Il seems to believe that 1t is In the best pos
sible position to Judge when the District
needs a little more money for snow and ice
work. But the unfortunate part of this
method-apart from its stinginess-is that
often several days must elapse before the
ponderous congressional machine can be
sufficiently turned over to yield the requi-
site few thousands to pay for the snow
shoveIers.
Badly managed though New York has
been in the past, not even the least ef-
ficient Tammany government failed to keep
on hand enough money to make at least a
good start against the snow banks. In this
city, proclaimed to all the world as an
ideally managed municipality. there should
be constantly available such fund that the
streets could be cleared of snow. and es-
pecially of slush, in record time from the
first moment Of opportunity.

The Locomotive at Cincinnati.

M. e. Ingalls,. president of the Big Four
railroad spoke at democratic meeting in
Cincinnati last night, and said on the sub
ject of the isthmian canal:
But we believe we could have waited for
a year or two, if necessary, yea, five years,
rather than to have stained the national
honor.
Yea. my lord, you could have waited, and
waited patiently, for fifty years. In fact.
In railroad circles there is no limit to the
patience on this subject No Grape would
be tied to the doors of railroad coaches If
the canal should be abandoned altogether.
But the patience elsewhere had reached Its
limit The people wanted the canal, and
the President, in availing himself of an OPP
portunity to secure 1t through negotiations
with responsible government, responded
to their wishes. And he is probably as good
judge of the national honor as Mr.. Ingalls,.

that II the state Is to remain In the repub-
lican column all fractional quarrels must
cease and all hands go to work. The result
is that the republicans are already awake,
from the Battery to Buffalo. and are not
likely to drop or to sleep again. The full
requirements Of the case are spread out be-
fore them. Mr.. Roosevelt Is to be the can
didate. and the party expects every man to
do his duty.
1t is probably safe, then, to discount Mr..
Suffers burning words OF confidence. New
York. today, Is not lost to either party. It
is valuable ground to be fought for. The
republicans believe they could win without
it. but they want it. and are preparing to
fight for it. The democrats must have 1t In
order to win. and their preparations for the
contest are in accordance with the recogni-
ton Of that fact.

Menace Of General War.
From the New York Tribune.


The menace of war increases. Russia and
japan are both openly and urgently pre-
pairing for it. Diplomats at all the capitals
of the world confess that they expect it.
Beyond question, its occurrence in the i'm
mediate future seems strongly probable.
Moreover. the menace, not only of war, but
OF the extent and importance of the war,
increases. A conflict between Russia and
japan alone would be tremendous. But
each of them has powerful ally, bound by
solemn convention to join in the fray IN
case of a contingency which it might be
hard to avoid. Indeed, without such alli-
ances and such treaties SO closely are the
interests of western Europe concerned in
the dispute that 1t would be difficult for
these powers to avoid participation in the
war. In BRIEF the threat of war between
Russia and Japan might easily be trans
formed into a general European war. With
out indulging In fanoiful alarms, 1t must be
said that the world Is today confronted
with the possibility of such a menace. In
the face of it, what Is being done to avert
the unspeakable catastrophe2

'I say to you in all sincerity tonight that
New York state will surely go democratic

the democratic column means the election
of a democratic President There Is no
doubt about New York. The empire state
Is safe for democracy. The republican party
there is hopelessly divided. and the fight be-
tween the senior senator and the governor
for control Of the party machinery is the
most bitter ever waged, and even republi-
cans now admit that the state Is lost to
their party beyond recovery. It is politi-
cal axiom that without New York state the
republicans cannot win-and this means a
democratic President and the beginning Of
the end Of the final dissolution Of the re-
publican party"
Mr.. Suizer should be careful or he win
injure New Yorks effort to name the demo-
cratic candidate for President Too great
cockiness will spoil the game. The proper
representation OF the matter is, not that
New York In certain for the democracy, but
that the state is promising IL the right New
York man Is nominated and the right sort
of platform written. Otherwise the breth-
rem Of the south and the west may be In
duced to think more favorably of Mr. Cor

Judge Parker or Mr.. Hearst. II the battle
is already won so far New York is con-
cerned then what is left of either the Par
ker or the Hearst boom? Those two candi-
dacies rest almost exclusively on the propo-
sition that New York is a doubtful state
and cannot be carried for the democracy
except by favorite son with strong hold
on the party organization.
And. really, is not that about the size Of
it? The republicans are at present very
much divided. and there is much wagging
of the head over the situation. But they
are taking the proper course about the mat
ter. They are not shutting their own eyes

Snow and slush in the Streets.

