Rushing the New Terminal.

1t is probable that not many Washing
toniars realize today the magnitude Of the
works now in progress and about to de-
velop in connection with the union station
construction. Covering scores of acres OF
ground. both north and south of the Capt.
toll, and at the present stage giving en-
ployment to nearly thousand workers,
the enterprise will gradually impress its
proportions on the public until 1t is real
lied that this is a work of vast extent
and of exceptional significance to the Dis
trict. The statutes covering the matter
last spring for the completion of all the
works, and those who have measured the
scheme have felt that probably all of that
time would be consumed. This period of
disturbance would of course be consid-
cradle annoyance to the residents of the
regions affected, and would have an up
setting influence on business conditions In
general.
1t is therefore gratifying to learn, through
the attorney for the b. and O., who yes
terday appeared before the Commissioners
to argue a point in ISSUE that the terminal
will probably be sufficiently finished by the
9Th of March, 1895. to permit its employment
for the operation of all trains entering the
city. This date is of additional Significance
In view of the fact that 1t is the day of
the next inaugural when visitors win pour

economy. One of the strongest arguments
advanced in behalf Of the trust is that 1t
permits a saving of cost in production.
That may be true, but II there Is such a
saving it Is at the spigot, while the bung-
hole Is left wide open for the grossest
waste. The promoter who sells a property
to a trust for three or four times it's value
and then discreetly markets the securities
he has received in payment. while public
confidence in the stability and businesslike
organization of the combine is as yet unim-
paired. is merely a gambler playing with
sharply and he Is forced to sell at a very
low figure he has a large margin of profit
above the actual value of his commodities.
The people are the sufferers in these
transactions, that is those who accept the
securities of these companies at their first
quotations. Herein lies the strength of
the proposed remedy of publicity for the
trust evil. If all the records were Access
sible to would-be investors. even as they
are now spread before the receiver In this
ship-building case, there would be less blind
buying and ultimately more honesty, or at
least conservatism in the organization of
the syndcates and the marketing of their
securities. 1t will be we'll for the country
when the day arrives on which 1T Is no
longer possible for a few shrewd manipu-
lators to initiate values in this manner in
order to mulct the public.

Protecting the President.

From the New York Tribune.
Ultra democratic prejudices have been In
voked both in and out of Congress, to de-
feat the passage of any measure assuring
the President special and openly admitted
means of personal protection Though the
Senate two years ago voted for bill Gre
ating q military guard for the chief execu-
tive. the more rampant democracy of the
House baked at the presidential guard as
savoring too strongly of the traditions of
monarchy.
This tendency to ridicuIe as imitation of
old world models the simplest provision for
the Presidents safety is to be seriously re-
GREETED. Times have changed since the
earlier days of presidential simplicity The
dangers from indiscriminate contact with
crowds Of free and easy access to the White
House. of handshaking with every importu-
nate tourist or sightseer. have vastly in
creased with the growth of the country and
the spread of anarchistic and socialistic
doctrine. The man who shot Mckinley
was foreigner and an anarchist. The man
arrested In the White House on Monday
was a foreigner and an anarchist DemOc-
racy has as much to fear from such foes as
monarchy. and 1t is surely a sham asser-
ton of democratic equality which hesitates
at singing out the President for military
protection against assassins whose brains
are full of plots for the destruction Of all
rulers and all government.
1t Is time for US as nation to admit
and face the dangers which threaten the
personal safety of our Presidents. Three
national tragedies within fifty years should
enforce the lesson which Congress has sc
far refused to heed. We owe 1t to the
President to give him a reasonable assur-
ance of protection from the bullet of the
anarchist conspirator or the dangerous lu-
matte; and we should give him the protec-
ton frankly and openly-not by such back
door methods as detailing to his service
treasury detectives taken from their proper
and legitimate work.

Rays.

When Roenteen discovered the property
of certain etheric vibrations to penetrate
solid substances and to permit the human
vision to reach through opaque surfaces he
time that there were higher waves than
algebraic symbol of the unknown quantity.
1t had been known by scientists for long
time that here were higher waves than
those which had been classified and con-
trolled. but their function and character
were not ascertained. So the *" had Its
particular appropriateness when 1t was
used to name the unknown, at last 1dent1-
fed and utilized. Then the investigations OF
scientists revealed other secrets of the
physical world. other waves were Identified
and made to accomplish marvels, and other
letters of the alphabet were employed to
designate them. The latest is the "N-ray,
so named after the University of Nancy,
where M. Blondlot the discoverer, carried
on his Investigations. Its functions diner
somewhat from those of the X-ray, but as
thus far determined. not sufficiently to
cause 1t to assume an important part In
the new physical science. The process Is
likely to continue for long time, new
etheric conditions and forces being ferreted
out and named one by one until they have
been neatly pigeon-holed in the cabinet Of
the laboratory experts. At the present rate
the alphabet will soon be inadequate to give
titles to all these vibrations. with their
subtly differentiated variations.

Assaults on the President.

