Now that rivers and streams are
again creeping into their banks the
fisherman is out thrashing the water
for Il rise. While there is no doubt
that the extremely high water of both
this and last spring did much to stock
the streams farther up in the state,
there also appears to have been con-
siderable damage done by the same
water. Reports from along the Missis-
sippi tell of how hundreds of fish have
persisted in the fields bordering in which
they We're grounded as the waters of
the flood receded Tall fish stories
came from along the Skunk and they
tell around Lowell of catfish weigh
ing sixty pounds being captured. The
method was not mentioned. The sport
along that stream is said to be most
excellent and improving as the sedi
ment in the river disappears.

Thankful for Small Favors.

To the Editor of The Washington Times:
Kindly allow me enough space in your val
liable paper TO congratulate the Washington
Traction and Electric Company upon its i'm
Proyemeut in tine service al the Baltimore and
Ohio station last Sunday night. By dashinc
msdly out Of the station, 50 fast that / nearly
broke my neck getting up the steps, l managed
70 catch the last regular car sharing that good
fortune with several other passengers who ar
rived from Baltimore on the midnight express.
The improvement was so noticeable that J ask
that IL be given this public mention.
! should say that the delayed nearly a
quarter Of a minute for the midnight travellers.
or until about half Of them were OF the
train, and that about half score caught the
car This IS 50 much better than on previous
occasions. when only two or three passengers
were taken from the long line streaming out
Of the station. that II is but simple justice TO
the company TO write this letter.
The fact that another half-score Of passengers
had 20 wait on the street corner fifteen minutes
for the first all-night. or owl" car. when they
should have taken the last regular car, should
not lessen the feeling Of gratitude toward the

has been made to initiate the silk fiber
of the genuine paper. The counterfeit
is over an eighth of an inch shorter
than the genuine. The green ink used
on the back of the note is several
shades darker than the genuine The
seal is a decided pink instead Of car

that under modern conditions business
should not be unsettled for so long
time as four months, during which
the country is wont to be wrought up
from end to end over questions Of
tariffs, trusts and finance.
There is much truth in what Judge
Parker says, yet his suggestion for a
shorter campaign Is open to serious
objection. Sometimes a campaign of
education, not in fancy but in fact,
must be conducted and dangerous fall
lacies removed from the minds of the
voters. There Is no better illustration
Of the truth of this assertion than the
campaign of 1896. 1t has been gen
orally conceded that. had the election
OF that year taken place Immediately
after the Democratic convention had
nominated Mr.. Bryan, he would have
swept the country. at least enough of
the Middle West to have been elected
President. Even two months after
ward there is reason for very grave
doubt as to what The outcome would
have been. The country was free-sii-
yer mad; there were hundreds Of
thousands, perhaps millions, of Re
.pubicans who were "bimetallists,'
and even Mr. Mckinley himself, up
to the time the Republican convention
was held, had a decidedly friendly
leaning toward the white metal. Ii
was only in the closing weeks of the
campaign that the fight for sound
money Won That campaign was pre-
eminently one of education. Can any
one doubt that a shorter campaign
would have been disastrous?
But, after all, the real disturbance
to business conditions complained of
does not last for more than two
months. The first half Of the campaign
Is devoted almost entirely to organi-
cation, the perfection of plans and to
getting things into shape for the final
squirt IN the stretch. The "speIlbind-
ing and the ''hurrah" which unsettlc
matters do not begin usually until
September, thus leaving only two
months for the real campaign work.
Il IS none too long a time in which to
conduct a great national campaign.
There should be ample time for
thought and deliberation before the
voter casts his ballot in order that he
may do so intellgently.

Catholics Barred by Statute.

Indeed, to this day Roman Catholics
are barred by statute from filling the
Office of one of the lord justices who
are intrusted with the powers of vice
roy whenever the latter has occasion TO
leave the island
OF course the Protestant ele-
ment of King Edwards subjects in Eng
land are loud in their denunciatiOn of
this concession on the part Of the SOW
ereign to the Church of Rome. But 1t
meets with the approval Of all broad
minded people who argue with right
that inasmuch as there is no longer any
state church in Ireland, the Anglican
church Of the Emerald Isle having been
disestablished more than thirty years
ago by Mr. Gladstone. and since more
than three-quarters of the population
of Ireland are Roman Catholics, it was
only just that the monarch should give
precedence 10 Dr. Walsh as an arch
bishop of considerably Older standing
than the Protestant Archbishop of Ar
magh. MARQUISE DE FONTENOY.

