The Pistol Habit.

The latest tragedy resulting from the
pistol-owning habit Is particularly dis
tressing. A Chicago man on the eve of
leaving home on a journey undertakes to
explain to the housemaid the workings
Of his revolver, and as the two are stand
ing by window the weapon is discharged
and the ball kills a woman In an adjoin-
ing apartment. 1t may be that Chicago
ans are in such peril of life and property,
owing to the activity of the lawless
classes, that pistols are considered as a
necessary part Of the domestic outfit; but
the chance is that the pistol owner in this
case had never had the least occasion
for using the weapon. His possession of
1t was probably merely a matter Of habit,
the result of foolish notion that man
should go armed. Doubtless, now that
his folly and carelessness have caused
the death of an estimable woman. he will
realize that a pistol is a needless risk.

northern Maryland killed companion

court concluded that the homicide was

account
(2) When should the new law go into ef-
feet? The sooner the better, is the sugges-
tfon of some. Business men, it is held. have
been sufficiently advised Of what is COM
ing, and should want no long time for
preparation to meet the new schedules
when they are announced. Others would
like at least a year of grace. Let the

a year after the President has signed the
new bill.
AS to the amount Of money to be raised.
nothing new on that score enters into
the equation. The deficiency in the
Treasury has not just appeared. The
amount has increased since then, but the
fact existed. and was known, last year.
Lower tariff rates were promised with
that fact in view, Details were, Of course,
not worked out. The time for that ap-
proaches. and Congress must address it
self to solving the problem. The gov
ernments revenues should not run be-
hind. and the governments necessary ex-
penses must be paid.
In several particulars we have differ
ent matter in hand from that presented
at the special session Of Congress in the
spring of 1897. Mr.. Dingley and his lieu
tenants revised a botch of law at a
period Of extreme business depression.
Much of their work was cut out for them
by the failure of their opponents three
years before. The inequalities and mis-
fits of the Gorman-Wilson law, which
was made by men working a t cross-pur-
poses. stood out like bumps on log.
What is now in hand is revising the most
successful tariff law ever enacted. Its
present inequalities and misf1ts proceed
from its extraordinary success. We have
had under 1t twelve years Of an abound
ing prosperity. The tide has sackened in
the past twelve months, but not as the re-
suit Of the operations of the tariff law
The tide is rising again. and the hope is
that it may continue to rise If we can
assist ii with a new law SO much the
better. And we have promised to do So
The republican party has faced, and
solved, far more difficult problems than
the tariff problem now before it. But
however difficult that problem may be. it
must be solved in the spirit of keeping
faith with the country. If bill is pre-
scented to Judge Taft of which he thinks
as unfavorably as Mr.. Cleveland thought
of the Gorman-Wilson bill he will veto
it and a veto would make the tariff issue
more acute than ever for at least two
years to come

A Better Outlook.

The Japanese question looks better
California is recovering her composure,
and Nevada is not hopeless. There is no
outbreak elsewhere. If an understanding
existed to rush things in California, by
an expression of a wide outside support,
1t has failed.
While the President has led, and led
well, in this matter, he has had assist
ance which deserves the highest praise
The California senators promptly re-
sponded to his appeal, and the Nevada
senators followed suit. But one view OBJ
tanned, and that was the national view.
What was best for the whole United
States under existing obligations and
fair appraisement of the future carried
the day at the White House conferences.
The question rose above section and
above party. Senators Perkins and Flint
saw that CALIFORNIA; interests could not
be separated from the national interests.
and Senators Newlands and Nixon, the
one a democrat and the other repub-
lican, saw there was no politics in the
controversy. All Of this is very good and
encouraging.
1t is asserted and seems likely, that
this maneuver in the west was timed to
have an effect on Congress with respect
10 the navy bill. A fleet for the Pacific
figured in all of the talk, and cheap
piece of theatricalism, intended to stir
the blood, closed the debate at Sacra-
mento yesterday. Grove Johnson drafted
a tot of three years. and paraded the
child in his arms in an appeal based on
race prejudice. II failed, and deserved TO
fail Tricks which smack strongly OF
charlatanry are dangerous for their con-
frivers The machinery creaks. and gives
the efforts away.
But the recklessness and stupidity OF
this maneuver should not tell against
most worthy policy. We should have
more ships We should be strong In
the Pacific as IN the Atlantic, and the
increase should be both rapid and steady.
The man who does not want anything
done in this line is not representative of
public sentiment. East and west. the
people have come to see the necessity OF
a strong navy, and the money can be
obtained
This sentiment however. has no bear
ing against Japan. 1t does not mean
war at ALL but peace. We have come to
see what is demanded of us by reason of
our new position among the nations. and
what they are doing. Why should we
stop building. and permit what we have
atioat to rot away. when all the other
great powers are adding to their naval
equipments? How long. by pursuing that
policy should we merit, or receive, their
respectful consideration?
To give this popular and deserving pol
icy a twist posting Japan as our enemy
and committing us to purpose to pre-
pare for her is to injure it and encourage
war. 1t is but little short of crime.
Were that the meaning of our naval in
crease. open and avowed, then two, or
even four. new battleships year would
not f1l the bill. We should need to be
very much stronger all at once, for what
we should be seeking and provoking we
should certainly find.

Individual Inaugural Decorations.

