Property Owners and Street Paving.

Decision having been rendered by the
corporation counsel that the so-called
Boriand amendment to the District ap-
preparation bill. putting part Of the cost
Of street paving upon the owners of
abutting property. applies to work un-
dertaken this year, the Commissioners
are to proceed upon the new basis with
the improvement Of the streets by orisi-
nal paving and resurfacing. The question
arises whether the owners of the prop
critics abutting the streets chosen for
paving or repairs are to have any de-
termining voice in the matter. 1t would
seem only just to give them the chance
to veto any proposition for the expendi-
ture Of money which must come in large
part from their pockets. In many cases
the assessment of paving costs upon the
owners of property will prove an un-
bearable burden upon them. 1t is con-
ceivable that some owners of property
may be overwhelmed by these costs. if
put upon them without their consent.
OF course the Improvement of \ street
cannot be left to the individual wishes
OF the owners OF property adjacent alto
sether-that is to say. a street cannot be
paved piecemeal, or left unpaved ac-
cording as A. or E. or c. may elect. But

But Mr.. McCombs is not confining his

Is glancing from the Atlantic to the

fact nat his name has not been associ-
ated at any time with controversies
growing out Of patronage. There has
been no 'McCombs slate" mentioned in
any quarter when the hunt for Office has
attracted attention.
Paris is bright and gay. and the life
Of an ambassador there is full of move
ment and pleasure. But in deciding to
remain at home and bear hand in the
rough-and-tumble of our political actvi-

which testifes to the American spirit OF
wanting to be near when big things are

There is something misleading, therefore,

Congress could not part with that power

There are some republicans and prob
ably as many democrats who believe
that the tariff should be taken out Of
politics; and a non-partisan tariff COM
mission is the means they propose for
that end.
i: is strange how that idea persists In
the face of facts beyond controversy.

and apportions the money thus raised for
the support of the government.
As respects taxation applied to imports,
there are two schools of thought. One
holds that taxes should be laid only for
revenue purposes: that protection per Sc
is unconstitutional and moreover harm
full in its effect on our great public in
terests.
The other school holds that protection
is both constitutional and a blessing. 1t

protecting and encouraging American in

what has been done for American devel-

AS Congress is charged with the mat

out Of politics.? From the beginning
voters have divided on the subject. a
party favoring tariff for protection has
opposed u party favoring tariff for rev.

elected In part on that issue.

The Dove Of Peace is busy
She is almost getting dizzy
And she wears a bandage on her weary
throat.
In these days SO dark and trying
She is fussing round and flying
Till she scarcely has the strength to COO

She must hike across the border
And endeavor to keep order.
Then she hurries to the Asiatic cline
Where the royal execution

And they're holding rebellion all the

Then the ills that threaten Europe
She must undertake to cure up
And remove the mutual causes of dislike

Adjournment.

Mr. Underwood's suggestion that the
question Of the adjournment of Con-
gress may be affected by Developments
in Europe is very important.
II it comes. war on the scale threat
ened will shake the world. The like
Of it is not recorded. The length of it
cannot be forecast. The effects of it
will be beyond calculation
In way. the United States is on the
outside. But in another way it Is on
the inside. We are a world power. and
have large business connections with
Europe Great smash there will cause
at least great trembling here.
We should keep ourselves prepared
as well as possible for all emergencies.
With only the domestic situation in
hand. it has been the opinion of many
that the country would benefit by
cessation of the activities of Congress
until winter.
But. upon the instant, a new situation
confronts US. and Congress is a most
important factor in the equation. In
such circumstances legislation when
necessary is very necessary. and with
Congress in session the country will
feel a greater security.
Early adjournment has been urged
not alone upon business grounds but
upon political grounds. Senators and
representatives standing for reelection
have been anxious about their cam
paisns. and eager to go home and take
charge in person.
But in the new circumstances the
higher duty may be here. And such
being the case. we may expect men
Of both parties to rise to it.
How much this years campaigns may
be affected by the sudden change in
matters is question. Election day
cannot be postponed. Even if the
whole of Europe is rocking with
armed conflict, the voters in this coun-
try will go to the polls in November
and choose a new House and third
of the Senate.
Today the issue between the two
parties is the record of the admins
tration. The republicans challenge the
new tariff law. some features of the
new currency law. the forcing of trust
legislation at this time, and the Presi-
dents course toward Mexico, Colom-
bia and Nicaragua And that chal-
lenge Will stand regardless of what
may occur between now and November
But the vigor of the campaign, the
efforts of the managers Of both parties
to stir the electorate under the new
conditions as they would have had
little trouble in doing under the old.
will depend. We are approaching a
situation that puzzles as well by its
novelty as by its magnitude.

The Closed Exchanges.

The closing of the stock exchanges yes
terday came as total surprise, although
when it occurred the reasonableness OF
the action was apparent. Undoubtedly
this procedure saved many persons from
loss in the stock market. The excite
ment attendant upon the sudden fall Of
values, with the temptations offered for
speculative trading, might quickly have
developed into a panic, carrying away
substantial values and running great
numbers.
So seldom have the doors Of the ex-
changes been closed that the country
will require some time to adjust to the
condition. Yet it is possible to continue
for long period without a stock mar
ket, so long as conditions are unsettled.
In point Of fact the great majority of
the business done on change is specu-
lative, and the curtailment of this sort
of trading is not undesirable. Margin
buying and selling is no less than gam
bling. with the securities of railroads
and industrial corporations as the pawns
OF the game.
The sudden downward movement of the
market Thursday was caused, it now
appears. by the receipt of heavy selling
orders from European security holders.
anxious TO transform their possessions
quickly into cash. When large blocks of
stock are thrown upon the market sud-
denly there must be an equal readiness
to buy. else the prices will fall steadily.
Evidently there was not sufficient abb
sorptive capacity in the market to take
care of all the securities offered, and in
obedience to the law Of supply and de-
mand the prices shrank.
There is no reason to apprehend diff
culties resulting from this spasmodic
downward movement, checked as 1t has
been by the closing of the exchanges.
Some failures have occurred, but not SO
many as would have resulted from con-
tinued trading. with panic in the air and
voluminous offers from abroad and from
timorous American holders. Real values
will perhaps shrink somewhat under the
influence of the foreign situation, with
confidence undermined by the apparent
prospect of a general conflict But the
substantial factors of prosperity are not
seriously affected, and in some respects
the foreign crisis may rebound to Amer
lean advantage. The wheat crop Is enor
nous and wheat is certain to command a
higher price II war occurs on a large
scale. This will make for dearer food
stuffs at home. but will bring in heavy

The New Philippines Project.

From the New York Sun.
The administration bill for the regu-
lation of the Philippine question seems
to abound in possibilities of future
trouble. 1t is one OF those measures
which give thorough satisfaction to no
body. The Filipino patriots will rage
at 1t because it leaves the independence
question vaguer than ever. The islands
are TO be Independent "as soon as the
people have established stable govern
ment."
On the other hand. the many persons
who do not believe in Filipino capacity
for rulership either present or proximate
will be alarmed at the extent to which
the new territorial government of the
islands is handed over to the natives
by the bill.
