NOYES = - eee THE EVENING STAR has a regalar and permanent circulation in Washing- re than th than that of any other p: News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7 Letters to THE STAR should be so addressed, or to the Editorial or Basi- ess Department, accord: to their character or purpose, not to any indi- vidual connected with the offic: Surely there is immediate need for care- ful revision of the District laws. Never @id any community carry such a mixed up end cumbrous statutory burden as has been borne here for nearly a hundred years. Our Building regulations come from many sources and are confusing in the extreme. Some Bre founded on the English common law, Dthers are of Maryland origin, many are Congressional, directly or indirectly; more than a few were the handiwork of the leg- Islative assembly that was once a local power, while the balance owe their exist- nce to the erudition of the corporations pf Washington and Georgetown and the Levy Court of the District. Antique, in- volved and contradictory as many of these jaws are they might continue to serve their purposes reasonably well for a time were they all in one volume, but no such collec- tion is as yet in existence and when it, through the energy of the commissioners now at work, does make its appearance the necessity for revision will be more ap- parent than ever. Five times have there been efforts to codify or revise, but each In tts turn failed, principally because the ruling power—Congress—failed to give the recommendations tt had authorized the force and effect they needed. Elsewhere in The Star will be found an interesting article on the District laws in which is set forth at length much information as to the at- tempts at aggregation made during past years and argument in behalf of revision. A strong point fs made in favor of elision and revision by the submission of a speci- men of English statute still in force here. Of such as this it is well said that in their present form they are unsuited to publica- tion and general distribution among the people; that “placed side by side with the legislation of the present day, as they would be in a cede, their incongruity would painfully appear. Most of them, especially the more ancient, ere expressed in terms now unintelligible, and are involved and complicated in style, and all of them are imeumbered with needless preambles and repetitions.” This idea was advanced by Thomas Jefferson when he was engaged in revising the laws of Virginia. He then said he thought it would be useful “to reform the style of the later British statutes and of our own acts of assembly, which, from their verbosity, their endless tautologies, their Involutions of case within case, and pareathesis within parenthesis, and their multiplied efforts at certainty, by saids and aforesaids, by ors and ands, to make them more plain, are really rendered more per- plexed and incomprehensible, not only to common readers, but to lawyers them- selves.” What is probably an accurate corh- pilation is now nearing completion. For almost four ani a half years the slow task of research and record has been going on, and when December comes the great mass of information will be laid before the Su- preme Court of the District. Congress should hasten to give the authority of law to a careful revision of the collected stat- utes. ——_++____ Benjamim Disraeli, than whom no shrewder politician ever lived, once said that “the secret of success in life, is for a man to be ready for his opportunity when it comes." Thousands of human beings who had im them the elements of greatness have gone down to their little tombs “unwept, ‘@nhonored and unsung.” because they have falled to recognize their respective oppor- tunities. Moving along with great rapidity and almost here is an opportunity such as but infrequently makes fts appearance. It belongs to Vice President Adlai Stevenson, and may be grasped only by him. A sena- tortal minority that threatens belligerency aud hints at assassination, defies the ma- jority, paralyzes business and obstructs every effort to legislate in favor of national honesty and financial healthfulness. More than one half of the Senate favors uncondi- tional repeal of the silver purchase law of 1890, but the tactics adopted by the minor- ity—possible only because the Senate's rules are antiquated and absurd—have made the majority as great a laughing stock as the minority is the subject of objurgation. The delays have been manufactured with the aesistance of that miscalied something termed “senatorial courtesy,” but further extension of filfbustering should speedily be made impossible. Sendtor Voorhees has in- troduced a common sense resolution de- signed to remove obstruction after reason- able debate. In the passage of this resolu- tion the Vice President can be most influ- ential, or, by an untimely display of timid- ity, he may assist in its present defeat. He wili not deem tmproper a reminder as to the Latin proverb which has it that oppor- tuntty can only be captured by her scalp- lock; ‘behind she is bald, and if she is suf- Yered to escape, “not Jupiter himself can catch her again.” —___ +42 Baltimore has had but brief experience with rapid-transit on its streets yet thirty- four lives have been sacrificed by the swift moving cable and trolley cars. That some of these killings would