THE — G STAR. CROSBY s. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of © other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. NOYES. c7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the of- fee, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorini or Business Department, according to tenor or purpose. Private John Allen of Mississippi can no lorger claim a congressional mcnopoly on humor, fer it was yesterday developed in the House of Representatives that Joseph C. Hutcheson of Texas has droll ideas and ean be inimitably jocular. Not always is Mr. Hutcheson’s mood exclusively comical; sometimes it is aliacst tragic, as it was, for instance, on the day when the Texan was alleged to have threatened to cut the auricular appendages of Sergeant-at-arms Bright off close to that official's shapely head. Mr. Hutcheson has since been quoted 2s saying that the little difference of opinion he had with Mr. Bright was en- tirely playful. But ft was yesterday and the opportunity afforded by District day that gave Mr. Hutcheson a chance to make plain the waggery which is within him. A bill way pending which had for it object relief of District policemen disabled in the Ure of duty, and the widows and orphans of officers who found or may find death while in search of criminals. After the bill had been discussed, and had made plain the existence of a distressingly large amount of congressional misinformation as to the relations of the general government and the national capital, Mr. Hutcheson Geveloped a roguish, rompish frame of mind, and made a speech on an “aristo- cratic pension list” for policemen. In the course of his remarks he said: “If you want immigration to come to this country, just pass this bill, and all the that plow the sea will not be able to the numbers that will want to come You will have immigration from every in. part of the earth, men of all nationalities, coming here and running for policemen in the District of Columbia. Why, there is not a man in this country who can tell who his great-great-grandfather was, but there are a great many men who would be relieved from the necessity of doing so if the were able to say ‘I do not know who my great-great-great-grandfather was, but I do know that my father is a pensioned police man, and lives in the District of Columbia.’ Afy man under the sun who fs anxious to rise to distinction in this world has nothirg to do but take a club in his hand, come to Washington, spend his life here as a policeman, and then retire on the aristo- cratic pension list.” But when Mr. Hutcheson sat down he must have felt as though his humor was lot properly appreciated. To Mr. Hutche- gon the thing was inimitably funny, and he grotably would not have been astonished had the House indulged in cachinnatory convulsions. But there was no laughter, save from a thoughtless few upon the floor; for there were many who failed to see where the laugh came in, and their failure did them credit. The utterances of Mr. Hutebesoa certainly could not provoke laughter from the widow and children of Officer Crippen, who, while following a murderer, was shot dead in his trac! ‘The widow of Officer Fowler, a policeman who was shot dead by a convict, would find it hard to smile at the Hutcheson utterances. The widow of Officer Slack— killed while endeavoring to make an arrest —will not sce the humor of the Texan's little joke; nor will any Washiagtontan who is in manly sympathy with the worthy beneficiaries of the police pension fund. - —— 02 As soon as Congress has disposed of the tariff bill attention will doubtless be given to a large number of legislative propositions of greater or less importance now buried beneath a great mass of cumbrous sched- ules and other tariff necessaries. One of the buried propositions which is eminently de- serving of congressional disinterment is that made by Senator Walsh of Georgia as to the establishment of a permanent national exposition somewhere within the boundaries of the national capital. The idea is wholly good and the bill in which it is crystalized deserves universal support. Senator Walsh makes a very reasonable request when, in the measure which he introduced on Satur- day, he asked for the appointment of a commission, consisting of the Postmaster General, the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture, to report to Congress a plan for the establishment and maintenance of such an exposition, and for an appropriation of $7,500 to defray the expenses of the commission. That the vari- ous states, through their industries, would be very much benefited by such an exposi- tion Is certain, and it ts therefore reasonable to imagine tnat Senators and Representa- tives interested In the national welfare will, when opportunity arrives, declare them- selves favorable to the project. ee There was a manifest error in the propo- sition made to the House of Representatives yesterday that the people of the District of Columbia alone should provide the pension fund for disabled policemen and for the widows and orphans of officers who died in the discharge of duty. There should be guch a fund, but the penstoning of police- men should be provided on the same basis &s the payment of the working policemen. The police force of the District of Colum- bia does as much service for the govern- ment of the United States as it renders the taxpayers of the national capital. Mem- bers of the metropolitan police force guard the ansion; do duty around the are vigilant even in the Capitol building itself whenever the Capitol authorities find their own force insufficient; and were the chosen defenders of law and otder when the Coxey demonstration was made on the Capitol front. It will be sound policy for the general government to main- tain control of Washington's police, and that it cannot continue to do if Congress Beeks every oportunity to shirk its equitably @pportioned responsibilities in this regard. ——+ o-____ A presidential candidate either in the ‘House or Senate makes a mistake if he expects to travel to the White House via the unpopular overhead-trolley route. +o It remains for science to turn its atten- tion to the theory that sugar has remark- ble properties for developing moral bac- teria. — oe If M. Joal, who ts said to be one of the most erudite of French scientists, is in the anti- | flower crusade to stay, it may reasonably | be expected that the florists of the world wi »mbine to secure an injunction which will forbid M. Joal from speaking or writing on the subject to which he has, it seems, paid much attention.

