Evening Star Newspaper, January 22, 1889, Page 4

‘The vote in the House yesterday on the bill for a local post-office extends indefinitely the term of the nation’s disgrace and the capital’ fmeonvenience and annoyance in the existing conditions of the city’s postal service. For a time, the present rented quarters, pronounced by the health office unfit from the sanitary point of view for occupation, rickety, tumble- down, unsuitable in every respect, must be endured. For the future a tem- porary location, in an unsuitable struc- tare, and in an inconvenient, out-of-the way place, is promised in the Pension Building onthe north side of Judiciary Square. And the future presents slight hope of a creditable post-office building on purchased land at a con- venient point near the busines# center of the city until a radical change of heart has been experienced by the politicians who think that Washington, having no votes, presents a promis- ing field in which to win a reputation for economy, and by the contending owners of eligible post-office sites. The latter might be expected gradually to fall into line in the effort to get the measure into conference, and to make there a final effort to secure the selection of their property, giving to the District a post-office whichever of them was successful. All would have had a chance, and the District would win # needed public building no matter how the conference lottery went. But the opposition of the penny-squeezing legislator for Wash- ington is harder to meet. To save the money for a site he would place the building upon a reservation, choking with bricks and mortar, land donated for park purposes to the govern- ment, and violate a public trust in so doing. Considerations of honor no less than regard for the beauty and health of the capital should restrain the nation from diverting the parks from use in the manner intended. A location upon Judiciary Square is notonly objection- able in the respects already suggested, but it is not centrally and conveni- ently located. It was claimed in the House debate that with the carrier system con- venience of location is of small account, but that reasoning is not applied elsewhere than in Washington, and is of no force anywhere. An immense amount of business is done by citizens, and especially business men, at the post-office building outside of the carrier service. In an- other city of the size cf Washington the gov- ernment would buy a site at acentral point and erect a creditable building, and the sug- gestion that the existence of the carrier system made the location of the post-office a matter of no concern would be treated as absurd. The government is only asked to do at the capital what it does in other cities of the same size in the United States. Next to New York the Washington post-office handles a larger mail than any other in the republic. It serves a large city, and it serves the government. It is treated worse thanthe oftice in any town of ten thousand inhabitants in the land which con- tains voters in congressional elections. The situation is disgraceful to Congress and to the Ration. oo The desultory character of the debate in the Senate in the closing hours of the tariff discus- sion places the Senators who have conducted the consideration of the bill in an unpleasant plight. They are forced by their own long- windedness to vote on a large part of the bill without discussing it. If the House should find that part of the measure which the Sena- tors, as a collective body. adopt with their eyes shut, to be full of errors, the fact will go hard against them. If the three hours consumed in discussing silver and ita re- monetization as pertinent to the tariff, the many long hours the Senators employed in discussing the Canadian fisheries question, the ship-building interests and the training of seamen, to say nothing of the long digressions on the subjects of pauper immigration. strikes, lockouts, the Blair bill and negro colonization, had been employed on the tarff bill proper, the vote to-day might be taken with a greater degree of satisfaction. The people of Washington have come to mark the flight of the year by Miss Anthony's red shawl. New Years and the Fourth of July no longer divide the calendar, but the citizen of the capital dates his time from the regular yearly convention of Miss Anthony and her fol- lowers. As the householder unfolds his paper at 5 o'clock diuner he exclaims, “Helo! Mi Anthony's here, and spring is near at hand.” The meeting this year is, as all others have been, a symposium fit for Parnassus. The daily program prickles, sparkles, illuminates and ful- minates. There is something of everything bearing on the status and true rights of woman, Man in all his folly and meanness is done to death, wrapped in the red shawl and rolled ignominiously into the front pew to be dis- posed of after the meeting is over, the bonnets replaced and the handshakings completed. Wit and logic, contempt and persuasion, withering sarcasm and honeying supplication fill each session to overtiowing. The intellectuals of the ladies certainly enjoy unfailing good health, |- and are forever in good working order. They whip us with scorn, they brain us with the argumentum art hominem, Nevertheless Wash- ington has great regard for Miss Anthony and the brave, clear-headed women with her. They make an honest battle. They have won great victories and the future is full of promise. May they live long and meet here annually. ans “If there were no impending cataclysm abso- lutely certain to bring the present House of Representatives to an end on the fourth day of March—if the House, like the Sei could continue organized and in session until its legis- lative business should be finished —Mr. Weaver never would have thought of his deadlock. Its efficacy lay in the fact that he was able to destroy one of the twelve working weeks of the short session of Congress. What is wanted is, not an indignation meeting over Mr. Weaver. or a revision of the often-revised rules of the House, but a legislative systema which will not be irre. mediably knocked to pieces on every alternate fourth of March.”—N. Y. Nation. ~ Evidently the short session must share with the House rules, framed not merely jo protect minorities but to place Congress as @ jury at the mercy of a single obstinate member, the responsibility of encouraging effective dead- locks. The extension of the session to an in- auguration day on April 30th, instead of March 4th, would relieve the difficulty materially, and the provision of continuous sessions for the Hnse, as for the Senate, would go still farther in the direction of relief. And when to these changes a revision of the rules is added in the interest of the prosecution of the business of legislation, even when two or three members may prefer that nothing be done, the House HOES PORT sonny No Damaged Goods. No Humbug, but a bona fide effort to reduce stock REGARDLESS OF COST. ‘If you are needing SHOES and want a Genuine Bar- gain this is your chance, and it lasts two weeks only.

Weare making Window Shades to order with- out the use of @ nail or tack. Incredible, but It has remained for us to introduce the “Hartshorn Patent Shade Clasps” for making Window Shades. Enables a great deal more satisfactory running of the Shades, as there are no tacks or nails to come into contact with the spring within the roller. With this clasp in use, the shade may be run its entire length as often as desired with- out the least possible injury to the cloth, as the cloth is protected by the clasp. With this clasp we use the best spring rollers, and in our shades, which are made in our own workrooms by experienced workmen, we use only the best quality of Scotch Hollands, and hand-made Opaques. We guarantee every Shade to run lightly, readily, smoothly, and perfectly straight. We take measures and furnish esti- mates free of charge.
