THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY... CROSBY S. NOYES. —— HE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of -he other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 'y individual connected with the flee, but simply to THM STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Department, So far as the Senate can accomplish it resident Cleveland has been exempted from the operation of the tentative income- tax law. The exemption is wrong in prin- ciple and wholly inexcusable and can only be apologized for by those who have abiding faith in the Scriptural statement which gas it that “to him that hath shall be siven.” Among the many things upon which patriotic Americans pride themselves ip the general equality of all men before the law, yet in defiance of this sound sentiment that body which has been called the delib- erative branch of Congress has declared that the one official in the United States ‘whose salary is respectably large shall not be required to contribute to the fund which it is proposed to raige by means of @ tax upon all incomes that annually exceed the sum of #4000. No one who knows any- thing of the labor and responsibility at- tached to the office of Chief Magistrate will for a moment contend that the President! is overpaid; in fact, there are very many people who believe his compensation should be considerably increased; but these same persons will surely take advantage of the first opportunity to make strong protest against such class legislation as the Senate seeks to indulge In as to the presidential Yecompense. There was equal impropriety in granting immunity to judges of United States courts—there ts no solid reason why any ene variety of public servants should be singled out as beneficiaries while others must suffer the rigid application of an un- just and unjustifiable statute. The tax itself cannot be operated save by methods that are oppressively un-American, but if Congress has made up that something which is occasionally referred to as its mind and is bound to levy an impost upon integrity, it should be as fair as possible within the limits laid down in the bill. While there may be technical disputes as to the authorship of or the responsibility for the income-tax sections in the tariff Dill, it cannot be claimed that the tax is ‘there in opposition to President Cleveland's wishes. If he were opposed to this popu- listic proposition it would doubtless be eliminated. Why then should the President be favored practically above all others? If the dose which qhe friends of the in- come-tax notion desire to administer to the thrifty and prosperous people of the United States promises to bring about results bene- ficial to the now diseased body-politic, why should the Presicent’s head be legally averted when the national Mrs. Squeers holds forth the spoonful of nauseous medi- cine? ——- 02 Some time ago the inventive world, and eepecially that portion of it devoted to electric motors, was mucii stirred up by an offer by the Metropolitan Traction Com- pary of New York of a prize of $50,000, with a royalty contingent upon adoption, for the inventor who should be able to satisfy the company that there could be constructed and operated a practicable scheme for electric traction without over- bead wires. The reward was one worth working for, so it is not at all astonishing that a large number of capable men de- voted a great deal of time to the problem. What the result would have been had the Traction Company kept up its end of the agreement cannot easily be guessed at, but the condition now is confusing in the ex- treme. for just when the New York Rail- toad Commission was about ready to take up the enormous task of selecting the most meritorious system, the Traction Company withdrew its offer and left, it is said, more than a thousand inventors in the lurch. New the company says it wili do its own investigating, and there is likelihood of its securit sufficient rights to a system rearly related to that in operation in the city of Buda-Pesth. Engineering News says of this matter that the “practical as- pect of the case 1s that so many men have been set working on the problem by the Traction Company's offer, that they are all treading on one another's toes. Great minds run in the same channel; and when @ number of able men simultaneously at- tack such a problem, a number of claim- ents for priority in each special feature are sure to arise. The result is that no one in- ventor can gain such broad claims from the Patent office as will induce capitalists to take up his invention, and the actual re- sult may be to retard progress in the art Father than accelerate it.” It is to be hoped tkat the Traction Company is more honest in its loudly-avowed purpose to find some- thing better than the overhead trolley than it seems to have been in its dealings with those who were aroused to extraordinary activity by the great financial inducement it held forth. — + +e It seems quite improbable that any one ‘will object to the adoption of the amend- ment which Senator Gullinger intends to Propose to the District appropriation bill, and which will provide for the appropriating f the very small sum of money needed to @yuip local public-school buildings with in- @tantaneous fire-alarm apparatus. Too many safezuards cannot be thrown about the precious lives of the thousands of chil- dren who attend the public schools, and especially should every possibility of dan- fire be far removed by the adoption the approved methods for its quick Giscovery and rapid extinction. The hor- Fors of a stampede of frightened pupils are almost beyond comprehension. Rushing from crowdad rooms into halls, little ones have thrown themselves in masses down Stairways, to be mangled and maimed and bruised and disfigured. Several times in the history of Washington have catas- trophes of this sort been averted only by the coolness of the teachers and the cour- ge of the children themselves—bravery that was born of thelr confidence in their instructors. ‘ut moral heroism cannot al- Ways withstand panic which proper mechanical appliances might avert; there- fore the public-school buildings of Wash- ington should be made as safe to the lives | and limbs of those who occupy them as| human ingenuity end a generous patronage of it can make them. oo. Perhaps Mr. Croker’s visit to Ireland was for the purpose of getting a good interview with the Blarney stone. +e Governor Tillman is sald to be after a seat im the Senate. No doubt he feels the need of repose. ———_+e+_____ Business men who adhere to what may be termed old-fashioned methods of keep- ing their accounts will watch with much interest the workings and the outcome of | @n experiment which is to be made in the | War Department. Heretofore the depuart-| ment records have been kept in books, and | ‘until recently it was not supposed that the | system could, to any