THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY.............-. January 11, 1895. PSSST ARNE ee CROSBY S. NOYES................Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more vhan the combined circulation of the other W: ington dailies. As a News @ Advertising Medium it has no competitor. absence, let & not be addressed ny individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editerial or Business Depart- mefts, according to tenor or purpose. Those who imagine that because there was comparatively brief discussion in the House as to the District appropriation bill there has been a change of heart favorable to the national capital, will, if they exam- ine the measure and read the record of yes- terday’s proceedings, be forced to confess themselves mistaken. Extended debate on District matters invariably originates with those who are always ready to object to any proposition that promises the District of Columbia ‘a dollar more than the most economical congressional mind alleges to be necessary. The bill which passed the House yesterday carries an appropriation much si r than was asked for by the Most conservative estimates—it had been slashed and pared and hammered down un- til further diminution was practically im- possible—so the professional objectors were unable to find a single protuberance at which to hack with their little hatchets. ‘The measure as it will go to the Senate is far from creditable to those who have so ruthlessly stunted its growth. Representa- tive J. B. Henderson showed this yesterday when he laid before the House figures to prove his assertion that the District, by its revenues alone, is entitled to quite half a million dollars more than it gets in the bill. It was therefore not at ali surprising that Repr. tative Ray should ask “what is the occasion for cutting down these appro- priations if they are necessary?” To this Gen. Eenderson replied that that was a conunurum he could not answer, and every other member of the House could truth- fully have made the same repiy. What will generally be regarded as the weakest spot in the bill is the comparatively insignificant amount set apart for the maintenance of our public school system. The necessities of this system have f y been pointed out by The Star and by officials and other interested persons who have appeared before Congressional comuinitt > yesterday the House had presented to it tie salieat points in the argument for a better condi- tion of afta It was told that nearly two thousand children can only go to school one-half of what should be each school day, it was told also that there are nearly fifty- four hundred colored children who are without schooling and that the number of white child similarly circumstanced is still greater. Then Gen. Henderson showed how the Commissioners had asked for twelve rew school buildings and for the reconstruction of two others, the total es- timate therefor being $00,000; the commit- tee authorizes the reconstruction of two and the erection of two, at a total cost of $120,000. Further than this, Gen. Hender- son showed that the total appropriated for buildings for four years—IS8S9 to 1892, both inclusive—produced an average of $28v,- Yi7.57 a year, while the total appropriated for the last three years for school buildings produces an average of $62,816. “If,” said Gen. Henderson, “we had appropriated for the last three years at the same rate as for the preceding years—and the growth of population has been going right on—it would have been our duty to have appro- priated, if the other appropriations were wise, the sum of $542,902. We only gave @ total of $188,450, so that during the last three years we have run behind the ap- ions of the preceding four years Notwithstanding the showing thus forcibly presented, the House made no effort to amend the bill as, for its own credit’s sake, it should have done. That the Senate will be so inconsiderate is far from probable. It is reasonably expected that many of the omissions as to which there is much of reasonable complaint will be supplied by the legislators at the north- ern end of the Capitol. es Action by the Commissioners looking to suck steps as may be necessary to compel the steam railroad companies running into this city to fence their tracks will have behind it the force of unanimous public sentiment. The people of this city have tried many times to convince the railroad companies that the dangerous grade-cross- ings within the city limits should be wiped out of existence by the elevation or de- pression of tracks, but the companies have seen fit to practically ignore public opinion. It will therefore be regarded as an emi- nently proper thing should the authorities compel the erection of such fencing as the law declares necessary. The fact that the Baltimore and Ohio company will have to put up about five miles of protection and the Pennsylvania company about one mile ls In no sense distressing to those who realize how careless these corporations have been of human life and local interests. —___+++- —— The Lydecker tunnel is just about tlie right size to serve as a pigeonhole ‘or measures that Congress should have passed and did not. —_—__ ++ + —__—_ Superintendent Byrnes sees no reason why a man should be expected to scream when 2 millionaire propcses to make him rich. —___ +e + -____ Sibley’s hound into fame ts calculated to excite the hearty envy of Champ Clark. ——___~+¢< ——_ A trew Government Printing Offce buil- ing is an acknowledged necessity. To lorger house the thousands of men and women who do the government printing and binding in a structure so notoriously unsafe as the one now standing on North Capitol and H streets is to do