THE THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: TUESDAY -. January 15, 1899. CROSBY s. NOYES. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth mere than all the ether papers published ‘Those who profess to be the special friends of the District Commissioners have not justified their claims to be considered as such by at- tempting to suppress the investigation into the real estate purchases. Unless the disclosure of something in the conduct of some one of the Commissioners more damaging than has been Publicly charged and admitted is threatened by the proposed inquiry, an investigation sbould be weleomed by them since its re- sults can only show that, so far as the Commissioners are concerned, there is no ground of suspicion for wrong-doing be- yond that which may be involved in following the precedent of an injudicious and unbusiness-like method in purchasing real estate. By resisting the inquiry the particular friends of the Commissioners have fed sus- picion, and the action of the House in provid- ing for the examination is in one aspect a kindness to the Commissioners, assuming that no facts will be disclosed which have not al- ready been in general terms charged and ad- mitted. The weakness of the reasons urged against the investigation have been in striking contrast to the vigor of the effort to suppress it. Nothing could be more untrue, pitiful and absurd than the insinuation made on the floor of the House that the movement for an investigation has been the work, directly or indirectly, of liquor dealears who have been refused licenses. The Commissioners may have reason to bless the House for over- ruling their professed friends who, by sugges- ting contemptible and irrelevant untruths, urged inaction, and gave the impression that it would be more considerate of their welfare to leave them under a cloud. So faras facts have developed up to this time the inquiry is solely in the interest of the District taxpayer and of the national government, and judgment is to be passed upon a method, and not upon any charge of criminality against the Commission- ers, The latter admit that agents, or mid- diemen, have been employed in the pur- chase of sites for public buildings, and that payment of money to them by the District for their services would be illegal. The in- quiry will doubtless ascertain to a certainty whether the profits of this agent or middle- man can fairly be viewed, on the theory of the Commissioners, as “compensation de- rived from the vendor by the intermediary,” or whether they are paid by the District. Doubtless careful consideration will be given to the Commissioners’ theory that the District, which employs this agent for the avowed pur- pose of cutting down the profits of the seller, is paid for this service by the latter, though he does not agree to do so, is not aware that he is doing so, and has received no benefit for which he should pay, and though the amount of compensation which he is supposed to pay is not fixed by him, but by the Commissioners, in the shape of the difference between what he receives and what the District pays, without consultation with him. If it is decided that without a shadow of a doubt these agents have, in fact, drawn their compensation from the appropria- tion for District public building sites, and the Commissioners’ statement that such payments would be illegal, is accepted as correctly pre- senting the law, then the inquiry will nat- urally tend to discover how many thousands of dollars in the numerous purchases of recent years have been thus illegally paid from the District appropriations, and to ascertain whether the amounts thus paid cannot be re- covered, for the benefit of District taxpayers, including the national government. A correc- tion of the method, in making future pur- chases, may also be expected to follow. These public benefits which an investigation promises are quite independent of any question whether the Commissioners or any one of them acted worse than foolishly in the matter of the pur- chases, ———— The reappointment of Commissioner Webb by President Cleveland, if confirmed by the Senate, will give to the District for another term the services of the popular president of the present board. The fact that Mr. Webb was born in the District and has spent his life here has made him well acquainted with Dis- trict affairs, and his personal bearing has made him many friends. The very source of his personal popularity, his easy, accommodating. yielding disposition, so subject to social and friendly influences, has resulted in a vacillating. corporation-con- trolled official policy which furnishes the main ground of criticism concerning him as a Com- missioner. If Mr. Webb, with his pleasing personal manner and his acquaintance with District matters, were to exhibit greater firm- ness and decision and not mere suavity and complaisance, freeing himself in his official acts from the moulding of corporation influ- ence, of the interests of a single section of the city, of personal friendships, and of the urgen- cy of stronger-willed men, he would be a model Commissioner, oo Yesterday was moonshiners’ day in the House, and Mr. Cowles, of North Carolina, scored a great hit. Mr. Randall's pet measure, the re- Peal of internal revenue taxes, was, by a deci- sive vote, sent to the committee on appropria- tions, instead of the ways and means commit- tee, its legitimate reference, and where the bill introduced in duplicate by a dozen differ- ent members, has been sent only to be pigeon- holed indefinitely. The appropriations com- mittee is likely to make a prompt report in favor of the bill, when the fun will begin in the House. The republicans can hardly give it a party vote, as the tariff bill in the Senate is not predicated on Mr. Randall's proposition to free tobacco and whisky. Yet it was claimed for it yesterday that there was a majority of fifty in the House in favor of the Cowles bill. Asimilar bill freeing tobacco failed to excite such sanguine hopes of passage. = Sis a —— The intellectuals and morals of the electoral college were unclogged Yesterday, and the in- stitution graduated a precise result precisely as ‘Was expected two months ago. Gen. Harrison feceived the 233 votes of twenty states, Mr. Cleveland the 168 votes of eighteen states, and the former may now go into history as Pres dent of the United States. It is worth stopping to note that Gen. Harrison carried no southern state, while his opponent carried but two northern states. It is also interesting to ob- serve in passing that with the republican col- umn unchanged outside of New York, the ad- mission of three new states, as now would deprive the Empire state of rhs scr advantage in the next national convention, ———— ane aeaalias The choice of Anthony Higgins for Senator by the Delaware republicans relieves the result of all suspicion on the score of railroad in- fluences, aud confers honor on a worthy man, Mospay, Secu Sure or STAMPED Goops, {SP glo scrrs peat and @ sts, Prracry Crosrxe Saez IN OUR UPHOLSTERY DEPARTMENT.
