lesson Immediately at hand in the new

the existing conditions of public con-
struction, and its disclosures regarding
that building undoubtedly aided in Great
ing a sentiment which caused the late
Secretary Gage to order the enforcement
of the Tarsney act which he interpreted
as permissive rather than obligatory
Such excellent results have flowed from
this system that there has been no
thought for the past fifteen years of
return to the old method of departmental
designing and construction supervision.
There may have been some mistakes
here and there in the awards, but taken
as a whole the public buildings that have
been erected since the Tarsney act began
to be enforced have been of far higher
artistic grade and have been better and
more quickly built than ever before. 1t
will be serious mistake to repeal this
act and to go back to the former method
of building designing. 1t needs but

tered throughout the United States fall
ing into two classes-those designed by
the Treasury Department and those
planned by private architects in competi-

method would greatly lower the artistic
standard. 1t is quite certain that it
would add heavily to the cost of public
construction.

A Triumph of Ryan.

II was RYAN against Bryan. and Ryan
won. The winner was not physically at
the head of his forces, but his spirit
ruled Mr.. Murphy. Mr.. Taggart and Mr..
Sullivan had their orders, and obeyed
them, Judge Parker spoke as expected.
The voice was the voice of Alton B., but
it was keyed TO suit the wishes of Thomas
F. Thus ended the first lesson.
No mention is made of a smile on Judge
Parker's face while he was speaking. No
mention is made of a frown on the faces
OF the Tammanyites while the address
was in progress. So we may believe that
everything went off according to Hoyle,
and the program.
And yet the speech must have put a
severe tax on seIf-restraint, on the part
of both the speaker and many of his lis
teners.
Carthage delenda est. Judge Parker
gave several reasons why the republican
party must be destroyed. Said he: TOO
long have we been blind to the bacchanal
of corruption" And Tammany cheered
vociferously. TOO long have we been
blind to the creation of combinations to
restrain trade And all the Wall street
agents and trust attorneys present roared
applause. Guilt is personal. and must
be punished accordingly" And the next
tune the band played was "Everybody's
DOM 1t Now
Truly an interesting performance. Mr.
Bryan did not wait to hear the speech,
and therefore was not subjected TO the
difficulty of keeping his face straight. He
might not have succeeded. He smiles
easily and attractively has a sense of
humor. and has been in politics so long
he knows campaign CUFF by the back
This triumph will serve to bring Mr.
Ryan the more prominently into notice
He ought to know something about poll
tics. He learned the trade under Will
liam c. Whitney, whose business asso-
ciate he was for years. And with Mr.
Whitney. politics was business.
The pupil cannot show the finish of the
instructor in the game. but, if little
rough. his talent is considerable Mr.
Whitney was college-bred and suave Mr.
Ryan is self-made and somewhat brusk
AS in the case of Mr.. Whitney, his hold
on Tammany is firm. Mr.. Murphy under
his orders yesterday, threw New York's
ninety votes for Judge Parker. and, as
the judges majority over Mr.. Bryan was
only sixty-nine. Tammany, it will be seen
turned the trick.
Will this keynote survive? Unquestion-
ably. and be quoted all through the cam
paign Wherever the people have a taste
for entertainment. republican orators will
quote the denuncations of corruption in
politics which Tammany applauded, and
the thrusts at trusts which made trust
representatives present look firm for the
right, and appear to be offering them
selves as champions of the plain people.

An Idle Fancy.

The old-fashioned robin sings sweetly
and long
Not far from an old-fashioned rose.
The perfume so soft seems to blend with
the song
And gently invite to repose.
Forgot is the tumult. Unheard il the
shout
Where men with a resolute din
Are seeking to usher their old troubles out
And perhaps usher new troubles in.
We gratefully welcome each influence
brought
To tighten life's burden Of care;
The sturdy GRAFTON, the delicate thought
That make this existence more fair.
And l thought that q heard from some
voice far away.
That scarce interrupted a doze,
"Hurrah for the robin whose song is SO
gay.'
And Three cheers for the old-fashioned
rose."

Save the Tarsney Act.

The sundry civil bill. which passed the
House the other day. contains some pc
cuiar features for the correction of
which the Senate is looked to confidently.
One of these is a clause which repeats
the act Of February 20. 1893, generally
known as the Tarsney act. authorizing
the Secretary of the Treasury 10 obtain
plans and specifications for public build
ings from private architects under a sys-
tenn OF competition. This statute was
construed as defective technically in that
it contained no clause repeating other
laws in conflict Herewith. and the then
Secretary of the Treasury ruled that it
was imperative. AS a result of this ruling
correspondence ensued between Secre-
tary Carlisle and the late Daniel H.
Burnham. then president of the Amert-
can Institute of Architects, which eff

The Appropriations Emergency.

If meanwhile Congress does not pass
some sort of emergency resolution all
appropriations for the maintenance of
the government departments will fail
next Monday morning, and whatever is
done in the transaction of public business
from that time on until relief is afforded
must be on credit. 1t is inconceivable
that the House and Senate should permit
such situation TO arise in consequence
OF their failure to prepare the money
bills in season. They have been excep-
uonally slow in shaping these measures
this year. One of them, for the support
or the army, was so framed. despite
plain warning, that 1t has been vetoed
on account of certain general legislation
written into 1t TO satisfy personal pref
udlce and 10 wreak revenge upon
worthy officer of the military service.
The sundry civil bill, which provides for
numerous continuous activities of the
government, has only now reached the
Senate, while the legislative bill, carry
ing provisions for the bulk of the gov
eminent work, Is still in conference. 1t
is practically impossible to pass these
TWO before Monday, owing to the gen
tlemen's agreement" under which the
two houses are now operating to permit
attendance upon the republican and DEM
ocrdtic national conventions. But there
Is nothing in that agreement TO justify
putting off longer the passage of the
emergency resolution continuing in force
all the existing appropriation acts that
have not already been supplanted by new
enactments. Such a resolution should
be framed without further delay and
put through the Two houses forthwith,
TO reassure the officials of the govern
ment who are now beset with anxiety
concerning the possibility of a total fail

Value of Conventions.

be worth while. considered merely
