senator would be to tether him. BE
would have to remain home and look
out for his own campaign. Neither the
middle states, the near west. nor the
northwest, where he has many friends,
could hope for a visit from him.
Mr.. Roosevelt. being comparatively a
young man and still in politics, will
probably serve in Office again. But why
not in some office associable with his
tastes and experienced His start in
politics was as legislator, but his ap-
premiership was short. A term or two
in the New York legislature satisfied him
in that direction. His service since
then has been as an executive, and he
has acquired what may be called the
executive habit AS civil service COM
missioner, police commissioner, assist
ant secretary of the navy, Governor of
New York, Vice President and President,
he gave proof of what was best in him.
While he lives Mr.. Roosevelt will con-
tinue to be busy man. There is not
lazy bone in his body. And in the near
future, if the republicans with bull
moose aid return to power. opportuni-
ties for such a man will be numerous.
He would fit into any one of several
important places. and do good work for
the dominant party and the country.
But the humdrum of law-making and the
nice distinctions of debate would bore
him. and might exhaust his patience.
Not the Senate for any man Of a

aim and wait for the word in that body.

There was an optimist who tried

There's nothing really wrong.
"You see," said he, "the skies are blue
And birds are on the wing.
If you'll adopt my point of view,
Like me, you'll gayly sing.
Forget the sorrow and the rage
That elsewhere may be found.

That in life's book is bound"

"Your method, I confess,
OF optimism seems to me
Like common selfshness."

1866. is the following:
1T will be remembered that Mayor
wallach in his letter to the Secretary
of the Interior, which the latter trans
mitted to Congress in his report in ref
erence to the relations Of the general
government to the city of Washington,
made an exhibit showing the sums of
money. amounting in the aggregate to
$37.4-0.61, advanced by the city to the
general government at various times
for improvements upon government
property. and which sums have not
been refunded to the city. The mayor
called attention to the fact that Con-
gress, admitting the propriety of at
least spending in the improvement Of
the city what was realized from the
sale of the lots given by the original
proprietors of the soil to the govern
ment, on the 18th day Of May. 1920. by
the fifteenth section OF an act of that
date directed that the commissioner

as stated.
THE mayor has been assiduous in
urging upon Congress the justice of re-
funding this money, and 1t would seem
that his labors are nov likely to be
crowned with success. An appropria-
ton was inserted in the deficiency bill
to repay the money, but objection was
made by members that it was an ap-
preparation not germane to the de-
that bill. Those Directing to it's in
sertion in that bill. however. expressed
their willingness to support it in any

ported unanimously by the House COM

Prussia and Austria. In the Star of
June 81. 1856. is the following:
THE arrival of the next steamer
from Europe Is looked for with con-
siderable interest, as 1t is probable,
from the tenor of the late news. that
she will bring intelligence of the COM
mencement of actual hostilfties. The
from Berlin and the departure Of the
Prussian minister from Vienna not
only indicate this. but it is not likely
that Austria will forbear to resent at
once the action of Prussia. which
power has overrun the whole of Hol-
stein. the Austrians being virtually
pushed out of that territory. Besides.
Austria had given notice that the Es-
tates of Holstein should be conven-
ed at 1tzehoe. but the Prussians had
forcibly prevented the meeting and ar
rested the commissioner, a chief Of
ficer of the estates. The old Holstein
government under the Austrians was
broken up and a new provisional gov
eminent for both duchies was estab-
lished by the Prussians. 1t is therefore
possible that Austria will follow up
this measure by a decisive blow.
In Italy, too, preparations are active
and Garibaldi is threatening an inva-
sion of the southern Tyrol Switzerland
has called out the first reserve of her
army. to defend the passes of the Alps
toward Italy, and Kossuth has issued
an address to the Hungarians advising
them to hold themselves in readiness

In the meantime Louis Napoleon,
with his usual caution, says little. but
stands ready to avail himself of any
opportunity to strengthen his position
and aggrandize France by the annexa-
ton of the Rhine provinces or any
other slice of territory which may fall
to his share in the general scramble.
In his letter recently read to the
corps legislatif in reference to the pro-
posed conference, which failed, he says
that he would have been opposed to
any territorial aggrandizement by
France as long as the peace was MAIN
tanned and European equilibrium was
