tain eventually to be taken by the govern
ment and its presumption thus by sentiment
has had the blighting effect which is today
so deplorably In evidence. Justice to the
capital city at least demands an early
statement in positive terms of the govern
ment's purposes In this respect.
Meanwhile the public building needs are
growing more urgent each year, and next
session will find the various projects for
new constructions the more insistent be-
cause of the delay. The futility Of trying
to crowd three great departments into a
single structure Is now fairly well recog-
nized, and 1t is to be hoped that next year,
despite the shortness of the session, the
matter being even now thoroughly well
canvassed. Congress will proceed to lay
DOWN the fundamental rule that all future
public structures shall be placed between
the Mall and the avenue, and then pro-
coed to appropriate for sites for the three
buildings so sorely needed for the De-
partments of State and Justice and the
now virtually homeless Department OF
Commerce and Labor. Such an enactment
would greatly relieve the anxiety now
existing in the departments and the en-
barrassments of the administrative officers,
and It would make an excellent begin
ming on the task of bringing the govern
ment's building equipment up to date for
the first time in it's history.

Mr.. Littlefeld.

Mr.. Littlefield has laid the country under
obligations for most excellent speech on
the tariff question, which, later, it is to be
hoped. he will repeat in his own way on
the stump. His attitude is strictly in line
with the Blaine McKinley-Dingley attitude,
and he gives wholesome and unanswerable
up-to- date reasons for revising those sched-
ules of the Dingley law which have served
the purposes for which they were designed
Where there is duty still to be performed
for American labor or for deserving Ameri-
can industries he is a standpatter, but he
objects to paying bounties to such indus
tries as are not only able to stand alone
but in their strength are walking on the
necks of the people. We have heard from
this accomplished member of the Maine
delegation too infrequently at this session,
and yesterdays admirable deliverance en-
phaszes the loss the House has sustained
by his silence.

The War Situation in Asia.

The war news from the far east centers
now in two facts. that the Japanese have
effected their long delayed crossing of the
Yalu river and are now in some force on
Manchurian soil, and that the Russian war
ships at Vladivostok are free to come and
go, threatening destruction to unprotected
japanese shipping. The story about the
sinking of a japanese transport with 1000
men dwindles materially now that it has
come from official sources even at ST.
Petersburg. 1t appears from the state
ment there issued that the Russian torpedo
boats sank a japanese supply boat Of
1900 tons, and that all the ships company,
save about 1S5 men, sank with her. The
description of the vessel and the fact that
it was not accompanied by an armed con-
sort, lead to the conclusion that she was
not a troop ship, but merely provisioner.
for it appears she carried large quantities
of rice and coal, and most of those rescued
were coolies. The report fails to state how
many Japanese went down in her, although
1t does indicate that there was sacrificial
militant spirit among them. The impor-
tant fact is that the Vladivostok squadron
is once more in action.
f. The crossing of the Yalu by the Japanese
was apparently accomplished with little
difficulty or loss. The official statement
given out by the Russian general staff de-
scribes the operation as being virtually un-
checked by the defensive line on the west
bank of the river. One statement in 1t Is
significant:
There are only two instances in history
where an army was unable to cross river
that Of Napoleon at Aspern and that OF
Prince Eugene of Savoy at Lech. Both
failed because of foods The Yalu proved
no exception to the established rule"
This is obviously an attempt at justification
for allowing the japanese to gain foothold
on Manchurian soil. AS to the effect Of the
crossing of the river on the future opera
lions on land nothing can. Of course be
foretold. the Japanese guarding their plan

Public Building Legislation.

The closing session of Congress did not
materially advance the general program of
providing proper building accommodat tons
for the government. The sundry civil bill
provides for the acquisition of site ad-
Jacent to the Capitol grounds for an Of
flee building for the Senate, and II also
creates a joint committee to secure plans
for the extension of the Capitol in ac-
cordance with the so-called Walters nro-
ject. AS far as 1t goes this measure OF
results Is satisfactory, but much more so
would have been the adoutlon of some
broad. inclusive definition OF the govern
ments general policy with regard to the
placing of the public buildings of the
future, as well as an actual beginning upon
some of those most urgently needed Ow-
ing to a stubborn contest between the adj
vocates and opponents of the selection of
ieertain square adjacent to Lafayette
Park no action whatever was had on the
Fairbanks bill to locate there the proposed
triple department building. In the course
OF the debate on that measure. which at
times developed considerable spirit a pro-
nounced sentiment was disclosed in favor
of taking the whole of the great triangle
lying between the Mall and Pennsylvania
avenue and It's dedication to the govern
ment's building needs. This policy once
clearly stated would save the government
much waste of public funds in con-
tinued rentals and the payment of higher
prices for sites through the gradual accre-
uon OF values incident to the piecemeal TAX
ing OF squares within the specified area.

The Cochran Resolution.

