THE EVENING STAR haem regular permanent circulation much more the combined circulation of er Washington dailies. As a @ Advertising Medium it competitor. 7 In order to count of personal THE STAR uld not be adi any individual connected with the of- fice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Departments, according to tenor or purpose. Once more there is appearance of con- gressional Interest in the proposition to build a new Government Printing Office. ‘The evidences of concern are to be seen at both ends of the Capitol and, had there not been so many disappointments in sessions past, hopeful people might reasonably con- clude that provision would speedily be made for a safe and suttable structure in which the government's printers and bind- ers could work without being constantly in danger of horrible death by reason of structural collapse or fire. It has been con- ceded by every senator and representative who has taken part in the many debates that have occurred on this topic that a new building 1s absolutely necessary, and there has been startling unanimity of opin- fon as to the dangerous character of the rickety old shell now occupied by more than two thousand government employes— men and women whose lives are worth just as much to them and thelr loved ones as are the lives of members of the national legislature. Senators and representatives who had personally inspected the building and who realized the awful risk that was being run, implored their fellows in the halls of Congress to do something before a multiplied reproduction of the Ford's Thea- ter disaster shocked the world. spite of general acquiescence in the new- building idea, nothing substantial has as yet been done. Small appropriations have been made to patch up the weaker places and in the death-trap at’ North Capitol and H | streets, but every bill that had for its ob- | ject the purchase of a new site and the erection of a decent building was sooner or later found to be impracticable. way of humanity and modernization; every art and wile of the lobby has been put into | practice.again and again. Occasionally it would seem as though agreement had been reached as to a site, but the active agents | of anxious speculators invartably succeeded in overturning whatever of good appeared to have been done. Some of the lobbying was of the most shameless sort, but that fact seemed to be without effect upon many m themselves to be used by those who cared nothing for the safety or health of the threatened employes; whose only interest was in the land thoy had to sell, It is sin- erely hoped that the present session will not develop the moral laxity as to the Gov- mment Printing Oitice which was so con- spicuous a feature in the proceedings of the first two sessions of the Fifty-third Congress. 208 m the manner in wi opened up yesterday before what was in- tended to be a meeting of the Senate Lis- trict committee—but which failed because @ quorum was lacking chances are good for local legisiation dur- ing the three months that must clapse before the close of the session. In an infor- mal way those members of the committee who were on duty yesterday discussed many matters of material interest, and by their apparent activity provided a founda- tion upon which several attractive but as yet airy superstructures have been erected. ‘There is no good reason why the National Capital—steadily and inexcusably neglected by Congress for four or five years past— should not recetve before March 4 a reason- able proportion of the attention to which it is entitled. Many momentous matters are now in the hands of the District com- mittees and others will be properly pressed in due season. It is but human to hope that some, at least, of the popularly-cher- ished and more deserving ideas will speed- ily be erystalized into law. ——+ « = — Sufficient time has now elapsed since the scandalous disclosures of the dishonesty connected with the Panama canal project for the world at large to give to M. de Lesseps, who died yesterday, the credit that is due to as a great engineer and @ man of genius. It is not to be doubted that if the enormous funds which were raised for this great work had been hon- estly administered the isthmus would long ago have been pierced and the two oceans joined. The later cloud on the tame of De Lesseps should not blind the world to his great talents, which were amply demon- strated by the splendid success of the Suez Canal. In the case of the Panama project the difficulties to be overcome were much greater, and so the talented engineer fell into the hands of unscrupulous speculators whose dishonesty necessarily reflected on his own integrity. —— There can no longer be doubt in the mind of any observing and intelligent per- son that something must be done soon to reheve the pressure of travel on 15th street between Pennsylvania and New York avent rhe present coudition of things cn that short thoroughfare, through which the tides of travel between the eastern and western parts of the city are constantly ebbing and tlowing in a rapidly increasing volume, is not only a great public incon- VYenience but a constant and growing source of danger to life and limb. Congress will consequently be grossly remiss in the duty it owes to the public if it does not, even in this short session, take adequate steps to provide and enforce a remedy. Manifestly the most effective course would be to widen the street named be- tween the two points indicated. This, how- ever, would be so expensive, and would in- volve such delays, even if it could be afforded, that its consideration may as well be dismissed, if not for all time, at least for the present. The only feasible remedy remaining, therefore, is to divert a portion ot the travel which now blocks the way. v be partially accomplished by the adoption of a police regulation requiring Wagons and carriages coming from or go- ing to points west of Madison Place to use the roadway on the west and south s of the Treasury Department building. But it is far more important to do something to reduce the number of cable cars now rush- ing up and down that narrow passage, and placing both person and property in danger of injury or destruction. With this end in view the plan recommended by Senator MeMivan, and heretofore suggested in these columns, must be regarded as far preferable to that favored by the District Commissioners. His proposition is for the Mt. Pleasant or Mth street branch line to leave Vania avenue at the intersection of 1ith street. That of the Commissioners, on the other hand, is to have both the Georgetown and Mt. Pleasant lines use the present track on 15th street, elther on their eastern or western passage, with a new track to be laid on 14th street between Pennsvivania and New York avenues for their