Dollar Gas in the Senate. It Is to be regretted that the Senate Com- mittee on the District of Columbia has, as to the price s, sought to favor the few at tl pense of " ne practical business men on that committee. in com- mop with ali fair-minded persons who read carefully the testimony submitted to the committee, were fully convince] that il- luminating gas could be made and dis- tributed the District of Columbia for oae dollar per thousand feet, and that such a rate would afford to the Washington Gas- Itght Company a fair ai Hicient profit. The House Dist and the House of Representatives itself came to that conclusion, and the it was the passage of the dollar-gas bill through one branch of the national legislature and city council. The action of the Senate committee in providing for an immediate cut of ten cents per thousand fest and viher reductions until, five years hence, the price will be one dollar per thousand feet, has, however, the good effect of preventing a smothering of the bill in that committee, a real danger to which the measure has been exposed. ‘The proba- bilities are that the Senate will support the action of its committee, though there ts a possibility that it may decide to approxi- mate more closely the House bill. But whatever the Senate does, Washingtonians generally will be pleased at the fact that the District com has agreed upon a report, which means that the Senate will have a speedy opportunity to legislate upon this locally important subject. It is un- doubtedly the desire of the gas company that consideration of the measure be de- layed as much as possible, to the end that no conclusive action m be had during the Present session. The di ion of the com- mittee makes it easily possibile for the Sen- ate to put itself cn record in the near future, and it is not at all likely that the Benate will vote into existence any Dill less ‘ptable to the gas-consum public than mi ure which has been agret on by thi Distrfet_com- mittee. What Washington wants is dollar It wants dollar gas now. It will pay Iy uf it has to and will consent to ction to one dollar only if better it will undoubted- the conference com- ter terms denied it Senate Disregarded “ode.” people of the north urope think about the Kk place between Sebree Hall and The ep- niative Hernando De Soto Money, It is south will be horrified 2 or sion.

It Is a reasonable suppo- sition that similar complaints in even greater volume must pour in upon the au- thorities who are charged ,with the duty of doing ali they possibly can to preserve order on the highways of the District of Columbia, so it 1s surprising that except in one or two places litile or no attention and that by non-usage the com-* lessness which is entirely too common in Washingten, but the result was not brought about either by moral suasion or official indifference. In both places the police au- thorities mounted a small number of capabie officers on bicycles and sent them out to watch for and pursue and capture the vicious or careless ones, who, by their rapidity of movement, of were in the habit terrorizing hundreds of pedestrians A considerable number of arrests been made and it is now the excep- tion and not the rule for any one to ‘in- dulge in fast driving or in “scorching” in the Quaker City or on Manhattan Island. The same plon would undoubtedly work well in Washington, where the temptations to speedy movement are much greater than in any other city in the country. The Star has several times suggested the employ- ment of bicycle policemen, did so in fact before such persons were mentioned else- Where. Why is the idea not put in prac- tice here? —_——_++ + ____ Suffering in Alaska. Some time ago The Star gave expression to the hope that men devoid of combined grit and capital would not join in the rush which was being made to the gold fields of Alaska. But the promise of riches was a magnet more powerful than any altractive force operating only on reason, fur a con- siderable number of unfit and unprepared men did proceed to Alaska and in the great majority of instances nave had every ex- cuse for being thoroughly disappointed. Late advices from our northwest territory are very depressing. A news paragraph says that Sitka and Juneau are uncom- fortably overpopulated with miners who cannot start for the gold fields because of the heavy snows on the hills and the un- broken ice in the streams. Cook's Inlet is frozen and, as a consequence, the miucrs who went up there early are suffering all manner of hardship. The necessaries of life are being sold at prices that seem to be, and may be, exorbitant, and hundreds of the men who have not the means with which to support Hfe in that inhospitmble region have not, of course, sufficient money to take them back to Puget Sound or San Francisco. Exploration and early frontier history are always mcre or less tragical; there will be no exception to the rule in Alaska. —___-+ +_____ Pay These Claims at Onc Announcement that the commission cherged with the work of adjudicating the claims of those persons who suffered either directly or indirectly through the Ford's Theater disaster is once more en- gaged in an endeavor to settle up will be received with joy by most of the suf- ferers. That hope which springs eternal in the human breast will again come to the surface, and for the thousandth time there will be calculation in many humble and poverty-stricken homes as to how the award shall be spent wien the day of payment arrives. The ways of Congress are in many respects past finding out, and there are times when the national legis!z- ture is unjustly aceused of inexcusable tardiness, but it does not now appear as though any sound ,excuse could be offered for the cruel delay which has been the ™ conspicuous feature of congressional dealing with a matier that called for un- usual promptness and the broadest of Hb- erality. : ee After reflecting on his narrow escape yesterday and on the difficulty that the House and Senate manage to make for him, the President would be justified in concluding that he is having more than his share of trouble with unmanageable teams, ——___ + o + ___ One of the strangest things to be noted in connection with the X ray is that it has not yet developed a company to take the public’s money in exchange for stock. ——_ ree New England man, ex-Governor can be relied on to inspect the d@mocratic nomination to make sure that it is not a wooden nutmeg. —__ + e+ _ Mr. McKinley is convinced that the inter- ests of harmony will be promoted by his leaving nothing fer the other men to quarrel over. —— ++ e+ ____ There is foundation for the apprehension that the Eckington railway’s pneumatic motor is laid up somewhere with a punc- ture. ———_ + e+ ____. = Among the needs of the District may be mentioned a crematory that will burn and a post-office roof that will not. ——__+ +e ______ SHOOTING STARS.