considerable extent, | be improved upon. But Secretary Lamont, | ‘who is credited with possessing more than ‘@verage business ability, bas been led to! the conclusion that present methods are | cumbersome, and that the “card” system | is far preferable. The practical result of | his conclusions will be that, commencing | with July 1, there will be no books| kept by the Degartment, except when! the Treasury Department or congre: sional appropriations are being dea!t with. As to whether this fg a wise move or rot, there is division of opinion among | experts. Advocates of the card system are strenuous in their declaration as to its value, insisting that a great deal of time will be saved by it, and -hat consequently the work of the department will be satis- factorily attended to by a smaller number of employes than the force at present en- gaged. Those who oppose the change seem to be well satisficd that in a little while the new-fangied notion will work out its own destruction, for they regard as practi- cally valueless a record chat is built up of many thousands of small cards, any one or more of which can be abstracted znd de- stroyed without much difficulty. The argu- ment of the anti-card experts is in this lat- ter respect a strong one, and one in which the public is certainly interested. The value of the card system for index purposes has long been recognized, but its applica- tion to the construetion of what is intended to be a permanent record appears at first glance to be rather risky. It is a theory against the expecience of a hundred years. ————“+--_. What has become of Mind Reader Rey- mour? About this time a year ago he wa: on his way to Chicago in the wake of a coffin, in which he said he intended to be buried alive. Mr. Seymour said he did not Propose to suffer anything more than tem- porary inconvenience, as he was merely going to adopt the ulleged custom of the Indian fakirs and suspend animation for @ matter of three months or thereabouts. He expressed with charming positiveness his ability to perform the feat and spoke of the barley, that would be planted over his grave, to ripen and be harvested ere he would return to earth, with a noncha- Jance that was refreshing as a summer breeze. But where is Mr. Seymour now? Did he get. buried or did he not? Perhaps he found the necessities that accompany Successful suspension of animation too difi- cult to accomplish. It is imperative that a suspending animator should swallow his tongue and control his heart and mind. Perhaps Mr. Seymour could not swallow his tongue. There are undoubtedly several statesmen in the neighborhood of the Cap- itol who would gladly welcome relief from present anxieties in a brief period of s1 pended animation, were they not ruled out of the Ist of eligibles by an obvious and irremediable incapacity to swallow their tongues. ——_+-e-—__.

SHOOTING STARS. Effect and Cause. The daisies wave above him now; ‘The grass weeps tears of dew. One month ago he murmured “Is it hot enough for you?” Pacity “It's strange!” exclaimed the irritable man, “that I can’t get what I order to eat.” “What's the matter?” asked his wife. “I ordered blue-fish -and the waiter brought me black bass.” “Oh, well. I wouldn't get angry. Per- haps the poor fellow is color blind.” Applying His Voc: lary. “Dere’s a fine word,” said Plodding Pete, as he laid down the piece of paper that had been wrapped around a ham sandwich. “Dat's a fine word, ‘procrastinate.’ What does it mean?” “It means ter put off.” “Does it? An’ ter t’ink of me bein’ pro- crastinated f'um six trains this week. Well, well!” The Possibilities ang. “Yes, Harold, there is no gainsaying the fact that I love you, but a plumber is no good at this season of the year.” “True, Maudie, dear; but I forgot to tell you that I have gone into the ice business. “Well, that changes matters, of course. In June a cold srap is very much better than a lead-pipe cinch.’ The Campaign Season. The candidate doth now appear, and through the keated atmosphere arise the scents that once again denote an opening campaign. The voters in New England get invited down to Swansconsett, to hunt the clam within its bake, anda few tariff les- sons take. While in the southland rears to view the ever-welcome barbecue, where shoat and juleps gaily mix with interesting politics, On the wall, by a ribbon suspended, it ranks with the things I hold dear; With the antlers, so flauntingly splendid, And the foils—which no foeman need fear. I see it with truest affection, Souvenir of a sweetheart of mine. Ah, that dark wavy hairs that complexion; And those eyes, which no stars could out- shine! ‘Twas at eve, when the sun to an ember Had reddened the cloud just above, That you sought me—how weil I remenber— And murmured, “Take this with my love.” So I cherish with sentiment tender, Whate'er the temptation may be, That basely suggests its surrender, The cigar that my wite gave to me. —_ + es Look to the Plumbin From the National Butlding Register. ‘The evils attending the heat of summer, unless sanitary measures are rigidly en- forced, are too well known to need recital. ‘The prompt and regular collection of all garbage and the possession of a properly constructed sewerage system are questions second only in importance to domestic plumbing. ‘Phe municipal authorities may make wise use of any appropriation for sanitary purposes, but it remains largely with the owner or landlord to aid and assist by maintaining a perfect working of the plumbing System in the home or office bulid- ing. ‘Ihe direct cause of most of the prev- alent 1lls and complaints of summer fs often found to be due to defective plumbing, and the importance of having every precaution taken to insure complete sanitation in this connection 1s too great to be negligently dealt with Whenever {t may become apparent that any of the plumbing devices are not work- ing properly, steps should immediately be taken to secure the prompt services of a plumber to correct the defects. Sewer gas, the gases arising from stagnant and pol- luted water, and the deadly poisons from imperfect drainage are the evils that men- ace the household and the general commu- nity whenever procrastination supersedes discretion and watchfuiness. The location of your homes may be regarded as particu- larly healthtul and the surroundings may be ali that could be desired, but these will ail nothing {f, through par: neglect, the interior piumbin, allowed to become imperfect. The city may spend millions of dollars for completing a perfect system of sewers, but it must be Femembered that these sewers carry off only what empties into them. It is the duty of the house-owner to see that the domestic plumbing system performs its work perfectly, and it then becomes the duty of those in charge of municipal affairs to see to it that proper sewerage facilities are provided for carrying off all drainage received from such sources.
