As a News Advertising Medium it has no competitor. f7 Im order to avoid delays, om nc- n iu peceannan to tenor or purpose. =— Secretary Carlisle and Jeremiah O'Rourke, supervising architect of the Treasury, have disagreed as to the distribution of spoils fm the architect's office, and although the Treasury Department is a capacious struc- ture it proves to be too small to contain the two officials named. Mr. O'Rourke, therefore, has been called upon to tender his resignation, and when the Secretary’s Fequest for that document has been af- firmatively responded to, another super- vising architect will be appointed who will doubtless profit by the experience of his immediate predecessor. For the fact that art and the spoils system have been pur- posely mixed up in the Treasury Depart- ment, Secretary Carlisle is not at all re- sponsible; he found that to be the condi- tion when he assumed the Treasury port- folio, and, having no deep or lasting sym- pathy with the dcctrine of civil service re- form, he has not cared to exert himself to the end that amendment might follow. With this quarrel between the Secretary and Mr. O'Rourke the general public has nothing to do, for the dispute which has ended in the official decapitation of Mr. O'Rourke originated in that ever-fruitful source of departmental trouble—the distri- bution of political rewards. Of these difficul- ties the public has long been weary and it may reasonably be expected soon to insist that every government department shall be run on a purely business basis without any regard whatsoever for the political opinions or acts of those who are or who Want to be employes of Uncle Sam. Ra- tiona! beings, unaccustomed to the Ameri- ean way of doing things, would reasonably suppose that the supervising architect of the Treasury would be an architect of note, @elected because of well-developed fitness to carry the heavy burden of responsibility that attaches to the place; as a matter of fact, supervising architects are generally chosen because their political influence is stronger than that of any one of the other candidates for the position. The whole sys- tem is wrong. Of course it is understood that architects of the highest class are not to be hired for the paltry salary of $4,500 per annum, but it is certain that arrange- ments could be made with a first-class man which would result in radical reform in the conduct of the supervising architect's office. In the face of the fact that there are in this country many of the ablest architects im the world, the government buildings that are continually going up display more of ugliness and general unsuitability than can be found in any other civilized country on the face of the earth. This effect is due to two causes: The political selection of supervising architects and the political and Pon-architectural activity of the supervis- ing architect from the time of his installa- tion im office to the hour of his departure therefrom. During the past year or so— Prompted by the marveiously-attractive ar- ehitectural exhibit at the World’s Fair— there has been a great popular awakening on this important subject. Thousands of people who never knew what a beautiful building was and who had supposed that the government bulldings they had seen in their homes were the highest type of mod- rn construction, suddenly realized that de- ception was being practiced upon the public and at the public expense. Legislative and individual effort has been made to bring about an improved condition of affairs, but up to this time the politician has succeeded im maintaining his supremacy. Men learned im matters architectural have shown con- clusively how much more expensive, slow and unsatisfactory is the system by which the supervising architect and his force con- tinue to swear than are the methods of those who have devoted themselves to the planning and construction of great edifices; local arguments in stone and brick and mortar are not hard to find. It is in the Power of Secretary Carlisle to institute reform which will give him reputation much more enduring than any likely to re- sult from his direction of the country’s finances, no matter how well this latter duty be performed. —_ +e _ —_ Deputy Coroner Glazebrook’s decision to eut off all public investigation into the causes of the Stumph fire and the un- toward circumstances surrounding that hor- ible conflagration is deserving of emphatic condemnation. While thousands of people ‘re discussing allegations—some of which may not be well founded—as to happenings directly connected with this most recent of local calamities, it is more than remarkable that a public officer, who bears so much of responsibility as Dr. Glazebrook does at this time, should announce himself ready to issue certificates of “accidental death” in the cases of those who yesterday perished within the walls of what proved to be a death-trap. At this time the cause of the fire is unknown; unless there is investiga- tion it never will be known. There is what appears to be reasonably sound evidence of carelessness as to the equipment of the fated building with suitable avenues of escape for those employed therein. There fs also a widely-circulated