Immediately after the reading of the
journal Mr. Townsend, of Michigan, ask
ed for unanimous consent for the con.
sideration OF the TiIlmsn resolution, as
amended by the House committee on in
terstate and foreign commerce, so as to
provide for an investigation OF railroad
monopolies in coal and oil. This reso-
luton is believed TO be result Of the
conviction of the public that the railways
are inficting a wrong on he American
people," Mr.. Townsend began. He ex-
planned the provisions of the resolution
at length; citing the features of the Gil
esp'e, Campbell and Senator Tillman
resolutions embodied 10 the ore now be-
fore the House. The investigation, he
promised. would be prompt, speedy and
effective, outlining the evils which are
just now the subject Of such bitter pOpu-
lar complaint.
The House at one O'Clock, without a
dissenting vote, passed the Tillmsn joint

A p German.

The country is not unprepared TOT the sao
intelligence of the death of Mr.. German.
His health had been poor for some time,
and his absence from the Senate at a highly
important stage of its proceedings made 1t
necessary that his condition be explained TO
the public. This was done with all due
delicacy and the reservations that belong
to hope, but the announcement, taken In
connection with the senator's age, plainly
indicated that he had put OF his armor, ana
would not appear again in an arena where
he had for long been both prominent
and influential Since then he has had
his good days and his bad days, but never
day which promised a recovery of his
strength. He died at home, blessed with
the presence of his family. and soothed by
wife and children in his closing hours
AS politician Mr.. German had some
strong qualities. He possessed a rare gift
for organization. and a way of producing re-
suits from very unpromising material. His
management OF the first Cleveland cam
paign. with a candidate who taxed his pa
thence to the last degree, was a triumph of
self-mastery and skill, while his handling
of the Wilson tariff bill-a measure which
as it came to him was obnoxious to his every
sense of good politics and sound business
prlnciples-showed a power In the Senate
not enjoyed by any other man Of his party
in that body. He more than any other SEN
ator gave 1t new shape, and the one In
which Congress finally accepted it. He like
wise led in the fight which resulted In the
defeat of the second so-called force bill. and
by that act greatly increased his popularity
throughout the south. rs.
AS a man Mr.. German was of suaye ADJ
dress, approachable. genial to a degree, and
a patient listener. So thorough politician
was he. however, and so absorbed by the
game that his social side. attractive as he
could make it when he chose. seemed de-
veloped to advance and to obey his political
side: and 1t answered that end In many
things.
Mr.. Germans power at home had been
very much impaired. His failure to name
his latest colleague in the Senate was
blow to him, and this was followed by his
failure to force new elections law on the
state-a thoroughly vicious measure, which
thousands of democrats refused to support.
1t Is likely. therefore that new order of
democratic politics will now be observed
in Maryland and it may be said without inn
proprIety at this time that the party there
should welcome such thing.

Of by the Commissioners. That proposition
was entirely novel when preached, and
was adopted by the House In q hurry and
IN consequence OF bit of adroit maneuver-
ing which prevented a square test OF senti-
mer1t upon It's merits. 1t Is possibly not
too late for 1t to be eliminated. But 1t
must now be regarded as probable of en-
actnent. and the community must begin 10
accustom itself to the novelty proposed
1t Is no reflection upon the individuals
composing the Supreme Court OF the DIS
trict to say that this method of appoint
meut Is preposterous. There Is no prece-
dent In the District for such a system or
filling the Offices Of the municipality, un-
less It be afforded by the case OF the jail
wardenship. That officer Is named by the
court. acting as representative of the
United States. The suggestion that the
schools are to be considered as part of the
corrective organization will impress most
citizens as at least dlverting. The court
has no other patronage at present, save Its
own subordinate offices. 1t may be doubted
whether the judges welcome the prospect
of being required to appoint nine trustees.
They may perhaps draw lots to determine
which of the six Is to shoulder the respon-
sibilIty. They might even. II the situation
becomes too difficult. ask the District Com
missloners. as being more familiar with
the candidates and the conditions. to rec
ommend a slate There are ways of avoid
ance, but the final responsibility for the
board of education In its formation and It's
acts cannot be wholly evaded.
But however the members of the board
are chosen, the hope and belief of the Dis
trict Is that they will be competent and en-
ergetic and sincere in their efforts to con-
tinue the good work of the public schoof
system. With the new pay scale In force 1t
win be possible to secure and retain nrst-
class instructors. The teaching corps VIII

However the administrative organization Is
devised or formed. It Is assured that there
will be competent instructors and that they
will go on their way encouraged by this as
surance of regard from Congress.

williams and His KEYNOTE.

