Thus far in the terminal Improvement
works the public convenience has not been
seriously disconnected. At H street how
ever. the project has now advanced to the
stage at which 1t is necessary to close that
important thoroughfare for a period of
about month to all save street cars and
pedestrians. The street was to have been
closed today. but the recent rains have set
back the excavation work, so that it will
be few more days before the vehicles are
excluded. Then. II Is promised. the con-
tractors VIII rush work night and day with
the largest possible force of men and ma
chimes to hasten the completion of the job,
so that the public may not be deprived of
the use OF this artery of traffic beyond the
actual necessity.
The people Of Washington have thus far
borne themselves with commendable pa

sances incidental to the digging and hauling
of dirt and the blockading Of thorough
fares They have breathed dust and smelled

Russia and Indemnity.

The assertion now made that Russia Is too
poor to pay an indemnity to Japan is not
worth consideration. That the war has
taxed her severely we may all believe, and
that her later efforts to secure money for
the support of her immense fighting estab-
lishment have succeeded with some diff
Guilty is probable. But money for purposes
of peace is a very different proposition. She
could secure that In a large amount The
world wants peace, and will help bring 1t
about. The question Is not one of poverty
but of pride with Russia. An indemnity is
the last full measure Of defeat. But why
should Russia hesitate to confess what is so
very apparent to all the world? She has
not only been defeated, but grows more
helpless as against Japan every day. Other
nations. with as much pride as she pos
sesses, have paid indemnity in defeat. and
she cannot escape it.

Washington the Meeting Ground.

The selection of Washington as the place
for the peace negotiations is most crafty
ing to all Americans. who have taken the
keenest interest in the preliminaries. This
city is ideai for the purpose from the point
of view of International politics. Here are
ences, working upon either of the contest
ants. The United States Is a strict neutral
in the best and broadcast sense of the term.
II is so recognized by both of the belliger-
ents. as their acceptance of the Presidents
good offices attests. This government has
no interests at stake in the contest in the
far east save those that belong to every
civilized power. 1t Is earnestly DESTROYS Of
seeing the war closed. though not because
OF wish for the success of one side or the
other. but for the sake Of humanity
A peace meeting In Washington will be In
full view OF all the world. with every in
terest involved assured of fair deal. And
in view of the efforts which have been
made b. the United States in the past to
secure an adjustment OF the Manchurian
problem by pacific methods, 1t is eminently
by Japan to this same end should be ter
minated by a treaty negotiated at the
American capital Thus again is demon
;trated the new position of the United
States in the great world field. as a factor
FOR peace and progress.

The councils seem to be composed in some
part OF men who are occupying municipal
positions of various grades in addition to
their councilmanic places. The president or
the select council is a municipal appraiser.

members Of the select councils representa-
ton on this committee is clerk of the quar-

member Is $1,000 clerk in the office of the
register of wills, and is that officials figure
head in the council; another is 1900
search clerk in the office of the recorder of
deeds.
Here are six members Of a joint COM
mittee who are municipal employees. In all
probability there many other city SER
wants also in the councils. This makes for
an ideal ring government, fnsuring strict
obedience to the behests of the bosses Be-
tween the salaried clerks and bureau SUBJ
ordinates on the one hand and the saloon
keeping henchman on the other, the graft
gang that has heretofore controlled the city
has had no difficulty whatever in putting
measures through the local legislature.
such a body is no more representative of
the popular will than so many clothing
store dummies. Philadelphia will never
nave good government until 1t adopts a
strict rule that the councilr1en must be en-
tirely free from all other connections with
the city administration.

Lessons of the War Game.

