“ CROSBY S$. NOYES. 4 f —anonn THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. -.. February 15, 1894. = ‘THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation nearly doable the combined circalation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has mo com- petit, _—— —— te avoid delays, on ac- ef personal absence. letters THe “STAR should not be addressed any individual connected with the | fice. but simply to THE STAR, or to) _ the Editorial or Business Department, according to tenor or purpose. Ee Of the many things the District of Colum- bia really needs none are more conspicu- ousty absent than a proper office building in which the city’s official business can be ‘ transacted. For many years there has been active effort on the part of leading citizens sand associations of citizens to induce Con- » ¢ ‘ ess to make the necessary appropriations, “but up to the present time even the strong- _*est arguments have failed to result in any Practical good. Broadly, the plan of mun- 4ictpal procedure here has been to make Washington a model city, and with this idea Congress has had more or less of sym- pathy, and yet while our streets are the best in the world, our parks beaut! and many other features decidedly superior, we have had a municipal building which would be regarded as discreditable to a third-rate frontier town of twenty thousand inhabit- ants. Entirely unfit for office purposes and and inconveniently located the building row eccupied by District officials should be put to some use for which it ts adapted and a mew structure erected in a central location for the occupation of the Commissioners and their subordinates. But the incon- venient features of the house on First Street are, after all, of less importance than its unsanitary condition: and that has heen established beyond question. The Commis- stoners yesterday received from a board of ‘panitary inspectors a report upon the loca- tion, ventilation, capacity, plumbinz. and other essentials, and are now sutisfled that to do otherwise than demand immediate _fongressional consideration wou!l place a “heavy burden of responsibility on their shoulders. The inspectozs called particular attention to the location of the building, a ‘which was originally a warehous:; it is “built upon what is known as “made ground,” the deposits of the city’s refuse having been there dumped unti! it was frm enough to afford a foundation. From such soil there is constant effusion of unhealthy odor—not apparent perhaps to the human nostril, but nevertheless existant and un- healthful. The inspectors say that there is no system of ventilation between the ground floor and the surface it is a fact that | this soil, coming in contact with the steam pipes, creates noxious gases which are dis- tributed throughout the building. There ts an utter absence of ventilation excep: when windows are open, and every one knows how difficult and at times how dangerous it is to attempt purification of the inner at- Mosphere by the open-window process. Toilet arrangements, too, are extremely de- fective; astonishingly insufficient and ab- surdly antiquated. With such a showing as this before them it is not at all extraordi- nary that the District Commissiners should have made up their minds to at once go to Congress and ask fo> an appropriation for @ suitable building; a structure in which the overcrowding, now common, will se impcs- sible, and where modern architecture will hich may result in so markin, assure a sufficient supply of pure air. There | ™' ro Ragerrepe is genuine economy in the proposition, and | £048 that the purchaser will know when this may be urged should the humane side of the question fail to affect the congres- sional mind. Were the District of Celumbia without a cash balance to its credit there might be advanced some reason why such a building should not be erected, but as there is a considerable surplus—which :f} e:,2@nused for some good purpose will be buried “aifor ever in the Lydecker hole-in-the- ground—there can be no solid or sensible objection. Congress by force compelled the District to partnership in the construction of that rotten and wo:se than useless aque- duct, and thus wasted more than a million dollars contributed by the taxpayers of this ¢ity. The general government will never make reparation for that injustice, but it will encourage forgetfulness of the offense if it occasionally makes affimative response to @ request made by the whole population. The District of Columbia has urgent need of a new municipal building. _ eo ‘The man who stops one on the street and asks for a dime to help him to/a night's lodging or to pay for his dinner is a prob- lem. When there are a good many of him ff town, as at present, the problem becomes an important one to the com- munity. A majority of these men are un- doubtedly professional idlers, and to give alms to them on the street only encour- ages vagabondism of the worst soft. Still, there may be rome among them willing to work and reduced to the straits of accost- ing strangers on the street to beg for food and shelter. give because of the chance of refusing help | to one who may really need and deserve it. Mr. E. D. Bailey of the Central Union ‘Mission, comes forward just now with a Most practical suggestion—one that can be easily followed, and wiil enable the char- table to aid the deserving and at the same time help rid the city of vagabonds, un- willing to work. The plan in brief is to have citizens purchase tickets for five cents to give to applicants for aid. Each ticket, with one hour’s work, will entitle the hold- o: @F to @ meal or to a night's lodging at the * Central Union Mission. To accomplish this © recipient. @ market must be provided for the wood to be sawed by this labor, and it ts sug- | &ested that this wood might be purchased and either sold or distributed by the cen- tral relief committee. The genuine tramp will not tarry long in a town where the alms given on the street can be made ef- j fective only by the addition of an hour's healthy exercise over a — by the 4 —— It was pretty well understood that if Sam Jones and John J. Ingalls ever got to- Wether one or the other would have to give in. And while Mr. Jones is recognized as a very strong man in his way the impression still prevails that he has had a very nar- Fow escape. —— 2.02 Florida is indeed an object of commisera- tion.

