The Vernal Muse.

The merry spring approaches
To wake the gentle song.
Which annually rises
To cheer the general throng.
But where are all the blossoms
That should begin to bud?
They're mostly in concealment
Down yonder In the mud!
The satirist disdainful
Oft mocks the vernal muse,
Because her dancing measures
Seem clogged by overshoes.
The pathway she is treading
Becomes an oozy flood
Her rhythrns hold most lamely-
Her feet are in the mud.

Mr.. Roosevelt passed from the assistant
secretaryship Of the navy-an ONCE he
hal obtained with difYlculty-to the presi-
dency Of the United States. Mr.. Hughes.
in only q few months Time emerged
from the comparative obscurity OF q law
ONCE. and became, the most striking and
influential figure in the politics Of the
greatest state In the Union.
4 little over thirty days ago Mr. Ha-
vens was unknown outside Of Rochester.
and wholly unconnected there with po-
litical speculation. He had passed the
fifty-year mark without manifesting po-
litical ambition, and probably cherished
none. Suddenly death caused a vacancy
in the ONCE Of representative in Congress.
and his availability as a candidate for
the place dawned upon the managers Of
his party. The rest is the Invest. latest
history. Today the Rochester attorney
is described as the Rochester statesman,
and 1t IL seriously proposed to make him
his party's candidate for governor.
There are some things to consider. 1t
does not follow that because Mr.. Havens
on Tuesday swept the Rochester district
against local boss under a cloud, who
practically had nominated himself, he
could sweep the state in November
against republican nominated with care
and a due regard for tho new conditions
in the state. That is another proposition
altogether.
And then a Havens triumph for govern
or would inevitably mean q Havens boom
for President, and that would put the
nose of the Gaynor boom out Of joint,
not to mention the disaster to the Har-
mon boom. the Marshall boom, and other
little booms that are modestly booming
here and there. But as the democratic
state convention is some five months
away the New York democrats have time
for canvassing the whole situation.

From the Chicago Record Herald.
The philanthropy department of the
Chicago Woman's Club is planning a
series of Sunday afternoon concerts at
the Art Institute for the benefit Of those
who cannot pay the prices charged dur
ing the season by the high-class orches-
tras. 1t is proposed to fix the admission
fee at 10 cents and to provide the best
kinds Of good music, well interpreted, Of
the melodious and stimulating order.
The idea is in every way commendabie,
although 1t is fair to recognize that the
quality Of Chicago's summer music at the
various private parks and gardens has
improved remarkably in the last few
Years. There cannot be too much song
and bright, cheerful. refreshing music in
q modern city.

Money for the Anacostia.

| The Senate has passed the rivers and
| harbors bill, carrying an appropriation
of S250,O0O for the Anacostia improve
| ment, 100000 more than the House pro-
vided- 1t is to be hoped that every cent
Of the Senate allotment will be carried
! through conference and appropriated.
The government has already delayed too
long in attacking vigorously this work
and pressing it to a conclusion. The
present project for the improvement of
the stream, from the mouth to the Navy
Yard bridge. was adopted June Is, 1902.
and up to the close of the past fiscal year
there had been expended on that portion
1857 ,2SS.15, out of q total estimated cost
OF $1,21S, 525. Thus in seven years an
average of $3S, 1874 was spent in the rec
lamation Of this channel and the cure of
the intolerable evil of the adjacent
marshes, which exert a most malevolent
influence upon the health Of the capital. At
the rate maintained during those seven
years the project for the reclamation Of
the stream up to the bridge above the
navy yard would require at least thirty
Ave years for completion, the year 1887
possibly marking the finish of the enter
prise.
At the rate of the Senates allotment
the project can be completed within four
years. This item should be considered
by the conferees with an eye single to
the amount that can be expended ad-
vantageously during the next fiscal year.
1t is a waste of money to proceed in
such a work at a pace slower than the
conditions permit. In all such enter
prises a certain amount must be spent
annually for the maintenance OF plant,
whether that plant is worked to full ca
pacity or less. 1t would be in the in
terest Of smoney saving for the United
States to set about the reclamation of
the Anacostia ~ q model bit OF en-
cheering work. and to undertake its
completion within record time
Delay in the matter Of the Anacostia
Improvement means the continuation OF
malarious conditions affecting a large
part Of the local population. It means
the condemnation Of one Of the most
attractive parts OF the District to re-
main = muddy waste, whereas It might
with ease be transformed into an at
tractive health-giving park. The years
that have gone cannot be regained The
lives that have been sacrificed cannot
be restored. But Congress can, by adopt
ing q policy Of unremitting advancement,
rescue the capital from its unwholesome
condition in this respect and. however
tardily. finally give to the eastern por-
ton Of the National Capital the benefit Of
q progressive system Of improvements.

