Another Object Lesson.

Yesterdays weather gave another knock
out blow to the proposition that early
March is good enough time for inaugural
ing the President of the United States. But
that proposition has had numerous knock
out blows before and it still holds good in
law. There is no lack of demonstrations
on this score. The weather records are full
of them. and members of Congress have
had sorrowful occasion to note the danger
Gus absurdity of clinging to the traditional
Inauguration date when the way of a
change is wide open. Still, from year to
year the pleas of the citizens of all parts
OF the country for action on the amendment
resolution have yielded no result, and the
measure has from session to session and
from Congress to Congress gathered dust
in a pigeon hole in the judiciary committee
rooms. Some day perhaps the constituents
of the Legislators will arouse themselves
and instruct their "members' to act, and
state legislatures will pass resolutions, and
public opinion, which is already clearly
formed, but not fully voiced, will be SO
pointedly expressed that the reform must
follow. But how many lives will be sacri-
feed MEANWHILE? -

Goodwin Smith on Spelling.

Goodwin Smith draws his pen against that
theory of spelling sometimes called the
phonetic and at other times the slmp.ified
system. There is difference between
phonctics and simplification in that the
former IS much more radical than the lat
ter Reasonable simp-. tication might mean
the elimination OF those letter in words
that according 10 the best usage are not
sounded. This makes in the direction OF
phonetics. but does not go SO far.
Mr. Smith in the Cornell Era, which ap-
pears today, says:
''Simpiified spelling might in i way be q
gain. Simplii,catiou of the notation OF time
might very likely be a gain. But 1t would
have involved great confusion for some
years and a jettison of our clocks. Sim
plifcation of spelling would involve tenn
pogary confusion and jettison of our
books. 1t surely is doubtful whether the
change would pay.

Hearst and His League.

Now, about Mr.. HearSts democracy. Or.
let it be put in this way: Is ar. Hearst any
longer a democrat?
He has been FESTIVE under party bonds
for some time. employing criticism freely
in his newspaper, and antagonizing at the
polls regularly nominated democratic can
didates. He ran himself for mayor of New
York against the democratic nominee, and
had he failed last fall to capture the Buff
falo convention would have run for gov
ernor as an Independent. STILL he retained
the name OF democrat. and held commits
sion until the 4th instant as a democratic
member of Congress.
But how far does his latest deliverance
carry him? AS the head of the organiza-
ton known as the Independence League he
announces no further combinations with
either democrats or republicans. Hence
forth that organization will shape its own
course, writing it's own platforms and nomi-
mating its own candidates. 1t will solicit
votes on its own account, and whenever
successful administer affairs according to
its own policies.
Does not this take Mr.. Hearst definitely
out of the democratic party? And. If so.
with what result on the present situation,
and on approaching situations? Can Mr..
Bryan longer cooperate with him to any
end? VIII Mr.. Hearst longer count in the
opposition to John Sharp Williams for MI
nority leader in the next House? VIII his
voice be heard in the selection of the New
York delegation to the next democratic ma
tional convention? 1t Is understood that he
would like to control, and even head, 1t,
using it if possible in his own behalf, or
for man of his choice.
But more important than any of these
questions is that relating to future recruit
ing for the Independence League. If the
league is a political party in business for
itself, then men who join it take on obliga-
tons accordingly. If. like Mr. Hearst. they
have been affiliating with the democratic
party, they draw out of that party; if they
have been republicans. they separate from
that party. In giving their hands to Mr.
Hearst they go with him. His people here
after will-be their people, and his policies
their policies.
This fact must become plain wherever
Mr.. Hearst through his agents is at work.
In Indiana and Illinois, and throughout
the northwest, the voice of the Hearstites
is heard in the land calling the faithful to
action. There is no patriotism but
Hearstism. and Willie is it's prophet" Re-
publicanism, democratism, popuism. So
cialism, and Hearstism, and the latest Of
these is Hearstism.

The National Gallery of Art.