Whitaker Wright's Trial.

Whitaker Wright will be tried by Sir
Robert Wright, judge of the kings
bench division of the high court of JUS
tice, and cannot altogether relish the
prospect. For Sir Robert has acquired
much fame in dealing with precisely
those species of Ofenses with which
Whitaker Wright is charged. and may
be said to be thoroughly entitled to
the nickname which has been given TO
him of the Little Red Ferret" Before
his elevation to the bench he was the
terror Of the occupants OF the witness
box. Ferrets have sharp, snappy ways
about them, with a tendency to poke
their nose into everything that offers
even the slightest indication of con-
cealing prey. And Sir Robert as cross
examiner, with his dry, keen, eager
manner and his absolute disregard for
the feelings OF his victims. had much
in common with the 1.-the little animal
to which his personal appearance has
caused him to be likened. Poor Whit
aker Wright will receive but scant con-
sideration at the hands of his ermine-
CARRIED namesake, and will doubtless re-
greet that precisely this particular oc-
cupant of the bench should have been
selected Of all others to deal with his
case.

Henry WILDER Palmer. member OF Cor

Wilkesbarre, and the Hon. Albert c.

that the President would be nominated

however. in his red devil" and ac-
cording to the doctor caused him all
kinds OF trouble. At one Of Johnson's
big tent meetings the mayor said some
thing about the taxation OF railroad
property. and DR.. Norton. who had for
a number OF years been a railroad audi
tor, was drawn into the controversy and
forced 70 defend himself against John
sons attacks. On the night OF election,
when the votes were counted, it was
found that Dr. Norton's 5000 majority
had been wiped out and in its stead
there was majority of 300 for his Re
publican opponent, the Hon. Amos Henry
Jackson, a millionaire shoestring ped
der. Norton attributed his defeat to
Johnson and has since had some IN
pleasant things TO say about the mayor.
He entered the contest for the delegate
ship for the purpose Of opposing John
son, and il IS quite likely that he viii

ton.

Oxnard for the Senate.

1t is not surprising to learn that Hen
~ T. Oxnard. the beet sugar king. IS
seeking an election 20 the United
States Senate. He doubtless. believes
that he will be able to do more effective
work in the interests Of the great trust
he represents upon the floor OF the Sen
ate than in the Hobbies. where he has
been wont to operate ever since the beet
sugar industry was established.
Oxnard hopes to succeed Senator Bard
Of California. whose term expires IN
1905. and is already laying his plans for
the campaign.
Laying plans for a Senatorial cam
paign in California usually consists in
buying UP conventions for the purpose
OF nominating legislators. who in turn
may be bought 70 vote for the man who
will make the highest bid. II is not al
ways successful, for Senator Perkins
was able last year TO win a reelection
in spite of the bids which were made for
his seat. Next years contest. however.
will be a race between miILonaires. fer
there is much opposition to Senator
Bard and the man who wins will be
obliged 20 spend a small fortune. Ok
nard IS. OF course, prepared to do this IL
there is any assurance that he might
come TO the Senate.

Senator Morgan's Belief.

Senator Morgan of Alabama is the
only man of prominence who still en-
tertains the belief that Mr. Roosevelt
will not be nominated. In a recent in
terview he is quoted as saying that
when the President sees his own no1ni-
nation is impossible he will throw his
strength to Senator Foraker, who will
be nominated. 1t might be that if the
President were TO see that his own
nomination were impossible he would be
inclined to aid in the nomination Of
Senator Foraker in return for the as
sistance which the Senator gave him in
Ohio last spring
But the Presidents sight Is not SO
much impaired that he cannot see the
certainty of his own nomination. The
man with the defective optics is Sen
ator Morgan. He reads the signs OF the
times wrong II he believes that the Re-
publicans will name any other than
Theodore Roosevelt as their standard
bearer next year. although there are
doubtless some who might wish that
Senator Morgan's prediction would
prove correct

Hats and Elevators.

To the Editor Of The Washington Times:
You must pardon me for bringing up a set
tied question for further discussion. but ! am
tempted 10 it by a sign displayed in one OF
our Washington lifts. That sign reads: Gen
tlemen need not remove their hats in this
elevator"
It seems strange that such sign should
be posted up in any elevator. Why should a
gentleman not remove his hat in such con-
veyancc2 Because you are generally in a hurry
when Won enter, says Hustle; because it is a
silly practice at best, says Bustle.
/ am not pleading for overcourtesy, which is
another name for insult. but | cannot see how
anyone can condemn any custom intended to
show the gentleman's respect to a lady. Surely,
this is the purpose Of the dofing OF ones
Lat in an elevator.
Then, too. the elevator IS different from a
stairway or a street car; it is practically a
room. What would YOU think if you saw a
sign in q psrlor telling you that you need
not remove your hat? This seems 70 be a
courtesy with great deal 10 recommend it.

