Ne Paper on Thursday. as Thursday is a legal holiday, Tus Evexrve ‘Stam Will not be issued that day. Those desiring aumouncements to reach the public ere before Fri- Gay evening should therefore send thom in for ‘tomorrow's paper,—and the earlier the better, as ‘that edition will be unusually large and widely — -- that when the railroad question was District committee two years ago the of the Pennsyivanta road, of his own expressed to the chairman of the com- Willingness to sink the B. and P. laryiand and Virginia avenues, Six Jeast, it is said, can thus be bridged left wholly unobstructed. The acqui- ‘of the railroads in any of the suggested of relief is a positive gain. That the problem which, while freeing the all the most serious evils of railroad Promises to command the strongest elements of support and to obtain the approbation of Congress is the one to be favored by the peopie of Washington. Tne location of the unton depot ‘at the intersection of Maryland and Virginia ave- nies, with « depression of the tracks on these afenues, seems to receive the strongest backing at present, and it would probably be accepted as a ‘Welcome change from presen. conditions even by Southwest Washington. Whatever one’s individ- ual preferences for other routes and sites may be it ‘Will be well for citizens generally, including the Cit- szeng’ Committee, to hold themselves in readiness to sustain that plan which from the favor with which it 19 recetved by the majority of citizens, the pulRu ‘from present railroad evils would be in sight. But itthet harmony is unattainable the next best thing 1s to antagonize disfavored pians with as Uttle bitterness as possibie, and to express a Willingness within certain mits to abide ‘by whatever plan of relief Congress after due consideration may adopt. Hitherto members of Congress have shifted the responsibility for the failure of measures to remedy the railroad evil ‘upon the confusing wrangles and contradictions of ‘those who represented or assumed to represent the people of Washington. Can we not remove, at Yeast 90 tar as the railroad grievance is concerned, all foundation for this excuse of failure to perform 8 piaia legislative duty? oe In the recent playful interchange of epithets ba. ‘tween our New York cotemporaries the Sun w: distinguished as “Br'er Mfanias” Watving the question whether the Sun fairly earned this ttle by its efforts in the late political campaign, it may be asserted unhesitatingly that the paper bas ® Washington contributor who does his best to entitle it tothe Ananias reputation. This budding Munchansen has tried his hand and malice np0n the District Commissioners chosen from this city. Commissioner Webb, he says, was chief of police under President Lincoln, but was “forced wore. sign by the then Board of Police, and it was charged that he was guilty of smuggling contraband goods through the Union lines to ald and comfort the enemy.” Commissioner Wheatley 48 exposed as. a member, during the war, of “one Of the numerous bands of freebooters that were a terror to unarmed residents of Virginia, Who were supposed to entertain sentiments favorable to the Upion cause.” After this bold plunge the Sun’s coutributor has no difficuity in making it clear that smuggler Webd and freebooter Wheatley have been illegally collecting $100 apiece from gambling houses and houses of ill-repute 48 compensation for the privilege of selling liquor without a license, and, in substance, that the smuggler and freebooter aforesaid, are infernal Fascals When they grant licenses and diabolical scoundrels When they refuse them. Tnese calum- nies bear upon their faces the evidence of their own tusity. However well intentioned, they hardiy help to justify the title “Br'er Ananias.” ‘The lie of the original Ananias was so cunningiy fabricated that divine light was required for Its Gevection; and that easy, felicitous faisifier Would doubtless be ashamed to have lis name suggested 4m connection with the clumsy, palpable false. boods of this bungling Munchausen, ——— ‘The condition of the stock market seems to be hopeful. As the time comes for Congress to meet there is usually a feverish uneasiness owing to the Uncertainty that attends congressional action on ket. But two things now tend to produce any un- quiet and these are the Pacific Railroad question and the surplus. Both are likely to be passed upon im some form of action and as Con- gress has led up to the probable work of the coming session by thorough !nves. gation and atecussion on the former of these questions little anxiety need be felt on that score. Something sonst be done about the surplus, and if no violent Feaction takes piace in public opinion between now and the reassembling of Congress after the oliday recess that question also 1s likely to be disposed of wisely and safely to the business m Uerests of the country. The railroads are earnirig’ far more this fall than ordinarily, pros. perity % apparent all over tne land; and signs are all good for a busy, progressive wis.- ‘ter.

The terrivie disaster in the English channel, a Thoroughfare where there are so many vessels passing and repassing that lossof life noed never, Under ordinary circumstances, be great, is due again to that fatal aeylizence, want of boats, Two undred and ten passengers and crew had but two ‘boats that were avuilabie.
