An Exceptional Fourth of March.

Here Is the kind Of March that all who
have ever attended inaugurations would
like to see permanent feature of the
Washington climate. 1t is just right But
unfortunately this Is not an Inauguration
day. and 1t has been the usual experience
OF the throngs assembled at the capital to
witness the induction of a President into
office that the weather has been far from
propitious. The chances are against good
weather on this day. Look at the six in
augurations which have occurred within
the past twenty-five years. That of Gar
field was held with the streets slushy with
half-melted snow and the air piercing.
That Of Cleveland in 1885 was ideal That
OF Harrison was wet and cold. That of
Cleveland in 49, was snowy and execrable
in every way. That of Mckinley in 1851
beyond criticism. That of Mckinley
four years later was rainy and altogether
disagreeable. Thus Of the six only two
have been suitable for the outdoor pleas
ure or comfort or safety of large crowds of
people. Four of them have been of a char
acter to menace the health of many thou
sands, while permitting no comfort what
ever. 1t matters but little as regards the
arguments for a change of date that this
particular March is bright and moderate
There are no great crowds in the streets
to be considered. However, If the entire
range of March fourths is to be taken as
guide to the proper action of Congress in
the premises, there can be no doubt of the
result for the weather bureau reports and
the records of private observers of the
local climate. which run back longer than
the official statistics, show that the average
olemency for this day through the years
is below 80 per cent. The chances. in other
words, are all against the occurrence Of
fair. mild day. 1t is to be hoped that those
Congressman who refuse to consider this
question worthy Of their reformatory atten-
ton will, on returning today to their dis
tant homes, carry away recollection of
this particular March as one of the ex-
ceptional days, and will compute the re-
duction 1t causes in the average expecta
tion that the day two years hence, and six
years hence. and so on until the date is
changed, will be fit for human beings to
assemble for the great national festival of
celebration.

Time-Wasting Roll Calls.

The experience in the House of Represen-
tatives during the past few days demon
strates anew the necessity of securing for
that body reliable and speedy form of au-
tomato vote-recording machine, such as
has been more than once projected and
called to the attention of the officials. The
House chapters of the Congressional Record
during the past week have been chiefly
filled with the results of the roll calls each
Of which occupies from half to three-quar-
tiers of an hour. Under some circum-
stances. when the hall Of the House is noisy
and the members are in state of great
excitement, the roll call proceeds slowly
and the results. are often questioned, owing
to the difficulty of the clerks In hearing

The Monroe Doctrine.

In Germany somebody, in a spirit either
of fun or mistaken zeal. has referred the
Monroe doctrine to a jury of learned collie
CLANS and philosophers for examination and
report. The returns SO far show small ap-
probation Of the doctrine. One professor
thinks there is nothing in it, and another
that there is nothing behind It. Prince Bis
marck. who denounced the doctrine as
Colossal impudence," would read these ex-
pressions with approval and pleasure. The
German government. however, Is not act
ing on this view Of the matter. 1t was at
pains to explain its purposes as to Ven
ezuela before putting the screws on that
country, and we should expect as much In
any other case of a similar kind. As to how
much is behind the Monroe doctrine de-
ponds entirely upon ones appraisement of
this country. The United States. to the
last dollar and the last man, is enthusla sti-
cafly behind it.

hood bill which has just been accomplished.
The measure did not deserve to become a
law. The majority report Of the Senate
committee on territories was full and
convincing document, and showed conclu-
sively how poorly prepared both Arizona
and New Mexico were for the recognition
demanded. Debate served to strengthen the
report. Against the facts the advocates OF
statehood could only present sentiment, and
that they harped upon too aggressively Tor
their own good They made no votes by
their course, and they even failed to pre-
serve for all the uses they attempted the
strength with which they started out.
Has the country paid too dearly for the
defeat of the statehood bill? OF course. its
friends charge the failure Of the Philippine
tariff bill, the Aldrich financial bill. and the
calling Of the extra session of the Senate to
act on the canal treaty and the reciprocity
treaties to the fight against the statehood
bill. We are asked to believe that II Mr..
Quay had been permitted to have his way
in the one matter every other measure of
Importance before the Senate would easily
have gone through. We may doubt that.
1t is not an easy matter as 'fne Italian
hands on both sides of the chamber were
busy during the whole session, to determine
just what would have been done, with the
statehood bill out Of the way. But we may
safely assume that both the Philippine tariff
bill and the Aldrich financial bill would
have been stoutly resisted by the democrats
in any circumstances, though both had the
support of the business interests of the
country, and neither in reality, was po-

