Property at Auction.

The large attendance found at auction
sales of real estate at this time is looked
upon by auctioneers as indicating strong
interest on the part of the public. The
prices secured clearly show that the people
who attend are not merely spectators. AS
far as can. be determined the buyers OF
real estate at auction at this time are of
two classes-frst, the home buyers, and,
second, those who are in search of a profit
able investment for their money Accord
ing to the experience of auctioneers, the
demand at present seems to be largely for
what may be termed low-priced improved
property. Houses that can be sold for
about $4,000 and less appear to be in the
greatest demand.

One can get u glimpse without going far
from the plaza ofsthe Capitol of the work
that is going on In the southern section Of
the city which WIN result in q tunnel un-
der Capitol Hill to the new union depot
to the north Of The Capitol for the use
of the trunk lines entering the city from the
south. To the month there is a wide strip
of vacant land Whish Is swarming with men
and punctuated with derricks, and here the
rapid progress of making the new steam
railroad terminal can be seen to advantage
Portions of the masonry viaduct are in
place, and excavations have been made and
great mounds aof earth have been carted
away, so that the Sine of the new roadway
as far south az Massachusetts avenue Is
now assuming come form and shape. SINH
lar operations are going on beyond Florida
avenue and through lexington, and to the
juncture of the western and northern lines
of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. 1t
seems probable that the expectations will
be realized, and that it will be possible to
use the new terminal for handling the great
crowds that will be here in
March of next year.

Disagrecable Figures.
New York Times.

New York Times.
 The Treasury figures for August con tain some items that cannot be entirely agreeable to the Administration. At the close of the first two months of the fiscal year there is a change for the worse as compared with last year of nearly s24,ooo.000 The receipts have declined nearly $s.o0O, ,O00, and the ex~ penses have grown by some $16,000. .0OO Of this amount about $6,00O,000 is due to expenditures for the War Depart ment and some $7,O00.O to expendi- lures for the navy. or S13.O00, 900 in all.
 These are not the kind of increases that are usually expected in a time of profound peace. Seven years ago pre- oeding the Spanish war. we spent less than 5,000.000 on the army and navy. Last year we spent $21S, ,00O 900. and so far this year we have been spending s54 ,6oo,0o0 in two months, which is at the rate of S27s00, 900 a year Of course the total will not run so high as that but it will be something like three times a s great as 1t was seven years since. These are cold facts which the people, in the course of campaign in which the question of the prudence or imprudence, the peaceful or the belli- cose spirit of the Administration, are in issue can hardly fail to note.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-09-06

"Rais Uli dead:" there Is nothing about snapshot recogntions of three day old insurrections as sovereign States: there is neither the roar of guns nore the smell of saltpeter-not even a sheer at cravens and weddings. Are the Amer ican voters so constituted that those who appeal to their minds and con sciences must do so to the accompani- ment of thunderous cannonade? Must there be ginger and pepper, detonat- ing figures of speech in every argument intended to assist them in making up their minds?
 These are serious matters of which MT. Hornblower speaks, of which MT. Parker spoke in his address of accept ance. There is no more serious issue than the Constitution, and the Consti tuition Is an issue in this campaign. This is a Government of laws, not of men. On the Isthmus of Panama and in Pension Order No. IS. President Theo- dore Roosevelt has made it a Govern ment of men, not of laws. If in these three years when he was President by succession his great stride has taken him so far beyond the safe bounds ot the Constitution, if he has already trod- den upon so many of the fundamental principles, what might he be expected to do in four years term as an elected President?
 No voter need be troubled by any such doubts as to Judge Parker's course. Upon "his firm and unfiinching loyalty to law we can rely without fear or hes itation."

David B. Hnrs Life Not a Failure.

nus told NHiOHlCIe
 The more philosophic writers for the press, who do not like Hon. David B Hill, are deciding, in their critical minds. that his life is failure. UTn- doubtedly Mir. Hill aimed at the Pres idency. In that he failed. but if that be the test supreme, some of our very greatest men, Clay. Calhoun, Webster and others were failures We hold that missing the Presidency-where so few could possibly attain the prize Is not any test at all He has been Governor of New York and a United markable talent in those high posi- tons. He is an excellent lawyer. He is accounted selfish but how many pub lie men are endowed with selfsacri- are disposed to credit him with some virtues. One of them, the editor of Ihe Providence. R. l., Journal. says; for money or what money will buy. ex- cept possibly political support, has had few close political friends and fewer companions, has had no large virtues and no small vices, so far as the public and within himself entirely. No man has ever accused him of being person. ally dishonest, liquor and tobacco are alike distasteful to him and he has exhibited absolute fear, not to say aver sion, to the society of women" He might have married we'll. It is better for some men to celibate. He may be defective in the romances of the heart; but how many men have been ruined by their insane or ungovernable passions. The best off men In the last analysis, have very genuine loyal friends. Mir. Hill has probably as many s are good for him.
