THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY........ ..Mareh 7, 1896, CROSBY S. NOYES. . ..-Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7In order to avoid delays, en ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editerfal or Business Depart- ments, necording to tenor or purpose. The Question of Revenue. Is the tariff DWI dead? Senator Frye thinks it is, and likens its mortuary condi- tion to that of Julius Caesar, who undoubt- edly is dead. Senator Aldrich seems to take this same view. And yet, as a matter of fact, the tariff bill, in the legislative world, is still alive. No bill fs dead until it has been formally declared so, and its cerements provided. The tariff bill Is still on the calendar, sub- ject’ to a motien for consideration at time. That motion may be mate. There is a growing feeling that the measure at least merits discus Senator Carter has crit cised desire to do so, but no Senator has had an opportunity to champion it. There are many Senators who cordixlly approve of it, and fair pk me would seem to demand that an oceasion be afforded them to express any it. and Senator Teller has indicated a If the condition of the y were in any doubt; if a deficteacy were only a mat- ter surmised; if the ht of experience with it nt.to show that the Wilson tariff law r ordinary cireumstan would und Wi, there me exci on the ta is to the revenue producer as encouraging as trying to make two and two foot up Phe law may be a beautiful thing in theory, but its mathematics as applied to the needs of this govergment is the puzzle and de- spair of all prac In the face of this, can Cong adjourn without at least makin; effort to correct the evil?

That course is unfortunately the one: which invites the imost persistent aggressions. eee The President fs unswerving in his de- termination to be his own bureau of infor- mation. —_ - + «2 -— The Journalistic Denth-Rate. In connection with the introduction of a Sabbath observance bill in the Canadian house of commons, Mr. John Charlton has taken occasion to discuss newspaper con- ms in the United States. Mr. Chari- ton’s bill provides fer the closing of all canals, the total stoppage of railway traffic ard of the publication and sale of ne papers on Sunday. Of all the evils wiih which Mr. Charlton propeses to contend, the Sunday newspaper is, he says, the one of mest importance because, insists Mr. Charlton, it is the primary cause of non- observance of the Sabbath in the United States; furthermore the Sunday newspaper is responsible for physically wrecking in an incredibly short time the greater pro- pertion of those who are empicyed upon it. The altogether remarkalle statemeni is made that the average life of a reporter on one of the big American dailies is less than seven years. In support of this allegation there is presented nothing more substantial than a general announcement tha® the mortality tables of the great-cities of the country made the showing claimed. Down in this benighted region it is not known where Mr. Charlton secured the figures upon which he bases his remarkable -as- sumption as to the brief existence of news- Paper workers, but the plain, unadorned facts as to that variety of being will not Lear out any endeavor to raise the in- surance rates for reporters. It may be that the death rate in the journalistic pro- fession is a little higher than it is among members of the Canadian parliament—of the two professions journalism is so very much the more active and makes much ingre of a demand upon the physical and mental forces—but it does not begin to be as high as the congressional death-rate and no one will claim that the Sunday newspaper—poisonous as it sometimes is— is responsible for the demise of even one legislator. Taere is, doubtless, much that is meritorious in Mr. Chariton’s measure — even to the wholly secular the day of rest arpeals stroagly—but he cannot help the Progress of his bill even a little by makiag such foolish assertions as he has made about the journalistic death-rate in the United States. ——_ e+__ Will Directly Benefit the Schoo! An altogether-commendable institution is the Annuity and Ald Asgociation organized by and for the public school teachers of this eity. It should interest everybody who is concerned as to the welfare of Washington's public schools, for it proposes to do a work which, in the opinion of many, belongs to the municipality, v‘ to pension those teachers who, because of advancing years or of disability incidental to the service, are no longer capable instructors of the young. There are at this time teachers who are borne on the rolls merely because the au- thorities cannot summon suffictent inhuman- ity to disc ‘se them; teachers who have devoted their lives to the training of public yet who have been so uid that only i exceptional cases y been able te accumulate a pit- pon which to depend during the hel The ret: but no longer whol . of course, detracte from the eflictency of an admirable system; the average will be exalted considerably when the association commences to disburse the interest upon its principal, it must be evident io ail who !ook into the sitvation that the teachers are doing for the schools something that might equitably be done by our board of aldermen and common coun=il at the Capitol.
