When the warmth of summer is past and most of the vacations are over, the Young Men's Christian Association of this city Proposes to start out on a crusale that must be successful. The Association 1.eeds @ modern and capacious stra-ture in which to establish headquarters and house many varieties of mental and physical incentives. It has needed such a building for a long time, and as th: population tnd importance of Washington increase, the necessity for Y. M. C. A. extension grows steadily. Of this necessity there has been public recog- nition, but the recognition of the past will be as nothing when it comes to be com- pared with the recognition that will be ac- corded it in the immediate future. If the Y. M. ©. A. wants a new building-.and it does—then the people of this city must provide one. Net an insignificant structur creditable neither to the city nor th cation, but a first-class and thoro equipped specimen of high-g: ture, put up in the best style, and costing ©f course, a considerable sum of is a season of commer-tal depres . but there is enough of currency that can be spared to bring about the consummation of that work which was planacd by the late and deeply-lamented Secretary Pugh, and which will certainly be wrought out in all Secretary Mul- Primarily, the ¥. M. C. A. would seem to be more deeply interested in this build- proposition than are those citizens who have no direct connection with the asso-la tion, but as a matter of fact the public should be very deeply concerned in the as- hi and money ts somewhat sca ely aA ization: it is a powerful factor in the sment of good citizenship. — 2 More Confidence Why it is that when the War Depart- ment goes hunting for water the search Is frequently and so conspicuously unsuc- Years ago an effort was made, at sreat expense to the taxpayers of the Dis- trict, to increase the city’s water supply by the construction of the aqueduct tunnel Everybody who knows anything about the reeent history of Washington knows how and why that project came to costly noth- ingness. Now it appears that a similar S overtaken the less-expensive job £ sinking a well at Fort Myer. The story of this latter failure was toll in Sarurday’s Star. It was a most amusing narrative, and doubtless provoked much laughter trem all who read it, save, of course, those who were responsible for the carelessness Which gave a clever rogue so much of op- pertunity. Secretary Lamont ougat to Warn his subordinates that in these times ot financial depression there is material in- crease in the number of contidence men. Unless something is done to educate the unsophisticated people whose names are in the Army register the War Department will soon become the favorite resort of “gents” who deal surreptitiously in green zoods and indulge in the mysterious selling of gold bricks. —— eo Protect the Workingmen. We are quite thoroughly governed in the District of Columbia. It is not an easy thing to swerve even a little from the nar- row path without stumblirg over or but- ting up against some sort of a law, ranging from a Charles II statute to a recent and half-baked police 2. But the sys- tem of protection and restraint has its weak places, and one of them ought soon to be strengthened. The Building Register very properly insists that we need her some such reg ing law whick New York tery ca all builders to lay either temporary permarent floors in all buildings while work of wall and roof construction on. In everyday practice such a law must save many lives; had it been opera- tive here while the new city post-office building has been going up the activities of the Emergency Hospital and the coroner would have been much decreased. Some of these long summer days, when business :s a trifle slack at the District Building, the Commissioners might take this matter up and give it careful consideration. That kind of a law ought to be wholly unap- jectionable. ation as the Gledhill build- is in force in the state of or the goes —__ + ee —___ If President Cleveland were to give nis ideas unrestrained expression he would probably say that so far as its intrinsic worth is concerned, all the silver dollar is fit for is to have a hole bored in it and be vsed for a sinker. * +e —__ The tricky contractor who constructed an imitation artesian well at Fort Myer can at least claim to have secured more angitle results than can be boasted by the constructors of the Lydecker tunnel. oe ‘The constant transfer of soldiers to Cuba must impose a great deal of extra labor or the Spanish census takers who are di: pesed to be at ail conscientious in their work —_> ee __. Senator rman’s reason for being a democrat appears to be that he is too well along in life to undertake to change his profession. 2 tee - phetic Figures. ain the statistician has been figuring the probabilities of politics under the new conditions and the shifting of party lines. The New York Herald has polled the counties of New York state, and, with fifteen yet to report, obtains g resuit that is closely like that figured out the other day by The Star on the basis of the Jour- nal’s test voie. The Herald has sent into each county for estimates of the probable drift of voters from their old party ties, snd the returns show on the foundation of the presidential vote of 1892 a net demo- cratic defection of 113,24, sufficient to turn the democratie plurality of 42,987 of 1892 into a republican plurality this year of 267. In all the counties reported from there were losses from both sides. That is inevitable when new lines of policy are drawn by platforms. In fourteen of the July 20, 1896. | forty-two counties returned these changes Produced net losses to the republican vote, while in twenty-eight counties net demo- cratic losses were indicated, including the two great centers of population in the State—New York and Kings counties. In the former county alone a net democratic loss of 64,000 is anticipated; enough to cut down the plurality in that region from 76,300 to 12,300. The republican losses as thus estimated range from 64 in one county to 700 in another, and are due, it is stated in the dispatches accompanying the compu- tation, to the general discontent that ex- ists among the farmers at the universal depression. A campaign of education will of course be promptly waged by the sound money men against the notion that free | coinage and the indorsement of populism will cure the business paralysis that is just now prevalent. The result of this showing, the first statistical calculation as to the status of the rural voter, is not at all dis- couraging to the sound money men, who will doubtless be pleased if no more serious labor of explanation and conversion is cut out for them among the farmers of In- diana, Illinois and the middle west. “Bloody Bridle: Waite of Colorado warmly indorses Bryan, because, he ex- plains, “I belfeve in his sincerity, and, fur- thermore, I believe in the sincerity and fidelity to populist principles of Altgeld and Pennoyer, who, with Bryan, domi- nated the Chicago convention.” This ts merely a sample of the annoyances and embarrassments which the democratic can- didate has to contend against. =~ —_—___..

For the second time in the history of this paper a political crisis has been’ precipi- tated upon the country, which transcends all normal party considerations, forbids the indulgence of all party sympathies, ana summons every commercial paper, every trade journal and every business man to the rescue of our threatened financial in- tegrity and commercial honor. It is a chal- lenge and a defiance to the commercial sanity of the country. It raises more than a party issue. It presents to every intelli- gent merchant and tradesman a tremendous public peril and a duty to be discharged with regard to it. —_ e+ __ A Well-Deserved Compliment. From the Burlington (Vt.) Free Press and Times. The announcement that Col. Myron M. Parker of Washington, D. has been made a member of the republican national com- mittee from the District of Columbia will please Vermonters everywhere. Col. Parker served through the war as a gallant soldier in the Ist Vermont Cavalry, and since the war, by his own industry, he has become a leading citizen of Washington. He has al- ways been a stanch republican, and will be an eflictent member of the committee—one whose judgment will have weight and whose counsel will be of value. ———_~++e An Old Ide: From the New York World. That enterprising contractor at Fort Myer who tapped a neighboring stream to supply tha well at the cavalry post with water and made a handsome profit by sup- plying the government with its own water was not criginal. He was merely applying on a modest scale the principle of the “end- less chain” by which the treasury gold re- serve has repeatedly been drained by means of greenbacks in order to have it re- plenished by means of bond sales.
