That it needs tearing is a fact TLL il He RY y ie pregett Regchee should see help from a generous Congress, for railroads often get what they want from that august body when private individuals and cities fall. If the bridge were across some insignificant creek out in the woods it would be @ magnificent structure of gran- ite and iron, but as it only spans the Poto- mac at the nation’s capital it may remain us it isan eyesore and a constant menace im ice every time there is a little spring freshet. — +e Many matters of importance demand, sufficient money for the erection of @ new Government Printing Office building. To day there are not less than twenty-five hundred men and women who toil in ¢ structure that for the most part is « na tional disgrace; an iily-ventilated pile oi bricks and mortar that would have col lapsed long ago but for the forest of prop: and braces that add at once to the stabili ty and to the danger of fire. Public Prin. ter Palmer has done his utmost to render the building as nearly safe as it may be— has cut new stairways and widened old ones, so that exit would be less difficult— ut not all the devices of architect and Dulider could muke the present building se- cure or healthful. There is urgent need for action. Session after session has listened to debate and witnessed the obstructive lobby- ing of those who insisted that the govern- ment should purchase their property at prices far above reai values, and who un- fortunately had allies in both House and Senate. It is sincerely hoped that humani- ty will no longer be choked in an effort to pay off old political indebtedness, but that the proper committee will at once be au- thorized to select a site and direct the pre- luminaries of construction. Washington ha: had more than enough of collapsed offics buildings. ——____+ +e —_____ Lucien A. Holmes is dead. It is quite Probable that to even the cosmopolitan population of this city he was entirely un known for he was a telephone lineman who resided in Mobile, Ala. Mr. Holmes died yesterday and had he departed this life in the old-fashioned way no comment would have been made by those who knew him not, but as he came to the ead of his days through the hasty absorption of an overdose of electricty conveyed by one of those harmless trolley-wires he has schieved painful and unsatisfactory dis- tinction. The trolley combination has al- ways insisted that the current employed was rather healthful than otherwise in spite of the fact that men were every day being Killed who came in contact with tne wires. All manner of excuse has bee: made and with extraordinary asscrauc: the people have been informed that suci unfortunate {happenings would probably never occur again, but they keep coming right along. Holmes was climbing a pok to repair telephone wire and im so doing touched @ guy wire which an escaping trolley current had charged. He died in stantly. If Washingtonians do not wan: to add GSthe perils of daily life they wil do their utmost to resist the troliey com bine in its efforts to secure possession o! this city’s streets. ———_~+++___ While the United States is fighting within itself as to the rights and wrongs of taritt legislation there is a tariff war in Europe which will do much to shape the policy of this administration as to import duties and that may easily result in vast additions to ur stores of gold bullion and coin. “The peace of Europe,” a hackneyed and yet far from meaningless phrase, has for some mouths been more or less imperiled by ti: frieWon generated in the Russo-Germur tariit war, and the situation is not improv ing in any particular so far as Europe i concerned. There was a time, and not su long ago.when Russia and Germany we: engaged in mutual endeavor to negotiate commercial treaty which would strength their materiai relations to such an as to practically make them allies und ail circumstances. Russian and Ger: diplomacy did its utmost, and for awhi there was promise of profitable harm. But just at te time when cS appeure most hopeful there was clever interference France saw the disadvantages which wouid haturaily result to it from such a joining « hands, and, aided by many of Russia most powerful politicians, succeeded in co: Vineing the Russian authorities that th propositions made by Germany would 0) erate only to Germany's advantage. \ Batural result was a marked and tn sor Fespects extraordinary increase in Russia’ demands and a growth of stubbornness © the part of Germany. Then negotiation Wee no development ot il-feeling was no devel it of many discovered that While it wes failing to secure what it deemed to be reasonable concessions Russia concluded a treaty with France on terms the ike of which were re- fused to Germany, and then slapped Ger- many’s face very hard by assessing max!- mum tariff rates on Germany's every ex- port. That called for retaliation, and Ger- many increased the duty on all Russian products an even fifty per cent, whereupon Russia piled fitty per cent on ite already fi i I I i FER ii § ze FH 8g QE el Gre i Ey cyte npBe if i : FH i i k BE g I 8 4 R ‘Would it not be a righteous thing for the House committee on appropriations, as soon ‘as it ts organized, to report favorably a lib- eral The uncontrollable trolley-car—for the introduction of which to this city efforts derous trolley in Brooklyn. -———_~+-+___ The white caps of Kentucky and West Virginia are being Dursued.
