NOYE: —————— SHE EVENING STAR basa regular permanent circulation nearly the co Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com- petitor. C7 Ie order to id delays, om ac- bsence. letters to ot be a renned to connected with th iy to THE STAR, Business Department, or OF pUrpore. the Editorial according to t: Sensibly and with a proper disregard for | the quips and jeers of those who protested against following the example of Thomas B. Reed, when he was Speaker of the House, the democratic caucus last night resolved that quorum-counting shall be indulg2d in whenever such arithmetic ts necessary. The @emocrats of the House of Representatives are fit subjects for congratulation on their arrival at such a conclusion, and although @ considerable proportion of the number Participating in the caucus—forty-four out of one hundred and twenty-four—were op-| posed to the change in the rules, it cannot reasonably be tmagined that there will be | further opposition to the adoption of the fule which is wholly businesslike and com- mendable in every respect. The Star has never questioned either the legality or the desirability of the quorum-counting propo- sition; it has, on the contrary, insisted that the entire weight of logic and common sense ‘was opposed to the contention that a mem- ber could at the same time be present for obstructive purposes and absent as a .egis- lator; and it has, ever since the present Congress commenced to be, felt satisfied that before this session’s adjournment came | such a rule as that recommended by last night's caucus would be agreed upon. When it was first suggested that the Fifty-third Congress would do wisely if it adopted in general the rules and methods of the Fifty- first, there was practical unanimity of dem- ecratic dissent, but every day's experience was testimony to the reasonable character of the suggestion. While Speaker Reed was fm the chair, none more strenuously opposed his course than did Representative Crisp, but yesterday evening Speaker Crisp—who now knows how necessary some such rule is—deciared to the caucus that he was rot opposed to the counting of a quorum, end that if the democrats of the House should @ecide in favor of that method, he would strictly enforce the rule. It ts semt-officially announced that the regulation which is to be framed and adopted will differ somewnat from the rule which worked so successfully fm the Fifty-first Congress, and it is not improbable that when the quorum has to Le counted it will be done by some other mem- ber or officer than the Speaker. That will, however, be a distinction without a differ- ence and will be useful only because it may reconcile some of those who are stubbornly opposed to anything that savors of what they are pleased to term “Reedism.” Some doubt is expressed as to whether the repub- Htcans in the ifouse will vote for the adop- tion of a quorum-counting rule. There tas been no republican caucus on the proposi- tion, nor has any one authorized to speak for the republicans given indication of their intention, but it is only fair to imagine that Mr. Reed will support a rule which he has always insisted should be adopted, and that those who are of like political opinion will also be found on the affirmative side whe: the final vote is taken. The people of the United States desire that the House of Rep- Fesentatives, being elected to legislate, snall | be able to do the business for which it is chosen; and shail not be confined by a few obstructionists to a pitiful exhibition of “How not to do it.” ———_+ + + —___. Among the legislative needs of this city of Washington is one to which little or no} attention has been publicly directed, and) that is a statute which will compel those who may reasonably be termed tetic” merchants to contribute of their Profits toward the municipal support. At) Present there is standing invitation to/| these often irresponsible raiders to dash in here with a stock of, as a rule, almost worthless goods, remain a few weeks—gen- erally not more than a month—and then move to new fields, where they will not have to hear the reproaches of those whom they victimized through “bankrupt sales’ and “fire sales” and “as- signee’s bargains.” These men once in a hundred times are the goods they | sell worth fifty per cent of even the low prices charged for them. Nearly always} the shoddy products of unreliable ma-| chinery and cheapest labor, made up under} the infamous and disease-breeding “sweat- | ing” system, the garments are the poorest sort of value for even the most insignifi-| cant investment; their manufacture is an Insult to decent wage-earners, their un- taxed sale an outrage upon reputable deal- ers. The method of disposal is well known: A store is hired for a brief period, sur- rounding walls and the pages of as many newspapers as possible are plastered with deceptive anncuncements of the great ad- vantages to be derived by the purchaser, and of the distressing sacrifices which are being suffered by the dealer—whether the stock came into his possession through a mysterious conflagration, a railroad ca- trophe, or by an awful dispensation which compe one, two or three of the most prominent clothing firms on earth to retire, unprotitably, from the hurly-burly of trade. The Star has never permitted the use of its columns in behalf of such enter- | Pi and it does not propose to do so now. $ lly turned away many thousands of dellars’ worth of that sort of | advertisin ad it has done so because it believed such consideration was due the dealers who have made permanent settle- ment here, and contribute their share of, local taxes. The Washington merchant—| the man or woman unquestionably iden-| tified with the city and its welfare—de-| ‘Fves support and protection. As there is! no law to equalize the conditions, it is the plain duty of the newspapers to discoun- tenance and discour: Work harm to the community. toe The storm which during the early part of the week did so mui every atmosphe disturbance invariably does in the tin. -s—it