NOYES. = THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation nearly double the combined circalation of the other Washington dnilies. As a News a Advertising Medium it has no com- petitos. t7 Im order to jd delays, on eount of pers: absence, letters THE STAR should not be addressed any individual « cted with the of- fice. but simply to THE STAR. or to the Editorial or Business Department, according to tenor or pone. ‘The declared opinion cf District Attorney Birney that the passage of either of the Dills now before Congress, respecting rac- ing in the District, would open the way to eOntinuous racing here, with all its at- tendant evils, for nine and a half months of the year, should warn Congress to give careful consideration to the wording of these measures before passing upon either of them. While it is doubtless true that the people of the District would generally approve provision for legitimate race meetings of reasonable length conducted in the proper seasons, it is equally true that there is no demand, except from the gambling element, for the enactment of any law which would make possible an abuse of the privileges granted, by the establishment of a season of continuous Facing between the open dates; viz.: from March ist to December 15th. No one seriously believes that Congress would in- tentionally be a party to such a deplorable arrangement. A racing season opening March Ist and closing December 15th ap- Proaches winter racing. The experience of past years has demonstrated that there is no demand for more than a spring and fall racing season here, and experience has also demonstrated that, unless supported by the pool room element, without regard to those who care for racing, race meetings more than two or three weeks long are unprofitable at any time of the year. ‘There seems to be no necessity whatever for a racing season which would pe-mit more than a few weeks of the sport in the spring and in the fall. As racing on the big outside race tracks ‘begins May 12th and closes October 15th, and as the months of March and December are clearly unfit for legitimate sport, would it not be well fo amend the bills by providing that racing should be conducted only between March Bist and May 15th, and October 15th and December Ist, and that no one racing association shall conduct a race meeting either in the spring or the fall of more than eighteen days? tee The New York Times appears to be very much worried because of the course which is being taken by Senator Gorman with Feference to tariff legislation. The Times complains that Senator Gorman “can ap- Parently see no reason why Senators in- terested in coal mines, or having friends 80 Interested, should not block the pro- gress of a measure, the which is of the greatest importance to the business of the whole Union in order to get advantage for themselves.” Senator Gor- man represents in one branch of the Na- tional Legislature a state that is deeply in- terested im coal mining, and as a repre- sentative of that state and of its commer- ¢ial sentiment he is doing what he doubt- less conceives to be his duty when he en- deavors to obiain for his constituents the best possible legislation. He, in common with very many other Americans, is satis- fied that American coal should be afforded its share of protection under the conserva- tive and protective measure known as the | Wilson bill. It is possible to impuie selfish, personal motives, whatever action concern- ing the coal tariff a legislator may take. If it be a virtue to advocate free coal, so that several Americans of prominence may acquire wealth by the possession and opera- tion of coal mines in Nova Scotia, why should it be a crime for Senators to defend the interests constituents have ———__ + «+ — It was probably a sarcastic individual who made the suggestion that the property own- ers living along Connecticut avenue and in the vicinity ought to make a protest to the Commissioners against the proposed car-| Flage parade on the White Lot. Connecticut avenue is the recognized show place for so- @ety, whether on foot or in carriages, and the selection of another drive will, it is held, work @ positive injury to property aleng that thoroughfare. dezvous leads to the desertion of Connecti-! cut avenue by the gay cavalcade of society, | then the question might arise as to whether | dvantage of | the change works to the di the property. Should a depreciation in val- ues set in or one be feared, then it is sug- gested that the Commissioners be called upon to put on the brakes and prevent the further downward descent. It will possiply be argued that as society has used the ave- nue for so many years for the purpose of taking the alr in good company, and indi Viduais, in full knowledge of that fact, have Purchased property along the avenue, that @ sort of vested right has been created. In So many directions in these days are the natural rights of man limited that it would | not be surprising perhaps to a good many worthy citizens if the course and direction of their daily pleasure drives should pe | planned for them by the city authorities. >. Gov.