Art lovers throughout the country have
reason to rejoice in the gift of the Evans
collection of paintings to the National
GaiIery. an institution which has at this
time an established legal existence and
nucleus in the Harriet Lane Johnston
collection. Washington is Enthusiastically the
ideal location for an American art center
and this fact is gaining universal recogni-
tion. IL is to be believed that within a
decade there will be here in evidence not
only large number CT paintings of high
order of merit. but a building housing them
of appropriate size and design. The idea
of national gallery of art at the capital
has appealed strongly to the connoisseurs
of this country, and the example set by
Mr.. Freer of Detroit and now so promptly
followed by Mr.. Evans of New Jersey will
doubtless inspire other gifts or legacies
until the government will be compelled to
provide suitable home for the art works
OF value thus bounteously bestowed upon it.
In this connection none but the highest
praise is due TO the trustees of the Cor
coran Gallery of Art for their generous en-
terprise In organizing the t.rst national
Ion. which has just closed. This exhibition
of paintings, sweepingly representative of
contemporary American painting, has given
the movement TO develop the possibilities
OF Washington art center decided
impetus. The large public attendance at
tested to the keen appreciation by this COM
munity of the opportunity afforded to study
a large collection OF high-class paintings by
native artists UnquesJiOnably in the
crowds were large numbers of visitors from
all sections of the country who must have
borne away with them a distinct feeling
that Washington is truly the seat of ma
tional culture and has today brilliant
prospect of development along artistic and
intellectual lines of growth.

Maryland.

Mr. Rasin did not survive his old associ-
ate very long. but long enough probably to
realize fully that new day had dawned in
their old bailiwick. He and Mr.. German
had worked successfully together for many
years. Their machine was originally an ex-
celIent piece of political architecture. and
both were masters in it's use. With 1t they
bossed the state with ease. and Mr.. German
became with it's aid an influential national
figure. Mr.. Rasin. probably through choice.
remained a local quantity.
This new day dawned slowly. But at last
the sun showed above the hill-tops. First
a republican governor appeared at Annap-
oils. Then Maryland voted for Mckinley.
Then Mr.. German lost his seat in the Sen
ate. These were all severe jolts. and COM
ing so close together told tale of great
import.
There was a rally. and the lost ground at
Annapolis was recovered. and Mr.. German
returned to the Senate. But then came the
successful revolt within the party. with
Gov. Warfleld defying the machine in office.
and Mr.. Rayner obtaining Office over the
machines most strenuous opposition. Since
then the road had been extremely rough
for the machine. and Mr.. Rasins last days
of activity were full of anxiety about the
approaching Baltimore spring elections. The
way was dark, but he could see far enough
to make him feel doubtful of the result
with the machine again in charge.
New leaders. new methods. Mr.. Rayner,
Gov. Warfield. and exGov. Brown are diff
ferent men in every way from Mr. German
and Mr.. Rasin. The senator is a lawyer and
an orator OF wide reputation and has had
liberal experience in politics. Gov. War
field is a business man of the highest credit
and as an executive has shown independ-
ence and resolution. while Gov. Brown COM
mands general respect for attractive per-
sonal qualities. How will these men sue
coed with the ma erial which Mr.. German
and Mr.. Rasin for many years used to
marked advantage? VIII it respond to the
new touch as it did to the old?
The test is right at hand. A mayer of Bal
timore is to be chosen in May and the
democratic candidate in order to be elected
must be supported by a united party The
party is not united now. Can it be In time
for this contest? Some rival ambitions are
involved, and the adjustments necessary
call for the incest diplomacy and maybe
for some personal sacrifices. The situation
possesses every element in which a poll
tcian aspiring to leadership should delight.

Defeat of the Suffragettes.
i, tho Philadelnhia Ledger

Without going into the merits of the
question whether women should vote, there
can be little ground for surprise at the
fate Of the enfranchisement bill in the
British house of commons. Although the
unwillingness of the British legislators to
face the issue squarely necesstated re-
course to the expedient of talking the
bill to death, the militant suffragi have
only themselves to blame for this added
humiliation. The exhibition they have
made of themselves at Westminster has not
only been modifying and undignifed, but
1t has given arguments to those who con-
tend that the women of England are
neither prepared nor competent to assume
the responsibility of the suffrage.

