A Return to Mediaevalism.

From the New York Evening Post
There is touch of mediaevalism in the
latest news from Washington regarding
the post Office investigation. The select
committee yesterday summoned the Tribune
correspondent, whom 1t believed to be re-
spOnsible for the publication of the report
prepared by the post Office committee of the
House, and asked him where he got his
information. He refused to say more than
that his facts did not come from member
of the committee on post offices and post
roads. Thereupon. Mr.. Richardson of Ala
bama proposed that he be imprisoned In the
sub-basement of the Capitol until he came
to his senses. This plea for the conversion
of the Capitol into a castle of Chillon did
not strike the other members favorably.
Representative HIT who is more familiar
with the heroic qualities of newspaper men
than his associate. pointed out that no ding
could be accomplished by such means, and
Representative Metcalf reminded the COM
mittee that it was appointed to investigate
the conduct of members of the House and
not that of the Tribune.

Mr.. Clark on the Tariff.

Mr.. Clark of Missouri is well employed
is stirring up the standpatters. They de-
serve it, and should benefit by 1t. There
is need of tariff revision. A number of the
schedules of the Dinsley law might and
should be overhauled for the benefit of the
country. They were prepared for and I'M
der conditions which have entirely passed
away. They put an end to those condi-
tons. Why, therefore. should we continue
to apply such schedules when in doing so
We levy duties no longer necessary for
the purposes originally in view? Sufficient
unto the era and the business conditions
are the schedules thereof
AT the same time Mr.. Clark should in all
candor be little more specific. When he
declares there Is no free trade party in this
country he Is eminently right. but he ought
to explain why. There was such a party,
and Mr.. CLARK was member of ii. What

became of 1t? 1t persisted as the result OF
the test of official responsibility. 1t won
national victory on promises which 1t could
not redeem, and the exposure of the emptf-
ness of its proclamations made it a laugh
ing stock
Its leaders then faced about. and the
most eminent of them are now conceding
that there is something in protection The
clamor for razing the customs houses to the
ground has ceased, and matters have pro-
gressed SO far that Henry Watterson. once
the Prince Rupert Of the free trade hosts,
is riding behind Mr.. German and acknowl-
edging the Maryland man as his leader
Still. there is something left Of the old
folly. and 1t takes the form now of the
proposition that the tariff is the mother Of
trusts. and that all trust-made articles
should be put on the free list. Men who
advocate that policy are as unwise as when
they were taking tilt at protection as a
general principle. They have still to learn
thoroughly their tariff lesson, and until they
do learn it they can hardly expect the
country to accept them as guides and re-
sponsble legislators in the great field of
national taxation.
Protection has performed an invaluable
service for us, and much remains for it to
do. Conditions are constantly changing,
and as they change tariff schedules neces-
sarily must change with them. But when
ever the work becomes necessary 1t should
be undertaken voluntarily by those who
subscribe to protection because of positive
belief and not be left to those who are
''protectionists'' as the result Of defeat at
the polls while campaigning on free trade
lines

Avenue Sites for Public Buildings.

1t was unfortunate that any one should,
through lack of the facts in the case,
have sought in the course of the debate in
the Senate yesterday on the public building
question to cast aspersiOns upon the charac-
ter of the founda tions and the safety of
Easements within the ICE bounded by the
avenue and the mall. Despite the correction
of statements made along that line and
Senator Fairbanks declaration that he had
been informed by telephone that the base
ment of the post Office had never been
flooded, as was charged, the impression
might linger that the entire southern side
of Pennsylvania avenue is too far below
the sewer level to afford a safe place for
Important structures. 1t is true. as was
asserted in the debate, that the avenue has
been flooded. 1t Is true that sewers have
backed their waters into the streets. and
that in the old days 1sements and cellars
have been filed with water from these
causes. But that time is past, and there
is today no danger whatever, even with
the Long bridge still serving as a potential
darn to flood the lower portions of the city,
that the structures south Of the avenue. II
properly built. Will suffer from this cause.
Since the last avenue flood the sewer sys-
tenn has been greatly improved. There is
now in process of construction sewage
pumping plant which will still further
lessen the difficulty of draining the lower
areas of lie city. The bridge dam, rendered
less menacing by Improved methods of ice
breaking, is soon to be removed. The time
is at hand when We nington can snap its
fingers at the floods and give no anxious
thought whatever to it's subterranean
stories. Building processes are now such
that deep Easements can be carried below

The District Democracy.

Mr.. James L. Norris is again a storm
center. Waves of excitement are breaking
around him. Does he stand upon a rock?
Will he survive the fury of the elements?
Or are his feet in the sands, and will he
measure his length on an insecure fOunda-
ton?
The question may be asked, Why this
turmoil over a national committeeman
when the committee meets SO seldom
and has so little to do? OF what i'm
portance will the member from the District
of Columbia be after the st. Louis con-
vention has adjourned? Unlike member
from a state, he will not return home to
help whoop up the boys for voting pur-
poses, for we have no votes. We look on
with lively interest, indeed, but still are
shorn of that greatest of incentives to po-
litical activity, the ballot.
Nevertheless the District committeeman
has his uses during the campaign, and they
are not to be despised. If he is a man of
note at home and in touch with the bust
ness world, he serves his party well as
collector of the sinews of war for applica-
ton where the war is raging. The people
of the District of both parties are liberal
contributors to campaign funds, and there
is wisdom in appealing to them in the
proper way and through popular and
engaging agent. Passing the hat is meas
urably a fine art, and all the requirements
of the case should be carefully attended to.
This explains the activity, the tireless
strenuosity, of the Norris people. They
put him forward as a capital man for that
business. He takes lively interest in pol
tiles, and as a successful man of affairs
has the ear of the money classes. AS his
friends insist, he is the very man for the
post. Still, it must not be forgotten that
in this campaign this matter does not rise
to it's usual significance. If the trusts tri-
umph at st. Louis there will be money to
burn in behalf of the ticket, while if Mr..
Hearst wins there will certainly be no lack
of it.
We may safely discount the passions and
the heated language of the moment. Both
parties are aroused, and neither is alto
gether judicious in its deliverances about
the other. There are excellent men and
very clever politicians on both sides. Let
the battle go on. Keep the pool stirred.
Apathy is bad for the blood. and particu-
larly in the spring. No apathy. No DOM
iEation of Indifference.
