THE EVEN WASHINGTON: FRIDAY ° Jani a3, 1888. Evening tar has a regular. permanent bona fide daily circulation mere than treble that of any other daily paper published in ‘ashington, and much greater than that efall the other daily papers here added together. : Advertisers, will serve their own purpose best, and at the same time greatly accommodate Tue Sta®. {f they will send fm before noon to-morrow their announcements for the extra larze edition of Saturtay’s paper, the forme Of which must be sent topress much earlier than on bo other tive days of the week. nt adorei Lovers of fish-food, and of the sport of gathering 1t tn, ary to be congratulated on the spirit shown Dy Concress in dealing with the Pish Commission, ‘The first bill which has got through both houses in the nearly-expired six weeks of the session pro- Vides for the appotntment of a salaried officer to presite over the commission, and the signature of the President 13 a8 good as assured. The work of ‘this Durean was kept up tothe highest mark for ‘eMtctency under Professor Baird, and, If Mr. Cleve land makes a wise choice of a commissioner, 1% ‘will continue to be one of the most thoroughly useful branches of the public service. Its bentf- cunt influence ts especially feit in the western and southwestern countrs, which Is mate more habit- able for ploneer settlers by having its streams stoeked without expense to the persons directly Denefited, wh» are generally too poor to undertake ‘the expense of transportation themselvea, This dissemination of food-tsh isin the nature of an improvement of the Government lands, I1ke plant. Ang timber trees or working wagon-roads, and Therefore no objection can be raised to the use of public money for it. At the same time {f Is conducted at a much leas expense than s similar enterprise of a private nature coutd be, because the railroads over which the fish-fry co are as directly interested in the work as the Government itself. They own lands which they sell in sections to settlers, and the proximity of these lands to well-stocked streams is an extra incentive to their purchase. The cost of railway service 1s therefore reduced toa minimum, and the ‘commission’s cars are attached to express trains ‘and given every facility for rapid travel, instead of being relegated to the fretght department, as tuey would be in the ordinary course of things, The passage of yesterday's Dill was the frst real recognition by Congress of the value of the work thus far done by the Fish Commission. It was, moreover, a handsome posthumous tribute to the patient and unselfish devotion of Prof. Baird to ‘he greatest task of his life. ———————— As the city of Washington grows in population, ‘weaith, apd all material attainments, develops 11s manifold attractions, and broadens and deepens 1s inBuence, in that proportion 13 the standing ‘of the District committees in Congress improved, and im thit proportion the tnterest and pride of those committees in thetr work Increase, It 1s 00 ‘staal matter to be one of a Very few men to whose hands ts virtually resigned the power of motding all legisiation for nearly a quarter miliion people, and of making the national capital worthy of the nation. So, starting from the level of Slight consideration there has been a continu- ons elevation of public regard tn respect to the District committees and the District ttselt; and from general neglect on the part of its legislators the point bas been reached where District affairs receive the faithful and interested consideration of some of the ablest men in Congress. But the best efforts of the District committees are frequently Fendered meffectual by the short time given to ‘Them in the full legislative bodies, especially in the House, and by the modest and self-distrustful Gisposition of some of the members when District affairs are discussed, which often Prevents a quorum at such times. From the present Concress the District, therefore, asks ad- ditional days for the consideration of its affairs, anda continuance of the intelligent labors in its behalf by the District committees and its other Trends in Congress, disregarding all discourage- ments and disappointments of the past. In the bright days which are in store for the District the people will remember with grateful apprectation the championship of its friends tn a time of need, and tn the present period of transition to full pros- pertty. 9 ‘There Is one feature of the Carlisie-Thobe con test case which has not received the attention tt deserves from the press. This ts the attempt to Grag into the discussion the entirely extraneous question of Mr Carlisie’s social position and fran- cial responsibility as opposed to Mr. Thobe’s umbler antecedents and comparative poverty. ‘These considerations have absolutely nothing to do With the controversy. It is absurd totry to use them as elements in the discussion, It is ‘Worse than absurd—it is wieked. It helps to widen the breach which already, unhappliy, exists be- ‘tween the rich aud the poor in politics. Mr. Car- lisle, moreover, i$ not a rich man, tn the ordinary aeceptation of that term. He did not buy his way to the piace which he now occupies tm the social {and political world, but won It by grace of intel- Jectual ability ana a reputation for uprightness, ‘The only question before the elections commit. Yee and the House ts whether Mr. Thobe received more votes than Mr. Carlisis, or fewer. If it can be shown that he received more he is entitled tow ‘Seat tu the House, and Mr. Carlisle ts not; and it 4s safe to say that, if this can be proved to the Satisfaction of Mr. Carlisle himsetf there 1s no member of Congress who will step more promptly to the front to see that Justice ts done to the con- testant, eo The suit of Capt. Join Tobin to obtain possess. Jon of eighty acres of land in the heart of Salt Lake city, and estimated at a Value of not less than one Rilition dollars exclusive of tmprovements, may be the entering wedge of a new and clever device for Settling the ever-bothersome Mormon question, If ‘2 dozen oF two other able-bodied elalmants could ‘De found, to rise up and demand the dispossession of the Mormoa occupants of the most valuable real estate in the city, life might be made so uncom. fortable for the defendants that they would be not only willing but anxious to emigrate, Sen.
