NOYES — THE EVENING STAR has a regala: permanent circulation in W: m three times larger than that of any other paper. As a News and Advertixing Medium it has | mo competitor. Letters to THE STAR should be so addressed, or to the Editertal or fess Department, according to their character or purpose, not to any imdi- With the citizens of East Washinc-on, from the Navy Yard to Eckinston, united In behalf of the abolition of grade crossings there is no reason why Congress should not at its next session be persuaded to d me- thing for the relief of business interests that now suffer and in behal? of people whose lives are daily threatened oy an evil for the existence of which there is no ex- tuse. It is now almost two years since the Baltimore and Ohio railway company pub- licly acknowledged the undesirwwie ard) @angerous character of its trackase sy tem within the District of Columbia, and agreed to so revolutionize things «s to make Dossibie the entry and exit of its trains on & solid masonry viaduct that should run | from. a convenient point in the suburbs to | the site of the present depot. Representa- tives of the company expressed ‘o nembers of the national legisiature and to others interested in the welfare of the nation's capital the willingness of the corporation to do all that could reasonably b= required of it, but up to this time not a singie Promise has been made good. In days gone by efforts to solve the steam | railway problem. have suffered. inconveni- | ence, if not actual defeat, because there was disagreement among citizens as to what was the proper thing to be done. Those @ifferences no longer exist. Presenting a solid front and eager to remove the barrier that separates them from the resideats of other sections of the city, the people of East Washington cannot but impress Con- gtess with the justice of their cause. They deserve suceess and will have the hearty support of The Star, which has always voiced popular sentiment when the citizen and the corporation have been pitted against each other. The Star is especially Interested in this movement, because it seeks to adapt to Washington's xecessities the Berlin via- duct system, which was pictured and de- seribed and warmly commended for local use several years ago in [ts columns. —— one The substantial character of real estate Investments in this city has been evidenced beyond question by their condition through- out the past few months, when almost every other form of investment suffered more or less depreciation. At no time have real estate values been other than remark- ably tirm, and while that condition may be due to some extent to the fact that prop- erty has not been forced on the market it is. still certain that interest-bearing money has nowhere a more secure field for operation than can be found at the na- tional capital. A few of the men who have dipped over-deeply in speculative ventures | have felt the stringency of the times, but even they, as a rule, have been able to pull through. Property has not been nor is it now offered at sacrifice prices, while bargains are as scarce now as they were whem the market was extremely active. Loans om good security are not at all difficult to negotiate and this fact shows great confidence in the steadfast value of Washington dirt. Other cities have suf- fered. from an extraordinary number of forced sales, but in this city they are no more common now than they were when business conditions throughout the country were more nearly normal. Quite naturally the demand for opportunities for invest- ment are comparatively few, but a slug- | gish market at this season of the. year is to be expected and is. being experienced in all branches of business. As financial con- fidence: returns to the great commerctal centers. of the country dividend-seeking capital will once more emerge from its hid- | ing: place and give practical expression to | renewed confidence in the solidity of Dis- trict of Columbia real estate. This will be but natural, for-the-capitalists will be at- tracted to the property that has best stood the strain to which all values have been subjected since last spring. The present situation in this city is many per cent bet- ter than it is elsewhere in this. country; the future.is extremely bright. ee While it is true that Congress, after much @elay, did that for which it wes called into session, it is also true that very many legis- lative days were wasted and that many valuable opportunities were not taken ad- vantage of. Among the important things that, for some unexplained reason, were left untouched. was the proposition to proceed immediately to the purchase of a site and the erection of a buildmg in which to she ter those whe do the government's printing and binding, Today, as every well-informed | Congressman knows, nearly three thousand | men and women so employed are kept by | this great and abundantly rich government in a. structure.that is too dangerous for human occupation. Again and again has Congressional attention been directed to the ccrdition of the ancient and tottering | building at H and North Capitol streets, but it seems as though the voice of humanity _ is too weak-to reach the Congressional ear, for beyond wrangling over sites Congress. has done practically nothing. It was sup- posed'that with the horrible disaster at the Old Ford's ‘Theater before its cyes the na- | tional legislature would hasten to remove the pqssibility of a greater horror. But the faces of the dead do not haunt the Con- sressional vision nor do the groans of the Wounded disturb the Congressional con- science. That there may be neither collapse Bor conflagration in the frequently con- demned printing office is the prayer of every humane man and woman, but its further occupation is simply a tempting of Provi- dence, ——_+ ++ __ Sonte.of the.freaks of the Midway Plsis- ance would be more comfortable just now if they had had Senator ‘Tetler’s forethought andyhad-brougit their winter clothes. + 2 It will probably be noted by a few cap- tious people that the President waited until Congress had adjourned before he issued | his Thanksgiving proclamation. | a Admirers of Mr, Cockran are wondering | how long the noise of the Tammany ma- chine will be able to drown the sound of his oratory. soe It seems too bad that should have ceased just th iy mar agers were beginning to get warmed up to their work. y —_-+_ 2 Senator Hill has sh. Several directions during t @ession of Cong place he exhibited Groverian sun. Of ¢. of martyrdo: ceo came jt a@dvocacy.of cloty for traditi. . in the p } tude of the premier danseuse, mS pn | ays rain rows | count in politics, you know. As a matter of pure management, his