BRADDoCK ROCK IN DANGER.
Dangerous Depression in Street Where
It is Located.

Braddock Rock probably will be buried
and another landmark will be lost. That
this action is seriously contemplated is in
dicated in a letter written to the Commits
sloners by Truman II. Newberry, acting
secretary of the navy In reply to a recent
note in which they called attention to the
dangerous condition of the depression on
Water street between 23d and oath streets,
at the bottom of which the rock is located.
The Commissioners stated that the rock
and the depression is on ground under con-
troll of the Navy Department, and In this
connection Acting Secretary Newberry
quoted from recent report of the surgeon
general of the navy to this effect:
Permission to erect a fence around
Braddock Rock was granted to the Ma
floral Society of Colonial Danes of the
District of Columbia May 5, 1900. There
is at present no fence around this rock.
Action will be taken by this bureau to
fill in the depression of this rock so as
to remove the element of danger COM

PARTY CAMPAIGN FUNDS.

Times amt as they used to be- Did you
read that appeal of Mr.. Shermans chairman of
the national congressional committee, for con-
tributons to the campaign fund, says the St.
Paul Dispatch? Did you ever know of such
an appeal being made before by this or any
national committee? Do you recall how Hanna
went down the line and demanded contributions
from the benefciaries of governmental policies?
And got them. And there was that little in
cdent of the insurance exposures that showed
Babcock, then chairman OF this committee, ask
ing and getting So, 800 from one company, and
only he knows how much from how many
others, and he has not told. And then there
was that other contribution to the national
committee that caused such llutter,
We are told that the committees will not
solicit contributions this year from corporations.
Nor is it case of grapes, that corpor-
atoms that usually yield big checks being NOR
tally offended with the administration and
turning cold shoulders. 1t is another phase of
this wide movement that brands wrong
what habit had Injured consciences to and made
to seem almost right, justifable excusable,
at least President Roosevelt, sensitive to the
exposures, urged congress to prohibit under
penalties, corporal tons from contributing to
party campaign funds. Uncle Joe Cannon and
his committee rules sat down upon it and
Forakers senate bill "passed over" Congress-
men are to be elected this fall, and, in spite of
the GOODNESS of corporations, premature
closing Of all doors of chance and help could be
permitted.
But the Foraker or some like bill Will be
enacted, though not until after this falls
election. When the public conscience was dor
mant such scandalous bribing went
challenged. 1t is otherwise now. That con-
science is awake and alive. It says that
porations whose business is in any way related
to government, give money to political parties
not at all from motives of public spirit, but to
place obligations to be thereafter honored either
in Legislation enacted or prevented 1t is now
seen of all men that there is absolutely no diff
ference between contributions made and the
outright purchase of Legislators. 1t is plain
bribery.
Why should not political organizations de-
pend upon their individual members for the
money needed to conduct campaigns? IL a
man is convinced that his own and the general
welfare will be promoted by the success of this
or that party why should he not as a good
citizen, contribute in proportion to his means,
voluntarily, to the fund essential to his party's
success? Mr. Sherman is simply going back
to first principles, and, we trust, is abandoning
permanently false secondary principles. It
will be- it the practice be stablshed, another
long step away from the dangerous position we
had reached where men believed it is the duty
of government to support the people instead
Of the duty OF the people to support the gov
ernment.

Russell Sage is dead. He made a great
fortune and while he made 1T honestly enough
as business goes, yet he did not make it in
way to win the approval of his fellowmen. He
appears to have never invested money in great
industrial enterprises whereby both himself
and thousands of others would have profitable
ell, poyment His money was made for the
most part by financial operations, which only
took the wealth of others without producing
anything. He never made any philanthopic
requests worth mentioning, and even at his
DEATH simply left his fortune to his wife. His
life was empty and the results of his work will
be swept away as the waves sweep away the

The supplementary union at London
has concluded it's sessions, and as result of it's
conference, the union recommends that the
next Hague peace conference should
"First-By treaty define contraband of war
as being restricted to arms, munitions of war
and explosives.
"Second-Reassert and confirm the prin-
ciple that neither ship carrying contraband of
war nor other goods aboard such ship not being
contraband of war may be destroyed.
"Third-Affirm that even between belliger-
ents private property should be as immune at
sea as it is on land"
The conference also adopted resolution
in favor of the discussion by The Hague con-
ference of means to cut down the 'intolerable
expenditure of armiments."
A great step in advance will be made when
private property both on sea and land is exempt
from capture.

Mr. Bryan made eloquent appeal for
peace at the meeting of the parliamentary
peace conference at London uesday. The
speech is said to have been of his most elo
quent efforts. Speaking of arbitration Mr..
Bryan said off we able to separate the
questions of fact from the questions of honor
IN international disputes and to apply to them
deliberate and impartial judgement, we shall
be able to settle the facts with honor when
great questions arise.
"What we want is time for deliberation,
time to mobilize public opinion for peaceful
settlement"
Pointing dramatically to painting illustrat-
ingAdmral Nelson's death, MrBryan exclaimed:
~Theres much inspiration in noble life as
in a heroic death. Permanent peace only can
be established on the foundation of the brother
hood of man."
