December 5, 1896. = YHE EVENING STAR has « regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than three times as large that of any other paper, morning in Wash: As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. “Gym order to avoid delays, ac- bsence, letters to STAR should not be addressed THE &£o any individual connected with the Gfiice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editort: ments, according to tenor or purpose. or Business Depart- ‘ The Dingley Bil. | "The Dingley bill is so prominent in all discussion of the legislative problem that the circumstances surrounding its origin are being recalled. When the present Congress assembled last December the most important work expected of it was a new tariff bill. The republicans had twice carried the country by overwhelming majorities against the Wilson bill, and now, with the House com- pletely in thelr hands, they were expected to bring forward a measure in thorough revision of that bill on consistent protec- tion lines. The ways and means commit- tee was organized with that object in view. In its majority personnel it was entirely acceptable to the protection sentiment of the country, and business interests likely to be affected by the work began arrange- ments for submitting data for the com- mittee’s information and reference. Con- cern on the subject was widespread, for, although the new bill might not pass the Senate, where a clear republican majority Was not to be counted, the fact of its hav- ing received the indorsement of the House would make it the republican basis of the approaching campaign for the presidency. Like a clap of thunder out of a clear skye came the President's Venezuelan message, and, still further to change the order of things, his confession in a few days after- ward that financial legislation was neces- -Sary. The country received the message with enthusiasm, and, of course, the House did. It was precisely in line with what re- publican leaders had advocating. As for the President's request for legislation, the House put its own in- terpretation on that. He would not confess that the government needed more money for running expenses, but the House knew such to be the fi ingly. The Dingley for some time been . and, so, acted®accord- bill, designated as a deticiency bill, and prepared with that end in was brought through in short order. Here was a sudden and complete change of the whole republican program. The ex- pected revision of the Wilson Dill was abandoned. Work which it had been ex- pected would require several months was performed in little more than that many days. Of tariff legislation proper there to be none at all at that session. There was no complaint on any side, because in providing thus promptly for the Treasury deficit the House had acted wisely. It w: accepted as the first step toward putting things in shape in case England showea her teeth about the message. In a shore time the war talk died out, and when the Dingley bill reached the Senate the silver men on both sides of the chamber formea 2 combination and blocked the way. Arguing from this unaisputed bit of his- tory, the more vigorous champions of pro- tection now insist that the Dingley bill be permitted to die on the Senate calendar, ere its opponents have piaced it. It was an emergency measure, drafted with regard both to the Venezuelan war talk and to the deficit in the Treasury createa by the Wiison bill. The war talk has en- tirely subsided. The deficit, It is true, still exists, and, of course, is much larger now. It ought to be provided for. But, as the view, forward and put protectionists insist, let it be provided for in the proper wa: Let this next House, in special session, do what the present House would have done if the President had not closed with England at the time he did, and in the way he did—prepare a tariff bill revising the Wilson bill, and with the double end in view of providing avenue enough for the support of the government and of affording adequate and logical and equitably-distributed protection to Ameri- can industries and American labor. ——++e—____ Yesterday's Homicide. ‘ording to the facts as they now ap- pear the policeman who yesterday took life in self defense while in Hne of duty was justifiable and is entitled to exoneration. The death of Shears probably prevented and there is no esti- mating the bad effects in stimulating de- fiance of the law and in reducing the active efficiency of the police force that the mur- der of a policeman entails, evew though the extreme punishment be given eventually to the offender. The use of deadly weapons by policemen is always to be carcfully guarded. The Star has on many occasions pointed out the danger of undue license being given to the wearers of badges in this regard, and when unnect ry killings or attempts to kill by officers of the law bave occurred they have been promptly con- Gemned. But yesterday's case according to the facts now at hand presents no apparent reason for protest against the policeman’s act on the part of anybody. ————_+ e + ___ The selection of the relief committee by the Commissioners directly, in addition to securing immediate action, permitted a wider range of choice in constituting its membership than if the origiral idea of a special committee appointed by the Presi- dent of the Board of Trade, by authority of the Board, had been carried out. In the latter case the relief committee, when finally appointed, would have been a special committee of the Board of Trade, limited in its make-up to members of the Board; and the ladies who have heen so active in charitable relief and other citizens whose services in this connection would be most valuable, but who are not members of the Board, would have been thereby excluded from this work. ——>+oe—____ Mr. Bayard may have some unexpressed onjecticn to those words, “sans peur et sens reproche.” They’re not English. —r+e—___ Fitzsimmons is known as “the kanga- roo” of pugilism. Sharkey is under sus- Picton of being the opossum. ——___~--___ Cuba and American Health. When the cause of Cuba is pressed upon the very few men in office in this country who sympathize with Spain, one fllmsy rea- son or another is offered by them for their attitude. They pretend to believe that the granting of belligerent rights to the Cubans by the United States vould do the Cubans no good, but would result in serious trouble for this government in the matter of Spanish claims for damages, which they assert would grow out of that changed relation of this govern- ment toward the insurgents. They do not reason this out, but stand upon it in justi- fying the action of tha President in ignor- ing the resolutions of Congress. In the matter of acknowledging the {n- dependence of Cuba, these men practically demand that before such a step is taken the Cubans shall, unaided, drive the Span- iards off the island, head the Spanish fleet Zor home, and possess themselves of every foot of land the Island contains. In other words, if the Cubans will go to work, with- cui @® word of outside official recognition EE II TA TET IR ae EL IN DS kD aR Le or sympethy, and set up a government of their own, which shall‘ have no semblance of opposition on the island