Had the man Elliott who was arrested
at the White House last Monday, made an
actual attempt to harm the President,
either then or on the day before at the
church, he would have been amenable only
to the code provision now in force In the
District covering the crime of assault with
intent to kill, or perhaps only that defining
the crime of assault, according as his pur-
pose manifested itself. The maximum pen
atty for the former offense Is fifteen years
Imprisonment, and for a simple assault a
fine of $500, or years Imprisonment, or
both. Assault on the person with intent to
commit another crime is punishable by i'm
prisonment for not more than five years.
So that at the most any person who, In this
jurisdiction, unsuccessfully attempts to
take the life of the President is subject to
fifteen-year term In the penitentiary.
This is palpably inadequate penalty, in
view of the vast interests which depend
upon the security of the person of the
President. When President Mckinley was
shot and for some days there was hope
that his life would be spared, the country
awakened to the fact that his assailant, in
such event. could not be adequately pun
ished. The almost universal sentimentspre-
vailed that he should be subject to the
death penalty in any case. having attempt
ed the Presidents life. So strong was this
feeling that when the President died and
the capital punishment law took its course
an ipsistent demand was made on Congress
to rectify the omission of the federal laws
and enact statute properly Furnishing any
attempt to kill the chief executive. what
ever the outcome. The proposition went
further and included in this category an
attempt on the life of the Vice President or
any cabinet officer, as a possible successor
to the presidency, or any federal judge.
But Notwithstanding the urgent appeals
of the country the enactment OF some such
law was blocked by the opposition of
few men, on the ground that 1t was unwise
to dfferentiate between the person of the
President of a democracy and that of any
citizen. In the press of other matters and
with the fading of the public horror at the
killing of Mr.. Mckinley the case of the
which is so urgently needed in this connec-
ton remains unenacted. This latest affair
at the White House, while perhaps not in
dicative of a murderous purpose on the
part of the unfortunate maniac. has al
ready aroused afresh the feeling that Con-
gress has been grossly negligent of a vitality
important duty. The demand for the enact
ment of the statute which failed of passage
through the last Congress is now being
heard anew, and 1t Is not to be- doubted
that the clamor for this measure of precau-
ton and prevention will swell In volume as
the weeks pass before the meeting of the
houses.

The Arrest of Elliott

An explanation of the treatment of the
Elliott case by the White House author
tiles and the secret service agents, more
complete than has heretofore appeared is
printed in the news columns today and it
calls for a word to correct The Stars edi-
torial comments of yesterday In the course
OF The Stars references to the matter it
was said that Elliott's first letter announc-
Ing his presence in Washington, giving his
address and inclosing his photograph,
should have been turned over at once to
the police or other agents Of the law in
order that the man might be forthwith ar
rested and thus kept away from the White
House. but that nothing was done and so
the man was free first to accost the Presi-
dent at church on Sunday and then to call
at the White House Monday
1t now appears that Secretary Loeb did
In fact turn over the letter and photograph
Immediately to the secret service officers
with instructions to hunt up the man and
to prevent him from calling at the White
House and that they sought Elliott at the
hotel but he had departed and they could
not trace him. This unQuestionably was
the extent of Mr.. Loeb's responsibility in
the case and relieved him of any further
accountability. He had followed precisely
what The Star urged yesterday was the
wise course to pursue. and the suggestion
that he had left undone any part of his
duty did him an injustice.
But this statement only enlarges the re-
sponsibilty of those who permitted Elliott
to approach the President on Sunday, they
being then under Instructions to arrest the
man wherever he might be found. They
had his photograph and, 1t appears from
the reports of the case. were able afterward
to state confidently that the man arrested
on Monday was the same as the man who

Mr.. Chamberlain at Glasgow.

Great Britain is booked for the greatest
shaking I'D she has known in many years.
Mr. Chamberlains topic appeals to every
person in the realm. and he possesses both
the courage and the ability to handle 1t.
His opening speech at Glasgow last night
was heard and applauded by thousands. and
we may safely expect the interest to con-
tinue.
Attention to his subject was very forcibly
asked by the speaker by reference to the
Boer war The point could not have been
better put. The government. he requested
his listeners to remember, was warmly de-
nounced for it's unpreparedness for strug-
gle at that time. Should ii continue in an
unprepared state for the fiscal struggle now
inevitable? Great Britain must win or lose.
She is not now in condition to win He but
offers her a policy which in his judgment
will insure success. Equally felicitous. too,
was his Illustration borrowed from Venice.
Great Britain may not be as shaky as the
Campanile. but cracks and creyices" are
a warning and must not be neglected.
Mr.. Chamberlain commits himself fully
to protection. He would build up his coun-
try by the policy which has wrought such
wonders in the United States and in Ger
many. 1t will require, of course, adjust
ment to suit the local conditions and re-
sources but he has the fullest faith in his
country's ability to respond to such an adj
Justment to the advantage of all. This
necessarily means contest with US even
sharper than the one in existence, but as
we are so firmly on our pins we shall not
shrink from the engagement II the British
electorate accepts Mr.. Chamberlain's sug-
gestion. Business is business, and we have
not reached place in the front rank of the
worlds commercial fighters without learn
ing and being able to apply the art of war
This man is unlike the great Englishmen
who have figured as leaders in the past fifty

true of any ordinary man. 1t Is a badge of