success in getting the Hudson river bridge bill through the Senate after it had gone through the House is to be commended, though some folks may be inclined to shrug their shoulders at the spectacle of the House refusing to agree to certain amendments. But the masterpiece of which Senator Hill was the author must he acknowledged to be the wonderf il trick, “the vanishing justice.” With a bang from the bass drum, the unfortunate anti-snapper who was booked to wear the robes of the late Justice Blatchford, was propelled through the trap that leads into the vasty depths of the room of the committee on the judiciary, and there he now rests. It will some day’be an interesting part of the history of the extra session to know just how the trap was sprurg, and just how much pull the senior Senator from New York, an ardent repealer, had with the senior Sena- tor from Alabama, a radical anti-repealer, | who controls the judiciary committee. It is said that fellow-feeling takes us won- drous kind. With the President as a com- mon target, perhaps these two extremes on the silver question found a soothing balm in the burial of one of Mr, Cleveland’s | nominees. ++ —___ Out of all the discussion. that nas wearied the popular ear since Congress was called into extraordinary session three months aso some good must surely come; some great truths must have been made plain; some | ignorance dispelled. Seeretary Morton un- doubtedly voiced the sentiment of the :ore responsible people of the United States when he, in an interview published in yes- terday’s Star, said he hoped that as a result of the long Congressional debate there would be a weakening of the paternalistic idea and that men would no longer seriously re- | gard the government as a house of refug2. “In a country like this,” said the Secretary “where the entity called government is composed of the individuals who are citi- zens of the country, it is about as senmble for them to look upon their own government as a father to them as for a son to erdeav to establish by legal evidence “hat be is his own father.” That puts the case <o piainly that not even the populist—odd as his n:en- tal organization is—can misunderst11d ‘The government has its uses and its cutie: it is powerful so long as it is nonestly ad sanely conducted, but as the sgricuitural member of the cabinet remarked, it “‘can- not stamp a piece of metal that js worth sixty-eight cents and by that act make {t worth one dollar.” The Secretary veeded not to defend his opposition to the free coinage of silver, but as his defense was of the easily understood: and aggressive: v iety its publication may result in gvod. “If,” said he, “I have a twenty dollar gid piece, and in some way the stamp of the | government becontes obliterated; I can: get twenty dollars for its bullion, But if twenty silver dollars were crushed put of ail re- semblance to money under the weight of a railroad engine, for example, che mass of metal would be worth to me about half what it was before the accident occurred. Before free coinage is established there must be more of a parity between che bull- ion and the coin value of silver.” An@ all the sophistries that cam be evolved in Coior- ado and Kansas must, so long as the ma- jority of Americans are sane, ‘ail to upset even one end of that argument. ——_ + e+ — There died in Philadelphia on Wednes- day a man who was but little short of be- ing famous and who orly escaped notoriety by as narrow a margin—a strange com- bination of the manly physical and the poetically refined, by name Daniel L. Daw- son and by occupation iron founder, poet, lecturer and pvgilist. A young man—only thirty-eight—and yet his reputation in the four-named lines of endeavor was thorough- ly established. A deeply interesting sketch of the deceased, printed in the Philadelphia Times, displays a character that was prob- ably unique. With a watchful pair of eyes on his great business interests he wrote rhyme that was more than verse and then while litterateurs were praising his truly poetic productions he would indulge in his favorite recreation of pugilism, having no care for what the world that knew him thought or said. It is. recorded of him | that he was victorious in many of his-con- tests with prize fighters of considerable note and he was probably the only amateur in the country who puzzled John L. Sullivan | for four three-minute rounds; something he did within a week after writing “The Seek- er in the Marshes.” One day’s business will give a condensed sort of.an index to Dawson's character. One-mornirg he went over to New York to give his foreman and | workmen some instructions in carrying out a contract for building a creosote factory m Harlem. In the afternoon the Authors’ Club gave him a reception and his latest poem was the topic of discussion. Later | he- went to Sheepshead Bay to see his famous steeplechaser, im a race there. In the evening he lectured on “Norse Mythology” before a select lit- erary audience; and afterwards before-the New York Athletic Club he whipped their | champicn amateur middie-weight pugilist. Surely he was an extraordinary man. —_—__ + e+ Just now there seems to be demand for the formulation and publication of‘an ad- ministrative policy in the matter of morals. An appointee in the consular service—an official of high rank—who was about to depart for his post has been called back to this city from San Francisco to explain to the Secretary of State why he should have tried to evade the payment of a tail- or’s bill. Critically-inclined people may try ta say sarcastic things about Secretary Gresham because of his action in the in- terest of what old-fashioned folk insist on regarding as the commonest sort of hon- esty, but the Secretary is right. The ad- ministration consists of many units and if any of the particles are off-color or odorous they cannot but affect the whole body and make it more or less discreditable. In the Treasury Department a case hag also de- veloped to which an attempt has been made to apply the principles of an administra. tion code of morals. An unmarried female clerk is alleged to have alienated the affec- tions of a married man and to have per- sisted in her association with him to such an extent that he has deserted his wife and family. Secretary Gresham has done the right thing and it is quite probable that Seeretary Carlisle will do likewise; and from their action a fair idea of the admin- istrative policy in the matter of morals mz,y doubtless be gained. . 0 Among the claims to popular cratitude which will surely receive though ¢ful con- sideration are those now in: <jder Senators who did not talk meh, power! from , Yt who ful sight of thiyking.