trips in the opposite direction. ‘These two plans would afford about ¢ relief to the congested part of 15th street, @0 far as street car occupancy {8 con Yet in| to minimtize the danger that still | threatens those who earn their daily bread | All man- | ner of obstacles have been placed in the | mbers of both branches who permitted | appears that the | and join the main line on Pennsyl- | but in other respects, as intimated above, all the advantages are with the simpler and more effective plan preferred by Mr. McMillan. One great objection to that of the Commissioners is that the present transfer station would have to be main- tained on 15th street, where there is no room for it, with the probabilities of a de- mand for another at the 14th street, to accommedate passengers changing cars there. Another is that with both the Georgetown and Mt. Pleasant lines using 14th street, going either north or south, co- incidently with those of the Metropolitan line between F street and New York avenue, that section of that thoroughfare would be made about as dangerous as 15th street is now, and even more so when the Metropolitan or F street line shall be equipped with rapid motor power. A third and hardly less serious objection to the Cemmissioners’ plan, if it may be called that, is that, as now, the great bulk of the 14th street travel would “be carried two squares out of its way, at considerable loss of time, and swung violently around three curves, whereas by the other plan there would be but one curve—at the lth street Junction. As probably 80 if not #) per cent of the Lith streei travel is bound.to or from points east of 14th street, instead of from or toward Georgetown, this is a very important consideration to a large portion of the public. Finally, by placing the 14th street branch junction on Pennsylvania avenue, a single transfer’ station: will be sutticient for all needs, and, placed on the | south side of the avenue, it will occupy a location where there is ample room for it, without obstructing either vehicular or pedestrian travel, and where it would not be an eye-sore, as now. It is possible that a better plan than either of these may ‘be devised, but none | other has been suggested as yet. As be- tween the two it will not be difficult to choose the one that promises the more effective means of relief and at the same time the best accommodation for the traveling public. What is needed, however, is speedy and positive action toward in- suring a change from present conditions. | It is not perheps so much a matter of form as of essence, though as a matter of course the best means to secure the desired ends should be adopted. >. —___ Parents who wish their little ones to re- ceive a wholesome lesson in charity should encourage them to go to school next Mon- | day prepared to join The Evening Star | Santa Claus Club. It ts too easy for chil- dren to grow up im selfishness. No oppor- | tunity to get them out of themselves into touch with the great world of sympathy that 1s throbbing around them should be neglected. Of course a child ought to be protected from contact with useless suf- | fering, or with the gruesome features of (city life, but gentle helps for the comfort | of the poor cannot bat make better chil- dren of them, and will inevitably produce | better men and women in latter years. ‘The dimes that are needed for this worthy charity represent a splendid sentiment that | shonid be encouraged in every possible way. After several seasons of work The Star has got the Santa Claus Club on a most practical basis, and every penny that flows into the bank: in the name of the kindly saint and patron of the Yuletide is | given to a useful object. There is no un- profitable sentiment about this work. Toys and goodies are not to be thought of until every hungry mouth is silled with whole- some fuod, and every ragged garment is re- | placed by a good one; until fuel is bought for empty grates; untii shoes are given to those | | whose feet are smitten with the frosts of | winter. In every way possible the money thus raised is used to alleviate suffering, aud not a penny gves for a useless object. The supervising principals of the various schools are made the immediate agents | for the distribution of the money and they have performed their tasks so well in for- mer years that they are gladly: chosen again this season. Greater good can, of course, be done by the donors of dollars than by the younger folks with their pennies, but every little helps so much that no one should hesitate to give be- cause he or she can spare but a mite. There is n> more touching passage of the Scriptures than that which tells us of the widow, who, while giving little, gave so much. Is that spirit gone from the human heart? It is not possible, and the records of The Star Santa Claus Club of for- mer years serve to show that the world is full of generous givers, generous in the manner of giving as well as in the amount. tee | There were tea men employed on the city post-office building this morning. If they work all day—which in view of the falling rain is quite improbable—and it they or ten other equally expert and assid- uous toilers kept things moving for eight hours of every week-day, the structure might possibly be completed by February 1, 117. That estimate, however, is ultra- liberal to the extent, probably, of about twenty years. The average number of men employed daily during the week clos- ing today was forty-one and one-sixth. The average number of men employed daily for the ten weeks during which The Star has kept tab is a trifle over forty- seven. — ee It is officially announced that the Secre- tary of Agriculture has decided to sell the government’s experimental sugar factory at Medicine Lodge, Kan. Here is another great opportunity for the sugar trust to get something cheap. nel There 1s no reason why Mr. Addicks’ senatorial ambitions should occasion much concern in this city if he will make ar- rangements to leave his divorce proceedings in another jurisdiction, soe Mr. Cleveland can look back on his latest message with interest as representing the one occasion on which he caused surprise by what he didn’t say. es = Captain Howgate can depend on being able to boas. one of the most varied and complete indictment collections that this community has produced. ed ‘There is a great satisfaction in knowing that however politicians and football play- ers may feel the Chesapeake oystermen are at last peaceful. sce gpa inte Senator Hill found some very nice oranges during his southern visit, but neg- Jlects to say anything about the olive branch supply. soe - Attention will soon be equally divided between Congressmen who want to be | editors and editors who want to be Con- gressman. a ee Georgia does not want women in oftice.

