The Districts Money Needs.

The District Commissioners should and
there is evidence that they Will. submit
their estimates to Congress this year with
out strict reference to the prospective reve-
nues of the District ror the next fiscal year
They should in the past. ask Congress
To provide for the needs as they exist, ig-
noring the prospect that If these funds are
provided there will be a deficiency of local
tax revenues 1t does not matter that Con-
grcss has refused heretofore to finance the
deficiency on the proper basis of a long
term advance by the federal government
with definite provision for refunding. The
principle upon which the request for this
measure of adjustment was based was and
still remains sound, in business and in law.
only by strictly separating those projects
which make for the permanent improve
meut and development of the federal mu-
nicipal.ty from the necessary items of cur
rent maintenance can the District be
brought up to date and given a proper
equipment without bringing 1t to the verge
OF bankruptcy putting it to extraordinary
straits for the raising of funds. If this
policy had been pursued at the beginning
Of the present series of over appropriations
to meet extraordinary needs there would
today be no difficulty in running the Dis
trct on properly liberal lines.
II is immat erial to the vital issue that
Congress does in fact now appropriate an
uually ii larger sum than the prospective
local tax revenues warrant. In so doing
Congress is merely perpetuatng the condi-
fInn of shortage and debt to the govern
mcnt. which remains upon an unsatisfactory
and unbusnesslike basis. What the citi-
zens of the capital ask and have a right to
expect is that these advances by the fed
Cral treasury be regarded in lieu of
bond issue. distinctly established in long
term terms. with a specified provision for
repayment in a manner to insure the event
UaI liquidation of the whole debt without
meanwhile Gripping the resources or ham,
pering the growth of the municipality.
As the case now stands the District can
ct any session he brought sharply back to
the hard-and-fast rule of appropriating for
pending works and current needs only a
sum twice as large as the prospective local
tax revenues. Such "A course would cause a
disastrous curtalment of the funds for
either the operation of the municipal ma
chine or for the execution of the great pub
lie works now under way. Either result
would be a most serious blow to the pros
pority OF the District and a check in the
development of Washington as the ideal
capital
The annual disappointments suffered by
the Commissioners should not deter them
from again asking for all the District
needs, with a recommendation for the es-
Establishment of Il federal advance system on
Ia long term basis which will place Wash
ington a par with other communities in
this regard as respects the, financing of eX-
tIuordinary improvements.

Mr.. Cookers Libel Suit.

Richard Croker, who while on this side
repeatedly declined invitations to tell where
he got 1t. has opened up the subject on the
other side by libel suit. In his formal
complaint he tells where he did not get it,
and probably before the case goes to the
jury he may be even more explicit. The
subject is very interesting one. and when
the trial begins the cable Is likely to bring
us full particulars. No suit brought by
an American citizen in a foreign court has
ever appealed to American attention as
this one will. Mr.. Croker was for many
years prominent in our politics, and under
a CALLING fire of partisan criticism from
start 10 finish. That he worked for his
own pocket all the time" he has publicly
stated. but how he worked and with what
financial results this suit must disclose

Hughes, and His Opportunity.

Months ago, when Mr.. Hughes was first
suggested as a good man for the republic
cans to nominate for governor of New
York The Star compared him to an actor
who by the proper development of what
seemed to be small part had made HIM
self a star and come into wide fame.
The comparison still holds and is even
stronger than ever. Mr.. Hughes is I'M
doupted:y a star now, both on the legal and
the political stage, and his fame grows
out of the performance of a task which
when he undertook ii promised no such
result.
The story reads a bit like romance. A
probing of the insurance scandal IN new
York was decreed by the legislature, and
the committee appointed needed counsel
Several lawyers of eminence were ap-
preached, but none fancied the work. No
body saw an exceptional opportunity in 1t.
Many people distrusted the proceeding,
upon the ground that the moneyed interests
| involved would in some way manage to de-
feat the ends desired by the public. FL
nally somebody suggested Charles E.
Hughes and said in his behalf that he
was a good lawyer, an honest and a fear
less man, and if he could be induced to
undertake it would do the work thoroughly.
Before accepting the commission, Mr..
Hughes. who had had his own msgtvings
about things satisfied himself that there
would be no string to the investigation. but
that everything connected with it would
be on the level. Accordingly he addressed
himself to the task with all earnestness,
and with the hearty encouragement and
cooperation of the committee soon uncov-
cred Irregularities and iniquities which
made the whole country stare. Even the
principal countries across the Atlantic took
notice. Almost literally, Mr.. Hughes awoke
one morning and found himself famous.
He had developed what had appeared to
be a small part so thoroughly that law
yers who but a short time before had
topped him were now topped by him. He
shot up in single night to a commanding
height. - --' -
Naturally the politicians appraised MIN
as a good man for their field. He might
have had the republican nomination for
mayor of Greater New York last year, but
as he had not then completed his special
work for the state he declined. This year,
being free to consider a political offer, he
responded when asked to head his party's
state ticket; and as a campaigner he is
realizing the highest expectations of his
friends.
To Show how greatly Mr.. Hughes has
strength ened himself by his labors in the
matter of the insurance investigation it Is
only necessary to point out that should he
be elected governor of New York next
month he may become a presidential guam
tity for 1903.
Again comes a verification of the aphor-
ism that the republic Is opportunity"
And, fortunately for the republic. when the
hour strikes man of the Hughes stamp is
ALWAYS there
