WASHINGTON in Spring.

Washington is just entering upon its
most beautiful period. Its thousands of
trees are putting forth their tender green
OF the first foliage and the streets are
vistas of the most delicate shades of
spring Every day adds to the capitals
loneliness and in fortnight 1t will be
worth journeying many hundreds of miles
to see.
These days of spring attractiveness
should stimulate in the breast of every
legislator on the hill the desire to bring
Washington to the fullest possible fruition
of its opportunity the garden city OF
America. Much has already been done
in this direction, but much remains to
be accomplished. There are some places
of rare beauty, and others of forbidding
ugliness. 1t matters not that most of the
Jaw spots are out OF the sight of the
casual observer There are enough in plain
view to cause all progressive lawmakers
and administrators to determine upon a
program of unflagging persistence to cure
the nuisanceS.
1t is humiliatins TO the philosophical
WaShtngtonian to show Il visitor around
the District, and, after leading the way
TO the parks and public buildings and
pointing out the advantages of which the
capital Is possessed, 10 be confronted
With an eye-sore in the shape of tumble
down shack on conspicuous corner OF
the business or residential section. or
to encounter d public parking piled high
with refuse materials of all kinds, or to
witness evidences of indifference and ne
glect on the part of houSeholderS who
take thought for the appearance of
their own premises. Some of these ills
can be cured by legislation. Others re-
qUire education and moral suasion. 1t is
the constant effort of the majority of
dwellers within this District to maintain
a high standard of individual activity for
the development of the city's attractive
ness, and they should be constantly en-
cOuraged by the enactment of the neces-
sary laws and regulations to arouse from
slothfulness those who have not learned
he lesson of true civic progress.

as a free trade deliverance. Protection
in the phrase of that campaign. had been
challenged to battle to the death But
what resulted? Mr.. Cleveland. at the
behest of the New York bankers who had
financed both his nomination and his
election. suboIdnated the tariff to the
money issue. and by putting the latter
first in his recommendation to Congress
brought on row in that body from which
his party never recovered. His republi-
can allies. who had helped knock the last
prop from under silver. turned against
him when he brought forward the tariff,
and helped the protection democrats III
the Senate, led by Mr.. German, knock
the last prop from under the democratic
platform. So that what was done at that
time on the tariff question simply exposed
the democracy to-contumely. in which MI
Cleveland. unfairly enough. joined.
AS for the present congressional sltua-
ton, there is the Senate, a barrier to any

party. and he is not going to fall in with

party. and he is not going to fall in with
any scheme to obtain it otherwise.
Mr. Williams in this matter is in line
with Mr. Bryan. who also has words of
praise for the President. Both hold that
he is better than his party, and in some
things worthy of praise. And about
those things they praise him highly. This
has led Mr.. Tillman to say that if Mr..
Roosevelt heads his party again this year
Mr. Bryan cannot run against him. He
sees in the Roosevelt candidacy all of
Mr. Bryan's Commendation of the Presi-
dent rise up to plague its author.
But would il? Mr. Bryan has COM
mended nothing in Mr.. Roosevelt which
he does not claim as sound democratic
doctrine. and as having been lifted
from the democratic platform. In effect
he says: LAS the democrats have in
dorsed these things by putting them into
their platform, and as the republicans
have Endorsed them by accepting them
at the hands of Mr.. Roosevelt. why not
give me chance to carry them forward
to their logical conclusion? If the laborer
is worthy of his hire, is notta discoverer
worthy of reward for his successful dis
coveries?'
Whether Mr.. Bryan is nominated at
Denver or not. he must stand by the
praise he has bestowed upon the Presi-
dent and insist that democratic victory
will mean policies such as have brought
the President under criticism of being
radical. To bar Mr.. Bryan as a candidate,
therefore. would be to bar him as
But can anybody imagine Mr..
Bryan barred from the stump next fall?
That would mean a landslide to the re-
publicans

A Taft Man.

