a Desirable PARK 1mnroremcnt

A notable achievement in the wav of
park legislation is recorded i'm the pas-
sage through both Houses of Congress
of bill which provides for the acquisi-
ton OF strip Of land, not more than 400
feet wide, In the valley of Piney Branch.
so rs TO connect Sixteenth street and
Rock Creek Park by a driveway through
a picturesque region. Any one acquainted
with this region will realize at once the
wisdom and value Of this proposed ac-
QUESTION. and the District may count
itself fortunate that the landscape con-
tguous TO the stream has been allowed
during so many years to retain its
natural beauty. It has been threatened
many times by sc-called improvements"
but has happily been spared from devas-
tati0n.
OF all the plans which have become ef-
fectiye for the Identification Of the Ma
uonal Capital the most important was
we think everybody viii agree. the
creation of Rock Creek Park. This mag
nifcent tract is now assured 10 all pos
terity, and its beauty and usefulness will
be more and more manifest as the years
go by. The money which it cost was
well spent and each succeeding genera
ton will appreciate and commend the
foresight which secured its acquisition.
The new driveway, which is now pro-
posed, is not only a most desirable. but
a sensible and appropriate addition to
the park system.
Incidentally, it is quite proper to- say
that the credit for suggesting this ad-
mirable idea and for securing the neces-
sary legislation belongs very largely TO
Col Biddle, the Engineer Commissioner of
the District, whose important and vaIu-
able public service does not always re-
ceive the recognition it so justly de-
serves.

Job. His movements were Napoleonic.
Opportunity knocked at his door, and IL
was opened upon the echo of the first
rap. What he did he did boldly ag-
gressively. and with amazing fTankness
No grass was allowed to grow under his
feet. he was greeted everywhere. His
colleagues were quaking with apprehen-
sion. But not Schmitz. He Immediately
seized the biggest laurel wreath he could
find. pressed it firmly upon his brow, and,
Augustus Caesar like, he called for the
peoples applause And he got It. OF
course he did; the people just couldn't
help it.
Strive as you may. you cannot recall
the name of a single man other than
Schmitz who had any hand in the San
Francisco end OF the difficulty. The
whole thing was bounded by Sehmitz on
the east. west. north and south. Such a
man is useful. and il is to be hoped that
he may clear his skirts Of all suspicion of
graft and bOOdling. Any man who can
throw himself into a breach such as

crisis such as Schmitz faced-and come
out with so much to his credit that Is
commendable, is not TO be overlooked.

His manner, always rather clerical, has

With Senators who have been clamoring
for his expulsion, as well as those who
have given him quietly to understand
that they would stand by him. he has
maintained cordial relations from the
opening Of his case. He has sat patiently
and attentively through every speech
made against him, and in spite Of the
severe arraignment to which he has been
subjected by his opponents his face has
shown no sort of emotion. He listened
