The Talk Of EARLY Adjournment.

Evarvthius Is moving so we'll in Congress.
tbere ia suggestion here and there of an
early adjournment. May l is proposed.
That would give both sides an opportunity
Tn 90 over the work of the session thor
oughly before the national conventions
meet, and bring the record to bear In It's
entirety on the platforms. Moreover, MEM
bers of the House seeking renominalloh
would be able to take personal command
Of their campaigns at home all the sooner;
and that is a point of Importance In spir-
tied contest.
Business is in very good shape in both the
Senate and House, and. as is well KNOWN
the majority leaders are anxious that as
little as possible be done outside OF the ap-
preparation bills. Several measures OF mo-
ment are on the stocks. but just preceding
the opening of presidential campaign Is
not good time to launch them. The tarin
revision and the ship subsidy bill are Ger
tain to go over. The, service pension Dill.
if 1t energies from the committee room, WILL
at least encounter difficulties, and the For
aker trust measure Is as good as dead. .Tne
way seems clear enough for the supply bills
although some of them will afford the MI
nority an opportunity to play little poll
tics.
But May L Is d very carry udtc. "A AAAoiAsAA
later would still be early, as the record
shows. AS promisingly as the session may
open and advance, there is usually hitch
in one house or the other or in both. which
keeps Congress at work until the hot
weather is at hand. A little talk no larger
than a mans tongue will sometimes spread
until everybody is in turn recognized. and
DAYS are consumed. We should not be TOO
confident in our calculations, therefore,
simply from the fact that at present the
supply bills are in good shape and short
session Is favored.
Then there is the Russo-Japanese war,
which may or may not spread beyond the
limits outlined. 1t Is very improbable today
that any other powers will become involved
But that Is not absolutely certain. II un-
foreseen complications should set up, and
grave danger to the general peace begin to
threaten. Congress would hardly be ex-
pected to hurry to adjournment. The ma
tional interests might require some prompt
action at its hands, and If 1t were in session
the public would feel the more secure.

War and Public Education.

War as a partial Offset to Its evils
- q great educator. In these days of
cables and wireless telegraphy and rapid
printing processes and unlimited news
gathering enterprise the world is kept fully
acquainted with the details of the military
movements In a manner to famiAarize mill
lions of people with the geographical facts
OF far distant regions of which they have
previously had only the faintest glimmer-
ings of information This was conspicu-
ously Illustrated in the case of the Dewey
victory May /, 1898, in the harbor of
Manila. 1t is safe to say that few hours
before that stroke was announced in this
country the great majority of the people
had but the most hazy notion of where the
Philippines were. or where Manila was To-
Gated Within Il week the whole country
had been informed in such detail that the
lesson was never to be forgotten. OF course
we had an acute personal interest in the
situation there. and the subsequent months
of fighting on land pointed the lesson with
many painful periods.
The Boer war, too. wfdened the horizon
for great numbers of people. In few
weeks after the negotiations reached the
acute stage the map OF the southern end
of Africa had become as familiar to the
Names of places never before heard of
were in the mouths of the men who gath
cred In places of public resort, and in
social circles women talked freely and in
diligently of the intimate details of the
campaign. In 1900 the siege of the lega-
lions at Picking gave the western world
close acquaintance with the geography of
that part of China, and despite the diff
Guilty of Identifying the names of places,
owing to their remarkable formation, a
permanent lesson was taught.
Now the scene is shifted slightly to the
east and north. The great Siberian region
will be scanned and the maps of Manchuria,
Korea and Japan will become so well
known that the dispatches will be read
with easy understanding. When it is all
over the world will have acquired a store of
new facts which will eventually be of
practical service.

There ought to be very general burial

wire burial will be much heavier In another

Secretary Shaw as Harmonizer.

Secretary Shaw is probably not seeking
ia harmonize the two factions of the demo-
cratic party. but he made a point In his ao-
dress at Chicago last night which 1t might
nav the two factions to consider
The reorganizers contend that, in the light
of DEVELOPMENTS 1t would be as absurd as
IL would be bad politics to reaff1rm the Nam
sas City platform There is no scarcity
now of money of redemption. Yields OF
gold have been large. and the promise Is
that they will continue So All talk. there-
fore, of the free and unlimited coinage Oh
silver at 16 to is without excuse NO
party seriously proposing such thing couio
hore for success at the polls. while 10 pro-
pose it this year simply because 1t was pro-
posed in 1896 and 1900 would be to forfeit all
resoect. If the financial question must De
prominently mentioned In the PLATFORM let
the terms employed be in consonance with
the existing situation, and the verdict that
has twice been rendered by the people.
Now comes Mr. Shaw and points out that
~ tho democracy cannot return to the Kan
sas City platform for its financial plank. II
can no more return to the Chicago PLATFORM
of 1892 for its tariff plank. In that year the
democracy declared against protection as
being not only an unwise. but an unconstf-
tutional policy. 1t was asserted that Con-
gress had no authority to impose the policy
on the country. The promise of course was
that the democracy if intrusted with power
would cut up protection root and Dranch'
and write a tariff for revenue only. 1t
came into power. but repudiated Its prom
Use. The Wilson bill, as it passed the House
in 1894 was far from being tariff for rev.
enue only measure, while the changes In II
that Mr.. German made In the Senate were
all In recognition of the virtue of protection
as q national policy. The tariff plank OF the
pla form of 1892 went by the board.
If events have shown that Mr.. Bryan is
no money sharp, they likewise have shown
that Mr.. Cleveland is no tariff sharp. The
country has declared no more emphaticaly
in favor of the gold standard than In favor
of protection. Free silver and free trade
stand equally discredited-the former by a
popular discussion Of the subject, the latter
by the breakdown of those who had pledged
themselves to put 1t into practice. A new
deliverance on both Of these important
questions Is undoubtedly necessary; and as
the Bryan people are to be corrected on the
one hand and the Cleveland people on the
other. why should either side be shame
faced about confessing to the other the
errer of the past?, Peccayi IL the word for
both.

A Revised Ambition.

eff owned the EARTH I often think
Ofthe wonderful things I'd do
I'd have reform ere an eye could wink,
And establish a system new.
I'd make it a place of peace and joy,
OF song and of simple mirth
There'd be nothing to fret us or annoy,
If I only owned the earth.
And the man that said so dreamed one
night
That he owned it. The price was paid.
And he issued his edicts left and right
Which mostly were disobeyed.
And the people doubted his purpose kind,
And they struck! And he found his berth
Was hard. He was glad when he woke to
find
That he didn't own the earth

City Trees.
From the st. Louis Republic.

FrOn Tue {. LOUIS hepuDHC
Public interest in tree planting increases
as a result of the missionary work done by
civic organizations Information supplied
for taking care of and preserving trees has
shown to householders and property own
ers how they may invest little money In
this way and derive lasting benefits of sew
erai kinds. 1t is unnecessary to illustrate
these benefits Every one who has seen
grove or a tree, or q treegirt avenue, appre-
ciates the advantages which are obtainable
by adding the beauties of nature to the
artificial charms of the city. A city without
trees is dull and uninviting.

On the Chesapeake.
From the New York Tribune.

From the New York Tr1bune.
Tales of kidnapping, i'll treatment and
even of barbarous cruelties come in such
numbers concerning the condition Of things
on many oyster boats in Chesapeake bay
that the stories of the atrocities Of the press
gangs in the eighteenth century are brought
irresstibly to mind. Some Of the shippers
of these craft seem to be little better than
the freebooters Of the time Of Bluebeard,
and the strong arm of the law should pun
ish such scoundrels.
