THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washir-gtom dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium has no competitor. &7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters THE STAR should not be addressed any — connected with simply to THE STAK, or to the Eattoriat or Business Department, te tener oF purpose. In yesterday's Star Commissioner Powell called attention to the fact that the Sen- ate District committee had apparently pigeorholed the House bill which provides that illuminating gas of twerty-two candle . Power shall be sold in the District at the Fate of $1 per thousand feet. Careful in- vestigation into the subject of house illumin- ation has convinced the general public that gas can be profitably manufactured and sold at the rate provided in the Hotse bill; the conclusions were reached through testimony given by the gas company itself. That such @ reduction might be followed by a tem- porary depression in the company’s re- ceipts is probable, but it is safe to prophesy that within a year the company would be doing more business and making more money than it would have made with the Present prices in effect. The reform to which the Senate committee seems to be unwillirg to give its assent has been suc- cessfully brought about in other cities, and the irvariable experience is that cheaper gas simply means its more liberal use. The House bill cannot be regarded as a hasty Piece of legislation; it was considered in comm!ttee for a long time, and many hear- ings were had before it was decided to make a favorable report to the House. The diouse promptly indorsed the action of its committee, and for about four months the measure has been in possession of the Sen- ate com mittee. If the Senate committee has done anything with the bill the public has not heard of it. The present session is almost at an end, but there is still ample time available in which to make the bill a law. In times past the Senate has repeat- edly shown itself to be a true friend to the best interests of those who reside in the District of Columbia. Why is there delay as to this important n.easure? ———_+e__. Commander Folger and Lieut. Field, offi- cers of our navy, have, it is reliably stated, irdulged in one of those disagreements common among men who have a reasonable share of that independence of spirit which, as a rule, is a valuable possession. It seems that their ship was cruising in Alas- kan waters when Commander Folger thought he saw land and ordered Lieut. Field, who was officer of the deck, to take soundings and to enter in the log-book his commanding officer's post-Columbian dis- covery. But Lieut. Field said there wasn’t any land where Commander Folger insisted there was, and he therefore declined to evmber the ship's log with guesses. Finally it was developed that what Commander Folger imagined was land was really noth- ing more substantial than a Bering Sea cloud, but, instead of indulging in regrets ever his visual error, Commander Folger proceeded to put Lieut. Field under arrest for refusing to obey the peremptory order to proclaim “Land on the weather bow” on the log-book. Information as to the oc- eurrences referred to having reached the Navy Department, the matter was care- fully considered and the question decided in favor of the lieutenant. The determina- tion has every appearance of righteousness, although some sticklers for excessive dis- cipline may argue otherwise. The officer of the deck is responsible for the ship's log, and he should not, say the Navy Depart- ment people, be required to record therein the fancies of his official superior. Sup- pose a captain should (highly improbable, of course) after having exchanged the regular courtesies with the officers of, say, a Rus- sian cruiser, declare that a Nile-green ana- conda had taken possession of the quarter deck, or that crimson mice with long red, white and blue horns were running handi- cap races under A. A. U. rules on the ward- rocm table, how embarrassing it would be for the junior who had not participated in the courtesies to make official record of the remarkable statements. And how difficult it would be to convince sceptics of the truth of a captain’s averment—duly en- tered—that as he was returning from shore festivities the planet Saturn collided with his gig and was smashed into several pieces, one of which struck him and ren- dered him unconscious for several hours, so that he had no recollection of the precise time or manner of his being put aboard. As a rule it is a good thing to equip ship’s captains with all powers, but that history be not perverted the authorities believe it may be just as well to stick to the regula- tions which direct the officer of the deck to run the ship's log. —__ + e+ —__—_ No rebuke can be too severe for the eight- year-old Chicago boys, who, according to Fecent testimony before the strike commis- sion, set fire to the freight cars, terrorized thousands of people, and obstructed a nz- tion's traffic, to say nothing of the discredit which their tnauthorized actions have brought upon very many inoffensive per- fons, who, it seems, were rioters, if at all, cnly in a Pickwickian sense. Nothing less than a vigorous spanking in the case of each of the culprits would seem to meet the requirements of the situation. The expression “playing the baby act” takes on @ new meaning in the light of these modern instances. ——__- +42. ‘The report that the collection of the in- come-tax would have to be left to the con- science fund was indeed startling. —_ e+ ___ There is small prospect that the tariff bill, as passed by Congress, will become a vetotal wreck. —- - +0 ____ It is seriously announced that Represen- tative Bryan of Nebraska has devoted what he terms his “quota of plants from the Botanic Gardens” to the decoration of the grave of Thomas Jefferson. A more affecting tribute than this can hardly be imagined, and many sympathetic tears will roll adown the cheeks of those who worship the memory of Monticello’s sage. Meek and lowly followers of Jeffersonian doctrines Lave at times hoped that some day honors would be heaped upon the sod beneath which is the last resting place of him who prepared the Declaration of Independence, but never in the most optimistic of their dreams did exaggerated mental visions be- hold the beauties of Mr. Bryan's “quota of plants from the Botanic Gardens’—the blossoming cacti, the graceful palm, the fragrant heather and the gorgeous tulip. Daisies and roses were looked for, holly- hocks regarded as probabilities, golden-rod permitted, but beyond these and a few other of the simpler wild and cultivated varieties no Monticellan hopes had soared. ‘And now comes this torrent of generosity which promises to make Jefferson's grave blossom with floral radiance such as is likely to break the horticultural record. How this example is going to affect the remainder of the Fifty-third Congress may mot now be guessed at, but the chances ere that the ancient and honored practice of distributing among constituents such blossoming and other verdure as can be secured from the eleemosynary institu- tior which Superintendent Smith has con- ducted with such admirable success will be continued until the end. A few states- handful or two of the cut flowers they beg from the Propagating Gardens, but such lavish prodigality as that of Mr. Bryan is not likely to be contagious enough to cause comment. Curious people may wonder and ask what Thomas Jefferson—the premier advocate of governmental simplicity and administrative economy—would think of Congressmen who call upon the nation to provide them with valuable plants and rare orchids. No one knows, and, what is more, no one cares. It is enough that Mr. Bryan has elected to beautify the Jefferson tomb, even though he may do it in a consipicuously un-Jeffersonian, or even anti-Jeffersonian, fasbion. Mr. Bryan has, however, dene more than a little thing. With his sen*torial campaign just about to get something. move on itself, and with many an emp’ flower-pot in Nebraska, he is careless of his future that he mgy honor the shades of him whose departed, yet ever-present, great- ness he adores. Greater love hath no Con- gtegsman than this: That he lay down his quota of plants on the grave of a man who, by reason of his occupancy of a grave, has become as a resident of the District of Columbia, and can no longer exercise the American voting pritilege. + -—_— The blame for the burning of freight cars in Chicago was laid first on the strikers, then on the rioters and now on the small boy. There’ seems nothing left for the small boy but to aver that the fire w: caused by a stray dog who wandered by with a kerosene can tied to his tail. There are some who shudder to think of what might have occurred at the coming conclave if Mrs. Lease had bestowed on the Knights of Pythias the attention she Save the Masons. —_——_~e+—___ With due respect to the talent that may await development in the Capitol, it is suggested that what the average constitu- ent yearns for is appropriations and not poetry. —+++____.

