Editer. ‘ a — “= THE EVENING STAR hes a regular and permanent Family Circulation much morc than the combined eir- ‘ culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Mediom ft has mo-competitor. 7Im order to avoid delays, to amy individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or: Besiness Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. pee ee Senators Attacking the Speaker. ‘There are tors, it appears, who re- sent the inactivity of the House as a criti- cism of the Senate. Speaker Reed is sus- pected of the purpose of fixing attention upon the Senate, in the hope of forcing erly action on the tariff bill. He is like- wise referred to as the czar, and is ac- cused of exceeding his authority in the matter of withholding the House commit- tees. Would it not be very much better to stick strictly to the record, which covers both points? Mr. Reed himself may be quoted, and he is good authority. Congress was called to- xether to deal with the question of rev~ enue, and that only. General legislation was not in the President's mind, nor in the mind of the country. A new revenue Dill was needed and demanded, and the Prest- dent in his message asked for the prompt passage of such a measure. The House responaed, and that completed for its part the full purpose of the extra session. Ex- cept that it must remain and pass upon such amendments as the Senate might make to the bill, and moreover stood for- bidden under the Constitution from ad- journing for a longer period than three days without the consent of the Senate, the House might very well have adjourned sine die immediately after passing the tariff bill. So far as the Speaker's czarship is con- cerned, he has made it clear that in this, as in other matters, he is merely the organ of the House. A majority of that body could, any day, direct a full organization, and enter upon general business. But the majority sustains the Speaker. There fs rumor, it is true, of republican discontent, but this does not materialize. It, so far, has taken no more definite form than an unsigned address, which indirectly attacks the President, and directly suggests to the Speaker to make a bold bid for his party's presidential nomination in 1900. A toler- ably safe assumption is that that mere or less remarkable document will never be adorned with any signatures, nor its pre- cise sentiments adopted by any republican In debate. ‘This is the whole case. The House has completed its work, and by the voice of the majority is awaiting the necessary action of the Senate. Nobody is deprived of his rights. Nobody's sovereignty is ‘as- saulted. The country’s good should be the general purpose and desire, and everybody knows what the country is awaiting at the hands of Congress at this session. The country may be disappointed in this tariff bill, but that is another question. Like the youngster in the advertisement, who is bending over the bath tub and reaching for a cake of famous coap, it will never be happy until it gets it. ——_ + ——__ Good Rates Adopted. Much can be accomplished through a thorough enforcement of the new health ard buitding regulation just promulgated by the Commissioners. It is designed to protect the heath and lixes of those who live and work in crowded quarters and a good reason exists for every one of Its twelve previsions, The anti-slum move- ment in Washington has tegun to take definite shape and.to require considerable force. This new regulation is directly im the same line, preventing over-crowding, requiring sanitation and placing the tene- ments and werk shops more closely than before under the supervision 07 the buiid- ing inspector and the health officer. One of the most important features of the regulation is the paragraph prohibiting the vse of a building for any purpose to which it has not been lawfully put for at least thirty days prior to the promulgation of the rule unless it is located and constructed in accordance with the laws and regula- tions In force. The effect of this is to pre- vent such disasters as that which occurred in this city a few years ago. A building planned and formerly used as a warehouse was put into service as a factory, without the proper factlities for the care and safety of the employes. A fire destroyed the prop. and human life was sacrificed that perhaps would have been saved if the pres- ent regulation had been in force. —E The Championship Season. ‘The opening of the base ball season found usiasts of Washington in fine form. y have apparently lost none of their in the national game, and, al- thoush the home team was unfortunate in first zame of the year, the ardent “rooters are not dismayed and hope for better things later on. The present man- agers of the sport In Washington are to the be imented on their enterprise in ng the former standard and seek- cure even better results. They zive every evidence of appreciating the Patronage steadily extended to them. Washington is regarded as one of the best “base ball towns” in the country, and with a club that could be relied upon to win a majority of the games played it would become a leader in point of interest and attendance. But first-class players are few and in great demand, <o it is not al- ways possible to secure their services at point in the organization, even by the liberal expenditure of money. Habit, however, has made the local enthusiasts fairly complacent in the face of defeat and are reasonably content if the spart is every given a goed exposition here. The: bad ittart of yesterday may be taken as a gdod dihén. on the assumption that in base bal vit is the unexpected that happens. oe ———+e tot Tt would be a cruel revenge f% theSart- ists to exclude legislators who t-fed4a'sup press them from: the avenues of pubHetty the cartoonist controls. = 0 = ‘The news from Europe which arrived last night