The passage of & tariff bill, relieving the wretched uncer- tainty which has oppressed business, makes Sure a better state of affairs in the near Tuture—improvement in consequence of the enactment ts already evident—but there is Probability of friction between capital and labor in trades which are affected adversely by the enlarged free list or the diminution ef protective duties. The tendency of the tariff bill—curbed to a considerable extent this was pigeon. It is therefore evident that the English crow after being dealt with by an expert cook {s far from being distaste- ful to lovers of savory food, and it is quite probable that the American product is in this respect at least, equal to its transat- lantic relative. But it has not yet been proven that this is so and until it ts estab- lished by scientific investigation and demon- stration people who feel as though the Pres- ident of the United States should be fed on crow ought to procure for his consump- ton the crow of old England—Corvus Co- rone—and not, as has this Pennsylvania donor, Corvus Americanus. Another reason for this distinction may be found in the probability that Corvus Americanus is likely to be tainted by protection heresies, while Corvus Corone—reared in a free trade atmos- phere—would by nature be most likely to Uckle a tariff-reform palate. But whether the sable feathered gifts be European or American by birth, the President should be permitted an opportunity to enjoy them before their interiors are rudely filled with hay or their natural juices succeeded by embalming fluid. ——_~++.___ ; ries! reader of The Star will surely be interested in the story published today which shows how much of improvement has been made in The Star's mechanical equip- men during the past few months. Destrous of doing everything possible to modernize the work necessary to the publication of what is unquestionably the most compre- hensive and voluminous collection of news published in any afternoon paper in the world, The Evening Star Company has in- vested @ large sum of money in the pur- chase of machinery the equal of which is not to be found in any other newspaper establishment on this or any other contl- nent. Type-setting or rather type-casting machines have completely supplanted the 1 method of hand composition, while four specially-designed presses turn out the printed sheets with unexampled rapidity. Incidental to such radical changes have been occasional slight delaysit takes‘ma- chinery some time to settle down to perfect smocthness—but these are not likely to oc- cur in the future, and as a result of the increased facilities the thousands who daily read The Star will receive their copies at an earlier hour than heretofore, although the time of going to press may be later, thus increasing the length of the day cov- ered by The Star’s news. Receiving the solid support of the whole community, pos- sessing the entire confidence of those who believe in upright journalism and manly independence, and doing its utmost to de- serve all the many pleasant things said of It by those whom it delights in pleasing. The Star has not hesitated to expend more than one hundred and twenty-five thousand dollars in its composing-room and_press- room, That the enterprise displayed will be appreciated is a conclusion fully justified by The Star's experience with the people of the District of Columbia, oe A somewhat remarkable case of defective vision was developed in the Senate on Thursday while that most deliberate of all deliberative bodies was engaged in the dis- cussion of Senator Kyle's resolution fc bidding the sale or use of intoxicating liquors in the Senate wing of the Capitol during the recess of Congress, and requir- ing the Capitol police board to enforce the resolution. Among those who contributed to the debate was Senator Orville H. Platt of Connecticut, who, in response to tor Kyle's statement that “there is not a Sen- ator in the chamber today who does not know that Iquors are sold, and sold openly,” replied: “I think that tis talk which we read in the newspapers, and which to some extent has been today re affirmed by the Senator from Scuth Da- kota, to the effect that we have a bar in the Senate restaurant, and that lquors are sold over it indiscriminately, is very much exaggerated, if not untrue, The Senator from South Dakota said that, as all Sena- tors know, intoxicating liquors are sold there. I do not know it, Mr. President. I never saw it.” Mr. Platt took his seat in the Senate March 18, 18%, and has there- fore had fifteen years of opportunity to see the Senate restaurant in operation, He should consult an oculist, ——_ wee — The Governor of Formosa evidently has a long and well-filied purse. As a good Chi- nese citizen he is now filled with the spirit of uncompromising and never-dying hatred toward Japan and all that 18 Japanese, He proposes to bring about the subjection of the Japanese empire and the decimation of the Japanese nation even though it takes the last coin out of the old stocking into which he has been #ropping his financial savings for some years. He has published a schedule of the rewards he will pay for the capture or destruction of Japanese fighting ships or the killing or capturing of Japanese soldiers or saflors. The sinking of a big Japanese warship will enrich those who do the sinking to the extent of $10,000; if the warship is a small one the destroyers will receive only $6,000, A Japanese officer, dead or alive, is worth §300 to the Chinaman who has him, while the Celestial who 1s only lucky enough to get hold of an enlisted adversary will receive $150, Bearing in mind the great purchasing value of money im China and the extremely small wages paid throughout the Chinese empire, the by the Senate—is believed by protectionists to be toward paralleling in this country the labor conditions of Europe, and although ho great stride in that ‘rection has been taken, yet more than ove industry will be operated with a lower wags-scale than has heretofore prevailed. But this will be ex- ceptional, and, as the remedy therefor is in the hands of the voters, it will hardly be More than temporary, The outlook is for & complete revival of commerce and manu- factures and prosperity, —— - +06 -___ Deprived of his yellow jacket and his Dive silk overskirt at the outset of a big campaign Li Hung Chang had trouble fnough for one Chinaman, but now tt ap- Pears that the Japs have captured the Viceroy’s favorite dispatch boat and pro- dose to keep it.

