THE TEN(Ikd.

The Tesora, comprising a Yawkey
fee forty on section 4, 5S-17, a short
distance northeast of the city, is one
of the latest proven deposits in the
Virginia district, but one which
promises the development of a
good mine.
Work on the property is being
conducted by the Tesora Mining
Company, of which NJ. l.. Fay is an
interested member, and nice body
of high-grade ore is being shown.
The ore body is encountered at an
approximate depth of fifty feet, and
although on high ground where a
stripping proposition might be
considered, it is probable that the
mine will be worked as an under.

1t is expected that the mine will be

The Presidents Frankness.

Some of the Presidents critics are of
opinion that his announcement from Walla
WaQa was undignified. This is very much
to be doubted. We are criticised abroad
for what is described as our "shirt-sleeves"
diplomacy. That is to say, our methods in
the transaction of that sort of business are
regarded las too open and direct We are
not sufficiently regardful of ceremonial.
We refuse, unwisely we are told, to avail
ourselves of the advantages of circumlo-
cution. AS we have done SO well with our
style of diplomacy. why not adopt Shirt
sleeves politics. Why not be direct about
those matters? The President is a candi-
date to succeed himself-has been since
October. 1901. Why. then. when the mat
ter was brought to his attention, should he
have dissembled. or kept silent? Has not

persons are killed by falling debris. while
it is not uncommon for houses to be un-
rooted in the fierce squalls which sweep
across the city, with terrifying accompanl-
ments of lightning and rain. The true
cyclone is. however. practically unknown
here. The mountains few score of miles
to the west break the force of the winds
and dissipate them into mere local disturb
ances in summer. while there is not enough
fiat land to the south to permit the fOrma-
ton Of the whirlwinds which are so COM
mon in the Mississippi valley.

New York's Birthday.

New York being two hundred and fifty
years old, Is now felicitating itself on it's
bigness It's wealth and it's prospects. 1t Is
saying d good deal about itself in the course
of banquets and public addresses. and 1t is
plumng itself with flags and bunting and
colored lights and shooting of fireworks
and treating itself generally to royal good
time. Some few of the citizens are pausing
in the midst OF the whirl of business and
pleasure to ask whether the big town is as
good or we'll managed 1t should be after
a quarter of millennium. They are point
ing to the badly managed transportation IA
cilities, to the frightful congestion along
the travel lines. the lack of foresight on the
part of past governors which has resulted
in a serious delay in the provision of
bridges. tunnels and subways. They hint
that the habit of debate and delay has
grown upon the metropolitans until they
palter over big and necessary projects. They
refer to the fact that on several occasions
has the rascality of professional administra-
tors of public affairs been proved, and yet
the resultant reform movements have later
given place to reactions In favor of indif-
ference and corruption. They cite munich
pal problems vitality affecting the public
health. prosperity and happiness which have
lacked for positive solution during past
years. because of the domination of poll

nance of open questions of administration

the forecast that the census of 1910 will
show New York to possess a population of
more than 100000. and perhaps close upon
4.Jo.0Oo. Its problems will increase rather
than decrease, and the responsibilities
which now press heavily upon a fraction of
its citizens in the struggle to keep things
clean and decent and honest will not grow
less with the passing of time and the SWELL
ing of the vast throng of inhabitants.

The Two Political Parties.

The situation for the republicans Is alto

vention their presidential candidate Is as

by general consent. Six months and more
before the meeting Of Congress, which they
will control, both the Speaker of the House
and the leader on the floor are as good as
named. The preference expressed for MI
Cannon when the speakership was under
discussion was all but unanimous, while it
is generally assumed that Mr.. Payne will
again be chairman of ways and means.
The Senate of course is already organized;
and in Mr.. Frye the republicans will have
in the chair in that body one of their
ablest men. This. to repeat, is most UNI
usual situation, and should carry with it
many advantages in the preliminary work
Of presidential campaign.
The democrats on the other hand, are
greatly troubled and divided They are all
at sea about both men and measures. In
the matter of the national leadership. Mr..
Cleveland, Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. German. Mr..
Hill. Judge Parker, and Mr.. Olney have
each a following. Shall one of them be
taken, or may we expect the candidate to
come out of the darkness? In the matter
of the minority leadership In the House Mr..
Williams of Mississippi is prominently men
toned, but he has not been agreed upon.
He may have opposition, and spirited
contest may arise. The place Is claimed for
the south, but there are influential demo-
Gratis who would feel more comfortable il
a northern man were chosen Men Of this
view-they are not members of Congress
70 Nr Of hn
right man for the place.
As to the Senate the democrats are more
fortunate. Mr.. Germans presence there is
assuring. He is on familiar ground and
his leadership is confessed. His party in
that body will follow him in every tacti-
cal play he may make for party advantage.
He is still a protectionist. while his party
is for free trade. He is still sound money
man. while senators like Teller. Dubois,
Blackburn, Berry, Cockrell and others lean
to silver But all hands will probably agree
to say as little as possible about those and
other ticklish questions prior to the meet
ing of the democratic national convention.
Still. II 1t Is true that the advantages OF
organization and agreement are with the
republicans. the responsibility also Is theirs.
And that is something to consider. They
must take the lead. The President must
open the ball with his message to Con-
gress. and then Congress must deal with
some very difficult questions.

The Improvement Of Sixteenth Street

1Qe Improvement Oh ol4teSuCu 0tIeet.
The protests of the residents of the
region affected by the extension Of 10th
street against the suggestion of narrow
ing Of the paved roadway from fifty to
forty feet appear to be entirely reasonable.
The appropriation made by the last Con-
gress was based upon what is apparently
distinct understanding that the roadway
width which obtains south Of Florida ave-
nue. should be continued throughout the
suburban extension of the street. The
proposition to make the funds go further
by narrowing this roadway space In the
portion designated to be improved, graded.
macadamized and paved Is opposed on
the ground that 1t establishes a new
and improper standard for the street, espe-
cially in view of its character as a great
central thoroughfare. destined to become
one of the axial avenues of the capital
Washington has learned from sad expert
ence the folly of making shift for the
sake of stretching meager appropriations.
1t has discovered that 1t Is better to move
slowly and In the right direction than
hastily and on a compromise basis. 1t is
better that 10th street be improved less
rapidly and with the original proportions
preserved than that those proportions be
changed in order to accelerate the speed
of the betterment.
