NOYES THE EVENING STAR has a regular ment Family Circulation combined cir- a per much more than eulation of the dailies. As a Medium it has mo competitor. t7In order t aveid deliays, om ac- 2 absence, letters to a mot be nddressed to any individual connected with the ice, but simply to THE STAR, or to or Business Depart- The Object of the Session. The Senate finance committee has nearly completed its revision of the Dingley bill, and, presumably, when the bill is reported back to the Senate the way will at once be cleared for its consideration and passage. That the final vote should be taken at as early a day as possible is demanded by every corsideration of business and good politics. In the first place, this extra session was called for no other purpose but to revise the tariff, in the interests of more and much needed revenue, and of systematic protection. The President's message was clear and to the point, and the House re- sponded promptly. The Senate has but to follow suit, and the full object of the ses- sion stands accomplished. In the second piace, business must neces- sarily remain somewhat unsettled until the tariff bill becomes law. This operates both’ against private interests and against pub- lic interests. Business men are anxious to know th= new rates of duty, and the gov- ernment stands daily in need of increased revenue. Only the importers—the agents of foreign manufacturers—can benefit by delay in the matter. Regardless of the retroactive clause in the bill, they are likely to proceed with their business at in- creased speed, and fill their warehouses with foreign-made goods, which they will try to have released at the old rates. But the finai passage of the bill, whether the retroactive clause holds good or not, will from that day hold the honie market for home goods at the new rates fixed. The contention that Congress should ad- dress itself at this time to other subjects is not well founded. No financial legisla- tion is possible at this session, and as for the other questions that are mentioned they car very well wait. None is new. and ali of them together would never have in- duced the President to call Congress m extra session to consider them. There is a division cf opinion about the bankruptcy Dili; some spotlsman may desire an oppor- tunity to raid the civil service law, but they cuuld not hope to succeed; the debts of the Pacific railroads, while important, could not, if taken up, be adjusted in a day. Why, then, should’ any of those questions, or all of them put together, come in now as against the one overshad- owing, all-important question upon which ge of the tariff bill by the mid- dle of June, or earlier, would be a most worthy fulfillment of the President's pur- pose in calling Congress together. ———_+ += Rexponsibility of the Powers. The news from the seat of war will for some days be conflicting, and in some measure unintelligible at this distance. Claims and counter claims will have to be weighed, and the difference noted between what has heretofore appeared on paper and what is now appearing as an actuality in the opeu field. Neither side has taken its Own measure accurately as yet, nor the Measure of the other side. The Turk ts stronger in numbers, but will the mere matter of numbers prevail? The Greek has the just cause and a fine spirit, but will his enthusiasm sustain him? But, at jast, the greater question relates to the attitude of the great Powers. How long will they permit the fighting to go on? They could command the peace tomorrow, and enforce their command. The war is theirs. They are distinctly responsible for it. By giving the Turk his orders in Crete, and rescuing the civilized people there from oppression, they could have prevented the firing of a single gun. But this they would not do. The Turk was permitted to pro- ceed with his atrocities unili Greece forced the matter on the attention of the worid. Have the Powers “got it in” for Greece because of this? Would they be glad to see the Turk advance to the very limits of Athens itself? ‘The danger of Greece in the larger mat- ter involved ies in her very piuck and charscter. She is the only power from whom the great Powers have anything to dread as a disturbing factor in their policy of preserving the Turkish empire as a buffer in the Eastern game. England, Rus- sia, France, and particularly Germany, prefer that there should be no change in the map of Europe at this time. The op- pressions and even the massacres of Chris- tian subjects of the Sultan they compla- cently endure for the benefit of their scheme of present territorial divisions. Copying the philosophy of Artemus Ward, they are willing to offer up the entire Christian population of the Turkish empire in the interests of using the empire as now constituted for their own selfish purposes. Greece objecis, and takes the field against the whole heartiess outfit. If Greece is overborne in this struggie there will be no- bodyJeft to raise the issue. But if the war is protracted—if Greece sustain herself for any time in the a fire may be opened in the rear of Powers which may have an effect. the This canger would be great in England, for the indications are that the peopie there do not approve of the atiiiude of Lord Salisbury’s government. —+ 02 ‘The Empevor of Germany and the Czar of Russia are steadily strengthening the impression that it .s a mistake for a young man to confine his attention too closely to business whea assistance can be so easily employed. — +o Mr. Debs’ plan for improving the condi- tion of workirg men looks very much like @ plan to keep from being recired to private life. ——_—___ e+ ___ — Patr One feature of the present distribution of the patronage worthy of particular mention is that no complaints of bad faith or of repudiated promises are heard. Nobody has yet appeared witm a grievance of that kind. The wish is heard that the President would be a Httle more expeditious, but that is all. ‘This is by no means usual, National campaigns Involve a great deal, and more than once in recent years hot controversies have grown out of combinations that had keen made to insure success. The last campaign was a difficult one. Divisions eccurred in both of the old parties, and it required some skillful handling of forces to effect results. A great many charges were made in the heat of the canvass. Mr. Hanna was accused of trading on ail sides, and of pledging his chief three times over for every place his chief if elected would have to bestow. Bverything. so far, has gone to refute those accusations. The President has shown himself to be under nobody’s dominion in making appointments. He has listened to & great deal of counsel from many sources, but has been at liberty to decide for him- self, and where there have been spirited contests seems to have done so. He has taken no pains to please the men who are called bosses. Mr. Platt is at the head of the most powerful state machine fn the country, and yet the President has felt called upon to disregard Mr. Platt’s wishes about several important appointments. He has done this, it 1s. true,.in an amiable way, but it was a thing he could not have done at all had he been, as charged, a “mort- geged” man. This feature of the situation at the White House is very properly the subject of much complimentary comment. It is but natural for mer to appraise thelr own usefulness te the republican ticket last year at a high figure, and te press for a reward at that figure. It is Itkewise natural for them to be anxious for as early action on their applications as possible. There will of course be many disappointments. There have already been some. But the President is not accused of trifling with applicants, or of showing indifference to his friends. There are no tales told about repudiated campaign paper, or of men spurred into activity by promises which plainly now cannot be kept. It is the opinion that, even if a little slow, it is a square deal the peopie are getting at the White House. ———++2—___ The Police » Returns. Though the final returns from the police census do not indicate as great an increase in the population of the District as was expected and hoped for, there has yet been a comfortable advance, and the 300,000 mark is. even now a fair possibility for 1200, when the government undertakes the enumeration. In two years and three months there has been an increase of 6,- 964 people, bringing the total up to 277,- 483. Of course, this rate of advance would not suffice to put the population up to the desired point when the national census is taken, but there are indications on every hand of such a return of prosperity to all lir.es of business in the District as cannot fail, if maintained, to attract hither large numbers of desirable citizens. Already the building enterprises planned and inaugura- ted promise to give employment this sea- son to hundreds and probably thousands of wcrkmen, and this will tend to draw back to the city many former residents who may have gone elsewhere to seek work. But Washington's best sort of growth Is steady and does not depend upon such considera- tions. It consists largely in accessions to the ranks of home builders, people of wealth and position who, seeking for a convenient and agreeable place of resi- Gence, can find no city possessing such a combination of attract‘ons as this. Some interesting deductions may be posst- ble from the tabulated returns by blocks ard sections, indicating, perhaps, the mi- gratory movements from one neigaburhood to another. The change in precinct bound- aries since the last police enumeration pre- vents such comparisons at present. Mayer Bros. & Co., 987-080 F ST. 11 Foubourg Poissonnterre,, Paris.
