The Hypochondriac.

When you're feeling sort Of gloomy,
and it's hard to sing a song.
And the world is going wrong;
When the breeze SO lightly straying
where the withered leaves are
tossed
Only brings another frost,
It's then you're strongly tempted to
hunt up dusty nook
And read the gloomy teachings of a
pessimistic book.
And mebbe you take medicine, when
it would be more wise
To be taking exercise.
When you pass the hours away in
superheated atmosphere,
And you say you're feeling queer:
When you go and shut the window
with a gesture of despair
In your terror of fresh air.
You say. while eating everything from
onions to mince pie,
You have to be so careful, or your
health will go awry!
Then the doctor comes and tells you,
In way that shocks your pride,
You're committing suicide.

The Senate Committees Report.

The Senate appropriations committee
has done what the District hoped and
expected II would do with respect to
the johnson amendment to the District
appropriation bill, adopted by the
House, in eliminating it from the
measure and thereby checking the at
tack upon the half-and-half system.
The committee strikes out the johnson
amendment as violation of the principle
which Is the vital essence of the or
ganic act of 1873. This leaves the law
unchanged so far as it goes and insurcs
a continuance of the equal federal pay
ments for District maintenance.
1t is to be believed that the Senate
will adopt the District bill in the form
in which it has just been reported.
eliminating the Johnson amendment.
The Districts hope is that the Senate
will unf1inchingly resist that PROPOSE
tion throughout the process of enacting
the bill, in conference and in action on
the conference report The Senate's
record heretofore has been unbroken in
its support of the fundamental princi-
pie of District finance, and there is no
reason to doubt now that 1t will yield
to the House in this matter, in the abb
sence of any argument to justify
change from the system that has re-
suited in the evolution of a capital
that is the pride of the American peo-
pie.
In it's details the bill as it comes
from the Senate committee, appropriating
Sc more than the current law, IS
more salts actory than that which passed
the House, though it does not reach the
point of the Commissioners estimates
by 1851. .s09.7S and leaves unprovided for
many items that are urgently needed
for the Districts maintenance and de-
velopment. The estimates themselves
were extremely conservative and eco
nomical. and to find these reduced by
this large sum in the practically high
est point which The bill will reach in
its course of enactment, and subject to
probable reduction in conference, is not
promising for the proper upkeep of the
National Capital municipality during
the coming fiscal year. However,
this is a condition to be borne the
more cheerfully in view of the action
of the Senate committee on the major
proposition of the organic act, against
which the House has made so direct an
attack.

The Art Exhibition.

Reports Indicate that the general
public has not been attending the ex-
hibition Of paintings at the Corcoran
Gallery Of Art in numbers this year as
large as usual, and the suggestion has
been made that this Is due to a failure
to understand that the gallery is open
for this purpose, without admission
charge, every Sunday afternoon and
also every Friday evening. These two
occasions give excellent opportunity for
those who are engaged during the day
to attend the exhibition and study the
works of cotemporaneous American
painters there displayed. Judged from
any point of view this exhibition is
always instructive, regardless of indi-
vidual opinions as to the merits of
the whole or of individual items of
the display. 1t betokens the latest
tendency in American art and is an in
dex to the manner and rate of develop
ment such as Washingtonians cannot
obtain save by visits to other cities at
times of similar exhibitions there.
Washington has been fortunate in Sc
curing this biennial exhibition through
the enterprise and public spirit of the
Corcoran Gallery trustees. and origi-
nally and in considerable measure con-
tinuously from the beginning through
the generosity of former Senator Clark,
whose liberal gifts for prizes have
stimulated competition. 1t is impos-
sible to believe that the comparatively
slight attendance on the free occasions
is due to lack of public interest, and
The Star trusts that fuller under
standing of the fact of openings with
out fee on Friday night and Sunday
afternoon will prevail and during the
three weeks that remain Of the exhibition
the gallery will be well filed on those
occasions.

A Merchant Marine .

