The Sunken Steamboat.

With the Alexandria and the federal au-
thorities investigating the circumstances
of Sunday mornings river accident the
truth will undoubtedly be disclosed. 1t
is vitality important that the cause of
this disaster should be brought to light
1t is by no means a reassuring spectacle
when a Potomac river boat lists at a
Wharf ami dumps its passengers over
board ard causes death. The suggestion
is inevitable that the boat has been over
crowded with either freight or passengers.
The important inquiry in the case ques-
tons how it is possible for a boat of
such character to be put in service and
I" 1emain i'll service until its defect has
been disclosed by tragedy. The is
sCance OF a government license is sup
posed to be guarantee to the public
that the boat is safe under all permissi-
BILE conditions of traffic. An accident
therefore to a steamer thus licensed to
ply the local waters strongly suggests
that the license was incorrectly issued
In the beginning or that the conditions
Of its issuance have been violated
or course accidents" may happen even
TO the most carefully built and carefully
managed boats. but in the case of the
Trenton there would seem to be little of
the nature of an accident i'm Sundays
happening. This, of course, is for the
Investigators to determine. When the
General Slocum burned in the East river
a few years ago there was a great hue
and cry over the fallibility OF the federal
inspection service, and 1t was hoped that
the catastrophe, appalling I'm its pro-
portions. would surely remedy all exist
ing defects in the system. OF course with
its present force the government is clearly
unable TO maintain close inspection over
every boat throughout the season, and it
must trust as indeed must the public in
tile last analysis, TO the intelligent self
interest of steamboat managers and
owners for such a consideration of the
laws and regulations and the require
ments of common sense as will safe
guard human life under all conditions.

Public Buildings.

Striking evidence of the necessity for
early action on the Hepburn bill to ac-
quire for the government the lands lying
between the avenue and the Mall is afford
ed by the bill introduced yesterday by Sen
ator Carter to provide additional quarters
for the census office. According to this
measure the government is to buy the site
of the present census building and land
adjacent and to erect a modern building
thereon at a cost of not more than
quarter of a million dollars. Such SUM
would undoubtedly serve to produce
building suitable for the site. 1t would.
however be absolutely inadequate for the
erection of a census Office home common
surate with the dignity of the. United
States
The government has treated itself shah
billy in the past in some instances in the
matter Of providing buildings 1t has
skimped and saved when it might profit
ably have spent literally. 1t has contin-
ued for many years to pay rents for en-
tirely inadequate departmental and bu-
reau buildings. suffering as a result. in
both purse and equipment. The lack of
consistent building policy such as that
established by the Hepburn bill has de-
its capital outfit.
With the government in possession of
the Mali-avenue triangle it will have op-
portunity always at hand for any con-
ceivable building enterprise. 1t will be
then enabled to take when it will the
land it may need for any new or neg
lected construction purpose. 1t will. how
overland this is one of the most impor-
tant aspects of the proposition-be. in 4
measure. compelled to harmonic it's de-
signs and to hold to systematic high
standard. Undoubtedly in it's progressive
moods Congress appreciates the necessity
of keeping the standards high in the mat
ter of the public building equipment in
this city. and its lapses from such a pol
icy have in the main been attributable
TO the ridiculous. uneconomical, hand-to-
mouth process of buying a site when the
urgency became too great to be ignored.
and without regard to any system of en-
placements. OF late years, however. the
folly of this course seems to have become
plair to most members of both houses of
Congress-

Mr.. Bailey at Denver.

Mr.. Bailey at Denver should be able
to choose his work. and presumably he
will ask assignment to the platform COM
mttee He is not opposed TO Mr.. Bryan
nomination. but he differs with the Ne
braskan about certain measures, and
these may occupy attention in the shap-
ing of the conventions deliverance.
In 1896 Mr.. Bailey thought Mr.. Bryan
a populst. So much, indeed did he resent
the latter's first Nomination that he
threatened to leave office rather than
support him. 1t is interesting to con-
slider what the result might have been
had Mr. Bailey carried out his threat.
II was before his reputation had become
national. and he might have gone hence
politically and been no more known.
Texas. which has remained loyal to Mr..
Bryan all these years. might have re-
fused further honors to the man who had
declined to acknowledge the Bryan leader
ship. So that instead of being one OF
her foremost politicians today. Mr. Bailey
might be one of her foremost lawyers
in private practice.
Both of the Texas senators are opposed
to government ownership and operation
of railroads. In an address to the Texas
legislature on the subject in April, 1907
Mr.. Culberson said:
THE ablest and most conspicuous ad-
vocate of the doctrine in America voiced
his views in a notable speech last Au-
gust in Madison Square Garden, Metz

