THE EVENING STAR bas a regular and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger t efany other paper in NEWS paper and Ad- SS ‘The proposed government printing office has started on the same dolefnl Journey which was traveled by the new city post office, and which has been recommended by the Senate to the Proposed public library and to the proposed District building. Everybody favors such pro- jects in the abstract; the owners of contend- ing sites strangle every concrete proposition. The city post office hung in the air for years Between the two houses of Congress, because each house bad committed itself on the subject of a site and obstinately adhered to ite decision. In the case of the government printing officethe Benate bas announced in effect that Senators wrangle so fiercely over the site question that not even that single body can agree upon the matter, and that consequently it will leave the government printing office unbuilt. Legis- lators ought not to play dog-in-the-manger. But they often do. And it was this fact and the lemon taught by the doleful experiences of the city post office which cansed the people of Washington to regret the Senate sentiment in respect to the public hbrary and Dutrict building projects. Generally speaking, every one favored the creation of the library, but there was opposition to its location in the only available building at present in sight. A library in the air was an admirable idea, but a library in the city’s post office building was not to be thought of. So everrbody favored in the abstract = District building. But it could not be built upon the market reservation, set apart long ago by Congress for the purpose, because ladies on their way to market might be frightened at proximity to and observation of the official protectors and pre- servers of the public peace. anc because public sentiment opposed the use of the public reser- vations for anyother purposes than as the breathing places of the people and as inexpen- sive freight-car storage stations and terminal ‘accommodations to be charitably bestowed upon ‘the impoverished steam railroads. Quarters in | the so-called city post office building could not be provided, because Uncle Sam had already | allowed the city the use of the ground floor of | its building and had other use of his own for the remaining seven stories. Thus the District | building falis into the category of prizes to be fought over by factions of straggling lot-own- | ers. And in respect to this project also the city seems doomed to delay and doubt, and the hope | ck. deferred which maketh the heart - os ‘Today the nation—and especially so much of ft as resides within the federal territory— thinks « little more than usual of the great his- torical figure on whose patriotism and valor the foundations of this government seem to rest. ‘The lapse of years has not resulted in any ma- terial change of popular sentiment as to the character of George Washington; it may be that the hero seems to be less of a saint and more of man than was customary im time past, but | that does him no discredit. The tendency has been toward hightlown eulogy, in which the orator or historian not unnaturally omitted facts that would tend to lower the ideal standard upon which Washington bad been placed by | those who were closely associated with him. The iconoclast will find, however, little to dis- turb in connection with the life and achieve- mente of him who as the father of his country bas a ving progeny numbering more than sixty-five millions of the best-governed people on the face of the globe. It is not possible to detract from the glory which surrounds the Editor. | | the ever-present dangers of unconstrained fame and consequent panic. Stairways have been | widened and all the facilities for hasty exit that humane ingenuity could suggest are now in | place. but these cannot remedy radically weak construction nor afford a sufficiency of space in | the many overcrowded rooma Never, until | Yesterday, bas any one questioned the justice ofan appropriation which would remove the murderous conditions, and even now there is not a single legislator who bas the bardihood to jariee in bis place and attack the broad | proposition of = new and secure structure. But self-interest is sometimes more powerful than the sense of right, and mistaken loyalty to friends is often weightier than = semi-torpid conscience. Every Senator and Representative has an undoubted right to | freedom of speech, opinion and vote, but when | that freedom is used to imperil the lives of thousands of fellow beings there is assumption of a responsibility the like of which few men | can bear easily. Some day the people of this | country will be horrified by a disaster which will make thousands of people shudder when- ever the government printing office is men- tioned. And regrets will then be of no avail. a Anna Dickinson is at present conducting one of the most extensive libel syndicates on record.
