StAe. eset ‘42, 1894. poms = ta THE EVENING STAR has a regular permanent circulation nearly dou the combined circalation of the fice. but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Rw ess Department, according to tenor or purpose. Among the many reasons for public gratitude in tne District of Columbia none @re moze conspicuous at this time than that which has its origin in the friendly activity of members of Congress. When- ever the District of Columbia appropriation bill is being discussed in the House, assault is made upon the contract which binds the general government and the people of the District to a business partnership. In these contests the assailants seem con- scienceless, regarding neither the law nor the equities involved and producing sophis- try in such quantities as to cause believers In national honesty more or less of disturb- ance. During the past five or six years these attacks upon a wise statutory pro- vision have increased in violence and ap- Peared to gather strength, but the debate and action upon the bill which has just gone from the House to the Senate show conclusively that the campzign which aimed to commit the nation to a policy of dishonor has completely collapsed. The} following of those who would have the general government repudiate its financial obligations was positively insignificant, both in personality and numbers. The smallness of the various votes on motions | adverse to present conditions was gratify-| ing, not only to the people of the District | of Columbia, but also to every American who believes in the reasonable doctrine that the nation’s capital should, to a con- siderable extent, represent the nation's greatness. This diminution of the tn- Feasonably opposing forces may ratioa- ally be regarded as an effect brought about by an educational cause. In the work of instructing those who had but little in- formation as to the relationship which exists between the general government and the national capital many have partici- pated. The naming of those who de- fended the material interests of the Di: trict and the honor of the United States | remembered that the rate of travel on the could only be done by reproducing one} of the decisive roll calls, but those who are not specifically mentioned here will not offer objection if special thanks a Just now given to Representatives Hender- son of Iowa, Compton of Maryland, Gold- zier of Illinois, Coggswell of Massachusetts, Henderson of Illinois, Williams of Mlinois, Walker of Massachusetts, Outhwaite of -Ohfo, Springer of Illinois and Grosvenor of Ohio. These distinguished themselves in ,the debate which closed with the passage “of the bill. They disseminated very much be@f extremely interesting and accurate in- formation, and to their efforts may reason- ably be ascribed the majority by which the | bill went through. But the measure itself i ‘still very far from satisfactory. The| spirit of existing law is violated practically im every paragzaph, because it fails to furnish on the part of the general govern-| ment an amount equal to that which is exacted from the taxpayers of the District of Columbia. There is u-geat necessity for! many improvements recommended by the} District Commissioners, but in spite of the fact that the District has to its credit more money than is needed to pay the District's share of impzovements, the House commi tee having the bill in charge, while vigorously and ably championed the prin- ciple of the existing law, arbitrarily re- pudiated it in effect by failing to appropri-| ate an amount equal to that raised by | District residents. Some members of the| Senate Co:nmittee on Appropriations have! announced informally that they will not favor any considerable increase of the amount carried by the bill. But the Senate Committee will fail in, its duty to the government and to the people of this city i it does not insist upon a materially in- creased appropriation. Let Congress be | | just. —_+e+____ Today Mr. Walter Wellman and the Washingtonians who have associate] them- selves with him for the purpose of journey- ing as near as possible to ihe north pole |} sand back again leave the city for New » York, whence on Wednes the start for « Burope will be made. Mr. Weill.aan's plars “have been made in to the realers of The Star, and in The Star will ve published the valuable information which Mr. Well- | man reasonably expects to a late in the course of his effort to ssive a great mystery. The people of Wasaington will be especially interested in the expedition, and there is hearty conc of expression | in favor of all the Wellman hopes. Success for which Nir.

There could not be a more ridiculous pretense. Under civil service rules a thoroughly com- petent force can easily be secured and, if President Cleveland will only do the right thing, may be retained and made more use- ful and more valuable to the government every day. Surely the heads of depart- ments have enough to do without being called upon to act as office-brokers. The broad administration of public affairs will more than occupy the time of every mem- ber of the cabinet if the various depart- mental heads would give their attention exclusively to the national welfare. But when they are compelled to give the great- er proportion of their hours to the decapita- tion or reduction of clerks who differ in po- litical views from the party in power, and the promotion of those employes who are alleged to have voted on the “right” side, many mpmentous matters necessarily are being neglected. No person should be ap- pointed to a government position who is not qualified to fill the place into which he or she may be put, and he or she should be retained so long as the public business is not neglected. Reduction in rank or dis- missal should come only when there is in- ability, idleness or gross misconduct. And when such a condition prevails it will be possible for the heads of departments to watch carefully the public interests of great importance that are now neglected because of the pressure exerted by office- seekers whose only claim for preferment is based upon services rendered, not to the people but to a party. +e —__ Chicago is having trouble with the tre- mendous crowds that daily struggle for the privilege of walking upon that city’s great thoroughfares in the business center, and all sorts of suggestions are being made to relieve the congestion. The latest proposi- tion will be readily understood by those who were at the World's Fair. A company has offered to construct a system of mov- able sidewalks, each supported on a single line of columns and elevated about four- teen fect above the streets. The scheme ts being favorably considered, It involves one fixed and two moving platforms, the latter having speeds of three und six miles per hour respectively. Six miles an hour is not very rapid motion for Chicago people, most of whom are accustomed to traveling almost as fast as that on foot when they | have a clear right of way, but it must be six-mile sidewalk can be increased by walk- ing along it instead of standing; so that a @ix-mile-an-hour pedestrian would, with the assistance of the sidewalk, move at the rate of twelve miles an hour. The rows of pillars would, of course, be more or less obstructive, but in a city like Chicago con- siderations of that sort are not very weighty. The experiment, if it is made, will be watched with a good deal of inter- —++=___ Up to this time—and the season is pretty well advanced—the peach crop has not been ruined nor have there been threats as to national shortness on ice next sum- mer, but both of those announcements are overdue.