Such a proceeding as this, vay the Baltimoreans, would in their opinion be im- proper, for the reason that Baltimore ts also desirous of securing that same convention. ‘They claim, do these protestors, gress represents the entire country and that any Combination of Congress with Wa: ington in this matter will commit to Wash- “Ingtcn’s favor Congressmen from localities that are striving with equal earnestness to secure the crnvention. Therefore, the Chri: tian Endeavorers of Baltiunore have put) themseives in communication with Mary- | land's representative in} at Con- | in the national legis- | sussiety name fur toothache.” j of the penitentiary are open to receive him, | Many good-hearted pena | Whe have proven themselves unfit to live in * oe | very s' , for ices in Washington any more, excepting THE EVE lature, and those gentlemen will, it is sup- posed, turn loose the torrents of their elo- quence should the Christian Endeavorers of Washington decide to ask such an unholy alliance as has been indicated by the pro- testing parties. The Star does not know whether the move complained of is con- templated or not; it is really of little im- portance. If the International Christian Endeavor societiés want to abide for awhile in the most beautiful of cities, among the most hospitable of people, and in a region filled to overflowing with all that is histocic, artistic, literary and picturesque, they will come to Washington tn 1896. If they are careless as to these matters and prefer to meet where these advantages are not, they are at liberty to rally in Baltimore or Den- ver or Saratoga or Atlanta or any other of the cities or towns or villages that are now competing for the presence of this great assemblage. A congressional invitation is non-essential. —_—_~++e_____ While there is slush on the streets and Promise of additional discomfort from the cloudy skies and while miniature ava- lanches from housetops bring tears to the eye and profanity to the lips it is delightful to hear that the Dominion of Canada is go- ing to have real “society.” Through the ice-laden wires has come a rumor which has it that the realm north of the interna- tional boundary line is all-a-flutter with ex- citement over the probability of a vice-regal ; court being set up at Ottawa by the Gov-j ernor-Genezal. This does not mean that the costumes worn on state occasions will be more elaborate or that adhesive plasters will go out of style as lung protectors, but it does foreshadow the appearance of an extremely interesting feature at those func- tions which in the vicinity of Rideau Hall are termed “levees.” Heretofore when a lady was presented to the sovereign’s rep- resentative he merely shook her proffered hand, squeezing it or, not as seemed unto him best, but if the Vice-regal court ts or- ganized the governor-genezal is under bonds to chastely salute the cheek of each lady as she is introduced. Should this promised bliss materialize there will have to be amendment of the methods in vogue at the White House or all the girls will migrate to Ottawa for the social season. In very many respects we are a long way ahead of Canada—we can get much of our turnip and cabbage seed free from the Agricultural Department and our Congressional Record is a much bigger document than the debates of the Dominion parliament—but our social inferiority will be dreadfully apparent if that vice-regal court ever gets fairly started. Has Senator Edward Murphy, who 1s chairman of the Committee on Relations with Canada, been plotting to diminish tne Popularity of President Cleveland's recep- tions? Is this anothe: Hill conspiracy? ———_+ eo + The Manufacturers’ Packing and Canning Association, in session at Chicago, is in a | reat state of mind because there is gemeed | before the Ohio legislature a bill which seeks to compel manufacturers of canned goods to label their packing with the date of canning. This bill has aroused much language, and a strongly-worded protest has been forwarded to the Buckeye legis- | lators. It may be that the general public will sympathise with the association, but the probabilities are that {t will do nothing of the kind. The purchaser of canned goods | buys In the dark at the best and there is no reason why the number of his chances | for disappointment should be increased by the dubious qualities that come to food- Products with length of years. The buying element, which being in the majority is worthy a little consideration, undoubtedly iooks with satisfaction upon a proposition he buys whether the peaches, or salmon, or lobster, or what-not was canned within a year or two, or whether it antedates the in- vention of gunpowder. Most food gives evi- dence of its age, but canned food hides its freshness or its antiquity behind a veil of tin that may not be penetrated until the dealer therein is relieved of financial re- sponsibility. The month and the year should be stamped on every can, ——_~++e—___ Good citizens have every excuse for re- Joicing over the conviction of John Y. Me- Kane, the Gravesend “boss.” Politically corrupt while hypocritically endeavoring to preserve the appearance of social decency, and using religious pretense as a cloak for his real character, his conduct dis- gusted even those who were the benefi- ciaries of his pernicious industry. His Prosecution has been a non-partisan affair, democrats and republicans alike sharing in the work and expense of bringing him to justice. After a trial in which the de- fense had every opportunity to throw off the odium that is naturally coupled with the name of McKane, a jury has declared | the law breaker guilty of all that he has been charged with, and now the doors Whatever his punishment may be it will | be none too great and it is hoped by those | who believe in clean politics that some of | McKane’s associates will be compelled to| further association with him in the institu- | tion which has been provided for those the free and outside world. —_+ ++ ___ It is not the coat that makes the man, but in the case of a St. Gauden's medal the trousers are not without their import- ance. —___+ e+ _____ Mr. McKane has the courage to confess that politics was too much for him.
