8 THE. EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TURSDAY.................Mareh S 1895. CROSBY 8. NOYES................Editor. SSS ‘PRE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. : Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absenee, letters to THE STAR si id mot be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply te THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to Seer or purpose. a It would be a great relief if there were any certainty that the question of a site for a new Government Printing Office had been finally settled. That problem has been most worrying for several years, and at every session of Congress it stands so squarely in the way of a new building that the hope of ever getting rid of the misera- ble old shell that now holds so many hun- dred lives has often faltered. But now, at lest, there is reason to think that the end has come. Sensible people and business men will believe that the action of Con- gress in appropriating $121,121.90 for a new fire-proof building to be erected on the site of the present stables has virtually de- clared that the new office, whatever its size and whenever built, shall be established upon the ground now occupied and adjacent Property. It is unreasonable to suppose that the Government would spend such a great sum for a mere temporary structure, de- signed to be pulled down in a year or two, &s soon as the House and Senate get ready to act finally upon the matter and appro- priate a sufficient sum for the new plant that is so seriously required. A more busi- ness-like theory would be that the Congress Mesigns this building to become a part of the great establishment that, in a few seasons, will be entirely rebuilt. Every stroke of work done on the present site will make the removal of the office to an- other place more improbable. Every dol- lar spent there will make a change of loca- tion more expensive. Therefore it should be taken as reasonably certain that Con- gress has at last settled the question, by voting to establish this new structure, de- signed to relieve the pressure that now jeopardizes the main building and its con- tents. It is one of the strongest arguments in favor of the present site that it con- tains many items of great value, such as plumbing, water and gas pipes, wires, and other equipments which would be wholly destroyed by a removal to another block. The Star has no interest in the quarrel be- tween advocates of rival sites. .It has been eager that the everlasting row should be settled as soon as possible, so that the oc- cupants of the printing office might be re- Heved from their great danger. Therefore it welcomes with gratification the conclu- sion that Congress has practically decided the question of a site by making this ap- propriation. —_—__ + = _____ ‘The clemency which ts being exercised by the Hawalian government toward the revo- lutionists who so recently endeavored to re-establish the corrupt monarchy is not at all surprising to those who know the men who compose the Hawatian administrative force, however astonishing it may be to the thoughtless and rabid opponents of applied republican principles in the Sandwich Islands. Blatant demagogues and salaried advocates of renewed dishonesty at Hono- lulu have done their utmost to spread abroad impressions derogatory to what is known in Hawaii as the missionary ele- ment, and have, to some extent, in be- righted communities, made converts of a few whose minds are childishly receptive and unreasoning, but it is difficult to un- derstand how these haters of probity and good government will continue to criticize President Dole and his associates. With the lives of the most active rebels in his hands, President Dole has been humane in the extreme, and has done just what his friends in the United States supposed he would do. It may fairly be questioned whether revolutionists would have been so well treated under the circumstances by any other power as the rebels of Hawali have been by the “missionary children” who now control the affairs of the-Islands from Herclulu. . —_— +++ _____ The news from the Colombian rebellion becomes interesting. It looks at this time as though the insurrection is serious and threatens to be successful. The lat- est intelligence is that the rebels, after having been driven from the city of Cucuta by the government troops, have rallied their forces and have retaken the city. More than eight hundred were slain on the two sides. The streets of the city were piled high with the dead, and, to add to the horror, a powder magazine was blown up and many houses were shattered. The rebels lost a general, but the government forces were demoralized. So the fight goes on, The reports from the internecine strifes that seem to be inevitable in the countries to the south of the United States show that there is no fixity in the national conditions there and that long administra- tions are impracticable. Politics in those latitudes seems to take the shape of powder and lead in making its announcements of the popular will. Here ballots are used as @ better form of expression. That is the main difference. ——_——__-+-0-« ______-- There were one hundred and nineteen men