At Minneapolis yesterday an attempt
made TO stampede republican coun-
~ convention to Mr.. Roosevelt \ man
of the name of Heffelfnger, a supporter
of Judge Taft. had been Endorsed for dele
gate at large to Chicago and a resolution
Endorsing Judge Taft introduced. when
the following resolution was brought for
ward:
Resolved. That the first choice of this
convention as to its candidate for Presi-
dent at the next republican national con-
vention is President Theodore Roosevelt.
THAT the second choice is William III.
Taft of Ohio.
THAT the delegates here elected are
instructed to use all honorable means to
carry into effect the foregoing resolu-
ton"
The report of the proceedings then tells
US:
THE best way to indorse Roosevelt
said ex-Gov. Van SAINT. is to stand by
Taft
.Heffelfnger broke through the big dis
shouted:
IF you don't intend to indorse Mr..
Taft. you want to take back your indorse-
ment of me. | ran as an out-and-out
Taft delegate, and wont go any other
way.
This cleared the atmosphere. There
was a thunderclap OF appreciative APP
pIause. and the resolution was laid on the
table with a loud slam.
Have we not something in miniature
here bearing upon certain speculation in
dulged in about Chicago? In several
quarters there is a prediction that the
national convention will confront sltua-
ton somewhat similar. The claims of
Judge Taft are to be pressed to the point
of disclosing the divisions of the conven-
ton, when Mr. Roosevelts name is to be
thrown INFO the arena and his nomination
demanded.
f this is done will, the maneuver sue
coed? Does not success in manner de-
pend upon the character of the delegates
who are supporting Judge Taft In good
faith? If the more prominent OF them
protest in the spirit that actuated MI
Hefferfinger at Minneapolis that they
are not decoys and cannot be used as
such will not the national convention, as
did this county convention. applaud and
support them?
The suggestion of a stampede at Chi
cago rests upon much that is risky 1t
claims all Taft delegates, and many
delegates supporting other candidates. 1t
is assumed that the Taft men will be
ready to go over in a body and In a
moment to the President and that scores
of others are at heart for him. There
is room for doubling this appraisement of
matters. The talk about a third term
has been so general that much sentiment
on the subject has been developed. 1t
would be far from safe to say that
Mr.. Roosevelts denomination is impossi-
BILE. but opinion is strong that if it comes
it will not be wholly the result of a
frantic stampede. All chances with the
President as the candidate will have been
calculated. and some of those consenting
to the program will have their doubts as

The Tariff Issue,

The Charleston News and Courier
thus picks the issue:
"The democratic party should pitch
its battle upon tariff reform. One great,
strong, popular issue. appealing to every
man. and woman. too. in the democratic
party and two-thirds of the men and
their wives among the republicans. we'll
and truly presented by democratic
candidate, is enough upon which to win
A fight. The only democratic President
that the country has had since the war
between the states was elected as a
tariff reformer; the time has come when
the republicans bend toward tariff re-
FORM when no man dares to be
standpatter. and when everywhere in
dustrial condition demands a tariff re-
form candidate"
And yet both the democracy's tariff
reform record and the present congress
sional situation are to be considered.
Would they insure success to the democ-
racy on a platform with tariff revision
as it's principal plank?
The democracy came into power in
March, 1885, pledged to new tariff
bill. but it was not until December,
1887. that President Cleveland threw
the influence of his office into the scale
for the redemption Of the party's prom
Use. BY that time he had become very
unpopular for one reason or another
principally because of the way he had
handled federal patronage. Moreover
six months later he tried to hedge, and
was only prevented from doing so by
Henry Watterson, who as chairman Of
the platform committee of the demo-
cratic national convention held the
party to it's tariff professions. So there
was no revision then.
The democracy defeated in November
1888. returned to power in March. 1893, on
platform so extreme in its pledge to
reform the tariff that il was characterized