Dowie.
From the Richmond Times-Democrat.

Dowie was a good executive, an able
organizer and a shrewd business man. He
had the secret of money making. He land
ed in America penniless and friendless. and
he amassed, by highly original methods. a
large fortune in a few years. The strange
spell that he laid upon the hearts Of thou
sands was difficult Of analysis. New York,
which he came in pomp to regenerate. could
never understand 1t. Dowie lacked wholly
that fine frenzy Of selfiess and inspired
fanaticism which has conferred q touch of
real nobility on other self-styled prophets
of no less ridiculous pretensions. He was,
It is to be believed. less deiuded than
deluding His ambition seemed to be to
feather his own nest, and he appeared to
have his reward.

than English. The foreigner does about as
well with English as the American or the
Englishman does with foreign languages.
Continuing. Mr.. Smith says:
How far would the simplihcation of
spelling of q few hundreds OF words go
toward making the English language the
dominant language Of the world? Suppos-
perfectly phonetic. are there not more Sc
rious defects than spelling? Would there
still not be lack of power of declension
and conjugation. Of the power Of forming
compounds of cognate forms for cognate
ideas? The language Of Shakespeare. Mil
ton, Bacon, Burke and Macauay has its
qualities. and very high qualities they are.

the fastest pace warranted by public opin-
ion. Unnecessary letters are becoming
fewer. but as a rule custom does not so
reform the spelling Of word that all ciew
to Its derivation is destroyed. 1t would seem
that the attempts to make violent or sud-
den changes In spelling by pronunciamento
of spelling boards arbitrarily created. or by
executive order. do not tend to advance
the cause of simpler spelling.
Men are jealous Of their language and
usually feel pride in their understanding or
their misunderstanding Of 1t. They will fol-
low the dictates Of dictionaries and books
written by dead men Of renown. and will
sometimes adopt the spelling used by writ
ers who write for them, but not to them.
Changes and betterments creep into the
language and gain currency II not too
antagonistic to popular taste. But there Is
no surer way of starting dispute than for
man. either an educator or President, to
stand up before the American public and
say: MY brothers, you do not under
stand the English language as we'll as l
do. and I will now proceed to show you
how to use It,"

may have lessened his prestige a. . bad
man In the east. apparently did not Sc
riorsly lower him in the estimation Of
Texas. But an emergency later arose to test
Captain Bill's metal One Of the officers OF
the 18th Infantry, on trial before q mill
tary court for dereliction Of duty in con-
nection with the shooting up Of Browns
Vile, took occasion to make remarks Of
Captain Bill expressive Of q dangerous de-
gree of contempt for that worthy. The bad
man went UP into the air and swore by al
the powers Of darkness that he would make
his traducer eat his words. He took the
first train for San Antonio, with Q full out
At Of weapons. Here il q Geographic dis
patch from that town. just received:
Captain Bill Mcdonald left the city to-
Penrose. He denied that Major Penrose was
in the hotel dining room last night when he
entered. Colonel Glenn Of Penrose's coun-
sci today said that Maj. Penrose recognised
and remarked about II. Mcdonald carried
two revolvers. but explained that they were
for ballast as he had not got used 20
going without them since he left the ranger
service. He added that he wanted nothing
to do with the army bunch, and came
here on business"
This trip of the doughty ex-ranger to and
from San Antonio reminds the east OF the
famous encounter between q certain Boston
financier and a western mining magnate
who claimed to have been traduced by the
former. He went to Boston armed to the
teeth and the newspapers made ready Tor
extra editions. The men met, iunched IN
harmony and parted friends. Their cock
tail duel has passed into history. Nc
Donald, 1t may be noted. did not even get

to think now that he has failed to make
