THE EV ENING STAR he a regular and permanent circulation mach nore vham the combined circulation of the othee Washington dailies. /s a News and Advertising Medium 1t bas no competitor. the Editorinl or B mets, according to tenor or 23 the House committee on ap- propriations is concerned the Distric: of Columbia appropriation bill for the fscal year 1895-6 is complete, and althoug1 it iderabie pro- portion of the immediately-vital items es- timated for have been endangered by the committes it may nevertheless be insisted that the measure is far from satisfactory to those who have at heart the real in- terests of the national capital. The grcwth of this city is continuous and healtaful, but that fact seems to be unappreciatel by legislators who, at this time, have ery much—perhaps too much—to do with local destiny. During the past year old necessities have grown naturally and new ones have of course been added to the list, yet the amount of the bill that will soon be re- ported to the House is more than two hun- dred and twenty-five thousand dollars less than the amount finally appropriated for the cu al year. Many reasonable estimates ve been unreasonably cut. The sum of $:25,00 is not extravasrant when applied to work on streets and ive- nues; that was the amount of the Com- missioners’ estimates, but the subcom nit- tee has seen fit to recommend $100000, which is more than fifty thousand dollars Jess than the appropriation that is now be- ing expended. On the tmportant item of sewers tiere has been wholesale slaughtering of figures in spite of the many thoroughly-scund arguments in favor of.extension. Especially strong was the plea for suburban sewers, in the interests of which the Commission- ers asked for $149,300; to this moderate Tequest the committee replies with a recommendation of $34,000, although this city’s suburbs are rapidly being occupied by residents of the most desirable sort: by People who have every right to their share of such essential improvements as sewers. Then there has been sweeping reductio2 in the matter of country roads; another blow at a large percentage of the District's pop- ulation. ‘he cleaning of the city’s streets ‘wit not be as thorough as the Commission- ers had planned to have it, for the estimate as to that has been much reduced. Other estimates chat shave suffered seri- ously are those as to street lighting, po Ice, fire department, the extension of the fire alarm telegraph system and the enla-ge- ment of public school facilities. As to these latter, public sentiment will demand much more of an appropriation than the subcommittee has seen fit to give; the Dis- trict Commissioners cut the school t-us- tees’ estimates for new buildings and sites down to $100,000, but decided that that sum was absolutely ‘necessary; the subc>m- mittee awards $120,000. The heaith department is not to be given what it needs, nor is there to be as much expended in charities as was appropriated for the current yeer, although thery is growing necessity for more of vigilanc> in behalf of the public health and more of liberality in charitable expenditures. The estimate for a new harbor boat—conevded to be a necessity—is wholly eliminated. Any considerable amendment in the House itself is not to be looked for, but the abilities and the precedents are favorable to increase by the Senate to at least the sum appropriated to keep thngs going until the first day of July next. —- +02 --——_ ‘The Aldrich innuendo which has extorted from President Cleveland confession of the endeavor he made to re-enthrone ‘rs. Dominis and of the failure and comylete abandonment of that purpose, will have highly beneficial results. Of course it an- gered the few who have insisted upon the righteousness of this administration's deal- ing with Hawaii, but it was by no means an unreasonable utterance in view of the remarkable secrecy with which the Presi- dent has surrounded his policy as to what is now the Island Republic. It was known to the public generally that a commission of royalists was in this city for the pur- pose of conferring, if possible, with the President and the Secretary of State, but until the Aldrich comment called forth a precise statement, nothing definite was known as to the treatment accorded the diplomatic representatives of the ex-queen, Liliuokalani. It is now evident that there was no rela- tionship whatsoever between the visi: of the commission and the withdrawal of the United States cruiser Philadelphia from Honolulu, ana it seems clear that the Presi- dent feels himself bound, without regard to his individual opinion in the matter, not to encourage {n any manner, directly or in- directly, the hopes of the Hawailan royal- ists. The happy effects which this an- nouncement must have in removing un- ‘easiness and confirming peace and quiet in the Hawaiian repulic cause a regret ‘hat it has not, through some innuendo or other- wise, been elicited at an earlier date. The President's abandonment of his royalist policy in Hawaii is evidently sincere and without reserve, and It is strange, in view of this fact, that he should not percetve the necessity or expediency of retaining a cruiser at Honolulu to protect American interests against the English-royalist com- bination. —--. see —— ‘There were employed on the city post- office butiding today seventy-one men. The Star's old calculation had it that seventy- one busy men who knew how to lay b-ick and stone