4 SSS THE EVEN ING STAR. WASHINGTON TUESDAY. March 20, 1894. CROSEY s. NOYES THE EVENING STAR hasa regular and permanent circulation nearly double the combined circulation of the other Waskington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com- - — delays, on ac- letters ed fice. but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Department, according to te or purpose. It ts surprising and at the same time dis- tressing that the Senate should waste an a 2 hanges” in re afternoon in talk over the form of | ing stores sold at the “post-exc! set ca the District | order that profits sufficient to provide the real estate conveyances in while Senator Vest was sitting by help- lessly awaiting an opportunity to secure| hunger may accrue. There is no provision consideration for the much-postponed Dill providing for the new Printing Office. in this city may be profitable in committee, or at some time in the Senate when there | 4s nothing of greater importance to occupy | the attention of the legal minds of that body; but when the necessity for a new Printing Office has grown into a dangerou: emergercy and when the tariff bill is press- ing close upon the heels of the Senate, the devotion of an entire afternoon to such a debate as fills the pa of the Congress- fonal Record this morning ,seems to indi- the cate a lamentable blindness to ur- gencies of the case. As Mr. Vest w said some weeks ago, when the Printing Office bill had the right of way in the Senate, | time has come to be an element of greater i The moval of this national stigma, but there ts diseusion of the matter of real estate law, pfoposition to cheapen a great honor | plied to some useful and meritorious pur- ‘decoration only of the conspicuously gal- | nousehold words. | come will be given a niche in the temple importance in this than money. | Hundreds of human lives are daily in the gravest danger, when a few hours, or per- haps only a few minutes of hard work in the Senate would put the bill in such shape that a conclusion could be easily reached between the two Houses. Under ordinary ¢ircumstances the need of haste would not be so apparent, but added to the weil- knowp.dangers threatened by the old shell now in-use by the typographical and bind- | ing department of the Government there is the probability that the tariff bill, once on) the senatorial ways, will remain there for many weeks. to the exclusion of everything | and absorb some of the common else. To be sure there is a wide difference of opinion between the two Houses on this | subject, and the Senate proposal may not be the wiser, but should the Senate once get a bill through, the danger of a legis- lative blockade would be practicaliy passed, and the differences could well and easily be settled in a conference. There should be Ro more obstacles thrown in the way of Mr. Vest and his bill. on If Representative Stuckdale of Missis- sippi is as fair-minded a man as those who know him well have always believed him to be, he will, at the earliest possible moment, secure as much as he needs of the floor of the House and then make suit- able apology for his libelo comment on the character of Civil ervics Commis- sioner Roosevelt. Several days ago Mr. Stockdale declared to the Ho-use of Repre- sentatives and to the country seneraliy that Mr. Roosevelt was “corrupt.” A more unjust assault was never made than that, for of all the men who serve this country, either officially or unofficially, not one is more honorable, more thoroughly con- sciertious, then is Theodore Roosevelt. From the beginning of his public career Mr. Roosevelt has been a shining mark for the unscrupulous politicians of all parties and these have permitted no abusive op- | portunity to pass, but not even the most Persistent slinger of anti. il-service-re- form Billingsgate ever accused Theodore Roosevelt of anything approaching dis- honesty. Actuated oniy by principles of the highest sort Mr. Roosevelt has labored Jeng and faithfully in behalf of govern- mental cleanliness and his efforts have met with gratifying success in spite of many obstacles. Representative Stock- dale’s insult—fired from behind the im- Fenetrable btreastwork of congressional privilege—cannot injure the man at whom it was aimed, but the recoil will imjure Mr. Stockdale very considerably unless he makes prompt retraction. soe Gov. O’Ferrall of Virginia has a foeman worthy of his steel in the great gambling combiration that is now endeavoring to permanently establish itself within the cerritory over which he kas a great deal of jurisdiction. The first effort made by the gamblers since the cicsing of the Jackson City pool rooms by the Mushbach law was made yesterday, when three alleged trot- ting races were run at the St. Asaph Driv- ing Park. There the