Morgan's move in Congress
should help to answer both questions, and
to show that the American people are tired
of hagsing and want a canal.

and the same rule of computation and pay
ment of interest shall apply to all advances
made for the fiscal year 1903 and Suisse

Thus it appears clearly that while Con-
gress provided that the interest should be
paid at the close of the fiscal year 1t did not
in specific terms appropriate a definite
amount, in the usual language. OF course
the District is not seriously concerned If
the United States has not sufficiently safe
guarded its own investment. 1t has no idea
that the mistake will not be rectified in

Death of Mrs. Emma Sill.

Our citizens were one and all shocked
on Saturday afternoon February 2Ist
when it was announced that Mrs. Jerry
Sill had passed away. The summons
coming so suddenly seemed to create if
anything more than the usual sympathy
with those bereaved. Emma Susan
Smith daughter of Augusta and Samuel
NJ. Smith was born September 4, 1873 in
Monroe County, New York. With her
family she came to Idaho Springs in
May 1887 to make this city her future
home.
Early in life she became identified with
church work uniting with the First Pres
byterian Church of Idaho Springs, on
March AZ, 1902. Since that time she has
been prominent in religious work in all
its departments and was one who could
be relied upon to respond to any duty
demanded in this line.
On March Ie, 1902, Emma Smith be-
came the wife of Jerry Sill, Manager of
the Idaho Springs News, and thus in less
than year is the new home invaded by
the Grim Reaper.
The funeral services were held in the
Presbyterian church on Tuesday after
noon, being conducted by Rev. +. w.
Willman, the pastor, who feelingly re-
ferred to the young life snuffed out when
just starting upon womanhood.
The Ladies of the Maccabees, of which
organization Mrs. Sill was a member es-
corted the remains to their last resting
place, The Knights of Maccabees to which
Mr.. Sill belongs, also acting as an escort
to the Ladies. As a mark of respect
many of the business houses closed dur
ing the hour of the funeral.
To the bereaved husband and family
tender sympathies are extended in their
hour of trouble.