The reasons advanced by the superintend-

Stunning that they have deliberately rejected

The 4:3O Order.

The decision Of the cabinet officers to keep
the government clerks at their desks until
4:30 o'clock each working day save in the
summer has a bearing upon the social and
business phases of life among thousands
of people at the capital. 1t is,. indeed, OF
very far-reaching consequences. sufficiently
important to warrant the serious considera-
ton which, reports assert, was given to It.
Aside from the personal convenience of the
thousands of clerks. whose sentiments on
the subject may easily be imagined without
particular inquiry. this new move affects
the greater part Of the population of Wash
ington. The whole schedule must be re-
adjusted. Must the time honored soc OK
dinner be abandoned after many decades
of observance? Shall departmental WASH
ington now be forced to adopt the 60 clock
or 7-o'clock dinner. with its suggestions OF
Formally and evening dress? Are the good
old days Of the homely family meal. eaten
without fuss and feathers" gone forever
Then too. it is certain that the street
railway and steam railroad schedules must
be changed to suit the new conditions
Trains which now leave town at 4:S0 to
take out the committing clerks must be
shifted to clock. other trains to be given
new departing times in accordance. The
railroad officials must now get down to
hard work to plan fresh schemes of trans
port for the army of suburban jewellers.
And the city car lines will be doubtless
more seriously congested in the afternoon
within a shorter space Of time than now
during what is technically known as the
"office rush." For the desire to get homa
will be more pressing now than previously
and the great body Of clerks must be moved
outward from the departmental centers in
half an hour less of daylight time.
The business houses. too, will feel the
necessity Of a readjustment. inasmucn as
the great afternoon flood of departmental
life is responsible for a large part Of the
days trade. If this business is to be taken
care of with the same facility as heretofore
larger forces Of clerks may be necessary.
The hours of the clerks may have to be
heightened. The wage question may have
to be taken into account.
The ethical and legal phases Of the ques-
ton must be relegated to the clerks them
selves. They are Of course not enthu-
siastic in their reception Of the news. even
though the requirement of an added half
hour is modified by the promise Of a gem
uine Saturday half holiday during the sum-
mer months.

When you're done your little duty
And you're waiting for a phrase
OF passing commentator,
Just to tighten up the days;
When you're feeling rather pleasant
Ger some slight success you've found
That is always the occasion
When the kicker comes around.
He's the thorn that spofls the roses,
He's the fly dropped in the milk,
He's the glazing imperfection
In the weaving Of the silk
There is sunlight In the heavens,
There are blossoms on the ground,
And the world was rich in beauty

From the Springfield Republics.

The steady pressure Of the iron hand of
Russia on Finland, which will sooner or
later crush out all feeling of nationality
apart from the empire Of the car, is Illus
trated in the gradual extension Of the Rus
sian inquisitorial system to the libraries
and reading rooms of the Finnish province.
All publications that might be calculated
to foster notions Of independence are con-
f1scated, and the repeated possession of
books condemned by the authorities Is

A Strong Opposition.
From the Philadelphia Press.

There was one point Of Mr.. Olney's speech
at the Mcclellan dinner in which all will
concur. Government by party under free
popular institutions requires for its best
development and security virile, efficient
and rational opposition. It has been a mis-
fortune that for many years this vital need
has not been realized in our country. The
democratic party under Its later reckless
and irresponsible leadership and under its
wild and fantastic vagaries has not fulfilled
the function.
