4 = THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY... Jane 9, 1893. CROSBY 8. NOTES... — - THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that efany ether paper fa the city. As = lecal NEWS paper and Ad- vVertisiug Medium it has ne competiter. —————— ‘There is innocent blood on the head of that Intangible power known as the government of the United States. The miserly Congressional fingers are red with the fluid which but afew hours since coursed through the veins of active manhood. Official garments are smeared with eccusing crimson and official feet stand paralyzed ‘4m pools of clcthing and condemnatory gore. lips that will never move on this ‘earth utter cries which none but Heaven can hear. The widows and the orphans weep for ‘the husbands and fathers sacrificed on the altar of legislative economy and administrative dis- ‘Yegard. Over the whole city there is mourning for the dead, lamentation for the dying, sym- pathy for the injured. Of all the Many horrible cccurrences which this eity has experieaced none approach that awfal eatastrophe which this morning stopped the public pulse and then hastened its movements to fever point. The collapse of any building seems inexcusable and isan awful thing but ‘the falling of the floors of a structure in which nearly five hundred government employes were at work is one of those happenings that discourage descriptive effort. But the damage has been done, the crime consummated, and now comes the question of responsibility. For several years there kas practically been but one opin- fon as to the floors that collapsed and yet men and desks and file-cabinets were crowded in ‘upon them until every available foot of space was utilized. Again and again has the noto of warning been sounded, ‘time and time again has Congress been appealed to for the relief which afew wisely expended dollars would bring, over and over have prop- erly fearful clerks made publix their only too- well-grounded prophecies of disaster. And the petitions have never received a moment's at- tention from those to whom they were ad- Gressed. Condemned by every person whoknew snything as to construction, the building was nevertheless used to the extent of its capacity, not because the authorities deemed it safo but Because there was no other place in which the great clerical force could be accommodated. It ‘was a notoriously unbealthy and rotten shell, Utterly unfit for habitation and had it been ‘even reasonably strong was no place in which to confine human beings whom neces- sity compelled to work for their daily bread. In this matter Tae Stax has nothing with which to reproach itself. Never has it failed to speak the whole truth as to the rickety buildings in which congressional parsimony condemns public servants to live un- comfortably and to die without a second’s warning. In season and out of season it has argued and pleaded in the interests of common humanity, but the economists’ ears were stopped ‘up with sophistries and their judgment warped by the instincts of cheap demagoguery. The ealamity of today may be repeated tomorrow fn the Government Printing Office with fright- ful multiplication of horrors. The y sst is sicken- ing and heart bresking, the future is laden with dark probabilities. May innocent blood be shed ‘with impunity? ————_+ ++ —____ If any one should ask the captain of a Poto- ‘mac river steambeat whether he ever tried the speed of hiscraftin competition with other ‘Vessels he would proDrbly say no, but the fact Fomains, nevertheless, that steamboats do race, even on the Potomac, and that they do so when ‘they are crowded with passengers. The travel- {ng puvlic desires, as a rule, to move with safe rapidity and a large proportion of that same public is doubtless imbued with a willing- ‘ness to see all other boats left behind, but ‘those feelings may not and will not excuse the recklessness which must surely make its ap- pearance in such contests. If thero is any question as to the relative speed of excursion steamers and if it is deemed desirable to es- tablish the suprgmacy of one, let the captains or owners arrange for and have regatta in ‘Which no lives other than those of the crews will be endangered should @ boiler or two de- ‘velop weakness. foc aetaanl Ape nee ee Safety in building bas beon a constant ery, pot only in this city, but throughout the whole country fora long time. One catastrophe after another has pointed out the necessity of pre- caution, and yet, timo after time, helpless peo- ple perish horribly through the lack of ordi- nary foresight. Washington has been warned, but the warning was unheeded. In cases where individual greed causes employes to be kept in unsafe quarters the indifference can be comprehended; but with a government charged with the welfare of the people and Possessed of great resources there is small ex- euse to be found. The building which fell today was so old that the most casual contem- plation of it was sufficient to arouso suspicion. A careful inspection must have confirmed such suspicions, and the events of the past pointed «0 clearly to the dangers in this direction that it is hardly possible that this pitiful and awful disaster can go the way of so many of its kind, after being marked “nobody to blame” and filed away in obscurity. ——_—_+eo—___ The great objection to the calamity howler is his deficiency as to perception. ‘There are many occasions where a calamity howl would be one of the best things in the world. But the habitual howler seldom selects them. He never raises his voice in time with the times. The practical necessities of a situation never appeal tohim. He can regulate the destinies of na- tions in theory, but when it comes tu garbage ollection or proper precautions as to buildings he is silent. There is no more deplorable speci- men of perverted energy than the calamity howler. —_es____ It is asserted in New York that the advan- tage in the cable car system will be found in the increased number of passengers that can be carried, but not in any gain of speed. The ¢rowded streets are said to make very rapid running impossible. This