The House democrats in caucus yester-
day took the only. course consistent with
intelligence and safety. They selected
for leaders the two men who had dem

had established personal claims to recog-
milton. Mr.. Clark for Speaker again and
Mr.. Underwood for chairman Of ways
and means again could not have been
denied without fatal consequences to the
democratic opportunity. The rejection of
either would have been a confession OF
party division threatening dire conse-

gram.

The Districts Rich Reaping.

The Congress that has just closed has
done 30 well by the District Of Columbia
that especial emphasis should be laid upon
Its enactments for the capitals develop
ment and administration. Most of these
benefits were conferred in the very last
hours OF the closing session. Whereas
few days ago 1t looked as though the
District would get practically nothing
positive out OF the session and might be
most definitely harmed by the enactments
carried by the appropriation bill. the final
result Is altogether satisfactory. The
attacks upon the organic act were warded
OF and on the score Of the Districts
financial relations to the federal govern
ment the bill came from conference in
highly gratifying form. 1t granted also a
much-needed revision of the excise law
and best OF all gave the District a means
OF regulating the public utilities. which
had been urgently needed and which.
without this method OF securing the legis-
lation. would have been denied for some
lime to come.
ings bill. however. are even more i'm
portant in making for the development
Of the District than anything that Con-
kIesS HAS uohc IoE years. 1uueeu, the
acquisition Of land TO connect Potomac
and Rock Greek parks is in itself an ac-
complishment which would make notable
an entire Congress. from the District s
point Of view. That is something the Dis
trict has been seeking earnestly and per-
sistentiy for quarter Of a century, the
reclamation OF lower Rock creek being
early recognized as needfui item of
local improvement. Had all the forces
making for the capitals development con-
centrated at the last session on this one
item its achievement would have been a
SUFFICIENT reward for the outlay OF time
and energy. But with 1t came other items
OF great Importance. and they came un-
expectediy. for experience has taught the

Fair PLAY All Around.

Evidently there is to be the closest
official scrutiny OF all the circumstances
surrounding the rowdy assaults. espe-
cially in the shape OF insulting words. to
which the marching woman suffragists
were subjected during the parade OF
March 8, and Of the causes Of the failure
of the police on that occasion to keep the
line Of march clear and to protect the
paraders from crowding and from insult.
1t will be ascertained, for instance.
whether the individual policemen who
failed to perform their duty were reta1-
lars or specials, whether in any instances
instead Of preventing they participated In
the rowdyism, whether their failure was
due to individual ineffciency or lack OF
Judgment or to the absence of orders ap.
propriate to the occasion from their su-
periors.
After weighing all the facts and con-
ditions of both aggravation and mitiEa-
ton the blame and punishment are to
be justly apportioned. The action OF
the Senate assures this course; an out
ragged public sentiment demands 1t ana
will be satisfied with nothing less.
Since it is thus certain that justice
win be done In relation to an occur
renee Of which Washington is ashamed.
care SHOULD be taken not to do fresh
injustice in correcting injustice by ex-
tending the application of righteous
Indignation and denunciation In the
matter far beyond the proper scope
For example, the rowdyism which the
police failed to check is not to be at
tributed to Washington. The vast
multitude which crowded and hustled
the paraders was composed in the main
of our tens Of thousands Of inaugural
visitors. including many who were to
march in the inaugural parade next
day.
The occurrence does not therefore In fair-
ness serve as text upon which to maSni-
~ and denounce Washington's criminal
record. Nor can we justly generalize from
this deplorable incident and prematurely
and sweepingly condemn on the strength
of 1t the c;ty's police administration For
many years and up to March the WASH
ington police force, though Inadequate in
numbers, has been recognized as sound
and effective, and its superintendent has
been widely known as energetic and ef-
ncient. This deserved good repute. built
up in years, is not to be overthrown pre-
maturely and hastily by the exceptional
events Of single day. however regret
table and even shameful this single oc-
currence may be.

Pay of Officers.
From the Boston Transcript.

ION Tue 0ObtOu 1IdubcIlPts
Every once in a while some economist
in Congress or the press is struck with the
greater cost of soldiers and sailors in this
country than In Europe and proceeds to
point the moral, which Is always extrava-
gance. 1t il perfectly true that we pay
much more to a given number OF officers
and soldiers or sailors than the same force
would receive in Europe. but It does not
follow that we are extravagant. On the
contrary, our pay tables range higher
because we are democratic, while the
European services are almost without ex-
ception autocratic. We throw open the
career to talent, and pay It proportion
ately, whereas In Europe talent without
private fortune cannot keep up re-
spectacle appearance in uniform. De-
sign governs the arrangement by which
commissions are almost exclusively held
by representatives Of the weii-t0-do
classes. Even Great Britain, which boasts
so loudly OF its business good sense. does
not pay its officers on business basis. It
gives them salaries that are, as compared
with expenditures, reasonably to be eek
pected, little more than nominal

Twenty-three years ago the democracy
carried the House on the Issue OF the
Reed rules, and signalized its advent to
power by adopting the very procedure 1t
had reprobated in the republicans. Two
years ago 1t carried the House partly on
the issues Of "Cannonism" and repub-
lican extravaganza in appropriations. and
signalized its advent to power by giving
q faithful copy Of ''Cannonism'' in I'm
derwoodism," and by appropriating for
the support Of the government more
money than the republicans had ever
done.
Now 1t is the tariff that will figure.
Shall we see that promise redeemed!
Shall we see the Payne tariff displaced
by tariff for revenue only, and the cost
OF living reduced to SO low figure that
all alike, republicans and democrats Will
rejoice? There is no earthly hope or
prospect Of any such thing. There VIII
be no attempt made to enact any such
legislation. AS the Payne. law did not
produce the high cost OF living, its re-
vision cannot possibly remedy that evil.
and as tariff for revenue only would
smash business in every quarter, the DEM
ocratic party has not thought, now that II
is in power, of entering upon any such
suicidal course. Watch, and see.

headquarters to which they had special
privileges Of admission. But IL he per-
sists he will save himself endless worry
and waste of time. There is no way of
preventing people from seeking ofiices 30
long as there are Offices to fill. But there
never was any reason why the President
should be personally subjected to their in
cessant demands. He has more impor-
tant work that demands his attention.
The Office Of President has been degraded
and it's dignity impaired by the system
SO long in vogue, q system founded on the
spoils-hunting idea. The hungry horde
that invades Washington on any change
of administration has its mind hxed solely
on selfish ends and petty politics.