The war game has proved. in theory,
that it Is possible for the land defenses
of the capital and Baltimore to detect ex-
pected hostile warships in season to open
a destructive fire upon them. This demon
strates two important points-frst. that
the forts are well located. and second. that
their garrisons and equipments are first
class These are the main considerations
in land works Intended to resist attacks
by water But whether the verdict of the
umpires, If rendered finally against the
enemy" in this series of maneuvers, shows
conclusively that the navy Is not match
for the forts in real action is another oues-
ton. The history of warfare offers many
instances of successful attempts to run
past forts, just as 1t affords evidence of the
ability of land works to resist water attack.
1t Is suggestive. however, that In neither
the Spanish nor the Asiatic wars have
modern ships been able to reduce modern
land works. At Santiago this failure was
doubtless due to a conservative policy Of
operation. The object Of the navy there
was to capture or destroy the Spanish fleet.
and that was accomplished when the fleet
attempted to escape. At San Juan, Porto
Rico, the war fleet Of the United States
accomplished little by It's bombardment.
little injury upon the Russian defeuses on
shore.
But In these modern instances of actual
warfare there have been no parallels for
the situation in the Chesapeake bay and
the Potomac river. There is a material
difference between a bombardment from
the sea to reduce land works covering the
immediate object Of attack as at Santiago,
Port Arthur and San Juan. and an effort
to run past land works to gain access to
remote places. So 1t is possible that de-
spite the demonstration in practice work
of the reliability of the defenses of Wash
ington and Baltimore, actual enemy,
with a powerful naval force, would succeed
in getting past the lower and the upper
forts and making way, in some part fit for
service, to bombardment range Of the two
cities. And this possibility is in turn. af-
fected by the fact that in warfare the
navy of the United States would be in
operation, unless 1t is conceived that these
maneuvers represent the activities OF the
enemy after meeting and totally destroying
the floating castles of this country.
The maneuvers have undoubtedly been of
value in point of training both crews and
garrisons in the detailed work of manning
the ships and forts and handling mines and
searchlights. There will doubtless be many
lessons to be figured out of the accom-
pAshed program, and some valuable hints
as to the development of materials will
probably be gained. And furthermore, the
peace play at war work has undoubtedly
STIMULATED the interest of both officers and
men in their assigned roles and checked
the. tendency, often found in time of
peace in the case Of idle garrisons and
crews, TO relax and grow Indifferent to de-
tails.

In the City of Graft,

Mayor Weaver has won another point In
his night against the city machine His re-
peal bills. introduced in the councils to null
lily the free grant OF several street railway
franchises to the trolley syndicate. were
referred the other day by the street rail-
way committee to the city solicitor for an
opinion as to their legality This was sup
posed to be victory for the machine The
solicitor, however, has decided that the
councils have a perfect right to take back
that which they have given. provided the
withdrawal of the franchises does not In
volve an actual property loss to their hold
ers. In this case no work of any kind had
been done on the proposed extensions. In
consequence of the decision the committee
today referred the bills back to councils
with the recommendation that they pass.
This ruling is a new proposition in Phila-
delphia. where the principle seems to have
been established long ago that the street
railway franchises are not the property of
the city. but are at the disposal of the troll
ley trust whenever 1t wishes to utilize them.
The process OF passing bills through coun-
ellis was merely concession to a sentiment
in favor OF doing things according to the
letter OF the law. Now the assertion is ad-
vaneed that the city actually has right to
dispose of its favors according to the VIII
of the people. 1t Is astounding.
The Public Ledger, one of the Philadei-
phia papers in the fight for reform, de-
scribes the membership of the joint street
railroad committee, In an. effort to forecast
the result of the fight there on the repeal
ers." In so doing 1t reveals a situation
that is of keen interest to outsiders. how

The Bucket-shop Evil.

quently reach a daily aggregate as large
as the entire volume of trading on the
New York Stock Exchange. 1t paws the
bucket shops to have branches in the
smaller towns where it would not paw the
exchange member, because it's regulations
are such as to invite the class Of Gus
toners who could not afford to trade under
the requirements of the regular stock ex-
change houses. This is the reason mainly
for the rapid growth Of the bucketin q
business, which has now attained dimen-
slons the magnitude Of which the general
public Is probably far from realizing IT
is not SO much the extent of these trans
actions that is the serious matter as It is
the fraudulent practices accompanying
them. and the fact that they bear upon
the people of small means, the majority Of
whom have no intelligent idea of what
they are doing and are the easy dupes of
the unprincipled men who conduct the
enterprise. The typical victims of the
bucket shop are the small wage earners-
clerks and employees in subordinate posi-
tions-who have laid by a few dollars and
decide to take their chance in speculation.
Their savings are not large enough to open
an account with regular brokerage firm.
where large margin Is required and trad
ing in small blocks of stock Is not accept

or sell anything from one share up and a
one-point margin is the minimum required
Therefore the bucket shops are the natural

should make use Of men who might be
oratted into Its service. it would be much
more likely to win political victories In this
state than If 1t confines it's nominations to

But how about Mr.. Williams and a Sec

that II nominated and elected this year

experience in office. and it is not difficult
to forecast what the effect on him would
be of year spent in the governorship of
Massachusetts. And, if a second then a

about public men. The latter are very pro-
nounced in some instances. and should he
formally enter politics they might find ex-

event the race would be out of the ordf-
nary. and probably the star feature of an
