Gov. Wright's Letter.

The anti-imperialists will probably make
short work of Governor Wright. They will
see in his latest communication to the Pres
ident only an effort to hold on to his job.
OF course he wants the flag to stay put in
the Philippines-at least for few more
years He likes his present office, and In
the event of republican success in Novem-
Der will be likely to retain it. His admin
istration is entirely acceptable to the Pres
ident. Just as Mr.. Roosevelt in the White
House has been carrying forward the poll
cies of Mr.. Mckinley. of which the country
had signified its approval Governor Wright
at Manila has been carrying forward the
highly successful policies inaugurated by
Judge Taft. If. therefore. the country in
dorses Mr.. Roosevelt, he, in turn. may be
expected to indorse Governor Wright.
And yet Governor Wright sends a mes
sage which has been within the bounds of
expectation ever since the st. Louis con-
vention. 1t was inevitable that the deliver
ance of that body on the subject Of our
presence in the Philippines should hearten
both in the archipelago and at Hong Kong
the men who have been figuring on early
independence for the islands. Those men
have been. and are now. reasoning in this
way: 1--WE are as capable as the Cubans
OF Sei1-g0Vernment, we came under Amer
lean control at the same time the Cubans
did. The Cubans. after only few years of
American direction, now in business
for themselves, and why should not we
be? Let us agitate some more. The con-
cession gained is the fruit of agitation, and
that way lies success for the early accom-
plishment of our full program"
The difficulty in the premises, both for
these Filipino agitators and for ourselves
is that the st. Louis deliverance is largely
political maneuver. 1t is concession to
faction, and a small one of the demo-
cratic party. Many of the abiest democrats
were not only not in sympathy with the
proposed scuttle plank adopted at st. Louis,
but opposed any expression on the subject
by their party which could be invested
either at home or abroad with such a mean
ing. They read our duty and our interests
in the islands precisely as the President and
Gov. Wright do.
But whatever difficulties may appear in
the Philippines the result of the st. Louis
pronouncement they must of course be met
as other difficulties there have been met.
And Gov. Wright, it is comforting to feel.
is the very man for the emergency. He
knows his ground, and has the confidence
of those who are well affected toward the
United States

The Capitol Hill Tunnel.

So radical Is the change suggested by the
engineers of the Pennsylvania railroad in
the construction of the tunnel under Capt.
toll Hill so serious are some of the possible
consequences of the adoption of the open
cut method that Ii is to be assumed that
the District Commissioners will consider
the question. when 1t Is formally submitted
to them with the greatest care and thought
for all interests. and will weigh the advan-
tages and disadvantages of the scheme with
painstakng accuracy. The law provides
merely that the southern tracks shall be
brought into the union station by means OF
a tunnel under the HILL the boundaries of
which are generally defined. Never until
the statement appeared in yesterdays Star
was there the slightest notion on the part
of the public that a change was possible by
which surface conditions would be affected.
Considered in connection with the other
terminal works. which extend northward
for at least two miles and half from the
point where the proposed trench is to be
opened, this trench project means for pc
riod almost the total isolation Of East
Washington from the body of the city, save
for the difficult access permitted at a few
widely separated points. where bridges may
be built on Capitol Hill and where trenches
have been dug in the northern range of the
work.
The problem is not merely one of the dig
grg of the trench. The dirt taken out must
be replaced later, and therefore 1t must be
boarded somewhere until the trench is
ready for refliing. This means apparently
the accumulation of great mounds of dis
figuring soil and rocks, perhaps on the
Capitol plaza. The trench would go close
to the building line on the west side of list
street, and this means probably inconve-
nience and damage 10 jewellers along that
street.
On the other hand. 1t is claimed that the
work of tunneling Capitol Hill will be much
expedited by the change, and that the tun-
mel when completed will be better con-
structed, dryer and safer.
The Commissioners are intrusted by the
law with supervision over the methods of
the railroad companies and their contrac-
tors. The plans all to be submitted to
them for approval. They have demon
strated their disposition to scrutinize those
plans in detail and to require changes when
the public interests demand. and not merely
to exercise a perfunctory jurisdiction. This
is the most important change from the gen
orally accepted project which has been
preached. and will call for the most earnest
and thoughtful consideration. The Com
missioners will doubtless examine closely
their power in the premises, concerns
the opening both of the streets and of the
Capitol plaza, and will look attentively to
the matter of the damages, to ascertain
whether the law as it now stands suffices
to assure protection to property owners or
whether it needs special Interpretation in
the form of binding agreement with the
corporation or amendment by Congress.

The People Are Calm.

senator Stone of Missouri in an intervjew
with reporter of The Star remarked yes-
terday on the apparent lack of interest in
the campaign He has had large expert
ence in politics, and recalls no time when
the people seemed so little stirred. On his
travels he finds them engaged In discussing
other topics. He does not attempt an ex-
PLANTATION, but merely offers the fact az a
fact
The appraisement of the situation NAV be
influenced somewhat by vivid memories of
the two Bryan campaigns They were lively
enough. Mr.. Bryan was the very man to
give the country shaking up; and the con-
ditions aided him. The people thought
poiltics In those years with all their might,
talked but little else, and trooped by the
thousands to meetings where men like Mr..
Bryan were holding forth. Many of them
had time for that sort of thing
1t is all very different now The people
have many things to think about First or
all, they are. as rule, pretty well OF.
Why get excited when times are so good,
and no calamity threatens? Why should
they permit spellbinders to throw them into
violent fits when they are well advised OF
what is going on in the country? And yet
this may not be, probably is not, apathy.
The polling booths in Oregon in June
showed no apathy, and certainly those In
Maine and Vermont few weeks ago
showed none. A man may be very much in
earnest and yet show no excitement
1t will be well for us as a people If 1t

some of them expressing personal chagrin
have remarked upon this. If while in
Office they go there on business they at

Office they go there to recruit their for

up in the roaring swim. They are surprised

orders from such fellow. What man
may have accomplished down here In
Washington, or elsewhere, is Of no conse-
auence in New York. Observe Charles A
Towne depending for his small part upon
the nod of Charles F. Murphy.
The story Is told Of a visiting New
Yorker who. sitting in the gallery Of the
national House with a Washington friend,
looked down patronizingly on the members
in action. Espying an acquaintance, who
at the time was representing Brooklyn
constituency. he said. rather musingly: II
wonder what on earth persuaded Clancy to
come down here. He has profitable bust

Heavens, man! Clancy's constituents
know that he has job somewhere out of
town, but Just where or what 1t is, they
neither know nor care"
The appearance of Judge Parker at Mad

would go ito please Murphy" The younger
men would all regret having to cancel en-
gagements for the vaudeville shows that
evening. If Judge Parker were to show
himself out of town-and farther away the
better-and particularly were he to take as
travelling companion so ready a talker and
SO brilliant jollier as Governor Hogg. he
might win some votes. He would certainly
