Medium it has no competitor. the resolutions, declined to forward them, and the work of Congress was thus lost on the sultan, who does not know officially whether the American people care anything about their missionaries in his dominion or not. If the action of Congress had been officially promulgated, shall anybody say that the effect at Constantinople would not have been salutary? It need not be assumed that the President acted otherwise than in obedience to con- scientious judgment in this matter. At the same time there is a lesson in it all for him. ‘Two héads are better than one. A recogni- tion of that fact is the American govern- ment itself. An expression by the two houses of Congress ought never lightly to be put aside. In the American matter that expression was not only properly obtained, but was indorsed by the people at large. There was the double reason therefore why the President should have nesitated to put his opinion against it. And now in this matter of Cuba. The resolutions passed by Congress are the will of the people. They represent the delibera- tions of both houses of Congress, and they call for the eg-operation of the President to make them thoroughly effective. They have the indorsement of some of the closest of the President’s own friends. Should he rot heed them? Does not every considera- uon call for early and favorable action on his part? Can he afford to take the risk of Partly nullifying them? The bloodiest of wars is in progress in Cuba, and may be stopped, or encouraged and continued, by the President's course. t7Im order te avoid delays, om ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but wly te THE STAR, or to the EditorinI or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor er purpose. A. Misrepresentative of Vermont. When Mr. Powers of Vermont opposed the free library bill for the cvowed purpose of Frotecting his constituents’ contributions to the national taxes from being misapplied in any such fashion The Star expressed sur- prise that a representative of Vermont should assume this attitude. Opposition to an educational proposition in development of the national capital was not expected from Vermont, “a state of intelligent, edu- cated, broad-minded and patriotic people,” “a state of public schools and free libraries, and as an adcitfonal factor in the surprise at this unnatural and unpatriotic stinginess and narrow-mindedness in an alleged repr2- sentative of Vermont the fact was pointed out that Vermont was only an infinitesimal contributor to the fund of which Mr. Powers had constituted himself the guardian. In the House on Tuesday Mr. Powers re- Piied to this expression of surprise as fol- lows: “Now what do internal revenue taxes come from? They come from rum and to- bacco; and the highest compliment that that paper could have paid my own state Wa; to call attention to the fact that it was @ state with a hundred thousand more peo- ple than this city, and that that whole state pays less than onc-twelfth as much for the privilege of selling rum as this city pays. There is where the fallacy of that argument rests.” Instead of showing any fallacy in The Star's argument Mr. Powers strengthens and confirms it. He admits that Vermont is an infinitesimal contributor to the natfonal taxes, and contends that this fact is evi- dence that the state is meral and intelligent, which is the very thing that The Star claimed in expressing surprise that Mr. Powers should misrepresent his state by opposing a free library. The Star is glad in every way, directly and indirectly, to compliment the people of Vermont upon the possession of moral and intellectual at- tributes, which necessarily involve the re- pudiation of Mr. Powers, so far as his course upon the library bill is concerned. A free library with reading rooms open &t night is the modern substitute for the seioon as a resort for the young men of a community. The Vermonter, as an enemy of rum and a friend of education, would naturally favor the establishment of a free library at the capital. The fact that there were rumshops here which needed to be neutralized, frem which his state was com- peratively free, and the alleged fact that the Washinstonian, from the presezce of rum shops, was a heavy contributor to the fund from which the library was to be created whil2 he, from the absence of such shops, contributed little or nothing, would eenvince him of the justice as well as the wisdom of blessing the capital city with a free library. Mr. Powers continues: “Now get beyond the matter of national taxation and take up local taxation. There is hardly a town in the state of Vermont but that pays nearly deuble the tax for the support of local in- stitutions and local affairs than is paid by the people of this District.” The census figures contradict this state- ment emphatically. According to extra census bulletin No. 65, concerning the finances of municipalitics having 4,000 or more of popviation in 1890, there is not one Vermont town of which this statement is €ven approximately true. The general rule is that taxes increase with the population of the municipality. There is no room to belizve that towns of Jess than 4,000 population in Vermont are taxed more heavily than those above 4,000. ‘The figures concerning all the towas in Mr. Powers’ “district having more than 4s people as compared with Washington are as follows: ———~+s___ A Fair Price for Gas. If the passage or rejection of the dollar gas bill by the Senate District committee now hinges upon the question of whether or not the present company can maké a reasonable profit at a retail price of one dollar, there should be no hesitation in the mind of every member of the committee tomorrow morning when this: measure is brought forward for final consideration, The gas company has answered this ques- tion itself—answered it affirmatively. It has shown beyond all doubt that it can manufacture and distribute a good illumi- nant In ample quantity at a dollar a thous- and and make a larger profit than the average private business produces, and larger, too, than any public corporation of the same character would be allowed to make on the other side of the Atlantic ocean. It is argued by the friends of the company in and out of committee that the reduction in the price of gas must not be made at the expense of sacrificing the in- terests of the Innocent stockholders, whose minority holdings are entirely in the charge of the larger owners of the company. It does not savor of sacrifice, however, to reg- ulate this public corporation that has a paramount duty to perform toward the public which it serves, so as to reduce the percentage of profit to entirely reasonable figures. There are few corporations of a Private nature that can command such an income as is confessed and there is nothing in the case of the Washington Gaslight Company that should exempt it from the general tendency of public affairs, which is daily giving the people more and more di- rect control over such vitally important matters as public illumination. —__~+++___ The local labor organizations which have been working for the free library bill are disposed, it is wnderstcod, to resent Mr. Powers’ reference to them as a “lobby” pushing “a job,” and to communicate their resentment at the insult to affiliated labor organizations in Vermont. ———~em One conspicuous merit of the campaign button is that with ‘all its pretenses ‘to novelty it has remained superior to the Beardsley craze. ——___~- e+ ___ The Sultan cannot see his way clear to offering a business-like objection to the dis- tribution of supplies which cost his govern- ment nothing. ——_+s___ Mr. Quay makes it clear that any burglar who wants to get poss2ssion of his political plots will have to be a mind reader. ———_~-+2___ Mr. Reed declines to get hysterical over his own boom or anybody's else. —<+ +2 SHOOTING STARS.

It thus appears that there is no town in Mr. Powers’ district which is so heavily taxed as Washington, and rone which has anywhere near the same amount of municipal indebtedness to reduce the rev- entes applicable to current expenses; and it may be stated without fear of contra- diction that there is no Vermont town which has so large a percentage of float- It Depends. “Do you think that it is ladylike for a woman to ride a bicycle?” she inquired. “Yes,” he replied; “unless she insists on riding like a gentleman.” As Good as the Rest. ing, non-taxpaying population as the capi- | “Nc, sir,” said the new Congressman, tal, with its one-third negro population | With emphasis, “I don’t propose to lend a and its thovsands of temporary visitors | Jot of my influence toward getting a free and government employes, and this non- | library for Washington er any other city.” tax per in ing population reduces the nominal capita tax levy without reducing it fact by eash contributi ———__ + ee _.

The case of Rev. Mr. Knapp, the Ameri- can missionary in trouble in Turkey, is engaging the attention of the humanitari- ans in England. At a meeting held in Lon- don yesterday it “was made the subject of special expression,” the cable relates, and a moticn requesting the government to take steps to secure Mr. Knapp's release was unanimously adopted. This action was well meant and in every way praiseworthy. It should and will be highly appreciated in this country. It testi- fies to friendship, to neighborliness, and to sympathy with men engaged in the spread of civilization. And yet how suggestive it] «Can't be arranged,” is!