Now that debate is opening in the
Senate on the proposition that the
United States should again become a
great carrier on the sea number OF
points calling for investigation by
those familiar with the whole subject
of a merchant marine suggest them
selves:
% When was the United States
power?
(2) What caused the decline to the
present status. when the American Is
a stranger to merchant ships except
of coastwise tonnage?
90 What is the difference between
that older time of pride for the coun'
try and the present time of helpless
ness and depression. as respects sea
routes, sea inducements and sea ad-
vantages?
4) What advantages are there to
a country in a large and well ap'
pointed merchant marine in addition
to those bearing upon trade?
(5) Which are the greatest Of the
sea-carrying powers. what the extent
of their business, and by what means
now maintain themselves, on the
water?
(s) And if we are to build our
selves up into their class and main
tain ourselves in their company-com-
pete with them for sea trafifc-what
means should we, will we be obliged
to, employ?
We want, and should have, mer-
chant marine. 1t is a reflection on
the country that it pays 3300.ee0.00e

ried in foreign bottoms. when every
dollar Of the huge sum might be
saved. and other dollars earned. by
making ourselves Independent on the
water. The Stars and Stripes flying
over merchandise SHOULD be seen In
every foreign port where business is

tions are doing business. This should
be achieved as commercial advantage
aside from the value a merchant feet is
to a nation in time OF war In which
that nation is involved.
In the preliminary skirmishes in the
Senate, Mr.. GIaliinger. Mr.. Lodge and
Mr.. Root have shown lively interest
in this subject. All three understand
it, and are among the Senate's ables,
members. If. therefore, when they
come to speak at length, they give US
the information The Star suggests and
extended comment on it, they will in.

action on our part Imperative; and. OF
course, the action taken should be
without partisan or sectional bias OF
influence. What Is in mind relates te

those appointed to such Offices should
have In the meanwhile claimed resi-
dence nowhere else. In other wefds'
the statute provided that a man to be
appointed District Commissioner must
be an actual present resident Of the
District without diversion OF interests
elsewhere for at least three years.
In accordance with the doctrine laid
down by Chief Justice Shepard IN MS
dissenting opinion, a man might oe ap-
pointed District Commissioner "no'
having lived here for q few mohths'
say, in 1895. left Washington Tor some
work elsewhere Of a peripatetic char-
acter, carrying him all over the coun-
try, or perhaps all over the world, ana
keeping him away from washington
for twenty years, at the end OF which
time he might return and declare that
he had not meanwhile gained "resi-
dence' elsewhere and that 1t had been
his purpose on leaving here in 1895 to
return. He would, under this construc-
tion Of the law, be fully qualified TO
serve as District Commissioners, though
out Of touch with the affairs Of the
community for twenty years. There Is
evidently, under this reading Of the
law, no time limit to the absence per-
missible without disqualifying man
who has meanwhile acquired no hxed
and legal residence in another 5urfsdic-
ton.
Under such a construction Of the stat
ute there could be no guarantee what
ever of administration Of District at
fairs by men acquainted with local con-
ditions. in sympathy with the aspira-
tions and needs of the people and in
fact as well as theory of the people
over whom they are set by presidential
appointment. The trainers of the stat
ute of 1873 cannot be deemed so incon-
siderate of the principles of home rule
as to devise a residential qualification
susceptible of such a loose interpreta-
tion as to permit the appointment of
man without actual residential connec-
ton here for three years continuously
in exclusive Identification with this
community.

The optimism that has predicted that

Teaching Local History.
the Cincinnati Times Star.

from tne Clnclnnat1 Times Star.
The teaching of local history in pub
lie schools is occasionally discussed
and then the suggestion is allowed to
die OF inanition. But 1t is nevertheless
a matter OF considerable Importance
II patriotism and state pride are to be
founded on something more substantial
than enervescent sentiment, they
should be built on a knowledge of wha,
community, state or a nation has
done in and for the world. American
school children are fairly well ground
ed in national history. But we doub,
II many Of them could relate the history
of the state in which they live, the
facts surrounding it's origin, the char.
acter and development of it's constitu.
tion or the names and deeds of its
great men, and women.
