members Of the conference. First. be-
cause of her geographical location In

Three Important Problems.

Thes republicans have made their
record on the tax question. Now II
they are wise to their best interests
they viii record themselves on both
the tariff question and the transporta-
ton question. as early in the session
as possible.
Those are the domestic questions
which will bulk largest in the next
congressional campaign. Indeed. to q
degree. the party win be on trial in
its tai and tariff and transportation
measures. II In operation they satisfy.
another republican success at the polls
will be achieved. On the other hand.
their failure will be likely to result in
Q democratic victory.
A test extending over some months
is desirable. A short test might be
misleading. Hence, as the decision is
to be rendered next November, the
sooner the new tariff measure and
the new transportation measure are
added to the new tax measure the
better.
.The TAX measure, IL may Oe Salo
very frankly, pleases nobody. 1t is u
compromise growing out Of a very
difficult situation. But. such as 1t is.
there 1t is. and the republicans must
answer for it at the polls. They will
be lucky II 1t disappoints expectation
and justifies itself in action.
In both the tariff question and the
transportation question the republi'
cans h2vs difficulties to overcome and
divisions to heal, and they win be for.
tunate If they come through in shape
to meet the demands Of a distressed
and impatient public. The tariff in
particular 10 a knotty problem at this
time, and has been at sll times when
tackled In good earnest.

Plans for Memorial Bridge.

Inclusion In the deficiency bill Of an
item Of $25, 900 for the preparation Of
plans for the memorial bridge to con-
meet the Lincoln Memorial with Ar
iington has been voted by the Senate
appropriations committee. and thus
again the project is started on the way
to execution. This matter has been
hanging fire for many years. It 10
realized now apparently at the Capitol
that the bridge should not be longer
delayed, that It Is urgently needed as
a means Of access between the city
and the national cemetery, which -
the scene Of frequent great assem-
blages.
Bridge construction Is slow work.
The building Of memorial bridge, how.
ever simply it may be designed In
modification of the original plans, will
be matter Of at least Ave years. II
the funds for plan.malking are voted
now, and Il the plans are promptly
drawn and submitted and approved
and appropriation is made. say in the
regular bills enacted before July /.
and the money for the first contracts
10 made available for the new fiscal
year, In all likelihood 1t will be Janu-
ary 1, 1897, before the bridge is opened
for use, even with unremittlng con-
struction work. This fact should be
taken into account Id Congress in the
consideration of the memorial bridge
item. Present.day Treasury stress is
not a substantial reason for further
postponement, for the funds for the
construction will be voted from year
to year over the period suggested,
perhaps longer. and little weight will
fall upon the government resources
In any one season.
In view Of what happened on Armi.
stice day there should be no hesitation
whatever in Congress about voting
now to start this work. Definite a.
surance should be given that in the
shortest possible time a means Of ac'
cess to Arlington will be afforded that
will accommodate the public on any
large occasion.

"A Born Kicker. /"

Emma Goldman did not appreciate
America until banished from the coun-
try. Since then she has discovered
that while residing here she was in
clover. Humored in most Of her plans
for self-advertisemeht, applauded free
ly by those who agreed with her. and
laughed at good-naturedly by those
who differed. she moved shout very
much at her pleasure. railing at all
law and order at 80 much per rail.
and making comfortable living un.
der a government she professed q de.
sire to destroy.
Presumably. II the war had not
come on, this woman would have con-
tinued to reside In the United States
and to inveigh against the country's
institutions She had acquired no in
fiuence and had but few followers.
But the war put rigid aspect on
things, and made the outsivings OF
even this poweriess scold intolerable.
So, properly enough. she was bundled
of to q country where the disorder
seemed such as would appeal to her.
But It did not. Ordered government
looked good by comparison.
The fact Is that this Goldman wom.
an has worked herself into such q
state she would not be contented un.
der any form Of government, or even
under formless conditions. The an
srchy she breaches and Of which she
dreams would no more please her
than have the several kinds Of govern
ment under which she has lived. She
Is best described in that homely old
phrase, "a born kicker" and her doom
is to kick at something or other all
thu daYs Of her life.
