4 a ny THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. .D. Cc. WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 30, 1891 “THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: has a regular and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that of any other paper the city. As a lecal NEWS paper and Advertising Medium it has ne competiter. It is hoped that the Post Office Department and the supervising architect will promptly come to an agreement in respect to the minor changes in the plan of the new city post office, suggested by the former, and that there will be no further delay in the approval of the design and in the contract letting for the new struc- ture. This is the proper timefer the suggestion of improvements in lighting, ventilation, &c., and the post office of the capital ought to be a model in all respects, but Washington appeals to the post office authorities not to dawdle over the matter, wasting valu- able time, but to decids quickly as well as intelligently upon theso questions of detail, and to cease to retard beyond the point of absolute necessity the work of con- struction. Washington, whose post office hopes have been long deferred, begrudges every min- ute of unnecessary postponement. For this Feason especially there is nc favorable public Fesponse to the suggestion that a part of D street be included within the post office site, and the building lines be brought out to the avenue. Architectural and other objections are made to the proposed change, but the con- sideration which influences Washington is the thought that thework of designing must be begun anew, thet congressional legislation grantmg the use of D street must be secured and that the orlargement of the building will be accom- panied by an increase of cost which will pre- vent the erection of a granite structure of the required height within the limits of the appropriation and compel an appeal for more money to a Congress commit- ted to a policy of retrenchment. In the months required for the accomplishment of these things, if they were secured at all, not & stroke of work could be done in actuai con- struction. The city would sit idly with hands folded, while the question of the local post office, being reopened in Congress by its own unwise act, might be finally determined after Jong delay in @ manner that would unsettle and overthrow all that had been accomplished. Washington will not imitate the dog which dropped into the river the bone between its teeth in order to snap at the apparently larger Done reflected in the water. The post office potentially within its grasp is a handsome, mirably arranged, and highly creditable struc- ture. The capital does not greedily demand more, but it does ack that everrbody hustle like the energetic supervising architect in pushing forward the work of building the post Cflice which was pictured in yesterday's Sraz. = es The control of the legislature of New York, perhaps for the future as wellas the present, turning on the decision of the contested seats in the senate, both parties agreed to leave the matter tothe court of appeals and abide by the result. There were four esses. The court, composed of a majority of democrats, has di cided the matter in such a manner as to insure, through the action of the democratic board of canvassers,a democratic majority. Without going into detail it is well to say that the ques- tions were chiefly technical. In the 16th dis- trict the point was mainly the initializing in- stead of spelling ont the Christian name of the republican candidate, and he is to have the certificate. In another case—the 15th distriet— where a printer's quad on the republican ticket had shown on the tickets and those votes were re- fected the court suggested that the canvassers should await another return, In still another district (the 25th) ballots sent to wrong poiling places were thrown out by the canvassers as defective and action in awarding the certificate to the democrat is indirectly confirmed by the court. The contest in the twenty-seventh district was decided by voiding the election of the republican, who Lad an un- disputed majority of 1,600, on the constitutional | ground that he held at the time of the election astateofice. But the decision did not give the certificate to his democratic opponent. A | new election ought to be provided in this in- stance. The democrats will take a technical advantage of the quad case and possibly of the one in the twenty-seventh district, and this, with the one decided squarely in their favor, will give them two or three seats, or two seats with an election ordered perhaps at a day too late for the organization of the legislature, the equivalent of a third seat. This is sufficient without the seat awarded to the republican: indeed, with the lieutenant governor's vote it ‘would suffice with only the two votes which the democrats secure under the decision. But the board of canvassers having referred the matter of the seat for the twenty-seventh dis- trict to the senate, that body will probably ad- mit the democrat. Democratic control of all branches of the state government means a re- districting that is expected to perpetuate that party's supremacy in New York. — The report of Secretary Langley makes manifest the growing wants of our scientific depertment. Room is needed in the storing of the constantly augmenting collections at the National Museum and another building must speedily be added. Besides, the govern- ment should be able to vie with private col- lectors in the purchase of rare specimens, which sometimes are taken abrond because there are not means at the command of the directors to secure them for the museum, | Washington did not get the world’s fair (it is perbaps superfinous to remark), but it should nevertheless be the recipient as the capital of such of the foreign exhibits at Chi- cago as are presented to this government in preference te long and expensive transporta- tion to the distant points from which they came, The Philadelphia exposition gave birth to the National Museum; the Chicago exposi- tion shouid more than double it be appreciated when it is stated that the nomi- wee of the democratic lottery convention ac- cepts the nomination in @ letter opposing lot- teries and that the anti-lottery republicans seem to be led by a man who used to be a lot- tery max, while the icader of the lottery re- publicans formerly, as governor, vetoed the lottecy acts of the legislature. The situation ie more head-splitting than bad case of grip. ee ‘The British reciprocal arrangement for cer- tain American coloties has been signed to go into operation in a short time, although the official proclamation may be delayed for a while. ‘Thus rolls on the ball of reciprocity, gathering momentum at each revolution. A policy so obviously beneficial needs no argument to sus- tain it. The people have already indorsed it, a The tendency of crankism is toward the homicida! to an alarming degree. ‘The repre- sentative of that class has become something mote than a mere bore and should be looked iter secordingly. — It takes a great many people to run a New York election. It is a question of importance who wil! superintend thes¢ complications for the demcerate when Mr. Hill is busy with his senatorial duties. +2 ‘The fact that base ball salaries are not so large as formerly may ¢™ourage the ambitious muail boy to deperd mo on his arithmetic, spelling beck aud brains fo. future greatness. + Japan basa sturdy, self-reliag government that proceeds to meet disaster 28 the country by appropriating four millious of d@iars for the relict of suiferer —___+ += ——_ ‘The stories that come from the Distr jai) furnish shocking examples either of eruelt; or mendacity. 2 2 ‘The indications are for a big interview crop and a correspondiagly large sapply of perfune- teev denial. ~— o ‘Where is there another argument so convincing as this—That no other house DOES— EVER DID-EVER WILL—sell such STERLING QUALITIES at such LOW PRICKS as WE quote?