something that no individual or corporation would be permitted to do. Again and again the rick- ety old shell has been condemned, and for years past money has been expended in endeavors to shore up weak walls ard to prevent overloaded floors from crushing the lives out of the threatened ones who are practically condemned to work for sus- tenance under nerve-distressing conditions. From the outset of agitation there has been unanimity of outery for a safe, modern stru@ture in place of the building which everybody condemns, but aq soon as move- ment was made looking to the selection of a site for a new office there developed dif- ferences of opinion as to the most suitable site, which proved sufficient to delay pro- ceedings fcr a period so long that had it been utilized in construction would ere this have removed all cause for complaint. Syn- dicates and individuals vied with each other in extolling the advantages of their respect- ive holdings and there was much pulling of wires and personal lobbying. Some time ago the Senate decided in favor of the pur- chase of a tract of ground known as the Mahone site because its apparent owner is ex-Senator Mahone of Virginia. The House declined to agree with the Senate, and has, until recently, declared itself unalterably opposed to the erection of an office on the Mahone property. Finally it became ap- parent that the Senate would not yield, and as soon as this seemed to be clearly estab- lished the House committee on public build- ings ard grounds—unwilling to accept the responsibility for further delay—reversed its former decision and will doubtless soon recommend to the House itself concurrence in the Senate proposition. Loaded with wisdom as Congress sometimes is, it is surely capable of reaching a conclusion as to where it wants its printing-office located; on that score the general public has no grievance against the national legislature; if it prefers the Mahone site it is surely at liberty to make the purchase and to place thereon the much-needed structure. The one thing the public insists upon is that there shall be the least possible delay in providing a secure workshop for printing- office employes. In his annual report, print- ed in The Star today, the Public Printer pleads with Congress to take immediate steps to prevent the imminent danger to life and public property so frequently indi- cated in prior reports. Mr. Benedict says he is fully convinced that the ‘“H-street wing has been more than once in danger of collapse during the past from over- weighting, and that no human foresight or anxiety can wholly prevent the recurrence of such danger under present conditions.” He also says that after reading Col. Wil- son's report “confirming the worst fears as to the stability of the H-street wing,” he would have abandened that portion of the building had the means and additional working space been at his disposal. The Public Printer believes that the solving of the problem lies in the immediate erection of an annex to the present office. Congress seems to have made up its mind, however, that a new site and an entirely new struc- ture are needed. There is no disposition to quarrel with Congress on this point. The popular and humane demand is for speecy relief. ——_+ + > —_ Upon official authority it is stated that there are ninety-four men at work on the city post-office building tolay. The almost ludicrous liberality of The Star’s calcula- tion is shown when announcement is made that according to The Star’s prophetic es- timate, rinety-four busy men could com- plete the post-cffice by November 14 of the present year. It is only reasonable to assume that postage stamps will not be sold or letters mailed in the new struc- ture much prior to August 17, 1906. The building has now been under way for two years, ten months and eighteen days. —__ +++ There is a prospect of an exciting race between a new government printing office and the new post otfice, with the odds greatly in favor of the former, notwith- standing a delayed start. 2 An impression in Eurepe that New York is not far from the border of civilizatiun is likely to be heightened by Commodore Gerry's serious move to establish the whip- ping post. —_ ++. ___ If a man from elsewhere were selected to reerganize the force in New York it would brivg forth the remarkable spectacle of the police in that city being pclite to a stranger. oe Senator Quay has by this time certainly had enovgh persenal observation of de- nunciations to know that they do not cut much of a figure in practical politics. —_— <r Some of the New York officials are real- izing with regret that they went into the Tammany ring once too often. < ——————— Congress is unfortunate in the fact that it is so much easier te limit action than it is to limit debate. > ee SHOOTING STARS.

From the Providence Journal (Ind. dem.) Cengressman Sibiey of Pennsylvania,who bad not ull yestercuy attained any con- spicuous position in the public eye, seems tu be desirous cf the reputation of being the most unmaunerly boor in the House, and, though he bas a gocd many rivals for that distinction, his remarks in criticism of the President yesterday afternoon go far toward securing to him the coveted dis- honor. Reasonable and even strong criti- cism of the executive by members of the legislative branch is unobjectionablo, if honest; but vulgar personalities, even with alliteration’s artful aid, never hurt any- body but thos2 who indulge in them. That he was not called to order for his worse than unparliamentary language would seem to indicate that the responsible majority in the House in suffering its overwhelming defeat has also lost its self-respect. ~ o— Real Estate Values Steady.
