The dominating element in the Jew ish calendar for some weeks to come is the counting of the Omer A ceremony Intimately associated with the land of Palestine and with the temple service, 1t has been nothing more than a mere historic reflection since the days of the temple, that is to say, roughly speaking for close upon 2,000 years But 1t has held it's firm place in the Jewish ritual. and inevitably there have clustered around it associations sohlewhat diff ferent from It's original ceremony.

Berlin or Paris diplomatic circles is a
renter he must take such house as
IS offered for hire furnished; he chooses
one here, his successor one there, and
the next one somewhere else, while
Turkey owns her minister's home and
has the credit of a stability not un-
like that of any other tenant who lives
in his own house.
Finally, primal principle of diplo-
matte intercourse is violated, The
theory is that our embassy in Paris
is ours, that it stands on American
soil, that it is an island of refuge for
Americans which none can violate with
impunity. As a matter of fact, it is so
much an island OF refuge that the
United States, Splendid, opuIent, proud
as she is, cannot even fly its own flag
over it.
Once Americans understand the full
significance of such a situation it is
incredible they will not correct it.

A Good Work Hampered.

Howard University had on its rolls
last year 1901 eolored youth. With
institutions like Fiske and Hampden, it
is one of the sources of real and lasting
uplifJ for the American negro. What
his race needs is not so many degrees in
medicine and law, but teachers for col
ored children. Every city with any
thing like Washington's problem cries
out for competent Instructors for its
colored classes Howard and its sister
colleges provide them-and give impetus
to the ambition and self-respect of col
ored boys and girls through all tae
lower grades of their education.
Yet today the National Government
allows this work to 90 on in buildings
which have parallels in the District of
Columbia only in the wretched struc,
lures allotted to the Board of Educa-
tion as public schools. The ceilings are
so high as TO waste fuel, the stairs are
rickety, the educational equipment
either poor or poorly accommodated.
No wonder the President protests
that Congress negIects Howard while it
millions for the education
of the Eskimos and red men. Howard
needs a general re-equipment. White
citizens of the District of Columbia who
have understanding of the close and in
innate relation which this race bears
to theirs hygienically, sociologieally,
edueationally, viii only serve them
selves by helping this college get tools
to work with.

A Little Matter-FOr Others.

Mr.. White said that when the Amer
lean nag was run up at half-mast on
the death Of eN-Presideut Cleveland
other tenants in the building occupied
by the embassy objected and he was
forced TO haul down the flag. If the
United States had owned the house
there would have been no EN- barrass-
ment
1t is a lite matter, of course, this
lowering of flag over the American
embassy in Paris. 1t did not signify
much, only a formal acknowledgment
of a bereavement not one Frenchman
in a thousand could understand. When
the flag came down, no one noticed it
and the Incident did not even occasion
gossip.
But is it so little? Does it amount
to nothing that the American Govern
ment cannot even pay "a former Ex-
ecutive the tribute of publicly ac-
knowledging his demise as the least i'm
portant principaIity OF middle Europe
would acknowledge the passing away
of the least important king? Does it
conform with our pride and self-respect
that no one in great capital like
Paris shall notice our formalities as
the formaIties of Hayti or Bulgaria
are noticedE
But hanging a flag at half-mast is
not the only matter in which our Amer
lean neglect of our legations is costly

Where We May Come In.

