LATE IN FEBRUARY.
SO bitter rose this wintry day,
SO still the marsh. so wild the trees
The harsh crow, beating with the
treeze
Saddened the world along her way.
But comes change from gay to blue
The Iessening drifts are soft and
dank,
Across the cleaning field, bank
OF robin-taWny clay looks through.
Nlill month and little understood;
The crow above her own harsh cry,
Hears your soft hint and bundles high
Her loose nest in the hemlock WOOD
And, spite Of all Ole winds loud
threats.
The marsh is wise enough to know
Your ice, its CLASSY door your snow
A wrap for hidden violcts.

Electric Engines for Cities.

The question Of electrification of rail-
road terminals and OF railroad lines with
in the metropolitan district OF big
cities is an active issue in Boston. Chi
ca go and other cities. Railroad electrif-
cation i'm New York was FASTENED by the
Park avenue tunnel collision in 1902. II
was determined that the accident was due

lights The legislature of New York the
following year enacted law directing
that after five years no railroad steam 10
comotives should be operated in the city
south of the Harlem river. The railroads
have not only electrified their lines in the
city, but have extended the electric serv-
ice into suburban territory.
Electrifying railway terminals in Bos-

the Massachusetts legislature TO the join,

Value of Travel.

The value OF travel has often been
recommended as a broadening influence,
but Tom Hood observed that some
minds improve by travel, others rather
resemble copper wire or brass. which
gets the narrower by going farther" In
travelling. as in doing many other things,
too many men are bent on giving i'm
pressions rather than receiving them. 1t
is astonishing that some men can travel
so far and learn so little. and ii is graf
flying that many men can learn so
much. The traveller should keep an open
eye and an open mind. and his founda-
ton should be a knowledge of the insti-
tutions. the customs and the thought of
his own country.

Burying the Wires.

The electric wire is going underground
With every great storm Geographic and
telephone communication is hindered or
demoralized. Remembrance is clear of
the March storm. of wind. snow, sieet
and rain, in 1909, which isolated Washing
ton. Storm-interruption of communication
not infrequently happens. Washington,
Baltimore. Philadelphia and New York
are now being connected with subter-
ranean cable. which will carry telephone
and telegraph messages in perfect indie
pendence of the weather This under
ground system is already being operated
between New York and Philadelphia, and
l:;J miles of conduit work is in progress
between Philadelphia and Washington.
The cable is of the composite duplex pat
tern, by which the wires are made to
carry a double load OF telegraph commu-
nications. The cable, containing ~ pairs
Of wires, will by means of phantom cir
cults be able to transmit simultaneously
10 telephone and :i96 telegraph messages.
First came the burial of wires i'm cities,
both because of their unsightliness and
their liability TO frequent arrangement.
This process is now being carried out in
the country. 1t is one of the strong evil
dences of progress.

World Journalism.

Mr.. Hearst to enter London journalism?
The rumor is unconfirmed, but, by lingo,
If it's true, he's got the men, he's got
the types, and got the money, too.
He would help to wake things up,
journalisticaly and politically. He could
not keep out of politics. We should see
him repeat his New York performance
and become a political factor He and
Mr.. Lloyd George might soon be in
cordial and effective cooperation. They

American methods a little, and for the

Now, there
The opposition might raise the cry of
foreign intervention. Mr.. Hearst would
of course remain an American citizen.
He probably holds his allegiance to
Uncle Sam above all other considerations.
Not more money, not a wider fame, not
more power would be likely to induce
him to haul down the flag. So that he

vasion of American dollars.
Still, in England as in this country
that sort of thing Is losing its appeal
1t would be impossible today to raise
much of a stir with us about the cor
rupting power of British gold in our
affairs We are far beyond the time
when the charge that the demonetiza-
ton of silver was dictated from London
found ready belief, as we are beyond the
time when tariff reform was interpreted
as a sly move of foreign manufacturers
to get control of the American markets.
Some forms of CUFF have spent their
force.
But if Mr.. Hearst invades London sue
cessfully. will he stop there? Why not
push on to Paris, Berlin, st. Peters

