STAK basa regular and | ot = Congress have always continued through an executive session following it,as they existed | at the session preceding thatexecutive session.” | Senator Brown of Georgia was sure that with |no more than a single exception there [had never been @ reorganization of that sort pressed at an executive session and even in that exceptional case there was change only in one case and that not for politi- cal reasons. Senator Groome insisted that it | Was wrong to remove Senate oficers at a called | session; “wrong to violate long-established pre- ter sanitars condition than the average Ameri- ean city. But very clearly the whole duty of Congress, of the municipality, and of the citi- has not been performed #0 vail and deaths oscar on aconant of the presence of filth or of other un- tanitary conditions. Washington should lead all American citiesin this re«pect. If citizens realized that the death rate might be reduced ten or fiftean per cent or more by careful and intelligent saxitary service, any indiffsre: nogiect of such matters would be cons asa fearful crime. There are evidences of an awakening among citizens and among public officials, to the situation. The possibility of a visitation of Asiatic cholera this summer is in part responsible for the recent movement. It is hoped by diligent and timely work, not only on the part of officials, but more especially on the part of citizen who are urged to co-operate through the Sani tary League, to close the gates of Washington against cholera. It is hoped further that the movement will result in sucha general and permanent sanitary improvement that scores of lives annually paid as tribute to diseases due to filth will be saved—diseases which in the long run are much more terrible in their rav- ages than cholera,but whose constant and famil- inr presence renders the community inditfer- ent to them. What can be done by painstaking and diligent work in this direction, is shown in a marked manner in the city of Berlin where the annual death rate has been reduced in twenty years from 30 to 20 per 1.000 of popala- tion. It is said that the people of Bezlin have no fear of cholera. The cholera shuns such a place as spirits of darkness shun the sunlight. The experience of Berlin ht be reprodaced in Washington. Such work as the Sanitary League has planned, and which will be explained tonight by Dr. Piliings in his lecture at the Columbian Univer- sity, will he!> todo it, Apart from the philan- thropy of the movement the business men of Washington interested in the material develop- ment of the city should, above all others, give the league cordial and earnest support and en- couragement. To reduce the death rate and make the city conspicuous for its security from destructive diseases will add much to the at- tractiveness of Washington as a place of resi- dence. Then, again, when deaths are pre- vented there is also a large amount of sickness saved to the community, which, from an eco- nomic point of view, means a great deal. Read- ers of Tax Stax should study carefully ex- tracts printed in another column respecting the sanitary work in Berlin, and then resolve to join with Tax Stax in waging war against dirt and pollution until Washington is raised to an eminence in regard to sanitary conditions which will make it « model for all the cities of the world, including even the renovated German capital, —_ oe ___. ‘Honest folk will be pleased to know that an effort will soon be made that is to have for its object the detection and prosecution of those dealers who sell oleomargarine to customers who ask for butter and pay butter prices for the chemical compound. which is in every sense Jess desirable than the pure product of the cow and the butter-worker. Tue Star yesterday directed attention to tbe fact that a local pro- duce exchange is about to be organized here and that one of its first duties will be the en- lightenment of the public as to the tremendous amount of oleomargarine which is being disposed of in this city. Now, there is nothing wrong in either the sale or purchase of oleomargarine provided that seller, purchaser and consumer are all fully aware of the character of the ani- ‘mal fat which they, respectively, vend, buy and consume, but when deception is practiced to the end that profits accrue, then the truth should, through some means or other, become known toall men. In an interview published in yesterday's Stax a leading produce merchant said that a number of the large hotels in Wash- ington use oleomargarine on their tables and that almost all of the restaurants make use of this cheap substitute. The reason for such duplicity is purely financial. Oleomargarine is, it is said, sold by the tub as cheaply as fiftcen cents per pound, and if placed on the table when fresh is said to look and taste as wellas pure butter which at retail sells in tion to handle goods at a profit of more than one hundred per cent cannot be otherwise than demoralizing, even in the case of men whose inclinations are toward honesty, and as a con- sequence the public is being cheated by those to whose keeping much of the public health is intrusted. In neighboring cities these rascals ave been exposed and several of