EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON. FRIDAY. April 10, 1896. CROSBY 5S. NOYES.............-.-Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- eulation of the other Washington dailies. As an News and Advertising Medium it bas no competitor. co \d delays, om ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR oald not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. It Will Re a Fireproof Roof. It is one of the immediate probabilities that the Supervising Architect of the Treasury will at once direct that further construction of the highly inflammable roof now being placed on the city post-office building be at least held in abeyance, even if he does not instantly proceed to bring about the removal of the lumber and slate already in place. Fither of these things is quite likely to oceur, for today the Sen- ate passed a joint resolution calling upon the Secretary of the Treasury to direct the removal of the fire-enticing material from the roof of the structure in question and insisting that the building shall be completed in accordance with the law au- thorizing its erection; a law which calls for a tire-proof building. The joint resolution has doubtless by this time been conveyed to the House of Representatives, and as there fs no good reason why that bedy should differ from the Senate in this matter the odds are all favorable to the resolution becoming a law. The necessity for congressional in- tervention could have been avoided en- tirely had the Supervising Architect been mindful either of his professional reputa- tien or of the law which should have gov- erned him, but which he seems to have ignored until its existence is specifically pol | out to him by the Senate. The Star has several times directed that official's atrention to the construction which has been generally condemned. Archi- tects, inspecters of buildings, the chief of the fire department and other people who may reesonably lay claim to the posses- sion of expert knowledge in such an affair have not hesitated to put themselves on record adversely to the tinder roof, and their comments have been voiced by The Star. Taat the character of the roof will be changed for the better now seems to be certain, and for such an amendment the architectural and building professions—to say nothing of the fire department—will be grateful. But it is a most extraordinary thing that Congress should have to day aside business of naticnal importance to point the Supervising Architect of the Treasury to the path along which he should have gone without suggestion or direction from anybody. —__+ + +____ Railroad Reform Comes Slowly. It seems to be understood that the Bal- timore and Ohio Railway Company has at last consented to some of the propusitions which have been made to it as to the abolition of grade crossings by track eleva- tien. Fer several years the people of Washington have done about all that was in their power to remove the grade-crossing menace from the city streets but, so far, without success. Promise of success has been many times epparent—again and again have those who represented both the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania Ccmpanies intimated that a satisfactory solution of the problem was at hand— ut disappointment succeeded disappoint- Ment until the stocks of hope and patience were well-nigh exhausted. Today the sit- uation se2ms to be an improvement on any of its predecessors, for instead of ignoring the popular wishes and the humane and businesslike demands of the community the two corporations have undoubtedly con- sidered plans and discussed ways and mesons; a decided stride in advance. Out ef deliberate consultation have come the companies’ ideas as to what should be done, and those ideas will soon be com- pletely expressed in bilis. We already know, approximately, what the Pennsylva- nia Company expects the community to do, as its share of the betterments so long and so persistently sought by the people, and within a day or two the proposition advanced by the Baltimore and Ohio man- agement will be submitted. To some ex- tent the plans will, of course, be modified— the companies will naturally ask for more then they expect, so that there.may be leeway for compromises—but, in the main, the principal features of the bills will be undisturbed. Senator McMillan has taken this matter in hand. Always earnest, he is especially-so on this important topic. If he shall succeed in bringing about the reform for which the people of Washing- ton have so long petitioned he wili deserve great credit. —+6o—__— Deeds Are Wanted, Not Words. Perhaps the District Commissioners sur- Trised the Eckington-Belt railroad man- agement when they reported adversely on the bill authorizing extensions of the Eck- ington tracks but the chances are that no one was astonished. That the joint compa- nies are anxious to secure additional rights is certain but not even the most enthusi- astic of their supporters can argue for a moment that they deserve any of the favors for which they plead so persistently. With- in a few days the United States district called the attention of the authorities to the fact that tracks laid by the Eckington company long ago have never been used, although the company's contract with the public guaranteed their use within the limits of a reasonable period now some time expired. The popular and Proper course for the Eckington-Belt man- agement to pursue has often been puinted out by The Star—it should operate: the privileges it has in such a manner as to convince its patrons, who would then be its friends, that it was deserving of additional grants such as itis now petitioning for. If the Eckington-Belt lines were run with any regard for the fact that the twentieth cen- tury is almost here there would not be eny objection to Congress presenting the cor- poration with all the rights of way it could reasonably hope for. To establish public confidence the maragement should give some tangible proof of its desire to modern- ize its car-motors. —— +> —__ Only one hundred men were employed teday on the city post-office building. Some of the toilers were engaged in constructing the pine roof at the same time as the Sen- ate was engaged in ordering the removal of the same. ——————+ +s ____ To many patrons of the turf, racing with- @ut the book-maker would be like Hamlet minus the title-role. —_—_~>+e—____. Pauperism and Longevity. ‘Three or four days ago there died at the Middletown (N.