The .cooling.ofo Period.

The only really sound argument in
behalf Of the short session OF Congress
after an election, opprohriously labeled
the "lame-duck session." Is the So
called "cooling-off' period therein
provided; an interiude during which the
passions Of the electorate, famed to
fever heat by the shouting In the
b astings, win be replaced by the calm
and sober reflection OF victorious states
men. The proof u lacking, but that Is
the argument. And the short session
seems destined to remain for many o
long day, II the disposition Of the House
to change 1t, rs registered In the past.
Is any index.
There viii be plenty Of time to cool
on after the election Of yesterday. The
elected candidates will not be seated
until after March 4. Their pay begins
ON that date. but a. the next
Congress win be coalition II not Demo-
cratic controlled there does not seem
to be much prospect Of an extra session
on March s. The victorious hosts Of
the Democrats win cool their heels In
the Hobbies until December, 1881. A
cooling-oh period Of thirteen months Is
In prospect. and In thirteen months
almost anything cools and some things
freeze.
Senator Norris has become the tradi-
tional champion OF the constitutional
amendment necessary to abolish the
lame-duck sessions, and In the Senate
he has found willing allies. Three or
four times the necessary two-thirds vote
with plenty TO spare has been obtained,
but the House has remained obdurate
and rnmoyed. Only once has the pro-
posal been allowed to come to vote,
and while majority Of the House
favored It on that lone occasion, the
two-thirds were lacking. Thus the
electorate, which expresses its wishes in
protest or approval Of the administra-
ton. must experience delay Of more
than year before the expression finds
voice in legislation.

Cleavage i'm Austria
Brings Fascist Party

From the Rochester Times. Union.
The election which takes place In
Austria November win be one Of the
most critical since the foundation Of
the Austrian Republic. For o period Of
the last 10 years there has tended to
be q sharper division between the City
Of Vienna and the country districts.
Vienna being strongly Socialist and the
country districts highly conservative.
this year with the appearance In the
field Of q strong Fascist party under the
leadership Of Prince Starhemberg.
This party has threatened a dicta-
torShip II 1t attains power. It has q
powerful weapon In the military organ
ization Of the Heimwehr. Moreover,
1t Is represented in the present govern
ment, In which Starhemberg Is Min
lister Of the Interior. Indeed, 1t Is at
tempting something like the complete
suppression Of the point Of view Of the
Socialist party, its bitter opponents.
Fortunately for constitutional gov
eminent in Austria, however, the con-
sentative elements have by no means al
gone over to the Fascist position. The
so-called Christian Socialists, who are
neither particularly Christian nor par
ticularly Socialist, are only partially
sympathetic with the Fascists, and q
Center party has been formed under the
leadership Of former Chancellor Schober
which ought TO command considerable
influence.
From the point Of view Of interna-
tional politics, q Fascist regime might
do no particular harm, but from the
viewpoint Of internal politics its estab-
lishment In power would be dangerous
and might easily lead even to civil war.
Hence the elections Of November may
prove Of great importance.

The Federation Election.

The keen interest which the neigh
borhood associations throughout the
District take in the annual election OF
officers for the Federation Of Citizens
Associations is good thing for wash
ington.
The fact that there Is usually q
contest for the honor Of heading the
federation is healthy sign, not only
for the federation, but also for the
organized citizenship movement in the
community as q whole.
The neighborhood associations per-
form an important function by pro-
viding channel through which the
residents Of each section of the city
make known to the local authorities and
to Congress the particular needs and
problems Of their respective areas. The
federation performs an equally impor-
tant function by enabling the neigh
borhood groups to unite their efforts on
those civic problems which affect the
city as whole.
The contest for the presidency Of the
federation this year was between the
incumbent, DR.. George @. TIavenner,
and Charles I. Stengle. DR.. Havenner
was chosen for another term. The fact
that two candidates were placed in
nomination had the beneficial effect OF
stimulating greater interest. as evil