employed upon the new city post-office building today. Three years and thirteen days have gone by since the structure com- menced to be, but even yet there is no promise of a finished building prior to August 17, 1906. oe -—_____. President Cleveland is now coming in for his annual dose of criticism for not going to the Capitol yesterday in order to sign bills with greater facility and speed. He is being scolded roundly for refusing to affix his signatures without hesitation to the great grist of both public and private measures poured upon him at the last mo- ment. He will probably be even called au- tocratic for declining to assist Congress in its slip-shod method of doing about ninety per cent of its business at the fag-end of the session. It cannot be thought, however, that the people will seriously condemn the President for his action when the circum- stances of his position are understood. In the first place, there is and always will be a certain part of the responsibility for leg- islation resting with him. Congress may be blamed, of course, for its part in passing bills that contain vicious principles, as be- ing the source of the evil, but the Presi- dent canot escape his share if, by signing such a bill, he permits it to pass upon the statute books. He gets the blame of a veto from those whom the veto hurts; why, then, should he not be held partly respon- sible for the approved law that infringes some right of the citizen? President Cleve- land has always maintained this position, and has ever insisted that the function resting with him is coequal with that of Congress in the burden of responsibility. It. is not reasonable to expect that the President can, by a mere reading of a measure, determine its effect for good or evil. In ordinary cases he refers the bill to the department to which it relates, and almost without exception accepts the judg- ment thus obtained. In the great rush that comes at the end of a session, with bills reaching him by scores, most of them, as he must know, passed in the last few hours with little or no care, it is physically impossible for him to read the bills and to understand their meaning. The reports from the departments cannot, of course, THE EVENING STAR,- which these belated bills have been passed, to go behind the returns, as it were. It is in- sisted that he should accept the action of Congress as that of a careful, deliberative body, and the mere passage of a bill as an evidence of its worth. Unfortunately, this is a theory that does not agree at all with the conditions as the President must know them. He cannot fail to understand thor- oughly the loose methods of both houses in the last two days. The President knows, as all readers of the newspapers and the Congressional Record know, that the gates are let down for the passage of all sorts of bills, and that many of them passed out of mere courtesy to retiring members. Loose, victous and even dangerous legislation can- not fail to get through in this way. There- fore, even greater care than usual should be exercised by the President in scrutiniz- ing the measures placed before him for his signature at the eleventh hour. A sensible Plan would seem to be to grant to the President the right to sign or veto bills within ten days after the expiration of a session. Under the law of the State of New York, the governor has thirty days in which to exercise his right of approval. This enables him to give to each measure the customary attention, and the President of the United States should surely have at least one-third as much time to devote to matters fullythrice as important. A mem- ber of the Court of Claims has already ex- pressed the opinion that the President has this right, under the Constitution, but the question is much mooted, and has never reached the Supreme Court of the United States, where it should go for final adjudi- cation. The President has so little assur- ance of right, as the case now stands, to sign bills after the expiration of a session, that he would hardly be justified in taking the grave risk of doing so except for the purpose, perhaps, of securing a decision by making a test case. + oe -____ ‘That was a sensible decision rendered by the Supreme Court yesterday which an- nounced the rule that it is morally and legally justifiable for the rogue-catching department of the community to resort to the devics: of decoy letters in order to cap- ture and convict violators of the statutes. William Grimm was convicted in Missouri for using the mails to sell obscene pictures, He appealed to the Supreme Court, alleg- ing that the letters upon which he was convicted had been written by a govern- ment detective and that the replies. were sent to fictitious addresses. The claim was that Grimm had done no harm to any real person. The court very properly held that this was no adequate defense, and Jus- tice Brewer, in delivering the opinion, prob- ably voiced a strong sentiment when he said that the method of his capture did not detract from Grimm's guilt from either @ moral or @ legal point of view. In such @ case it would surely seem as though the end justified the means, ———_~++___ The Count and Countess Castellane are in no danger “of ennui.
