THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: TAURSDAY THE EVENING STAR has the fallest_ Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the Werld, and as an Advertising Medium ix worth more than all the other papers published iu —_Washinaton. New York Ofice: Room 93, Tribune Building Propositions are before Congress to build both a new Patent Office and a new Post Office Department building. if the latter prevails it is intended to uso the present General Post Office for a Patent Office, and let the pent-up business of the Interior Department overflow into the old Patent Office space. Everybody who has business with or knowledge of the two departments named is aware of the cramped condition of things. The Post Office Depart- ment pays $20,000 rents for the following offices: Money Order Office, Post Office Depart- ment; Money Order Office, 6th Auditor's Office; ‘Topographers’ Office; Division of Post Office Supplies; Mail Bag Repair Shop. The Interior Department rents at an aggregate of $62,000, the Genera! Land Office. the Geological Sur- vey, the Indian Office, the Education Office, the Pension Agency. the Irrigation Survey, the Census Office. In the six years from 1874 to 1886 the increase in the number of employes of the Post Office Department was 121. In the former year the number was 558. At the same rate in 1910—thirty years from now—-the total number will be 1,279. The number of post offices in the United States has grown from 1874 from 24,294 to 57,376 in 1888, In 1910 the nomber of post offices will be at this rate of in- crease 93,632. In 1874 the gross revenue of the Post Office Department was $26,477,072. In 1888 the gross revenue was #52,695,176. While the General Post Office building has a total of 98.700 square feet the State, War and Navy building has a floor space of 209,471 square feet. The first named gives 90 square feet of floor space to each of its employes, in- cluding office rooms, furniture, files, &c.; the latter gives 133 square feet to each employe, or 43 square feet more. $< In the House Tuesday the National Zoologi- cal Park appropriation bil! was passed. The amendment imposing half the cost of the park's maintenance upon the District of Columbia was adopted, and that which proposed the accept- ance of gitts for the park in the name of the District of Columbia as well as of the United States was rejected. The park is “national,” the Smithsonian is put in charge of it, gifts are received in the name of the United States alone, but the District has the privilege of pay- ing one-half of the expenses, In this particular partnership with Uncle Sam the District is an extremely silent and limited partner, whose participation in the affairs of the firm consists in the payment of assessments. A similar compulsory partner- ship in the work of tunnel-building was con- ducted tos disastrous termination by the ac- tive and responsible partner, Uncle Sam. There is no such danger in the present case, and until the park is fairly established and firmly on its legs the District has perhaps no over- whelming objection to contributing from its comparative poverty to aid Uncle Sam in this national project, even though the fact of its contribution is publicly ignored, and its name is erased from the books of the firm. But in time the District will arise in vigorous and justifiable revolt against the practice of viewing it as a state when direct taxes are to be imposed, and priv- ileges in the states are granted to aliens, and not a state when its people attempt to sue as citizens of a state in federal courts, and against the latest device of making it a partner with Uncle Sam in particular ventures to the extent of assessing it, but stopping short of making it a partner who is entitled to the credit of pub- lie recognition as such. ee ‘The Crusaders are destroying beer in the West. The well-meaning women who fight the drinking habit by smashing private property have & good deal to learn about human nature —man nature, that is. A woman may influence « man to quit drinking beer or whisky, but she will never stop the sale of beer or whisky by opening a few casks containing it and letting the contents run into the streets, The strong- est popular opposition to the liquor power to- day is based upon the belief that it is arro- gantly lawless and that its lawlessness works serious damage and threatens worse. Wisdom does not suggest that its opponents resort to lawlessness against it, subjecting themselves to the same reproach. ———— The ladies have renewed their proposition made two years ago to present a memorial statue of Washington in bronze to France, and at » meeting yesterday at Mrs. Justice Field's a reorganization was effected and conclusiv action was taken. Something like 6.000 is already in the treasury and it is thought the statue will cost $20,000, so that only €14.000 will have to be raised, an amount certainly and easily within reacl.. if the proper spirit prevail. $a If there be really, as reported. a peasant re- volt in parts of Russia in sympathy with the students’ conspiracy, lively times may be ex- pected in Muscovy’s realm. But the Mujik, so long in mental as well as physical thrall to his “little father, the White Tsar,” is not a promis- ing rebel. $$ An open lamp in @ coal mine is like a match in a powder magazine. The two sets of things have so much feeling for each other they can- not exist apart when brought nearly in con- tact. The latest Pennsylvania coal mine horrors show that this principle of natural law is not fully appreciated in the Keystone state. ——$_—> + = ‘The military parade of April 11th should be and probably will be made a very impressive spectacle. Its impressiveness would be more complete if there were time to organize a re- view at the same time of all the militia and volanteers of the adjacent states. The Australian or secret ballot seems to have worked for the benefit of the democrats in the local elections at Milwaukee and throughout Missouri, but against them in the Rhode Island state election. Thus are the scales held even between the parties so far as the secret ballot is concerned, eo Emin Pasha holds himself to service for Ger- many in Africa at the wage of an American Congressman—@5,000 a year—which perhaps is large enough for a man who has to be “found” so often. —— $< One of the most hopeful educational signs of the present day is the enormons advance mado im several of the state universities in special re- search, both scientific and literary—inclnding im these departments political science, consti- tutional history, social questions as well as comparative philology and the study of par- Ucular languages and literatures, a When the ladies have succeeded in ® monument to Washington in France, they should show the male portion of this country a good ¢ ple by erecting a monument to Washington's mother in America. ae According to the Supreme Court of Illinois the Y.M.C.A. is not so religious a body that it ean not hold all the property which may come into its possession, and the Y.M.C.A. does not for the occasion resent the imputation upon its — eo ‘There is another war cloud in Europe.
