THE EVENING STAR bas the fallest Local Circulation efany Newspaper in the Word, and as an Advertising Mediam ts worth more than all the other papers published In Washington. i) New York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building, The public is not so much interested in de- elding who is or has been fesponsi- ble for delays in the work of resurfao- ing Pennsylvania avenue as in hastening improvement to a speedy comple- tion. At present, the cause of in the insignificant force of men employed in repairing the treck-bed of the street railway, and the effort of the Com- missioners to quicken the snail's pace of this work will receive public indorsement. In its present stage the work on the tracks is & nuisance, irrespective of the delay caused to the contractors engaged in resurfacing the evenue with asphalt, Vehicles of all kinds are impeded and driven into dangerous Jams; pas- sengers on the cars are detained by blockades; dust fills the air in dry weather, and mud spatters everything after a rain. To the mer- chants, whose busy season fs near at hand, it is becoming a serious matter to have the street torn op in this way, and so little done toward putting it into passable condition for customers’ carriages. Every citizen who takes a pride in Washington is mortified at the {dea of presenting such a spectacle to our guests who will gather here shortly for the Ma- sonic conclave and the other political, social and scientific reunions, The people of the city are especially anxious that no additional de- lays shall occur to postpone the completion of the work, arising from wrangles between the parties who are responsible to the public for the performance of varying duties in respect to the improvement. The general advice to everybody connected with the resurfacing is to postpone for a time @ consideration of the shortcomings of others, to do heartily what duty to the public requires in the matter, and to hurry about it. ro A democracy so broad as to embrace on the one hand a tariff reformer of Allen G. Thur- man’s radical stamp, and on the other as good ® protectionist as James E. Campbell, is Obio’s boast. In bringing together the convention which meets at Dayton today, this democracy has undertaken the task of conciliating and zing elements as diverse as the poles, Its success is yetto be determined. Laurence T. Neal is the candidate of the out-and-out low tariff men, If, as now seems unlikely, he ro soff the nomination, the platform will probably be bold in its tariff plank, following of the national party. Should ex- nan Campbell, however, be chosen, will be relegated to an inferior place, and the fight made upon local issues as far as possible, trusting te the interest awakened by these, and to the personal popularity of the ate, to pull the ticket through, The re- year rolled up a plurality of thousand votes against the Old h a strong prohibition ticket democratic wings must flap p vigorously, if the party is to to the front in this year’s race, ot 3 hose domestic affairs gan abundant airing through the v made by his wife upon a p ntie City, is one of a group of y ers of good ancestry and e e who took a fancy, some years « backs upon a life of luxuri- ous ease and devote th ir energies to the public One was agon of Hamil- ecretury of State; among the .

South Dakota stands by her consti- tation adopted in 1885, when she assumed the guise, without the substance, of statehood, Washington is still at work athers. This seems to leave very little time in which to discuts be- fore the people the various provisions of the bew instruments. but it is safe to say that no debate is necessary or expected. Ail differ- ences were sufficiently settled in convention to leave little to be done outside. The fret thought now is to procure admission to the Union, and, after that, any small defects which may seem to need it can be amended at leisure, All the constitutions provide for bicameral legislatures; end in all except Washington's | the sessions are held every two years and limited to sixty days. North Dakota places re- étrictions pon special legislation and on state, county, and municipal indebtedness; gives women the right to vote im school elections, aud will lay before the voters, in a separate cle, the question of prohibiting the liquor fic. South Dakota has made similar pro- visions throughout, except that she is prepared, ai the first session of the legislature, to submit the entire question of woman suffrage to the people. In Montana there is no refe ee to the liquor question; but women ‘e permitted to vote at school elections and mes to be decided by the taxpayers, In shington there will be a separate liquor ubmitted to the people; on the woman cage question there has been some inde- d the conclusion reached the other day against submitting a separate clause on this head to the people has been reconsidered, ew states the school fund is care+ ed, and the reserved fands are to be in installments at long intervals, at a minimum price of ten dollars an acr», On the whole, it appears that the conventi ms have stecred fairly clear of the perils of filling up their constitutions with matters which belong more properly within the domain of ordinary legislation; and thus far, at any rate, they are to be congratulated on the results of their labors, ———_—— Elbridge T.
