4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: CROSBY 8S. NOYES.. 2 EVENING STAR has tne fullest Local fm Washington. ‘The attempt has been made by one or two outside newspapers to construe the charge against the Commissioners of injudicious and legally unauthorized methods of purchasing District building sites, by which the District has suffered pecuniary loss, into a partisan attack upon President Cleveland. The Presi- dent has not as yet incurred any responsibility in the matter. He has not known until recently of the methods empioyed,and has taken noaction as yet which can be viewed as an indorsement of them. either direct or indirect. The question is not a partisan one in any aspect. The two Commissioners personally concerned in the purchase of the school-house and police-station sites and the two agents employed by them are equally divided between the two parties. The provision of the District appropriation bill changing the objectionable method of pur- @hase was carried in the House without any division on party lines. The House District committee unanimously reported favorably the resolution proposing that the matter be inves- tigated. This resolution was introduced by a democrat, and the most persistent effort to suppress it has been made by a democrat. ‘The question is purely a business one,“affecting the pocket-books of the taxpayers, including the national government. Have the District Com- missioners, by an unwise and title-clouding method of purchasing building sites, paid Dis- tri@ money illegally, and, in instances, un- necessarily and extravagantly to certain mid- dlemen and agents, the principal one of whom is aconnection of one of the Commissioners? If they have, cannot the money thus illegally paid in the past be recovered for the benefit of the individual taxpayers and the national gov- ernment, and cannot the objectionable method of purchase be prohibited for the future? $a ‘The quick relapse of the House into a state of filibustering imbecility yesterday augurs ill for the dispatch of business during the forty- four working days left in this session. With over 14,000 bills introduced, and at least a score of measures of pressing importance out- side of the regular appropriation bills and tariff legislation, not a moment should be lost. Under the rules it is still possible for a hand- ful of members to block the work of the House, and paralyze all effort at organized and systematic conduct of business. Sooner or later some decisive change must be made. Filibustering is quite as likely to be under- taken by members on the majority side of the chamber asthe other. It isa course open to the caprice or spite of any good parliamentary tactician. So wide a door should notbe left open in such a heterogeneous body of legisla- tors. The curiosity of a continent is satisfied by the confessed identity of the author of the Murchison letter. The name was genuine, the motive for the letter honest, although trifling, and there was neither connivance nor collusion before the fact. All that was done up to the receipt of Lord Sackville’s letter by Mr. Murchison Osgoodby was innocent. After that there was a breach of courtesy and good faith, and it can be justified only on grounds familiar ‘to practical hard-headed politicians who are not prevented by scruples from hitting ahead or making a point wherever théy see a good chance for either. Notwithstanding the before-election intimations to that effect it is not believed that the administration will bring Mr. Osgoodby to trial for treasonable practices under the Revised Statutes. Treason to Sack- ville is not legally punishable. —————— The disturbance in Hayti assumes an alarm- ing phase and one that may involve the United States in further unfriendly discussions with France and Germany. Those powers are ar- rayed in the Black Republic, as they usually are everywhere, on opposite sides, and their diplomatic representatives have succeeded in fostering a revolution that has completely con- vulsed the island. The Legitime government is now threatened with overthrow, and the disciplined army of Hippolyte is within twenty miles of Port-au-Prince, inspired by victory and wholly fearless of Legitime’s ships in the harbor. The real trouble in Hayti is that her government is a republic only in form and the power of her president is virtually despotic. The population, divided on the race prejudice between blacks and mulattoes, is incapable of self-government and semi-barbarous. Presi- dents come into power at the head of little ri- diculously-equipped armies and go out as often as otherwise at the end of a drumhead court- martial, shot astride their own coffins. Foreign intervention is invited by the situation, and in that the United States has a very decided in- terest. —— The various Senatorial contests are still under headway, but the contestants are able to report progress. In Delaware the anomaly is presented of a granger candidate getting the lead. In Minnesota the over-confident Wash- burn men have been beaten on the election of a speaker in the legislature, and Senator Sabin says he has his opponent onthe run. In West Virginia the situation is still foggy but slowly clearing. $$$ oe Among the journalistic changes of the week has been that of the Sunday Capital, which has been sold by Mr. Edmund Hudson to Messrs, Wade, Jenks & Appo, who have been hereto- fore actively associated with the paper. The Capital has always had a readable flavor of in- dividuality, and the new proprietors announce their purpose to continue it on the same lines, << In the list of successive originators of the expression “Public office is a public trust,” which stretches already back to 1790, the N. Y. Sun omits to mention Rutherford B. Hayes, who said: “Public office isa trust.” The Sun surely would not do less than equal and exact justice to anyone, least of all to ex-President Hayes, in a matter of such importance, $$ ‘The Boston Herald denies the story that it has become or is to becomea republican organ. The drift of the age is away from organship and toward independence in journalism, andso successful an independent newspaper as the Heraid is not likely to attempt to sail against ‘the current or to reverse it. ment for distribution in the Orient. ——————— Indiana is awake to the necessity of purify- ing its election methods.
