Tur Star has repeatedly called attention to the objections to Judiciary square as the site of the post-office, and especially to the pension building situated in the end of that square most distant from the business center of the city. Jf more suitable temporary quarters than those now Occupied cannot be rented, Washington will be able to endure for a few months longer the long-felt discomforts of the worst post-oftice ac- commodations in the country. When Congress convenes the arguments for immediate action to provide permanent relief for the evils of the situation will be stronger than ever, and the capital should be able to secure the purchase by the United States of a site near the business center and convenient of access to the public, and the erection thereon of a creditable post- office building for Washington. Even if the pension building offered. as it does not, a con- siderable improvement upon present condi- tions, it would not be wise for the sake of par- tial and temporary relief to injure the chances of obtaining a permanent and satisfactory pro- ptions, vision from the C: ss which will soon as- semble. ng) ——— 0 a Next to taking charge of matters in himself, Bismarck would be pleased with a ing of responsibility for the conduct of the Samoans upon Americans. Germany's inter- ference in affairs there has been resented. If he can get the American government to inter- fere a point will be gained and a precedent established. The United States should not take the responsibility of insisting that any particu- lar man be received by the Samoans as king, even though one of the claimants be the old king whom Germany dethroned. This king will be rightfully restored to his people. and reparation, inste 4 of a pardon, is due to him from Germany; but the Samoans should say for | themselves which of the candidates they prefer | asruler. If Germany, in addition to getting indemnity for soldiers killed by the Samoans in self-defense, can put the United States in the attitude of selecting a king for Samoa she will gain the diplomatic victory, for the Ameri- can contention has been that the Samoans should decide such questions for themselves. — +$ The Pennsylvania courts are called upon to ecide whether electricity is an object of ufacture in the sense which would absolve the electric plants of certain corporations in that state from those taxes which are remitted to manufacturing companies. It is a nice qnes- tion, when we consider the peculiar constitu- tion of the fluid. Itthe doubt to be solved was whether a majority of the stories told about electricity and electricians were manu- factured, 1t would pot require the testimony of experts to procure an affirmative answer.

There is no risk in assuming that the noted traveler, hav- ing seen the rest of the world and Washington, also, has reached the same condition of content that Mrs. Raggles did when she compared the cold but much vaunted charms of the Apollo Belvidere with the roseate, palpitating beauty of her own Raggles., $< If the body found in the Chicago sewer is hat of Dr. Cronin it should be possible to ob- tain some valuable information concerning the manner of his death from those persons who have industriously coined and circulated false information concerning his appearance and acts since the date when he vanished. The re- sult of their efforts has been, if Dr. Cronin is dead, to mislead the police and conceal crime, and it may be assumed that they had some good reason for shielding the murderers. Ex- planations from them are in order. $$ o-—______ Mach joy is said to be felt by strict Sabba- tarians over the news that the American de- partment at the Paris world’s fair is to be kept closed on Sundays. But, by way of temp- ering this effusion, it might be well to inquire where the people who have charge of the de- partments, and the people who would visit it on Sunday if open, are passing the day.
