THE EVENING 8 Tuurspay.. ais ‘GTO Star has # recular, permanent bona fide dally circulation more than that of any other daily paper pub- Mished In Washington, and equal to that of al the other daily papers here added Another valuable memb @ngounced his determination to refuse any further term of service in the House. Mr. James, of New York,—like Mr. Hewitt, of the same city, Mr. Collins, of Boston, Mr. Mitchell, of New Haven, and other active, practical men ‘who have tried to be of use in expediting legis- lation and become disgusted with the repeated defeats of their endeavors.—will not waste any more time in this line of effort. Notwithstand- ing the maxim “Never despair uf the Republic,” they can hardly be blamed for their reeaict- traney. A man owes something to hi country, but it fs also his duty to use his powers and talents to the best advantage, and this can be dene much more surely in private than In Public Iife now-a-days. A public career, in this country, ts not tempting to men of first-class ability and character, uniess they happen to be also particularly tond of polities; and evén then hey could generally accomplish much greater Fesults by remaining private citizens. The Fules of Congress must be reformed altogether before this unsatisfactory state of affairs ean be terminated. The changes in the rules last December were in the line of improvement; but the experience of the past eight months shows plainly enough that what is needed is not a mere tinkering of the present rules, but a brand-new set, constructed with a view to facMitate the transaction of business and to suppress the inevitable squad of filibusters, hafr- splitters and other obstructionists, who by some inscrutable dispensation of Providence find seats In every Congress. It was a fortunate thing for those on board the steamer Oregon, which was sunk off Fire Island some time ago, und the Labrador, which was on fire in New York bay last week, that both vessels were so near shore when the easualty occurred that the passengers and erew could be landed without loss of lite. Otherwise, there is reason to fear, all would have been lost. In spite of the whitewashing given by the British authorities to the officers DF the Oregon, all the world knows they were wholly unequal to their position when the crisis came, to say nothing of the criminal negligence which suffered the bulk-head doors tobe left open during the voyage, thus ren- @ering useless all the precautions that had been taken in the construction of the ship; ‘while In the case of the Labrador it looks very much as though her appliances for subduing the fire would have been wholly inadequate bad it broken out in mid-ocean, where outside belp could not have been rendered. What seems to be licking In ocean travel, and what 4s Very greatly needed, is security for passen- gers when steamers cunuot be run ashore. $< —___ The omission from the dispatch announe Ang the successful passage of a balloon from Cherbourg to London the other day of any Mention of the direction or force of the wind at the time leaves the value of the steering appa- Fatus employed a matter of some uncertainty. ‘The fact, however, that the trip was actually made between the intended terminal points is &n encouraging one in the solution of zrial Ravigation, and leads to the hope that at some day,not very far distant,existing obstacles to tts accomplishment may be overcome. Certainly that desideratum does not appear to be as im- Possible now, in the light of recent inventions nd discoveries, as the telegraph and half a ozen other every day affulrs of modern times would have been regarded had they been pro- Jected aud talked about less than a century ago. : Queen Victoria must be feeling pretty sick Just now,—to use a slang phrase—if royalty ever allows itself to feel that way. She signalized her approval of the sternly-virtuous and indig- pantly-eloquent manner in which Mr, Mat- thews, counsel for the crown, overhauled Sir Charles Dilke and denounced his relations with Mrs. Crawford, in the unsavory case lately on tial in London by creating the eminent law- Jere baronet and having him made Home Secretary; and now it turns out that a few years go he was himself corespondent in a notori- us divoree case, in which it was shown that his relations with a Mrs. Chetwynd werealmost identical with those lately existing between Dilke and Mrs. Crawford. ‘When the surface is scratched a little, the Engliab aristocracy show up as a very bad lot, and if the Queen wants to keep her fingers clear Of piteh she had better wash her hands of the ‘Whole crowd. Here and there a few virtuous exceptions may be found, but hardly enough, there is reason to fear, to quicken the rotten maaan, of Qongress has — Grimes against women are becoming disa- greeably frequent of late. Every day brings the ‘Bews of two or three assaults or murders, wiille Sdicides and duels iu the name of Love are mul- plying at ap alarming rate. The impelling motive in all these cases is too apt to be misun- derstood and misstated.” It may be pride, or vanity, or passion, or envy, or revenge, but it de never love, which is always and essentially Unselfish. The lesson of these crimes Is to warn us all of the terrible lengths to which one may be led by selflsuness, which Is at the bottom of ail the sin in this sinful world. $$$ It is announced that the gas company has made a report to the Secretary of the Interior, showing that it b rchased for the further Manufacture of gas 9,500 tons of coal,at a gross cust of about S40 But how about naphtha, or other forms ef coal oi! product?

Most of the important measures, concerning which there was until lately an apparently fatal disagreement, have been successfully car Wied through, and the few that have iailed for the present are iu a god position for becoming Suceessiul next winter.
