The Lessons Taught by Fire. The loss of life which resulted from last night’s expensive fire once more calls at- tention to the insufficiency of the District fire department. Of its efficiency in very s there can be no question th-roll testifies te the bravery iticed themselves in the men who sac to orders and in response to of the obedience call of duty. But the department fs much tce weak. This is no longer a small town; it is a great city and it should have fire- fighting equipment other great have. It may be that for fires of jinary dimensions the number of com- i: the is sufficient, but whenever a sn exceeds the zed building then bounds of < - y becomes painfully and dan- the defic apparent. There should be not less than six theroughly-equipped compa- nies added to the present force, so that uch occasions as the B street fire it or would be possible to pour upon the flames a sufficient body of water frem safe dis- opriation bill has it will prob- be acted upon during the present it should provic for such an in- of the fire department as is called nse of the authorities who have in charge. ‘There no economy of money needed for suc tance been > Senate; atte in the withholding purpose: id it rophes are pal and con- a this particular instance but they may not be spoken of ion with the losses suffered Ly natural protectors were crush- ned to death while performing y for which the recompense is all Ul It will be the philanthropic » of this community, The Star has t, to contribute liberally to allevi- financial distress which must be the deaths of the firemen rope njun. at the quent upen who last night died in the public behalf. ‘The Star will receive and properly account for and forward any contributions that may be placed in its keeping. It heads the subscription list with $100. There really should be a permanent fund established to do what is accomplished by these spas- modic efforts; if the fire underwriters of the District would only organize such a fund in accordance with past suggestions, they would undoubtedly receive material encouragement. Meanwhile—in the ab- sence of a permanent fund—there should be aste to relieve the dependent survivors of dead or disabled firemen. ———— The Senate and Dollar Gas. The Senate has adopted the report of the Se District committee on the House on to compel the Washington Gas- t Company to sell gas at the rate of The senatorial idea that $1.15 per thousand should be the mt rate, the reduction to $1 being eradual and occupying a peried of five ¥ The problem is ence more in the hands of the House and is likely to occupy the attention of that body once or twice before the solution is reached. There will doubtless be much reviewing of testimony, expert and otherwise, both in conference and in public debate, and out of it all may come the desire of the popular heart— good gas at a fair price. It will be well if the conferees pay par- lar attention to Senator Thurston’s dis- ion in yesterday's debate of the gas company’s balance sheet, as giving prac- tical proof of the corporation's ability to furnish dollar gas at a fair profit. The Senator from Nebraska knows a balance th when he sees one—as chief counsel for some of the biggest and most compli- cated railroad corporations In the country he has had much to do with their construc- tion—so it Is worthy of note that he satd: “I confess I have been startled this after- reon when I came to scan the balance sheet of the business operations of this gas company for 18%. * * * The most re- ie corporate earnings statement ich was ever presented for the examina- tion of the American public. * * * That ny paid dividends on a capital s That fs thirty ent d Ss entire capital stock that : know something ut $1 per thousand feet. is se for fa against the earnings of the comp way of operating expenses. The debtor of this ledger not only chazges all cperating expenses, but out of the earnings of last there has been invested in the permanent purchase—not an operating ex- Pense—$100,000 for the purchase of a whart ard other property here in the city. There hes also gone to the extension of the plant in the way of street mains and new im- Frovements almost another $100,000—abeut &¥).0c0—and that-real ledger account stands way—anrd no man can nge, it in y judgment—that that company earned ”” profit, and in addition invested in and parce to the own 000, In addition est on $2,000,000 capi- but what else? Where did they get the «) of bonds that they sold, and that I have excluded from this comparative state- nt of mine?” ———_+«-+___ Ex-President Harrison is not to be blamed for hesitation about throwing himself into ® breach which was not very large in the first place and which is becoming more and more crowded. a There is reason to suppose that in the next three cr four months General Weyler's zrmy will use up considerably more quinine than it does ammunition. eo “Chronte Gramblers and Kickers.” “If there ts any place on the face of God's green earth which contains a population with so large a proportion of chronic grumb- lers and k the District of Columbia I have never come ac So said Senator Ga course of de’ nger yesterday in the Date on the dollar-gas dill. It was the protesting outcry of a soul wearied with long struggling with the many varie- ties of pe: who constitute the population of the District of Colu - The