NOYES. —- = HE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation nearly do: the combined circalation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has mo com- petitor. 7 Im order to eount of person: @HE STAR should delays, on ac- bsence, letters to be With three thousand human lives in hourly danger of being crushed or burned ut, the United States Senate plays with the proposition to erect a new Government Printing Office as boys play at foot- ball. It would hardly be possible to speak foo strongly of the unfitness of the present @tructure; that story has been told in Con- gress and in the public prints, and must be known to every intelligent member of the national legislature. Senator Vest, who has frequently uttered warnings that should have received immediate attention, said to the Senate yesterday: “We have been swarned by a terrible disaster in an insuffi- client building, occupied and owned by the government in a different part of the city, that a recurrence of such a disaster must bbe avoided. It is of the essence of this dis- cussion that we should as soon as possible provide accommodations for the people in the Public Printing Office, who are today suffering not only discomfort, but who are threatened with actual danger. * * * If Senators want to take the responsibility in the face of the recommendations of the Public Printer, in the face of our past ex- perience, of keeping 2,500 or 3,000 employes fm a dangerous and insufficient building, ‘when we can give them relief under the bill of the committee inside of six months, let them do it.” To these apparently un- heeded utterances were added the words of Senator Manderson, who for a long time past has done his utmost to bring about the appropriation of money sufficient to put up @ suitable building. “For the last ten years,” said he, “the danger to the occu- pants of the Public Printing Office building has been very great. The Committee on Printing, having in charge to some degree “that great office, have repeatedly visited the building. They have recognized the presence of great danger, with probable loss of life. They have done what they could to put the building in safer condition. It has been propped up and supported and strengthened so that the great weight upon {ts floors might be maintained without rushing the life and limb of those who are employed in the building. These, however, have been but temporary makeshifts, and the building is, in my opinion, more dan- gerous than Ford’s Theater was even after the excavation was under way, which at last brought it tumbling about the heads of those who were in it. The Committee on Printing have always recognized this dan- ger. In report after report from the Public Printer he has cried aloud for relief ‘or those who were under his care.” It is difficult to understand how, with warnings such as these ringing in their ‘ars, men who were sent here to legislate broadly and wisely in the pubilc interest should cavil over the superiority of this site or that—whichever they may happen to feel most interested in. The great majority of those most immediately concerned are prob- ably careless as to the location of the pro- posed new building; what they want is action which will speedily remove them from the tottering shell in which they are mow practically compelled to labor. Senator Gorman made public some wholesome truths yesterday afternoon when he called attention to the “unseemly struggle of every man who has a lot for sale in the District, who has been pressing Congress @nd preventing favorable action upon a measure of this importance simply because his interests were not subserved, each strik- ing at the other, and all uniting to prevent this relief, which ought to come speedily, ‘without regard to the desire of any man, mo matter how high or how low he may be, ‘who wants to make money out of the trans- action.” Few bills have resulted in a more active lobby than that which has endeav- ered to control Congress in this matter of the Government Printing Office, and not frequently have congressional attorneys ‘been more successful in delaying a conclu- sion. Let there be immediate definite ac- tion of some sort, so that a conference eommittee may have speedy opportunity to adjust any differences that may exist be- tween the two Houses, and in view of the urgent necessity of the erection of a new structure let there be prompt acquiescence fm the decision of the conference commit- tee. Human life is not to be imperiled while real estate speculators wrangle. —___ + e = —___ Many housekeepers read with a good deal of interest the chapter in yesterday's Star which told of the deceit practiced by some of those who deal in butterine and other substitutes for the product of the cow. ‘That there are people who, for reasons sat- isfactory to themselves, prefer the counter- feit to the real is unquestioned, and no one will interfere with the exercise of their ehoice, but the authorities whose duty it is to imspect food products should use all vigilance to detect anything that appears lke fraud in the sale of butter imitations. It is undoubtedly true that hundreds of peo- ple are deceived into buying and eating some of the varieties of oleomargarine with which our local markets seem to be heavily stocked. The Star has several times directed attention to the necessity for careful food imspection, and, after additional investiga- tion, feels that it would not be doing its full duty by the people—for whom it speaks—if &t refrained from insisting upon absolute honesty on the part of those dealers in and purveyors of butterine, who now find profit im an unpardonable deception. ———__+ +e According to those who most ardently Support the tariff-reducing efforts gf the ‘Wilson bill, that measure will result in a decided increase of manufacturing activ- ity Im the United States. The Western Mail, the jeading conservative daily news- paper in South Wales, rejoices exceedirgly over the passage of the Wilson bill by the House and says that at this moment when the tin plate industry “is in such a de- Pressed state ro news could be better than this from America, for with a reduction to mearly the old tariff rate the old prosper- ous and regular state of the dustry may be looked to in the near future.” It thus clearly appears that the Wilson bill will be able to blow hot and cold in the same breath, and will benefit both the foreign Producer and the American manufacturer by the same schedule. ———_-+s—___ It canrot be otherwise than unpleasant to the average good citizen to hear men cf such high o*icial standing as Senator Kyle sreak encouragingly of the demostratian which is being arranged for by Coxey of Massilion. Without reservation the Senator from South Dakotz has announced himself