WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular correspondent.l

From Our Regular Correspondent
Washington, D. g., March Sit is
now expected that one of the most I'M
portant of bills, that relating to the
postal savings bank, will become law
during the present month. There has
been considerable opposition to the bill,
mainly from Democratic and insurgent
sources. Many amendments have been
presented and some of them accepted.
Senator Root of New York, in advocacy
of the bill, has made the most forcible
speech of his Senatorial career. 1t is
understood that he voices the views OF
the President. 1t is expected that the
bill will add greatly to the strength OF
the financial situation in this country,
and the fact that it has long been in
use in conservative foreign countries
will recommend it to rejecting people
in America.
1t is thought also that the bill fixing
the last Thursday in April for new
inaugural day, will be adopted. Chang
ing the date for the Inauguration of a
president from the 4th of March to the
later date involves an amendment to
the Constitution of the United States,
and will, therefore, have to receive a
two-thirds vote of Congress and ma
jority vote of three-fourths of the forty
six states through their legislatures, be-
fore it can become a'law. The change
in date is of the G reatest Importance:
for the weather on March 4th, is seldom
pleasant, and occasionally, as on the
day of President Grants second inau-
guration and last 4th of March, it is
bitterly cold and tempestuous. The
National Capital is rapidly growing in
Improvements and accommodations tor
visitors and also in accessibility to all
parts of the country, and the travel to
the city for the quadrennial inaugural
event is steadily increasing in volume.
1t becomes of Importance, not so much
to the citizens of Washington, most OF
whom have at least bed and board, but
to the two or three hundred thousand
visitors who come here to witness the
imposing ceremonies and parades at
tendant upon the inauguration OF the
Presidentrelect.
Thirty or forty years ago there was
serious consideration of a project to re-
move the national capital farther west
or nearer the geographical center. This
project or dream has long since beer
abandoned. Nothing but disruption
of the country or a revolutionary up
heaval can be able to fix the capita
elsewhere, and in such an event there
would be more than one, and perhaps
more than half dozen capitals in the
Disunited States. Dist&nce is no long
| er geographical question, but ques'

TOO SERIOUSLY.

Senators Folkes and Keezele, we
think, have taken Mr.. McAllister of
the Anti-Saloon League too seriously.
He made statements, if the published
reports be true, which are long way
from the facts, and very hard to swal-
low, but Mr.. McAllister does not occu-
py the position he once did. He has laid
aside the .'cloth" for the habiliments
Of money and office getting. When he
appeared in the pulpit as regular
minister in charge of flock, all res
pect was due him so long of course as he
merited it. But when he joined in the
secular work of hat passing, stump
speaking, election controlling, news
paper editing and the hundred and one
other things which go to make up the
repertoire of the prohibition leader, then
to pass him by, as one passes by many
Of the small objects in life is better.
Mr.. McAllister-andw we mention him
not as an individual, but as class
and his confreres in their bread win
ming games, and political evolutions
command only the significance given
others in the great rush after the al
mighty dollar, the only trouble with
these gentlemen as class being,
usually, that they allow some hard
working, deserving, but sentimental
person, to earn the dollar, then they
devise means of having him drop il
into their pockets.

ton of time, and Washington is quite
as accessible by steam, electricity and
gasoline, to say nothing of the aero
plane, as any other locality in the
Union. The capital is becoming more
and more firmly rooted by millions
spent for marble and granite offices in
which the stupendous work of the ma
ton is transacted. A bill is now under
consideration in the Senate for the ap-
preparation of twenty thousand dollars
to be raised by per cent. government
bonds for the erection of needed gov
eminent offices. At present the gov
eminent is paying from ten TO seven
teen per cent. annually on the value of
inferior rented buildings necessary for
desk and file rooms for the thousands
of government employees who make
their homes here. That to pay ten or
seventeen per cent. for poor building
when the government can get the bet
ter building for per cent is not bust
ness like, may be demonstrated to a
child.
The whole country by this time
must have heard of somewhat unique
undertaking, the building of memo
rial temple in Washington in honor OF
the Father of his Country. The under
taking is unique only in the fact that q
woman, Mrs. Dimmick, is most active
in urging it, that it has the enthusiastic
and active approval of the President,
of Senator Root and of many men dis
tinguished in national affairs. The
proposal is that it shall be built by the
school-children of the United States
and already the contributions, mostly
in dimes, amount to a very respectable
sum in dollars. The building is to tall
the form Of an immense assembly hal
to which the many conventions now
making Washington the center for thei
deliberations shall find free access. TIL,
conventions now coming to Washing
ton must rent halls. 1t is proposed
that this building shall be so arranged
that many conventions, if desired, ma.
hold simultaneous meetings in smallc
annexed halls, but all sufficiently larg
to accommodate large meetings.

KILLED IN THE HOUSE.

The House of Delegates killed the
bill which was intended to aid in the
passage of m amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States giving
thegeneral government the right to
tax incomes. As we previously said,
the only reason why Virginians might
vote for such q measure, would be be-
cause few people in Virginia would
pay any such tax; whereas many in
other States would pay it. At present
such tax is unconstitutional, as has
bean declared by the U. s. Supreme
Court. The government has asked an
enabling act because it is short of
funds, deficit is staring it in the face,
it wants more money. Of course the
present administration could hope for
little from this source, because it will
have ended before the constitution
could be amended and the laws put in
force, but it is paving the way for more
money to meet the wonderful and
growing extravagances of the party in
power. We say now, as we have al
ways said, that this government has
ample means Of collecting money. 1t
needs none additional, and when a
revenue officer can be empowered to
come into your place of business and
demand your books and your private
papers, to see whether or not you are
cheating the government, then liberty
will be at an end. The law would
create an army of detectives and secret
service men. We would be hunted in
our business, as the moonshiner is
hunted in the mountains. No home
would be sacred, no business place free
from these minions of the government.
Should such law be adopted by the
government by change of the con-
stitution, the injury could not be right
ed in century. Such an amendment
to the constitution in the first place is
not needed as revenue measure. In
the second it would be new and dan
gerous power. In the third it would
add to Capitalization, and put in the
hands of the party in power a weapon
of Imperialism, the trainers did not in
tend, and the people should never per
INIT. In the fourth place it would en-
courage extravaganza, and increase
opportunities to feast upon the fruits
oflndividual effort, thus hampering OF
discouraging the requirement Of
wealth, or the laudable pursuit of large
business enterprises We are pleased
to see that our representatives voted
against the measure and that in so fal
as Virginia is concerned, it has been
buried beyond the power of resurrec