Speaker Cannon's ruling in the matter OF
the Cochran resolution was, of course, en-
tirely correct. Whether Mr.. Cochran eX-
pected such a ruling when he offered the
resolution is beside the question Some
thing of more Importance is the fact that
his democratic colleagues were fully 1usu-
fled from a strategical standpoint In cneer-
ing him on. For they stood to win what
ever might have been disclosed by the In
quiry prior to the November elections HAD
Mr. Dalzelrs charge been sustained they
would have exclaimed, AHA! And so you
fellows were buying people in 1896. AS you
bought one, you must have bought others
How many did you buy? Be honest, now
and confess that you bought the election.
Had the charge failed, they would have ex-
claimed in a burst Of campaign Indignation
WAS ever party SO desperate? Here
was a deliberate effort to break down
man who had served 1t in 1898 with all his
might
This furry In the House recalls the his
tory of the first Mckinley campaign IN all
Of Its exciting phases. Charges of buying
and selling were freely made then. Num-
bers of prominent gold democrats were &C
cused by the silver men of having been
seem by Mr.. Hanna, who was pictured
with his pockets bullying with cash and hot
on the hunt of men willing to sell. The &C
cusations were of no force, and created at
most only amusement. They did not out
live the campaign. Few were replied to.
There was so much in the campaign call
ing for display of independence on the
part of men of strong convictions that
many men who had all their lives been
democrats openly affiliated for the first
time with the republicans. and paid no at
tention to the hullabaloo Of the spellbinders.
And four years later. under an exactly SINH
lar provocation, they did the same thing
That these charges have survived in the
case of Mr.. Cochran has naturally nettled
him. They seem likewise to have unset
tied both his judgment and his generosity.
Smarting so long as an accused, he has
turned accuser. He imputed to Mr.. Dali
zell the very thing of which he himself so
bitterly complains in his own case. And
why suggest profit against Mr.. Dalzell,
when, in supporting Mckinley, the Pennsyl-
vanian was but keeping in line with his
record of lifetime, and voting for prin-
ciples to which he had all his lifetime been
committed? However, Mr.. Dalzelrs personal
integrity had never been questioned at any
time by anybody.

arha Old ain Crowd

One objection urged to Judge Parker Is
that his election would restore the OLD
Hill crowd to office. Not necessarily.
Mr.. Hill himself would in the very nature
of things become power again. but not
all of his ieutenants would follow. II
should be remembered that Judge Parker
has a good many friends unknown 70
politics. and 1t would be but natural ana
appropriate for him to find good places
for some Of them. In the main. we may
be sure, 1t would be Parker crowd, ana
not "the old Hill crowd" who would enter
upon the enjoyment Of the fat OF the
land.
Take the case of Mr.. Cleveland, who
when he was first elected President had as
limited an acquaintance with the leaders of
his party as Judge Parker now has. The
result was that he drew upon the list Of
his personal friends, and took counsel of
new men, in filling many important places.
Daniel Manning, who had been the Hill of
his campaign, was jumped from the presi-
dency Of an Albany national bank to the
secretaryship of the treasury. w. c. Whit
ney, who had held no higher Office than that
of corporation counsel for New York city,
was made Secretary of the Navy. w. c.
Endicott, who had never been heard Of
outside, and but little inside, of Massa-
chusetts, was made Secretary of War. w.
F. Villas, unknown except as the author
of a brilliant grafton on Grant, was first
made Postmaster General and then Secre-
tary of the Interior, while Don M. Dickin-
son was brought on from a law Office in
Detroit to succeed Colonel Villas In the
Post Office Department. Desiring an &C
complished man for the difficult post at
London, Mr.. Cleveland took counsel of
Senator Edmunds and selected, upon his
recommendation, E. J. Phelps of Vermont,
of whom the country at large had never
heard. Those who had been expecting to
see the Tilden crowd come in were great
~ surprised.
If Judge Parker Is elected the country
Will undoubtedly make the acquaintance Of
many new men in prominent places Some
OF the old leaders are disqualified for age.
Others have been too extreme in fractional
dissensipns. Others have lost interest in
the game, and will not care for recogni-
ton. 1t will be a matter Of necessity,
therefore, as much as of choice, for a new
man in the White House to call new men
to his aid There will be new deal in
large measure, and many veterans-and
not all of them to be found in Mr.. Hills
train-will find the door closed to them.
The old order changeth. giving place to
new, lest one set of place-holders overfeed
at the pie counter.

Justice Pritchard.

Although one of the "outside" members
of the District Supreme Court, Justice
Pritchard was sufficiently we'll known to
the people of Washington to be regarded as
an intimate friend when he was appointed
to that position few months ago, and now
that he is to be promoted to the federal cir
cult there is genuine regret here at the
prospect of his departure from the local
bench. Although this was his first judicial
assignment, Justice Pritchard has demon
strated a high degree of capacity for such
work in the brief period of his service. and
the District cannot but feel that 1t is losing
an efficient public servant when he goes to
other fields.

The agitation of the so-called school
scandal in the public schools of Washing
ton does nothing other than air a subject
declared by the verdict of competent and
honest men to be without foundation and
brings into discredit the fair name and
fame, not only of the teachers, but of the
entire school system, until now everywhere
recognized to be the best in the world
Public opinion is universally against the
resurrecting of this dead and putrid mat
ter.
For the good repute of the community

The whole thing has reached the "usuue
ad nauseam' stage, and unless the person
or persons keeping this agitation stirred
up be summarily dealt with, there is no es-
timating the injury that may result to our