or anywhere else, and forward @ sworn statement of their success to this government, no fur- ther opposition here shall be interposed to recognizing them. This 1s gracious, of coyrse, but slightly unreasonable. But if these men cannot be reached on the score of patriot sentiment, how do they stand on the question of self-preservation? What have they to say to the right of this government to interpose to abate a pest- hole at its very doors? If they can be stirred at all, it is probably by such a con- sideration, and The Star, with that object in view, calls their attention to an inter- view which appeared in its columns yester- day with Senor Vento, a longtime, resident of Havana now visiting in this country. Senor Vento gives an appalling account. of the ravages of smallpox and yellow tever among the Spanish forces on the island, and states that hospital room is so greatly iu demand in Havana, the sugar ware- houses at Regia, « town acrass the bay, are being utilized for the caring for the sick. From under the same roofs cargoes of sugar are shipped, and in this way both smallpox and yellow fever may be widely distributed. Should such a State of affairs be tolerated by this government? Shall Spain be per- mitted to continue its buteher and pest- hole policy practically under the protection of the United States, and at the peril of the health of the people of the United States? Men without sentiment sometimes have health, and usually are very careful of it. What say such men to this latest phase of the Cuban situation? ——_“~rro Mr. Dingley. Mr. Dingley’s visit to Canton may mean one or the other of two things, or both of those things. It was made at Mr. McKin- ley’s invitation, and therefore its import- arce is beyond question. Mr. McKinley naturally wants light on the congressional outlook for the winter. Mr..Dingley is well prepared to shed that light. He is the leader of the House, and one of the best-informed men in it. He is in the fullest confidence of the Speaker. The majority is very much guided by him. His suggestions for the session will have all the greater weight because of this visit. The presumption will be that he is in- structed as to the views and wishes of the new chief, and is moving to forward them. Mr. McKinley wants an able man of ex- perience for the Treasury Department. Mr. Dingley’s name has been mentioned in th speculation on the subject. His friends be- lieve that he would fill the office admirab’ He Ss an old acquaintance of Mr. Mekin- y. but the two men have not been thrown vegether since the latter left Congress, now SIX years ago. Since then the passage ot the Wilson tariff bill, and the resulting bond sales by Mr. Cleveland for the pur- pese of meeting the running expenses oi the government, have greatly complicatec both the economic and the financial ques- uons. Mr. Dingiey’s views on those points would be welcome anywhere, and they were probably given by request to Mr. McKinley. From these facts the deductions from the visit are made. Mr. McKiniey may ony have asked for an opinion as to the con- sressional outlook for the winter. Or, whac seems to be more probable, he may have sone into the situation in general. Mr. vingley, as the result, may merely, as seader of the House, shape things to suit the incoming ‘new order. Or he may du that much as prospective Secretary of the treasury. The only suggestion offered against the appointment of Mr. Dingley to the Treasury wepartment is based upon his residence in the extreme east. Some of the republican seaders fear that it might not prove strong in the middle states, or in the west, be- cause of that fact. Maine is no nearer tu Wall street than is Ohio. Neither state 1s sominated by Wall street influences. Both, sn the last election, voted for sound money, siaine going first and giving to the Ohio man’s candidacy a tremendous boom. But all is speculation as yet. The only thing certain at this time is that if Mr. vingley remains in Congress he will again pe the leader of the House, and a very valuable assistant there in the carrying out of his party's policy. ——___ ++ —___ A New Department Building. Secretary Francis will have the best wishes of all Washington in his effort to secure an appropriation this winter for a new Interior Department building, for the citizens of the capital have shared in the inconvenience and have realized the nation- al impropriety of crowding important gov- ernmental bureaus into inadequate quarters and hiring inappropriate outside structures. The item of rent is annually growing heavier and becoming a more powerfu! argument with Congress in behalf of a new public building. Then, too, the safety of invaluable documents that are in con- stant danger of destruction and yet must be kept within reach is now an item of prime importance in considering plans for an enlargement of the department's offices to keep pace with the development of its functions. Assuming that Congress will admit the necessity of a new building and will grant the Secretary's requisition, at- tention must be seriously given to the matter of a site. The suggestion has already been made that such a structure as the department now demands should cecupy two entire blocks, thus necessitating the closing of a street, and to minimize the consequent public inconvenience it is pro- posed to lovate the contemplated structure immediately north of the present one. This would accomplish the object mentioned, but it would run counter to the wise recom- mendation of Secretary Lamont that all public buildings hereafter erected should be located on the south side of Pennsyl- Vania avenue, following the example set in the establishment of the new city post cifice and greatly improving the appear- ance of the naiion’s finest thoroughfare. —__ ++ Auditor Petty’s recommendation looking to the release of the District from certain embarrassing obligations is sufficiently well fortified by facts and statistics to warrant its receiving the closest attention by the District committees in Congress this winter. The reasons for complying with the auditor's second recommendation that the law be repealed requiring that all public works exceeding a thousand dollars in cost shall be done by contract are so fresh in the public mind that they need only a suggestion at this time. A more ef- fective form of legislation, however, than the mere repeal of the law in question would seem to be the passage of an act specifically granting to the Commissioners the right to do all forms of public work by day’s labor. ——_«e Even the people who sneer at the state of Kaneas cannot deny that she has pro- Guced some brainy people. The trouble” seems to be that she does not know what to do with them. Properly edited, Kansas might be one of the most brilliant siates in the Union. ——_++2___ The question as to whether wine will be served in the White House during the com- irg administration is aot accompanied by any doubts that the Senate restaurant will be doing business at the old stand. — >r+e—____ There is a growing disposition to insin- uate that Referee Earp should give less attention to the Marquis of Queensberry’s rules and devote some time to the Ten Commandments, ————~1] Experience ts always expensive.