If ment that the smell | it can no longer be considered a friendly or complimentary act to present vocalist with all manner of floral offerings—from the graceful bunch of loose roses to the hideous three-storied designs. that are so frequently and laboriously carried down the aisles by perspiring ushers; only an enemy would be guilty of endeavoring to make a young lady faint on the stage and then awaken to dis- cover that the treacherous smell had taken advantage of her helpless condition to in- flict injury upon her vocal chords. Several instances of damage resulting from too- close association with what the ignorant public regards as delightful scents are given in the Joal treatise and from these it would appear that one variety of flower is just as noxious as another. M, Joal may be right, may have behind him and beneath him a vast store of non-upsetable knowledge on the subject of which he discourses at such length and with so much of apparent ability, but his doctrines will not soon be popular with the fair sex—to say nothing of the people who cultivate and smell what Beecher said were “the sweetest things that God ever made and forgot to put a soul into.” There is something of reason in the suggestion that M. Joal is being prompted by an international syndicate of young or who find the flower-giving habit muc! expensive and who want a good excuse ae throwing off the burden of one of the pret- Uest customs of the age. —— - + 0 Long-distance horse-racing in the United States was born and has died at Chadron, Neb, It will be remembered that the cow- boy race to Chicago last summer started from that previously unknown little settle- ment in the northwest corner of Nebraska; there was a good deal of what may fairly be termed “fake” In connection with the event, and the records made by horses and riders failed to prove anything that may have been in doubt. One day last week nine horses started from Chadron for a run of one hundred miles, and within twenty-four hours four of the horses died of exhaus- tion. It is said that the managers of the race are much disappointed, because they simply desired to test the staying qualities of western horses, and did not intend any cruelty. It is decidedly discreditable to Nebraska that the law there should be in such a condition as to permit a race of that sort, but it will be infinitely more discred- itable to the state and the big-hearted west generally if those who are responsible for the killing of the animals are not prose- cuted to the law's extreme limit. ——_ +02 — ——_ While some Austrian artillerymen were drilling recertly in Vienna a_ violent hailstorm broke, and the men and horses were pelted with enormous stones, ranging from the traditional hen’s eggs to dimensions beyond credence. The wires say that the horses bolted and unseated many of the riders, sixteen of whom were injured by the wheels passing over them. This may speak volumes for the size of the Austrian hail- storms, but it contains no praise for the skill of the artillerymen, whose prime busi- ness it should be to preserve their equt- librium at all times and under all circum- stances. They should be models of eques- trian tenacity. If hail-stones, however large, can dislodge half the officers and men of an artillery regiment, what might not be done with one of the new ten-inch rifles from the Washington Gun Foundry? | There is some consolation here for us on this side of the Atlantic, even if we are slighted by the elements. +e The “order” output of the Coxey contin- gent causes no uneasiness. It is only the “disorder” output that can arouse appre- hension. —~+=____ It 1s considered somewhat remarkable that Mr. Croker’s outing should be syn- chronous with the Lexow committee's inn- ing.
