A Good Time to Stop.

There is more talk in the House
and Senate of plan to get back
at the railroads. because of their in
considerate conduct in stopping the
issue of free transportation to the
eminent statesmen of Congress. The
plan is a trifle more elaborate than
il was week ago, when all it con-
templated was a reduction of the
prices allowed the railroads for the
transportation of The mails. Now
it is also proposed to limit the pas
senger fares of roads east of the
Mississippi TO cents a mile.
The Times was vastly amused and
delighted when the glad tidings Of
the proposed reduction in charges
for carrying the mails were heralded
abroad, and took passing occasion 10

inspiration becomes of minor import
ance. The transportation OF the
mails and the methods employed TO
make the contracts profitable have
been public scandals for many years.
If they are erased from the Gov
eminent records, good citizens will
not quarrel with the manner in which
the erasure is brought about.
II is to be hoped, therefore, that
the gentlemen who have declared a
vendetta against the railroads will
stop with this one reform, wherein
they will have the active approval
OF the public conscience. Vendettas
are not popular unless the selected
punishment is made, in an extraordi-
nary degree, to fit the crime. The
matter of passenger fares, although
largely important to statesmen, who
must travel. is of less interest to
the public. The suggested Limitation
may be ever so righteous, and, yet.
for the time, it is wise TO let the
matter rest.

The Architects and Washington.

In fultillment of their professional
responsibilities the members of the
American Institute of Architects
have given particular attention to
their Nations Capital Here they
have located their headquarters-and
on Washington they have focused
most of their energies in behalf of
the adornment of American cities.
cities which are now almost invari-
ably matters of ugly brick and stone,
utilitarian in every aspect, and the
product of real estate jobbing rather
than expressions of a peoples love
of home
This body assemblies in Washing
ton tomorrow for its thirty-ninth
annual convention. The delegates
can look about them with "a great
deal of justihable satisfaction. The
very headquarters of the institute
are in one OF the Capitals most
historic mansions, restored to its old
appearance. The White House. a
neighboI building and one of the
most affectionately regarded struc-
lures in the country, was preserved
from a complete remodeling largely
through their efforts. The Capitol
has been protected from a similar
danger by them. They have guard
ed the Mall from encroachment.
More than all this. they have led
the fight for systematic improvement
in many cities, and in Washington
they have helped achieve the victory
of the Park Commission and its
broad, wholly admirable plan of the
adornment of the whole city.
But much is yet to be done. Mis-
taken zeal like that which scraped
the Treasury building until every
line of cement, every variation in
stone. every discoloration slaps the
spectator in the face, must be curbed.
Unity must be secured for all our
parks. Breathing space must be
preserved in the new city" beyond
Florida avenue. And the brunt of
the fighting for these things must
be borne by the American Institute
Of Architects.

All Quiet Along the Potomac.

OF course the newspapers will have

But il is much to be hoped the
doughty reformer will not miss the

An Attack on the Press.

One portion of the statement of
Judge Andrew Hamilton, known
by euphemism as the Legislative
agent Of the New York Life Insur-
ance Company and other corpora-
lions in the same line of business.
deserves more attention. especially
from the newspapers, than il has
generally received. 1t is his decla-
ration that the larger part of the
$4,000 he has spent in the past
three years has been devoted to the
production, through the newspapers,
or public sentiment favorable TO
Federal supervision of insurance.
1t cannot be said Judge" Hanlu-
tons special activities and peculiar
business entitle his deliverances tn
extraordinary consideration. Gen
tlemen in his line are as notorious
for ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain" as the saffron hero
or Bret Harte's ballad They have
been known to espouse causes. vio-
lently and openly, for the deliber-
ate purpose of imparting their own
unpopularity to these causes and
inducing the public to suspect a hid
den malignancy that has no real ex-
istence.
If Judge" Hamilton, in his strenu-
Gus approval of the plan of Fed
eral supervision. sang a solo role
in the insurance chorus, there would
be a general disposition to question
his sincerity. 1t is noteworthy. how
ever, that Senator Dryden of New
Jersey, president of the Prudential
and the spokesman of the insurance
interests in the upper house of Con-
gress, is the principal advocate of
the change.
Assuming that Judge" Hamilton
is accurate in his recollection. the
manner in which he has expended
these vast sums of money is OF vital
interest. How has he used il to
change newspaper sentiment, and
which newspapers have been the OBJ
jects Of his bounty? What brides
have they received, in what form
have they been given. and what con-
sideration have the newspapers paid?
