was nothing to be done but explain things.
When the expiana ion came there was moth
ing for Mr.. Foraker to do but show that a
little more care originally on Mr.. Hoar's
part-a little clearer expression of a har-
bored meaning-would have prevented all
the trouble. 1t is all over. and each SEN
ator is assured of the distinguished consid-
Grafton of the ether. Mr.. Hoar's vote for
the canal treaty has been as certain from
the start as a boys dime is for ginger
bread
This, however, carries comfort to the
democrats The readiness with which they
fell in behind what they considered Mr..
Hoars leadership must continue for some
time to give them moments of pain. Mr..
German, In particular. may, with much
cause, nurse the feelings of a much in
jured man. 1t all seemed SO incontestibly
clear. Mr.. German heard a great lawyer
laundering at the administration, and be-
ing no lawyer himself aid not doubt that
here was something radically wrong. AS
presidential candidate he was out for
issue, and here was one providentially
raised for him by the other side. The
rest, in the impressive phrase of the PAM
phleteer. is history. Mr.. German took up
Mr.. Hoar's cry, appealed to the south on
finds the very life taken out of it by Mr..
Hoar himself. 1t is this sort of thing
which. like death. reminds US all that we
are mortal.
1t is reasonably certain that in future
Mr.. Hoar's differences with his party will
be more carefully examined by the demo-
Gratis before being adopted for rallying
cries. When the Massachusetts, senator
expressed the fear that the downfall of
the republic would date from the first term
of President Mckinley. the democrats re-
doubled their assaults on the governments
policy in the Philippines, only to see him
support the dictator for second term, and
hear him eulogize William Mckinley as one
of the purest and wisest of men. So now,
after that lead, which so appallingly mis-
led Mr.. German and others. in this canal
business. Mr.. Hoar approves of all that has
been done, and lauds Mr.. Roosevelt to the
skies. Mr. Hoar is not pranking with the
democrats, but the effect on them at times
is much as if he were.

The Vice Presidency.

constituents as opposed to the use of his
name in connection with the vice presi-

A Liberal Budget.

Apart from the question of how the Dis
trict is to pay for its permanent works the
newly reported appropriation bill is unde-
niably liberal to the capital in point of it's
totals this year. 1t carries S1O.O59 OIL
which is 81, 442 022 more than was carried
by the bill of last year, the current law, at
the corresponding stage. It is also salts
factory in regard to its totals and it's gen
eral contents in respect of other COMPARE
sons. Thus last years bill, at this stage,
was $.2oo,323 less than the Commissioners
estimates, whereas this years bill is only
S2,S2o,to4 less than the estimates, although
those of this year are the highest on rec
ord Again. this bill is $1,3O5, $50 larger
tnan the current law, while the bill of last
year was SS45.S74 less than the then current
law. This bill. as already stated, is s., Az, :
U22 larger than its predecessor at the same
stage, while that same predecessor was
less by $126,S39 than the bill of the year
previous, at the same stage.
All these comparisons and the details of

dealt in a spirit of real Hberality with the
Districts needs. OF course. the taxpav ers

ment involved in the provisions for great
works, but they are glad at the same time
TO see the current provisions more nearly
equal to the real needs than ever before.
This bill. indeed. in its general aspects. is
the most satisfactory that has emerged
from the House appropriations committee in
many years 1t bespeai<s a painstaking ex-
ANIMATION OF details and a sincere desire to

The Venezuela Award.

From the New York Times.
The world must bow to the decision of
The Hague tribunal, according preferential
privileges to the three powers, Great Bril-
tain, Germany and Italy. in the collection
OF their claims against Venezuela. 1t is not
Incompatible with the respect we owe to the
court however, to say that the people of
the United States will regard the decision
with the same feeling of surprise and regret
that was occasioned by the extraordinary
finding of King Oscar of Sweden in the Sa-
moan controversy. We will not say that
this decision makes it less probable that
controversies of American origin will hence
forth be referred to The Hague for settle
ment. but we are decidedly of the opinion
that this award will incline us to take
serious thought about the measures by
which We may best prevent the raising of
international questions relating to South
American republics of nature likely to in

 T do and the young woman has lived here three weeks She came from our old home in Sweden" explained the young man.
 What is your name?" asked the clerk. John Olsen"
 The young man gave his age and other necessary data until he came to the age of the young woman, You say that she is eighteen?" repeat ed the clerk.
 ''Yes" hesitated Olsen. "she will have c birthday tomorrow and we want to get mar ried on her birthday"
 "The law says that we can not issue the license until the young woman is eighteen years old." remarked the clerk with a tone of sorrow in his voice.
 But we shall not get married until she is eighteen" persisted Olsen.
 But you are compelled to make affidavit today that she is eighteen before the lciense can be issued." replied the clerk.
 'Oh. well. then don't want it." said Olsen. "I did want 1t bad. though"
