SHE EVENING STAR = regal permanect circulation in Washington three Umes larger than that of any ether paper in the city. As = local NEWS paper and Ad- Yertising Medinm!t has ne competitor. phe season esitnaant bate astttta ps ‘With an easy grace that left nothing to Be desired the House committee on rules has receded from the position {t took in the matter of “District Day” and permits the old rule to remain in force. For this con- clusion The Star warmly contended, doing 80 because it was thoroughly convinced that the proposed amendment would work to the disadvantage of the District of Col- umbia. The House committee on the Dis- trict was also dissatisfied with the amend- ed rule and now that the old regulation is again in force is preparing to commence its legislative work. There are several sub- fects awaiting its consideration and many minor matters really need adjustment at the earliest possible moment. The good work cannot be commenced too soon, for as each session has grown older the Dis- trict's chances have become “smaller by de- grees and beautifully Jess." It was im- agined at first that no attention would be paid District affairs during the extraordi- mary session, but members of both the Sen- ate and House committees have expressed themselves as favorable to speedy action on several propositions in which the District ts deeply interested. Slowly rising to the surface, buoyed up by that hope which, al- though heartsickening if long deferred, nevertheless has many supporting qualities, is the desire for legislation which will abol- ish the many dangerous grade crossings that now hourly threaten Mfe within the city’s limits. Again and again has it been stated that the railroad companies were anxious to do their share toward bringing about this much desired improvement and, if they are still amenable to modernizing imfluences, the people of this city will be found only too willing to lend a helping hand. That there will be an authorization of vast expenditures ts not looked for by those who have their fingers on the congres- sional pulse, and, as a matter of fact, ‘Washington Is in no mood for extravagant expenditure just now, but there are a hun- dred opportunities to do real good by the immediate investment of moderate sums, and it 1s hoped that the principles of jus- tice and equity will characterize the deal- ings of our National Legislature with the people of the Nation's Capital. In the fu- ture, as in the past, consideration of District affairs will be set aside whenever anything of great public interest demands the time which réally belongs to the District, but the old rule—which has now become new— seemed to offer more obstacles to the mis- appropriation of District days than did the amendment, and for that reason those whose first care ts for the District naturally Preferred it. It is to be hoped that under its operation local affairs will receive more attention and more favorable attention than they have had during any session for the past ten or fifteen years. ———_— + es Some day the Senate and House of Repre- sentatives of the United States in Congress assembled will open their respective eyes to the fact that they are being made sport of by a select crowd of organized lunatics and then will be adopted such rules as will put an effective stop to the introduction, printing and distribution of many of the crazy propositions to legislate that now find their way to the clerks’ desks. Not a ses- sion goes by but has on its records a hund- Fed or more of the most absurd proposi- tions submitted evidently by irresponsible Persons. These products of unbalanced minds are presented with all gravity by those who have been elected to act in the national legislature as agents of “isms” that would never exist were there no aber- rated minds. The bills are printed at con- siderable expense and of course cost as much as would any sensible measures of equal length. They serve no good purpose; they detract from the national dignity, and so long as the legislative majorities are made up of sane men can never become law. How any Senator or Representative who desires to maintain an ordinary reputa- tion for common sense can permit his name to appear on the first page of bills such as have been recently introduced, passes the understanding of the average man. ——_“+ee Washingtonians are of course interested fm the United States cruiser Columbia—so named ic honor of the fragment of territory over which the general gov- ernment has supreme jurisdiction. The un- official speed trial which the Messrs. Cramp, Dullders of the vessel, have fully preparal for takes place tomorrow, and is expected to develop the fact that the Columbia fs the swiftest cruiser afloat. The specifica- tions cali for a speed of twenty-one knots per hour for four consecutive hours. For | every quarter knot over that rate made during the official trial, which comes later, the bullders will receive from the govern- ment $0,000, and unless all the calculations | have miscarried the knowing ones are sat- isfied that twenty-two knots will be eclips- ed. After a while, when the Columbia is about ready to go into commission, the peo- ple who live in this city. and who appre-/| ¢late the compliment paid the community | by Secretary Tracy when the vessel was christened, will make substantial acknow!