4 _THE EVENING STAR. " WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY. . January 25, 1893. cRosBy 8. NOYES. R THE EVENING STAR basa regular and permanent circulation In Washington three times larger than that of any other paper in the city. As « local NEWS paper and Ad- “The world is governed by self-interest,” said Schiller. Nearly a century has elapsed since Schiller ceased to think and write and speak but the sume old world is being gov- ‘erned in the same old way. There are doubt- less many good reasons why the plumbing and ‘ventilation of the Capitol should be reformed and renovated and there is nothing unnatural in the concern which seems to possess and ani- mate the Senators who have been looking into the sewage problem at the Capitol, but it might be suggested that there are in this city several government establishments which, in point of safety and ventilation and general desirability ‘as work-shops, are so far inferior to the Capitol &s to be beyond and beneath comparison. Ex- perts have tested the air in the various rooms of the great Council House and in most of them was found a greater or less proportion of carbonic acid gas. What effect this poison bad had upon the mortality tables in which em- iment men figure cannot be told, but it is known that death has kept his bony fingers off the throats of Senate employes for a long time past. Some of those who oceupy subordi- nate positions and whose hours of service are twice as many as are those of the employers have never lost a day from sickness in nearly twenty years’ service, despite the carbonic acid gee which has excited so much alarm. Captain | Bassett bas been imbibing the so-called delete- | rious atmosphere for sixty years and is in| reasonably good condition. These facts are} presented not as arguments against the making | of such improvements as have been made in the Senate and House, but simply to show that there is no great danger imminent, no disaster which threatens with mephitic waver to over- whelm and destroy a body of statesmen that | could not easily be duplicated. How is it, though, with the overloaded, overcrowded, | patent office? What are the prevailing condi- | tions in the government printing office? Again and again has the noteof warning been sounded | asto the latter structure, but the sound bas | practically been unheeded. Sinking and crack- ing floors have been clumsily supported, while distorted ceilings have been shored- up in s crude and temporary way. The | possibility of fire is an easy one, ever before the eyes of the officers in charge of the establish- ment, but what is Congress doing to diminish the acknowledged evils? Why not hurry up and mske the necessary appropriation for a substantial and well-ventilated structure, in which 3,000 people can labor without fear and trembling? It would take several times the ‘amount of carbonic acid gas discovered in the Senate to killa member of the national legis Isture: a match would destroy the government printing office. And if the destruction came in the day time, thousands of people would mourn | the horrible deaths of those who, during the | hours of toil, never breathed air as pure as that | which fills the Inngs of Capitol habitues and who were sacrificed becanse no man who could speak for them in the legislative halls was compeiied to endure conditons which were inseparably asso- cinted with their bread winning. The Senator or Representative who imagines that health- fulness is being driven out of his system by carbonic acid gas can afford such journeyings as he may deem necessary for recuperation: the government printing office employe must work whether he or she wants toor not. Im- prove your plumbing all you want to, legisla- tors; kalsomine your sewers, electroplate your steam pipes and perfume the congressional atmosphere with cologne, but do not forget that there are others among men. for whose well-being you are largely responsible, whose necessity is very much greater than your own. see Some democratic members of the Senate committee on military affairs are alleged to be opposed to the appointment of E. W. Halford a» major and paymaster in the army. One of ‘the bases on which the opposition stands is an argument that a life appointment should not be made by « President whose term of office has Osty Larexy Anniven FROM Esoraxv, France, Scoraxp, Swirzentaxp, aLso Genwaxy, Berows Axv Jaras.

They insisted that « President was President until his term expired; a reason- able conclusion, supported by both the Consti- tution and common sense. If these legislators were right then they are wrong now. Another adverse argument insists that such appoint- ments should be given toarmy officers and not to eivitians. There is some force in that proposition, but not much. No army officer who has not an overwhelming mass of political influence can Powsibly secure such a promotion. and the ofi- cers all know it. They do not expect the ap- pointments and are not even slightly disturbed when the commissions are presented to dis- tinguished civilians. oe ‘There do not seem to be any dubious terms fm the report on the Long bridge which the Secretary of War today forwarded to Senator MeMillan.

It has been aptly said that discre- tion was the better part of valor (and it might have been added o/ everything else.) Itis discretion of some kind that should govern any intelligent man and ‘woman in every step of their life. Another name for discretion is coimmon sense. Do we always ise common sense? No, we do not; and that is the reason why only a few succeed, get rich or become famous. Now, almost everybody has the discre- tion if they would Just use it. Every one hould use their discretion to look about nd choose oniy that which is fit and suit- able for use and let theother kind severely alone. For instance, buy **Ceres” Flour rather than any other flour (not because nearly everybody else buys it), but be- use it is really better, finer and has more giving nourishment to the pound than Ww any other flour in this country. All housekeepers who use ‘‘Ceres" say it makes ‘‘more” bread, “lighter bread, hiter” read, ‘‘eweeter” bread, and “better” bread than any other flour that ever came into their kitchen. Beware of imitations. Every eack and barrel of tae genuine ‘‘Ceres” contains a circular signed in autograph by Wm. af. Gait & Co., and bearing the imprint of two gold medals.
