4. — THE EVE G STAR. WASHINGTON, THURSDAY...............April 12, 1894. CROSBY S. NOYES THE EVENING STAR has asregular and able Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Mediam it has no com- petitor. a2 delays, om ac- of person: bsence, letters to Tue STAR should not be addressed to my individual connected with the of- fice. but simply to THE STAR, or to! ¢ Editorial or Business Department, according to tenor or purpose. ——_—_—_——— Washington is for obvious reasons the last of the large American cities in which | to seek work with prospect of success. It fs also among the least able, so far as germanent resident population is concern- Bd, to provide from the resources of the charitable the means of relieving an army pf men in want, suddenly thrown upon it. ‘The charitable spirit is present, but the win- ter has sorely tried the limited local re- sources. The House failed to respond to the @ity’s appeal to make immediately available a municipal appropriation for suburban street tmprovement, which would have given work $o hundreds of the local unemployed. It is Mot likely that Congress will, even if it has the constitutional power, distribute charity from the national resources to the invading army of thousands of the needy and unem- ployed. How will they be supported? In so far as they seek neither work nor bread, Dut certain wild legislation, their pilgrimage 4s hopeless, and recognized to be such in advance. What will they do when their Fequests are refused? Power of exclusive legislation was granted by the Constitution to Congress in respect to the District of Columbia to guard against the application of this very pressure to the national legis- lature. The Congress under the confedera- | tion was chased out of the temporary capi- tal by its own unpaid soldiers, who wanted their money and desired to “petition” for) 3t in person. These physical petitions by thousands of the unarmed have been the Prelude in France to revolution. The Con- gress of the United States received under the Constitution the power to protect Stself and the national government ef- fectually in the matter. The respon- bility for action devolves upon it. Coxey’s army will be the guest of Congress, and not of the people of Wash- ington, and Congress has both the power and duty of according to its guest the re- ception which is deserved. Assuming that Congress, before Coxey’s army arrives here, rejects the legislative propositions for which the army petitions, will the national legis- lature permit several thousand men, who must be supported at either the nation’s or the city’s expense, to march into the Dis- trict for the avowed purpose of applying pressure to Congress to secure action which has already been refused? If a thousand men are permitted to enter under these con- ditions and for this purpose, can the entrance of a hundred thousand be pre- vented? And to what extent must the army be unarmed to entitle it to admission? And how far may Congress investigate to discover whether there are arms for the un-| armed in the vicinity? In short, if the prec- edent of admitting such bodies of men is established by Congress, where will the line be drawn which separates the petition from the threat? —— +02 —__ For the first time since the agitation be- gan scme years ago in favor of improved architecture for buildings erected by the Urited States government, a comprehensive staterrent has been published showing the results of the work of government archi- tects. It was written by Mr. Gienn Brown Wf this city and published in the recent issue of The American Architect, and an abstract of this article appears in another column. Tables of statistics as well as cuts of pub- and private buildirgs enforce and illus- trate the comments of the text. An array of facts is presented leading up to the con- clusion reached by Mr. Lrown, that not only are the buildings erected by the gov- ernment inferior in design to those put up by private enterprise, but they involve greater outlay of money, and more time is consun-ed in their erection. The figures reser ted contradict the objections so fre- quently raised that the commissions paid to private architects would amount to more im dollars and cents than the government is paying for professional service under the present system. The difference in favor of private architects is shown to be the differ- ence between ¥ per cent and 5 per cent upon the cost of construction, and if the longer period occupied in the process of build- ing by the government is taken into consid- eration it is estimated that Uncle Sam pays out at ieast 15 per cent for architectural and supervisory work. Some of the strik- ing contrasts in architecture are shown by Mlustrations of the Avditorium and the city Post office building of Chicago, the Alle- gheny County courthouse and the post of- fice building at Pittsburg. This review of the results of the work of government ar- chitects is not cheerful, but it leads to the hopeful conclusion that improvement is possible and that it hes along the pathway ef inviting and encouraging the employ- ment of the best architectural talent of the country in designing our public buildings. Roeteretce is of course bill, and the writer as: Ments to this bill Congress by the appear to be “designed to destroy all good effects that would from it.” Mr. Brown's conclusions will repay perusal. ——_+ oo ---___ ‘The Zoo is bereft of a great deal of its former splendor.

