The Retiring District Assessor.

The District government loses valuable
official I'm Mr.. II. II. Darnelle. the assessor,
whose resignation is announced In the news
columns today. Mr.. Darneille las grown
up in the municipal service and has risen to
the position he is now relinquishing as re-
suit of his close attention to the interests
Of the community. He developed a nat
urai ability for the line of work which
was eventually given to him and his ca
reer as assessor and as a member of the
boards connected with that office has been
conspicuously successful. His position
brought him into close relationship with
the two houses Of Congress, before the
District and appropriation committees
of which he was frequently summoned
to explain matters bearing upon the
local finances. The District has in the long
run gained materially as a result of the
tact. courage, and good sense displayed by
Mr.. Darneille in this work, and the tax
payers of the community have reason to be
thankful to him for his services as medi-
UNI of communication between them and
Congress on the fiscal affairs of the capital

The Union Station Plaza.

The plans for the improvement OF the
new union station plaza, which have been
virtually agreed upon by the representa-
tives Of the railroads and the District gov
eminent, commend themselves to the COM
munity as commensurate with the lmpor-
lance of the project. Here Is station
building with q system OF approaches
which will cost. in the aggregate, prooapiy
over SIS 200 Don, and will transform WASH
ington from a victim of railroad menace
into the possessor Of the finest term1nA
equipment in the United States. Everything
about the station should be in keeping. The
park approach should be worthy OF a city
of beautiful reservations. 1t should have
many trees and broad lawn spaces, and
architectural features, such as fountains
and low walls and seats. in harmony with
the beautiful building itself.
In one respect the action of the railroad
and municipal engineers is Of the utmost
Importance. Coupled with the other features
of the plaza development plan is a scheme
for the arrangement Of the street railway
tracks to give the greatest degree of pub
lie convenience with the least degree of dis
figurement According to the project as out
lined the users of the railroad station will
find it possible to reach that point easily
from every part of the city and conversely
to reach every part of the capital from the
station with a minimum of delay. Wash
ington should bind it's two transit systems
together into close harmony, having now
the best street car equipment in the coun-
try, and soon to have the best steam rail-
road terminal.
The legislation required for the rearrange-
ment of the street car tracks should have
been enacted at the last session of Con-
gress. but owing to the disposition in some
quarters to attach certain drastic taxation
features to the measure, it failed of pas
sage. Had there been no such delay it
would have been easily possible to work out
the track changes 50 that the street car
equipment would have been ready at the
same time as the station. AS the case now
stands 1t will be necessary to secure the
statute Immediately after the opening .,Of
the session in order to enable the local
traction companies to make even showing
OF compliance with the new conditions. 1t
has been estimated that this work will re-
quire eight months, owing to the difficulty
of securing steel from the mills, but per-
haps if the matter is placed upon the proper
basis the urgent necessities of the capital
may be met by the manufacturers in less
time. In any case, the measure including
all the provisions for the station plaza i'm
provement should have the active support
of all who are interested In the early COM
pletion of this great work and the final res
cue of Washington from its old railroad
handicap.

TO San FRANCISCO.

Put me somewhere west of East street. where
there's nothing left but dust.
Where the lads all a-hustln' and where every.
things gone bust,
Where the buildings that standing sort Of
blink and blindly stare
At the damnedest finest ruins gazed any,
where.
Bully ruins bricks and wall. through the night
I've heard you call
Sort Of for each other cause you had TO burn
and fall;
From the ferries to Van Ness you're God-fOr-
But the damnedest finest ruins nothing more and
nothing less.
The strangers who come rubberin' and huntln'
souvenirs.
The fools they try to tell it will take million
Before we can get started 50 why don't We come
to live
And build our homes and factories upon lard
they've got to give.
.sGot to gIve!" Why. on my soul. would rather
bore a hole.
And i've right in the ashes than even move to
Oakland's mole;
II they'd ali give me . pick Of their buildings
proud and slick,
In the damnedest finest ruins still I'd rather be Q

newspapers. The advent Of lady In the
House would be a sore encouragement to
these gentlemen. Then. the stenographers.
rapid though they are, would have troubles
of their own.
The presence Of lady in Congress would
have one beneficial effect. Many members
would learn the unvarnished truth about
themselves and their conduct. How could
they reply to her? Could they talk back
to her? They would not get the chance.
and If they did. what would be the use?
A man always gets the worst of it. The
last word is game in which every woman
is a champion.
Would any member dare to say disagree
able things to her? Not for the world. The
mean things would not dare to. 1t would
We uncourtly in the first place, and the
man does not live who can compete with 8
lady in saying disagreeable things.
Would the Speaker call her to order?
Never! Nothing like that would stop her.
Could the sergeant-at-arms stop her? Most
sergeants-at-arms are married men and are
alive to the danger of interrupting a lady
when her speech has begun to flow.
The rude men members Of the House
would have no way to protect themselves
against the lady except by inviting her out
to lunch.
1t is almost past belief that the voters in
Texas will be so ungallant as to cast their
ballots against Miss Laura, and 1t is posi-
BILE that she may occupy a chair on the
floor of the House. 1t will be a rocking
chair no doubt.
Another feature Of all this is that Miss
Laura must confess that she has reached
the age of twenty-five years. for the Consti-
tuition reads mo person shall be a repre-
sentative who shall not have attained to the
age Of twenty-five years and been seven
years citizen of the United States. and
who shall not, when elected, be an inhab-
liant Of that state in which he shall be

BRYAN in Indiana.

This proposition of the Indiana democrats
TO regulate Mr. Bryan's tongue while he Is
ranvassfng In that state Is pretty impu-
dent. II Will not do at all. Have they for
gotten the failure Of those southern states
men to revise the Madison Square Garden
speech before it was delivered? That was
a fiat failure. Mr.. Bryan listened. but kissed
them of. When he took the stand he en-
phasized the very point his would be men,
tors had prescribed. Let the Hoosiers be-
ware. They are playing with worse than
fire. In undertaking TO classify and to limit
the eloquent output OF the peerless leader
they have set for themselves an impossible
task. AS we'll try to plug up the crater of
an active volcano with gun cotton.
