THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. __ MONDAY .February 13, 1893. THE RVENING @TAK has a regular and permanent circulation in Washington three times targer than of any other paper t the city. tecal NEWS paper and Ad- Vertising Mediuw it has vo competitor. ——————— When the Senate comes to consider the legis- lative, executive and judicial appropriation ‘Dill it will find in that conglomerate mass of provisions and figures one or two propositions te which Tux Sran has editorially and in the communieations of numerous correspondents pail its respects. These propositions, which abd receive thoughtful attention from the ate, have for their object the extension of working hours in the government departments | the redaction the leave of absence bere- fore annually granted government emplc Af the ideasof the House on these subjects be bat | Dostity glanced at there is danger of renatorial concurrence, but a little attention will make plain (he fallacies that have been indorsed by the so-called deliberative body which occupies valuable «pace at the south end of the Capitol. Tament clerks at percenta of laziness, but it is small, suid evon be eliminated if all political considerations ceased to prevail in places where only business regui Punctuality is required in every department. and following thie essential comes application to duty. Evidence of this and in the records which are kept by argus-eyed division chiefs; records that may be seen by any Con- Rressman who cares to go below the surface in search of information upon which to base an intelligent conclusion. Viewed from the hy- genic standpoint present conditions are bad | enongh: ion of economy that | may dece © distressingly dgnorant about the rent- ing of buildings many instances the structures bave developed an | absolute lack of fitness. In spite of the evident a be ive the voters of 0 government use, and in } unbealthfulness and unsuitability of these places Congress has compelled their oceupa- | tion, has cooped human beings of both sexes | up in rooms that never admitted sunshine, and {nto which the entrance of fresh air was almost impossible. Here the steady grind of wi changing toil goes on from day to day | nd lives are made coloriess by tue bleaching | intluences of foul air and flickering gaslight. All clerks are not so unfortunate as those who | must toil under h health-destroying condi- tions, but even in the decently ventilated offices the never-changing grind of duty wears more on the employes than wo ten hours of purely physical effort. All this is known to the erienced legislators in the Senate, and they alse know that these efforts to lengthen the clerical day and shorten the clerical rest are | made in the interest of cheap political capital. | One or two Senators are alleged to be a t weary of allowing themselves to be used for any such purpose, but they should not permit their knowledge of the trickery to prevent | them doing that which they know to be right. ‘The Senate will add to its well-established reputation for careful ad truly economic legislation by striking out ail reference to the | changes made by the House and, when the | Reasure comes up in conference, by insisting ‘on the rejection of such disorganizing proposi- hens, +202 The Presi of the United States has signed the court of appeals bill and after the third of next April the Distriet will have an ap- Peliate court of three justices, the salaries of the Supreme Court judges will be increased, and one-balf of the expenses, not only of the new, but of the existing court, will be met by trict of Columbia, Washington will ome the additional court thas pro- it, which will do much to relieve the present overcrowded court dockets. There is practically expenditure involved on the part of the United States, for at present it meets the entire expense of one court, whereas After the third of April it will meet one-half the expenses of twocourts. The District by this legis- lation will be taken into partnership with Uncie Sam in respect to its courts and will pay hore- | after annually a considerable sum, where in the | past it has contributed nothing at ail. But this | local court expenditure is wisely and justly | made. The new arrangement will emphasize the local aapeet of the courts and strengthen the claim of Washington that home rule prin- ciples should be followed in the appointment Of the local jmstices. The Distriet onght to pay & just proportion of the salaries of ita judges | nd there judges ought to be appointed from | the local bar. As an offset to the few thou- sands of dollars which Uncle Sam has spent upon steourts whieh he might properly have required | the District to contribute and did uot, there | thousands of dollars which he p m the District. Among these items are the million dollars involved in the abandoned tunnel extortion, and the thou- | sands of doliars taken from the District to pay for the N. I Zoo. But in itself legislation providing for Washington's contribution tol y= this court expenditure is just and proper. Moreover, by its wixe Inw making the recorder of deeds a salaried Congress has recently | abolished one infamous method of robbing the People of the Distriet for the benefit of im- ported politicians and bas saved to the com- munity almost enough to meet its share of the expenses of its courts, - soe of aduinistration are by no Means as solemn as some people imagine them to be. and much of the gindness and hilarity whieh are being introduced into the quacren- nial period of political earthquakes is due to | the newspapers of the country. For instance, the Atlantic City Review, instead of working | itself and the community in whieb it cirealates | into state of mind over the postinastership and causing no end of bad feeling. is running | s competition for the piace.

The Keystone sol- | diers who come to the inaugural, and it is | hoped that all will come, will be welcomed Just | as heartily, will be treated just as hospitably and will enjoy themselves fully as much, as the | troops from any other state. Pennsylvania will doubtless occupy the same conspicuous and honorable position in this parade that she bas held in so many others at the capital. io Mr. Cleveland's selection of Judge Gresham may be regarded as formally annexing him to the democratic party. a Minister Stevens cannot complain of an ab- sence of variety in the opinions expressed con- cerning his action in Hawaii. see SHOOTING STARS. said the weather, “Here we are!
