As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. mecording to tenor or purpose. Next to a new Government Printing Of- fice, the necessity that cries most loudly for @ federal building appeals for a new Exec- fitive Mansion. The President of the United Btates is the only enlightened citizen in the country who is compelled to sleep, eat and keep his family in his workshop. Leav- Ang out of consideration the rattle-trap con- ition of the White House—its rotting wood- “work, its lack of accommodations; its col- ony of rats that scamper through a thou- sand holes and need the attention of a rat- catcher and his ferrets at regular inter- and the unhealthiness that is the cer- tain accompaniment of all these conditions— the dignity of the nation demands that the . Man selected to shape much of its destiny should be domiciled in a decent abode.

The dishonesty of such juggling must surely be apparent to every right-minded person, yet the work of gerrymandering goes on as persistently and as openly as though it was a virtuous thing to deprive @ majority of the rights to which, under the Constitution, it is entitled, and to place in the haads of @ minority power the peo- ple never intended it to have. It happens that in the present instance the offenders are democrats, but it is not for republicans to throw stones at them; both the prin- cipal parties have been about equally guilty. Slowly but surely we are moving toward that time when it will not be creditable for a man to excel in the arts of the practical politician. Just now the energy of good citizens is being devoted to municipal reform, and on their work public interest seems to be centered, but the day is not far distant when the good people of the land will see the necessity for the active participation of all true citizens in matters political, and then no man will be able truthfully to boast that unscrupulous manipulation has made @ minority out of @ majority. ——_—__++e__—__ A cablegram from Cork has conveyed from Richard Croker regrets that the law of libel is so lax in this country that he cannot bring satisfactory criminal suit against the newspapers that have been tell- ing the truth about him and his followers. Congress has been repeatedly urged to “either provide a suitable office buili- ing for the use of the Chief Executive or to find office room for this purpose in the Treas- ury or in the State, War and Navy build- Ing, and the very excellent point has been made that the President is surely entitled to the same privacy in his home life as any @ther citizen. It may be asserted without ‘uch fear of contradiction that Americans fully agree with this view of the case. It is to be hoped that those who comprise the United States Congress will express their individual feelings in a collective manner and will legislate a new Executive Mansion into existence without any further delay. ‘The present White House will do admirably for offices if the apartments now used by the President's family are given up to the secretaries and clerks. What is needed is @ dwelling for the President of a character consistent with the exalted position of those Who may occupy it and the grandeur of the country over which they will preside. Soe Congressional persistence and more than @verage corporate willingness gave to Washington what is undoubtedly the finést cable street-railroad system in the world. In the matter of equipment it is difficult to See how any practical improvement could be made, save in the important item of fenders, while the smoothness with which the hundreds of cars are operated is a source of much satisfaction to the people of Washington and the thousands who for business or pleasure visit the national capital. To look for perfection, however, would hardly be less than unreasonable, but that improvement could be made in one or two minor matters is certain. In a brief communication to The Star, a patron of the Washington and Georgetown road Wants to know why the company’s serv- @nts at the termini of the three lines were totally neglectful of what would seem to be an essential duty. Yesterday afternoon there was a sharp downfall of wind-driven rain. Th cars in use were all open cars, and on the seats in the grip and along the windward sides of the trailers a good deal of moisture was deposited. Two hours after the rain had ceased much of the moisture was in evidence where it fell; such of it as was absent had been trans- ferred to the summer clothing of passen- gers. On some trains many seats were va- cant and many persons who, having paid their fares, were entitled to the best ac- commodations available, were standing up; preferring to do so rather than use their Sarments for the purpose of drying seats. it would be but @ small matter for the management of the road to see to it that immediately after a fall of rain a sufficient mumber of employes—half a dozen could Probably do all the work—busied them- selves in drying the seats that passengers Bow have to pay for the privilege of drying. >—__—_. ———_e it is unfortunate for the reputation cf the French people, and also for the Italians who mow chance to be residing in France, that mobs of indignant Gauls have used the us- sassiration of Carnot by an Italian anarch- igt as an excuse for maltreating Italians of high and low degree, for wrecking their houses and places of business and for in- sulting the Italian flag. Of course, these Wrongs are not being committed by persons Who have any claim to reputation for re- spectability—tney are the work of the lower strata of the urban population; men and ‘Women who seize coo readily upon every ex- cuse for doing wrong—but the authorities, by their failure to act as promptly as they know how, have encouraged the disorder and will have to bear their share of the edium. In many instances, particularly in the city of Lyons, the police received ampie Waruing of the mob’s evil intent, but no ef- fort to repress was made until long after some nifty or more of Italian shops and resi- dences had been gutted of their contents and destroyed by fire. That mternational complications will ensue as a result of police inactivity is quite sikely and it is probably Teasonable to conclude that such demon- Strations as those complained of would not have taken place had the nationality