The Fight for the House.

II Is universally believed that the
Republican chance of electing the next
President is much better than of choos-
ing a majority of members of the next
House of Representatives. The Sixtieth
Congress has not endeared itself to the
country. Speaker Cannon and his man
agerial Soterie have become liability
rather than an asset to their party.
This is plain speaking, but it is true,
and nobody with honesty and grain
of political sense or information about
conditions will deny it.
The country believes that to the ut
most extent that they could dominate,
the Cannon regime in the House stood
squarely in opposition to the Roose-
Welt program in the late session. There
was insurgency among Republicans,
and bitter things were said by a num-
Der of them. on the floor and elsewhere,
about the operation of tie House rules
in the hands Of the men entrusted with
their execution.
1t is manifest that the House man
agement has the courage of its con-
victions. It proposes to fight, and
fight to the end, for its vindication. 1t
nominated Mr.. Sherman, from the
Ru.es Committee, for Vice President. 1t

The New Assessor Begins Well.

A new dispensation in the office of
the District Assessor Is already come
to pass.
Several months ago the president of
the board of stewards IN one OF our
ehurches-not the largest, by any
means-was summoned to the District
building 10 be threatened about the
church taxes. The point at issue was
an assessment for the laying OF a
sewer. According to the story, the
church was willing to pay at any rea-
sonable time before the sewer was laid
while the Assessors Office demanded
money down, and the sewer when you
get it. In their capacity as trustees
the stewards naturally declined the
proposition. And now, within a week
of Mr. Richards accession to office, he
has surprised the president Of the
board by calling upon him in person
mot summOning him instanter TO the
District buiIdingl, and entering upon
a sane, calm, and reasonable discussion
intended to find out who is right in the
premises.
OF course, there is nothing miracu-
lous in this. OF course, the Assessor
has only manifested the strength of a
strong man by attempting to meet hi;
customer half way But his course is
unusual in the history of our District
Assessors Office, and it promise:
nightly well for the new administra
ton OF that office, when it graPple:
with the larger problems now waiting
/ for it TO solve.

attempt to despoil an American state
of its land would be regarded as a
step against the welfare of the United
States. In all that our State Depart
ment has held there has been no will
ingness, above everything no desire or
purpose, to create in any portion of
this hemisphere what Mr. Bryan calls
a twilight zone," where The ordinary
obligations of international intercourse
might be openly or even effectively dis
regarded without possibility of punish
ment
But Castro was quick TO perceive his
opportunity in such premises. No ma
ton would willingly approach a line
involving certain disagreement with
the United States if it were passed. Not
even the United States would incline
to use force in the face of its own doc
trine against intervention nth arms
until title was established beyond rea
sonable doubt. With an army, a
capital isolated, control OF elections,
mastery of the courts, he could cloud
any title upon which any other nation
might base a claim. And on that as
sumption he has run fearlessly across
the track in front of the engine, bark
ing savagely, inviting fight, with ap-
parent immunity from punishment.
he has had one other point in his
favor Not only could he color any
foreign-held title with doubt, but
those which have been the subject Of
disagreement have, heretofore, not
needed much coloring. Our own diff
culties have had to do with the opera
tions of an Asphalt trust shrewdly sus:
pected of having moved against the es-
tablished government of Venezuela
Other nations which have borne insult
and submitted TO outrage have not been
better situated Until this difficulty
arose with Holland, no foreign office
has apparently felt secure to move
against this robDer baron II his crag-
castle-tO change the figure of speech.
In consequence of all this, neither
the United States nor any of the ma
tiOns with which it is on terms of
peace and good will is likely 20 suffer
any keen pangs of regret that Holland
with what appears TO be a clear right
can now force equity. There may
even be, there probably Is, hope that in
the operation the recklesSness and cor
ruption of the Castro gang may be
brought into such light that the PEG
pie of Venezuela will rescue their gov
eminent from hands so dangerous and
unworthy.

THE STORM.

