There would unquestionably be a good deal more real business transacted by the House of Representatives if the desks in the hall of the House were cleared out and that vast chamber reduced in size. It 1s to be doubted whether the framers of the Con- stitution contemplated that the lower branch of the national legislature would ever grow into the enormous proportions which it has now attained, and probably the House of half a century ago could rea- sonably be supplicd with desks and such furnfture. The halls of Congress have been populated from year to year, from session to session, with representatives of steadily increasing numbers, keeping pace with their constituencies. The mechanical sur- roundings of these legislators for the peo- ple have, however, remained the same, ex- cept that they have grown in mere size and numbers with the almost unprecedented If- crease of the population. Thus the present House, is cumbersome, unwieldy and prodi- gally wasteful of time and effort. The de- bates in the hall are usually marked by scenes of great confusion that impede prog- ress and that far too often culminate in dis- graceful encounters. ‘The deliberative character of the lower branch of Congress is being obltterated in its vastness and its Intractability. ‘The removal of the desks and the reduc- tion of the hall itself, as proposed now, would at once destroy the chamber as a lounging place, or a reading, writing or smoking room, into, which it has unfor- tunately been transformed in the course of years by such members as are not directly interested in the subject under current di Their conversation adds to the noise and the confusion and the smoke of their cigars clouds and poisons the atmos- They too often regard the council of the nation as a mere convenience for r comfort, regardless of the pressure of business and indifferent to the peace who are endeavoring to perfom their legitimate duties as legislators. It is true that the congressman has other duties pertaining to his office thag those that require his presence in the hall of the House, but with the generous provision of and the increasing facilities for in- 1 accommodations that are provided e is little excuse for the present trans- fermation of the House into a vast office. The English house of commons has no desks, and with only benches for the ac- commodation of its members that body is capable of speed fn the transaction of busi- ness such as Is only possible here under the operation of iron-clad rules of pro- cedure from the speaker's own committee in charge of the order of business. The good results that would flow from the pro- p 1 change would undouhiedly be an am- ple reward for those who now suggest it. By all means let the parties bury the bet long enough to attend to this minor but important detail of legislative hous. -— «+ __ A Dangerous Corner. A correspondent whose communi printed yesterday calls atten- son and with force to the ate of things that is caused by ntration of the rapid-transit car- lines at the intersection of y York a nue ard Fifteenth and G streets. ‘This -is ubtedly the wor illustration of the fer and junction nuisance in the city and some effective re ly should be applied at once. teenth street Is too narrow to be so choked at th crowded point, and it is a marvel that there have not been scores of serious accidents at this bewildering co! rer. The plan of having the Mount Pleas ant cars leave th avenue at Fourteenth str and travel thence directly north to the end of that branch has been suge and ut one time it seemed likely to be adopted. It is a good plan, and with some medification of the scheme for the Metro- politan tracks it would greatly relieve the situation. The case is bad enough and pre- sents a sufficient complication to warrant a study of the whole ground by the congres- sio:ul District committees ahd the prepara- of a measure of rellef. Meanwhile the railroad company should assume some of the burden of responsibility to avotd accl- cents now resting on the people who are compelled to be on the alert at all seasons in defense of the rights that they are sup- posed to enjoy without restriction. The transfer arrangement is cumbersome and dangerous, and there ig no valld reason for its continuance. The system in vogue on the Ninth street iine works satisfactorily and well and places a far heavier charge on the conductors than would be given to those ion to on the e and Fourteenth street lnes. At all events, the various systems of giving trarsfers should be made uniform to avoid confusion, Just as there should be immedi- ately adopted and enforced a standard rule for the stopping of rapld-transit cars at street sings. +e. _____ President Cleveland's turkey will weigh Ubirty-four pounds. It would be entertain- ing and instructive to know whether he will have anything about a third term in his mind when he breaks the wish-bone. —_ - ree —___ Japan contemplates coming to this coun- try for warships. Thus, step by step are removed any doubts that might have ex- isted as to the practical, permanent quality of her civilization. soe There are few things more fin de siecle than the prize-package method of locating @ national convention. +o 2 —___ Twenty-flve men worked half a day today on the city post office building. —s0e Self-Answered Argaments, The | rict Commissioners should vig- orcusly oppose the legal proceedings now verding which were instituted yesterday by the two steam r.ilread corporations whose ks enter the seeking to restrain » enforcement of the order of October 26 velling the steam trains to stop before sing Lapid-transit street-car lines. The ation that will come trom such a strug- > as is kely to ensue in court will be one of the most effective means of keeping the grade-crossing problem alive and weil before the ¢ of the people and the na- tienal legislators. The Commissioners should defend their order for its own sake, for it was framed tn the interest of the citizens and for the protection of the lives of the patrons of the three largest street railroad Ires In the city. The arguments of the railroad corporations ad ed in their application for an injunction are not so strong that they cannot be met, and When considered apart from the present case they demonstrate beyond question the absolute necessity for a speedy termination of the grade-crossing system, It Is futile to urge that the steam trains should not be ecmpelled to stop because they were in ex- fetence before the street-car lines were established. The main object of laws gov- erring communities is or should be the safety and best interests of the people, and it matters not which corporation had prior possession of the streets if the present sit- uation is such that public security demands that one or both of them should be subject te some inconvenience. The complainants in the present case contend that the Com- missioners’ order would entail a loss of thine, a delay of the mails and expense in the starting of heavy trains after they had been brought to a full stop. These things are the direct result of continued occupa- tion of the streets at grade and the di- lemma that they apparently present would not exist if the tracks were elevated or de- Eressed, as they should be without further delay. It would be curious indeed if the interstate commerce law could he effec- tively Inveked to prevent municipal au- thorities from regulating in protection of the public safety the local terminals of roads that chance to pass through more than one jurisdiction. —_ __~++«+—___ The Naval Engineers. The break-down of Chief Engineer Leach of the navy from overwork illustrates In a most forcible manner the need of a reor- ganization of the engineer corps to meet the requirements of the modern navy. Chief Melvilie has been asking for this relief for several seasons until it has become a standing plea. Yet Congress persists in re- garding this necessary bureau in the same Mght as when the navy was composed in the main of sailing vessels, long before their almost complete displacement by the modern fighting machines. The naval en- gineer is today far more important than the sailor-man, for upon him depends the safety of the ship and its effectiveness in battle. Whereas the number of steam war- skips has increased in a wonderful ratio, the engineer corps has been decreased, thus: throwing a most burdensome task upon those who remain on the active list, and causing such calamities as that which has just removed an efficient officer from the ranks. If the American navy is to take its rightful place among the maritime forces of the world this vitally important feature of its organization must be treated with a wise Itberality by Congress. —____ + «= —___ Lord Salixbury’s Reply, Lord Sal jury dy reply to Secretary Olney abous the Venezuelan question will, in the crdinary course of events, get here /a short time afier Congress has convened. Coming at euch a juncture, it is altogether probable that Congress will be eager to know its contents, after having been told by the President in his message of the progress of the negotiations leading up to the present situation. The houses will then be in a position to deal with the mattér as if a participant in ‘the discussion from the begin- ning ani to treat it as a current event, which may be handled by Congress. Indeed, it would not be strange if the administra- tiox should find itself relieved of the great burden of the case by some radical expres- sion of opinioa by one or the other or per- haps both of the houses, should it develop that Lord Salisbury has adopted a repellant attitude toward the American position. oe The glory of the Atlanta Exposition con- tinues undimmed by the suppression of some of the Midway Plaisance features.