A select com- mittee of the Senate investigated carefully into the accident and its surroundings and reached a reasonable conclusion concern- ing the government's responsibility, but the House was unwilling to accept the findings of the Senate committee and the result will be great and unjust delay. —-_ +e ____ Undoubtedly there will be a great rush for the position of operator of the compt- ometer in the first auditor’s office, to fill which the civil service commission will hold an examination soon. Comptometer operators are probably now on their way from all parts of the country to Washing- ton, bringing their comptometers with them. It is fair to presume that the hard times have affected this Industry as much as others, so that the great majority of comp- tometer operators would be glad of an op- portunity to serve the government at a steady salary of $1,200 a year. —— +42 ——_— Yesterday was record breaking day with @ vengeance, Four bicycle rides at Denver resulted in new time; Alix trotted the three Suman food.

Horse democrats was held on Monday morning. and on Speaker Crisp’s motion {t was decided by a vote of 180 to 21 to yield. Bourke Cockran made an emphatic speech in opposition to giving way. It was then decided, without u division, to pass sepa- rate bills putting sugar, coal, tron ore and barbed wire on the free list. The House subsequently, the same day, carried out the direction of the caucus, and the four bills were sent to the Senate, There they were sent to the finance committee, Senator Har- ris having read a letter from Secretary Carlisle stating that the putting of the articles named in the bills on the free list weuld cause a deficit in revenue of thirty millions. To many this seemed like a black eye for the bills. It was also asserted that the Secretary had vindicated the action of the Senate in refusing to put the articles named on the free list. The feature of the debate in the Senate was Senator Vest’s speech denouncing the aspersions cast upon him for his advocacy of the Senate tariff bill. All sorts of gpeculation was indulged in regarding the President’s probable ac- tion on the tariff bill, and this was in- creesed by the President's quiet departure from the city on Thursday for a rest at his seashore home, Gray Gables, to recover from a malarial attack. The Senate re- fused to withdraw from its amendment to the sundry civil bill, selecting the Mahone site for the government printing office site, and as the House had insisted on another the project fails. An appropriation of 000 for repairs to the building is avail- able, and it is heid that this is sufficient to make the structure safe. The appropria- tion of $105,000 for families of those killed in the Ford's Theater disaster was disa- greed to by the House, and this also was lost. Conventions have been held by the Indiana, Texas and Idaho democrats, the Missouri republicans and the Ohio pop- ulists; the democrats indorsed the Pre: Gent ‘and his position in the tariff fight; the Indiana convention denounced the rs opposed to him, Many congres: conventions were also held.

The superin- tendent of police was directed in the future to apply the vagrant law to all similar bodies coming here. A largely uttended eting of the certificate holders of the Washington Beneficial Endowment Assocla- tion was held to take action on the proposed transfer of thelr insurance to a New York association; a committee was appointed to adopt such’ a course as the facts, upon in- vestigation, seemed to warrant. As the time approaches for the meeting of the Pythian Encampment here the work of the citizens’ committee, which is engaged in making preparations, favorably progresses toward completion. As the result of an investi- gation into the charges affecting the corduct of police officers the Commissioners summarily dismissed ten members of the force.
