6 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY..................March 4, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation mugh more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. After being almost continually in session during its lifetime, the Fifty-third Con- gress today ceased to be, and is now a subject upon which any person so inclined may hold an inquest. That many of the investigators will find reason for declaring the remains to be in a healthy condition is not likely, for from representatives of all the parties and of all the factions that would like to be parties comes condemna- tion of the most violent sort. In this land of free speech and strong party spirit par- tisan outbursts are common, so there would be nothing strange in abuse of the Fifty-third Congress by republicans. The President, the Senate and the House were all democratic and were therefore targets for political opponents. But it is not from republican sources that the bitterest criti- cism comes; the most violent vituperation has jts origin in places where nothing but democratic doctrine is supposed to dwell. Having failed therefore to satisfy those who are convinced that their confidence was .misplaced, the Fifty-third Congress may fairly be denominated a failu: Vhen it came into power it was confronted by a delicate situation that to be successfully dealt with demanded the exercise of great governmental! skill, and this, unfortunately, it did not seem to possess. Of opinion it had great diversity, of theory a plethora, and of partisan rancor a most disagreeable opulence. It sought first to legislate as to the tariff, many of the leaders being con- scientiously fixed in their belief that with a reduction of import duties would come great increase of industry and phenomenal inpouring of wealth. The situation, how- ever, failed to improve; in fact it became worse with such startling rapidity as to ccnvince many even of the theorists that it was the national financial policy that needed attention much more than the mere tariff question. In this revised opinion there was’general concurrence, but neither argument nor abuse could move Congress to take any kind of decisive action, so that today the credit of the country can be maintained only through the wasteful bond- issue policy that the President has been compelled to adopt. Unless the President should call the Fifty-fourth Congress into extra session there will have to be addi- tional bond issues, and each of these will be a monumental reminder of the incapac- ity of the Fifty-third Congress—a congress whose claim to notoriety rests principally upon its having legislated into existence the populistic Income tax. —__+ + + ___. Locally, the Fifty-third Congress gid bet- ter than it did nationally, and, although -its sins of omission are many, it would be the recipient of applause had tf dealt as well by the country as it has by the Dis- trict of Columbia. Urged to favorable action by District officials, by the Board of Trade and by other representatives of the great interests involved, both the House and Senate have devoted to District affairs considerable time and attention; not so much as should have been given, but nevertheless so much that to refuse to tecognize the fact would be ungrateful. Several measures of real merit were con- spicuously neglected,. but in view of the liberal treatment accorded the important measures that did go through, it is but Proper to give credit for the good and to say as little as possible of the disappoint- ments and of the evil. A large pruporticn of local legislation has come through the appropriation bills, and it is in the later of those measures that evidence of desire to deal fairly is conspicuously present. Pro- vision has been made for incr2asing the height of the dam at Great Falls, thus rendering unlikely anything lik2 the gen- eral water famine which in the absence of such provision seemed certain. The public school system—in great need of puildings— will not be stunted in its growth, for the Senate compelled the House to deal justly by the children of the District nd insisted on sufficient appropriations. ‘To be sure, there was inaction in the matter of street- extension and a proper system of sewers, but the Fifty-fourth Congress will be likely to remedy that notable shortcoming, which was by no means unexpected. Taken alto- gether, the Fifty-third Congress might locally have done much worse. - ——_+ee____ Few residents of Washington are entirely without interest in the illumination of streets and homes, and quite a large pro- portion of the population must be con- cerned as to telephone rates. Special com- mittees of the Board of Trade are now en- gaged in investigating local conditions and prices and have requested all citizens pos- sessed of ideas and facts pertinent to the lines of inquiry mentioned to put them on record in writing and forward them to the secretary of the board. The investigations promise to be thorough, and in order that none of the elements of fairness may be lacking all persons who have any informa- tion as to the subjects referred to should hasten to place it in the hands of the ap- prepriate committee. —___+ ¢+___ There were one hundred and forty-three ten employed on the city post-office build- ing today, but the structure still progresses very slowly. Three years and twelve days have departed forever since the building was begun, yet there is only little likeli- hheod of completion prior to August 17, 1906. —_e+___ Much gratification is expressed over the appointment of Mr. Richard Hatton to be assistant paymaster In the navy. He is the son of the late Frank Hatton and seems to have inherited much of the ca- pacity for winning friends possessed by his brilliant and much-liked father. ——__~- + +__ The obituaries of the 52nd Congress were bad enough. It is something grewsome to think of what the sensational head-line writers will do with the 53rd. ——__+ -_____ Oscar Wilde continues to prove that he can give the American advertiser points in the art of publicity. —__ + 0 ___ No more important task has recently de- velved upon the District authorities than the preparation of a plan for the proposed extension of streets. More than a hun- dred years ago the plan of the city as it exists today was devised by L’Enfant, the engineer, and approved by George Wash- ington, by Thomas Jefferson and by Con- gress. The verdict of those who dwell here today is that the extremely difficult task was performed with remarkable skill, suf- ficient provision having been made for the future growth and greatness of the na- tion’s capital. The map printed in The Star Saturday makes it evident that the broad liberality of the capital founders has had powerful influence upon the formu- lation of plans for the greater Washington. In a general way Congress indicated the Ines which the work of extension should follow, but thé law providing for the Preparation of the street extension map conferred large discretionary powers upon the District Commissioners, and hed those THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, MAROH 4, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. officials been careless of their responsibili- tles and unmindful of the city’s future they might have indulged in what would surely have been expensive and un- Satisfactory experiments; while final ap- Proval has not yet been bestowed, it is evident that the authorities are in sympa- thy with the design. Of course, there will be differences of opinion as to some of the details, and objections, perhaps reasonable in some cases, from individuals whose in- terests are unfavorably affected, but view- ing the work as a whole it is worthy of all commendation; for it is the evident in- tent of the authors of the plan to make the Washington of twenty or thirty years hence much more beautiful and attractive than even the Washington of today. —_—__+ ¢+____ Some people have strange ideas as to the uses to which the United States gov- ernment may be put. A passing stranger from the northern Pacific coast has been quoted as saying that residents of United States territory in the vicinity of Puget Sound have been much disturbed of late by earthquake shocks. He furthermore said that the folks out in that region were seriously considering a proposition to re- quest Congress to make an appropriation which shall be spent for scientific investi- gation into the causes of earthquakes and the possible effects of those earth move- ments. Just what remedies would be ap- plied is unknown, but to the casual and unscientific observer of passing events—in which category earthquakes may properly be included—it appears as though no real relief can come to the inhabitants of the countries where earthquakes are common until flying machines become effective and cheap. Shaken and shivering people out in Oregon and Washington had better organ- ize in behalf of governmental encourage- ment of aereonautical invention. + += Cuba’s most recent rebellion appears to be a more serious affair than it at first promised to be, for were it of no more im- Portance than Spanish officials on duty in Cuba said it was, it is not likely that the Spanish government would send to the island several thousand soldiers to re- inforce the large garrisons already sta- tioned there. Probably the present out- break ‘will not result in changing Cuba's form of government, but it is certain that so long as the struggle between the Cubans and the Spaniards continues the sympathy of the people of the United States will be with the Cubans—in their aspirations and efforts for independence. ———- += ____ The fact that Mary Lease has written a book is not attracting much attention in the literary world. There couldn’t very well be such a thing :s a poiitical poem of passion. ——_++-____ China is the most conservative nation on record.

Surely, the Congressmen gone Should have some such courtesy shown "em; Of a rather long list, quite the decentest one Is “de mortuis nil nisi bonum.” A Possible Benefit. “Josiar,” said Mrs. Corntossel, “do you reckon thet it really he’ps a man in life ter have the conceit took out of him?” “Course it does.” “Well, mebby then the Fifty-third Con- gress hez somethin’ ter be thankful fur after all.” Indications cn the Petomac. "Tis spring, 'tis spring! ye poets sing! Mistakes you need not fear. Once more the duck is on the wing And the Violet is here. A Surmise. “Bill Doolan’s band has been captured in Oklahoma,” remarked the newspaper reader. “You don’t say so,” replied the man who pretends to keep posted, but doesn’t. “What was .Bill’s band doing? Playing ‘Sweet Marie?” A Distinguished ‘Representative. “So,” said she, “the Fifty-third Congress is dead.” “Yes,” replied Senator Sorghum, “but the sugar trust still lives.” “Ahter all,” said Uncle Eben, “er man’s success in gittin’ inter office doan seem ter be ob ez much impohtance as de way he gits out ob it.” A Damaged Garment. Sweet Charity lingered where Congress had been, And her mantle she struggled to spread o’er the scene; But the wrap was deficient in width and in length; The task was too great for her wit or her strength. For this mantle of Charity had, be it known, Been used till all threadbare and weak it had grown, And the rents here and there only served to reveal More plainly the faults it was sought to conceal, And Charity wept as she saw brought to view A sad sugar job and a scandal or two, With many remarks much too warm to repeat, And a wreckage of promises sadly com- plete. And she murmured, “’Twill take lots of patching and care Ere this mantle is ever again fit to wear.” —__< +> ___ ‘The Business-Like Japanese. From the Chicago Mail. It is said the Japanese armies are wel- comed on Chinese soil because they pay for all supplies, which the Chinese soldiers do not. And yet some critics say the Japanese are not civilized. —__—_ e. = _____ The Advanced Women.
