Quick Action Needed.

There should be no delay on the part
of Congress in granting an appropria-
ton TO be Immediately available for the
repair of the building of the Columbia
Institution for the Deaf and Dumb which
was partially destroyed by fire last Sun
day. The decision of the directors yes
terday to submit estimate of S2J.0O0
to the Secretary of the Treasury for
transmission to Congress brings the mat
ter to the point of prompt action. 1t
is the government policy not to insure
its buildings against fire, and this course
renders it imperative that whenever a
loss is sustained provision should be
made at once for the replacement of
the damaged structure. The building is
urgently needed at the Columbia Insti-
tutor to continue the important work
which is there being conducted in the
education of the deaf mutes of the coun-
try, under the auspices of the United
States government. and the institution
should not be deprived Of the equipment
longer than the time that is necessary
to lay the estimate before the appro-
priation committees and secure the pas
sage of an emergency bill. 1t should be

The English Situation.

The British political situation is crys-
talizing so that il is possible to foresee
the immediate lines of procedure upon
the reconvening of parliament ten days
later. IT is assured that there will be
some changes in the ministry, and some
possibility exists Of a serious split in the
liberal party in consequence of these
shiftings. At a meeting of the cabinet
yesterday. according to apparently au-
thentic reports. IL was decided that i'm
mediately after the reply to the speech

will be reintroduced and passed as
promptly as possible, and sent to the
house OF lords. after which a resolution
dealing with the limitations of the veto
power Of the peers will be introduced
and also sent to the other chamber.
These two measures will probably be so
close together that the latter will serve
virtually as "A declaration of instruction
to the peers to approve the budget in its
entirety. Then the finance bill for 1901 1
will be framed and presented. IL this
program is adhered to the liberal party

The Anacostia Improvement

The inclusion of an item of $4,000 in
the river and harbor appropriation bill, as
reported to the House. for the improve
ment of the Anacostia river insures
a vigorous prosecution of that long de-
layed work For many years the War
Department has been rendering estimates
for this Improvement. The health au-
thorities of the District and the United
States government have pleaded for it as
a measure of protection for the District
of Columbia and the federal institutions
here located from the malarial influence
of the marsh formed by the gradual fill
ing in of the stream.
President Taft has interested himself
in the matter sufficiently to urge upon
individual members of Congress a syste-
matte continuation of this improvement,
and the item carried by the pending bill
is attributed in Il large measure to his
activity i'll this respect. For this the Dis
trict renders its heartfelt thanks to the
President.
The reclamation of the Anacosta
is demanded as a practical measure by
the interests of the government itself.
The United States has large sum of
money invested in a naval gun foundry
at the old navy yard, from which all
the ordnance designed for the men-of-
war is shipped to the government prov
ing grounds at Indian Head. 1t is with
difficulty that the tugs and scows used
in this service navigate the channel from
the gun foundry wharf to the Potomac
river. At certain stages of the tide
and with the wind blowing strongly from
the north or east it is impossible for
these light draft crafts to get to or from
the navy yard docks. Only war vessels
of the llghtest draft can reach the yard.
The spectacle is thus presented of the
seat of government virtually isolated
from the vessels of the fleet.
The sum proposed for the next year
is. of course, only an instalment of the
entire amount that will be necessary
to accomplish the two main objects of
river reclamation, the provision of a
navigable channel and the filling in of
the flats adjoining. The interests of the
United States do not cease with the mere
dredging of a fair way for ships be-
tween the navy yard and the Potomac.
For sanitary reasons it is important to
the United States to continue this work
until the morass which stretches for
considerable distance above the navy yard
has been drained. On both sides of the
stream are institutions maintained by the
government whose occupants and in
mates are seriously affected in health
by the unwholesome conditions created
by the filling in of the Anacostia basin.
A project has been outlined for the dredg-
ing of the channel beyond the navy
yard bridge and the deposit of the ex-
cavated materials upon the flats on eth
er side. thus forming a park area SINH
lar to that created on the Potomac side.
On the basis of the proposed appropria-
ton of $4,000 the enterprise will prob
ably he pressed vigorously from year to
year until the capital has been rescued
ON the eastern side from the conditions
which have long menaced its health.

both an assurance and threat. So long
as the prime minister holds to his pur-
pose to challenge effectively the veto
power of the lords, the liberals will f1nd
the Irish members to be their allies. But
If there Is any wavering along this line
the Irish vote will be withdrawn from
the ministry.
A complication enters into the situa-
ton in the fact that at meeting of the
labor party yesterday a resolution was
adopted demanding the Introduction of
reform bill embracing adult suffrage, in
Guiding the acknowledgment of women.
If the laborites espouse the cause OF
woman suffrage they may seriously en-
barrass their liberal allies. who have
heretofore stoutly opposed that depart
ure.
Another sign of possible trouble appears
in the fact that last night a meeting OF
the conservative members of the min
istry was held at the home of War Sec
rotary Haldane. to which Lloyd George
and Winston Churchill were not invited.
The omission of these two radical MEM
bers of the cabinet from the conference
is regarded as significant of the possible
realignment of the ministry. Yet 1t is
difficult to conceive the prosecution OF the
liberal program without the presence in
their present position of the two men who
stood at the front of the fighting for the
budget during the recent campaign.

