Agreement having been reached as to the fas bill, the people of Wash’ now congratulate themselves that the agitation tter gas has re- in favor of cheaper and be sulted In material reduc and promise of considerable betterment as to quality, though tn neither respect has the full extent of improvement hoped for been realized. As soon as the President signs the measure im question—and there does not seem to be any reason why he may nét sign it—it will be the law that from July 1 next to July 1, 1901, the price of gas in this ctty shall pe: be $1.10 per thousand feet, and $1 thousand feet from the latter date. The je demanded dollar gas, and at times t seemed probable that dollar gas might be- an immediate reality. The Hoyse of tatives devoted a great deal time = ation of the gas question, and came to the conclusion that an illuminat- ing fluid of good quality could be made and sold for $1 per thousand; in the D appropriation bill the House went evei ther and cut the rate to 75 cents. The Sen- > investigated, but it declined to be together by the facts as they were it decided that $1.15 would be ap enough for the present, with a slid- ing reduction to the ultimate, five years hence, of $1.

The attention of campaign statisticians is ully called to a calculating machine Tecenfly been invented by an in- ious French scientist. Calculating ma- chines are not new and some of them are capable of extraerdinary performances but if the truth ds told about this new machine there never has been anything, animate or inanimate, that could compare with it for speed and accuracy. It is stated by good: authority that all the figuring is done au- tomatically, whether it be addition, sub- its re rs the ii It member ubje r that any of t any than word: ae ate 2 traction, multiplication, division, equation, *xtraction of roots, reduction or differentia- tien. Whatever is needed can be had in a hurry and without error. Expert crities have tried in many ways to catch the ma- chine blundering but they have invariably failed. One of the remarkable results achieved was when 6,222,303,444 was mul- tiplied by 8,888,111,224. The answer—s, 30: .456—appeared on the reg- ister in less than three seconds. Mr. Gros- venor, who has now a national reputation as a statistical expert, might without shame confess inferiority in the face of this show- ing, and set the machine to work in figur- ing upon the McKinley boom. soe — As a conscientious man the President shoul@ have hesitated before risking an alienation of Kentucky's affection for Mr. Carlisle unless he expects to be in a Position to offer him something equally as gcod in private life. +02 Honesty Wins, Once More. All technicalities adverse to the success- ful operation of the oleomargarine law having been swept away by the decision of the Court of Appeals thore should be re- newed energy in the work of enforcing the provisions of the statute. It has been mado plain. by The Star and through the courts, that Washingtonians have been much im- Pesed upon by conscienceless dealers who have acquired great illegal profits by sell- ing oleomargarine to persons who supposed they were purchasing butter. “A crusade against this meanest sort of dishonesty -re- sulted in a iarge number of indictments which in most of the cases will undoubt- edly develop inte convictions ‘at an early date. These prosecutions have been held | up pending the decision of the Court of] Appeals in what was practically a test case | but which is now settled. There were ently | two contentions of importance raised by the defense: One that the oleomargarine | law is not a valid and constitutional law, the other that an illegal sale by an em- | ploye did not make the employer criminally labie. defense and affirmed the conviction of Wilkes C. Prather; who must now pay a fine of $50, the costs of the suit, and suffer imprisonment in jail for three hours. The sentence is a light one for such an of- fense; it was made so purposely because the Prather case was the first one made in the District and because it was the desire of both the prosecution and the defense to test the strength of the law under which the case was tried. It is quite improbable that succeeding cases will be leniently dealt with. Those who offend are fuliy aware of the character of their acts and the probable consequences. Having regard for his duty and for the public whose serv- ant he 1s, the United States District At- torney will undoubtedly push to speedy conclusion the indictments he has already secured. Prompt action at this time, sup- plemented by alert fidelity on the part of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue will discourage, if not completely eliminate,” the dishonorable methods which resulted in the sale of cheap oleomargarine to defraud- ed persons who asked for and paid for the more expensive butter. —_—_ + «+ —__ It is never safe to erect a permanent memento of a public man such as Mr. Cleveland's portrait in the frieze at the Capitol would be until tae record of his life is complete. “And yet it seems hard to deprive posterity of a chance to see the pensive droop of the Duke of Veragua’s side-whiskers while the President pressed the butten and plunged the American pub- lic into the bewildering sophistications of the Miaway Plaisance. 2 «2 The Prince of Wales’ visit to Mr. Astor cannot be regarded otherw than as a mark of disinterested friendship.
