The Secret of Good Building
The Reason Why Some Speculation
Blocks Here Are Unsatisfactory.

Some hundreds Of people who nave
at one time or another in the past
few years moved joyfully into the
brand-new houses which have been
going up in Washington are now
wondering what is the matter with
their homes. The question, ''What l.
home without a mother?' Is puerile
beside the tragic inquiry, "What is
home without heating apparatus 2"
There are households which, for one
reason or another, are not blessed with
inothers-they may be households
made up of a man and his wife with
a few nephews and nieces, Of two or
three brothers and sisters living to-
gether, or Of a newly married couple
IN the honeymoon stage. But none Of
these households can have the true
home feeling and shiver at the same
time. Neither Is it possible to have a
real home with all the natural delights
thereof, if there Is something the mat
ter with the sewer Even when tile
trouble is confined to such small mat
tors as the paper peeling off the wall,
the plastering falling, the furnace
generating coal gas, or the bathroom
fixtures failing to work, it mars the
pleasure Of happy home.
The trouble with these imposing
but uncomfortable abodes in which
the windows rattle and let in the cold.
the steam pipes refuse to work, and
the numerous fixtures are always get
ting out Of order, Is simply that the
architect and owner were too much in
a hurry to do the work well. 1t is not
possible, in this climate, TO put up a
house IN haste and have 1t satisfac-
tory aftervard. The walls and main
timbers need time to settle together
and become seasoned before the OF
namental woodwork, plastering, and
various fixtures are put in. 1t may
seem enterprising to have a whole
block Of three-story houses standing
where there were vacant lots a SW
months since, but it Is bad for the PEG
pie who have to live in those houses

Two years more in Congress, and the

than a decade one OF the most con-
spicuous figures in the House OF Repre-
sentatives. declares II is his purpose 10
retire from political life and take

ambition.
But for a great Democratic tidal wave
which swept over the country in 1892 and
inundated many another prominent Re
publican and carried him out of Office.
General GrosvenOr would have served
twenty years at the end Of his present
term. Eleven times he has been hon
ored by his party with nomination,
and only once has he been defeated for
election. His district IS comfortably
Republican, and as ne has a firm hold
upon il. there IS little or no doubt that
his desire 20 round out fifth Of a cen

General Grosvenor was renominated
unanimously this week. and at the con-
vention. when lhe was called upon for
q speech. among other things, he told
the delegates that after his election this
fall he would seek no further political
honors; that thereafter he would cheer
fully take his place in the ranks, ready
at all times TO do whatever he could TO

Have Waited Long.
This Is the word which a number Of
ambitious Republicans in the Eleventh
Ohio district have been waiting TO hear
for several years. Each year when they
expected to hear from him the word
that he would retire they have been
disappointed. until now it has finally
come. and when he does retire, two
wears hence. as he saws he intends to
do. there will doubtless be great
scramble for his politics footwear.
Time and again ambition ones have
sought TO organize a movement which
would defeat Mr.. Grosvenor for re-
nomination. but each time his political
cunning has put Jhe opposition quietly

Is inevitable that the advocates of an
increased navy, and the people inter
ested in internal improvements, aud
the representatives Of great industrial
interests. and the devotees of esthetic
ideals. should clash, and that the re
suits should be in some measure nj
satisfactory. Other countries have
been for centuries under the central
control which the Evening Post"
complains that we have not. In COM
ment on the results of such a govern
ment it may be opposite to cite the
pithy saying that a benevolent des-
potism is all right when the despot
is perfect and immortal.
1t Is probably true that in some
matters Strengthening of central adj
ministration would tend to economy
aid efficiency. In regard TO the army
and the navy, the diplomatic service,
and other matters affecting the credit
and interests of the country as a
whole, il is fatal to trust to the ideas
OF sectional statesmen. On the other
hand, without strong representatives
from each section the sectional inter
ests are likely to suffer The planta-
ton owner in the cotton lands cares
nothing for the lumber interests of
Michigan or the factory owners of
New England; the Pennsylvania
does not pay attention to the irriga-
ion bill which Is of interest so vital
to the people Of the Far West; the
views on foreign imports held by the
manufacturer are likely to be differ
ent from those held by the merchant
with whose trade such imports will IL
,terfere. To reconcile all these differ
ent needs and demands in such WAY
that nobody will be sighted is a task
of such tremendous difficulty that
mistakes are inevitable
Congress has made plumbers, no
doubt of it. But it has not yet made
worse blunders than the English par
lament did when the agricultural la
borer was reduced to a state of literal
starvation, scarcely seeing meat ex-
cept on holidays, or when the people
OF Ireland were driven to our shores
by famine. Our people are not worse
off than the moujiks under Russia 5