The adjournment of the extraordinary ses- sion of the Fifty-third Congress, after it had passed the bill repealing the silver pur- chese act of 1890, was the political event of the week, and it was followed by the rapid scattering of legislators to their homes, many of them to prepare for the elections which take place next week in thirteen states, viz.: New York, Ohio, Iowa, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, New Jer- sey, Massachusetts, Kentucky, Missouri, Nebraska, Wisconsin and South Dakota. The world’s fair closed quietly, the entire Program having been changed because of the murder of Mayor Carter Harrison. Re- liable statistics show that 21,477,212 people paid for admission to the fair grouads, and it is stated that when all debts are paid there will be more than a million dollars to distribute among the stockholders. Many cranks have forced themselves on public attention during the past few days, the first and worst of them being a man named | Prendergast, who shot and killed Carter Harrison last Saturday evening; since that crime there have been not less than a score | of other blood-thirsty and ill-balanced. per- sons who have achieved notoriety and ar- rest. Revelations as to the instability of several of the new cruisers caused consider- able disturbance in naval and other circles; plans for remedying, the recently discovered evils have already been made and will soon be employed. Edwin 8. Uhl of Michigan has been. nominated and confirmed as ae assistant secretary of state, while the v. | BE. B. Bagby of this city was elected chap- lain of the House of Representatives to fill the vacancy caused by the death of the Rev. Dr, Haddaway. In Other Lands. Riffs and Spaniards are stil! pounding at each other in Morocco. The Spaniards have suffered defeat at least once, and Gen. May- allo, who was at the time of his death leading the Spanish troops, has been killed. It is expected that Spain will make a tre mendous effort for victory within the com- ing week. England is considerably worked up just now because of the finding of a large bomb under Westminster Bridge; the | appearance of the missile just when Eng- | lish boys are about to celebrate the anni- versary of Guy Fawkes’ infamous attempt to blow up the houses of pari.ament nas’ giv- en rumor many additional wings. In view of the fact that there has beea an extra- ordinary increase in divorce cases in Eng- jand two additional judges have been ap- pointed to hear and decide such suits in London. Suffering among the British poor due to the long continued coal strike is now on the increase. English effort in | South Africa to bring about the defeat of | the Matabele—a warlike tribe inhabiting the Mashonaland country, seems likely to sue- ceed, for it is understood that King Loben- | Sula is in the hands of. his pursuers. The | czar of Russia has issued an ukase increas- ing the army of his empire 150,000 men, who are to be organized into fifteen reserve brie gades; this action following so closely after the demonstrations of extreme affection be- tween Russia and France is regarded by many as most significant. Germany is en- deavoring to help Italy out in the matter of financial calculations and Maly undoubt- edly needs help, for the kingdom of Hum- bert is on the verge of bankruptcy, with a cabinet in which there is but little popular | confidence. Socialism received a consider- | able set back in the Swiss elections, the | socialistic party having but one national representative in the national conference, which consists of 147 members. The revolu- tion in Brazil continues, and up to this-time the insurgents, led by Admiral Mello, have succeeded in preserving their blockade of Rio de Janeiro. The Brazilian government has during the past week purchased quite a number of war vessels, or rather of mer- chant vessels, which can be adapted to the purposes of war, of firms in New York; the vessels are now being equipped for service and will leave for Brazil as soon as possible, Within the District. Business prospects seem to be steadily improving and there is promise of increased activity in all those lines of endeavor that may be operated during the winter season. Liquor dealers and temperance advocates are much interested in the liquor license question and the former are considerably troubled because the attorney for the Dis- trict has decided that under the new law no liquors may be sold by applicants for li- censes pending action on the applications by the license board. The validity of Judge Kimball's title to deal out justice was affirmed by the superior court and that same court, through Judge Cole, decided ad- versely on the application of counsel for the release of John Shea, convicted of the ille- | gal sale of intoxicants. ast ‘Yashington citizens are preparing to urg2 upon Ccn- gress the abolition of grade crossings by elevation of the Baltimor? and thio Com- | Pany's railroad tracks.
