'The House Committee en Public Build- hes and Grounds has done well to decide b take up the question of building a new pvernment printing office for active prose- fon at this session. The case is some- hat less complicated now than in late ars, owing to the provable withdrawal of pe of the principal sites from the real es- ite competition that has stood between he employes and security session after pssion. Chairman Bankhead says that he satisfied of the folly of “trying to patch p the old shefl now in use.” It would in- ed be “money thrown away,” and in the d. as Mr. Bankhead declares, “we still ‘ould not have a good building.” The gov- nment printing office is one of the largest ablishments of its kind in the world. It hould be housed in a solid, commodious ructure, architecturally attractive, equip- with every modern device for the com- rt and safety of its cccupants, and for prompt and effective as well as econom- al performance of their duties. To this d the building should be located within reasonable distance from the Capitol, for session time Congress is its principal atron. It should have ample ground area p enable the architect to avoid sky-scrap- Z and to give solid foundation for the leavy machinery that has shaken the H t shell into an hourly candidate for a pmplete collapse. “These conditions being bserved, the appropriation for the building lhould be large enough to produce a hand- me structere, not a mere barn-like fac- ry, a brick and mortar -atrocity that yeuld detract from the architectural at- factiveness of the city instead of adding p it. With a very small addition to the re cost of erecting soiid walls, the print- house may be made a creditable struc- re, and it will be a sad commentary on e parsimony of Congress if this desirable esult should not be attained. The primary jemand of the situation fs, of course, for e immediate erection of a building that safe; secondarily, it is strongly urged hat the structure be not discreditable in pearance. —__+2 «>» ___ Oleomargarine Regulations. If thorough enforcement is given to the ewly-promulgated regulations of the reasury Department regarding oleomarga- ne and kindred products,” which take ef- ect today, there is little danger that these itations of butter will be palmed off on in unsuspecting public as the genuine ar- licle. The object of these regulations is to revent evasions of the law requiring mak- S$ :nd wholesale and retail dealers in this ommodity to mark their product with the ‘ora “oleomargarine” so distinctly that the urchaser cannot be decelved. There has een a persistent tendency on the part of jhose handling imitations of butter to de- fraud the purchasers and consumers and ften the rates commanded by genuine but- e> of the first class are obtained for the itation, which normally sells for from me-half to two-thirds of the price of the enuine article. Of course this is a direct nd distinct fraud and, as the law contem- plates, should be punished by severe pen- pities. But there are other frauds prac- iced inethis same connection that are just 3 reprehensible and the new regulations end to prevent these. It appears that rade marks, advertising devices, pictures, ite.. are commonly so placed on packages jontaining oleomargarine as to conceal or jonfuse the distinctive word that the law quires. Under the new regulations this ill be imposstble,and the word “‘oleomar- rine” must be stamped, printed or other- ise indicated on all packages containing hat product in any form. It isstated that jotwithstanding the prosecutions recently Pstituted within the District against Fholesale and retail dealers in oleomarga- ine who have violated the law, there is ill an effort In certain quarters to main- in the illegal practice of selling the imt- tion butter as real and some of the holesale dealers have been guilty of the ery reprehensible proceeding of persuad- ps retail merchants that they can safely Pil oleomargarine for butter and of prom- ing them protection in case they are ught. These dealers are guilty of a dou- le offense and should be given the full enalty of the law. Christian Endeavorers. It was a just and gracious act for the House to give its approval to the project ff permitting the Christian Endeavorers to se the White Lot and the Monument rounds for the purpose of the great con- ention that Is to be held here in July. It expected that there will be at least sixty ousand delegates to this national meet- ps. and the sessions will require larger juditoriums than the city now affords. lence the proposition to erect three giant mts, and as they should be close together ¢ only available ground is that the use of hich the House has just granted. This rivilege was extended to the Grand Army if the