4 THE EVENING STAR, THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. cRosbY the combined circalation of the Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no co: petitor. t7In order to avoid delays, on ac- Sonat of personal absence, letters to t ne “Editorial or according to tenor Congressional objections make their ap- pearance in a most surprising fashion, and some of them appear to be without the slightest foundation in reason, but it is dificult to see how any member of the Rational legislature could possibly object to the passage of the bill which has been framed for the purpose of providing this eity with a municipal building. Senators and Representatives who are interested in District affairs saw long ago the unfitness of the structure now occupied by the Dis- | trict Commissioners and some of their sub- ordinates and have many times discussed the desirability of such action as is now being takea; business and professiqnal men who have had dealings with the Commis- sioners and the officials in their offices joined in advocating bette> conditions. For awhile it was believed that the ex-ware- house now occupied was merely uncomfort- @ble and badly arranged, but a lengthy and *long-continued sick-report gave indication of faulty ventilation and defective sewerage. The extent of the evil, hcwever, was not known until recently, when a careful and expert irvestigation revealed the existence of ample cause for all the ill-health which has been suffered by employes within the last year or two. Very properly and with- out any unnecessary delay the Commission- ers put themselves in communication with Chairman Bankhead of the House Committee on Public Buildirgs and Grounds, and he assured them of his more than will- ingness to co-operate in the procuring of a suitable building. Yesterday the Commis- sioners forwarded to Chairman Bankhead a bill which provides that they “be and they re hereby authorized and required to cause to be erected on that part of the public res- ervation fronting the south side of Penn- Sylvania avenue between 7th and 9th streets in the city of Washington not occupied by the Washington Market Company a munict- pal building, according to plans and specifi- eations therefor to be approved by sail Commissioners and the architect in charge of the Capitol and the supervising architect of the treasury, who are hereby constituted a commission to decide upon plans and specifications therefor. The cost of said building when completed not to exceed one million two hundred and fifty thousand dol- Jars, one-half thereof to be charged against the revenues of the District of Columbia.” For the sum spevified there can be erected on the site named a building that will be ereditable alike to the District of Columbia and to the general government, under whose exclusive control the District of Columbia is. A small or mean-appearing structure in such @ prominent location would be a dis- grace, and in this view there will probably be universal concurrence. Occasionally there will be heard the voice of an American who does not seem to realize that Washington is more closely related to the whole people than any other city in the land, and for a time he fails to comprehend the plan of this city’s great founder—to make it a model center of population and a thing of beauty for the whole world to admire. The passage of the biil framed by the attorney for the District should result in considerable activi- ty among the leading architects of the coun- try. More than a year ago the American Institute of Architects started out in a Practical way to improve the architecture of our public buildings, and had this organ- ization received the support it deserved it would not now be criticising the Secretary of the Treasury for failing to take advan- tage of a law that promised to result in more artistic and more comfortable public buildings. The necessity for the best has, however, been recognized by the Commis- stoners, for the bill now before the House Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds sets aside the sum of $5,000 which may be expended in premiums for the best designs and plans. This should bring forth a build- ing worthy of the city—an example power- ful enough to affect and change the appear- ance of all structures subsequently erected by the United States. The country is dotted | over with all manner of brick and stone abortions occupied by United States officials. Some of them are in Washington. There should never be another one. —o Virginia’s legislature can render to the state no more conspicuous service than the passing of any measure to bring about the complete elimination of Jackson City as it now is. There may be found the gamblers | who are not permitted to carry on their ne-| farious business in the District of Colum- | *bia, and around the tables and in front of the pool boards are clustered scores of weak men, in whose behalf the law should interfere. Of the great injury done the young men of Washington and Alexandria by the gambling settlement which Mr. Mushback will try to wipe out of existence too much could not be said. Many a prom- ising career has reached an unnatural end by reason of the temptations there so openly exposed, and many more will suffer @ similar fate unless there is a speedy ap- Deararce of a statuce that cannot be evaded | and officers of the law who prefer a good | Name rather than great Fiches. +2 It ts rather late in the century for any- * ene to bob up from obscurity and assail the soldierly reputation of Walter Q. Gresham, now Secretary of State. Gen. Gresham is Not cne of the most popular of public men, ror is he gifted with inerrancy, but that he fought gallantly to preserve the Union is one of those things that is beyond question. The record may be seen by those who are sufficiently interested to ask it at the hands of the proper authorities or listen to it! from the lips of thousands who served with | and under him. No one other than a cow-| 'd would seek to detract from the value of the military services rendered the United | States by Gen. Gresham. ———_—_-_+e<.___ The Wilson bill would be justified in ex- spertencing some emotions of jealousy in ;contemplating the career of the latest Su- fpreme Court candidate. | that they’ve opened up a factory an’ are oe The sentence which was yesterday pro-| nounced on John Y.

Quilty of one of the greatest crimes that ean be committed in a free country, Mc-| Kane apparently fatls to recognize in him- $self an evil-doer.

From the Honolulu Commércial Advertiser. Surely, history repeats itself. Queen Lil- iuokalani wanted blood in January and Mrs. Dominis wanted it again in Novem- ber. Queen Liliuokalani recanted in Janu- ary and Mrs. Dominis did the same ten months later. The royal oath was simply the breath of a false, perjured woman in the first instance, and it was nothing dif- ferent in the second—except that ft was no longer royal. We may be shocked at the bloody thoughts of Liliuokalani, while we marvel at her folly. Yet, from the psycho- logical point of view, her case is a perfect- ly simple one. She forfeited her throne be- cause she cared more for power than any- thing else, and she lost the only chance she ever had to regain it, because she had poured all her soul into the one passion of revenge. We may almost pity Mrs. Dominis now. True, she has shown herself to be cruel, revengeful and false, and altogether undeserving of pity. But has she not been sorely punished? Her vices have reacted on herself. Her falsehood cost her a throne; her malevolence cut her off from all hope of regaining it. She has been the victim | of her own evil purposes, and the pit which she digged so deep for others she has fallen into.