not become the journalistic Puck, and

earth? The cable is handy. Why should
not world politics be followed by world

duty of lie, sing the Mckinley lava
strong protection measure.
| Good men-the partys pick in the
| House-were necessary for the proper
redemption of the party's promises. Mr..
Bryan was recommended for service as a
man of eloquence as well 'as conviction.
He would do to tie to, and could be
| trusted TO take care Of himself and aid
the cause in open debate. His youth and
linexperience were overlooked. Give the
young man a chance.
He got his chance. The unusual COM
pliment of an assignment to ways and
means In first term was bestowed
upon him. In the next House he helped
prepare the Wilson bill. He helped put it
through the House. His speech was
one of the features of the debate. and
for him. He stood with Mr.. Cleveland
in the clash with the Senate, and had
Mr.. Cleveland vetoed the amended bill
and preserved the tariff issue for an
other popular contest Mr.. Bryan would
as is known, the Senate won, and the
tariff was subordinated.
Mr.. Bryan. therefore, is returning to
before he became the leader of the free
silver hosts. And it is not surprising to
find him interpreting the tariff now as
he did then in the matter Of general
principles. He does not shift his foot
easily. Three defeats for President have
not forced from him a modification of
his financial views He is not urging
free silver coinage now. but would if
silver were the issue. He is saying moth
ing about government ownership and
operation of railroads. but only for the
reason that the country is not at pres
ent interested in that proposition. He
still believes in it, and if it were made
an issue, or the issue, he would both
declare and fight for it.
Mr.. Bryan's opponents point to the
honors he has received from his party,
and tell him they should cause him to
keep silent now. He has had his fling
and should be content To this he re
plies with much force that nothing that
has happened has deprived him of free
dom of speech. The tariff being again in
evidence and his views unchanged about
it, he is as much entitled to be heard as
any other member of the democratic
party.

Emplacement of Public Buildings.

There is strong opposition in and out OF
Congress to the encroachment upon the
Mall for public building sites. On Feb
ruary % last there was offered In the
Senate an amendment to the sundry civil
dill which provided for the letting of con-
tracts for the construction of the three
new buildings for the Departments of
State. Justice and Commerce and Labor,
and in this amendment change in the
location of one of these buildings was
proposed as follows:
That the Secretary of the Treasury be
and he is hereby further authorized and
directed TO locate two of said buildings
On the land heretofore acquired therefor.
between Pennsylvania avenue. 14th. 10TH
and streets northwest. the remaining
building TO be located at the corner OF
18th and b streets northwest, on the
reservation known as the Monument
grounds"
The Star said on February IS:
This Is in direct departure from the
original plan for these buildings, which
contemplated their inclusion within the
plat of five squares taken by condemna.
ton from the Avenue to the Mall and
lying wholly within the boundaries OF
what is generally known as the Mall
Avenue triangle. 1t is to be hoped that
the Senate committee on appropriations
will recognize the improperly of en-
croaching further upon the Mall by the
placing of one of the group of buildings
there. There has already been too much
building on the Mall space, and every ad-
ditional structure there located Is not
ouly a reduction of the park area, but an
invitation to further trespassinS.
No favorable action has yet been taken
BY Congress on this or any other prop
position authorizing a change in the loca-
ton of any of these structures. The gov
eminent of the United States is. OF
course. rich enough to buy sites for Its
public buildings. 1t should not take for
this purpose lands that are held by II In
trust for use as parks by all the people of
the United States. Ii the area already
condemned between the Avenue and the
Mall will not provide adequate sites for

Full value and effect TO their artistic
beauty and architectural impressiveness.
The solution of the difficulty, as The
star has repeatedly urged, is 10 con-
denim at once the whole of the Mall

government. close the streets in this area,
and then. considering this triangle in its