The short session of the Fifty-third Con- gress opened on Monday and the Presi- dent’s message was read. The chief topic of interest was the recommendation regarding the reform in the national cur- rency. He contented himself with approv- ing Secretary Carlisle's plan, which is given in full in the latter’s report. He of- fers a national bank system, suggests a method of gallowing state banks to issue circulating notes, recommends the retire- ment of legal-tender notes and discusses the problem of maintaining the gold re- serve. Mr. Peffer made the first formal speech of the session in the Senate, criticis- ing from a populistic standpoint the recent issue of bonds, and giving his views on tinance. Mr. Lodge presented a resolution calling upon the Secretary of State for the correspondence in the case of the two Japanese surrendered and executed in China, and Mr. Blafchard presented a resolution protesting against the Turkish atrocities in Armenia. Mr. Vest made a speech in favor of a change in the rules in order to expedite Senate business, but no action was taken. Mr. Turpie delivered a speech favoring the election of Sena- tors by a popular vcte. The suicide of Arthur M. Bailey in Duluth caused sus- picion of the existence of a suicide club there. Four hundred cloakinakers of Strawbridge & Clothier of Philadelphia went on a strike. Father Ducey of New York wrote a letter, in which he charges Archbishop Corrigan with persistently per- secuting him, with setting a trap for him, and trying to influence the press to say ugly things about him. Ex-Gov. Leon Abbett of New Jersey died. Three men held up a Texas and Pacific train near Fort Worth, and obtained about $40,000, A smelter combine is about to be formed. The object of the trust is to raise the rates. Gov. John Gary Evans was inaugu- rated as governor of South Carolina. Kan- sas City physicians are using anti-toxine, the new diphtheria remedy, with great suc- cess. Evidences of carelessness was given in the trial of District Attorney Fellows, in New York, for neglect of duty. Foreign. Count Ferdinand de Lessens died at Lachenaie, near Vatan, in France. Presi- dent Cleveland decided to appoint a mem- ber of the commission that is to investi- gate the alleged Armenian atrocities. Em- peror William opened the reichstag with a strong speech from the throne, and tin- mediately afterward performed the cere- mony of laying the last stone and dedicat- ing the next reichstag building in the pres- ence of a great mass of people. The re- fusal of the socialist members of the reichstag to cheer the emperor upon the assembling of the body in the new palace aroused the indignation of the other mem- bers and caused an exciting scene. A similar scene was enacted in the Belgian parliament. The national council of Swit- zerland has requested the resumption of negotiations with foreign governments for the establishment of international regu tions upon labor questions. The Frenc Senate adopted the credit of sixty-five million francs to defray the cost of an ex- pedition to Madagascar. Reginald Saun- derson, a weak-minded young Englishman ef aristocratic family, was arrested, charged with the murder of a girl whose body was found in November on a London road. King Humbert, in opening the Ital- jan parliament, made a touching reference to the suftering and ruin caused by the earthquakes.

The District Commissioners presented | their annual report to the President on | Monday, meking a complete statement of local affairs for the past year. The Fidelity and Columbia loan associations were brovght into court by the application of certain stockholders for a receiver and the granting of an injunction against the Fidel- ity Association to prevent its taking its assets dut of the District. The Commis- sioners disapproved the findings of the police trial board in the case of Sergt. Daley, whom the board had sertenced to dismissal from the force; they approved other findings of the board in the other cases, dismissing four policemen. The Alexandria local express was wrecked at the Virginia end of the Long bridge Monday morning and Fireman William ‘T. Walker was killed. There was a conference of temperance workers Tues- day under the auspices of the W. C. T. U. The old ship Dale that has long been lo- cated at the navy yard as a_recelv- ing ship was presented to the Maryland naval militia for use at Baltimore and will be taken there shortly; this puts an end to further recruiting for the navy in this city. Local affairs in Congress re- celved an impetus by the introduction of a number of bills, and at an informal con- ference of the Senate District committee It was agreed that work should be begun at once on at least two measures—those for the erection of a municipal building and for a reduction in the price of gas. The Star's Santa Claus Club received a number of contributions from charitable persons during the week, and preparations were | completed for a final organization and distribution of badges among the children of the public schools. —e)e HOOTING STARS, A Winter Suggestion.