New England and the Senate.

Those who see New England's finish in
the Senate in the retirement of Mr.. AL.
drich and Mr.. Hale are impulsive Of judg
ment or uniformed. The loss will be
heavy, and years must elapse before 1t Ii
fully made up. AS a rule, time is neces.
sary In the development of a strong con-
gressional personality. 1t is seldom the
case that new member, either in House
or Senate, impresses himself powerfully
upon legislation. A wide advertisement,
may be secured by a notable speech, or a
part in a dramatic episode Of some kind
In debate. But the mere celebrity may
be wholly without weight in the body OF
which he is member. Long service and
broad information are necessary to lead
ership in Congress. where big things are
constantly in hand. and require iudicioua
handling
But what is the matter with w. P.
Frye. Henry Cabot Lodge, Murray Crane
and Jacob IT. Galllnger? New England
ers all, and all veterans in politics. Three
are veterans in the Senate. Mr.. Frye has
been there since 1SS1-almost thirty years.
Mr.. Lodge succeeded Mr.. Dawes in 1893
seventeen years ago. Mr.. Gallinger sue
ceeded Mr. Blair in 1s91-nineteen years
ago. And while Mr.. Crane is senatorial
chicken, he had shed his political pin
feathers long before he entered the cham
Der.
Mr.. Frye is seventy-nine and at present
not in robust health. But there is no sug-
gestiOn of his retiring, and in his old
form again he will again be q power.
He is one Of the ablest, and best placed,
and most popular members Of the Senate
Mr. Gallinger is seyenty-three hut a
very vigorous man. MIR. Lodge is sixty.
with the appearance of a man of nifty,
and Mr.. Crane ffty-seven, with the ap-
pearance of a man OF forty-flve.
In point of equipment these men are
admirably balanced for team work -
Mr.. Frye is both very effective speaker
and thorough parliamentarian. Mr..
Gallinger is as ready debater as the
Senate contains. Mr.. Lodge, being what
Ii called scholar in politics. is one OF
his party's best representatives on great
field days. while Mr.. Crane, with a tall
ent for adjustment and negotiation, is
most valuable in times of division.
The leading congressional requirements
are covered by this quartet: and moreover
the members Of it know. and are true to,
New England interests down to the
ground. The Yankee, in his best estate
and these men represent that's long
headed. forehanded. energetic and untir-
ing. AS an individual he looks out well
for himself; as a public servant, we'll for
his constituents. Better put aside the
shroud for New England until such a
time as she appears to need 1t. She is
likely to remain very much alive in the
Senate for some time to come.

Drinking Fountains.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
It's good for the public to have plenty
OF water to drink. And yet, in spite Of
the spreading OF the fresh water gospel.
it has been hard for the general public
notable lack Of drinking places. The d.
rector of public service proposes to sup
ply the lack with a system Of continuous
spray fountains on all the main thorough
fares leading from the public square.
There may be as many as 100 such foun-
tains in ALL This Is an excellent plan
and cannot be put into operation too soon.
There will then be plenty Of opportunities
for the busy men and women to quench
their thirst. The fountain will be SAM
tary and the water, though possibly not
iced. will nevertheless be cool enough to
be palatable. for 1t will fow continually
from the big mains.
