For Mr.. CortelyOu to Do.

Fy providing a site for at least
one new departmental building.
Congress has provided also for
three distinct gains
]. In economy.
2 In efficiency.
3 In pride of patriotism.
The present situation of the De-
Partment of State, the Department
of Justice, and the Department of
Commerce and Labor is an extrava-
gance, a bar to efficiency, and an
affront 10 the pride of a people any
where above the level of bank
ruptcy. Congress meets the situa-
tion tardily-there is little likeli-
hood that new quarters for these
departments can be finished before
July /, 1912-but il has met it, and
the fact justifes general satisfac-
ton through the whole country.

.SLAV EXPOSITION
MAY HIT GERMANS
Demonstration VIII BE
Made in Moscow,
in 1910.

ST. PETERSBURG. June IA prop
osition TO hold a great pan-SlaVlc eA-
position in Moscow in 1910 is the most
definite outcome of the visit to 81.
Petersburg, which came to an end to
day, of NM. Kramarcz, Hribar, Glebo-
whisky, and Markoff, Slav deputies IN
the Austrian parliament
The idea has been received with great
favor and committees have been APP
pointed TO report on the foundation Of
a Slavic bank. Closer commercial re-
lations between the Slav races have
been advocated, but no definite steps
TO this end have been taken.
The leaders at the conferences that
have been held here have made every
endeavor to conceal the anu-German
nature of their propaganda. They pro-
claim officially that the movement Is
purely cultural. and that IT has no po-
httCal significance The keynote OF
many OF the speeches made, however.
was the necessity OF making Austria
e slavoniC state, OF breaking the ALI
ance with Germany and putting a stop
to the pan-Germanic impetus 70 the
east"
The question Of pan-Slavism has en-
crossed practically the entire attention
OF the St Petersburg press for the last
week Almost all the newspapers ad-
vocste this idea with enthusiasm. and
consider II supplementary 10 the British
system OF ententes by which the iso-
lation Of Germany in Europe Is 10 be
accomplished.
But the Polish and Macedonian ques-
lions are regarded as rocks upon which
the pan-Slavlc movement Is extremely
likely TO be wrecked and, for these
reasons, the leaders kept the Polish
problem IN the background, and de-
cided not to invite representatives Of
the Balkan Siavs. who would be unwill-
ing TO subordinate their particular in
.terests TO the general pan-Slavic prob
lem.

FilibuSter and Force Bill.

The threat of a cloture rule in
the Senate, and of passing a bin to
reduce Southern representation and
secure Federal control of elections,
served the purpose of passing the
currency bill. At least, that threat
made the Democrats fear to come
to the reinforcement of the fiji
busters, and was at least useful
TO the extent of ending the fiji
buster sooner than would otherwise
have been possible.
But il is hard to believe that the
Republicans seriously propose TO
undertake force legislation again
It must be clear TO the sober-minded
members of the party that such an
effort, coupled with reduction of
Southern representation, would as
suredly plunge this country into
sectional hatred once more.
The Spanish war was worth all 1t
cost, for that il restored TO all sec
tions the feeling of national unity,
of common purpose, of continent
wide devotion to one flag and one
Government. But suppose, after all
these years, a blind leadership shall
take the country back 10 the
hatreds and the suspicious of recon
struction days; shall deprive the
South of all IL has gained through
the travail of a generations effort
to establish good government under
the new scheme of affairs which fol-
lowed the civil war; shall attempt
to legislate one party into power
for another generation, and an
other out of power forever? What
would be the results Of such d
policy?
The very men who, coming from
Northern districts where there is
no race issue, insist that the South
ought 10 give the ballot to its col
ored citizens. refuse the ballot to
the District of Columbia. and give
what reason? First and foremost,
they say that it would not do to
allow the ballot in this District be
cause a third of the population is
composed of members of the col
ored race!
True, Washington has the most
intelligent. capable, and thrifty sec
ton of the colored population to be
found in the country. True, again,
the proportion of colored people
here is less than in several of the
States in the black belt.
If the Republicans should lose
control of the House in the Novem-
Der election of this year, it is quite
conceivable that narrow PARTISAN
ship would dictate a determined eff
fort to pass legislation which should
so reduce the Democratic strength in
the next House thereafter, as to
assure Republican control. But that
such counsels would prevail, and
such legislation actually be enacted
by the short session of the present
Congress next winter is beyond be