A Victory for Municipal Art.
From the New York Tribune


One Of the recent decisions Of the Supreme
Court which will greatly rejoice persons
Interested in municipal art is that uphold
ing the Massachusetts, law to limit the
height of buildings in Copley Square, Bos-
ton. In May, 1898, the legislature passed
an act prohibiting the erection of buildings
more than ninety feet high in Copley
Square The Westminster Chambers. for
which building permit had been issued in
July, 1897 was then under way. When the
builders came to the cornice they found
that it would project six feet beyond the
limit. After consultation with the city au-
thorities 1t was decided to complete the
structure according to the plans. The right
to protect the artistic appearance Of Copley
Square is vindicated. That Is a great vic
tory. 1t means that we may legislate to
restrict the use Of property not only on
grounds OF public safety and sanitation,
but also solely on grounds of aesthetics
There can be no. such thing as an artistic
nuisance. A mans eye as well as his nose
has rights which property owners along
the street are bound to respect That has
sometimes been doubted. Courts have often
felt 1t necessary in permitting the restric-
ton Of sign boards to say that they were
dangerous. were likely to be blown over,
interfere with firemen or otherwise do tan
gible harm. Now a law is upheld by the
highest authority the sole and avowed pur-
pose Of which was to keep the architectural
harmony of a public place from being dis
figured.

Statehood and the Next Congress,

Mr.. Quay predicts that four territories
win knock at the doors of the next Con-
gress for statehood. That is altogether
likely. and 1t Is something the republican
leaders should very seriously consider be-
tween now and then. The contest will be
all the livelier. too, for the fact that pres
campaign Is opening. and both par
ties Will be playing for western support

peaied to In the strongest terms to stand
up for western interests That is, for the
Increase OF political power in that quarter
of the country. The subject will lend itself
readily to political agitation. and expe-
rienced campaigners like Mr.. Teller may
be expected to develop all its possibilities
in the nature OF yote-winning.
Meanwhile the country is to be congrat-
ulated on the defeat OF the omnibus state

Three Mayoralty Races.

Tom Johnson will try 1t again. 1t was
only last fall that he ran for governor of
Ohio and was overwhelmingly defeated.
His admirers followed his campaign with
the keenest interest. They thought they
saw in him the partys national candidate
for 1904 But the November result discour-
aged them. It did not, however, discourage
Mr.. johnson. He went back home but for
the moment disquieted; he has spent the
winter in sober reflection and comes for
ward now at the opening Of spring can
didate for second term as mayor Of Cleye-
land. The republicans, it is said, realize
the necessity of putting their best foot for
ward. They must have strong candidate,
and Mr.. Hanna Is again to take the stump.
II Mr.. johnson is defeated in this race we
shall probably hear little more about him.
Two defeats within twelve months will put
him out Of all speculation as to the imme-
diate future. But If he wins? To what ex-
tent should that revive national interest in
him?
At the other end of the state M. E. In
gals is heading a citizens ticket for mayor
of Cincinnati. He, like Mr.. Johnson, has
national reputation and is supposed to have
national aspirations Unlike Mr.. Johnson,
he has never tried his luck with the people.
This is his first attempt for office. Suppose
he wins and Mr.. Johnson loses. Will he
figure in the calcula tons as Mr.. Johnson
for time has done? Suppose both win.
Will Mr.. Ingalls, contest with Mr.. Johnson
as to whose victory shall be rated at the
greater value by the democracy Of the
state?
These two mayoralty races will take place
this spring Next fall New York elects
mayor. Tammany Is getting ready to make
a great effort. Mr.. Low will be renomi-
mated by the fusion forces Tammany
thinks he can be defeated. 1t Is moving
cautiously, however. 1t realizes that every
step must be carefully calculated. The de-
mand is for a candidate who can command
not only the votes of Tammany, but those
of such men as supported Mr.. Low in his
first race, but have been disappointed in his
administration and are now threatening to
oppose him. If Tammany secures the right
sort Of a man, and he sweeps the city,
what may the effect be on the national sit
uation? Why should he not begin to divide
attention with Judge Parker as a presden-
tial quantity? This years mayoralty races,

The Senate.

