Mrs. Tuft neservng the thanks, not
only of the oitizeDi of Wiisliiiigton,
lint of the entire country for the idua
she has rouoeivod of mating the Pu
totnio Park one ot the f union 8 esplan
ades of tin world. It is a beautiful
spot Hnd wherever the eye roita his
torical ground is seen. The rivor
sweeps one Hide of it mirroring the
Washington monument in its water
and with peuceful Arlington in clear
view on the hill opposite. .To the
east and north is the White house and
further eastward the domes of the
Capitol and the Library are plainly
visible. The president has given or
ders for the ereel ion of a handstand
and the concerts of the famons marine
band, to be given twice a week, will
make the park one of the most fre
quented plncos in Washington dnring
the ploawmt season, where the river s
banks will be 'hrongod with residents
and visitors. There is an abundance
of grounds for tennis courts, hasa bull
and polo grounds, and other outdoor
sports, and it is the hope of the presi
dent and Mrs Tatf that the esplanade
will become a great recreation ground,
similar to those which, make foreign
capitols so attractive, where the not'
ables of this country and tlio disti i
guished representatives of foreign
governments and other visitors may
see and be seeu. The president and
Mrs. Tuft propose to attend the open
lug concert, and as many more as
their duties will permit, and they do
serve all praise for this laudable
movement.
OREGON BRIEFLETS Oregon Progress
The clear and plain speech of Sena
tor Bailoy, of Texas, last week, in re
plying to (Senator Aldnch in the dis
cossion over the maimor ot making up
me arm mil, is a valuable contribu
tion to the tariff discussion. It not
only' is affair statement of the Demo
oratio attitudo hut is a warning that
opposition is on tho look out. The
best and surest way to bring out tho
truth in this tariff legislation is con
stant vigilance and courageous speech
on the part the opposition, and Sena
tor Bailey can dovoto his talents to no
(letter cause.
It is reported that the ;new $3,000,
000, offloo building of the houso of
representatives is overrun with mice,
attracted there by thousands of pack
ages oi garnon seens winch many
members have had sent to tboir rooms
in the ofhee building. Doubtloiw this
is the cause of much more serious
concern to the many women employes,
teuograplinrs and clerks, than is the
prospect of an increase in the price of
ieminino wearing apparel proposed by
ine -ayue t irirr hill.

uouunoss ine majority or tne con
sumers will asree with Champ Olark
that it is bettor tho business interests
of the country, for which Speaker
cannon biiowh such extreme solid
tudo, should go on losing a few hun
dred thousands of dollars a day while
oongress is dobatiug the tariff bill
than that the consumers should go on
losing millions a your bocuuso of the
continuation of extortionate duties.

question. Whether it is better to cut

Wise said:
"The present law Is not enforced.
Nobody claims that It Is, and it has
been demonstrated that It cannot be
enforced: The new bill Is a com
promise, I admit, but the Indications
are that it will be generally obeyed.
I believe this measure Is a step ,Jor

hope It will become a law."
