was an inspiration that led to the as
semblage OF the veterans of the war into
a great society for the preservation Of the
traditions of that struggle and the instil-
lation Of the principles OF patriotism into
the younger generation. Stephenson's
thought was to perpetuate. not the bitter
ness of the strife but the glory of the
victory, not the rancor Of sectionalism
but the sentiment Of unity which was in
sured by the outcome of the struggle.
The Grand Army OF the Republic Is a
diminishing rank. Year by year the men
are passing who served in the federal
armies during the eos. Each annual en-
campment OF the organization is at
tended by fewer delegates and members
and the parades are becoming shorter.
But no lapse OF time can diminish the
force of the sentiment which underlies
the organisation. The day will come
when only one man remains. the last sur
vivor Of the Grand Army. He may, per-
haps. have been merely a drummer boy,

The Tariff and 1894.

What would have happened il Mr.
Cleveland had vetoed the German Wilson
tariff BILL instead of permitting 1t to be-
come law without his signature?
Some of his friends strongly urged a
veto. And they rested their case on two
grounds. They told him he would do
himself an injustice either by signing the
bill. or letting 1t stand without his ap-
proyal. He had denounced the Senate s
work in the strongest language, as ena-
mating from perfidy and dishonor. And
in private conversation he had elaborated
this denunciation. Such emphasis and
such extreme opposition. his friends
thought. called for a veto. Either by
affixing or withholding his signature he
would become a party to the transaction.
In the second place. as these men rea :
soned, a veto would save the tariff issue
to the party, They saw the possibilities
of the growing feeling over the silver
question. They knew the disarection in
the means by which the repeal OF the
purchasing clause OF the Sherman act
had been secured. and their plan was to
heal that by another campaign on the
tariff, putting the blame for tho failure
who had changed the Wilson bill.
1t is to be added that the advocates of
a veto and another campaign on the tariff
had in view the denomination of Mr..
Cleveland. They wanted him to run
again on every eccount, but principally
as the champion of taHn reform. and
they believed he would be irresistible In
national convention. and later before the
people. as the man who had defeated q
measure violative of the party's tarifY
pledges. The third-term talk gave them
no concern. They thought that the Harri-
son term coming between Mr.. Cleveland
two terms disposed OF that.
But Mr.. Cleveland was not convinced.
He decided that q tainted loaf was better
than no bread. There had been a long
contest before the people. and almost two
years had elapsed since tariff revision
was decresd at the polls. 1t was now
August. and Congress had been busy with

President Tafts action, resembling an
order previously issued requiring the
purchase of the Districts supplies
through the general departmental sup
ply board. is distinctly in the line OF pre-
serving the status of the District gov
eminent as a municipal corporation
rather than as a federal subdivision.
This Is a gratifying evidence that the
Districts position is correctly estimated
at the White House and that the ten
dency to relegate the local municipality
to a distinctly subordinate relationship
to the government. disclosed in the Rey-
nolds report. is not being pursued.
This is more than an academic ques-
tion. 1t is highly undesirable that the
District should bs placed in the posi-
tion OF a federal bureau or department,
removing the local government still fur
Their from the people whom it intimately
affects than 1t is at present Three years
ago Congress amended the laws relating
to the public school system, taking the
power of appointing the school board
from the Commissioners and vesting it
In the Supreme Court Of the District an
innovation which was seriously deplored
as a departure from the home-rule prin-
cipie. Since then there have been nu-
merous suggestions along the same line,
one going SO far as to propose that the
public school system be placed In the
charge of the United States commission
er of education. Fortunately this was
n2t seriously considered by Congress.
President Roosevelt desired to bring
the District under the immediate opera
ton of the federal laws and to reor-
ganize its administration as an appurte-
nance to the national government. His
order including the purchase of District
supplies In the departmental purchase
scheme was a step in this direction. 1t
involved a distinct departure from the
principle of the organic act. That stat
ute organized the District as a munic-
ipality, with virtually independent pow
ers of administration, subject to the
enactment of laws by Congress and the
appointment of certain officials by the
President 1t was the spirit OF the or
ganic act that save for these two func-
tons of legislation and appointment the
people of the District should have a
voice in the management of affairs, ex-
pressed In various ways. The provision
that the civil Commissioners should
have been residents OF the District for
three years prior to appointment was in
line with this recognition Of quasi home
rule.
President Taft by this order gives evil
dence of clear understanding of the
Districts position and of the proper
desire of the District people to pre-
serve what little of local sovereignty
