Short Walks for Congressmen. This is really going to be a long walk, for trip the Congressmen who are ing for local needs ‘are supposed to be looking for Washington's public ifbrary. It Js, in truth, an endless walk, for there ts no such fnstitution, to the shame of the nation’s city be it said. The new legie- lator may, however, exc : “But what is that?" pointing to the great’ stone structure rearing Its beautiful, graceful lines just east of the Cay That is the greatest library In America, or rather the new home soon to be occupied by the rich- €st collection of books on this continent. And yet, with all its wealth of literature, all its untold value In stored knowledge, it might as well be in Sitka or Honolulu as to Washington for all the good it does to the working*citizens of the District. Washing- ton has suffered for years from this unfilled want, mainly because of the mistaken no- tion that the Congressional Library was sufficient. That great establishment {s closed early in the day, and it is a refer- ence, not a circulating library. There Was a time when books could be taken from the library upon leaving a deposit—too large to make the system serviceable to the working people—but even that privilege has been withdrawn. There are in the capital city over forty thousand school children, and more than twenty thousand laboring men and women, occupied during the day and able to use a library only at night. Fully half of the school children would be patrons of a ffee circulating library if such were established. There are in the city about twenty thousand government em- ployes, who would profit by such an addi- tion to the city’s equipment, and other citi- zens in large numbers to whom an institu- tion of that kind would be a great con- venience. Practically the whole of the city’s quarter million of people would wel- come the establishment of a free library open day and evening, well housed in a convenient locality, enriched _ largely through private subscriptions with an ample supply of attractive books, and sus- tained by the municipality as a supplement of the public schools. The permanent quarters of such a library would naturaily be In the proposed new municipal buildin; its temporary home in the best plage avail able in the opinion of our legislators A measure proposing such a library, backed by private subscriptions for books, and in- dorsed by the Board of Trade, the Federa- tion of Labor, the Commissioners, school trustees and citizens generally, will in a few days be submitted to Congress. The intel- ligent pedestrianizing Congressman will then have the opportunity to shorten mate- rially his long walk in search of Washing- ton's public library. ———__ «= Congressional Malaria. A correspondent who noted the editorial recently printed in The Star calling the at- tention of Cengress to the foul open sewer known as James Creek canal writes to point out the fact that the miasmatic air from this cesspool of filth ts liable at any hour of the day to be blown by the winds from the southeast into the very halls of Congress through the sir-ducts placed on the western side of the building: It is interesting to learn that this matter has already received official attention and that the architect of the Capitol has sought to remedy the evil by proposing to plant a barrier of trees krown to absorb the germs of malaria some- where between the aimducts and the canal. How much better a plan it would be to provide a perfectly sure barrier between the congressional health and malarial Infection from this source by covering this canal, or by diverting into underground pipes the sewers now opening into it! It Is just as well to cmphasize the possibility of a spread of the malarial influences into the session and committee rooms of the national legis- lature, for probably when the members real- ize that their health is endangered—along with that of thousands of residents of the southern section of the city—by this filthy expedient for the disposal of the sewage they may hasten to authorize a municipal expenditure to accomplish the work that should have been done a score of years ago. ———__ + = The Paris Journal des Debats, discussing the Venezuelan incident, intimates that the United States has not “the military and nmayal forces which, after all, are at the bottom of every diplomatic discussion which 4s carried rather far," and the London Times quotes and comments approvingly upon the intimation. As a suggestion of the wisdom of strengthening its military and naval forces, the French-English hint is seasonable and is gratefully received by the republic. As a veiled threat, intended to intimidate the republic from adhering to its traditional policy in reepect to Old World acquisitions of American territory, it is a dismal failure, The Paris paper should rey member that the United States is more populous and powerful, its forces are more united, patriotic and effective, than when at the hint of our Secretary of State in a diplomatic discussion which the Emperor of France did not permit to be “carried rather far” the French troops scampered out of Mexico. The Americas,are for Americans! And the necessary military and naval forces will doubtless be forthcoming to make the declaration good — 0s Representative Barrett of Massachusetts is a little bit early with his resolution for the impeachment of Ambassador Bayard. The fact however that h» once represented @ newspaper in this city may account for a certain enthusiasm in scoring a “sepop.” --- ee -—_ The President finds a relief in closing his ears to the financial quackery that has been sounding and in listenirg to the simple, unaffected warble of the duck. 20s The fact that there 1s a rivairy for the honor of being the first new woman shows how very young the movement must be. —__ + e+ In spite of protest or precaution the ex termination of the seu!s and the gold re- serve goes right along. ——_ e+ ___ lexandria Gounty's Future. The Washington correspondent of the Bal- timore American states a recognized truth when he declares that the lawlessness that prevails in Alexandria county is the chief Teason why the local suburban impulse has not caused a movement in that direction. There is no lack of good lands and facili- ties for reaching the region would speedily improve If other conditions were favorable. But there is one serious drawback to the Popularity of this region: two alleged race tracks are in full operation In close prox- imity, drawing a most undesirable crowd of rough loungers and hangers-on, while the first spot on the Virginia shore en- countered by the home-seeker is a com- munity of thugs and gamblers whom the county officers either could not or would mot reach. The statutes of the state are lax and the lawless elements take advant- age of this condition of things to hold high carnival, even when threatened by the governor's declaration of