4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: FRIDAY.......... December 4, 1891. times Inrger than that of any other paper tm the city. As a local NEWS paper and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. ————_——————— res ‘The report of the Postmaster General con- tains a number of important statements about the working of the department and of valuable suggestions for the future. One of the most interesting of the topics treated concerns the extension of the merit system of promotions, recently put in operation, to the larger post of- ficesand the railway mailservice. Anotheristhe recommendation to adapt the telephone as well as the telograph to the postal system. The rea- sons for speedy action are stated compendiously and in¢lude the fact that the telephone patent expires a year from next March, and unless ‘Congress acts promptly an immense syndicate ‘will control ail of the telephono plants in the country. Tho Postmaster Gencral says thet ene-cent letter postage, three-cent telephone messages and ten-cent telegraph messages are all near possibilities under an enlightened and compact postal system, using the newest tele- graphic inventions, Among other recommen- dations are the full parcels post, to be reached after awhile; the extension of the money order system everywhere: the pneumatic tube sys- tem of Berlin and London: free delivery wherever the population is thick enough to warrant the employment of carriers; in the cities the immediate general employment of door letéer boxes for collection as well as de- livery. Mr. Wanamaker adds some features to his last year's plan of a postal savings bank. Quite a number of these suggestions are prac- ticable at present and should be carried ont by Congress. ‘The Postmaster General, in discussing the temporary city post oflice on G street, says: ‘What Washington needs is a commission of citizens, engineers, members of Con and perhaps cabinet officers to suggest how some wise, economical and far-seeing plan for the erection of needed public buillings might be accomplished according to a definite, artistic, business-like plan. It would mean a saving the end of $20,000,000 perhaps; and meantime the architeetural hodgepodge, whose only merit is its infrequency, would disappear, and the excentive departments would be housed in buildings owned by the government and form- ing part of a splendid whole.” It is hoped that Congress will give heed to these words of practical wisdom,recommending a liberality which is true economy. The systematic substitution of suitable, convenient and handsome buildings owned by the govern- ment for rented quarters is not only what Washington needs, but what the government and the republic need. Every cent thus spent will be money profitably invested, with the mere item of rent-saving in view, to say nothing of the more healthful and creditable accom- modations provided. - —> + Water famines in great cities ought not to be. Where buman ingennity is the highest, and the need for it to be so the greatest, conditions for such a famine should not exist. But pr: tically it isthe other way. A week oF so since New York was for a timo without suficient water for ordinary purposes and would have been defenseless in the event of a great contla- gration. On Tuesday for a few hours Chicago was similarly situated. The water department which should be the most, is often the least efficient branch of a city’s government. ——— One of the diversions which the children in the New York public schools offer visitors isan “imitation of Maggie Cline.” Maggie is a Touring Irish comedienn> who sings “T‘row ‘im down, McClosky,” and other ballads in a way that is certain to command attention. When Brooklyn school teachers repudiate Longfel- low’s “Launching of the Ship” and the New York pedagogues go in for Maggie Cline it maust be rather hard for the juvenile to deter- mine which end of the big suspension bridge is the safe one. —_—+-2—____. The disposition of heads of departments to keep estimates down is a praiseworthy one within certain limits. But there will be little gained, taking the matter in its practical polit- ical aspect, by @ narrowness of expenditure that amounts to parsim Public needs mast be promptly and intelligently met, or the money gaved will have no weight as an ar- gument in favor of the policy under which the economy Was attained. —_—_—_ee____ ‘The great state of Missouri is one of the com- munities advocating a “country road congress” and improvement in locomotion. Missouri is many times right on this question, which is one of the most important that engage the at- tention today of the American people. With- oat good highways no genuine progress is poe- sible for the rural sections of any country, ‘The better these roads the greater the progress. ———_ + ‘The opinion of the British chancellor of the exchequer that a congress of nations to con- sider the subject of bimetaliism should be held shows a praiseworthy readiness to meet the de- mands of the times. An international under- standing on the currency is necessary to make any basis of circulation a safe one, excepting possibly that of gold alone. ——_ ++ Capt. Rossell’s disposition todo away with Satiquated sidewalks gives a hopeful view of affairs. It is about time to put a stop to acon- dition under which the pedestrian finds the best walking in the roadway among horses and vehicles. The foot passenger should have at Jeast equal facilities with the omnibu: —__~--—_ Anarticle ina London paper expresses re- gret that American jokes cannot be copy- righted, so that the London papers would be Jess free in their use of them. Jobn Bull's as- sumption of a critical attitude on the subject of jokes is really a very creditable effort in tho direction of humor. — + ‘Tho compliments which the New York dailies are exchanging have not in all cases the grace which custom imparts, but the tendency is Progressing with suficient rapidity to make a Journalistic Manhattan mutual admiration so- ciety sadly imminent. a Obio people who are disposed to be disagree- able will presently be averring that Indians could not have attained her political importance it it had not been for the slice of Buckeye ter- Fitory that has been included within Hoosier boundaries —+ += Japan has made a grant of €2,225,000 to the earthqueke sufferers and is in’ a position to give Russia a poimt or two on the subject of Civilization, + The chim in China that the troubles arc merely local isnot berne emt by the indica- tions.