reads very much as if King George had got control of the telegraph lines. —_~eo—___ Emperor William’s Attitude. Each day's cables from the seat of war bring some fresh evidence of the sympathy the German Emperor feels for Turkey in the contest. Now it ts one thing and now another. Germany's note for Turkey was the loudest in the confab of the Powers. Then ca the appearance of a number of German officers within the Turkish lines. Next ceme the departure of the Greek am- hassador from Constantinople, when the German ambassador was the only absentee from the diplomatic corps of callers to say good-by. And. now comes the news of the “ppearance of German officers, dressed in German uniforms, assisting the Turks in the open field at the front. This makes no chapter of giory for the head of a great nation. Nor can it be viewed but with regret on this side of the water. Germany stands high in the ad- ministration and affection of the people of the United States. The German character, as revealed over here, is intimately asso- elated with @il-that makes for progress and the best civilization. Men of German birth and training were numerous im the Unian armies, and fought heroically for the coun- os : Noe a ne ee eee ee en eer ee : pS PL ROWELL fecha a ares al Se a ee And since the war they have every- where stood for the public credit and for good laws. Their votes in-any number have never. been -east- for .any: reactionary or visionary measures, but have always been enrolled on the side of advancement and security. This makes it strange, therefore, to see the influence of the German nation thrown in this broil abroad on the side of the detestable Turk. The only explanation offered is that the German Emperor fears the effect of a di- vision of the Turkish empire. As the map of Europe is now traced, he knows his bearings and feels his importance. Ger- many is a@ first-class power. But would it remain so if Turkey should disappear? Germany would have no strong claim to a division of the spoil. Russia, England, and Austria-Hungary, and France, indirectly. through her -alliance with Russie, would’ benefit, but Germany not at all. For this reason, it is alleged, the German Emperor is extremely anxtous that no change in the map shall take place. He wants Greece whipped, and would be glad openly to help do it. If this is the true explanation of the mat- ter, it but affords another good reason why the present situation in Europe should be radically changed. Not to Germany's dis- advartage, but in the general interests ot civilization. A concert of action which re- quires keeping the Turk in pay as a “bouncer,” for service when any protesting civilized nation grows aggressive in the in- terests of civilization, should be broken up. 2 The Anti-Spitting Order. The order of the Commissioners prohibit- ing persons from spitting in street cars, other public conveyances and all public buildings under the control of the District will go into effect in thirty days. The city has long needad such a wholesome regula- tion, made necessary by the growth of this filthy habit. The Metropolitan Railroad Company deserves credit for having af- forded the Commissioners an object-lesson of the need of the regulation. The con- ductors were instructed to request ali pas- sengers violating the rule against public expectoration, dictated by politeness and decency, to desist from ‘the practice. The Star willingly advocated this reform, urg- ing the Commissioners to give the railroad company’s regulation the force of law, and the order just signed is the gratifying re- sult. Enough has already ben printed to demonstrate the necessity of the rule from the stasdpoint of hygiene. The personal standard of cleanliness should be high enough to prohibit the habit from the mere ground of respectability. The transporta- tion compartes, however, take still another view of the matter, that of the preserva- tion of their property, which is often se- riously injured by the filthiness of passen- gers in this regard. The thirty days that must elapse before the regulation can take effect should suftice for all persons to be- come familiar with its requirements and for those addicted to {t to check the bad habit at which it ts directed. ia as King Humbert regards the recent at- tempt to assassinate him very philosoph- ically. it would perhaps be unreasonable for a man to expect to enjoy ali the per- quisites of a monarchy witout incurring some risks. i ——_~++ 2 ___ Either General Weyler's representations are far more convincing in Spanish than they are in English or ‘ets? the authorities at Madrid are very credulous. —_+ +e —____ The Sultan may discover that by de- grading an officer who. counselled a peace- ful settlement with Greece, he has put a Ppremfum on bad advice. © SSeS It will greatly annoy Turkey if Servia and Bulgarta insist on joining in the per- formance before their numbers on the pro- ‘ram are reached. ‘ a It is impressive to note that while Mr. Altgeld is relegated to comparative silence, the Supreme Court goes on rendering de- cisions as usual. ————_ > oe —___ Despite its respect for deliberation in most matters the Senate is in af proba- bility acquiting a strong aversion to Hnger- ing sweetness. ~~» 0 The Washington baséball club had a nar- row escape yesterday from what might have been a dangerous attack of over- confidence.

An Inconsistent Complainer. “It's tiresome,” he remarked cynically, “to see people getting so excited over a circus. It's the same old thing over aad ever again. “Maybe you haven't observed closely,” ventured his wife. “Humph! 1 guess I ought to know what I'm ta'king about. I've seen every one that ever came here since I was six years old.” "t understand why you dislike Her- bert so," said Mabel to her father. “I don't think he has any finance.” “I am sur> you wrong him.
