Navy Yard Pay.

The action of the Navy Department
regarding the wages of mechanics at
the naval gun foundry in this city
would have been more satisfactory
to the operatives if it had indicated
greater promptness in the ascertain
ment of actual conditions. Under the
law the government is compelled to
pay at navy yards and institutions of
that character wages on a level with
those paid for similar work at pri-
waite Establishments. The Secretary
announces that a board of inquiry is
to be appointed at once to investi-
gate the prevailing rate of wages in
private Establishments for work done
similar to that at the Washington
foundry instead of waiting until the
regular period of wage adjustment in
December, and it is intimated that if
this board reports that lower wages
are being paid at the Washington
yard than elsewhere a change will
be made in the scale. 1t has been
indicated for some time that higher
wages are being paid at private in
stitutions for skilled labor Of the kind

The House and Sectionalism.

A. Representative Fitzgerald of
New York Is under designation at
home for a place on the bench, and
may be chosen in November, specu-
la,ion is playing around the chair
manship of the committee on appro-
priations in the next House.
Mr.. Sherley of Kentucky is in line
for promotion, and is very compe-
tent man. AS a member of the COM
n1ittee in previous Congresses he bore
his share OF the burden we'll, and so
as to gain the respect of both sides
of the chamber. More student than
orator. he went TO the root of ques-
tons, and spoke only when he had
something OF value to say. He COM
pleted in March his sixth term as a
member of the House, and so, while
still young man. is veteran leg
islator. He represents the Louisville,
the metropolitan, district, which, be-
sides himself. has sent to Congress
IN the past thirty years Albert S.
Willis and Walter Evans, who, like
himself, achieved distinction there.
The only objection to Mr.. Sherley
as yet offered relates to sectional
ism. He is classed as a southern
man, and the south, it is asserted, will
be very strong in the next House
without according to her this i'm
portant Craftsmanship. She will have

tary committee, and that of the naval
committee. Clark of Missouri,
Kitchin of North Carolina. Hay of
Virginia and Padgett of Tennessee
will, respectively, fill those posts.
The objection, however, does not
seem sufficient 1t leaves out of con-
sideration Mr.. Sherley's ability and
experienee-two prime points in a
legislator at this time in particular
and it ignores the fact that the south
is the mainstay of the democratic
party. Now and then the democracy
makes a squirt in the east, or west,
or middle states, but her steady IS
the south. when other helpers fail
and comforts fee" the south stands
by with votes in Congress and in the
electoral college. Last November,
when the east, and west, and middle
states lost democratic seats in the
House by the dozens, the south lost
but one-in Louisiana on the sugar
question.
The north has not distinguished
herself as has the south in demo-
cratic House circles for some years.
Her members have been fewer, and
they have not remained long. Changes
have been much more frequent in
the one section than in the other.
This has given the south an advan-
tage. and it now shows. The demo-
cratic veterans in the present House
are southern men.

PresideneE ana Speakership.

.tr. Mann of Illinois is just now
en,vyine an unusual distinction. His
name figures in connection with both
the most important and the next
most important Office under the gov
eminent. There is a boom for him
for President, and another for him
for Speaker of the next House. He
has not announced for either place,
but that he would fill either we'll is
an opinion widely entertained, and
not confined to hts own party.
This distinction grows out of Mr..
Mann's services as minority leader in
the last House. He had difficult
task, but acquitted himself with great
credit. The democracy had come into
full power, and in the House had a
very large majority. The legislative
program was ambitious, covering all
the .leading issues of the day, the
tariff, the trusts, and the currency.
And yet, powerless to shape legisla-
ton, Mr.. Mann handled his small fol-
lowing with consummate ability, and
received the praise of even the tri-
umphant opposition.
While there are number of re-
publicans mentioned in connection
with the presidency, there is but one
mentioned, or likely to be mentioned,
in connection with the speakership.
If the next House is republican and
Mr.. Mann a member he will have no
opposition for the chair. That honor
will go to him unanimously and with
enthusiasm.
1t is reasonably certain, tco, that if
the republicans win the presidency
they will win also the next House.
A change of sentiment turning Mr..
Wilson down would go beyond that,
and turn the democratic party down.
A veritable landslide would be nee
essary to take in the Senate, but
some republicans are expecting a
landslide.
Mr.. Mann in the speakership would
have large opportunity. He would
be at home in the chair, and there
would be a large order to execute.
Tariff revision, trust revision and a
measure of currency revision, not to
mention other matters, would be on
the cards. If republican, the Sixty
fifth Congress will be a very busy
body.
And in such circumstances the pow
ers of which the democrats have
stripped the speakership should be re-
stored. The Office was intended to
be, and was under the old order, one
of great Influence as we'll as dignity
and Mr.. Clark, had he been per-
mitted, would have exerted that in
huence to the advantage of his party
and the benefit of the country. The
gavel in its former form would fit Mr..
Mann's hand to T.
But Mr.. Mann is still a factor in
the presidential confabulation, and
will probably continue so until con-
vention time.