The Dublin Castle Incident.

Great is the sensation which has been
created not only in Ireland, but like
wise throughout the United Kingdom,
by the action of King Edward when at
Dublin the other day he granted pre-
cedence to the Roman Catholic Arch
bishop of Dublin, Dr. Walsh. over the
Protestant Archbishop OF Armagh. who
is the Anglican pTimate of Ireland, at
the levee held at Dublin Castle. In
fact, Archbishop Walsh was accorded
the pas" Immediately after the white
haired lord high chancellor OF Ireland.
before any of the other great digni-
taries and mobiles present at this cere-
mony.
In paying this compliment to Arch
bishop Walsh King Edward took the
ground that. whereas. DR.. Alexander has
only been Anglican Archbishop of Ar
magh. and Protestant primate of Ire
land since 1896. Dr. Walsh has been
Archbishop OF Dublin for close upon
twenty years.
1t was the first time that a Roman
Catholic Archbishop OF Dublin, or for
the matter Of that Roman Catholic
dignitary Of any kind or description.
had ever crossed the threshold OF Dub
lin Castle, where for so many hundred
years "Popery" ranked as treason to
the crown.

Nj. TTaCeWell'S Decision.
Is the District Government Merely an
Agency of Congress?

The decision of Comptroller Trace
well that the municipal corporation of
the District of Columbia Is only an
agency of Congress for the admins
tration of its legislative acts is one
which, if held TO be correct, places the
people of Washington in a much
more dependent and helpless condi-
ton than they have ever been sup
posed 10 occupy. 1t would seem to de
PTlve the local authorities Of much of
the power they have been allowed to
exercise in their own discretion. In
the particular case in which the deci-
sion Is made 1t is especially unfortu-
nate. To abolish the detention camp
and provide no place for its present
occupants would not only be danger
Gus to them, but perhaps a menace to
the public health. Furthermore. if
there IS to be no place where victims
OF contagious diseases may be isolat-
ed, an outbreak of smallpox or other
infectious disease might cause an cpl
demic. The question is therefore a
serious one.
Fortunately the decision Of the
Comptroller is not in accord with the
opinion of the Department of Justice
as given by Attorney General Griggs
five years ago. Mr. Griggs then de-
clared that the courts had held that
the District of Columbia is a NUM-
opal corporation proper as dis
tinguished from a corporation estab-
hshed as an agency of the Government
creating 1t. Under this construction Of
the law there ought to be no doubt as
&c the right of the District authorities
tC rent buildings for such purposes as
TIE establishment of a detention camp
without direct authorization from
Congress. 1t Is doubtless under this
decision that the Commissioners have
been acting when paying the annual
rental for the building now used, and
II Is 10 be hoped that for the sake of
public health, as well as for the safety
Of the unfortunate inmates of the in
stItution at this time, they were act
ing properly.
Aside from this fact the point
raised Is an interesting one, and one
which should be settled definitely in
order that the status Of the local GOV
eminent may be fixed.

A Short Campaign
Is It Advisable to Lessen the Time OF
the National Canvass?

Judge Alton 3. Parker has broken
his Judicial, and perhaps judicious
silence on political questions long
enough to suggest the ACCESSIBILITY of
q shorter Presidential campaign next
year. and in some quarters the sug-
gestIon he makes Is well received.
Judge Parker has had experience in
conducting State campaigns and hence
speaks with some knowledge Of the
subject He believes that the old
fashioned, long-drawn-out contests are
not necessary IN modern times, when
the daily paper finds It's way into
almost every household, when the
rural free delivery system places cam
raign literature al the farmers door.
when a campaign orator may canvass
an entire State making a score of
speeches from the rear platform Of a
railroad train and thus reach an
audience Of many thousands in a
single day, and when in general in
telhgence Is diffused with such amaz-
ing rapidity as at present. The pro-
longed campaign, he thinks, was best
suited TO the people of two genera
tons ago, before the days of rail
roads, telegraphs, good mail facili-
ties and great daily newspapers, and