would indicate that the New York cable cars are conducted with » very praisoworthy and remarkable deference to public safety. ——_+++—____. Every one who was employed in the old Ford's Theater building and who escaped alive in the disaster is invited to send his or her name to Tue Star office for publication for the relief of the anxiety of friends, and for the purpose of enabling the public to learn speedily the exact extent of the catastrophe. a ‘The agreement of the railroads of the Cen- tral Traffic and Ohio River Association to ran half-rate excursions to Chicago is one of the most important steps yet taken in behalf of the world’s fair. The general co-operation of rail- wayy can do much to enable the public to enjoy the biggest entertainment there the country bas witnessed. ——_+++—____ ‘The Princess Eulaiie manages to have a good time, the efforts of numerous well-meaning but mistaken people to the contrary notwith- standing. oe More deaths in this city will be charged to Totten buildings than to cholera or any other amie 1a The old theater has indeed a bloody record. —_—_—_$_soo————— One lesson to be drawn from the dreadful disaster of this morning is the sad one that it is not only financial folly, but criminal brutality for government to be occupying for public Offices inconvenient and insecure old structures, in which employes are huddled by the hun- dred, instead of erecting substantial and well-adapted buildings in suitable locali- ties. The interest on the cust of such would be far less than the amount now paid as Teutals, while the work to be performed in C, FRIDAY, JUNE 9. 1893—TEN PAGES, them could be done much more rapidly, oom- fortably and safely than under present con- ditions. No private individual. firm or corpora~ tion that did not manage its business affairs bet- ter than government does in this respect could ce- cape bankruptcy, and no other government than ours is guilty of such bad management; and that Congress does not realize its responsibility im the premises, and bring about a reform is as surprising as it is painful. The public printing office is respectfully referred to in this connec- tion as.@ proper case to be taken up and dis posed of immediately upon the assembling of that body in September. —___+oo—____ The fire companies of this city are always to be depended upon. Their efforts in the Ford's ‘Theater disaster were prompt and able as they alwaysare. If precautions had been taken as efficiently as remedies have been applied there would have been no trouble, —_+e-_____ Paderewski was used to sell pianos with and now the princess has instituted a mild boom in cigarettes. There is truly no limit to advertis- ing possibilities, ———_——_+ee—____ It appears to be almost as dangerous for man to serve his country now in a clerical capacity us it was to enlist in the army. ———~e-__ ‘The republican ticket in Ohio can hardly meet defeat through any lack of the light of experience. ——_—_+«+_____ Some time there may bea strike based on thoroughly intelligent and justifiable grounds. ‘Such a strike might have an unsafe building as its pretext. —__+++____ In connection with “what the government has done for Washington” its Lydecker tunnel and its unsafe public buildings cannot be en- tirely forgotten. —_—__+-—____ Tt may be stated that in many sections of this country the bank crop ia a failure. SHOOTING STARS. “Cholly is very independent. He says he will never be owned by anybody. “Probably that is why he foels at liberty to give himself away so often.” ‘THE UNREWARDED RIGHTEOUS A truthful fisherman there was. ‘The world that should have prized him, In pity heard his little tale, Looked sorry and despised him. The picnic season is here and the young man no longer cares whether he can dance or not. All he needs is muscle enough to push » swing. BAS COUNTED THEM BEFORE. It was in the men’s wear department. “Have you counted those ties yet?” asked the manager. “No,” replied the clerk, “I couldn't get ye ‘Why?” “The sound of it hurt me. You see I was once out with @ stranded theatrical company.” BE WAS A TENDERFOOT. “Are you fond of music,” he asked. “Sometimes,” was the answer. “Thave some duets in my trunk. Can any of you sing at sight?” “No; but a lot of us can shoot at sight.” HE BAD TRIED IT. That tennis net the farmer spread; It seemed in sad condition. “It might be good fur games,” he said, “But ‘taint no good fur fishin’.” PASTEL IN PROSE. A wild note pierced the midnight air. It was not the first that had done so, and there was reason to fear that the air would s00n be full of holes. It was the voice of a maiden. It rose and fell in what seemed to be an agony of despair. ‘There was another sound—like the destruc- tion of a far off city; like a monster in agony. The roar and rumble increased momentarily. Then there was nothing’ heard but the shrill voice of the maiden. Nearer and nearer the startled wayfarer drew. Then he discovered the cause of his dismay. The monster in agony was an upright piano. And the maiden. Alas! the traveler could not fiy to her rescue. She could not be saved. Sorrow had entered her soul and it had come to stay. She was the girl whose stern male parent re- fused to purchase her a bow-wow. pice ndsetyhpainate SESE JUST BEFORE VACATION.

With due deference to esteemed contempo- aries and cssayistsin both branches of the press congress, it may be said that there is no such word allowable in the English language as “reportorial.” If a suffix must be added to “reporter” to make a doubtful adjective, the doubtful adjective must be “reporterial” or nothing. There is no such suffix as “orial.” There is a suffix “ial.” Sartorial—appertain- ing to the tailor—is quite right; but when we come toa final er, as in minister, the adjectivo is ministerial and cannot be “‘ministorial.” It is true the abomination is in Webster, which is a good reason why correct journalism should strive the harder not to use it and thus drive it out in due time,—Chicago Herald. patra 2 mh ae =— The Gilded Youth and His Hat. ‘The gilded youth of this country finds it necessary to tie its hat on its head with « string.