have occurred any- how—no matter how many safeguards ex- tsted—will be admitted, but it is certain that | many lives might have been, would have been, saved had the cars in question been equipped with proper fenders. This truth has at last been impressed upon the Balti- more mind, is written there in letters of blood. In that city the municipal authori- ties, the street car companies and the public generally are all actively interested in seek. ing and finding a fender that will not ride; over and cruelly mutilate those who are un- fortunate enough to come into forcible eon- tact with ft. Im Washington there is also pursuit of knowledge as to fenders, but it is a Gignified, sedate sort of a chase that can onty be successful ff the fender will stop of its own accord and permft the pursuers to catch up. We have had fewer deaths from collision than our neighbors in Baltimore— @ gratifying fact due probably to the greater width of our streets—but our total is much two large. The so-called fenders now used &re of no value; they are not decorative nor | passed away during the week were Charles | paces pagename Gnade @o they serve the purpose implied in their Ramee. ——__ +e A few conservative and estimable citi- wens bave been somewhat scandelized by the Senate's descent to physical argument and are properly horrified because there is popular movement toward having the Mitch- | eli-Corbett engagement come off in the Sen- ate chamber, but what do they think of the assassimatory statements of silver Sen- ators wko openly prophesy the sudden de- ease of the Vice President should he pro- | ceed to conduct his presiding business in a businesslike way? ——- wen It 4s highly probable that the only physi- @2l danger that exists for the Senate's Presiding officer is the danger of being | talked to death. os Whether repeal of the silver purchases be postponed to July, 1861, or January, 18%, er a later date, any ess h post- ponement oy guondam repealess gives the | lie to the contention, so recen warmly urged. that t direct and present cause of the stri and panic now existing, which must be im- mediately removed in order to secure speedy relief. Legislation which postpones the cessation of these pur s for months or a year or two years with t avowed purpos the nation an the interval w » purchases shall @ease even at that future date will be rea- sonably viewed as a declaration by Con- gress that the silver purchases are doing no immediate damage, that there was no oc- easion for a special session of Congress to sccomplish their immediate cessation, that the people were humbugged who were led to believe that the purchases had anything to do with the existing financial stringency, and thet the real causes of the present panic and distress must be sought else- where, possibly in the alarming threat to many great industries of sweeping changes in the tariff. ——__+ ++ ______ With quick appreciation of an opportunity to do the right thing the Washington Light Infantry Corps has decided to purchase and present to the United States cruiser Colum- bia a ship's bell. The gift ts worthy the donors. It will be appreciated by the navy and ts an earnest of what will be done by the good people of this city when the time comes to equip the magnificent man-of-war. One hundred and fifty Washingtonians have given the ship a bell. What will the other 250,000 do? oo It is said that eminent tragedians have declared that the most discriminating criti- cism came from the gallery gods. THis sayirg would tend to give consequence to the remark of the man who undertook to actively represent Vox Populi in the Senate gallery, and who expressed his contempt with audible emphasis. —_—— so. Perhaps some of the Senators felt kinder toward Mr. Van Alen’s monocle when they considered the spectacles they had made of themselves. ——_____+ ee. The Senatorial speech-makers have joined in the pastime of the season and gone chestnutting. ————~e=_____ Mr. Van Alen is now relieved of all ne- cessity for future social contact with mem- bers of the United States Senate. The man who struck Billy Patterson may have a successor in the man who “sarsed” the Senate.

Senatorial indifference to public needs coupled with vast respect for senatorial tra- dition has continued to occupy much of na- tional attention during the past few days. There is talk of compromise and talk of cloture, but neither has yet developed. In the House the bill extending for six months the time within which Chinese residents of this country may register and otherwise comply with the Geary law was passed with- out much opposition. Distress among the Southern people, who suffered from the recent hurricanes, is being relieved rapidly. Yellow fever continues to afflict the dwellers in and around Brunswick, =. in one day | Penton new cases having developed; there has been, however, decrease in the number of deaths. Ratlroad accidents have been ae and local storms have caused le damage. New York was the scene aaete & $4,000,000 fire.

U, and the nineteenth annual con- | vention of the American Bankers’ Associa- tion, all at Chicago; the first a con- ¥ention of the Brotherhood of Rallroad Trainmen - —— the fourth annual en- campment of the Medal of Honor Legion at New York and the supreme council of Scot- tish Rite Masons at St. Louis—the latter to elect the supreme grand commander.
