Length Of the Next Session.

1t was President Harrison who said of
Mr.. Roosevelt, then a civil service COM
missioner, that he wanted to do every
thing at once-was inclined to overload
himself and others with public business
When Mr.. Roosevelt reached the presi-
dency this good-natured criticism was re-
called, and the pace he at once set again
justified the observation. He undertook
an enormous amount of work himself,
and In his messages to Congress cut out
more work for that body than II could
have performed had 1t remained in ses-
sion the whole year round.
Mr.. Taft. though Industrious. Is no glut-
ton for work. but II we get a correct line

The Local Needs.

Inasmuch as 1t is altogether probable
that changes will be made either in in
crease or curtailment Of the Commits
sioners' estimates when the District ap-
preparation bill is prepared by Congress
it Is virtually incumbent upon the Com
missioners in their statement OF the local
needs to go to the limit of the congress
sional restrictions and report the actual
requirements of the capital to the full ex-
tent Of the prospective revenues, regard
less Of the underlined provision for par
tial repayment within the next fiscal year
Of the federal advances to the District.
The fact that Congress has commanded
the Commissioners to estimate only to
the extent Of the expected revenues does
not guarantee that the bill will be writ
ten in terms to involve that exact ex-
penditure. The appropriation to be passed
during the coming session may be
considerably moro than the 81, 900 .000
suggested by the estimates Of income, or
1t may be somewhat less. Indeed, 1t is to
be hoped that 1t will be more In order
that the necessary additions to tho mu-
nicipal equipment. properly to be CLASH
fed as permanent improvements, may be
provided for.
sioners should leave strictly with Con-
gress the determination Of how much the
District should repay to the Treasury dur
ing the fiscal year and whether any fur
Their federal advances should be made.
No arbitrary percentage Of repayment is
contemplated. It is only an assumption
that during the next year one-fifth of the
amount now owing shall be refunded to
the United States. an assumption which
is practically an invasion Of the congress
sional prerogative.
The estimates should be regarded as q
statement of what the District requires
to enable 1t to perform the functions of q
municipal administration. They should
include. unfortunately now within the
limits OF the exact revenues expected, all
the requirements, both Of current mainte-
nance and Of permanent improvement. II
half q million dollars 10 to be the allot-
ment Of refunding during the next fiscal
year 1t is not for the Commissioners to
say which Of the many items OF local
need shall be sacrificed to this end. Con-
gress has assumed q responsibility In the
premises for the determination of tho OBJ
jects which must be curtailed and passed
over in order that the present system of
approximate cash payments for large
works may be maintained.
1t may be that Congress will go further
in its policy Of restriction and write into
the next appropriation act a specific slip
ulAtion OF annual repayment. If this is
done the Commissioners can, of course,
only submit and prepare their budget &C.
cordingly. But until that is done the
course of consistency Is to proceed as far
as permissible with a repetition of the
recommendation that the District be
granted the privilege Of long term pay
ments for permanent works which Is in
herent in every other municipality and
which is the basis OF good management
in all large business institutions.

Bartlett's disappointment.

Commander Peary may possibly prove
that DR.. Cook did not reach the north
pole, but nothing can ever lessen the feel
ing that in his own hour of triumph he
exhibited a degree of self1shness for
which his yeats of persistence can hardly
atone. The story that Is told by Capt.
Bartlett. his navigator on many voyages,
upon whose skill and courage depended
his own success, will arouse the indigna-
ton of the American people and cause
them to be less interested than ever in
the question of whether Peary was the
first or the second white man to reach
the pole.
Bartlett had no intimation that he was
to be left behind when the Anal dash to
the pole was made. He had every reason
to believe that he of all men would be
permitted without question to go on to
the goal. He had no desire to lessen his
chiefs prestige by participating in the
conquest over the ice. He simply wished
to crafty the instructive desire of the
explorer to reach the objective. The com.
mand to remain in the rear was a bitter
disappointment. In all the annals of
polar exploration there Is no more pa
thetic chapter than the tale told In a
9 moment of emotion by this hardy sailor
4 Of the frozen sea-
Had there been any physical necessity
to reduce the party at the last dash to
the lowest possible numbers Commander
Peary would have been justified in send
Ing back those who were absolutely nee
essary to the success OF the home-golng
expedition. But there was no lack of pro-
Visions or Of dogs and no need to refuse
share In the satisfaction Of polar at
stainment to one or two of the white men
who had SO faithfully assisted the ex-
plorer. The presence Of Henson at the
pole with Peary proved that the reduc-
ton Of the party was not a matter of
need. but Of selfish sentiment, and what.
ever may come In the future to the dis.
orediting Of his rival or to his own recoz.
milton as the pioneer polar discoverer thi,
single episode will be remembered and
viii not be forgiven.