And yet @ great and unquestionably powerful body of employed men elects at this time to be unemployed and to add to the distress for the alleviation of which every philanthropic soul in the Jand has toiled for several months past. Did the action of the Colum- bus convention affect no other interests than those of the miners themselves, the public might be satisiled to let the discontented ones go ahead and experiment at their own expense, but when it is apparent that a gen- eral strike of coal miners means enforced idleness for thousands of railroad employes, of sailors engaged on the lakes, of mechan- ics and laborers whose tivelihood comes from activity in the coal trade, then people will surely wonder why a great strike should be decided upon at such an inopportune season as this. Similar unrest to that which exists among the United Mine Workers bas come to the surface in Chicago, and in that | city arrangements have been made for the opening of a labor war in the building trades. There employers and employed have had serious disagreement for quite a long | Period, and as the latter have declined to | submit the case to arbitration, the former have decided that a lockout 1s demanded by | the circumstances. by the building employers of Chicago is as | much to be regretted as that reached by the miners at Columbus. Only through a great busin: revival can the stringency of today be chased away; but If the people who have the money to pay wages with and those who need it insist on more of !dieness than there now is, “the good time coming” is a long way off. —_+ + + -___ The Washington and Mt. Vernon road, in refusing to withdraw voluntarily from its proposed occupation of the flats and to run [its line a few squares farther north along |E street to a ferry landing at the foot of that street, has insisted that engineering difficulties rendered this slight change of course impossible. In an interview printed elsewhere in The Star Engineer Commis- jsioner Powell disposes completely of the imaginary difficulties. Of course the cap- italists In New York and Philadelphia who own the Mt. Vernon road would prefer the gift of a free river frontage on the re- claimed flats, and would prefer to use the cheaper overhead trolley, which entrance over the reclaimed ground would render necessary. But the Commissioners, the War Department and the people of the Dis- trict, with the public welfare in view, and ; without opposing in the least the general purposes of the road, insist that the road shall enter the city by the unobjectionable route which has been suggested, and that the government shall say to this corpora- tion, as to all other would-be trespassers on | public property: “Keep off the parks and i reservations!” | —_—~+s—___ Senator Quay is, of course, very much interested in the welfare of the District of Columbia, but some of the not improp- erly-curious people who live here want to know why he should endeavor to nullify the endeavors of the District Commission- ers to provide the suburbs with a satis- | factory illuminant. Can it be possible that the Senator prefers darkness to light sim- ply because a Pittsburg firm desires to furnish the District with a modified brand joe gloom? The Commissioners have been experimenting with oil and gasoline lamps | and have drawn heavily from the accumu- | lated experiences of other cities. They have decided in favor of gasoline, but some of Senator Quay’s constituents have oil lamps to sell, and he has interposed an amend- ment to the District appropriation bill, which, while apparently harmless, prac- tically compels the use of the unsatisfac- tory oil. That may be good politics, but does it not fall a trifle short of being states- manship? <2 = ____ It is not clear to the ordinary eye, be- holding from a distance, why Chicago | capitalists should want to fill up space on the lake front when they still have several feet between the ground and the sky to build in. — + ee __ The Coxey volunteers cannot but com- mand a little interested attention when their intention to out-talk Congress in spite of the fatigue of a long march is consid- ered. ——_ + = —____ The German Emperor’s present of a handsome easel to the Princess Bismarck | is a delicate reminder of the picture which is no longer turned to the wall. — toe The public has every confidence in the government, but, unfortunately, hard times cannot be reached by the faith cure. + 0e ‘The abandonment of the Stein Arctic ex- Pedition will have the effect of spoiling the customary relief excursion. we South Carolina’s trouble is none the less sefious because it has the state trade mark on the bottle. ———__ + «+ —____ It is hoped that future scandals will be kept at home; not dragged into the District courts. ——_+ SHOOTING STARS.