and attend to the other inci- dentals ot modern construction might »os- sibiy complete the building by September 1, 1806. «By this time, however, everyone knows that seventy-one men cannot do any such thing; uniess there is immediate in- erease of force and working capacity, the pecple of Washington do not expect the new post-office to be ready to receive mail before the next century opens up. a ‘There are fears that Mr. Addicks is a victim of political asphyxiation, —— rer It ts to be regretted that the American people did not get a fair insight into the character of John Burns, M. P., until that eritically-inclined personage was abou’ to set sail for the much-beloved native land whence he came for the purpose of discov- ering our weaknesses and making them known, not only to the persons concerned but also to several others. The impressicn in the United States was that Burns »pos- sessed a more than ordinary amount of common, everyday sense, much of which he had applied toward the ameliora:ion of conditions affecting British wage-earn- ers, but it turns out after all that Burns Is but a short step from those extremists whose revolutionary doctrine takes cosni- sance of and strongly indorses the use § any and all means—the torch and as- pesination included—to secure a desired end. At a reception given in his hcnor in Boston, Burns seconded a motion in support of a resolution of sympathy with Herbert Mowbray, the English anarcl i. who is in prison in Philadelphia beca ': in a public meeting, Mowbray wivoc: ted the gospel of anarchy. Burns endeavored to excuse himself in a feeble sort of a way by stating that he favored the motion “not because of sympathy with the an- archists or their methods, but simply for the principle of free speech.” The excuse is transparent. Free speech is a much- valued right in this country, but it cannot be argued by those who favor the reign of law and order that the privilege should be debased as Mowbray and his associates would debase it were they permitted so to do. It cannot be that the duly constituted authorities—against whom redress is al- vays possible through peaceful methods— shall permit distraught men and women te shriek in public for the overthrow of our institutions and to demand aloud the bleod of those who are most conspicuous in opposing the spread of such foolish and revolutionary ideas. Mr. Burns lost a good many admirers when he expressed sympathy for the mildly-treated Mowbray. + 2 _-—___ The live wire claimed another victim yes- terday, this time at Camden, N. J. A young man walking along one of Camden's streets stepped upon a broken electric-light wire that was lying on the pavement. It is just possible that the shock might not have been deadly had there not been other wires lying around loose, but it was the victim's misfortune to fall upon a tangled mass of telephone wires that were blown down dur- ing a recent storm, so death was made certain. For half an hour a multitude of horror-stricken bystanders watched the contortions consequent upon the operations of a powerful current, but no one dared move toward the burned and otherwise dis- figured remains until the electric fluid had been cut off at the power house. If this were an extracrdinary occurrence rational excuse might be made, but murder by vagrant electric wires is today so common as to demand speedy reform. Years ago high-salaried experts did the bidding of their employers and declared loudly and insistently that neither telephone, telegraph nor electric-light wires could possibly be operated with any degree of satisfaction in conduits. Practical experience—compelled by legislation—has shown conclusively the weakness of a contention raised merely for financial reasons, and now wires work at their very best only in conduits that not so long ago were condemned by those who preferred the pole system because it was cheaper than any other yet discovered. Some of these days there will be general awakening to the too-often neglected value of human lives, and then the wires will be put underground in a hurry. —_—__ + 0 + —_ ‘The close of the year 1894 was fittingly celebrated, in a journalistic sense, by the Chicago Mail, which was issued in espe- clally attractive and seasonable form.

The bitter cry of Brooklyn has been heard, and at last measures are about to be taken to put a stop to the trolley slaughter that has been going on in her streets for more than two years. In that period eighty-four men, women and children have met a frightful death beneath the wheels of the electric cars, and hundreds have been maimed for life. Maycr Schieren has taken the first step by appointing a special committee of tive preminent citizens to investigate the trolley system, and his action has been promptly followed by that of the state railroad com- missioners, who will today begin an inves- tigation for the purpose of determining what should be done to prevent the exist- ing ful frequency of fatal accidents. The two bodies will work harmoniously to- gether. It is believed that the action of the rail- road commissioners marks the inception of a general attack on the system of propul- sion by overhead wires, not only in the ties of this state, but throughout the whole country. This should carry comfort to the inhabitants of Jersey City, Newark and other neighboring cities in which, in proportion to their population, the loss of life has been even more appalling than in oklyn.