In his speech on the tariff at the Reform
Club dinner in New York Saturday night
John Sharp Williams said several things
which should give us all pause.
Take this: when you come to the tariff
question YOU will have to have a campaign
OF education" Well, we have come to the
tariff question. and now who are to be the
educators? Men Of the Cleveland school, or
men of the German school? The two schools
We're very far apart a few years ago when
Mr.. Williams party undertook to revise the
tariff. and calamitous failure was the re-
suit. Are they nearer together today? And
II so. what are the outward manifestations
OF the Inward state OF agreement? Mr. VIII
liams should give particulars.
Take this:
II am greatly interested in the reading of
the letters OF regret from men like Cleve-
land and Watterson. who have expressed an
idea that has been more eloquently set forth
by William Jennings Bryan, and should be
the slogan OF the next campaign"
This is treason. not to say fiat burglary
Has Mr.. Williams never read the famous
tariff message which Mr. Cleveland sent to
Congress In December. 1887? And has he
forgotten the letter addressed to MY Dear
Catchings'-a former colleague of Mr. VIII
Iiams--in which Mr.. Cleveland set forth his
views In polysyIlabic indignation about the
German Wilson tariff bill. which tho demo-
enacted into law? And was Mr.. Williams
too busy with his cotton planting years ago
to be properly impressed with Mr.. Waiter

sons eulogy Of the Star-eyed Goddess Of
Reform and his excoriation Of the Painted
HarIot Of Protection? That was hot stuff
the hottest sort of stun.
Let Mr.. Williams name the particular
Bryan deliverance on the tariff which takes
the shine on the deiiverances Of Mr.. Cleve-
land and of Mr. watterson. It may be
all very well for him to hasten to get on
the Bryan band wagon. but the perform
ance should take place respectfully and In
order. In rendering unto Caesar the things
that are Caesars he should remember that
other folks have claims. And he should
also remember that Mr.. Bryan, however
beautifully he may talk. was member Of
the House committee which prepared the
Wilson bill, which Mr.. Watterson said was
very Inadequate measure, and which Mr.
German, when his time came. picked all
to pieces.
In this preferring Of Bryan to Cleveland
and Watterson, Mr.. Williams, to employ
his own phrase, Is "swerving from the
ideal" Why should he not adapt the re-
frain of an old song to his uses. Like this:
I'm gittin' In q swersin' way,
talks my tariff free
Oh. here's to Bryan. come and drink.

The School Bill in the Senate.

By adopting favorable report upon the
school reorganization bill the Senate Dis
trlct committee puts in the way of prompt
enactment measure OF the utmost impor-
lance 10 the capitals public educational
system. II IS a source Of sincere gratiffca-
ton to the friends of the local schools that
bota houses OF Congress have thus far been
disposed 10 recognize the merits OF the
teachers petition for higher range OF pay
and surer system OF promotion The
truth seems 10 have been al last made clear
90 the legislators that II Is impossible to
maintain the educational standards at the
high point which the Distric requires with
out pay and promotion scales that will en-
able the authorities TO secure and retain
the services OF the most capable men and
women. In the discussion before the
House and Senate committees, and in the
debate In the House itself. the only ques-
ton as 10 the teachers salaries seriously
considered related to the details of the
new adjustment. There was a practically
unanimous agreement upon the principle
underlying the measure. and II Is to be ex-
pec,ed that the bill will be promptly passed
by the Senate. and that provisions in ac-
cordance with its terms will be made In
the District appropriation bill The schools
VIII then have been placed upon a proper
basis as regards the pay and promotion OF
teachers.
An action Of the House OF Representa-
tives In connection with this bin which the
citizens of the District at first were in
cllned 10 regard as more or less OF
joke now turns out to be an entirely serious
matter. The Senate District committee has
formally approved the provision that the
board OF education be appointed by the
Judges Of the District supremeeourt. instead

The People Have the Remedy.
From the Baltimore American

From the Baltimore American.
The governor of Indiana declares the
country is on the brink of social and moral
revolution. There Is no need even In the
worst of present conditions for revolution.
The people at all times have the power in
their own hands of remedying any condi-
lions prevailing. The people allow these
conditions to exist and TO gain strength until
they appear almost irresistibly intrenched by
a popular apathy and tolerance, until shock
ed into shortlived activity by some partic-
ularly revolving or dangerous exposure.
Then. after some outbursts of public opin-
ion, the former apathy returns. Not until
the public at large realizes that eternal Wig
ilance is the price of things quite as val
liable as liberty Will any other measure, rev.
oIution included. suffice to put an end to
the corruption now apparently honeycomb-
ing our moral. business and political sys-