impression to the effect that the fire-alarm system of the city needs revision. The law and custom Provide that inquiry may be made into all matters pertaining to the violent death of ‘@ny person, and such inquiries invariably gommence with a coroner’s inquest. There 4s no sound reason why there should not be & coroner's inquest in this case; there is every reason why there should be one. If the building was improperly weak, the public should know it. If the deaths of those whose blackened remains are in the morgue were due to the absence of fire- escapes, the fact should be made plain. If imattention to a private alarm of fire re- sulted in the destruction of human life, the truth should be made a matter of record. Dr. Glazebrook cannot reverse his @ecisicn too rapidly. —_~ e-+—___. Washington is row one of six members @f the National Football Leagu>. There ts ® certain nournfulness in the reflection that we can never reach twelfth place in this combination. —___+ ¢«____. It is hoped that Mr. Breckinridge will not de betrayed by his emotion into making @ Reuben Kolb of himself. — ~ +0 + ___ Italian residents of New York are quoted as being ready to make things quite uncom- fortable for Mayor Gilroy and his political associates if the mayor declines to permit tue display of the Italian flag over the city hall on the day when those descendants of Romulus and Remus who happen to be in Gotham will celebrate the anniversary of the unification of the Italian kingdom. So far, the mayor has not given no intimation of what he intends to do with the flag- flying proposition, but it Is the earnest hope ot the great majority of those who dwell fm this country that he will promptly and firmly put his foot on the request and keep ft there until the Italian anniversary has ene by. The same treatment should be accorded all other nationalities. There has — been entirely too much of hyphenation and not enough of Americanism. When an indi- vidual born of foreign parents in a foreign land takes the oath of naturalization his allegiance to the land of his birth or to ny foreign power dies instantly; from that time forth he may legally and properly claim the protection of the Stars and Stripes. He is not an Italian-American or a Spanish-American, or a French-American or an Anglo-American. He is either an American or he is not. Poets have sung of love of country, and the sentiment—for which millions of men have given up their lives—should not be needlessly crushed, but when a man voluntarily elects to leave his native land and to dwell elsewhere because in the new home are better conditions and Possibilities almost unbounded, he owes to the country of his adoption his all of loy- alty and to the flag which protects him an undivided patriotism. ——__~+o+___. It is announced in a semi-official way that the law which was intended to compel the attachment of fire-escapes to all bulld- ings fifty feet or more in height is so de- fective that it cannot be enforced. The law im question was placed upon the statute books in January, 1887. Since then two at- torneys for the District have declared the measure impossible of enforcement, but it is not known that the local authorities made any very strenuous effort to have the statute amended to the point of usefulness. AS @ consequence, property-owners who were careless as to the lives of tenants or employes have steadfastly refused to abide by the spirit of the law or to follow the dictates of common humanity. It may have been wisdom to accept the opinion of a legal adviser as to the efficiency of the law, but to the average citizen the suggestion comes easily that the proper course to pur- sue would be to make a test case, and in the event of the people being defeated in the sult, to go before Congress with the record of the court and demand impregnable legislation for the protection of such as those whose days came to an end a few hours since amid so much of horror as causes the sympathetic mind to shudder at the mere suggestion. —_—>+oe—_____.

She was thoughtful for some time, then she said: “Hiram, I can’t say yet. Not till our de- bating society has passed on the question whether a woman's first duty is to her fireside or her country.” ——_-- ++ _____ The Star Congratulated. From the St. Paul Dispatch. The Washington Star takes pardonable pride in calling attention to its magnificent press room, which has recently been fitted up with four new Potter presses of the lat- est and most improved style, capable of turning out many thousands of Stars every hour. The progress that has been made in the mechanical process of getting out a metropolitan rewspaper is strikingly ex- hibited in The Star office, and it is not to be wondered at that a throng of people con- gregate around the large plate glass win- dows that let light into the press room to watch the great machines at work. There are few more interesting sights than to see one of these presses at work, and the Dis- patch can speak from experience, since it has daily visitors to its own press room. ‘The Star is to be congratulated as well upon its stereotyping foundry and com- posing room, illustrations and descriptions of which are given in its issue of a recent date.
