You people who stay in Washington all
the time don't begin TO realize what a
beautiful city il is" said Mr.. r. c. Ccaw-
ford. in former years one Of the best
known newspaper men Of this country,
but for d long while past a resident OF
London, at the New willard.
i haven't seen Washington in ten
years, and il does my heart good 10 be in
the old town once more. To me ii ap-
pears Ike an enhancing vision, d delight
ful picture, and I am satisfied that ere
long il viii be regarded as the world :
most magnificent capital
England, judged by its total savings
banks deposits and its mOney-lending op-
eratiOTis is in prosperous condition, but
the country has tremendous social prob
lens to solve. One Of the most trouble
some questions Of the day is how to re-
Heve the vast army of the unemployed.
In London alone l25.0l0 men are to-day
tramping the streets, without a penny
for food or shelter. The labor members
of Parliament under the leadership Of
John Burns, are striving TO co something
to better the condition of these UnfOTJu-
mates. and doubtless some plan viii be
hit upon to provide employment for
them. London is fun of the most hu-
name and charitable people 10 be found,
and appeals from starving wretches sell
dom fall on deaf ears. All the hospitals
in the city are supported by private sub
scrlptions. and their operations are pure
ly charitable.
Speaking Of the wretched class with
out homes. a policeman near my residence
told me a few days ago that hundreds Of
them had as their beds the pavementS
of the streets. ] think that this situation
Is largely brought about through the
British policy of free trade. The English
are slow 20 see Is, but sooner OF later
they Will wake up to the fact that unless
they follow the fashion Of the other ma
tions in putting on some tariff. however
moderate, the army Of the unemployed
will be constantly augmented"

Nixon's Early Days in Virginia.

Lewis Nixon, who Is figuring so prOmi-
nently in the politics Of New York, having
been chairman of the Democratic State
convention at Buffalo, is even better
known in Washington and immediate vi
cinity than he is in the metropolis. He
was "born and raised" at LeesbUrg. the
county seat of Loudoun. and after grad
uating at the United States Naval Acad-
emy. he attained distinction as u con-
structOr in the navy. lie resigned from
the navy at the close Of the war with
Spain, and accepted a responsible position
with enc Of the biggest shipbuIlding firms
in the country. He has prOspered, and is
now generally regarded as one Of the
coming captains Of industry Of the coun-
try. Il Is related that had his ambition
been gratiied at the age Of sixteen years
10 be deputy clerk Of Loudoun County, he
would have carved out for himself d
political instead of & military and busi-
ness career. With the same enthusiasm
that has characterized his every enter
prise since the days Of his callOw youth
he threw himself impetuOusly into the
campaign IN LoudOun for the nomination
OF a friend for county clerk. who If sue
ceSsfui. WAS 10 appoint Nixon his deputy
The understanding was that the friend
was 10 hold the Office by reelection until
his young deputy should reach the age
when he legally could apply 10 his fel-
lOw-Democrats for election as county
clerk. and that thereafter he was TO get
in the very thick Of the political game
in Virginia. But his plans went all a-gley
with the defeat Of his friend for nOmina-
tion. and then young Nixon received an
appointment to Annapolis.
