The newspaper report of the latest fea-
ture of the Earle case says:
Monroe people are still talking Of the
manner in which Earle took his leave
To prevent Monroe from knowing the des-
tination of his effects Earle had Jonas
Brooks take the two wagonloads OF
trunks and other belongings to Oxford
the next railroad station above Monroe
and they were expressed from there.
There were some articles in his house
that Earle would not allow any of his
servants to touch. With his own hands
he carried his little sons crib, high-chair,
hobby horse and toys from the nursery
them away. Workmen and others who
were there say that the father wept as
he performed the task. Monroe believes
that when Earle goes to Europe he will
seek out the chubby boy he used to carry
around on his back in other days"
1t Is hard to get away from the old
wife. As a rule she viii not let you.
After you have got accustomed to her
habits. and after she has broken you in,
you miss her when she's gone. The home
seems strange. You can scatter papers on
the floor, flick your cigar ashes In the pin
tray and open the windows and let the
flies in without being roasted for your
thoughtiessness, carelessness, etc. 1t does
not seem like home.
Sometimes these "afflnities" are very
pretty to look at, but they don't last. Az
finities are not a success at darning socks
or putting new ne ckbands on old shirts.
Where Is the affinity who would sally
forth at moments notice to do battle
with the grocer because he oyercharged
her cents on a peck of potatoes?
And when there is a child in the family,
and 1t goes away, home seems very
lonesome.

Some School Needs.

Congress at the coming session should
lend a favorable and a patient ear to the
fiscal needs of the public schools of the
District of Columbia. The board of edu-
cation will ask for the appropriation OF
about A.5O0.OOO for the maintenance of
the schools during the year beginning
July /. 1905 The board last year asked
for about S32T3.OOo, and Congress ap-
propriated 81, 80. coo.
The principal item accounting for this
proposed Increase is $500 900 for a new
normal and model school building to be
erected on Columbia Heights on site
already owned by the District. Another
large item Is s25OG0 for the purchase of
a site and the erection of normal school
building for the Colored school popula-
tion.
The school needs of the District have
been thoroughly thrashed over and any
extravagant ideas that may have been
entertained have been eliminated. The
needs which these appropriations will
meet are urgent. The improvements are
demanded not with the view of making
Washington the noblest and handsomest
city in the world; they are absolutely de-
manded by the exigencies of the situa-
ton. Washington Is growing, and here
as In other cities IT is serious problem
to keep the school facilities apace with
the number and the necessities of the chill
dren.
No doubt the demand for new school
buildings and the renovation of old build
ings would make stronger appeal to
Congress il there were harmony in and
satisfaction with the administration of
school affairs In the District, but the I'M
fortunate condition which aff1icts the
school system Will be corrected in course
of time, and there is no reason why, pend
ing this adjustment. the physical better
ment of the schools should be retarded.

Massachusetts.

The democratic party has repeatedly
justified one Of Gen. Grants most famous
sayings. An act of folly has on numerous
occasions, state or national, delivered It
into the hands of the opposition. For
latest example consider Saturday last in
Massachusetts,. {.
Democratic prospects In the Bay state
may not have been as bright as painted,
but they were not hopeless. Had the
party united on either Mr.. Whitney or
Gen. Bartlett, or, finding that impossible,
turned to a compromise man Of means
and merit. 1t might have given Gov. Guild
a respectable run for his money. Success
was not altogether out of the question
But 1t Is now. The split at Springfield
gives the state to the republicans by
nearly any old majority, besides leaving
sores in the organization 1t may take
years to heal.
The occasion seems to have been of a
wild and whirling kind. But let us hope
that the reporters drew a little on trained
imaginations. Springfield is a center of
cultivation and intelligence. and yet we
are told that In comparison with Satur-
days convention a Tammany meeting d.
vided into two opposing camps is as a
Sunday school picnic! Is the Caucas sian
in his best estate played, or playing out
The question ceases to be political and be-
comes sociological, psychological, and sew
| eral other kinds of ogical. Is the day ap-
preaching when Big Tim Sullivan can get
a party job in Boston?
The republicans, on their part, played
| good game. Their ticket is we'll Sc
| lected, and their platform satisfactory
For some years they have been Juggling
| with the tariff question talking revision
in state campaigns, and forgetting IT.
after election day At last we have some
thing definite. The proposition that the
republican national convention commit
the party to revision at special session
of Congress to be called in the spring
of 1909, and that Massachusetts will sc
vote in that convention, is to the point
and should satisfy every republican re-
earlier day should not be attempted by
the party in power. but will serve every
desirable purpose If accomplished then.
Massachusetts, thus passes from view fol-
the present SO far as the outside world
is concerned. The campaign may have
moments of interest for homefolks, but
| unless George Fred Williams and Mr.
| Whitney should fight duel at thousand
yards with horse pistols, or the Hearstites
| in the state abjure their faith and become
democrats, the country at large will take
| no further notice. Gov. Guilds majority
| should be away up yonder.

Somebody once said that the danger
OF assassination would never deter
man from becoming a presidential
candidate. 1t is not likely that the
cost OF railroad fares to Denver will
deter many from desiring to become
delegates. Moreover II is well worth
consideration whether the enormous
enthusiasm OF Oklahoma for the
democratic party, the sentiment that
will be awakened In Colorado by
the convention and the crowds that
attend It. the feeling already appar-
ent in the mining states adjacent
to Colorado, may not result in maxi
ing new break into the solid re-

made before Mr.. Bryan was can

Aldrich is charged with having said
that the only fight for the nomina-

Is between Roosevelt and Taft. That
Roosevelt represents the most vio-
