, es THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY. ..February 11, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. . Editor. = THE EVE vING G STAR hasa regular and lation much more ed circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. permanent cire t7In order to avoid delays, on ac- absence, letters to not be addressed idual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editer' or Business Depart- mefts, according to tenor or purpose. As soon as a convenient season arrives the House and Senate conferees on the Dis- trict appropriation bill will meet for the purpose of endeavoring to reach agreement as to amendments attached to the measure by the Senate. It is hoped by those who are most deeply interested in the bill that all of the Senate amendments save one will succeed in finding place in the act when the President by his signature makes it a law; the exception is the amendment which strikes out the House provision for the raising of the Great Falls dam and substi- tutes therefor an appropriation to defray the expenses of an investigation which is entirely unnecessary so far as it relates to the work upon the dam. Experts whose opinions and conclusions may not be ques- tioned even by Congress have looked care- fully into the problem of this city’s water supply and have decided that the first thing to be done is to raise the dam at Great Falls; that would give to a great many people on the higher levels in this city the water for which they pay but which they do not get. Col. George H. Elliot of the Engineer Corps—who knows as much about the Washington Aqueduct as any other living being—is emphatic in his declaration that unless the dam ts raised the city of Washington will be com- pelled to endure a serious water famine. Already is there a most uncomfortable shortage, and this will be painfully and growingly apparent during the summer months. There is demand for a speedy remedy, and this, it is admitted, can only be supplied by the proposition to which the House of Representatives is pledged. There is no necessity for such an investigation as the Senate committee on appropriations be- lieved to be proper. The Star has shown most conclusively that all the facts that could possibly be ascertained are already in the possession of those whose business it is to gather them. Why should the pub- lic, without reason, be compelled to suffer great discomfort? —_—__ + «= —_____ In the heat of congressional debate, when rhetorical swords are clattering and epigrammatic bullets are fiying thick and fast, it frequently occurs that an innocent bystander receives a more or less serious injury. Last week the situation in Hawail was being discussed in the Senate. Senator Pulmer of Mlinois criticised the present Hawatian government as anti-republican. ‘Then Senator Gallinger said: “I should like to ask the Senator how, in his opinion, it compares with the government at the cap- ital of the United States, where suffrage is absolutely denied to all the citizens.” To which Senator Palmer rejoined: “The comparison is hardly a fair one, because the foreigners there are robbing the people and here the people are robbing us.” The retort, unfair though it was and absolutely without support in fact, evoked a trifle of thoughtless laughter. It may be that some day when Senator Palmer is not being hard pressed in vocal combat and is rot in an epigram-making mood, he will either give the public specific information as to how and by whom the alleged rob- bery in the District ef Columbia is being conducted, that the thieves may be pun- ished and that he may no longer be a con- fessed accessory to crime, concealing known criminals, or he will withdraw his false and injurious statement. Slander of the unrepresented people of the capital in the legislature assigned to them by the Consti- tution is contemptible. —___ +e | —___ Congress might easily spare a little of its time to the end that justice be done clerks in first and second class post-offices. ‘There is now before the House a bill which has for its object a work of real reform; one which, if put in operation, must surely result in better service. Under the present order, or disorder, the clerk performing certain work In one office often receives but one-half the salary of a clerk who dis- charges similar duties in another city, while instances are very plentiful of two men working side by side on the same kind of matter and of the two the less capable receiving the larger salary. The proposition now in the House—a proposi- tion to make equitable equalization of Fecompense—has the approval of the Post- master General and the House committee on post-offices and post-roads. —— ree ——— ‘There Is point to the suggestion that the appropriation for the removal and dispo- sition of garbage, provided in the District appropriation bill for the next fiscal year, be made immediately available. Just now the weather !s a trifle chilly but there is promise of a speedy thaw and with more moderate temperature than we now enjoy will come serious trouble with the garbage unless means are provided for its removal from within the city limits. Already dur- ing this winter has the District been placed under obligations to an enterprising pri- vate citizens who Iifted a garbage burden weighing hundreds of tons from the shoul- ders of the Incapable contractors and a threatened community; it should not be that the authorities will once more be com- pelled to a confession of weakness. — +0 ] While the District of Columbia dollar-gas Dill slumbers in the United States Senate, the New Jersey legislature is wrestling with a similar proposition. Information laid before that body is to the effect that gas is belng made in Philadelphia under contract for 30 cents a thousand feet and is being supplied to consumers in Louisville, Ky., at 6 cents a thousand. It does not seem to be questioned in the legislature that dollar gas {s an easy possibility; the only difficulty is as the amount of security to be pledged by the gas companies that are willing to supply the people of New Jersey with a cheaper illuminant than they now have. ——~ «= __—_. ‘That Congress Is occasionally guilty of negligence little short of criminal will not be denied by fairminded people who are conversant with Congressional history— the delay in the matter of a new Govern- ment Printing Office building is strong testimony—but only at long intervals does ft develop such discreditable carelessness as has made appearance in the feeble at- tempts at legislation in behalf of the suf- fering survivors of the Ford Theater dis- agter. The last session of the Fifty-third Congress is almost at an end, yet not until today did the joint commission hold its first meeting, and from all that is Ienown about that session there is but lit- tle hope of Congressional appropriation for the relief of those who are most de- serving and whose claim upon the gov- ernment would never be contested in any civilized court. More than nineteen months have elapsed since the floors of the building fell and wrought so much @amage to life and mb, yet up to this time the widows and orphans of those who were killed have never received from the United States even so much as a stereotyped resolution of sympath @pecial committee of the Ser @fter hearing all the testimony, recommended that the government pay the dependent relatives of those who were killed in the disaster the sum of $5,000 for each death; a conclusion which the House refused to ratify, although its re- fusal was without anything that looked like a substantial foundation. In the minds of some of the legislators in whose hands this matter is there appears to be doubt as to whether the sum of $5,000 is not excessive, and so long as these men are permitted to interfere there will, it is reasonable to pre- sume, be continuation of the discreditable delay. Had the Ford Theater building been private property the responsibility would have been fixed long ago and every suitor would have secured judgment ere this, but it seems to be a governmental privilege to do, without being called to account, things that in any citizens would be regarded as heartlessly dishonest. The fact should be borne in mind that no attention has yet been given the claims of the many who re- ceived lasting injuries in that most awful of recent local mishaps; these unfortunates —many of them maimed for life and con- scious that their earthly career has been abbreviated—have as yet received no con- sideration from the government whatever. Were an individual to act in such a matter as Congress has done, he would have heap- ed upon his head more of opprobrium than one man could stagger under. —__+ o> The Foston Herald hazards the very ex- traordinary opinion that Hawthorne was the only American writer of fiction pos- sessed of genius.

He was leaving the crowd where the theater tickets for a big engagement were being sold. There was a happy look on his face, which suddenly vanished. He put his hand to his temple, and then he sald: “I guess I'll hunt up some quiet place and kick myself. That's what I'll do.” “What's the matter?” asked the friend who had overtaken him. “I have been letting the calcium light of mathematics into the opalescent mist of my enthusiasm,” he replied. “What do you mean?” “T've just figured it out that I’ve stood out in the snow in line for five hours to pay extra money for a theater seat, rather than stand up for three hours at the per- formance, where its warm and comfort- able!” An Appeal.