Senator's cutburst cannot be regarded as surprising by those who are acquainted with local leg- ative co ons, yet it would be well for those members of Congress who are restive ‘Sader honest local pressure to bear in mind the fact that the situation is one for which and through constitutional Selene the nation has declared that Congress shall have exclusive power of legislation in re- spect to the national capital. That declara- tion meant, of course, that the work of gov- ernment would be performed in a manner: not oppressive to those governed and cred- itable to the governing power. It meant that Congress would take upon its own shoulders burdens such as are ordinarily berne by boards of aldermen and common councils. It meant that Senators and Rep- resentatives—and especially those who were detailed to duty as members of the Distrfet and appropriations committees—would act as representatives of the people resident here, even of the “chronic grumblers and kickers,” and would deal by Washington as justly and as patiently as they would by those communities where the ballot flour- ishes and is potent. Many legis!ators have toiled hard in endeavoring to do what they believed would be for the best interests of the District—among lnger—and many have suffered as the Sen- ator has undoubtedly suffered. But the Senator from New Hampshire should not permit his weariness to stir up epithetic wrath. A year ago the esteemed Sen- ator was in close communion with the “chronic grumblers and kickers” on the subject of dollar gas; he was counted as one of their most doughty champions and would have been regarded as the last man likely to turn upon them and rend them. Today the Senator is no longer a believer in dollar sas. He has honestly exercised a personal prerogative, which none will deny aim. As a result of listening for a few minutes to an expert and professional witness, and of at- taching more weight to that character of evidence than the rest of us are inclined to do, he has changed his mind. Surely the Senator is inconsiderate in dealing severely with his old associates on the gas question— “the chronic grumblers and kickers"—be- cause they cannot change their minds as rapidly as he has, and because they con- tinue to think as he and they did last year, for the reasons so conclusively stated by Senators Thurston, Kyle and George. —+ ee College Athletics. An unanswered question has just been put by the University Courier, which is the official organ of the University of Pennsylvania, The query is: “Are we com- ing to the realization that there has been an abnormal tendency to make athletics the whole rather than a part of the whole of student life’' The Courier’s editor re- frains from definite comment, but his very uncertainty is testimony that can be used by those who are of the opinion that col- lege athletics have realiy gone too far. The Courier notes inat : “A decade or two since, to Hag in the more inte! recreation and amuseme wane of rise of athletics. Interest in athletics grew both among the colleges and the public till the daily press teemed with columns of the doings of the athlete. The college was lost sight of in the eager saze turned toward the college athlete, and colleges became famous not for their schclars, but for their foot bali players.” When a college paper inclines as does this journal we may reasonably expect a renewal of warm debate on college ath- letics; it will probably make its appear- ance between the baseball and the foot- ball seasons. ——+ ee _____ Again has the fire-department given an exhibition of heroism the more impressive because it was without ostentation. The firemen who lost their lives in last night's conflagration had no hope of reward for their perilous efforts other than the satis- faction which comes when a duty is con- sciextiously performed. Yet few soldiers on the battlefield, inspired by the adulation of the multitudes and the possibilities of preferment, have faced death more cour- ageously. The selection of a cabinet for Mr. McKin- ley by people who assume to know all about his affairs seems to leave everything about his prospective administration settled ex- cept perhaps its financial policy. ——+ +__ The Spaniards who want the treaty with this country denounced will probably prove to be just about as numerous and as in- fluential as those who recently put in their time burning flags. —————_~+e-—. The President may have in mind that axiom which holds that it is imprudent for a politician to rush in and decline any- thing until he is absolutely sure he can- not get it. ——_+ e+ ___ Only ninety men were at work today on the new city post-office building, say those in authority on that fireproof structure interest began ctual means ot and with the t, the literary societies came the which is crowned with an inflammable reof. > —___ SHOOTING STARS, Life’s Ups and Downs.

But fohce of habit got him into a very em- barrassin’ not to say hazardous predica- ment.” “Did he-er—did he indulge in too much stimulant?” “Nothing of the soht, suh. No, suh. But he belonged to the literary school which makes frequent use of the pronoun ‘we’ in its editorial writing. And would you be- leve ft, suh, that man wrote ‘we’ so often that he got to thinking cf himself in the plural number and inadvertently voted six- teen times at the same election.” An Impenitent.
