Anti-Tlood Money Needed Now.

The situation with regard to the posi-
bility of flood in this city in consequence
of tha ice gorged Potomac is such that the
welfare of the capital will be best served
by the grant of an immediate appropriation
by Congress to be available to clear the
stream when the emergency actually arises.
The river is closed to navigation ut this
point. and the ice is steadily growing
thicker Should thaw of several days oc-
eur this ice would undoubtedly break sud
denly and it is more than an even chance
that without the prompt employment of
strong measures dam would form at the.
Long bridge, with the consequent flooding
of the lower portions of the city. just now
the danger of such blockade at the bridge
is graver than usual. with the piers of the;
new railway bridge, standing a few yards
upstream from the rock-surrounded founda-
tons of the old structure. 1t is entirely
conceivable that IL the means are not In

MI. BRYAN, Traveller and Politician.

On Saturday evening Mr. Bryan AT ms
hotel in New York appeared in two roles.
First the traveller returned. He was af-
fable. Joyous and philosophical He had
seen many interesting things and met
many interesting people. and was fuii OF
talk about them. Ills experiences had mel
lowed and informed him, and all he SAID
was entertaining. His chat with the Presi-
dent of France. his thirty minutes with the
car his fourteen hours with Tolstoy, anu
his hurried handshakes with smaller fry. all
gave point to some observations which pre-
scented Mr.. Bryan in an attractive light IL
may be said, too, that when he Celebrates
these themes he promises to do at an
early day. he will be worth reading upon
what to him Will be new lines of disserta-
ton.
Secoud there was the political leader who
had not been away from home. As soon as
politics was mentioned the Bryan OF the
hustings instantly appeared. armed cap-a-
pie and eager for the fray. He spoke the
language of his tribe. Nothing he had seen
abroad had exercised the slightest influence
ON his opinions of American policies. He
was prepared to admit that the party should
take a stand on new questions, but he was
ntamant on the. subject of abandoning its
stand on the old ones. The Kansas City
platform is. within it's compass, stil good
enough for him. and he will resist all eff
forts either to repudate or forget it. Such
was his reply to the purport of. and the
sentiments expressed at. the Tammany
dinner.
There need be no surprise at this. AS
Secretary Hay might say, il runs with the
man. Time nor travel can wean him from
the deiverances that gave him his oppor-
tunity. Mr.. Bryan still harks back TO Chi
cago and Kansas City. when he was cock of
the walk and his crow set the pitch for the
whole barnyard. Evidently, lie has no
thought of changing his key to suit any
body. He Is going into the next national
convention to fight for what he thinks the
party still should advocate But if he loses
there if. in spite of all his efforts and elo
Quence. the reorganizers secure control of
the convention and write a platform and
nominate a candidate in practical OPPOSE
tion 10 what the country knows as Bryan
ism will Mr.. Bryan submit then and sup
port the ticket? That as young Hamlet
would say, is the question. And the ques
ton is with Mr.. Bryan and the future.

Democrats Assembling.

The democratic national committee now
assembling here for a bit of routine BUSH
ness is composed of some of the ablest and
most experienced men in the party. and we
may probably look for wise decision from
it as to both the time and place for holding
the national convention. There is expecta-
ton in some quarters that line may be Sc
cured on presidential preferences Of MEM
bers. and information gathered bearing on
the matter of the platform. Surrounding
the committee will be platoon of party
workers and advisers. some Of them ia
nous for their skill and success. The COM
mittee will complete its mission probably In
two days. 1t need not and should not
hurry. Washington is comfortable town
in all seasons. and most interesting one
when Congress Is In session. Why not
spend the week with us. gentlemen, and go
over the whole situation slowly and calmly ?
This will be your last meeting prior to the
nominating convention.

The Secretaryship Of War.

From the New York Times.
Mr.. Roots administration of the War
Department is a striking confirmation Of
Dr. Johnson's theory that genius is great
general ability. accidentally directed to a
particular pursuit." Particularly it is a
confutation of what has been the current
theory of the military profession, that the
Secretary of War should be professional
soldier, in order fairly to represent and
to meet the needs of the army. In our
service this theory may have arisen from
an army tradition, which survived the civil
war. and which some "old mustache' may
even up to the time of Mr.. Roots accession
have been overheard to repeat, that Jeffer-
son Davis was 1.-The best Secretary of War
we ever had" he having had the advan-
tages of being a West Pointer and of having
commanded a regiment of volunteers dur
ing the Mexican war. Mr. Roots admin
istration has made an end of that partic-
ular superstition. For, acceptable as it has
been to the general public, it has been
peculiarly and enthusiastically acceptable
to the army.