Electric Current Rates.

When the public utilities commits
sion comes to consider the question
of electric current rates it should
not confne its view to the re-
lationship that may exist between the
Potomac Electric Power Company
and the Washington Railway and
Electric Company, its associated cor
poration and largest single customer.
That there is need of a readjustment
of the rates is obvious, but the low
ering which the public expects and
deserves should not be based alone
upon any inequity that may now pre-
vail in the relations between these
two corporations and the cure of that
inequity by action of the commission.
The rates are higher today than they
should be, regardless of any dealings
between two supposedly separate
but actually identical organizations.
Comparisons between the electric
rates paid here and elsewhere lead
directly to this conclusion. The rate
should be fixed primarily upon the
basis of cost of production and dis
tribution and volume of use. The
question of incorporation relation
ship may have large bearing upon
the matter also. If the physical val
uation of the power company's hold
ings is not sufficiently advanced to
permit a rate adjustment immediate
ly it should be fastened to this end
so that the whole question can be
considered at once

engaged here, and numbers of the
navy yard machinists have gone else
where to take advantage of these
prices. If the special board had been
appointed prior to the first of July,
when the new appropriation went
into effect, the readjustment could
have been effected in season to pre-
vent the differences of which the men
have since complained and which
were the subject of the recent repre-
sensations to the President. The
grievance of the navy yard machin-
lists is that situation which was we'll

DR.. Dumba's Predicament.

The situation in which DR.. Dumba,
the Austrian ambassador to the
United States. .,hnds himself is en-
barrassinp boths for him and for this
government. He makes no denial
that among the letters taken in Lon
don from an American correspondent
on his way to Germany and Austria
was one from him to the foreign
Office at Vienna. in which he de-
scribed his efforts ITO interfere with
the manufacture Of munitions in this
country for the allies. He has I'M
officially explained. however. that his
sole purpose was 60 take out of the
munitions works the,subjects of Aus
tria-Hungary there engaged. who, he
says, are an ignorant class, and prob
ably no. aware of the fact that their
employment in the making of war
materials for use against Austria's
enemies is an offense against the
laws OF their home country. He
pleads for them also that they are
virtually slaves in the hands of their
employers.
If DR.. Dumba can persuade this
government that he was acting only
in the interest of his compatriots to
relieve their burdens and to absolve
them from the charge of treachery
against their home government he
may be able to satisfy the exactions
of diplomatic custom sufficiently to
remain in this country in good sta
tus His letter, however, on its face,
as far as it has been quoted, indi
Gates rather broader and improper
purpose. 1t suggests an active propa-
ganda to cripple the munitions fac
tories in this country, in other words,
an effort by him as an official rep
resentative of Austria to interfere
with a legitimate American industry.
In this aspect his conduct has been
beyond the pale of official excuse.
The administration is naturally en-
barrassed by this incident. 1t is not
seeking reasons for finding fault
with any of the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of European governments
in this critical state of affairs. 1t
would prefer to proceed without fric-
ton and without change of person
mel. The dismissal of the Austrian
ambassador, which would seem to be
indicated as justifable if the facts
are as they now appear, might raise
a difficult issue with the government
at Vienna regarding the question of
the dual nationality of Austrian sub
Iects. On this topic the United States
holds views at variance with those
of European governments, which are
apparently irreconcilable, and it
would be undesirable to raise that
point at this stage.
The people have confidence that the
State Department will deal with this
matter judiciously and wisely. 1t
calls for patience and discretion, and
not for the rigidity of rule which
might govern in ordinary cases. But
this patience will not be justified in
an extension to condone an offense
against American rights of property
on the part of an accredited repre-
sentative of a foreign government.