called attention to the necessity for putting all the varieties ef electric wires underground. From a} score or more of cities come the same old Stories of disorganized telegraph and tele- hone service, of b: nh trolley wires end consequent demoralization of street-car serviee and—of greater importance than all other conside t tions—of human life en- Gangered b: high voltage wires which have been blown down or crossed by wires that ordinarily are nothing more than obstructive. In several places human beings have been in contact with wires generally r rded as harmless and have karely escaped instant destruction, but did Fot succeed in getting away without paying | @ terrible price for their freedom. In Philadelphia an electric light wire crossed with a te! the end of which hung so treet as to strike two omnibus horses and cause their imme- | diate death. Two men who endeavored to} Save the animals sustained severe injuries 4 will probably membrance ¢ there have ft be fair to der penings which co porations and muni thorities less complaisant. rs ago, when it was first proposed to bury all manner of electric wires, the great majority electrical experts—hired for the purp. insisted that the {dea of satisfactory serv- fee from conduit-carried wires was little Yess thad an absurdity and its applica- the occurrence. Elsewhere many minor accidents, if nate as accidents hap- avoided @ cor- less of — | “peripa-| their so-called; invariably | operate in the clothing business, and not | those who really | damage throughout the! tern part of the country has done what | never lose a lively re-| pal au-| tion as a matter of fact a practical im- possibility. Slowly but surely were the companies compelled to test the merit of underground systems that could neither be | purchased for destruction nor killed by the most exacting experiment, and so it has come to be that no sane person will now dispute the proposition that the conduit service is far superior to that rendered by exposed wires. The city of Washington rejoices in legislation which prevents any increase in the number of overhead wires and Is in full possession of strong senti- ment which will compel steady reduction until the last strand of copper is beneath the street surface. The example thus set has done great good. Boston has been | grievously afflicted with overhead wires and has suffered enormously heavy losses therefrom, but wideawake Bostonians saw how admirably the better system worked at the National Capital and now what waged against the ancient and “penny- wise pound foolish” method at the center of New England's civilization. —— +02 —— If a good cause backed by able men merits public favor then the American So- ciety of Religious Education ts entitled to the cordial support of the good people of Washington. And it will undoubtedly re- j ceive it. Indeed, expressions of welcome and approval have alreudy becn given, in a formal way, at the anniversary last Sunday | and by numerous private utterances of indi- | viduals. The society's headquarters estab- | lished here will become one of its prom- inent features, adding another to the | mumerous attractions that are so rapidly | making this city the Mecca of intellectual | people. The rooms will contain a collection of documents of all kinds bearing on the subject of religious education, gathered froma the publishing houses of all denom- inations. These rooms will be open to the | public at suitable hours, affording rare | facilities for investigation. Numerous as- semblies will be invited here, engaging | eminent scholars, who will discuss ail the | important themes connected with the so- | ciety’s great work. Many of their papers will be printed and deposited in the rvoms, forming a part of the permanent literature | to be built up, while others of such docu- ments, issued in tract form, will be dis- tributed far and wide among the people, giving impetus to measures for the religious good of the nation. The society has five | fraternities: The Fellow's Club, the Child- Culture Club, the Sunday Teachers’ Club, the College Bible Club, the Bible Readers’ | Union, each providing methods of bible work for separate classes. These will have branches in this city and in other cities of the country. Thus the advanced ideas cf family instruction, Sunday schvol teaching, etc., will find record here with this society | | bill on June 7, allowing three days for de- promises to be an effective crusade is being | THE WEEK. Just one week after debate began in the Senate on the Wilson tariff bill Senator Hill of New York made his long awaited speech. It was directed mostly against the income tax feature of the bill. Such a bill as the Mills bill he said he would support, but he would not support a bill which would not raise the needed revenue except by a direct tax, which he denounced as class legislation. The speech created considerable comment and not a little feeling among the demo- crats. Both houses of the New York legis- lature passed a foint resolution thanking Mr. Hill for his speech, Senator Allen intro- duced a resolution for taking a vote on the bate under the five-minute rule. Patrick Walsh was sworn in as successor to the late Senator Colquitt of Georgia. The Senate agreed to a resolution providing for the coinage of Mexican doilars at American mints. The Senate agreed to begin the de- | bate on the tariff bill each day at 1 o'clock, | at least for this week, the republicans agree- ing not to delay business. Owing to the impossibility of getting a voting quorum in the House, the committee on rules on Thurs- day brought in a rule providing for & $10 fine for every case of a member refusing to vete. Mr. Reed and the republicans suc- cessfully filibustered against ft, tne demo- rats not succeeding in obtaining a quorum. A severe storm swept over the country and along the Atlantic coast early in the week, driving a number of vessels ashore and | causing considerable loss of life. Much dam- | age by fire and loss of life has been caused at