THE ir.SIOX TICKET.
Tlie (k'chii'alioii of Mriu'.st S. Ran¬ dall that he- will run on a fusion ticket for Siiiicrvi.sor is a tlisap- pointnu'iin t<> his friends. They realize that Mr. Handall is being used us a forlorn hope of the Deiii- ocralic parly, whicii recognizes tlie futility of naming a candidate from their o'wii parly, and they are en¬ dorsing Mr. Handall in the hope that he nuiy win enough Hepubli¬ can voles to carry him through. If there was any ciiancc of Dciiiocra- tic success there is absolutely no doubt that a number of Democratic patriots would bc ready fo serve their lown, but with no iiopes of 'winning willi tluii' own (larly voles they Ciisl about lo lind a "Hcfonu" candidate, and Mr. Handiili has un- V'ittiiigly played ri^tit into their hands.
The fusion or "Hefnriii" platform, •which Mr. Handall iiileiids lo run his campaign on, is the same old story. Hi'fDi'in is all rij^iit, but re- foi'iiiers arc always iinpractlcal, iind while spendin,!< iiuicii lime .and large iimotints of money to curiect small evils, they allow the large matters to run wild. Fioiii liie time ol Mayor Shout;, with his ad¬ mirable cabinet in New York City, UJ) to the present time, neail.x every reform movement has been a fail¬ ure, ils principal aim being lo get snme luiblicily loving agitators in¬ to the liihelglit.
As to mei'ils of .Supervisor Smith nnd Mr. Handail for the olbce, there is no (o.iestion. The present .Super¬ visor has had the experience, has ])roven a pnigressive, yet careful of¬ ficial, and lie wiil doubtless Imve a Mite in Ihc coming election tltal will lie a strong ciKJoi'scmcnt of his arl- ininistralion.

During the last week of Congress, legislative pressure was at fever heat in order lo dispose of accumu- one the prohibition bill for the Di.s- laled bills.
Two measures of uiitisuaj impor- liince were jiassed bv flie House; Irict of Columbia: the other, a bill granting aiilhorily to fhe President to arm nicrcliant shijis. The jiro- hibifion bill, which abolishes sa¬ loons and bars in Ihe National Cap¬ ital was passed by a vote of 273 for to 137 againsl. ,My vote was re- ciu'dcd in favor of the measure.
On Thursday the bill authorizing fhe President lo place government guns and amtnunition on merchant shijis and providing for protection to .-\merican citizens on fhe high seas was passed bv a vote of 103 fo 13. The opposition which had af first assumed large proportions gradually disappeared under the plea of patriotism and fhe desire to

Coii.sii'ess from day to day listens to mnny plans for the establishment of world peace and tbe prevention of wars m the near future. Many of the plaahs are very attractive but their aocomplishment Ia more than doubt¬ ful. George Washington, who had experienced the horrors of war for seven yenrs at the head of an army half starved and poorly equipped. In a message to Congress said: "If wc desire to secure peace, it must be known that we are at all times pre¬ pared for war."
""Washington was no militarist but he waa a patriot and believed the United States was to fill an Import- Ant place among tho nations of the world. In order properly to flll that place, the country., he felt, must be prepared at all times to maintain Its rights. His vision never Included a world peace.