Househoders and business men of
Washington who are contemplating the
decoration of their residences afld business
houses for the inauguration-and all
should do so, on liberal scale-should
take pains to employ materials that will
not be affected by the weather. Every
Washingtonian knows how tickle is the
climate in early March There is abso-
lutely no guarantee against a rain or
snow storm, while high winds may pre-
vail. Occasionally in the past Indictment
weather has been experienced March 3,
with the result of giving the city be-
drasgled appearance Cheap printed stuff
runs" when wet and presents a woe-be-
gone aspect to the beholder. Sometimes
Pennsylvania avenue on the morning of
inauguration day has in spots been a
shameful spectacle, with building fronts
festooned with strips of cloth which were
originally red, white and blue. but which
the rain has reduced to d congIomerate
mess of sadly kaleidoscope streaks.
Small flags of the cheapest sort lose their
sizing and droop in PUPPY atrocity from
their slender sticks, sometimes bent under
the weight.
Better building without any decora-
tons whatever than one treated with such
materials. Good stuffs are TO be had for
very little more than is paid for the
printed goods. and flags that will with
stand moisture are to be bought for small
sums. Each citizen of the capital should
possess at least one good American flag
10 show on such occasions. If every
building in Washington bore on its front
on Inauguration day a single national
banner, even without any other attempt
at decoration the result would be effective
beyond comparison. The inaugural SUBJ
committee on street decoration has given
s timely word of suggestion on this point
which may well be considered now. The
nag ii reminds the people, is designed to
hang free and full from staff or wire, and
should not be draped festooned. The
fiat walls should be treated with well de-
signed forms OF draped goods. of substan-
1ial character and in tasteful combina-
tons of colors. The general scheme is to
use white and green In the main as the
wall cOlors. leaving the reds and blues to
he supplied by the flags themselves. hang
ing beyond the walls.
If the citizens will follow the sugges-
tions of the committee and devote a suf-
ficieut sum in each case to the end OF
providing durable decorations, Washing
ton will present an appearance on the 4th
OF March never equaled In all the local
history.

Art for the Children.
From the indianapolis Star.


We hope that the legislature will lend
favoring ear to the good citizens of In
dianapolis who want to see the art in
stitute and museum of this city CO.
ordinated in an official way with our
public school system. Those of us who
remember how barren the school curricu-
lum of the old days used to be In the
direction of music, literature and art can
not help rejoicing at the admirable way in
which the teachers of today are permitted
to introduce young minds to the beauties
of these important accessories of mod
ern education. No system and no teacher
can impart capacity for these things to
the individual mind, but what can be
done, and is done, is to bring them TO the
notice of the children in a tactful, sug-
geStive way and then wherever the taste
or temperament exists 1t can follow on,
either to achievement of its own or else
to knowledge of these finer things l,y
which life is greatly ennobled and en-
riched. The proposal to bring the art
museum to the children and the children
to the museum is one that the legislature
may rightfully look upon with kindly eye.

"senators and Congressman"

In Chief Wilkes testimony before the
House appropriations committee regard
ing the work of the secret service men,
as published, occurred the following
statement:
IT wish to record the fact that no men,
Der of the secret service or any one act
ing for the secret service has ever shad-
owed congressman or senator"
Entirely apart from the now historic
controversy over the alleged shadow
ing of national legislators, Chief Wilkie
has committed a verbal error which calls
for annexation. 1t may be that he has
subjected himself to rebuke from high
quarters. He employs a phrase that is
common back in the provinces" as the
English say. that prevails even in such
supposedly well informed centers as New
York, and that is heard at times even in
Washington, where the very kindergar
teners are supposed to be trained on the
Constitution.
Congress. let 1t be proclaimed far and
wide for the correction o. misapprehen-
sion. consists of two branches. a Senate
and House of Representatives. Mem
bers of the former are called senators
and members of the latter are called rep
styled congressman" Yet to call a man
congressman usually means. not
strictly a member Of the Congress, and
perhaps a senator or perhaps a repre-
sentative. but a member Of the lower
house. People who come to Washington
from the states usually hunt up their
congressman" at once. A few of them
pay their respects to the senator's. but
as rule the representative from a voters
district is much more accessible, more
affable. more scrupulously attentive to
the little desires of his caller than is the
member of the upper house.
At home the representative is known as
1.-The congressman He is often adj
dressed as congressman He likes the
title. 1t differentiates him from the men,
bers of the state legislature from that
same district, and gives him a designal
ton of his own, which is more than is en-
joyed by the senator, when In his own
state. Here In Washington, with no state
legislature to confuse the case, the con
gresham" loses identity to some extent.
Sometimes a member of the popular
branch is designated as "Mr. Biffkns of
the House." but usually the distinction
is preserved and he is mentioned as Rep
resentative Biffkins.
1t is time that the Senate took this mat
ter into consideration. Chief Wilkes
statement is calculated to spread abroad
an erroneous impression, to the effect
that the House of Representatives is
Congress and that the Senate is some
thing on the side

fling his pistol into the river. Truly a
most remarkable precaution against crime
and accident! This case directs attention
again to the necessity of new legislation
here to regulate the pistol trade by rem
dering it difficult for any person to pro-
cure weapon. There is now pending a
bill that aims at the prevention of crime
by subjecting all dealers in deadly nipple
ments to rigid regulations. In view of the
tragedy In Chicago. which might have
been averted had such a law been en-
acted in season, this bill should be
passed at once.
