THE EVENING STAR. | New Doveze WASHINGTON: SATURDAY. January 25, 1990. CROSBY 5. NOYES... --- Balter, THE EVENING STAR has the fallest Lecal Circulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the ether papers published in Washington, ww York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building. A proposition to amend the mechanics lien Jaw of the District is now before the Commis sioners by reference from Congress, upon which an expression of opinion is asked. The proposed amendment is not the one for which the citizens who have built, are building or are about to build in Washington have been clamoring. But the offering of this amend- ment brings up for consideration the law to be amended, and the changes in it which the public really desire. Whatever other alterations are made in this statute no time should be lost in requiring the material map who wishes to take advan- tage of its provisions to give notice of his in- tention to the owner in order that the latter may withhold the amount from the contractor and protect himself against double payments. The law as it stands makes @ favored class of material men, renders them careless of the eredit of direct purchasers from them. encour- ages fraud and extortion and conspiracies to defraud, and places an obstacle in the way of house-building and of Washington's develop- ment aa the city of homes, the notable resi- Toons AND RUSSIAN BATH.

The opposition papers say that it is an administra- tion back-down, humiliating to the American mame and character. The German papers of all parties aver that it is aGerman retreat. On its face it appears to be fur from providing what Germany desired. It compels the restora- tion of the king whom the Germans deposed and in ite general expressions it seems to estab- lish Samoan control of Samoa, under the joint supervision of the powers, mstead of the Ger- man control which that power demanded. The doubt suggested whether Germany has not suc- ceeded in obtaining indirectly what it failed to secure directly is based npon the provision which creates the office of chief justice for Samoa, with powers superior in substance to those of the king himself, and places his ap- appointment in case of disagreement between the powers in the hands of the King of Sweden, The nation which exercises the prevailing in- fiuence with the King of Sweden is the oue which will be stronzest in Samoa, For that nation may. by opposing the choice of the other two powers, always throw the appoint- ment to the King of Sweden and through him name the man of its choice. In the contro- versy over the Samoan King the republic has been victorious. Whether it has been equally successful in the provision concerning the king maker and mouider is open to doubt. The compromise is of a character to permit each of the powers to claim a victory and to be re- proached with a defeat.

New York papers outside of New York city are beginning to recognize this fact, and the check upon world’s fair legis- lation at Albany is doubtless due to a growing public sentiment in this direction. The contro- versy should be settled in a manner which will leave no bitterness or heart-burning to render the fair a failure through the indifference or active hostility of a slighted section or jealous commercial or political interests, Chicago and New York should both voluntarily withdraw in favor of the nation as the host at the fair. They ean do this without humiliation. The nation will then give «nd pay for an adequate celebra- tion of America’s discovery at its capital. No section will be offended at a preference given to the national city—the city of all the sections, No elections are to be held in the capital in 1992, s0 that its selection will quiet political ap- prebensions. No commercial city will be jeal- ous of Washington asa rival and hesitate to strengthen it by aiding the fair. All American interests, sinking their differences, can meet here on common ground, and work heartily and enthusiastically for the success of @ national celebration, and they can do so nowhere else, ———S It will be remembered that in the arguments lately made by her advocates before the Senate committee it was claimed that the summer cli- | mate of Chicago is far more favorable for a world’s fair than that of Washington. This statement sounded well enough at the time, in the absence of statistics on the subject; but what is it worth in the face of the admission in the prese dispatches from that city, the other day, thatin a single week in 1887 over one hundred persons died there from sun stroke? That, it is safe to say, isa larger num- ber than have died from the same cause in Washington since the city was first laid out, ae A mourning family on the way to the tuneral of one of its members was killed by a passing train at a grade crowing where no flagman ia ever stationed. This is a Chicago true story that will be true in its general features in some other place—Washington perhaps—tomorrow. The unprotected grade crossing is always with us and the law is always inadequate for public protection. —$———— + The golden rod has beew made by a majority ote of the people the national dower and Secretary Rusk has been so notified.