America 5 general-and fortunate-iu-
dependence of the imbroglio in south
eastern Europe does not mean that she
has no interests at stake. On the con
trary, there is one interest threatened
which may prove of vital importance
TO almost any Yankee tourist whose
route includes Constantinople, or the
Holy Lands.
Turkish courts are not regarded by
travellers as the hest in the world, and
this opinion has been backed so Wig
orously that practically all other ma
tions have secured TO their citizens the
right to be tried for offenses alleged
10 have been committed on Turkish
soil by consular courts presided over
by a representative of their own home
government. This right cannot be an
nuIled by word of mouth. 1t cannot
even be set aside by an European con
gress TO which this government is not
a party. And there is already an in
dication that effort may be made 10
annUl it.
The explanation is that Turkey must
be granted some recOmpense for the
changes which Europe has suffered to
be made in her domain contrary to the
conclusions OF the Ber'in conference.
These so-called caPitularies, or extra
territorial courts, are peculiarly CALLING
to the loyal Turk. Japan has lately
been relieved Of a similar aversion.
Why, then, should not the disestablish-
ment of these tribunals be substituted
for pecuniary compensation?
The question is not impossible. The
moment it is asked, America is con
cerned in the answering of it. If it be
asked, we shall find that our aloofness
has been more of q theory than a fact.

,THAT old, gray h-'ck building
ladies and geDL men, which
YOU see standing on the south
east corner Of Thirty-hfth
street and Volta place. was formerly
the home of DR.. Alexander Melville
Bell.
..Tbe house was built about lS45 by
Timothy O'Nen. who was a contractor
and builder. It is said that he never
lived in his new home, as his death
occurred Just prior TO its completion.
Until 1875, or thereabOut it was the
residence of the two sons, William and
Tames O'Nei. when it was closed up
and remained vacant for many years.
In 1881, IT became the residence. of
pr. Alexander Melville Bell. who lived
in the house until attacked by the ill
ness which resulted in his death. AU-

What of Mr.. Bryan Now?

A lesser defeat, the gain of half &
dozen small States, would have left Mr.
Bryan factor in the fight for the Dem
Ocratic nomination of 1912. The elec
tion of 1908, however, was as decisive
against him in his newer character as
those of 1896 and 1900 were against him
in his older character. New policies
have not made him, and by this show,
ing cannot make him, acceptable to the
people of this nation.
The Democratic electoral vote in the
first Bryan campaign was l49 In 1900
it was l55- in 1908 it is now I4S, with
West Nirginia's Z votes, MaryIand's s
votes, and Missouri's Is votes vet in
doubt II all 33 of these votes shall ul-
timately 90 to him, the Democratic
total viii be Isl against I49 twelve
years earlier; and in the meantime the
total of the electoral college has been
increased by 63 votes, which would
make this gain in the space of four
elections almost precisely equal to De
mocracy's natural share.
In other words, the most favorable
construction of last Tuesdays election
Is that Mr.. Bryan has gained nothing in
ali the years and with all his promi-
nence in the public eye since his cross
of-gold speech in Chicago in 1895. This
was the judgment of pereeiving Demo
Gratis all over the country before the
recent convention of delegates in Den
Yer. That il was disregaTded was due
to Mr.. BTyan's control of the organiza-
tion in his own party, and that organi-
ZatiOn--it should be said in fairness
only reflected the devotion of thousands
of his fellow party men.
But here Is a demonstration which
must reach 20 the least thoughtful of
Democrats. He has been given a chance
never before vouchsafed 20 any Ameri-
can. He has been honored with three
nominations without single victory,
He has failed the third time-in a con
test which has elected five other Demo
Gratis TO be governors of States which
he could not carry. Ii he is to be con-
tinued in the leadership it must be man
ifestly to the continued disaster and
probably to the disintegration Of his
party.
Surely this Is a lesson which the De
mocracy cannot fail to ponder With
John johnson. thrice a winner. not a
failure, against Mir. Bryan's landslide
losses of Minnesota, with Judson Har-
mon carrying the Republican candi-
dates own State, with these men and
other party leaders mhampered by the
guaranty-of-deposits, government-own-
ership-of-railroads free-silver record of
Mr. Bryan, it is hard to believe the mil
lions of Democrats have such appetite
Tor the husks of defeat that they viii
continue him at the party's head, either
as the candidate or the boss. If Mr..
Bryan has genuine, deep, and intelligent
regard for his party, he viii presently
make it unmistakable that he does not
ask it.