war. They are now announcing their intention to make an open resistence against the effort to place laws in the interests of order and morality upon the statute books, and their lobby has already been organized at Rich- mond. It will be an everlasting reproach to Virginia if this opportunity for effecting a needed reform is allowed by its legisla- ture to slip by. No matter what the real cause of such inaction may be the fact that the race track gamblers have begun to form the lines of determined resistence to the governor's recommendations will forever cast ‘suspicion upon théintegrity of the legislators’ motives if this session should pass without action. The substan- tial interests of the county should be or- ganized without delay in opposition to the gamblers’ lobby, for the future welfare of that part of the state is now at issue. — see © One to Blame.” A short time ago an electrie street-car filled with passengers plunged through the open draw of a high bridge in the city of Cleveland and seventeen persons lost their lives. The coroner yesterday announced that after investigation he did not feel warranted in holding anyone criminally Mable for the accident. The facts in the case are still fresh in the public mind. There is every evidence of gross carcless- ness. An automatic cut-out that was sup- posed to operate to destroy the current some distance from the draw whenever it was open to permit the passage of a vessel had been out of order for some weeks, and this fact was known to the officials of the railroad company. Had this device been in working order the accident could not pos- sibly have occurred, as the car could not have approached the draw beyond the danger point supposed to be fixed by the automatic appliance. All the details of the frightful calamity point to a general negli- gence in respect to this dangerous place in the transportation route, and the coroner must be elther wilfully or stupidly blind if with such an opportunity for teaching a wholesome lesson to those who are in charge of human life he now falls to see sufficient evidence whereon to base a prose- cution. Criminal negligence in the worst possible degree apparently existed: There is a cause for every accident, usually a human cause, and it is astonishing that such an impotent conclusion should be reached by the Cleveland coroner. ——__ + e+ —_ —_ A peculiar, not to say contemptible cam- paign, is that which is now being waged against President Faure of the French re- public. His resignation is demanded be- cause the father of the lady who is now his wife was in 1841 found guilty of malver- sation as a notary. This notary was never imprisoned and died long ago. When M. Faure married the notary’s daughter he knew her father’s history ard took her portionless. Is the notary’s sin of over halt a century ago to be now visited upon his daughter and his son-in-law? Would thi attempt be made anywhere else than In the hasty and excited impulse of French poli- tics? The position of Mr. Quay in Penasyl- vania has a comfortable appearance, but it Is no sinecure to be a boss under any cir- cumstances at the present time. —___ + + + ____ In spite of the numerous columns which his message occupied, there are people who criticize the President unfavorably for what he did got say. —_—_< e=____ It is now suggested that Senator Hill, having had more “Liberty” than was really ccnyentent, ts cont2mplating matrimony. —_—_—_—_+-—__ The things done by Congress so far very closely resemble the ordinary score of the Washington base-ball club. ——__+ e+ It was too cold today to set stone on the elty post-olfice building and so there were cnly seventy-two men employed. —_——__+ e }_____ SHOOTL STARS. No Longer a Craze. - Do you think these extraordinary post- ers will continue to be*a craze much longer?” asked the man who observes. “No,” replied. the man who objects to everything. “They're pretty near @ down- right lunacy now.’ “De man dat ain't got nuffin’ ter do,” said Uncle ben, ““ceppin’ ter kill time gin'rally needs mo’ help dan de boss ob a fac’t’ry.” Christmas Secrets. Curious bundles now we see In their fullest glory; All December seems to be Just a mystery story. The Real Condition. “I am sorry,” suid Senator Sorghum, “to see the American public so uncertain in Choosing men for great responsibilities, I don’t know just what to expect from the voters.” “Well, Senator,” replied the constituent, “I hate to suggest that you are in error, but it seems to me that you mis-state the proposition. The voters have come to know just what to expect from you.” Not to Be Misled, “Algernon is very interesting,” said Mr. Cumrox’s daughter. “What does he talk about?” inquired her father. “Why, he’s ever so well posted on Shakes- said Mr. Cumrox, “don’t you let him deceive you. Don’t you let him make sport of your ignorance. They ain’t no such stock on the market.” A Solnce. It’s pleasant to be a front man in the choir; Te sort o’ stand out ez a leader, To have all thet tuneful persuasion an’ fire That'll win back the doubting seceder. But in this here existence we can't, poor or rich, Decide on the path that's before us, And some kin stand up an’ sing solos an’ sich, While gthers must jine in the chorus. It’s the low trailin’ vine thet in safety en- dures The storm when the haughty are broken; It isn’ the hero thet oft’nest secures A true-hearted friendship's dear token. When envious sncers are launched ruthless and free When the venemous darts whistle o’er us, Why, between you an’ me, it’s a comfort ter be Jes’ a feller thet jines in the chorus. ——_ ee2- Our Virginia Suburbs, From the Washington Cor. Baltimore American. The development of thriving suburbs in this directicn (toward Alexandria) has been held back for years pest, because of the poor policing of this sectien of the country. All this region lies within Alexandria coun- ty, probably the smallest- county in the United States, and notoriously poor, and incapable cf supporting a force of men to whom could be intrusted the preservation of law and order. Had it not been that Alexandria county has been for years the hotbed of vice and the home of gamblers, the entire county would have been bene- fited from the building craze that has set in in Washington, and has resulted in en- riching hundreds of real estate men. Peo- ple hated to go into Virginia, cwing to the lawless character of the classes resorting there. Owing to the stand taken by the governor of the state, and the earnest at- tempt being made to drive out the toughs that infest "he county, building interests in that corner of Virginia, formerly part of the District of Columbia, are reviving, and before long the greater part of the building done by the middle classes forced out of the heart of the city by the high rents will be In that section of Alexandria county ly- iag just south of the city and within fairly close proximity to It.
