that he would Sen. J. Ham. Lewis
attend but with at least the idea
of reading a letter or telegram
from him to the audience. 1t
was with a great deal Of graft
fication therefore that the next
day he was able to show a wire
saying that the Senator would
be there.
The Senator presented a pleas.
ing picture as he mounted the ros.
trum bedecked in his usual sarto
rial perfection and all was quiet
and serene as the orator let loose
his barrage of words.
In the midst of the address,
however, a baby in the arms OF
its mother way back in the hall
began to cry Justify. The mother
attempted to shush it. Necks
were craned in the direction and
a great deal of disapproval Shone
on the faces of a number of per
sons. Senator Lewis suddenly
halted his speech and said:
Madam, let your child cry.
1t Is probably hungry and his
crying is much more important
than anything have to say"
OF course the audience went
head over heels for the jovial
Senator.

Constitution, James Madison ap-

Only Madison has been denied
a monument worthy of his name
and fame in the Federal City.
George Washington, Alexander
Hamilton and John Marshall have
been memorialized in bronze and
stone in the National Capital-and
in spite of his detractors at home
and his enemies abroad, Thomas
jefferson will soon be honored by
a memorial in appropriately close
proximity to the Lincoln Memo
rial.
But "the constructive states
man" among the Founders, who
has earned at the bar of history
the distinctive title of "The
Father of the Constitution, is
without a memorial in the city
which is the proud protector Of
the original of the Constitution.

Thousands upon thousands OF
visitors to Washington go to the
Library of Congress to see this

CANCELLATION

At the public hearing on the bill
to set up small-claimS court in
the District, Prof. John Broadway,
of Duke University, recited sew
eral cases as examples of what to
expect here if the court is set in
motion.
He told of a serving girl, who,
when it came spring, decided to
have one of her dresses brought
up to the prevailing mode of fash
ion. A dresSmaker promised to
fix the dress for 81. While she
was working on the dress, the
serving girl got a job in Atlantic
City for the summer and went
away.
On her return after the sum.
mer job was over she went to the
dressmaker to get her dress. By
this time it was fall and the fash
ion had changed again so her
dress was again out of the mode
and she refused to pay for it. The
dreSSmaker refused to give up the
dress. They came to Mr.. Broadway
with about IS witnesses.

And there are a dozen others in
the House capable of informing
its membership at any session Of
that body why Henry Clay was
voicing the verdict Of history
when he declared that jefferson
had more genius, while Madison
had more judgment and common
sense and that among all the
Founders and Fathers" Madison
was the broadest and most accu-
rate scholar.
Then, too, every true follower
Of Thomas jefferson knows how
close was the friendship between
him and Madison. Chief Justice
Hughes referred to this friendship
at the very outset of his eloquent
address in the old hall of the
House of Delegates at Richmond
several years ago. The occasion
was the unwilling of a bust to
Madison and the Chief Justice
said in part:

There is really no opposition in
either House of Congress to pro-
viding memorial to James Mad
ison in the Federal City. The fail.
ure to set up such a witness to the
nations gratitude for his life and
work appears to be a plain matter
of neglect now lasting for more
than a century.

of Karolyi. For, in the gloomy
cellars of the monastery, almost
every Hapsburg for the past 400
years rests in his or her dust
covered coffin. 1t is the most his
toric and tragic private crypt in
the world.
Much of the history of Europe is
buried here along with the bones
of the emperors and expresses and
princes and princelets of the Haps-
burg family. I know of no single
spot in all Europe which so grips
the imagination as this dusty, dim.

the royal dead. Over here, in one
large chamber, is the bronze COT

back the Turks centuries ago at
the gates of ConStantinople. One

of the Hapsburg archduke who
came nearer to defeating the great
Napoleon than any general OF his
nation.

In one of the simplest Of all

Up to the Senate

VrHE District subcommittee of the Senate Appropra-
lions Committee gets down to consideration of the
hodge podge which the House passed under the title
of the District appropriation bill for the fiscal year 1888
Upon the consideration which the subcommittee of
the Senate group gives the bill and upon its wisdom in
ironing out the irregularities which it contained when
it passed the House will depend the orderly operation
of the National Capital for the II months starting in
July.
In connection with the bill Senator Elmer Thomas, of
Oklahoma and his colleagues have two principal phases
for consideration.
One is the tangle of half baked legislation with which
the bill is cutered up after much had been thrown
out by the House.
The other is the extent of the appropriations pro-
vided in view of the Districts financial condition and
the wisdom with which those appropriations desig
mated for specific items.
The Senate group considering the bill is made up
largely of committee members who have had consider
able experience in handling the problems of the Ma
tional Capital.
It is made up, too in manner to bring about com
plete cooperation between the Appropriations Com
mttee and the Legislative Committee of the Senate
on the District of Columbia.
committee to determine the wisdom of the legislation
which has been ntruded upon the bill and to decide
whether any of it should be retained or all Of it be
discarded
Upon the care with which the Senate Committee acts
on the legislative provisions and the nsstence with
which the Senate whole backs up its committee will
depend the to the question: is THE DISTRICT
GOVERNMENT TO BE DEVELOPED THROUGH
ORDERLY LEGISLATIVE PROCESSES OR is IT'S
COURSE TO BE CHARTED THROUGH HAPHAZ-
ARD PROVISIONS OF BILLS WHICH SHOULD
BE DEVOTED ENTIRELY TO APPROPRIATIONS
AS to the detailed appropriation items in the bill
the quarrel over the legislative provisions has deprived
them of the thorough public consideration which they
deserve
The people of Washington given no chance to
consider them between the time the bill reported
by the House Committee and the time the was
rushed through the House.
The Senate has always proven backlog upon which
the District had to depend to remedy any inustlces of
appropriations which got through the House.
The same duty falls upon the Senate this year.
1t is to be hoped that Westinghouse will take adj
vantage of their opportunity and present to Senator
Thomas committee any recommendations and argu-
ments for revision of the House items.

At the same hearing, Senator
Pat McCarran raised a question.
One provision of the bill sets out
that corporations and partner
ships should not be allowed to file
suits without paying court costs,
although INDECENT persons might.
He was told by the witnesses
that it was poor mans bill AND
the drafterS thought a corpora
ton or a partnership ought to
have enough money to pay the
costs. Senator McCarran said it
was probably true about corpora
tions but a partnership might be
as poor as a single person. Said
he:
