The Union Station Electric Trackage.
In consequence of a peculiar combination
of circumstances there Is a distinct prospect
that when the new union station is finished
In this city the traveling public win be
compelled to walk for some distance In
order to reach the street cars from the
trains and vice versa. If this occurs It
?will be the result of an unpardonable tan
gling of the legislative machinery. A bill
for the realignment of the underground
electric tracks to adjust to the new ter
minal arrangemunts was prepared In ample
time, but was held up In the Senate sub
committee for some mysterious reason for
many weeks. When It emerged It bore a
tax amendment of an extraordinary charac
ter. Without a hearing that bill, thus
amended, was rushed Into the Senate. The
original trackage bill was then reintroduced
and the tax amendment was promptly of
fered to It. but on Tuesday it was rejected
by a decisive majority, leaving the trackage
bill intact and pending Now it appears
that thero Is little chance of securing the
passage of the trackage bill at this session.
Yesterday In the Senate the proposition
was made In the form of an amendment
to the sundry civil bill that the traction
companies lay temporary overhead tracks
to the station along routes prescribed by
the Commissioners. Against such a propo
sition the public will emphatically protest.
There Is no reason why Congress cannot
and should not at this session pass a bill
giving the traction companies the right
and commanding them to lay permanent
underground conduit tracks. Washington
has thus far kept free of overhead trolleys
and wants none of them. It fears that
temporary poles and wires may linger In
the air for a long time after the urgent
necessity for them?conceding that such
necessity exists?has passed. If Congress
cannot pass the permanent trackage bill
at this session there la no assurance that
It will do so at the next session.
Yeaterday. In withdrawing an amendment
for temporary tracks already adopted. Sen
ator Gallinger said that the traveling pub
lic In Washington might walk- after the
union station Is completed. It will prefer to
walk If the alternative Is the erection of
a maze of trolley poles and wires In the
vicinity of the terminal, even though they
are styled "temporary." Congress should
not evade Its responsibility In this case
by such a device, and It Is to be hoped
that If there Is any legislation at all on the
nubjeot at this session It will prescribe the
permanent routes and require the under
ground construction.
As for the tax proposition which has
caused all this muddle, it Is a thing entirely
apart from the terminal trackage question.
If there Is a belief that the public service
corporations In the District are not paying
a fair tax that belief should be put into
the form of a separate bill and considered
on its own merits and with due delibera
tion. and with an opportunity for both
the corporations and the public to be heard
at length. It should never have been fas
tened upon a measure which was designed
to execute a necessary stroke of legisla
tion for the public convenience.
Make the Packers Pay the Cost.
One of the arguments brought against
the assessment of the cost of meat Inspec
tion upon the packers was that this process
wr..uld deprive Congress of the right to raise
revenue and to direct the appropriation ot
funds. It was this argument, according to
present understanding, which persuaded
the President to agree to the compromise
which was finally adopted by the House. It
Is not. howover, supremely convincing. II
ttao House of Representatives wants to
have a hand In the allotment of the funds,
why should It not agree to a provision
which accumulates a fund by the assess
ment of a fixed sum upon each packing
house In proportion to the number of food
animals killed and then appropriate so
much of that fund as may be necessary to
maintain an inspection service of a certain
also and scope? There Is no need to rele
gate the powers of appropriation or assess
ment to the Secretary of Agriculture That
13 not the issue in the case. The prime
question is whether the packers should pay
for the inspection. The public thinks they
nhould. The packers think otherwise. The
public believes that th? packers would not
suffer, but would shift the burden upon the
coi sumer. It Is willing to bear this burden
as a guarantee of the continuance of a
high standard of Inspection service. The
packers ought to pay the cost of the In
spection themselves. That Inspection will
serve eventually as a valuable advertise
ment "Inspected and Approved by the
V. S. Government" on the labels, with the
public ussured that the Inspection Is thor
ough and honest, will attest to the purity
and w holesomeness of the goods. The
packers ought to l>e glad of the chance to
pay for such an Indorsement.
It Is not too late for the Senate to insist
upon the change of the bill to this effect.
Tim suggestion of Gen. Trepoff as the
new Russian premier Is calculated to allay
Ruanlan excitement somewhat like the ap
plication of gasoline to a lively blase.

ing as dangerous as the unloaded gun.
A few games won on the home grounds,
and all will be forgiven the Nationals.
Bryan and Stevenson.
If It is to be Bryan again why not the
old Ucket? Bryan and Stevenson made a
good team in 1UUU. and ran as well as was
tj be expected. That was not a democratic
year McKlnley's re-election was a fore
go lie conclusion. The country had pros
pered under the republican administration,
and no reason existed for a change. Mr.
Bryan held his crowd fairly well together,
and iir. Stevenson gave dignity and a sort
of conservatism to the ticket.