of the murderer been outside of those represented in the triple alliance. In that diplomatic combination Italy is the weak member, and it may be that French statesmen are trying to take advantage of what they believe to be a safe opportunity to test the solidity of the alliance. Had the assassin of President Carnot been an Englishman there would bave been no such demonstrations as have taken place throughout France during the past day or two. The unfairness of hoid- ing the Italian people to responsibility for Santo’s mad act should be apparent even to &n excitable Frenchman, for Santo was ban- Ished from Italy some time ago and was truly “a man without a country.” It may easily be that out of the events consequent upon the murder of Carnot will come, through international complications, far More trouble than would seem to follow Recessarily upon his decease. —_--2s—__.. Colorado is at present engaged in won- dering whether she would rather have the caterpillars or Governor Waite on her neck. Tee Whenever an outspokenly-honest man stands up and declares that much of our Political life 1s vicious and that only in a few places, and then not invariably, does the true popular sentiment find itself fairly fepresented in legislative bodies, there arise many apparently sincere persons Who insist that the honest man is mis- taken, or that he is correct merely as to unimportant detatis. Sometimes, however, the politician is frank, and then we hear truth more startling than any uncovered by the reformer. For instance: In an in- terview in which the probable political ecmplexion of the next Illinois legislature Was discussed, an Illinois Kepresentative in Congress said that there could no longer be any doubt as to the senatorial succes- sion from his state—Senator Cullom would have to give way to a democrat. The rea- fon why the Representative In question Was so certain was made plain by his an- rouncement that “the state has been so re- districted that even with 40,000 republicans majority the legislature would still be demo- cratic on joint ballot." Such a condition as this may be most pleasing to that class of citizens who pride themselves on being Practical politicians, but it is nevertheless @:sgraceful, and it would be just as dis- graceful if the gerrymandering had been done by republicans or prohibitionists or populists, or members of any. other party. It is infamous that the voters even in a single precinct should be compelled to Mr. Croker. is furthermore quoted as say- ing that the English libel law is far su- perior to ours in the matter of severity, and ig therefore much more admirable from his standpoint. This concession by such a con- sistent anti-English agitator as Mr. Croker has been will doubtless be pleasing to Great Britain's legislative and judi¢ial forces and will, of course, be the cause of much sor- Tow on this side of the Atlantic. But in spite of this alleged weakness in the mat- ter of libel law in the United States, it is hardly probable that Mr. Croker will de- cide to forsake us and take up his residence in England for that reason, A careful com- parison of English and American law will show that legal punishments of all sorts are more severe in the old country than in this land, so that, when all things are consid- ered, Mr. Croker cannot but prefer the United States as @ place of residence. Had he lived in England for the past thirty years he would not probably have achieved the wealth and political prominence that seem to have been so easily acquired. The English law deals summarily and severely with any one who might be foolish enough to attempt some of the many disgraceful things that In New York have been winked at by those who knew what was going on. Municipal corruption, the like of which has been the undoubted source of Croker’s great fortune and of the fortunes of many others closely identified with Tammany, is not possible in Great Britain, and even an ef- fort to make it possible would speedily re- sult in the administration of punishment so painful that it would deter those who would be quite willing to follow a vicious example. If because of the alleged weak- ness of the libel laws of the various states Mr. Croker should find residence in the re- public distasteful, the people of the United States, and even Tammany itself, would probably agree to his departure for other shores, where the exuberance of the news- paper reporter is more thoroughly con- trolled than it is here. Such migration, however, would not satisfy Mr. Croker nor would it be fair to the United States. Ab- sent from the one field in which he could: successfully operate, Mr. Croker would be extremely unhappy, and as his great wealth Was squeezed mainly out of the people of New York, he should at least be square enough to buy his groceries and his clothes from those who have contributed to his financial elevation. Mr. Croker may not like our libel laws nor the freedom of ex- Pression which is common in American Journalism, but it is not at all Probable that these defects will move him to take up his abode in any other country. —>+>___ An eminent physician is credited with having said that when a man died of tyrhoid fever somebody ought to be hanged. The remark is not as unreasonable as it appears at first, for medical science has long been agreed that typhoid fever is fairly classed as one of the preventable diseases. The local authorities, warned by the Medical Society of the District, are doing their utmost to remove such causes of typhoid as exist within the District of Columbia. That they will succeed entirely is not possible at this time, for before thor- ough success can be achieved the sewer- age system of the District will need to be considerably reconstructed and extended to @ very great extent. This, however, can only be done when Congress authorizes the people of the District to procure and expend the sum of money which carefully-framed estimates call for. Delay in acting on this matter is inexcusable. Warning after warn- ing has been sounded in tones so loud that none can claim they were unheard. ———++——___ The Pullman boycott has no feature which promises arbitration between the down-trodden public and the porter. ——-++s—___ The Lexow committee in New York will investigation that investigated. ——— ++.
