NOLES Eattor, ‘THE EVENIN STAK bas the failest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the Wortd, aud as uv Advertising Medinm is worth a New York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building. The Supreme Court, Tue Stan and the pub- lic generally are well pleased with the recom- mendation of the Senate committee of public buildings and grounds to purchase as soon as possible two squares of ground tobe used as 2 mite for a new Supreme Court building. From the beginning the accommodations of the highest court in the land have been poorer than those of many of the lower courts, and action for their betterment has been delayed year after year without sufficient reason. It is to be sincerely hoped that the day is near at hand when our highest judicial body will have quarters commensurate with its dignity and ornamental to the city. oe For several sessions of Congress Senator Spooner has been laboring to decrease the cost and improve the quality of the ci Senator Butler now proposes a heroic remedy for the shortcomings of the local company in his bill for the condemnation of its property, and the supplying by the government of the city’s gas, Senator Batler’s proposition is not Likely to pass Congress very soon, but in eon- neetion with Senator Spooner’s more practical Suggestions it gives a hint to the gas company to improve steadily the quality of its light and, Perhaps, to mend the morals of its meters, eee New York must see the total unfitness of Chieago as the site of the world’s fair, and Chicago must see the absolute unworthiness of New York to serve as such a site. Why not compromise a wrangle which threatens to each & possibility of the success of the other by uniting upon the only suitable site, the astional capital? eee It is shown that the fees of the office of Re- corder of Deeds for theDistrictaggregate? 40,000 for the past thirty-four months, that is about £1,200 a month, an amount which must, in any sort of fairness to the just proportion of work to pay, be considered excessive. The evil can only be remedied by making the position a sdaried one, and fixing the salary within rea- sonable limits. And this should be done before another Recorder assumes the duties of the ottice. hoop. erp the age of progress in every- thing efcept the number of people who meet death by violence. A recont theater accident in that country wiped out three hundred or more persons, and a flo. d which doesn’t drown at least ten thousand is hardly thought to be more than 6 freshet. In the statements of the earnings of trotters during the past seasons we fail to see the name of our own Trotter recorded; and yet for the past two years and ten months the number of his deeds has been notable and he shows up for $10,000 of earnings. _ No investigation can be too careful and hardly any precaution can be treated as super- fluous which look to the protection from con- tamination of the reservoirs containing Wash- ington's water supply. All reasonable expendi- tures in the direction of assuring to the people of the city pure water are to be commended. and measures to that end should be prompt. ——- Mayor ‘Tart of Boston has notified the elec- trie light companies that no contracts will be made hereafter in excess of forty cents per lamp per night, instead of sixty-five cents as heretofore. The mayor doesn’t want to tarn the lights out, it will be observed, he merely wishes to lower them a little. $< «—_ The issue of the recent election in the Union League club of New York was between ten- cent whisky and fifteen-cent whisky, and a ten- cent executive committee was chosen. This a an era of retrenchment and reform, ~ — The case of a woman kidnaped in South Caro- lina by North Carolina authorities is calling forth remarks from the respective governors of those states and has temporarily changed the style of address which has proverbiully conversation, — A crowd of five hundred school children mobbed a school teacher in Boston Thursday for thrashing one of their mates, The spirit of Prof. Sullivan is apparently knocking Bos- ton’s intellectuality “guiley west,” or words to that effect. eo Mr. Strauss of Vienna, who is a musician of note, says the waltz is on the decline, but he says it without baving taken a dip into Wash- ington society. — + The Congressman from Wayback will be the one sho will vote on the Fair site question in favor of the city willing to pay the most and save the government expense. — + The woolen manufacturers are quite as wnanimously in or of free wool as the wool growers are not, The tari! is not without its idiosyncrasies. > + The New York Sun “shines for all’ "except Mr. Grover Cleveland. —— Jack Frost is such a stranger in these parts that one feels like referring to him only as Joba Frost. a The Fatherhood of the House descends from Judge Kelley toSamuel J.