Republic and the Knights of Pythias, ind there was no good reason why it ould be withheld from the Endeavorers, pho represent a section of the great Ameri- pn public whose influence is both strong ind wholesome. The Senate should now ive its concurrence in the resolution, and p settle the question speedily, in order at the local managers of the convention pay proceed with their plans with conti- ence. —— +++ ___ If it is any comfort to the Cuban insur- ents they may rest assured that if they in this country will do a great deal of heering. ———_+-++___ ‘The Senate fs sadly in need of a rule or ‘0 to suppress loud and boisterous talk- hg. —_+ + > ___ ‘Lord Dunraven might come over right ‘ay and tr} a race with the St. Paul. —__—_- +> ____ The Prospective Glut of Gold. ‘The world’s gold production of 1: taches the astonishing figures of $203, po,00v. Commenting upon this fact Har- 's Weekly says: “The total of more than two hundred liions represents a production half again _Steat as that of four years ago, aud ice as great as the average yield throug! mt the years from 1870 to 1890. Indeed, it within the brief interval since Mr. leveland’s first election that the gold sup- Py has doubled, as that supply has been jaown to this generation. It is now larger fy @ half than in the years when the virgin lds of California and Australia poured prth their golden flood; twenty times eater than in any year from the opening the century down to 1840; equal to the Atire product of two dscades before or ter the adoption of the gold-basis cur- icy scheme of 1816. The mere increase 1896 over the year preceding—an in- e of more than twenty-four millions— nearly twice the whole world’s output any year down to the Mexican war. et ten years ago it seemed that yellow- mining was doomed to undergo a beady decline. richest flelds seemed proaching exhaustion; the whole earth p hardly yield one hundred millions a ‘r. Then, in derision of prophecy and to upsetting of all ealoulations, dawns, thé supply is doubled in seven years, and so great a yield is predicted for the immediate future that we are now face to face with a condition not merely novel to our day, but absolutely unique in his- tory—a prospective glut of gold.” The causes of this marvellous increase in production are such as to give promise of future development even more startling. Fresh discoveries of rich deposits and the development of cheap processes by which low grade ore can be profitably worked are, with improved machinery and cheaper labor, the main causes of the enormous product. The prospect is that new pro- cesses of constantly increasing effective- ness will extract paying gold from lower and lower grades of ore, and that the only Hmit upon the increase of gold production is in the gradual exhaustion of the world’s mines. Upon this point the Popular Science Monthly says: “There Is scarcely any assignable limit to the gold known to exist in the world or even in the United States. It is said that simply by the removal of the restrictions on hydraulic mining California can produce half a billion of gold. The quantity easily obtainable in Colorado is stupendous. Other parts of the United States are also rich, while Australia and Russia probably poses « stock equal to our own, and are ncreasing the annual output every year. But the most surprising and, so to speak, revolutionary facts regarding gold that have recently come to light are those cop- cerning the great Witwatersrandt mines of South Africa. There gold is found in enor- mous quantities and in a cheaply workable form in a new geological situation—‘in strata the component parts of which are pieces of quartz held together by a clayey cement.’ ” Experts have estimated the gold deposits of the Transvaal “in sight” at above thirty- five hundred millions, an amount “equal in value to one-half the total output in all the world from the time that the Two Americas were discovered.” How much longer will it be safe to keep the mints open for free coinage of gould? Toes not gold threaten to become the de- Preciating and depreciated medium? Should not the anti-gold bugs with malice afore- thought assent to the issuance of bonds payable both principal and interest in gold, if by so doing they will in a few years compel the Shylocks to accept the cheaper money? Will not we the pegple then have to combine against the arrogant, blood- sucking silver bugs? —__—___+-¢-+_____ An Excellent Mensure. A simple and effective solution of the grade-crossings problem is afforded by the bill recommended to Congress yesterday by the District Commissioners. It adopts the policy, frequently commended in The Star, of fixing a date beyond which the main- tenance of tracks at grade becomes illegal, punishable