seems. as is his nomination for the presi-

will especially suffer-
1t may be that the opponents of this
policy will not be called upon to fight it
at Denver SO far as Mr.. Bryan's initia-
tive is concerned. He is not pressing 1t
now. He seems to have sounded the
depths of the democratic disfavor. and to
have put the issue in cold storage. But
he has not disavowed it. and it is known
that the republicans intend to make use
Of his Madison Square Garden speech in
their efforts to prove that Mr.. Bryan
would be an unsafe man in the White
House.
For this reason many democrats. who
expect and desire Mr.. Bryan to be the
candidate. are considering whether in
dealing with the railroad question at the

party to declare in the platform. in a
way inoffensive to Mr.. Bryan. against
government ownership at this time. In
such a discussion Mr.. Bailey. who il d

preston. should render excellent service.

Nixon and Croker.

Lewis Nixon. now on the ocean on his
way to England, -hastens to deny by
wireless message the report that his
mission is to have Richard Croker exert
his influence with Tammany Hall in be-
half of Mr.. Bryan. He would like while
absent to see Mr. Croker, but hardly
hopes for the pleasure. Nevertheless Mr.
Nixon as a delegate at large to Denver
is a recognition by Tammany of Mr.
Cookers continuing influence in the or
ganization. He was "discovered'' by Mr..
Croker, and is supposed to have some
goOd-natured pull with the old chief. No
question as to Mr.. Croker's Partially for
Mr.. Bryan was raised until he was quoted
as recommending quiet man for his
party. Then everybody jumped to the con-
clusion that he had changed his mind
about this years leadership. Maybe Mr.
Nixon. despite other calls on his time
while abroad, will see, or in some way
communicate with Mr. Croker and obt ain
something to guide by at Denver.

DISPOSE of Brownsville Now.

Mr.. Foraker is entirely right as re-
spects disposing of the Brownsville mat
ter at this session. Everything advises
such course. Both sides have been
heard and Congress should be ready to
vote Whoever may have shot up the
little Texas town. responsibility has not
been fixed on any person; and what
should be done now is the undoing of the
injustice inflicted on the accused battal-
ion. The discharged soldiers should De
readmitted to the army upon terms OF
absolute fairness to them. Prior to this
affair all of the men stood we'll, and some
of them were veterans with excellent rec
ords in both camp and field.
Let us consider the two propositions ap-
plying in the premises: First. If YOU
please. the political proposition. For it is
impossible to eliminate politics from the
equation.
The republicans cannot afford to leave
the matter i'm its present shape. Every
body knows that the negro vote in all OF
the debatable territory has been imperiled
for the republican party by the Pres1-
dents action. The negroes resent the dis
charge of the members of their race from
the army i'm circumstances which. they
believe. would not have cost white men
their uniforms But this feeling may be
largely If not entirely. allayed by repair
ing the injury inflicted With the dis
charged men all restored to the muster
rolls. their friends. black and white, could
afford to let bygones be bygones. The
chapter could be closed very we'll right
there.
Turning then to the second proposition
the effect upon the army. A poll has never
been taken. and could not be taken now.
But it is altogether likely that the army,
officers and men, If polled. would vote to
readmit the discharged troopers. There
lie every reason why they should.
AS for the terms of readmission, it
ought not to be difficult to arrange them.
There are lawyers on both sides of the
question. and all purely legal points in
dispute should yield to discussion. Lay
men are naturally impressed with the gen.
eral proposition that accused men should
not be required to prove their innocence,
and that the Official who has in anticipa-
tion of the submission of evidence pro-
nounced a sentence of guilty on accused
men is hardly the one to take up subse-
quently the question of their innocence.
Blu. there is nothing in the case which,
whether considered politically judicially.
or in anywise. would excuse leaving it
as unfinished business by this session of
Congress.

his moral character. and he Is in all tech

the service. 1t Is said. however. that he

him to precipitate trouble with both su-
