Issues and Next Year.

Chairman Hi1les of the national
committee has outlined in an inter-
view next years republican campaign.
As he sees the matter, the issues will
be the tariff, the enormous appropr1a-
tons by the democrats after pledglng
candidacy of Mr.. Wilson in face of
the expression at Baltimore in favor
of a single term in the White House,
the state socialism embodied in the
ship purchase bill. and the Presidents
handling of both the Mexican prob
lem and the European problems.
These are interesting issues, and
there is meat in them all for the
republicans. The new tariff has fail
ed, the economy pledge stands not
only unredeemed but foutcd, the
President wants second term and
seems certain of a second nominal
ton, the ship purchase proposition
has been condemned by many lead
ing democrats, and Mexico today is
HESS beyond parallel.
Thursday night the President will
speak by invitation at an anniversary
celebration of the Manhattan Club in
New York, and there is some expecta-
ton that he will improve the oppor-
tunity to outline the democratic CAM
palgn little in advance OF his ad-
dress to Congress. He may not go
that far; but in whatever he saws
there will be much OF interest to his
party and the country. In a large
sense he is the party, as such speaks
by the card, and will be both candi-
date and platform next year.
1t Is early, however, for ANYBODY.
even the President, to be foreca sting
next years campaigns, as respects
either issues or results. The issues
Mr.. Hilles mentions look very i'm
portant now, and will undoubtedly
enter into the great contest. Like
wise will the democrats in some way
have to meet them.
FSAAeASS PAOPOSCS, anu llIle QlS-
poses. Much may happen in the next
eight months to put new face on
things. The war in Europe is still in
full swing, and widening. The mess"
IN Mexico may grow "messier." Con-
ditions in this country, now much dis
turbed and confusing, may show new
difficulties. Who may say, therefore,
at this time what next years para
mountcy will be? 1t may be domes-
tic without relation to foreign. 1t
may be domestic growing out of the
foreign. 1t may be foreign alto
gether.
But whatever the paramount issue
Or issues may be when the presiden-
tial campaign opens, the two parties
will have to prepare themselves ac-
cordingly. Both candidates for the
presidency will have to face the music

epigram was this: "I'd rather be a
hitchin' post in New York than a con-
gresham in Washington" AS given
by the Times it was this: "a con-
gresham may sound all right in New
York. but in Washington they hitch
horses to him."
Now, it is only necessary to pre-
sent the two versions together, and
remember who Tim was-Big Tim,
the Big Fellow, Big-hearted Tim; all
sport and no statesman-to see that
The Stars version-long current and
often quoted in Washington-is the
correct one Tim had no thought of
slamming Washington or congress-
men in Washington, but was only in
dulging in little frank confession
at his own expense He could see,
as could everybody else, that he was
misft in the House; and being a
practical, everyday man, he wanted
to get back where he could be of
some use. He would rather be a
"hitchin-post in New York" than
nothing in Washington.
And he acted on his feelings. He
declined reelection to the House and
had himself elected to the state leg
islature. He sighed for Albany,
where, from experience, he knew that
comparisons among statesmen were
not as severe as in this town.
Despite this experience. The Star is
not discouraged. 1t is on the ground,
in the hearing of the many good
things said in the cloakrooms and
corridors of the Capitol-and more
are said there than in the open cham
bers of Congressman will continue
to hold the scales level, both as to
statesmen who make no epigrams
and those who make nothing else.

Court and Jail Congestion.

Supt Zinkhan of the District Jail
in his annual report calls attention
to the fact that the average number
of prisoners confined there is on the
increase, and he attributes this fact
to court congestion rather than to
an increase in -criminality in the Dis
trict. More and more each year the
Jail is occupied by prisoners await
ing trial Or sentence, as a result of
the inability of the courts to keep
pace with the calendars. Some
months ago Justice Gould, addressing
the District Bar Association, urged
the members of that organization to
work for legislation charging the
District supreme bench, and it may
be believed that he spoke for the en-
tire court in this matter
The District court is confronted
with an exceptionally important ar
ray OF cases every year, many of
them involving issues with the gov
eminent, and protracted trials are
frequent, with the result of congest-
ing the calendars seriously Usually
two members of the court are as
signed to criminal cases, whereas
three courts should be available for
this class of work. If an additional
judge is provided he should be as
c,r aI II
of the term.
One OF the most aggravating forms
of judicial delay is that which COM
pels an accused person to wait long
time for trial. 1t is unjust to the
prisoner and to the community. While
delays are not infrequently due to
devices of the defense, as a rule they
are attributable to the lack of court
facilities. 1t not infrequently hap
pens that persons charged with the
commission of crime are held for half
year before their cases are called,
when both Sides are ready for trial.
Often when trial has begun the pub
lie has forgotten all the circum-
stances Of the crime, and thus the
moral effect of the administration of
justice is seriously weakened.
Supt. Zinkhan's figures in his an
nual report should serve effectively
as an argument for the creation of at
least one more judge of the District
Supreme Court, to relieve the present
congestion and to permit speedier
trials.

That Tale of the Two Tins.
Says the New York Evening Pc

Says the New York Evening Post
"A mildly amusing newspaper dis
cussion has been going on about the
authorship OF the phrase: What is a
little thing like the Constitution be-
tween friends The Washington Star
inadvertently attributed it to the late
Hon. Tim Sullivan. But our neigh
Dor, the Times. jealous for historical
accuracy, protested that this was a
mixing up of the Tins, the true and
only begetter of the saying, which
has now passed into current speech,
being the Hon Tim Campbell. This
is also our understanding of the mat
ter; and we believe that Col Roose-
welt. who has often quoted the re-
mark with zest. always gives Camp
bell as the original author"
This is enough to discourage a
saint, much less humble chronicler
striving to keep the epigrams of two
departed New York statesmen on
straight. 1t was The Star that had
rescued the Tim Campbell epigram
from the clutches of Tim Sullivan's
admirers, and explained that Mr..
Campbell had made the remark to
President Cleveland. Doubtless Mr..
Roosevelt has repeated the remark
many times with zest. So have
others. 1t is capital in its way, and
will preserve its authors memory

Star to account for its version of an
epigram that Tim Sullivan did make

divides to the latter city. Evidently
the race is now between the allied
forces and the Bulgars for the oc-
cupation and retention of Uskup,
which lies about 40 miles by rail
from Saloniki. From time to time
dispatches come indicating the land
ing of additional allied forces at Sa-
loniki, and meanwhile feet of al
lied vessels is engaged in the bonn
bardment of Bulgarian ports on the
Aegean sea. A rigid censorship IS
being exercised with regard to the
allied movement against Bulgaria. so
there is no knowledge as to whether
landing of forces is to be attempted
in the Adrianople district for flank
movement against Constantinople or
an effort to cut the railway line for
the control of which the German
Austro-Brlgar movement is now di-
rected. Another element of doubt re-
lates to the possibility of Russian
movement southwark through Ru-
mania into Bulgaria. 1t is physically
possible for Russia to land troops in
Bulgaria without going through Ru-
mania, the Black sea being open to
Russian transports. 1t is, perhaps, to
prevent such shipment of troops
that the former German cruisers
Goeben and Breslau and two Turkish
torpedo boats have arrived at Varna,
Bulgaria's principal port on the Black
sea, according to a dispatch from
Bucharest, which adds that the two
cruisers are again flying the German
flag, although they were at one time
formally transferred to Turkey.