by heavy fines, the collection of which would naturally soon bring the offending corporations to terms. The Com- missioners in their bill fix this date at January 1, 1900, and the penalties at 3100 for each train or locomotive crossing a Street at grade, and $100 for each Jay of delay in commencing the work of elevating or depressing the tracks after a lapse of eighteen months from the date of the bill's passage. The general purpose of such a bill ought to become a law. It does not interfere in any way with the specific plans of relief now pending or proposed, for such plans, it is plain, fall within the provision in the Commissioners’ bill that requires the details of the schemes for the abolition of grade-crossings to be approved by the Commissioners and Congress. Some definite time for the abatement of the grade-crossings nuisance should be fixed by law, and whether it is earlier or later than.1900 is, comparatively speaking, im- material. The plan of the Commissioners and Board of Trade Committee on rail- roads is a good one. It gives the roads eighteen months to perfect their plans, and then allows them the remainder of the time until the first day of 1900 to complete the work. Tfiis places a premium on the speedy passage of the proposed bill, for the sooner it becomes alaw the more time will be available for the establishment of the new systems. Meanwhile, the two roads should show some interest in getting favorable action at an early date on the bills prescribing the methods of elevating or lowering the tracks. The bill applying to the Pennsylvania road is now under consideration and a measure relating to the Baltimore and Ohio road is expected to make its appearance in a short time. —__+ e+ _____ The Horrors of War. The latest news that has reached here from Abyssinia is surprising in the ex- treme. When Col. Galliano’s forces came to the relief of Gen. Baratieri, who was be- leaguered at Makalle, they found the lat- ter’s men in a most pitiable condition. Owing to the scarcity of water, they had been unable to wash for twenty-five days, but still their ardor was not one whit abated. It ts difficult to see why this should be regarded as a hardship to a regiment of Italian soldiers, or why any one should think it remarkable that their courage did not ooze away under such circumstances. To one who has seen the Italian son of Mars on his native heath It is not surpris- ing that the men at Makalle could survive an extended period without ablutions. On the contrary, nothing would be so likely to foment discord and insurrection in an Ital- ian barracks as an order to bathe “for the altogether’ at least once a day. Now, if a regiment of the Kentucky National Guard could stand a siege of twenty-five days without a drop of whisky and still be ready to fight, the world might well stand amazed, but it seems as though altogether too much sympathy were being wasted on the Italian army of invasion. 2 = ___ In the House discussion yesterday Rep- resentatives were so unanimously in favor of cheaper gas and cheaper electric light for the District, and they were in favor of these desirable conditions in so many different fashions, that they got in one another’s way, and embarrassed and brought to a standstill one another's re- formatory labors. It is to be hoped that at a very early date indeed an opportunity will be given the House to vote directly on the question of cheaper and better gas, and the question of cheapr and better electric light, since it is evident that if there are no changes of opinion between the present and the time of voting upon such propositions, the decision In favor of these reforms will be unanimous. —_ + +—____ - Dunraven deserved harsher treatment from the committee investigating his charges against the Defender syndicate than he received. But it was an act of charity for the committee to throw an ex- cuse over his churlish utterances by pre- suming that he was “mistaken.’” The only course that will save any remnant of Dun- raven’s former repute as a gentleman is a manly acceptance of the committee's find- ings and public acknowledgment of his “mistake.” ——_ + =>—__ The coal monopolists have made arrange- mem@s for advancing the price of their product.

In speaking of the Armenian question, Lord Salisbury, the British prime minister, declared that none of the powers wished to interfere, and he believed that the sultan’s Prestige would ultimately restore order; he also sald that he was a supporter of the Monroe doctrine as President Monroe un- derstood it. An anarchist threw a stone at King Charles at Lisbon; the king was not struck; the anarchist was arrested. Gen. Gomez passed the military line from Ha- vana to Batabano, Cuba, and started west- ward.