them are sub- jects for trial on grand jury presentments. Sumilar action should be taken here, and with all possible speed. There is no reason why the authorities should wait until a produce ex- ebange is organized before action be taken against those who fraudulently deceive; who abtain money under false pretenses. Oleo- \gton is in a far bet- | edents simply to obtain control of a few offi- Senator Lamar was emphatic. He ‘e were called here for the purpose of adjusting our relations with foreign nations nd confirming appointments nominated by | the President. This, and this alone, is the business for which this body was convened.” | Other democratic Senators gave expression to similar sentiments and when the long debate came to an end it was decided to let the matter of offices go over until the regular session. In April, 1881, the employes were democratic, so democratic Senators naturally objected to a change. Now the c ones are waiting to see whether precedent will exert as powerful an influence as it did twelve years ago. | —<+-6-o———__—— | No thonghtful person need be surprised at the unlawful conduct of a number of colored citizens who lynched the brutal murderer of @ colored planter at Nitta Yuma, Mise. There are no novel features in the story, and it can hardly be said that the already malodorous reputation of the state for such unwholesome conduct bas acquired additional stench through this hap- pening. A desperate criminal was taken from the hands of the cheriff and after being hanged served as a target for many bullets. Discussing this incident —notable only because all the parti- ats were colored—the Baltimore Sun says, philosophically, that ‘lynching is not, itappears, @ matter of race prejudice.” The conclusion | is doubtless correct, so far as it goes, but it is | unfairly superficial. Such conduct by Mis- sissippi negroes is not the result of prejudice, it (is the offspring of example—the full-grown product of a crime that will cause endless trouble to the communities in which it bas been and is being fostered. The negro race in ite effort to secure complete emancipation is imitative, and it would be ex- ange if this faculty should be ap- Flied only to the virtues of the white man. At all times and in all places the In-vJess Caucasians of the south have lynched without let or hin- | drance, and now we areaffordeda practical illus- tration of the force of example. “Whatsoever | @ man soweth that shall he also reap. ——__+eo |_ The people whom the New York police have been after will no doubt note with a good deal | of satisfaction the persistent manner in which Dr. Parkhurst is after the police, ——— The persistent manner in which the French ministry totters affords another indication that that country has one of the worst cases of moral malaria on record. ——__ +2 With the ex-office holders and the men whose private business prevents them from being ef- ficient postmasters out of the race, the field of selection contracts considerably. ——_+ «2 —___ Congressman Bourke Cockran has announced that while in Congress he proposes to devote himself to national affaira.

SHOOTING STARS. “How do you like your alarm clock?" asked the jeweler. “You didn’t seem pleased with it at first.” 0, But it's broken now.” “Yes, sir,” said the young man, “I want to work for the government.” “Ob!” said the Congressman, his face bright- ening, “I didn’t get things right at first, I thought you wanted an office.” “Dab's many a man,” said Uncle Eben, “dat toils patigntly up de stairway ob fame des foh de sake ob slidin’ down de balluster ter ob- scurity.” said the railway ticket agent. “Move on!” "was the repiy. “That's phwy i'm sthandin’ aroun’. The boss towld me to get a round thrip ticket.” ‘So you say Professor Guiffins expressed a great deal of interest in me,” said Miss Passeigh witlf a little flutter. “He seems like a very dis- tinguished man.” “Yes,” replied Miss Cuttins, “he is a cele- brated antiquarian.” The promise comes of balmy days When man once more will dare To give the moths a chance to graze Upon his winter wear.

In 18%] Senator Beck, in debate, de- @ared that “except once, in 1853, when it was thought to bean easy way to get rid of a ser- geast-atermus against whom there were cl:arges, ‘thst officers of the Senate never were removed Stam executive session, and as I showed @areago, even in 1361, in revolutionary times, ‘When republicans were charging that the ofticers @f the Senate were wha called rebel, many @f them placed in position by men who bad Ieft the Federal Union with their states, and when they were heaping all scrts of epithets pon their heads fur their conduct, so steadily did they even then adhere to the traditions of the Senate that they would not remoze one of the Senate officials at the executive session allied by Mr. Lincoln oa the 4ta of March of fest year.” Senator Garland eoatrivuted an Optsiva to the effect that it had not bees sen sterial custom to chacge its officers at en @xscutive session. “It has done 0,” ae said, “atextra sessions of Congress asa metter of Trolley-1 People look on it with dread, Trolley-lat If it lingers in the town It will bring the census down Toa minimum, ‘tis said, ‘Trolley-lat ——— Martyrs to Fashion.
