Now and then Candidate Wilson is

that gets nowhere. Candidate Wilson.

acting on another line.
But is there anything new politically in
that? 1t has often happened. Promising
is easy. Performing is difficult There

Mr. Wilson is AT a disadvantage here

The Red Cross Memorial.
the New York Tribune

from me New
In double sense il is welcome news
to the nation that private munificence
has SO complemented public appropria-
ton as to provide for the immediate
erection at Washington Of a splendid and
commodious building which shall be at
once a memorial to the woman heroes of
the civil war and a working headquar-
tiers for the American Red Cross. 1t would
be difficult to name two causes which
more strongly appeal at once to senti-
ment and to practical humanity. The
story of woman's devotion and heroism
and practical service in the civil war can
never be overtold 1t does not matter
whether it was an original inspiration or
was melted by the example of Florence
Nightingale. The fact Is that the mis-
sion of womanhood in those four years
at home. in the hospital, In the camp
and on the very>field Of battle. was beau
tiful and beneticent beyond all exag-
geration. 1t amply deserves a memorial
second to no other of all that stirring
epoch. 1t is most fitting. too, that such
memorial should take the practical
form of an institution for the promotion
OF a work which is largely a continuation
and an expansion of that same service
Wherever humanity suffers there Red
Cross is active.

Pneumonia and the Cars.

From the Chicago Journal
Measles and diphtheria are decreasing
in the city, but pneumonia is advancing
on the double quick. One hundred and
forty new cases of this disease were re-
ported last week, as compared with
thirty-nine for the corresponding w>eel
a year ago. 1t is some Offset to this bad
showing to note that cases this year
seem less severe than usual. Very likely
there are many causes of this increase
but one cause must be kept in plain view
This Is the disgraceful crowding of cars
and particularly Of IL cars. While the
city has been growing. its transportation
facilities have stood still, and the botch-
erly through-routing schemes OF merge,
magnates have added confusion to inefn
cheney. AS result, the jam on the IL
has been the worst ever known The
packed and unventilated cars have be.
come mere clearing houses tor the swap
ping of disease germs, and passengers
who have hung to a strap for five or ten
miles are in no condition TO resist an in
yasion of microbes.

The Speakers Budget Conference.

With his large experience as Il legs
lator, Speaker Clark has devised Il sor'
Of budget committee. On his invitation
those democratic leaders of the House
having most To do with the preparation
of appropriation bills are conterrinS about
the supplies to be voted 1T this session .,
Congress The plan is c&cc lent, ana
thanks are due to the Speaker.
The situation Of the democrats Is one
of difficulty. In the first place they are
ovcrpledged as respects economy. Charges
made SO fluontly last year of republican,
extravaeance were largely without sup
port. They had their origin in the imaS-
ina tions OF practiced speibinders abroad
with lurid voca bularies seeking votes. No
such waste as they described had been
INDUCED in. and hence no such retrench-
ment as they promised could be expected
under an intelligent administration of af-
fairs But they caught votes, and now
for the consequences.
In the second pace a new tariff law is
i'll the initial stages of operation. Its
quality cannot as yet be determined. We
are just beginning to taste the pudding.
and cannot now tell whether We shall Ike
it or not. One thing promised in its name
living has not been lowered under Mr..
Cnderwood's magic wand.
But. for the moment. an even more in
teresting point relates to the revenue
producing quality of the new law What
can Uncle Sam afford to spend. under 1t?
How fat, if fat at all, will it make his
wallet? That point cannot be determined
today, because the law is only two months
old
ma Production in many, lines is still
halted, and both business men and poll
ticians are at sea about the future. They
have no idea where they shall land.
They only know that they are on the
way.
Still. il is up to the democratic House To
figure supplies. and the time is now.
All such bills must originate in that body,
and, hit or miss, figures must be agreed
upon.
1t is likewise up to the democratic party
now i'll full control. to support the gov
eminent in good style; and that, We may
assume, is the desire and purpose OF it's
leaders. The CUFF of the stump Is past.
The plain duty of the hour is here.
The men whom the Speaker has called
together are, like himself, experienced
and patriotic. They know the country's
real needs. and when in the minority
voted Tor many Of the liberal appropria-
lions proposed by the republicans. Leav-
ing out OF the question the merit of the
matter, they well understand that there
are no votes in this country for a party
