2 THE _EVENING STAR. WASHINGTO ently hopeless, to secure the means of munication with Virginia The Bnds occasion for rejoicing im the pletion of a creditabie bridge across tne Most important of the waterways which spirit of sympathy with the celebration, and the same success-assuring energy has been dis- played by citizens in celebrating the bridge, as in securing a Dridge to celebrate. ‘The free bridge across the Potomac, now secured, ‘Suould be the forerunner of a substitute, not dis- reditable to the District, for the shabby and dan- wer threatening Long bridge, and of another bridge, Substantial and ornamental, for people, not rail- Toads, to be thrown across the Potomac from the maincity. One of the most interesting features of this ses- sion of Congress is the political maneuvering in Telation to the territories seeking aduission to the Union, The Senate is now considering the repud- ican proposal for the admission of the southern half of Dakota, which is supported by a strong ar- ray of facts and arguments The democrats, who have made their policy a subject of caucus-rule, meet this with the demand for the admis- sion of Dakota as a whole, in connection ‘with Montana, Washington and New Mexico. ‘The partisan character which has been given to the controversy threatens to leave it as far from settiement at the end of the session as it was atthe begiuning. It ts certain, at any rate, that no new staves will be voted into being before the Presidential election. Besides this political ma- ‘euvering, other interesting discussions are going on, ‘The complaint is made in Idaho that the Stewart bill, permitting the citizens of North- em Idaho to vote whether they shall send delegates to the constitutional convention of the proposed state of Washington ignores the Fight of the whole territory to vote cn the ques- ‘ton of dismemberment, and it is charged that all ‘this is only preliminary to the execution of another design of Senator Stewart's to annex Southern Idaho to Nevada. Then, too, many pro- ‘Yeas to see in the plan for admitting New Mexico a deep scheme of the Mormons to capture a state, ‘and thus carry thetr “peculiar institution” of poly- ‘gamy from under the control of Congress. They are said to have obtained already a strong grip on the politics of New Mexico by the quiet migra. ‘Won of saints into that territory from Utab. Guileless patriots who fancy that the. business of state making involves merely a question of popu- lation and resources, would have theireyes opened Dy a visit to the Capitol while these subjects are Under discussion, and be astonisned to discover how many diverse interests will be affected by the @ecisions to be made. Ee — ‘Mr. Oates, in his formal statement of the reasons ‘Which impel a minority of the House of Represen- tatives to block the business of the House by fill- Dustering, lays special stress upon the unconstitu- tonality of the direct-tax bill In brief, he and ‘his handful of associates wish the country to dis- ‘tunctly understand that they are the defenders of ‘the Constitution against assault. Well, the coun- ‘ty has heard, and recurns its respectful thanks to ‘Mr. Oates and the rest. The country ts always ‘sgTateful to the defenders of the Constitution, and its gratitude is not lessened in the least by the cir- cumstance that there ts not a question which ever Fises to the dignity of a public issue, concerning ‘which both sides do not plant themselves on the Constitution, swear by it, and fight for it. But Mr. Oates, with his knowledge of law, is ‘aware that the House of Representatives is not @ judicial body, and has no authority to decide ‘whas is constitutional and what is not constitu- ‘Vonal im legislation. Its business is to enact laws for the government of the republic and vote sup- lies from the Treasury to enable these laws to be executed. If a lawis believed to be unconstitu- ‘tonal, it 1s the business of the courts to pass upon ‘the question. While, therefore, it is Mr. Oates’ Privilege, whenever he believes it to be his duty, to Utter aloud protest from his place in the House, ‘and prevent, by argument, If possible, the passage ‘of any measure which seems to violate the organic law, he hay no moral right to tie up Just and unjust legisiation allke, to throtie the business of tne whole people, for the mere sake of making his protest more emphatic. ‘Let him put himself distinctly on record, and then Telease the machinery todo its regular work. If ‘Congress passes an obnoxious bill over his head, and the President signs it, let Mr. Oates show his patriotism by clapping an injunction upon the Birst attempt that is made to carry out its pro- visions. This will bring the whole subject before ‘the judicial branch of the Government, where it Delorgs; and the Supreme Court, which alone has Power to do so, will quickly settle the constitu. ‘onal question involved. en ‘The protest against the passage by the Citizens’ Burabers the Citizens’ Committee 1s, therefore, pretty evenly divided on the matter in controversy, ‘and outside of that body and the local assoctations, conducted by its members there is no division tampering with the form of local government, and the Citwens’ Committee has injured itself and promises to injure the community by pressing the ‘proposition, ————. ‘The news which appears elsewhere in THE Star to-day, potuting to the hope that ex-enator Conkling may recover from his present illness, Wil be gladly read by thousands of persons, in- ‘cluding even those who condemn his political con- @uct, and his personal manner and bearing. No man has ever served his state in Washington for ‘the period that Mr. Conkiing did and quitted pub- Me live with cleaner hands His bitterest foes have no charges to make against his personal honor; and, since he returned to the practice of his profession, he has received maay flattering ‘Yestimontals in the court-room of the respect with ‘Which his brethren at the bar regard his legal abUlty anda reputation that bas goue through so many ferce fires unscorched. —— ‘The deetsion of the New York court of common Pleas, on appeal, that a sleeping-car company 18 Fesponsibie tos passenger for money stolen from ‘him, through any negligence of the company’s Servants, while he sleeps, shows that the y of the law fs still in the direction of a firmer ‘Yenauce of the rights of tue public as opposed to ‘he corporations. But there isa point to which ‘Unis principle ought to be carried, which the courts ean hardly reach, and the legislatures could well afford to give their attention to tt. Every ing-car company ought to be required by statute to provide safes for the valuables of its passengers. ‘Tae company charges hovel rates for Its services, ‘Why should tt not be compelied to give hotel nc- eommodations and insurance in return? —— ‘The objections to the District appropriation bili 4m tts provisions concerning tne teachers of the Public schools, which were recently considered In ‘Taw Stan, were discussed at the meeting of the ‘trustees last night. Embarrassment in the duty Of mliing the vacancy caused by the death ot Mr. Paul, arising frow te restrictions upon promotions ‘aad salaries contained in the bill, is found by the ‘trustees to furnish aa additional reason for modi. fying We proposed legislation.

We have been informed by truthful authority that at the occa- ston of reading the question arose WHAT IS THE PROPER MEANING OF ECONOMY? After several pupils expressed their opinion, three bright little giris held up their fingers, saying: “We ‘know best what economy is, because we heard mother and aunt sy #0." The teacher, being surprised at this emphatic remark, said: “Well children, what is it?” “GotoLANSBURGH & BKO.’S store, take the ele- ‘ator to the third door, buy a lot of Remnants of what you need only—this will certainly be the most sub- ‘stantial proof of economy! ‘The teacher bowed his head to the Golden Truth, and advanced the little Philosophers to the head of the class, ‘Thanks to the children for their juvenile frankness Thanks tothe mother who taught thom, and special ‘thanks to the public at large for their kind patronage.
