Congress, having failed in its duty and purpose of providing @ new building, sought to quiet its own conscience by an appropriation of $75,000 to erable the chief of engineers to put the old one “in a safe and secure condition.” But out of this sum is to come also the money meeded to rent any buildings the pubiic Printer may deem necessary. Legislative history furnishes few more striking ex- amples of the absolute failure of a body to carry out its own intent than this case of the Government Printing Office. Congress has long been aware of the dangerous state of the crowded and dilapidated old building on North Capitol street. For several years it has been tryirg to provide for a new printing odfice, and at each session the effort has been defeated because of conflicts arising over the question of site. It was aroused to more than ordinarily active interest in the matter when the Ford's ‘Theater disaster brought to mind the terri- ble consequences that might result from a eentinued neglect of the Government Print- ing Office, and the frightful responsibility that might rest upon Congress. If there Was any one measure which it seemed would be sure to go through Congress by Beneral consent dt the session just closed it ‘Was one appropriating for the erection of a new Government Printing Office. Yet at tke last moment the purpose of Congress was defeated because of the influence brought to bear in the interest of a certain site. This failure was humiliating to Con- gress. It may be deplorable in its conse- quences. With some notion of making amends for this miscarriage, Congress granted a repair fund of 00, It is doubtful, however, whether that or any other sum short of enough to completely Feconstruct the building, will suffice to put it “in a safe and secure condition.” Already the interior of the building shows the results of the patching policy of other Congresses. To introduce more timbering in the struc- tere would probably add to its dangers, Father than insure its safety. It is doubtful whether the old material could stand the Strain of the patches it is proposed to put upon it. The engineer efficers will undoubt- edly perform their duties as efficiently as any men could, but Congress has called upon them to perform an impossible task im requiring them to put this dilapidated structure “in a safe and secure condition.” It is only to be hoped that Congress, when it reassembles in November, will set to werk with on earnest will to atone for its sins of omission in this respect, and with a @etermination not to be baffled in its pur- pose by any real estate scheme. toe A review of recert state legislaticn is sur- rising and pleasing in one respect, and that is In the evidence given of the earnest thought betng applied in many parts of the country to solving the various problems rising out of the liquor question. In Massa- chusetts, where the legislature* failed to make laws bearing directly on the liquor traffic, provision was made for an inquiry which may in the end have great influence on such legislation all over the country. This is an inquiry by the bureau of sta- tistics and labor as to the relatioas of the liquor traffic to crime, pauperism and in- Sanity. This will be the first official in- quiry of the kind ever conducted, and its value to those interested in advancing tem- Perance reform will undoubtedly be great. When a state has written down in its own records as the result of an official inquiry @ statement of the misery of all kinds traceable to the liquor traffic it can have little excuse for not making laws of the most stringent character governing that traffic, ——_~+2s___. From all over the country come reports tadicating that business is reviving. Where is no longer uncertainty regarding The tariff, and in some sections business ® taking on the appearance of a boom. &t leest the volume of business has in- areased so much as to seem like a boom When compared with the records of the Bast two years. The southern men who Bre ursing the establishment of a perma- Ment exhibit here, illustrative of the re- sources of the south, and otherwise work- ing to bring to the attention of the coun- try the industrial advantages of Dixie land, seem to have started in with their work at a sood season. They will catch the tide ef returning national prosperity. —_—_-+o—___..

