WASHINGTON. @RIDAY............ petitor. rder to avoid delays, om ac- While it will probably not be claimed By any one that the shelter shed now being built on 15th street, near the Treasury De- partment, is an architectural adornment to the city, Senator Hale's objection to it, as formulated in the resolution he offered in the Senate yesterday is not in all re- spects well founded. That it may present “an unsightly appearance to the public” is Mkely; but that it will be “an obstacle to travel” cannot be so readily demonstrated. AS a matter of fact, che structure as such will add but very Httle to the obstruction to travel now formed by the throng of passengers constantly assembled at the point of transfer between two or more gen- erally used street railway lines. These People must stand somewhere, while await- ing the arrival of the car they desire to take, and a pavilion like the one now in course of construction will afford a wel- ome and much needed protection against the snows of winter, the hot sun’s rays of summer, and the rains of all seasons. This fs 2 point that should not be overlooked; and, bearing it in mind, The Star thinks that Senator Hale and his indignant col- leagues will, on reflection, admit that the structure as such is not to be wholly con- d@emned. e It was, of course, a grave mistake, viewed from an esthetic point, to locate a shed like that in such close proximity to a bullding of the size and style of the Treasury De- partment building, but the real ground of objection lies not in the pavilion itself, but in placing it where it is, and in the more serious fact that its erection tends to make permanent the crowding and constantly increasing congestion at a point that is now, and has for a long time past been, in sore need of relief. From its geographical position, 15th street, between New York and Pennsylvania avenues, is, and must always be, the most crowded thoroughfare in Washington. Efforts should be made, therefore, to draw from it a portion of the travel now pouring through it, instead of making that step impossible by creating mew devices to keep it there and to in- crease it in future. This is the point to which the Senator from Maine and the two houses of Congress should give their early and earnest attention and their best thought. A simple solution of the whole vexed problem was outlined in the columns of The Star some time ago, and if Congress would adopt and enforce this plan speedy and permanent relief would be secured. ‘The first and principal step in this directioa is for that body to authorize or compel the Washington and Georgetown Railroad Company to diverge its 14th street branch from the main line at the crossing of that etreet and Pennsylvania avenue, and carry the branch line due north directly from that point along 14th street to its términus at ‘Mount Pleasant. Make the transfer station @t the new intersection or divergence point thus created, and put the shelter shed now complained of on the sidewalk on the south side of Pennsylvania avenue, in front of the triangular reservation at that point, where it would serve a useful purpose, and cease to be either an eye-sore or an ob- struction to travel. But this would really be the least of the advantages to be secured by the adoption of the proposed plan. The great gain would be the removal from the crowded section of 15th street of half the number of cable cars that now use it, which would of itself jus- tify the change. Another argument in its favor is the fact that passengers on lith atreet would thus gain the time now lst im going two blocks out of the way, while those to and from Georgetown would be in every way as well off as at present. There may be sound objections to this plan, but The Star has never heard them urged, and they cannot be insurmountable or very serious, and The Star feels sure that if Congress should give the matter the eon- sideration its importance demands it or a still better one would be adopted without much delay. Certain it is that almost any change from existing conditions would be an improvement. —-— -+ +e Men who have the country’s best inter- ests at heart are hoping that Congress will sit down heavily on the Bland bdill| which provides for coining the seiniorage. Surely the nation’s financial condition is confused sufficiently without the injection of such a mischievous influence. Currency There would probably be few tears shed, and Mr. Voorhees’ committee would have Voor- peat the Lord’s prayer. The bettee accept- ed the challenge and proceeded to prove his memory by beginning: “Now I lay me down to sleep.” The other man’s face grew long as he put his hand down into his pocket for the stakes, and, handing them over, he in- terrupted with: “Here, take the money. I really didn’t think you could do it.” —————>+s—___. Yesterday afternoon the Senate “heard | With profound sorrow the announcement of jthe Geath of Hon. William Mutchler, late @ Representative of the state of Pennsyl- vania,” and, in accordance with its usual custom, set aside some of its valuable time for eulogies upon the character of the de- | ceased. First among the eulogists was | Senator Quay. He created the sensation of | the session by opening with: “Mr. Presi- dent, Pennsylvania is sorely chastened. Her furnace fires are going out. The wheels of her mills are motionless. Her farm lands are shrinking in value and passing into the hands of the officers of the law. Her labor is unemployed and in & condition of tremulous and dangerous unrest. Not many days ago some of her citizens were compelled to defend with armed hands their lives and property from ® mob of hungry men at the cost of the shedding of blood.” And then the Senator proceeded to discuss the late Mr. Mutchler. But where is the connection between sorrow for Mr. Mutchler—who was a most es- timable man—and Pennsylvania's industrial condition? It ts whispered that an enterprising Dis- trict burglar, convicted and now suffering imprisonment, has applied to President Cleveland for a pardon, on the ground that poe policeman who arrested him threatened and roughly handled his favorite second cousin on his wife's side while she was pressing to the front in the crowd that surrounded the last inaugural procession. The flattering eagerness of the young lady to catch a glimpse of the President will, it is thought, appeal to the gallantry of the dministration, and it is hoped that the President will pardon the enterprising burg- lar as a fitting rebuke of the brutal police- man. + 6-6 The Shea establishment would be on the high road to fortune if this were England, where a little attention from the govern- mental powers creates a stampede of cus- tom in the direction of the favored shop- keeper. Oe Editor Stead could not have advertised his forthcoming book on Chicago more thoroughly than he has, even if he had gone to the trouble of having it suppressed. re e—___ There may be in Governor Lewelling’s bosom a lurking hope that the investiga- tions upon which Mrs. Lease is about to enter will keep her very busy indeed. or In the eyes of nations this country has posed successfully as a model at Brazil and as a horrible example at Hawaii. ——_ +22 —___ Admiral da Gama will doubtless spend some of the time now at his disposal in editing his ultimatum. — + +e —____ It is hoped that Mr. McKane’s Sunday school class was more docile and consider- ate than his witnesses are. ——_—__+ 0+ ___ Mr. Lewelling’s effort to officially evict Mrs. Lease was entirely devoid of pathos. —> > _____ SHOOTING STARS. The Wilson Bil Dread. Forth to the Senate and back to the House; I'm beginning to have a slight notion, That I, er: \ close my eventful career, May give points on perpetual motion. “Dah am nuffin’,” remarked Uncle Eben, “like er kin’ word to er fellow bein’ in dis- tress—pervided you has er meal ticket ter go ‘long wid it.” Gossip. There's a little Kansas secret, Which falls trembling on the ear; Lewelling won’t send Mrs. Lease A valentine this year.

If the treasury needs money—and that It does seems to be generally admit- ted-It can find relief in legislation di- rectly and specifically authorizing the issue of low-interest bonds of popular denomina- tions; such as are suggested by the Cum- mings’ bill. Mr. Bland is trying, with per- sistence that would be praiseworthy were it rightly exercised, to put our finances on @ silver basis. He should not be permitted to succeed. r+ e—_— ‘The Police Court case against Mrs. Shea, which happened to be pending, was yesterday nolle prossed. In order that the course of local justice may be unembar- rassed, the President ought in some way to assure rebuke-fearing officials that the pardon of the Shea family, or rather of Mr. Shea on account of the grievances of Mrs. Shea, applies exclusively to the one offense of the past and is not Intended to guarantee immunity in the present or future. It is not the policy of the administration to an- nex or declare a protectorate over Shea’ court, though it may have seemed to indi- cate that it will not view with indifference any foreign (police) interference therein. ————_+ + + ____ Regret at the loss of the Kearsarge is not confined to naval circles. The old ship was an historic idol and although she had been repaired until about all of the original was | gone save the hatchways she was to all intents and purposes the same gallant war- ship that sunk the Alabama nearly thirty years ago. In a contest where both ships were as nearly equal as seems: possible the Kearsarge—now a hopeless wreck on Ron- cador reef—achieved notable victory and put an end to the awful havoc the confed- erate cruiser was making among Union merchantmen. It is perhaps just as well t the famous vessel should end its days in active service. ———~+ e+ —____ ‘The great wrong done to Mrs. Shea has been undone, and the monarch of Shea's Court has been restored. Lili’s Court still sighs in vain for its royal ruler, still lacks the glories of King Arthur’s Court, but Shea's Court in the expressive language of the restored royal family, is “very much in it” and “has got there with both feet.” ee The commendable effort of Senator Voor- hees yesterday to secure a proper considera- tion for religious events on the part of the upper legislative branch of the government is apt, however excellent its motive, to cause folks some embarrassment. Accord- ing to Mr. Voorhees’ calendar today is Good Friday. According to the church al- manac that solemn day will not be for six weeks yet.

There's a deep increasing stillness in the cloud that hovers near; There's a dreary desolation and a subtle sense of fear In the rooms and in the hallways where, with wildly hurrying feet, The voters and promoters go, their various fates to meet. And vainly does the loiterer seek occasion to rejoice; The place is bleak and lonely since the cuckoo lost its voice. Must you still im exile linger from the haunts you loved of yore? Must we miss you from the gatherings even till the session’s o'er? Can’t you get a few together and to some snug quarters go, And hold a little meeting, just a modest overflow? But echo answers “nevermore;” there is no other choice, We must do without excitement since the cuckoo lost his voice. —_- ++ ____ An Intellectual Skate.
