4 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON: ‘WEDNESDAY --- January 20, 129% As @ local NEWS paper Advertising Medium it has ne competi ad The rules of the average reader a mere techuical matter | with which the public have smail concern. When it is recalled that legislative bodies have a large, if not the larger, share of direction in | all free governments it is seen that the ques- tion of rules rises above technicality into the reaim of politics and practical administration. The rules of the Serato have very seldom given serious troadie to that body, but it is| different with the rules of the House of Rep-| > resentatives. ‘The House is now so unwieldy , that it bas been found necessary to take away @ part of the liberty of discussion and to place in the hands of somebody the power of action. ‘The so-calied Keed rules of the last Congress were invented to expedite measures agroed upon by those having the initiative, and tae Mouse branch of the present Congress finds it necessary either to cut off obstruction— that is, debste—or, rot going so far ss this, to limit some of the oppor- tunities for obstruction. The committee on rules, hampered in part by the Speaker's ill- ness, has been slow in reporting a set of rules for the guidance of the House. Whether the | code of rules on which they have agreed will enable business to be dispatched while pre- serving a large share of frecdom to individual members cannot be known in advance of trial of the code. The cutting off of the privilege of reading long bills on suspension Mondays is stroke in the right direction, but is not in it- self a cure-all. Further restraint is demanded, ead if not adopted at preseut may soon have to be with loss of inter opportunities for Recent publications referred to in umn show that the legislative practice js fast conforming to the theory un- derlying the practice of our last House of Rep- Fescutatives. —_—_—_oro—____ Strange as it may appear ‘he first important measure defeated by the House after the pass- age of the economy resolations was a bill from the joint committee on printing, one of the chief purposes of which was to prevent waste ef the pubiie moneys. seems, however, on the explanation of Mr. Holman himself, the euthor of the economy resolutions, that the House kicked not so much at the proposed re- duction and regulation of printing as at the incidental establishment of a new bureau The democratic House is averse to new republican bureaus as a matter of principle. The bill, de- feated in the House for this reason chiefly, may finally pass if amended to suit the preju- dices of the popular body. In this comnection and in the line of real re- form the two houses of Congress might save auch money and promote the convenience of members by providing fora single additio elerk in edch chamber whose duties shal make exchanges of surplus documents between members. Thus if Mr. Tammany has had cred- ited to him copies of the agricultural report and had no use for any, and Mr. New State has had credited to him copies of manufactures reports and has had few calls to send out cop- ies, it would seem to be reasonable that Messrs. ‘Tammany and New State should unload on each other the surplus of each. Asa matter of fact they are busy with their respective duties and perhaps having no clerk do not make the ex change. If there were a clerk for the exchange of documents in each house the arrangement would be made without trouble. It might be thought thata member should receive only such documents as he actually needs, but who shall determine this? Uniformity of issue is ‘the only safe and equitable rule, and every pur- pose is served if the printing bills are kept within reasonable bounds and provision made for the distribution in a more rational manner than at present is the case. ————__+__. The uses of a national observatory have Srown until an enlargement of the whole plan iv necesmury. The mere increase of appliances for observations, provided for in the new buildings, is not sufticient. There is a demand fora permanent astronomical service of the highest grade known to the world, and to this end the employment of an astronomer of great reputation. This country has moved along be- bind the scientific procession until the Amer- ican scientists have become painfully anxious lest we drop out of sight altogether. And the remark is not intended to disparage the very able and zealous men of science who are offi- cially connected with the government. They are not responsible for the state of affairs, since they have done what they could with the limited facilities provided. A scientitic bureau or department is a greatdesideratum. Pend- ing its establishment Congress might well give consideration to such bills as that of Senator Morrill to perfect the organization of the Waited States naval observatory.
