‘THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY.................July 24, 1894, CROSBY S. NOYES. Editor. ‘THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. wv at simply to THE STAR, o: the Edttortal or Business a ‘There was a fire in the Government Pett ing Office yesterday. Only a small one it is true, but it might easily have been large enough to bring about the destruction of the building and incidentally the departure from earth of several hundred souis. In itself the incident was irsignifigant, but It served to once more call attention to the shameful neglect of Congress. Every per- son who has examined the main Govern- ment Printing Office structure on H and North Capitol streets has condemned ig while many of those who daily toil therein ere aware of weaknesses not apparent to the casual investigator. Public printers have reported as to its unfitness and its dengers; architects and builders have echoed the warnings, and congressional committees have contributed words to the leng chapter of protests, but no conclusion has been reached, nor does there appear to be any lIklihood of agreement between those whose harmonious action is necessary before anything can be done to materially improve present condifions. The Senate appears to be willing to do what ft can, and the House seems to be just as anxious as the Senate ever was, but one insists upon what it affects to believe is the best site while the other is quite sure that it alone has the correct idea as to where the new printing-office building should be located. All sorts of influence have been exerted in behalf of property-owners, who, having failed to sell to private parties, wanted the government for a customer; each failing to Secure a verdict in his own favor seems to have engaged with spirit in the work of making it certain that no one else should succeed. It is altogether too bad that the Congress of the United States finds itself unable to rise superior to petty considera- tions and do its duty by itself and by the thousands of men and women who labor for a livelthood in what Congress itself con- cedes is an unsuitable, unhealthy and un- safe building. Is it possible thaf this ses- sion will come to an end without appropria- tive action by the two houses? There was, it will be remembered, a similar deadlock over the City Post Office site, but the com- mittees of the House and Senate managed finally to get together cnd the result was an agreement. Why may not a joint com- mittee do as well in this Government Print- ing Ofice matter? —-- ree __ Intelligent people who heard or reas the Utterances of Debs ond his immediate as- Scciates during the stormy perints of the now deceased railroad strike, find it diMicult to regard with serlousness the defense whieh he now makes in the United States Court. in which he is charged with con- tempt. According to the answer filed by the attorneys for the officers uf the Ameri- can Railway Union, none of the indicted men seem to have had much to do with the strike, or were in any way conterned in the stoppage of rallrvad traffic. which was such a conspicuous feature of the labor troubles of a Wee o> two ago. For themselves they may, perhaps, properly deny that they counseled or approved any act of violence, but it is nothing less than absurd for them to declare that none of the members of the American Railway Union participated in the acts of Violence which were committed, for many of the persons arrested red-handed aze known to be members of the organizaticn in question. If disregard of the court's in- junction is contempt of court, then Debs and Howard and Kelther and Rogers and a good many hundred others whose names have not, as yet, been prominent, are un- Questionably guilty of all they have been cha-gel with. zoe There was a wreck on the coast at Sea- bright, N. J., on, Sunday afternoon and for two hours five sailors clung to the rigging of their sunken vessel while efforts were being made to find a crew that would man the lifeboat and proceed to the zescue. The necessary crew was finally gathered, and after four miles of a pull landed the dis- tressed mariners in the midst of an enthu- Silastic and hospitable multitude. The liber- ality of summer visitors reimbursed the life- Saving crew for the energy demanded of them—although they would doubtless have done the work for nothing—and that action calls attention to the governmental failure to perform en important duty. Lack of sufilelent appropriation by Congress com- pelled the closing of life-saving stations during the summer months, although the records show that many disasters take Place during the period when Congress Seems to belfeve that the virtue of life saving need not be practiced. Congress should be ashamed alike of its cruel econ- omy and of the fact that private individuals id cheerfully that which should have been fone oy the general government. —. Administration organs thet speak of Sen- ator Gorman’s latest endeavor as “an ef- fort to explain” may as well be honest and Pray that the Senator cease to further ex- ert himself. + ¢ Some of these days the President will ‘Write a letter that will compel Senater Gor- man to teil all he knows abcut the Butler Vote in King’s County in 1888, —-_+ > In the use of such words as “perfidy” end “dishonor” in relation to the Senate's 2ction upon the tartif bill lies the sting of the President's arraignment of the upper legislative body, and to this count of the in- dictment Senator German ma: yesterday an extremely effective reply. There is noth- ing novel or to be particularly resented as extraoriinary or unexpected In the Presi- dent's intervention in congressional legisla- tion. He has done it before. His party Is accustomed to It. Nor can the use of the private letter as a means of intervention be mad reasonable cause of indignant surprise. Nothing in his experience has ever susgested to him that he ts not at per- fect liberty both to direct a democratic S$ as to the course which it should . and to select without limitation the most pleasing or convenient method to him of conveying to it his wishes.

It was clearly unwise on the President's part to be so severe with the conservative Senators for an alleged violation of political platform promises. Even ‘f he had not, as charged by Mr. Gorman, intentionally assented to the Senate amendments and Participated in this particular “perfidy,” he had most certainly violated outrageously and persistently in the local recordership appointments the pledze of the bome-rule Plank of the democratic platforms. Are there platform planks of which the viola- tion is perfidy, and others to which no obil- gation attaches, and which may be broken with impunity? The President would be stronger with the People in his demand of free coal and free fron, if he had also fought for free sugar. When -Mr. Gorman says that the Presi- dent had promised dutiable sugar among his pre-election pledges, and intimates that his interest in free coal is of a personal Maracter, he returns a Roland for the President's “perfidy” Oliver. It is a very interesting mud-slinging encounter. ——__ +++ ___ It ts but a little while since most of the Baithmore newspapers reached what seemed to be a conclusion favorable to the overhead wires of the trolley system. The delights of rapid transit were dwelt upon, and towching excuse was made for the increased mor- tality which was consequent upon the adop- tion of whit, to Baltimore, seemed to be an ideal system of street-car propulsion. But experience teaches even Baltimoreans, and there is now a lively and rapidly-growing sentiment which condemns the overhead wires as nuisances, and demands their speedy buzial beneath the surface of the streets. This change has not been brought about by missionary work, nor by the dis- semination of theory; it is the direct result of close personal acquaintance with the much-lauded system. Electric-light wires and trolley wires have recently combined on more than one occasion to paralyze the city’s fire-alarm system, and on Sunday night thousands of people were in danger of electrocution from falling wires and crossed wires and poles into which the vagrant current had been permitted to run. It is difficult to understand how the fatali- tles that were on tap were avoided, but the geod sense of the people of Baltimore is doubtless responsible for the fact that no deaths ensued. Why may not that same good sense be used in a campaign against all overhead wires? It has been demon- strated that underground wires have never, im any way, interfered with the workings of the fire department, or threatened the public safety in any event. The argument is made by those who Insist upon gverhead wiring, that the conduit systems are ex- pensive. That they are more expensive than non-burial is broadly, perhaps, true, but the superior service rendered by the un- derground wires and the reduced cost of maintenance more than compensate fo: the increase in the first cost of equipment. Washington has steadily insisted upon the burial of ail manner of electrical wires, and hopes, in the near future, to be able to boast et being un American city in which ali the wires are safely laid in conduits. ——_+ « > ___.

Ah, what a wild duet was that! It caused strong men to flee; Each sang “I am a democrat,” But in a different key, Ample Reason. “Her voice doesn’t display any remarkable ” said the first-nighier. “Why do you ise her as a high soprano?” “She costs me five hundred a week,” re- plied the manager.