The war news from Asia is guaranteed to suit all tastes. —-+ + + In an era when few things essential are Yegarded as impossible there is but little encouragement likely to be given to him who insists that the forecasting of weather te an exaet science—that it must ty be largely hephazardous and governed principally by eccentricities closely related to those which are common to faro end roulette and other gemes of chance. Pepular sympathy wiil tend to sustain those men of science who are of the opinion that such a thing as unerring Weather-prophecy will ere loms ve of such common oceurrence attract Ne attention whatever. Promi- at among those who have given much thought te the probable connection of natu- na and great atmospheric dis- Dr. M. A. Veeder of Lyons, N. stor awaits with the impatience of an enthusiast the results of observations of the aurora borealis whieh are being taken by Peary, Nansen and the Jackson and Harnsworth expedition. When the facts which these explorers are now supposed to be gathering have been received, compari- son will be made with records of observa- tions taken by scientists in all countries where the aurora displays its weird and un- Viained magnificence. Dr. Veeder has al- ready satisfied himself that auroral dis- plays and thunderstorms bear important Felation to sun spots. The auroral displays eccur at intervals of about twenty-seven and a quarter days. This corresponds to the time of the rotation of the sun upon its axis as viewed from the earth, which is, of course, advanced in its orbit in the same direction as that in which the sun turns upon its axis. Dr. Veeder says that if the surface of the sun be imagined as divided into twenty-seven parts, like so many sec- tions of an orange, it is possible to learn frem records long and carefully kept just “kere each of these sections was situated with relation to the earth on any given date. The number and size of the spots in each of these sections at given dates are also to be learned from the record. Care- ful study has “evolved the fact that such sections of the sun as are marked with many and persistent spots invariably come irto view by rotation whenever there is an avrora. The aurora, however, is not in- variably seen when a spotted section of the sun bears such relation to the earth, but sometimes, instead, thunderstorms seem to take its place, and when there are neither thunderstorms ncr aurora there are de- veloped electrical earth-currents powerful enough to disturb telegraphic transmission and to agitat2 the compass. Out of all the investigation which has been, is being and is to be made, Dr. Veeder and other learned people hope to develop intimacy between the spots on the sun and the weather on the earth. But if Dr. Veeder succeeds in prophesying precisely the weather for three months to come, he will still be a long way behind the gifted seers who through the medium of the old-fashioned and ever-re- Mable almanac provide the entire continent with one kind of weather for every day in the year; and it is always seasonable weather too. —__~+e——_—_—_ The railroad company may claim exemp- tion from responsibility for Miss Mary Flaherty’s death at 6th street and Virginia avenue yesterday because the gates were down. If, however, there had been no grade cressing at that point, and it is a point wkere there is much travel, there would, of ecurse, have been no fatal .accident. It should not be that the lives of citizens should depend on their understanding the meaning of railroad signals, or of opening or shutting of gates. Human Ife should not be risked on the vigilance or lack of vigi- lance of a gatekeeper, or on the working of a gate. There is a way of removing the danger altogether, and that is to abolish the grade crossing. It does not appear that the purchase of fifty rifles by Robert Louis Stevenson had the effect of terrorizing the Samoan rebels into a state of peace. It has been found necessary to employ British and German genboats to reinforce this effort of Mr. Stevenson. The latest reports indicate, however, that the combination against the rebels has been successful, and that they are now suing for peace, promising sub- mission to Malietca. —___>+-—___ The Knights of Pythias who did not come to Washington will undoubtedly be sorry for it. No body of men assembled together for a week has ever been favored with finer weather than that which the Order of Knights of Pythias has enjoyed while in Washington. The pleasure which a week in Washington in such weather affords is a@ notable addition to the enjoyment re- sulting from the hospitable labors of an energetic entertainment committee. The optimist is the man who looks out upon the early morning fog which so regu- larly visits us nowadays and greets it as a result of that smoke which it was prom- ised would spout forth’ from factory chim- neys innumerable as soon as the tariff question was settled. ——___ +e That ringing silver tone which echoed so loudly during the events leading up to the recently opened campaign appears to have struck an impediment in the bronchial tubes of the stump speaker. ——_ ree —_ A good many congressional fences appear to be so badly broken down that the other fellow will not have to pull down even as much as a rail to ride through, band wagon and all. —_—_+ eo ___ Mr. Gould’s yachting is said to have cost him $400,000.

An Explanation. From the Kansas City Star. The absence of opposition to the renom- iration of Gov. Waite in Colorado is easily explained. It ts thoroughly understood that Waite has made it impossible for the popu- | lists to win in the approaching election, and | no other member of the party covets the job of leading it to defeat in November.