The problem at Kansas < *lty In lKUO with
rispect to the vice presidency was not a
little embarrassing. Some democrats as
cribed the defeat of Mr Bryan In 1386 to
t its blunder made that year tn the matter
of clooslng his running-mate. Mr. Scwell
was by no means a happy selection. In
tii* territ(7ry where he resided the democ
racy was absolutely without hope, and in
the west and middle states, where the bat
tte "vas to be fought, he was not only un
known. but It soon proved to be impossible
t j introduce him favorably. A rich New
Knglander of l.trge business connections
sewiied wholly out of place on a ticket
appealing for votfs on a platform calling
for 1'ree silver. And then the tall which tno
populists Inflisred ? n tying to the kite still
further compltcate l the situation.
At Kc.n*as City all this wu canvas^d
wltli concern, crul when Mr. Stevenson x |
name was suggested In the preliminary
conferences It awakened something like en
thusiasm. He had at one time been a
sreen backer and had served In the House:
then as first assistant postmaster general
had won warm praise from the rank ana
tile of his party bjr the energy with whlcti
he had decapitated republican postmasters,
and then as Vice President had shown him
self able to get along with as~ difficult a ,
proposition as Mr. Cleveland. Here un
doubtedly was the man, an&Hi^ was taken.
Mr. Bryan was pleased, the par^y applaud
ed. and Mr. Stevenson's participation In the
campaign was characterised toy dignity and
good feeling. Nobody could have strength
ened Mr. Bryan as running-mate to the
point of success.
In the Parker campaign Mr. Stevenson,
as always, was loyal to his party. Since
then he has gone his way without Indulg
ing In any replnlngs or reproaches. Me
seems to touoh elbows with both factions.
The Bryanltes In 1900 did not bring up his
connection with Mr. Cleveland to his dis
advantage, and the Clevelandltes at this
late day might, if they are Inclined to a
compromise, very well accept him as the
man for second place. As a native of Ken
tucky, he has his claims upon the south,
and as a resident of Illinois his claims
upon the middle states and the northwest.
If Bryan, why not 8tevenson again?
The President's Traveling Expenses.
It seerne likely that Congress will at i.hls
session enact a law, possibly a separate
measure and possibly In the form of an
amendment to the sundry civil appropria
te bill, granting an annual allowance for
the payment of the railroad fares of the
President and his personal parties when
ever he goes traveling.'0 At present the
pioposed appropriation stands at ?25,000.
This sum Is entirely too small. It should
at least be doubled, and the Senate should
so amend the amendment to the appropria
tion bill which It has already adopted, or
the separate bill which yesterday passed
the House.
In the course of his term of office the
President of the United States Is required
In the public Interest to take many long
trips. Some of these Journeys carry him
entirely across the continent. If he travels
In dignified stato, not with the ostentation
of a potentate, but with the proper coin
fort of the American chief executive, one
o' these trans-continental trlpa may easily
cost more than the entire sum which it Is
now proposed to provide for an entire year s
traveling. Indeed, the Pacific coast trip
of President Roosevelt. It is estimated, cost
fully JBO.OUO, and yet there was no ex
travagance.
Congress should supply the President with
every facility for going about freely and
seeing ail parts of the country, and it
should not cause him, through Its penuri
ous doling out of the funds, to go Into his
own pocket In order to meet his expenses.
The salary paid to him Is ridiculously email,
considering the exactions and the responsi
bilities of his office. When he travels he
must toe accompanied by a sufficient num
ber of people to enable him to transact
the public business on hte route. He can
not go about like the average citizen, with
grip in hand and without attendants. He
must be safeguarded from the over-curious
and the Intrusive. His trips are necessarily
more expensive than those of other people.
With the appropriation standing at *#,
000 the President will travel less than he
should, or he will be forced to go Into his
own pocket or accept favors from the rail
roads. however disguised they may be.
None of these three results Is desirable or
necessary. The country Is surely rich
enough to provide liberally for tile golngfl
and comings of Its executive and to give
his travels "the dignity and comferts which
the office demands.
The Houae.
The House did well to reject the proposi
tion tq lengthen the term of members of
that body to four years. It Is an excellent
thing to have frequent accountings from
the popular branch of Congress, which has
so powerful a voice In questions of taxa
tion and In matters of expenditures. Let
us continue to hear from the brethren as at
present. If they do not please us, or for
any reason fall short duty, new men
better disposed and more firmly Instructed
can be substituted. Th? point that we have
too many elections Is not well taken so far
as national contests are concerned. It Is
best to keep the pool well stirred. The
trouble is not with the number, but with
the character of our elections. Voters
should keep their minds on public affairs
and their eyes on public servants,
and at every election turn out In force and
Insist on a square deal and a fair count.