The difficulty predicted for the income-tax collector is a slight matter compared to that of the advocate of the Chicago plat- form who is trying to collect his thoughts, —— - wee The news product of the China-Japan war has at least the merit of durability.

To hook such tiny fry as that One's heart mvst surely harden, For what he called a school of fish Was just a kindergarten. A Polite Paradox. “His expressicns are very objectionable,” said the precise young woman. “1 think I shall have nothing more to do with him.” “Why?” inquired her companion. “He writes me that he reached home in good shape.” “That is thoughtful on his part. “I know that. But ‘good shape’ is such bad form.” In a Capitol Corridor, Where once the scng birds gathe-ed all is melancholy now; Words of deep regret are spoken; there's a frown on many a brow; In vain we look for melodies that cheered us long ago.

But it'll put an end to some mighty fine sport in speculation.”” Then and Now. In earlier years, when sentiment, Expanded in his soul, Oft to the forest shade he went Where murmuring brooklets roll. But nowadays he doesn’t care For streams in sylvan lands; He haunts, indoors, the corner where The water cooler stands. In earlier years he loved to lle Beneath the quivering trees, And let his locks about him fly , Responsive to each breeze. 'Tis long since joys like these he quaffed; The youth is now a man Who bares his bald head to the draft Of the electric fan. —_~e+e___. A Test. From the New York World. If Mr. Croker’s admirers have the courage of their convicticns, including those to which they are Hable from any unprejudiced jury, they will gratify his desir> for greut- ness’ by nominating him for mayor and al- lowing the people of New York to say just how much bossism they think essential to their happlaess. —__o2___. The Law's Inadeauacy. From the Kansas City Times. If Gen. Coxey could be prosecuted under the law for getting the comraonweslers to Washington under false pretenses, as many a man has been for getting money under false pretense, he would be returred to jail instead of being allcwed to run for Con- gress. ———_+ +____. An Interesting Question. From the Pittsburg Dispateb. In the first year of his first term Presi- dent Cleveland busied himself in writing vetoes. In the first year of his second term his vetoes have been about as scarce as hen’s teeth.