Out rom the red west staggers a ship,
Low creeps a cloud.
It leans 70 the sea livid LIP
And it's breath is loud
Like a beast to the poUnce It stealthily
craWls,
And sudden it leaps and flashes and
falls,
And the mist's turned shroud.
There are six hills stand to the sea
To their heads in foam:
And one Is a cross and stunted tree,
And one is home.
And haycocks toss on the other three
Toss like the cookie out at sea
Where the white waves comb.
Two men lie on the Uttered beach
Dying and dead;
Who knows If their outlung arms be-
seecE
The cross overhead
The withered tree is uptorp or the
shore,
The home is dark fOrevermOre.
And the west is red.

No Twilight for Castro.

The Monroe Doctrine does not es-

United States over the other American
states. Il does not relieve any Ameri-
by International law, nor prevent any
European power directly interested
from enforcing such obligations or from
infiicting merited punishment for the
breach of them.
This is the official reading of
our Monroe Doctrine as it applies to
the relations between Venezuela and
any other government under the sun.

fully as to its failure to pay its debts.

July 20, 1895, by William Olnev, then

will be need for the effort. Out in the
Middle West where they are taking
their politics more seriously this year
than in the East, Cannon and Cannon
ism constitute one of the chief issues
of the campaign. Numerous Eepubli-
can Representative find themselves
confronted with vigorous demand that
they pledge themselves to oppose Can
mons reelection as Speaker Many
districts report that Republican chances

such pledges are secured
The loyalty which his old friends are
displaying for Speaker Cannon is most
creditable TO the men who by his favor
have been made the powerful figures in
the House, but it is only natural. They
are fighting for their own preferment,
as well as his. There is good reason to
believe it would have been better poll
tics to keep he present House man
agerial clique less prominent before
the country during the coming canvass.
1t is not necessary TO assume that
these men are animated by other than
the highest motives. The cold fact Is
that they stand very Lsdly with the
country Just now, and that too much
enforced contemplation of them in the
cal acity of party leaders is going TO
increase the country's prejudice against
program which means their retention
at the head of the House.

Hartman to Gould'S Rescue.

Z. H. Hartman and George ]. Gould,
once warm friends, later bitter enemies,
have buried the hatchet, according to
press dispatches, and resumed old-time
relations. The terms of the pact, how
ever, were dictated by Mr.. Hartman,
which means that Mr.. Hartman takes
tn, chicken, leaving the feathers to MIR.
Could and those associated with him in
the badly managed plan for an indie
pendent Ocean-to-ocean system, with
Baltimore the Eastern terminus.
Fate has dealt harshly with the we'll
meaning Mr.. Gould. 1t was the am
bition of his father, the late Jay
Gould, to control and operate a trans
continental line. His son and successor
in the management of great railroad
systems determined TO carry out his
fathers ideas
Elaborate plans were prepared, but
Mr.. Gould neglected to provide him
self with the sinews Of war, which he
invited when he decided to invade the
territory of the Pennsylvania in the
East and the territory of Mr.. Harri-
mans Union Pacific and Southern
Pacific systems in the Middle West and
the Far West. Pennsylvania and Har-
riman interests made common cause
against Mr.. Gould, with the result that
almost insurmountable obstacles were
encountered at every turn.
Mr. Gould set out to build a system
extending from Baltimore to San Fran
cisco along ideas he had formed, and
to be managed regardless of what
others said or thought This was com.
mendable in a young man. 1t showed
that he was possessed of true Aneri
can independence. But in these day:
of high finance something more sub
stantial than independence is required
with which to build and equip rail
roads. His projects drifted.
Then the financial storm broke
When the wreckage had been cleared
it was found that the Western Mary
land, the Wheeling and Lake Erie, Wa
bash, Pittsburg Terminal and Interna
tional and Great Northern, all Gould
properties, had sought safety in re
ceiverships.
1t was then that the thrifty Harri
man, the wizard of the financial anC
railroad world, the man who controls
over $4,000 miles Of railroad mileage
with a total capitalization of S4,Ol9,
100000, appeared on the scene and of
fered to help finance the needs of hi
rivals properties provided that he b.
given voice in the management. Mr.
Gould has intimated that tt proffere,
assistance will be accepted.
Whatever may be said OfA1r Harri