The changes in the Senate deprive the re-
publicans of none of their strongest men,
Allison Plat of Connecticut, Spooner, For
aker and Fairbanks all enter upon new
terms. All are debaters of fine powers and
large experience All command the respect
of both sides of the chamber All have
committee assignments which give them
marked influence in the shaping of legisla-
ton. The republicans have not in forty
years enjoyed the services in the upper
house OF Congress of a quintette more
capable in the practical handling of i'm
portsnt business. They are to be congrat-
ulated on the retention of such men in such
places at a time when the country stands
in need of the best available talent.
The democrats lose two men who for
long time have served with distinction.
Mr.. Vest and Mr.. Jones of Arkansas have
borne conspicuous parts in all the principal
debates of the past eighteen years. The
former was never more vigorous mentally
but poor health has obliged him to retire
Mr.. Jones, while still in fine fettle in every
way, gives place to a successful rival.
This loss would be keenly felt by the mi
nority except that two very capable men,
each well equipped for leadership, step at
once into the arena. Mr.. German and Mr..

crossed the aisle and taken place among
his former opponents. The business of the
body Is new to him in no feature. Mr.. Cor

but not as a stranger either to senators or
to public questions. He has probably while
in retirement followed congressional mat
tiers closely, and many Of the men with
whom he formerly served are still on deck.
The popular belief is that the Maryland
senator will resume his old place as leader
of his party in the Senate. He has every
qualification for the post. He has spent all
of his years in politics, and a large major
ity Of them in Office. His temperament is
cautious and Unconditional. His judgment is
good. He speaks WELL but not f1uently, and
therefore he never wanders from the point
and involves himself and his party in an
excess Of statement. He knows all of the
ropes. His party, indeed, makes distinct
gain by his temperance on the scene, and
the republicans are not without apprecia-
ton OF the fact Mr.. German, it is under

fore prepared for hard work.

Congress- and the Canteen.

Congress has enacted an anti-canteen law
for itself which the extra session of the
Senate will afford opportunity to test
Whether the no-lfquor clause in the immi-
grafton bill was written and adopted in the
first place a joke or seriously in the
interest of congressional temperance the
fact is that the statute has been written
and the country will watch with interest to
see whether or not 1t Is enforced. Here
is a law which cannot be easily evaded
If liquors are sold in the restaurants under
any guise or through any device the fact
will be Immediately patent and it may be
expected that those interests which secured
the passage of the anti-army canteen law
will be as enterprisng in detecting and de-
nouncing such violations though the
soldiers at some city post of the army were
to set up a beer and light wine bar for
their own convenience.
Regardless of the moral questions in
volved 1t Is only fair that Congress SHOULD
enact for itself the law which 1t has applied
to the army. The Capitol building stands
upon a government reservation. and any
liquor-selling enterprise conducted there
must have in some degree the direct sane
ton of the government itself. If men in
uniform are to be deprived of their light
beverages for the sake of their physical
and moral health assuredly the men VINO
make the country's laws should be SO de-
prived. And If the men in uniform who
crave stimulants go off the reservation for
their liquor and get it in demoralizins
quantities and qualities. then 1t may be
expected that the men at the Capitol who
have this same craving will in some man.
ner get their liquor despite the law.
And If Congress, after few months ex-
perience with the temperance restaurant,
finds that it is distasteful and proceeds t,
repeal the law. the friends of the army
canteen will assuredly be entitled to a re.
hearing of their case, which has so many
strong arguments in its favor. What IS
sauce for the goose has always been con-
sidered fair sauce for the gander, too.