Milwaukee, Lynchburg, Va., Scranton and Buffalo. The trial of Bishop Bonacum opened at Omaha before Archbishop Hen- nessy, whose rulings were displeasing to the complainants, who have appealed to Mgr. | Satolli. The projected lockout in the build- | ing trades at Chicago proved a fiasco. Ex- | United States Senator Cattell of New Jersey died in a private Insane asylum. In Foreign Lands, The Rosebery ministry !n England suc- cessfully passed a crisis early in the week. ‘The absence of many of its Irish supporters gave hope to its opponents, but the radicals supported it. The Bering sea bill, to carry out the provisions of the Paris tribunal, passed the commons and ‘vas sent to the lords, where it has passed second reading. The government has announced that it will not introduce a bill to give home rule to Scotland. The Parnellites want parliament dissolved, and have expressed their dissatis- faction with the ministry. The German kaiser has been visiting King Humbert of Italy and the Austrian emperor. Adn.iral Da Gama and his insurgent followers land- ed at Buenos Ayres. The insurgent vessels bombarded Rio Grande in southern Brazil and the government claims were repulsed. The general elections in Holland resulted in a defeat of the government. In the District. A temporary excitement was created in | the early part of the week by the arrival here, in freight cars, of a band of forty men | under the command of Capt. Primrose. They were out of employment and had come aad may be examined at any time. The | men behind this concern are known to the | public as scholarly, earnest and trust- worthy. Gen. John Eaton, once United | States Commissioner of Education; Rev. J. E. Gilbert, D. D., author, lecturer and | leader in advanced educational methods; Dr. Edwin Willits, ex-member of Congress, | x-Assistant Commissioner of Agriculture, once principal of the Michigan State Normal College, versatile and popular; Dr. Gregory, veteran college professor and now retired scholar; Dr. Beiler, an educator of high rank; Dr. Rankin, the able president of Howard University; Dr. Dabaey, As- sistant Secretary of Agriculture; and many | others are identified with the movemcat. Who can doubt their ability to conduct it wisely? It should be borne in mind that this society is interdenominational. Bap- tists, Congregationalists, Presbyterians, Methodists, indeed all religionists, are in- vited to make their best contribution to this national effort to improve the methods of Bible study and teaching, and to ac- complish a more thorough cultivation of | man’s spiritual nature. ~ oe - — Those who imagined that the Coxey ad- vance was merely the outcome of a freakish brain, and who yet believe it is without supporting force, may be undeceived if they will Hsten to the language spoken by the | head of a great and unquestionably powerful labor organization. In a vouched-for inter- view, had at Boston, General Master Work- man Sovereign of the Knights of Labor | said that “Coxey’s movement is the fore- | boding of the insurrection. I do not mean that the army itself is anything but peace- ful, but I do mean that tens of thousands | of tolling men are watching the movement, ready to resent any abuse the army may re- ceive from municipal, state, or national officials. The army is to the working nen today what John Brown's party was to the slaves before the war.” There is a poorly- concealed threat against the public peace in that statement; encouragement for pro- ceedings that may grow into an assault | upon our form of government. It is a :tep | or two ahead of the comment made by the Journal of the Knights of Labor, when it, | after saying that “the march of Coxey's | | and Frye’s armies of unemployed has passed | the stage of ridicule and is daily growing in proportions and seriousness,” and that | the men composing them “will no doubt | reach Washington at the appointed time in | large numbers,” goes on to state that ‘the | mainspring of their movement fs want of work and opposition to increasing the bonded debt of the country, thereby binding the peo- | ple in stronger thongs of industrial slavery. In both these demands they are abso- lutely right, and that is the cause of their meeting with so much sympathy and en- | couragement of their march. We hope that the thousands of unemployed will reach Washington.” Of course it will be re- garded as impertinence by those who want to dump discontented and impoverished thousands into the District of Columbia, but it is nevertheless far from improper to ask what practical good can possibly come of the present demonstration, which for the first time appears to be countenanced and encouraged by organized labor?

It was thought that they. constituted one of | the numerous wings of the Coxey army, but this they denied. The entire party was re- ceived by the police, placed in a station missed, as it was not thoroughly demon- | strated that they were tramps. The mem- bers of the party subsequently either left the city or found means of support here. Be crossing of the Maryland line by the Coxey army gave additional impulse to the reparations made by the authorities for | the reception of the visitors. The Pollard- Breckinridge case was given to the jury this | afternoon, Local political circles were agi- jtated by the appointment of W. H. Ma- nogue to be collector of the port of George- town, and a still deeper interest and satis- | faction was created by the aunouncement | that a large majority of the Senate Dist"ict committee was recorded against the confir- | mation of Charles H.

George Taylor, the | | colored man arrested for depredations in | poe and who has a wide reputation as | “Jack the Slasher,” was found guilty by | the jury in the Criminal Court.

The Georgetown Law School won the third and last in the series of three debates with the Columbian Law School. The Choral Society gave a rendition of Haydn's “Creation.” The Methodist Pro- testant conference adjourned. An organiza- tion of the Columbian Historical Society was effected and Dr. J. M.
