CROSBY S. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Was! stom dailies. As a News and Advertising has no cumpetitor. 7m order to avoid delays, om ac- count of personal absence, letters t THE sv. hould mot be addresned te any fi dual connected with the fice, but simply to THE STAR, or to Editorial or Business Depart- My secara hn nen < or purpose. Anxious that the District of Columbia stould have all the appropriation it needs for the establishment and maintenance of essential institutions, the Senate today in- sisted upon its amendments to the District appropriation bill and requires another meeting of the conferees. The committee of conference will be called upon to agree, if possible, as to a double-headed propost- tion in which there is general public inter- est and which deserves the support given it by the Senate—the police and fire de- partment relief funds. The Senate provided “that hereafter, whenever a de‘lciency shall occur in the police or firemen’s relief fund, the Commissioners of the District of Co- lumbia are authorized and directed to de- posit with the Treasurer of the United States, out of the receipts from fines in the police court, in order to meet such de- ficiency, a sum not to exceed four thousand dollars per annum for the police fund, and two thousand five hundred ¢ Mars per an- num for the firemen’s relief fund.” The provision is highly commendable. It can- not but result in betterment of the service gendered by the employes of the two de- partments mentioned. All the civilized world over there is unanimity as to the propriety of such expenditures as are made out of the funds in question. The character of the work done by policemen and firemen is physically more wearing and altogether more dangerous than the exertion required of others who are municipally employed, and it {s merely right to assist in the support of funds out of which the disabled officers or the dependent survivors shall receive ald sufficient to keep biting poverty at bay. ‘The conferees will probably meet within a few hours for the purpose of settling dif- ferences of opinion that should not be wholly irreconciliable. Whatever else they may do they should deal humanely and justly by the relief funds of the police and fire departments. —__+e+=___ One of the remarkable features of recent political campaigns has been the tinplate discussion; in which on one side ft has been insisted that such a thing as Amert- can tinplate never did exist and probably never would, while on the other the declar- ations were emphatic to the effect that tinplate was being successfully and ex- tensively manufactured In several places in the United States. There is no cam- paign on just now, so chis is a good time to call attention to a report by our consul at Cardiif, South Wales; a report in which he says that the tinplate industry in that country—once the only source of supply: is about gone. The consul quotes a Welsh newspaper which says: The American tinplate works, which it was thought would have to stop, are going on as vigorously as ever, competing for d often securing orders which formerly to this country. Their position has ly improved recently, Inasmuch as ave obtained a reduction in wages t 30 per cent, while in this country the strong effort made in the same dir has up to the present time proved futile, except in a few isolated cases. Prob- ably the most striking feature of the year's trading hag been the seriously dintinished call for terneplates from the United;States, the native works being equal to supplying almost the whole of that important trade.” Such testimony as this seems to Indicate at least that American tinplate is not wholly a creation of the imagination, and to point to an ultimate verdict favorable to American resources. soe In a communication to The Star, printed elsewhere in this issue, is advanced a prop- osition to erect in this clty a memorial which shall fitly honor the late Frederick Douglass; a memorial which may either be a monument to or a statue of the great freeman. That the idea wil! take deep root and grow speedily is the most natural of probabilities, for of all men of African descent who have made for themselves places in the front rank of American civil- ization no other achieved the position which is universally accorded Frederick Doug- lass. There should be no effort to en- courage the donation of large sums by wealthy admirers; the testimonial should come in small amounts, and, to a con- from the many of the race whose liberation Douglass labored. It perhaps, true that a considerable pro- nm of those who may be termed “the * of that race have not fully appre- invaluable services rendered st directly, by Douglass, but it that with his departure will come alization as to his value. siderable extent, for is, more —___+ e+ --—__.

Macdonald of the Bureau of Education at the Princeton meeting of the Psychological Association. He had conducted a series of experiments on the sensitiveness of individuals to pain and ascertained that Americans are more sensitive than Englishmen or Germans. This may have no bearing directly upon the susceptibility of Americans to disease, but it indicates on the surface that the Americans are more nervous and more highly sensitive than the Saxons and Teutons. It would be valuable now to note by observations conducted in Europe whether the conclusions of Dr. Billings, particularly as to the Irish and Germans, are carried out in respect to these peoples while in their own countries and sur- rounded by their own climatic and social environments. Should a difference exist be- tween these two conditions it will be fair to assume that it has been caused by emi- gration. Yet the general belief is that the conditions of such peoples have on the whole been ameliorated by their coming to this country, though this cannot be demonstrated until the inquiry has been broadened in the direction indicated. Over 10,000 Jewish families, comprising over 50,000 persons, were included in this in- quiry. The great number of the Hebrews examined would serve to show that Dr. Billings’ conclusions as to them must be very nearly accurate, for quite definite data would necessarily come from noting the conditions of 50,000 people. It is to be assumed that the majority of these are residents of New York city, where there is a tremendous Hebraic population. It is known that the region in New York city most affected by the Jews as a place of residence, in what is known as the East Side, with the intersection of Hester and Ludlow streets as the center, is now the most densely populated part of the world. This is due to the construction of high tenements, on almost every square foot of territory, which are filled from.cellar to roof with large families. The popuiation, in this quarter varies from 500 to 1,000 per- sons per acre, and in the locality before specified the higher figure is reached and maintained for quite an area. If the Jews preserve their higher average of tife under such circumstances, the strength of the national characteristic must be admitted. — - + 0«s ____ The newspapers have attended to the situation which makes it clear that Miss Gould’s marriage will be distinguished from the ordinary by not being a “quiet wed- ding.” + ¢ = This country may find it necessary to set up @ nobility plant of some sort in order to see if we cannot move on Europe and marry a few foreign dollars. —_s eo ____ Capt.

Mr. Dolph, on April 11, . voted with twenty-nine other Sena- tors to dismiss Mr. Young from a place he had held honorably for many years, which he had not forfeited by any mis- conduet. He was accused of revealing the secrets of the Senate, and opportunity to make a defense was denied him, and Dolph veted with the majority that vacated his office. It was a disgraceful proceeding, enworthy of the Senate or of any decent body of men. Dolph was one of the men who made Young a scapegoat for the leaki- ness of Senators. Mr. Young had many warm friends In the Senate at the time, and a host of friends out of it. He has them yet. Those who voted against the majority which Dolph helped to make still hold Young in high respect. He is now a live newspaper man; Dolph is a dead Senator, or will be in a few days. If the correspond- ents in Washington could have voted in the Oregon legislature, Dolph’s case would have been settled veral weeks ago. —- + 0 Co-Operating. ago Inter-Ocean. ‘hinese are co-workers with the Japs.