The present month has been excep- tionally dry and warm, and already there is @ vast amount of the fine nuisance flying ebout the city, to the menace of the public health. This matter of dust in large citie has recently taken a more serious than ever before, as scientists of highest standing have begun to ery warning that the street-cleaning sy. of most cities need investigation and prob- able revision. For instance, Dr. T. Mitchell Prudden, who is recognized as one of the leaders in germ study, writes in the March issue of Harper's, under the caption cf “Tuberculosis and Its Prevention,” in a fashion that should make very interesting reading for every municipal officer in the United States, and especially for such ganizations as the Sanitary League of this city. Dr. Prudden advances the proposition that tuberculosis, or consumption, as it is better vn, is communicable, but not in the way ordinarily supposed. The sputum he argues, the living are held is moist, it be communicated directly of another; but as soon as the is dried the germ air as dus the i their des of the danger unde: to be met som Dr. Prudden’s careful arti e | witt illustrate this meaning: “When, as in| New York, the streets are nearly always, save for a few favored localities, filthy and | but fitfully cared for; when choking dust clouds must be encountered by the citizen in the haphazard and slatternly essays at cleaning which untrained, irresponsible or decrepit attaches of a vicious administra- | tion may deign to make—we cannot ignore a danger from street dust which may well |incite the gravest apprehension. The citi- zen can, if he must, run from the presence of cloud-enwrapped machines, furiously whirled along half-sprinkled pavements; he may avoid a block on which the hand Sweepers, in utter disregard for rules, ply their nefarious brooms over unwet surfaces, because too indifferent or indolent to sprinkle them—these things he can do if he | be not willing or ready to apply the citi- zen’s remedy for municipal misrule. There is, of course, much in the picture drawn by the author that, while it imay be painfully true of New York, can never ap- ply to Washington.

By a vote of 44 to 31 the Senate, as had been anticipated, on Thursday passed the Bland bill for coining the seigniorage on the silver bought under the Sherman act to the amount of $55,156,681. It provides for the coining of the seigniorage in ques- tion and the issue of silver certificates against the dollars thus made. The rest of | the silver bought under the Sherman act is |to be coined also, as soon as practicable, |and as fast as the bullion is coined the , Sherman treasury notes issued against it shall be canceled and destroyed, and stiver (certificates to the same amouat shall be jissued instead, The $55,156,081 thus made jis to be available ror te current expendi- | tures of the government.

ROCK= BOTTOM Prices On Furniture ~ Craig wa Harding’s. Mark these words! You will never buy Furniture cheaper than now. ‘The reasons are many, but the prin- cipal one is that the panfe of last fall caused a number of Furniture Factories to shut down, and forced them to sell their stock below cost of making.

