Democratic Activity.

Hope according to the poet. springs

assertion applies with especial fitness
10 the Democratic party. The COMMITTEES
of that political organization in New York
State is TO meet this week for the pur-
pose of taking steps to rehabilitate and
reorganize the party and advance its
interests. Each committeeman is the
subject of an appeal 10 give the meet
ing thoughtful consideration IN order
that Democrats throughout the State
may enter upon the campaign with re-
newed faith in the principles OF the party
and with new courage 10 meet political
conditions now confronting the people of

Battered by defeat and almost disrupted
by internal dissensions, the Democrats.
nevertheless. come up smiling for another
contest. Here in Washington they pro-
pose a gathering of national significance
and interest on Jefferson's birthday.
Once again they will listen TO roseate
prophecies and indulge in dreams Of vic
tory. They refuse to be downcast or
disheartened.
This vitality OF the Democratic party is
a good thing for the country. 1t is a
factor with which the Republicans must
always reckon, especially as the growth
OF independence in thought and action
adds to the number OF voters who are
guided by conditions and not by partisan
ties Besides this Democratic activity

Democracy and defeat have been syn

evident, however. that the party is grid
ing up its loins for another struggle.

Offering a park Rel0w Cost.

When PEnfant laid out the National
Capital he provided for parks and reserva-
tons Within the boundaries Of his plan,
the city is admirably equipped in this
regard. Even his imagination and fore
sight did not. however, anticipate the
time when Washington would spread far
beyond the limits which he prescribed
Failing 10 look forward to this growth,
he naturally did not provide for the ex-
tension Of the park system, and as a re-
suit those sections Of the District which
have developed in the last quarter Of
a century are lacking IN open spaces.
This serious omission has been fully
recognized everywhere except in Con-
gress.
Among the sections which ought to be
provided with parks are Georgetown and
Mount Pleasant. In Georgetown there is
a plot OF ground adorned with splendid
roak trees which ought 70 be acquired.
In Mount Pleasant the need for a park
is So apparent that the citizens Of that
section are offering TO the government a
triangle OF land for less money than It
cost them in order that at least one
breathing space may be reserved for all
time They bought ii to prevent it's use
for business purposes, and they could
sell it to-day at a profit If they did not
regard the city's benefit as paramount to
their personal gain. Il would seem as if
the opportunity which they offer to the
government IS one that ought not to be
ignored. The Commissioners should bring
the matter forcibly to the attention Of
Congress and secure favorable action at
the earliest possible moment.
Incidentally, there are other localities
wherein parks should be provided. A
splendid grove of trees at the corner of
Fourteenth street and Columbia road
ought to be saved to the city, and IN every
part OF the District spaces should be set
aside. Some OF these days the law
makers viii realize that procrastination
has proven costly. There never will be
period In the history of the National
Capital when land for public parks can
be purchased for less money than at
present Every days delay in the ae-
QUESTION OF reservations adds to the bur-
den which the taxpayer Of the future
must bear.

who are nominated as principals fail
at the entrance examination, while most
OF the "alternates" do not present them
selves, on the theory that the principals
are likely to pass the examination. The
result has been that. after the entrance
examination in January, there were no
less than 80 vacancies, a quite unprece-
dented number. While it would appear
that the duty Of the military authorities
might very well be applied TO filling
these vacancies. it is. at the same time,
desirable to add to the num-
Der of cadetships. a special examina-
ton Of candidates is to be held this
week in the hope that most Of the exist
ing vacancies win be filled.
The fact that so many vacancies exist
by reason OF the failure OF candidates

West Point and the circumstance Of
the enforced resignation Of mldshlpmen
at the Naval Academy for deficiency in
the recent semi-annual examinations
have aroused the apprehension In Con-
gress. II is said. that these examinations
are too severe. The suggestion that
there shall be interference with aea-
demic policy in this particular must be
intolerable 10 the authorities at West
Point and Annapolis. who ought to be
intrusted with the responsibility Of de-

sional intercession in behalf Of these
students would be more harmful than
almost anything Congress could under
take on the mistaken notion Of defending
the cadets and midshipmen from the ex-
actions of examination, The standard TO
which these students attain must neces-
sarily be left to the academic authorities.

Standard Of Cadets and Midshinmen.

About the only army personnel legisla-
tion which stands any chance Of enact
ment at this session Of Congress is that
which would increase the corps of cadets
at the Military Academy. This is in the
line OF the policy that there should be
greater proportion OF army officers com
ing from the institution which possesses
the facilities for training and educating
young men for duty as commissioned
officers OF the military establishment.
The bill has been favorably reported
from the Senate Military Committee, and
is regarded with favor, it is understood.

lated TO gain Congressional approval of

Mr.. ]. Hampton Moore has his ideas,
more or less pronounced, perhaps. touch

Roosevelt in the near future.
Said Mr. Moore. addressing some citi-
gems of the First New York Congressional
district recently:

tingushed citizen comes back from Africa. my good
friend Congressman Cocks. your representative at

Not we take It, that Mr.. Moore loves
Caesar less. but that he loves Mr.. Cocks

Cocks in Congress- thoroughly COM

stitution of the United States does not
say specifically that the Speaker shall
be a member of the House. II merely
prescribes that the House shall elect a
Speaker. It may go to Kalamazoo. Kan

officer, so far as the exact language Of
the Constitution is concerned. Moreover,
we strenuously suspect that no one would
be disposed TO argue the case. once Mr.,
Roosevelt had been sworn in. anyway.

The monument in the form OF an ODE
lisk erected to the memory OF George
Washington at the National Capital, is
the finest monument in the United
States and one Of the finest in the
world. II was finished in the year 1885.
and was dedicated on February d, WASH
ingtons Birthday that year falling on
Sunday. The ceremonies were most inn
uressive. the government, the army and
navy. and representatives Of foreign coun-
tries. and men of distinction in civil life,
united to do honor to the great Wash
ington.
The formal presentation of the monu-
nent was made at the base of the grand
obelisk, while the dedication ceremonies
proper took place IN the hall Of the
House of Representatives. Col. Casey,
the engineer In charge of the work, turn
ed over the monument to the govern
ment. and President Arthur accepted It In
behalf of the nation. The orators Of the
dav were Hon. John w Daniel. Of Vir-
GINA, and Hon. John D. Long. of Mas

notwithstanding the fact that the plan
of a monument TO Gen. Washington was
approved by Congress in the latter part
of December, 1899, nothing was done in
the matter until 1888. when an associa-
ton of prominent persons undertook the
raising OF the needed funds by subscrip-

succeeded in their undertaking that the
cornerstone Of the monument was laid,

Illusions.
From Puck

From Puck.
II is true we labor under many iIlu-
sions, but If these were to be done away
with. we should hardly deem it worth
our while to labor at all
Almost none of the things which man
so ardently pursues in the belief that
they will make him happier is really
capable of doing SO. and yet it is need
full that he keep up the pursuit for the
sake of what he incidentally achieves
in behalf of destiny
The illusions we labor under partake,
in fine, of the nature of sanitary con-
ditions, though they chiefly affect the
health of the spirit, and by that have no
municipal functionary appointed to look
vigilantly after them. Nor. in fact. do
they need any such, since Providence has
been SO kind as to see to il that illusions
we shall always have.