Sugar Refunds.

The government is still getting back
the money from the sugar companies
which it should have received long ago
in the form of customs dues, but of
which it was deprived by an ingenious
system Of false weights operated by
faitheSs customs officials and subor-
dinates of the sugar refining corporations.
The latest inStallment on this refund &C
count Is S6Oi, :10i.31, paid into the United
States Treasury by the National Sugar
Refining Company. This sum was ascer-
tanned as due the United States by means
of diligent investigation, including
search through the books of the company
and those of the constituent companies
and the companys purchasing agents,
and also the custom house records The
books showed the discrepancies clearly
There could be no doubt that duties had
been paid the United States upon small
er quantity of sugar than that which
had been actually handled by the COM
pany. Notwithstanding this plain showing
of difference between the amount paid
and the amount collectible with proper
weighing. the officers of this company had
diSclaimed all knowledge and responsible
ity, as had the officers of the other COM
pdiiitS "iiNh lidso Pdiu IeIuHuS
TO the United States. These refunds
amounted to 81. 600 in the case of the
American Sugar Refining Company, the
sugar trust which also paid a fine OF
S135OOU, while Arbuckle Brothers re-
funded S695,J73. Up TO date the govern
ment has thus recouped itself to the ex-
tent of S3,434.s77.37.
1t is to be hoped that the United States
will not rest content with merely securing
these refunds, but will conduct a rigid
prosecution of all who were concerned In
the process of cheating the government.
Several weighers have been dismissed
from the service OF the United States and
a few subordinates Of the sugar COM
panies have been tried and found guilty
of completely in this conspiracy to de-
fraud the government. But the men
higher up are as yet immune. Their at
titude of ignorance of the transactions,
the profits of which went chiefly, II not
solely, to the corporations themselves, is
unconvincing. The fact that the govern
ment able to trace their
own books instances of underweighins
amounting in terms of customs dues to
nearly three and third million dollars.

that the companies were not paying their

A Freak Eater.

Nobody will seriously envy whatever
glory may have been earned by the local
gormand who has just defended his title
as champion food absorber of this local
ity by eating at one sitting ten pounds
of ham and forty pounds of kale, and
drinking two gallons of water and an
equal quantity of beer. The performance
is, of course. striking just at this time
of high food prices. but it gains no merit
by reason of that fact The glutton never
thinks of cost. He is intent only upon
performing an abnormal feat of mastica-
ton and deglutition. He wants to be a
freak and probably is secretly pleased
when he can demonstrate his extraor-
binary powers at time when the strug
gle of ordinary people to obtain enough
food is most severe Fortunately glut-
tony is not recognized as popular sport.
Occasionally we hear of beefsteak races.
and from New York now and then comes
story of some amazing performance OF
food consumption by groups of abnormal
eaters. But the fad will never spread.
Few men are really proud of their pow
ers of digestion in point of quantity.
There is something rather disgusting in
spectacle of such ogrelike eating.
These displays of abnormality are dis
tinctly out of harmony with the times.
This is the age of concentrated food.
There is little to choose between the
champion gormand, who eats enough for
a large family at one sitting, and the
professional faster. who makes a spec
tacle of himself by abstaining altogether
from food for many days. Both of them
belong in the class of the five-legged
nd fbo
other occupants of the dime museum.

Sugar Trust Conviction.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The sentence of the convicted dock SUI
perintendent of the sugar trust to two
years in the penitentiary hardly satisfies
the popular demand for the punishment
of some one higher up This official
and the weighers who have been caught
in the federal criminal net certainly de-
serve to pay the penalty for their dis
honest acts, but when il is remembered
that these acts were only part of con-
certed system by which a great corpora
ton and its stockholders we're the gain
ers by many thousands of dollars an
nually. there would seem to be some
thing faulty in a system of justice which
sends the instruments of crime to iail
and at the same time withholds punish
ment from the beneficiaries. The diff
culties of reaching the latter are obvious,
but unless they can be overcome popula r
contempt for the operation of Justice will

Mr.. Davis at the White House.

| Several days ago Senator Davis of Ar

Now the senator is twitted with having

at a little distance from the big road.
high colors and strong words are re-
ouired. Treating the other fellow with

binder must affect a fury if he feel it not.
Calmness of demeanor and conservatism
of statement are fatal. Hamlet's fam >hs

though to be sure, there is a resemblance
between politicians and actors 1t is often
effective on the stump to tear passion 10
tatters; and passion at times Is made 10
look pretty ragged.
But in the great majority of cases
there is method in this madness. The
men who turn the trick best know how
TO calculate it for the proper meridian.
They we'll understand the difference be-
tween Podunk and Washington. They
never think of carrying themselves as
intolerantly in Congress. or elsewhere In
Washington, on political subjects as they
do at home. Very properly, they ac-
commodate themselves to the environ
ment and the necessities of the case.
They are in this town for business, not
display, and know there is nothing to be
gained in the mock manners of the
stump.
Now and then a man appears on the
scene who has this lesson to learn. But
he soon learns it. A break or two