Yet there is chat in his words that should make the authorities here watch every movement that is made by the street cleaners, and the citizens re- port every transgression of the rule that should be fron-clad and inevitahle—a the broom. The streets, by the way, are dirty enough just now to give the Commis- sioners an excellent chance to do the guod work in the most effective way. ———- +08 - In order that knowledge may be spread abroad the division of entomology of the De- partment of Agriculture encourages cor- respondence with persons who are affected with scientific tendencizs and thus it be- comes possessed of valuable information which, but for the offictal encouragement referred to, might be lost for several aecns and the progress of the world toward per- fection be retarded to that ¢larming ex- tent. One of these ~orrespondents has, doubtless without Intending to do anything of the sort, forwarded a suggestion that may result in a greater decrease of pro- fanity than could be brought about by any other converting means. In entomological bulletin No. 3, vol. 6, is the following in- formation, which comes from Massachu- setts: “I have often seen mosquitoes feed- ing on vegetable substances here. The first I particularly remember was about fifteen years ago, when I noticed that the rinds of some watermelons, which had just been removed from the table, were thickly cov- ered with musquitoes, evidently highly en- joying their dessert. Since then I hav frequently seen mosquitoes en cut fruit, though I do not think I ever saw them puncture the rind.” Here at last is Secre- tary Morton's chance, the bigy2st he has had since he commenced to advocrie the doctrine of tree-planting. Let him cease to worry over the @ppearance of Cuterebra Cuniculi as a subcutaneous bot in the do- mestic cat, let him lay aside the scalpel with which he dissects the blood-sucking cone-nose, let him no more cultivate in- ; Somnia because the Icerya Aegyptiaca has | invaded Australia, and let him now with all erudition and energy devote himself to the task of cultivating in the mosquito not only a love for vegetable fodder, but also a positive distaste for animal sustenance of any sort. Such a work would be worthy of the genius of the cultural Depart- ment and would bring to the administra- tion fame of the loud-sounding and ever- lasting sort. Hard times would be remem- bered only by ultra bilious people, financial disturbances be an insignificant memcry, the Bland bill a fleeting cloud, the tariff with its income tax provision a nightmare of the past. And for the man whose skill | changes the appetite of man’s most per- | sistent pursuer, where will we find euific- fency of honors? How most obsequicusly ; do him homage? His name shail be on the free list of every summer resort in Jersey; old men, particularly bald old men, will | chant his praises; young men exait his cog- | nomen with heart and voice; maidens sing | of his glory and with rhythmic cymbal and twinkling feet show forth their gratitude; while the boy—the small boy—who delights to go in “swimmin’” will destroy every annoying feline and refrain from sieeling his great benefactor’s fruit. And there will be songs and pianoforte marches dedi- cated unto him, and the organ grinders will | grind them into his ears without charging anything for the operation. ton should not hesitate aor halt long be- tween two opinions. Putting aside as mere trifles the plan for investigating the per- [nicious activity of the adult Peroncspora | Trichotoma, he ought at once to take off his coat, roll up his sleeves and settie down to the business of reforming the now un- overnabie hunger and thirst for hutaan | blood which is the most prominent char- | acteristic of Culex Mosquito. es > Believers in municipal reform will watch with more than superficial Interest the dis- cussion ahd action consequent upon the fifth annual message of Mayor Pingree of Detroit. In that document the mayor dis- | cusses many topicsof interest both to the general public and to the corporations with which the public does most of its business, | but special stress is laid upon street rail- road matters. With an evident desire to act justly by the street railway interests, but never permitting that desire to inter- | fere with the rights of the public, Mayor Pingree makes some suggestions that are worthy of consideration. ie would have the life of a street railroad franchise fixed at fifteen years, and insists that the city | shall at the end of that time, if it so de- sires, purchase all the property cf the com- pany at an arbitrated price. The company would not, however, have much street property to sell, for Mayor Pingree believes that the city should lay and own the tracks and should rent them to the compunies at | figures equitable and remunerative. Ex- tensions of routes he would have provided for only in a plan to be formulated by a committee of city officials ani submitted to the council for confirmation, while “all un- necessary lines, of which there are nearly ten miles, put im originally merely to shut out competition, and the mainteaance cf which is a direct charge cn the people who ride, shall be discontinued.” Sengle cash fares he would leave at five cents, but tickets should be sold at the rate of eight for twenty-five cents. Washington Coes not hope for such things for itself just now, but It would like to see Detroit (which was | modeled after this ‘city) secure some oz the benefits planned by Mayor Pingree. | ——— wee — | The religious interest that was awakened in this city during the prog: Moody meetings has not subsided. The past week has witnessed a seri2s of meet- ings in a large number of churches which are quite as remarkable ‘n their way as the great gatherings addressed by Mr. Moody. Large audiences have been the feature of these meetings, although there Lave been no “special attractions,” as they are term- ed, in the way of eloquent evangelists or noted singers. As a rule, the pastors have conducted these services unaided. It may be concluded that the preaching of “old, old story," has ever the power to at- tract and interest. soe It should be known that the raid by the this city yesterday was simply a matter of municipal business and not an expression | | of St. Patrick’s day sentiment. ———___ wee - Unless Mr. Coxey’s army of the unem- ployed makes haste so as to keep ahead of the industrial revival it may be em- barrassed with offers of work en route. a Chicago's principal Stead’s book seems to be that it does do her attainments in n not S justice. d by the scarcity Colerado is sadly a | of money and the superabundance of G¢ i Waite. thorough wetting before the first stroke of p, Secretary Mor- | ess of the/ the | @riticism of Editor | Pension Commissioner Lochren {ssued an | order removing the suspensions of pefisions which had been suspected of fraud.

The sensation of the week abroad wat the adoption by the house of commons, by 147 to 145, of Labouchere’s amendment to the address in reply to the queen's speech opening parliament, declaring for the aboli- tion of the veto power held by the house of lords. The vote was taken unexpectedly, when many members were at dinner, and was carried by the radicals and the Irish members, the government opposing the amendment. The next day, in a full house, it was in effect reconsidered and rejected. Lord Rosebery, the new premier, in a speech out- lining his policy, declared that he would fol- low in Gladstone's footsteps. He said that the house of lords was an anomaly, but he was not willing to go as far as Labouchere. Sir James Stephens, the eminent Euglish jurist, died.