¥.) Almshcuse a man who hed urdoubtedly reached the advanced age of 106 years. That event called to mind several recently-made announcements as to the whereabouts and the physical and men- tal conditions of a number of individuals who have crossed the century line. The notable fact is the location of all of those individuals in institutions supported by the Public; proof that longevity ‘s almost in- variably the privilege of the poor. Not once im ten years Go we hear of a rich man’s achieving the perhaps dubious dis- tinction of completing one hundred years of mortal existence, but it is quite the com- mon thing to know or read of poverty- ‘system. stricken men and- who not-only cress the centennial line; bat frequently go far beyond it. It is therefore, apparently, the argument that poverty and its.accom- peniment of the simplest and cheapest ferms of food are more healthful in their influences than all the comforts that money can buy. There is a great deal of truth in tEat deduction, but in it no note is taken of @ much more important factor in the human existence of today—the relative wear and tear of mere’ physical toil and streruous mental endeavor joined with a large percentage of muscular endeavor. It is self-evident that those persons who seek shelter in charitable institutions are to be classed with the uasucc ‘ul, and as lack of success in life is most frequently the result of lack‘ef energy it appears that frugality of toil, and especially of mental lator accompanied by anxiety, and an un- ambitious nature are really essential to remarkable longevity. The man who does his share of mental and physical work— which is larger than it would be were ajl alike industrious—cannot expect to go far, if any, beyond the scriptural limit. : —____+ oe —____— When the Disirict appropriation bill gets over to the Senate it could be. popularly and equitably amended by the addition of @ paragraph which would result in a suffi- cient contribution to the police pension fund. As things now are, the pensioncrs are such only in name, although they de- serve the most libera} sort of treatment. ‘The disabled men have served the city with marked fidelity and are fit subjects for the material assistance promised faithful but disabled officers. The women and children who should be beneficiaries of the fund have claims not to be disputed by the humane. ———_+ + + ____ The proposition to give the District of Columbia five Commissioners sounds gen- erous.

SHOOTING STARS. He Felt Confident. “Do you worry about meeting your netes?” said the victim of pecuniary em- barrassments. “No,” said the person who is indiscrim- inately flippant. “I don’t worry about meeting "em. Experience has taught me that I can just sit down and trust to ‘em to run across me.” The One Objection. She bought a pretty parasol Of an entrancing shade; But dared not take it in the sun For fear that it would fade. The two cats were conversing on a house top in Madrid. “There's no use in talking,” said one of them; “we've got to give in. I used to think that we were safe in our peculiar glory of having nine lives."" “This is an era of record-smashing.” “That's what it is. Nine lives doesn’t put us in the race with a general in the Cuban army.” The Burglar and the Bloomers. He gently smiled, “These togs,”” quoth he, “Are fine, I must allow. Where once I floundered hopelessly, I find the peckets, now.” Mouotony. “The base ball season will be in full blast very soon,” remarked the enthusiast. “Yes;.1 suppose so.” “You don’t act as if you were going to take your old-time interest im the fortunes of the home team.” “Well, you see, heretofore I've been im- pressed that they were rushing things too much. We scarcely get through looking after Easter eggs before we're called on to turn our attention to goose eggs.” Suggestions of the Senson. Oh, purchase her a gossamer, And some good gum shoes, we pray, For she’s to be queen of the May, moth2r, She's to be queen of the May. A Persistent Offender. “I have done my best,” the editor re- marked, “to establish this paper in the con- fidence of the community.” “I think you have succeeded,” was the reply. “Yes; to a great extent. But there is one regular contributor whom I can’t break of bis habit of faking.” “Who is that?” “The man who sends in the weather re- perts.

From the Philadelphia Telegraph. A report concerning the free public libraries of Massachusetts contains some statistics which are very encouraging to those who would still like to believe in the virtue and worth of the democratic Democracy does not exist any- where in this country in a truer form than in the local communities of New England, and aithough we in this section are in- clined to the bellef that the people in the tewns and townships are too much given to a consideration of their pockets to vote to tax themselves for the purpose of con- structing good roeds, founding libraries and so cn, this seems not to be the ex- perience in Massachusetts. There the de- velopment of the people has progressed to such a point that there are enough persons in almost every community who under- stand the need of these things to be willing to pay out money for these purposes. It requires, in the first place, a certain public intelligence before men can perceive the worth of such a pelicy. Some men are un- able to understand that free libraries or good roads will really bring any benefit to the community. They are so dull of in- tellect that they cannot see the value of such things In the second place, men must have what is generally called public spirit before these ideas can be realized. A man may be sufficiently intelligent to appreciate the benefits which may accrue to the community by a more far-sighted pelicy, but he may still be unwilling to do at.ything at all to bring such results about. He may be excessively individualistic_so ignorantly so that he will prefer to live along on the old system rather than suffer a slight increase in the tax-rate. This has been the experience in some parts of this ccuntry, and if New England ts able to do better it certainly is something in which we should all feel a great deai of gratifica- ticn. * * * Massachusetts is surely to be congratu'ated ,and it is to be hoped that — other states will soon put themselves | cy Sie arma, Deals, fo the cet iat wo may come to show a higher average rate of public intelligence, not only in New Eng- land, but throughout. the entire country. > 5 King’s |.