bookmakers were in ferce, end, having teiegraphic communica- tion with the various winter race tracks, dil profitable business. Decent people in Washington are thankful for the small in- crease of distance which the Mushbach law has placed betwe2n them and the so-called Face track, but the decent people of Vir- ginia will hardly be delighted at the change. There are intimations to the effect that Gov. O’Ferrall has behind him an old Statute, which, if enforced, will result in the imprisonment of every one detected gambling within the state; if such a law is im existence the goverror will speedily put it im operation. He is not merely a gov- ernor in name. — + «= _____ ‘The District Commissioners did, of course, just what they ought to have done when they ordered yesterday the cutting of some overhead electric wires which had been strung in violation of law. Unmistakable Statutes insist that there shall be no ad- dition to the overhead-wire nuisance in this city and behind the law is a wide- awake and vigorous public sentiment that will not permit any infraction of one of the best pieces of legislative work Con- gress ever did for the District of Colum- bia. Wire burial is a slow proceeding, the expense attendant upon it making the cor- Porations affected very deliberate of move- ment, but the day is not far distant when the last line will be underground. ¢ ‘congress could hasten the coming of that time by giving us a law which >pera- lve the recommeniations of the engineers who were specially engaged to offer su gestions as to a comprehensive and sufii- cient system of conduits. see The Biand bill is bad in principle and bad im results, and ought to be vetoed, but the President is under strong partisan tempta. tion to sign it.

Why should the law as it now is be changed? It is not at all discredit- able to a major-general commanding the army to say that the generals named achieved more of fame than has fallen to his lot and Were therefore entitled to more rank; and the country generally will co- incide with the idea that none of the less distinguished, although perhaps very faith- ful, should be needlessly promoted at con- siderable expense. Ordinarily, brevet rank does not carry with ft any privileges worth gress contemplates giving to a brevet lieu- tenant-general all the compensation which would go with the full rank—something like fifteen thousand dollars per annum. The re- formers have begun at the wrong end. The enlisted men of the army now have to drink copiously of the liquid and intoxicat- men with enough rations to satisfy their im the army appropriation bill for the re- | and in the doing thereof to expend several | thousand dollars that could properly be ap- pose. Medals of honor, intended for the lant, have been scattered so lavishly that in any instances they are really valueless. Let us save the exalted rank and the in- creased pay and allowances for warriors of phenomenal repute—men whose names are If this be not done, what shall we have to offer him who in time to that now contains statues of such as Wash- ington, Grant, Sherman and Sheridan? -——_ reo When the Federation of Labor met in Chicago some three months ago it was de- cided by a majority vote to invite John Burns, the English labor leader, to visit the United States and deliver a series of addresses with a view of securing a greater unity of effort in the direction of ameliorat- ing the condition of the laboring people. Since then nothing has beea heard of the proposition and several inquiries have been made by persons in search of the reason why. It would really be a good thing for the working man of this country if he were to sit for awhile at the feet of John Burns sense which that remarkable man scatters so freely. It would also be a good thing for John Burns were he to see for himself the | tremendous differences there are between the conditions of the English and the Ameri- can toiler. Even after the prolonged finan- cial depression with which this country has been afflicted, the American working- man is very much better off than his Brit- ish brother; an interchange of facts and opinions between the labor leaders who would be highly and mutually beneficial to the countries concerned, ——> 0 Spring is here and the public is looking || forward to a long uninterrupted period of time during which Mr. Olney will say noth- ing and play tennis. rt It must be said in Mr. Hill’s behalf that he has shown no desire to curtail comment in New York so long as he is permitted to do as he chooses. > o- It would be easier to sympathize with Governor Waite in his troubles if he showed a little more interest in keeping out of them. ——— 202 -— Harmony between whisky and sugar is now attained only through the efforts of people who take syrup in their toddy.
