The Presidency. Ex-Governor Russell of Massachusetts de- clares in an interview that he Is not only not seeking the presidency but would not care to take up the burdens of the office if they were thrust upon him. Let us hepe . Russell spoke hurriedly, or in that Pickwickian sense so often employed by us men. The sentiment, taken seri- ously, would not reflect credit on a young man of parts, with some experience of public office, and with every reason to desire more. But there ts a good deal of this sort of ir. Russell is by no means the only What is the authority for it? acy Is a great office, undoubt- imposes burdens on the incum- it it does not break him, nor make @ slave or hermit of him.

They do not desert him, but hold him ia remembrance and honor, and are always at his service.

In the news columns of The Star will be noted a chapter on boys and ball- ying which brings to the front an in- teresting condition of affairs.

That notorious roof, that post-office roof which the Supervising Architect declares is fireproof yet not incombustible, may by- and-by achteve the dignity of a campaign issue in a presidential year. When The Star first called attention to the gigantic and inexcusable blunder which was being perpetrated, the matter might have been amended In a little while and at compara- tively insignificant cost. When the Super- vising Architect of the Treasury appeared before the House Committee on Public Buildings and Grounds last Friday he stated that the tearing down of the roof, which he admits is tmproper, and the construction of @ new and truly flreproof roof would cost $85,000 and, by reason of the six months’ y that would ensue, the sum of about seven thousand dollars additional that would be patd during that period for the rental of quarters which will not be rented @s soon as the post-office building is ready for occupancy. Yesterday the Secretary of the Treasury transmitted to the chairman of the House Appropriations Committee his views on the roof question, and therein de- clares that the substitution of a freproof roof for the present roof would delay con- struction fylly one year and would, incident- als included, cost $295,000. The ratio of progression as to time and cost is startling. In four days the estimate has jumped from six months of delay, and expenditures and losses footing up $42,000, to one year of delay and aggregated ex- penditures and losses reaching the com- paratively enormous sum of $295,000. If Congress proposes to have the inflammable roof removed it should act instantly; every fleeting moment has great money value; a week of congressional hesitation may send the price of that roof up to $2,000,000 and paralyze the nation’s finances. The intimated desire to avoid delay in the completion of the building and to save the People the money now disbursed in the renting of office-quarters has at least the merit of novelty; it is late in making its appearance, but if it is genuine it should be heartily welcomed. Work on the site was commenced four years, two months and ten days ago, and the task of preparing for the walls was pushed forward so stead- ily and so speedily—when measured by the accepted and slow standard of the Super- vising Architect's cffice—that for awhile the new post-office was regarded as likely to be a recerd-breaker. More than three years ago there came a change of admin- istration and then there followed dimuni- tion In constructive speed unti! the use of the term “speed” was inexcusable. Mazs- ificent office buildings were erected In New Yerk and Chicago while the Supervising Architect's office was debating a minor change in the plans, and thousands of fine houses came into being and were oc- cupied in the time wasted while waiting for something that somebody had neglected to order in season. Then when there was a sufficiency of ma- terial on hand there wes insutffic ciency of men; two or three score of mechanics and laborers were frequently the limit of a force that should have been enumerated by hundreds and that would have been so enumerated had the building been the prop- erty of any business man or corporation. There was no thought then of the valuable time which was being wasted; no official declaration as to the money which was unnecessarily being expended on rented quarters; not until the inetflciency of the Supervising Architect's office was conspicu- ously laid bare in this matter of an in- flammable roof was there any manifesta- Uon of concern because rentals were drain; ing the Treasury. The Secretary's letter is not self- -explana- tory;*there are statements in it not easily to be understood by those who look at this affair from a purely-business standpoint. The post-office design was, as the Secretary Says, approved by officials of the Harrison administration, but it is quite improbable tha’ any of those officials—perhaps not even the then Supervising Architect, since dead—knew anything of the specifications, of the details, the minutiae, the methods by which the design was to be carried to com- pletion. Thcse officials are, however, bur- dened with the responsibility by the present Secretary and Supervising Architect, yet the present Secretary and Supervising Ar- chitect insist that “the roof of the buildin, as now designed conforms to the buildin; ordinances of the cities of Chicago ani New York as being a fire-proof structure, and in this respect also conforms with the requirements of the acts of Congress of August 30, 1890, ahd March 8, 1891." If the roof fs all right, why try to blame a de- parted administration for It? If it is a sat- isfactory roof, why should the present Supervising Architect tell the House Com- mittee that if he had to do the thing over again he would use only incombustible ma- terial in place of thin pine boards? If the Supervising Architect who is dead blun- dered in his specifications, why did not the Supervising Architect who Is living change the specifications before he made the con- tract for the roof. which he says is at once all wrong and all right? —___++-_____ ‘The fact that a New York man who was thought to have been killed by a trolley car revived and lived for a few minutes will, of course, be seized upon by the inter- ested parties and presented to the public as a complete vindication of the overhead wire. Onty one hundred and seventy men were —so say the authorities—at work today on the new city post-office building. Four years, two months and ten days have gone into history sinee. the Job was: commenced. — ¢—____ The fact that ‘his'' unnatural’ ‘whiskers caused the arrest of Commander Booth- Tucker while on a slumming tour proves that populism has no pull on the Bowery. —Ts It mvst be conceded that President Kruger has a most astute faculty for making the other party to the controversy do the guessing. SHOOTING STARS: Barty Indfentions: “I guess we bad better change our minds about educating Willie for the professiun of medicine,” said the boy's mother. “I think he'll go into politics when he grow3 up, and run for Congress.”” Why?" “He got into-an altercation at school to- y, and threw an inkwell at another boy.” ode Collapsed. The man who is always complaining look- ed particularly doleful that day. “You look as if you had that tired feel- ing,” remarked the solicitous friend. “I have. And I feel as if the tire were punctured.” Moderation. Hail to you, May, the season's pet. Escaped from frosts so cruel; it's most too cold for fce bills yet And most too warm for fuel. His Trouble. “De way some folks looks at life makes me weary,” sald Meandering Mike. “I was tellin’ a gent about me troubles, an’ wot yer tink ‘e says ter me?” I dunno,” replied Plodding Pete. “‘e says, “Wot do you care, ez long «z er got yer health?’ "* “Did ye answer ‘im I says, ‘Dat's jes’ de trouble. I'm so healthy now dat I wanter eat nearly all de time. A Variable Preference. “What is your favorite color?” the young woman inquired. nder what Carter rejoined. “Why—I should think that one’s favorite color would be the same at all times.” “Decidedly not, miss. De-cidedly not. Now, if I happen to be admiring a sun- set, my favorite color is red, an’ yellow, an’ somethin’ of that soht. But if it should hoppen that I am engaged tn a friendly game with a@ select circle of puffect gentle- men, in which pokah chips appear, I have a very strong prejudice in favor of blue.” Jubilation. Say! Did you hear about it? Did you bend your anxious ear While the firmament resovnded with that wild exultant cheer? Did you see the grand stand rising in its ecstasy complete? Did you watch the bleachers splinter as the rooters stamped their feet?
