& THE EVENING STAR, TUESDAY, JANUARY 28, 189¢-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON TUESDAY.............January 28, 1896. CROSBY 8S. NOYES... «+. -Editer. THE EVENING. STAR has a regular amd permanent Family Cireulation much more than the combined cir- eulntion of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. Im order to avoid delays, on nc- count of persona! baence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed te any individual connected with the . but simply to THE STAR, or the Editorial or Busincas Depart- ments, according.te tener oF Purpose. Sewers, Streets Assuming that no appeal reverses Judge Cox’s able decision in respect to the high- way act. and assuming that no amendment pending an appeal can mould this act into a shape which will be acceptable to the people as well as to the courts, then the highway act, Which in its present form has come to be a menace to the Dist receives from Judge Cox what will prove to be its death-blow. The section of the bond bili which relates to street-extension of course shares the fate ef the highway act. and the $2,650,000 proposed for this purpose, if no satisfactory revision of street extension is effected, will ve deducted from the proposed bond issue, and the biil wiil become exclusively instead of mainly aj ewer bill, carrying $4,550,000 instead of $7,500,000, As to its main purposes and the greater part of the appropriation proposed y it the bond bill is untouched by Judge Cox's decision. The bond bill in making a small ani concededly inadequate appro- for street extension sought indi- amend the fatal provision of the act which exempted the United ‘from all interest and obligation ect to the National Capital and the Federal District beyond old Boundary street of George Washington's plan. Ii the highway act is destroyed outright of course this otherwise essential amendment he- comes unnecessary. But any one who per- sistently i tifles the sewer-street extension berd bill with tae highway act which it seeks to radically amend, In order to shower blackguardly, lying abuse upon those who believe in the principles of the bond bill, is either y ignorant or very knavish. And The Star repeats that those \honest men whe oppose not only street extension but sewer bonds and give intelligent rea- s for their opposition should not be cted to the opprobrium which attaches topponent whose position on public ns is determined by the success or ailure of blackmailing operations connected erewith. The citizens who belidve in a comprehensive sewerage plan and in street extension and in a bond bill are not thieves and jobbers; and perhaps only one of those differently or these public ques- cognized blackguard und con- The Rule of Three. nould the Senate decide to admit Mr.4 Dupont to 2 seat as a representative of Del- are in the upper house it will be possible r that body to comply with the constitu- n to divide evenly into three first time in over five years. f the Utah Senators brings on of nt total up to $9, and the recogni- - claims of Mr, Dupont will make whieh will give three classes each. It was to conform to ment of the Constitution that nators were yesterday assigned to short terms, one ending March 3, 1897, and the other March 3, 1899.. The requirement is that the Senate when originally organized should divide “as evenly as may be” into tbree classes so that one-third of the body, or thereabouts, should retire each second year. The 1901 class, including the seat to which Mr. Dupont claims to have been elected, now contains 30 Senators, while with the men from Utah the classes of ‘97 and "9 go up to an equal number. Were ene of them to be given the six year term the 11 class would contain 31 Senators, the ‘9 class 30 Senators, and the ‘97 class ators, thus establishing an inequality would never be compensated except by a curtailment of two or three terms some time in the future In 1889 the admission of Washington as a state gave St members to the Senate, which then divided into three classes of 28 each. This w&s broken the next year by the admission of Wyo- ming Idaho and the equality has not yet been re-established. The last previous eceasion when the Senate was divisible by three w n 76 when Colorado's Senators were given seats, and this was not broken until the admission of the Dakotas in 1889. ——__+ e+ ___ Free Library Legisiation. ommendable promptness the Sen- nposing the sub-committee on the library bill have decided to report that measure favorably to the full District com- mitt t jay. Should the full com- mittee accept the finding of those to whom Was entrusted the detailed examination of the bill the prospects are that the measure within a few days will be placed on the calendar of the Senate, from which it may be cailed at any time by unanimous con- sent for its passage. It ought to bé an easy task to secure this action. The bill commends itself at once to any one who examines it with any degree of intelligent attention, and should meet with no opposi- tion whatever. With ators ——_ + -___ It is somewhat distressing to realize that this protracted and exhaustive discussion by the District politicians must, even when it ts concluded, be regarded as leaving sev- eral important questions unsettled. —____~-es ‘There are numerous applications for Mr. Aifred tin's autographs. Some people ould rather read one of them then one of iis poems. see The Armenian Resolutions. The House of Representatives yeste Save prompt corcurrence in the resolutions passed by the Senate last week expressing tke horror of this nation at the Armenian massacres and outrages, and it now re- mains to be scen what international effect this action will have. The resolutions are expressive of a strong sentiment, and re- qvest the President to ask the natioas of arupe why they have not kept their prom- to i tute reforms in the Sultan's do- mains. Beyond this they require no posi- tive action by this government, althong' may lead to practical results at a stage. A controversy has already ‘ as to whether or got this enactment requires the signature of the President. The Constitution—Art. I., Sect. 7, par.*3— provides that “every order, resclution or vote to which the concurrence of the Sen- ate and Housg,of Representatives may be necessary (except on a question of adjourn- ment) shall be presented to the President, |” and before the same shall take effect shall be approved by him,” ete. Latterly the _—— have frequently passed resolutions in “concurrent” form, with the understand- ing that this avoided the necessity for pre- senting them to the executive, while only bills and joint resolutions have been sent in that channel. The concurrent resolution, therefore, has come to be a convenient form of congressional expression of opin- ion, when it has not been the intention to commit the administration to any definite line of policy of action or sentiment. It has thus tended to preserve the barriers placed by the Constitution between the ex- ecutive and legistative branches of the gov- ernment. At times the legislature seeks to bind the administration to a set course, and it is the right of the President to check- mate such a move by the exercise of the veto power, while the houses may then, if numbers suffice, reassert the measure and pass it over the veto, thus finally dominat- ing the policy of the nation. But there is, no prospect of such a conflict in the pres- ent case. The President is believed to be heartily in sympathy with the movement to bring about a cessation of the horrors of Turkish tyranny in Armenia, and should the resolution be presented to him for his approval it is expected that he wiil promptly give it. In his annual message Mr. Cleveland said: é “By treaty several of the most powerful European powers have secured a right and have assumed a duty not only in behaif of their own citizens and in furtherance of their own interests, but as agents of the Christian world. Their right is to enforce such conduct of Turkish government as will restrain fanatical brutality, and if this fai‘s their duty is to so interfere as to insure against such dreadful occurrences in Tur- key as have lately shocked civ:Hzation. The powers declare this right and this duty ty be theirs alone, and it is earnestly hoped that prompt and effective action on their part will not be delayed.” The resolution just passed, it will be noted, after reciting the historic facts lead- ing up to the present disgraceful state of affairs, requests the President to comma- nicate to the powers signatory to the Ber- lin treaty “the profound regret of the American people and their goverament that the engagements made in that con- vention for the security of the Armenian Christians have not been performed.” Then the enactment goes further, to this “con- cluding effect: “That the government of the United States expresses its sympathy for the Armenian people and Its hope that the government of. the Sultan wilé at orce extend to them ful! and adequate protection for the preservation of life, the security of property, and the free exercise of retigion.” In communicating with Great Britain, Germany, Austria, France, Italy, Russia and Turkey the President will be carrying out not only the request of the national legistature, but also his own sentimeats, expressed in his annual message to Con- gress.