In no other way can we hope for the Im
provement in the body politic that many
recent disclosures have shown to be abso
lutely necessary.

How times change. Here Is the Senate,
long an opponent of closure, holding out
for the dating of the labels on the meat
cans in order to hasten consumption.
The passage of the pure food bill ought
to be easier now that Congress knows
something about the meat packing meth
ods.

Open Hospital Windows.
Another death at one of the local hos
pitals. caused by the tack of bars at the
windows of the wards, brings to the atten
tion of the authorities once more the ur
gent necessity of adopting precautions
against this useless waste of life. It Is a
striking fact that the hospital in question
has been the scene of several such trage
dies. and the suggestion has been broachcd
that the discipline there is lax or the meth
ods Inadequate. Whatever the facts as to
the efficiency of administration, the truth
remains plain that several patients have
either fallen or Jumped from open windows
In the absence o< nurses and have been
killed.
If the windows of a hospital are to be
left open and unbarred It should rigidly be
required that there should be an attendant
always on guard In every room whete pa
tients are lying. It has been objected that
bars at the windows cause a hospital to
look like an asylum or a prison. A hos
pital Is In fact little else than an asylum
or a prison for the protection of human
beings from the consequences of possible
dementia or physical weakness. Every pa
tient In * hospital Is potentially Incapable
of mIt-etn. Any patient may St My time
develop an unexpected strain of Illusion.
No physician can confidently forecast the
turn of every disease, especially when the
patient is In (trance surroundings.
If the windows are barred, however
lightly, there need be no fear of * tragedy
and wards and separate rooms can be left
without attendance In safety. But without i
bars or screens at soma kind every ward
or room in the hospital becomes the pos
sible scene of a fatality. There 1s no
doubting that feet. especially In the face
of the shocking record of tragedies which
are attributable to the open hospital win
dow In this city.
The story of Mrs. Minor Morris' treat

Wealth by Special Privileges.
From tbe Chloaxo News.
There are many men who have acquired
riches honestly, and it Is but fair that all
should have opportunities to do so. That
wealth in Itself is now regarded with so
much suspicion and even hatred Indicates
an unwholesome frame of mind, and for
ths conditions that produce it the people
themselves are to a certain extent to
blame. The millionaire who has acquired
his wealth honestly and by his own ef
forts is no enemy of the public welfare.
Quite the contrary. It is the millionaire
who has gained his fortune through the
enjoyment of special privileges In the
form of illegitimate favors whose Influence
is to be feared. Let the people insist
that special privileges be wiped out, that
all business be conducted In a lawful man
ner, and that equal opportunities be pro
vided for all. In conditions where every
man must work his way forward openly
and by fair means there would be no occa
sion for the prejudice which now bulks all
wealth together as evil.
Kentucky's Sons and Daughters.
From the Springfield (Hail.) Republican.
We are apt to consider New England as
pre-eminently the region that people go
from, and some of these New England
states at times have appeared to be scarce
ly more than breeding grounds for stalwart
men and women destined to Inhabit and
build up other parts of the land. Old home
week In Kentucky reminds one how "true
It Is that an Intense migratory movement
has steadily gone on even In the middle
west for several generations. The roving
| disposition of the Lincoln and Davis fam
ilies is an Illustration of early tendencies In
this direction; the first settlers of the west
and southwest, or their children, were ever
on the move, pushing onward to new and.
If possible, more fertile lands. In later
times there has been the same fluidity of
population, so that today, it Is said, Ken
tucky has 600,000 of her children dwelling
outside her borders.
Grammar of the Home.
From tbe Philadelphia Ledger.
In many families the education of the
children is committed almost exclusively to
the schools, and this sufficiently accounts
for the atrocious errors of speech often
noted in circles where we might expect
better things. It matters not how faithful
the teacher may be, the child will inevita
bly imitate the language heard at home and
forget the Instruction of the school. When
the child hears Incorrect language In the
family and imbibes it freely from vicious
books he Is probably going to speak un
grammatically as long as he lives. A
writer on tbe educational process says that
the years from eight to twelve constitute
the habit-forming period. "This is the time
to break the human colt. <n some sense the
wildest of all animals." Errors in the use
of the mother tongue ridopted during this
time are difficult to correct
Barnes and the Airship.
From the Hrouklyu Eajcle.
About the time that an airship constructed
according to his plans was successfully nav
igating Its way over Washington recently,
disturbing Congress and annoying Mr.
Barnes, who has charge of the White House
grounds. Mr. A. Roy Knabenshue came to
grief in another airship In the city of Buf
falo. Knabenshue'a mishap seems to have
been due to his inability to make his ship
stand up against a stiff puff of wind that
blew it against the side of a brick building,
causing a temporary collapse.
