Bishop of Washington.
From the Baltimore American

FROM the Baltimore American.
Rev. Albert Harding, upon whom has
devolved the bishopric that was held
by the late Bishop Satteree, will enter
upon a career of greatly widened useful
ness, the see of Washington is becom-
ing increasingly one of the most dignitied
and influential OF the Episcopal Church.
The bishop-elect is widely known in Bal
timore through his connection with a par
ish in this city that brought him into
active relations with its church life
The new bishop has proved himself,
both here and during his rectorship, COW
ering a number Of years in the Capital
city. to be man of comprehensive view
of tried discretion. of self-possession and
possessing the faculty of wise counsel
He achieved the emnence to which he
has been raised over other ministers of
high influence spoken of prominently for
the position. So that the selection may
be taken indication he embraces the
elements of general acceptability. His
Baltimore friends will unite with those in
Washington in congratulating the churches
OF his jurisdiction upon the election of
one whom they will grow to appreciate
more and more as his work among them
reveals his qualifications in practical ex-
erciSe.

Bishop Harding.

After having on two occasions chosen
as their bishop churchmen who felt in
conscience compelled to decline the honor
in order to continue the work in other
fields. the Episcopalians of WASHINGTON
have finally selected one OF their own
local clergy to fill the post left vacant by
the death of the late Bishop Satterlee,
Their choice ia wise one. Bishop-elect
Harding has served in a local pastorate
for twenty-one years, and has in that
time endeared himself not only to his pa :
rfshioners. but to all others of his de-
nomination with whom he has come in
contact. In an transformations manner he
has identified himself with the welfare of
the CITY and is recognized now as one Of
the forces making for the uplift of the
capital community. DR.. Harding fully
meets the requirements of the Washing
ton bishopric. 4 scholarly man, a broad
minded man and withal vigorous
worker he is we'll qualified to undertake
the task assigned to him. that of upbuild-
ing the diocese and continuing the great
work undertaken by Bishop Satterlee for

Its size and character of the federal CITY
He will enter upon his high office with

but his methods are practical and he will
doubtless be a worthy successor to the
man whose death last winter caused gen.

days having interviewed, that the joint
President in the following language:
That the Secretary of the Interior is
hereby authorized and directed to grant
q permit to the committee on inaugural
ceremonies for the use of the pension
building in the city of Washington on the
occasion of the inauguration Of the Pres
ident- elect on the fourth day of March,
1903. subject to such restrictions and reSu-
atoms as the said Secretary may pre-
scribe as to the period and manner of
such use, including all necessary safe
guards against fire and for the exiting uish-
ment of fire.
II has been pointed out that either
the pension office or the new National
Museum building will answer the purposes
of the citizens committee for holding the
inaugural ball next March. The ball is
a necessity under the present system of
financing the Inauguration expenditures
There is little likelihood of obtaining from
Congress an appropriation to defray all the
expenses of the ceremonies next March,

witt out failing in their duty to the peo-
pie of Washington. It is inevitable in
deed, that Congress even going to an
extreme of curtailnnent, should involve
the District in deficit, such are the
obligations incurred in the past in the
way Of both permanent works and cur
rent maintenance
The Commissioners are urging Congress

separating the two classes of items. those
pertaining TO the administration of the
municipal government. and those relating
to the improvements of permanent
character. They urge. with an undivided
publ" sentiment in their support that

prises Is betrayed on a cash or short

the District be given the benefit of its
revenues on the principle which obtains
in business circles and which governs in
all other cities-nanely. that the cost OF
permanent works is properly a charge
upon future income and that the tax
payers Of the present be given in terms

their contributions to the treasury.

Killing of Carmack.
From the Baltimore Sun.

The quality of justice in Tennessee-and,
1t may be fairly said, the quality of Ten
nessee civilization-will be subjected to Il
severe test when the man who killed Ed
ward w. Carmack, editor of the Nashville
Tennesseean, Monday is arraisned for
trial before jury of his peers. Mr.. Car
mack was the victim of a crime which
has all the elements of premeditated muir
der. We do not believe that thoughtful
men in Tennessee stand for cold blooded
murder. The man who killed Mr.. Carmac X
was not restrained by the circumstance
that he was executing vengeance in the
presence of a woman. that her life was
imperiled and that the lives of persons on
the street-women and children-Were
jeopardized. In his eagerness TO kill he
took no heed of the safety of spectators.
1t was. in so far as we are able to judge
from the dispatches. deliberate murder.
1t did not arise above the level of a killing
in street fight, with all the chances
against the victim. We cannot think that
Tennessee stands for crime of this
abominable character.

The Kaiser and His People,

The debate in the reichstag at Berlin
over the kaiser's interview on the Beer
war. printed in London, worked to a eli
max which appears likely to lead to bet
ter things for the empire In effect the
people, through their chosen representa-
tive, have rebuked the head of the state
for his undiplomatc irregular interior
ence in the affairs o. a neighboring state.
In view of the many evidences of change
in the German attitude toward the gov
eminent that have appeared during the
past few years yesterdays proceedings
must be regarded as revolutionary. AS
the case stands. they are distinctly express
sive of the new thought which governs
the German people No longer is the
kaiser regarded as beyond criticism. as
the present exponent of the divine right
of kings. He may be the father of his
people in a sense, but not to the extent
of being beyond the laws which govern
modern rulers. Indeed, if he does not
take warning from yesterdays demon
stration of public resentment at his in
discretion he is likely to find himself in
a serious predicament. Thus far the dis
patches indicate that he has realized the
danger of a defiant course and is content,
for the present at least. to suffer cur
tailment of his individual prerogative in
the interest of harmony between him and
his people.
Sympathy may properly be expressed
for Chancellor Won Buelow in this situa-
ton. He has virtually been standing be-
tween the devil and the deep blue sea.
Himself an aristocrat in full sympathy
with the autocratic principles cherished
by the emperor, he has fallen into a re-
lation of responsibility to the German
electorate In a manner not originally con-
templated under the present organization
of the state. According to the old view
the chancellor was the personal official
servant of the emperor, his mouthpiece.
his defender and subject at all times to
his will. The new view, which up to
date prevails, has rendered the chan
cellor responsible to the reichstag rather
than to the kaiser. If this departure from
tradition is maintained it. means no less
than a revolution, quite as effective as
though it took the form of a warlike
manifestation of popular will.
The chancellor yesterday gave what
may be accepted as an assurance that
the kaiser will not again transgress in
the matter of interference In foreign
affairs save through the established chan
nels 1t is inconceivable that he gave
such an assurance without consultation
with the emperor. Therefore his speech
before the reichstag must be accepted as
the kaiser's surrender. In any view OF
the case. however, Won Buelow's position
becomes pathetic and his long continu-
ance in office is not to be expected. The
times have changed in Germany and new
men will shortly appear on the scene.