- edgment of their gratification. Other cities in like instances have been properly Mberal im contributing to the outfit some feature at once decorative and useful. Washington will do no less. ——_—_~oo Ordinary discretion will sug: st to the} then be ordered out and would surely do their utmost to prevent any breach of the law. They would do nothing more should labor be foolish enough to assail the count- ry's good name by riotous demonstrations. The National Guard does not antagonize the workingman, a fact clearly visible to the thousands of toflers who elther hold com- missions or have places in the ranks. It has but one duty to perform, and that fs the upholding.of the law’s integrity. It has no enemies save those who see in it an obstacle | which forever blocks the pathway that leads | to anarchy. Within the National Guard— j@Rergetic, patriotic and thoroughly cour- | ageous—is the flower of American citizen- | ship, intent on so training itself that when | the emergency arises nearly 200,000 compe- tent soldiers will be ready to meet it face to face. There is murder in the hearts of thos who unpatriotically scheme to destroy the National Guard. —_++- In spite of the fact that the country Is only just beginning to recover from the disastrous inactivity of the past few months there are many signs of recovery throughout that vast region as yet but barely touched by capital—the South. The Manufacturer's Record 1s authority for the Statement that a large number of manu- facturing concerns and mercantile corpora- tions are preparing to commence business in many of the more promising localities | south of the now almost erased line estab- lished by Mason and Dixon. The number of new enterprises in the north is fully as great, and the amount of money soon to be released by the operations of investors is gratifyingly large. Generally the busi- ness outlook continues to improve. Paper mills in New England that have been idle for many weeks are running on full time; big shoe factories In New Jersey have also resumed and now give employment to as many hands as ever before; while from all over the country come cheerful announce- ments and every evidence of returning pros- perity. ———_+-++___ Miss Emma M. Converse, a woman who commanded attention as a writer on astro- nomical subjects, died yesterday at Provi- dence, R. I. Her career demonstrated that women may succeed in pursuits requiring Superior mental power, and that they can do it with very Uttle public agitation. ———+ + ____ Assistant Secretary of State Quincy has evidently reached the modest conclusion that the Massachusetts democracy needs his services more than his country does. ———_+«+ Brazil having shut off telegraph com- munication, is now indulging in the luxury of a private revolution. ——_oo___. SHOOTING STARS. Putting It Up. “What are you doing now?” “Putting up a building. “To occupy yourself?” “No; at auction.” Tt must have been very interesting to hear the Indians tell about the manner in which they discovered Christopher Co- lumbus, A Theory. “What do you understand by the phrase, ‘Profane history?” asked one young man of another. “I don't know,” was the reply, “unless somebody has been compiling comments on the weather.” He Resented It. He did not observe that there was a Sen- ator present when he remarked impres- sively: “The Senate has no right to act as if it were asleep.” “Excuse me,” said the statesman, haught- ily; “but the suggestion that we Senators talk in our sleep is, to say the least, a most discourteous imputation.” He Couldn't Pronounce Them. He was a man of, average intelligence, but when he came to some of the made-to- order words In the essays read before the medical congress he had to close his eyes = lay his weary brain against a sofa pil- low. “You are not very communicative this evening,” said his wife. “Are your thoughts too sublime for expression?” “That's it,” he replied; “I am unutterable things.” ane Ought to Be an Authority. “How ts the water traffic here?” asked a stranger, who was visiting this country. “I can’t say,” was the reply. the milkman; ask him.’* ‘The Anarchist. We're a whooping, howling, hideous horde of dynamiters bold. We are tooking for a working man to gather to our fold, For the chances ere the working man has saved a dime or two, And possibly will stand a treat—a thing I never do. "Tis the cry for bread that touches, so we raise it far and near— “We anarchists are hungry!”"— For we Must Have Beer. | What matters it if true distress the public may despise, Because its pleadings are confused with our persistent cries?