as a believer in and an advocate of the dis- orderly method for which Coxey is just now Fesponsible. The Senator avers that the demonstration, mposed of respectable men, will ha holesome effect, and he expects to a oming the multt tude when it appears on the east front of the Capitol. But ely Senator Kyle éocs mot imagine that any considerable number of reputable people will figure in the Coxey ebullition; the better element will certainly be overwhelme by those who see in the Proposed march opportunities for safely doing wrong. Yet supposing that every man of this so-called army ganization numbered but Fespectable and sincere, ity will have no wel the past twelve months there has been an extraordinarily large percentage of unem- ployed residents of the District of Colum- ven Sf the or- 000 souls—was the people of this ne to offer. During bia, and to relieve the discomforts of these unfortunates the charitable people of Wash- ington have done a great deal—so much, in fact, that they have no surplus on hand with which to feed, clothe and shelter any considerable number of idle and penniless men who may deem it necessary to come here and endeavor to bulldoze Congress imto the passage of inexcusably foolish laws. Most of the lobbyists who come to Washington are provided with at least suf- ficient means to settle their hotel bills, but the Coxey lobby evidently proposes to be supported by those whom they would make their unwilling hosts. Perhaps Congress will take no action until the “army” makes its appearance, but the District authorities, who have undoubted police powers, should see to it that Mr. Cosey is fully aware of their lack of sympathy. Invasion of the District of Columbia Sy even a few thou- sand able-bodied men without means would be a very serious happening; likely to ais- turb the peace of the community. When the “army” comes, to how many “soldiers” will Senator Kyle give board and lodging? ——_-+»>—__ How history will insist upon repeating itself! In his second essay on the Earl of Chatham (William Pitt) the historian Macaulay sketches most vividly a condition which very nearly parallels one that exists in the United States today, although the civil service law has done much to improve the state of affairs in the government ée- jpartments. Discussing the happenings’ of that period when Henry Fox reigned in England, although George III was nomi- nally king, Macaulay say: “A persecution such as had never been known before, and has never been known since, raged in every public department. Great numbers of humble and laborious clerks were de- prived of their bread, not because they Fad neglected their duties, nor because they had taken an active part against the minis- try, but merely because they had owed their situation to the recommendation of some nobleman or gentleman who was against the peace. (Just then concluded be- tween England, France and Spain.) The proscription extended to tidewaiters, to gaugers, to doorkeepers. One man to whom a pension had been given for his gallantry in a fight with smugglers was deprived of it because he had been friended by the Duke of Grafton. An aged widow, who, on account of her husband's services in the navy, had many years before been made housekeeper to a public office, was dis- missed from her situation because it was imagined that she was distantly connected by marriage with the Cavendish family.” Such things do not occur in the England cf today, but they are too frequent in a nation that prides itself upon being possessed of a higher form of civilization than eny yet known and any known to the countries of the old world. Efficiency counts for too little even in the civil service, and when those who are in power because of the temporary supremacy of the political faith with which they are identified desire to reduce the compensation or dispense with the service of some faithful employee, the result is generally achieved without much difficulty. When another Macaulay arises to write the history of these times in this country he will have no less reason for being caustic than had his predecessor when writing of British government under Henry Fox. — ee Adam's pitiful excuse, throwing the blame on the woman, wag not accepted, and both Adam and Eve were turned out of Eden together. The decision in that case does mot present an encouraging precedent for either the defendant or the plaintiff in the celebrated case now pending. ——_++=—___ King Humbert has felt the hard times to such an extent that he proposes to sell all but five of his hunting palaces. Mr. Coxey should contemplate this fact and reflect that things in America might be worse, ——_~+s+____ It is doubtless trying to England to have her famous actors spend so much of their time in this country. But she has the comforting reflection that it is economical. —____ + ++ ___ ‘The Chicago young woman who married her father’s butler may have been prompted by a desire to efface the air of superiority which characterizes this functionary. ——__+ «e+ —-____ Some foreign diplomat will yet make him- self famous by negotiating a treaty with the United States by which Uncle Sam does not get the worst of it. Henry Irving and Miss Terry are on the way to England.

Paranoia. With Coxey’s legal tender Dame Fortune could not frown; We'd surely have good times—unless The paper mills shut down. ‘The Reason. “Why, sir,” said the young man, “do you refer to this as a dime museum poem?’ “Because,” replied the editor, “it is a freak.

They predict that it will not be popular.” “Why, I thought it was very original.” “Yes, that's the criticism that discour- ages me.” A Formidable Difficulty. In Mr. Coxey’s army Some men are bound to shirk— ‘The chances are that several will Desert and go to work. Proud of Him. » “Your husband seems to have the artistic temperament,” said the lady who was call- ing on the recently married young woman. “Do you think so?" was the response with a happy little smile. “Yes. I should think he might have made a good painter.” “I never saw him try to paint,” replied the little wife. “But he can whitewash beautifully.” Breaking It Gently. “Mister,” said the small boy to the gro. cer, “mother told me to ask you if they’s any such thing as a sugar trust.” “Why, of course there is.” “W-well, mother wants to get trusted for two pounds.” Educated Taste. From the Chicago Herald. The world’s fair made hideous architec- ture in the United States henceforth intol- lerable. Secretary Carlisle ought to put him- |self in touch with the advance of public opinion on the subject. His term in the treasury should be made worthy the mem- ory of his countrymen, not only by finan- ¢:al capacity, but also by candid confidence in a profession to which he does not be- long. ———_ + «+ ___ Retribution.
