6 — THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. SATURDAY CROSBY S. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR hb: much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, Ictters to THE STAR shovold not be addressed to any fuaividual connected with the oftice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editortal or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Public Conduits Necded. The people of the District are concerned in the outcome of the contest between the two rivals for the job of lighting the streets electricity during the coming fiscal year only to the extent of hoping that good ser- vice will be rendered at a low cost, and that there will be no furtther disturbance of the street surfaces for the laying of conduits by private concerns. Incidentally, it is more than likely that a large major- of the citizens wish that out of the nt complication caused by the offer ff one company to enter the field of the ether and to do the werk for about 75 per cent less if permitted to use ‘ts rival's con- duits will come a dectsion on the part of Congress to provide at once for the instal- evion of the great municipal conduit sys- tem that kas been protnised from season sa cure for this annual trouble lights. The claim of the United States company that it has a legal right, about if granted the contract, to use certain ducts in the conduits of the Potomac com- pany, is a matter for the interpretation of the courts, and with it the citizens have nothing to do, except as it casts light upon the assertion repeatedly made that the ab- solute ownership of the conduits by the District is the only satisfactory solution of the everlasting problem. ‘he streets will never be safe from constant up-turn- ings as long as the lighting contract is a matter of annual contests, unless the work is to be given to one company as a monop- ely in return for the assurance aga‘nst such disturbances. It is undesirable and unbusiness-like that there should be two complete equipments of conduits. Far Let- ter would be the laying by the District of a singl tem, well planned and sub- stantially built, capacious enough to pro- vide for the expansion of the city and its needs, and available for all sorts of etec- tric conductors. Then the District could annually ask for bids from one, two or a dozen aspirants for the work of supplying the current, and in the light of the low bids just submitted by the United States company it is fair to presume that the District could obtain the service for much less than is now paid, besides receiving a rental, perhars, for the extra ducts in the public conduits. Many observers who do not agree that the city should do all the work of public illumination admit the economy of such a plan, which secures competition without annoyance. Spasmod- ic efforts have been made from time to time by Congress to reach a satisfactory settlement of this question through the ap- pointment of a commission of experts who should investigate into the whole subject. Whenever of late the question has caused friction in connection with the appropria- tion bills this suggestion has been resur- rected and waved like the olive branch to restore peace. It is time that it should be- come a fact instead of a mere promise, and with every prospect that a long and bitter controversy ts about to be opened between the rival companies it is more than sea- sonable that one or both of the District committees should move toward the con- of this plan. ——___ +02 A Movement Worthy of Success. The movement just sei on foot by the So- ty of Washington Artists to provide a permanent and suitable gallery for the ex- summation hibition of paintings and other works of art is on= that deserves not only the moral support of the public, but its active co- operation and liberal material aid. Such an exhibition room has lovg been needed in Washington, and its establishment will be a substantial advantage, not to artists alone, but to every one who is interested in ar? or who desires the improvement and eleva- tion of the public taste. The exhibition here of paintings by artists residing in Otuer cities will naturally stimulate our local artists to better efforts, through op-- portunities thus supplied for study ana comptrison and at the same time it wil. enable citizens generally to take more in- telligent and broader views of art—adequate facilities for which are now enjoyed only those who can afford the time and ex- involved in a visit to other cities exhibitions are open there. From point ef view, therefore, the move- ment deserves the success which The Star hopéfully bespeaks for It every The decision rendered Wednesday by the attorney for the District In the matter of the contagious hospitals practically insures the erection of those long-needed buildings. ‘The law in the case was not whoily clear, in view of the interference of two statutes, but it was plainly the fntention of Con- gress that the District should be no longer without suitable places for the care of per- sons suffering from such diseases as scarlet fever and diphtheria. The question of the location of the two buildings is of course yet In abeyance, and will probably not be settled until the new board of Commis- sioners has organized. It should not prove unusually difficult, under the present cir- cumstances, and it is to be hoped that no further obstacles to the establishment of these necessary institutions will countered be en- ee With all respect to the bravery of the Greek soldiers it may be suggested that Spain tried a change of generals in the Cuban campaign and with a conspicuous lack of success. —_++e—_____ Ex-Governor Altgeld has had trouble enough of his own, without assuming any of those of the departed Globe Savings Bank. ——_++2_____ Pase the Tariff Bill. Two points now under discussion in con- nection with the tariff bill are (1) how much time should be consumed by the democratic members of the finance com- mittee in examining the bill before a report fs made to the Senate; and (2) how long ehould debate in the Senate continue. With regard to the first point, it may be mentioned that the period for general de- bate after the bill is reported to the Senate is nothing but so much time devoted to an examination of the bill, and that, too, in its smallest details. The bill is read and debated by paragraphs, and each para- graph ts amendable. Any opposition sen- @ior, therefore, who desires information on any point, or desires to give information on zeny point, or to put the friends of the measure on record on any point, will have the fullest opportunity to do so. As to the length of the debate, on the @f the bill. The tariff question hag been se thoroughly discussed in both houses of (Congress and on the stump. for # full dozen made until next year, and then not upon the form the bill in incompleted state may bear now, but upon its form as a law and the result of a year’s administration e’ that law. But Senators desiring to speak now will need no time for preparation. The subject is so familiar to them in its general aspects that it could be fully dis- cussed in an off-hand speech at a moment's notice. The Star has no sympathy with the aver- age outcry against the Senate on the ques- tion of its procedure. That the rules of that body need some amendment in the direction cf expediting business is plain enough, and is conceded by many ex- perienced Senators themselves. But the Senate even then should remain a forum for full debate, and for the full and fair development and application of the minor- ity’s power. At the same time the coun- try’s impatience to see this tariff bill become a law and put into operation is natural and justified. All business interests —some of them vitally—are involved. Heavy importations, made with the view of escaping the new rates, are sending gold abroad again. This can be stopped by hurrying up the day for applying the new rates. The motto ought to be: Hours for legitimate debate, designed to strengthen the bill, but not a moment for claptrap or mere partisan advantage. ———___+-+ = —___ The Earth Girdled. ‘The Universal Postal Congress that is to meet in this clty next week is one of the surest signs that the earth is today prac- tically encircled by civilization. No higher epitome of the werid’s progress could be presented than this great gathering of rep- resentatives of all nations seeking to per- fect the already excellent plans for per- mitting the peoples of the earth to com- municate with each other. The advances that have been made in postal facilities during the past few years have been ex- ceeded only by the advances in sclence, which have themselves made possible the rapid transmission of intelligence. The de- velopment of steam power is the basis of this progression. With the railroad on land and the steamship on the seas, it has become possible to send a letter around the world in a space of time that a few years ago would have been regarded as utterly beyond human or physical limits. The postal union, however, reprisents more than the mere mechanical advances. It typifies the growth of that feeling known as the comity of nations, the logical ex- tension of which must lead to a condition of unbroken peace, which, however far away it may be in the actual probabilities, is yet to be desired and to be maintained as an ideal. Naturally, there is an ele- ment of selfishness in the make-up of this union, inspired by the desire for economy, but the very coming together in harmo- nious agreement on a business principle such as that which governs the carrying cf the mails is a step toward a higher In- ternational standard. The United States feels more than the usual interest in this enterprise, for the suggestion which led to the drafting of the original international treaty came from an officer of this govern- ment. This country bas had wide expe- rience in covering great distances, and the postal problems that have been solved by it nave given it an ample experience that warranted its taking the lead in such im- portant enterprises as the formation of an international postal union. Its capital city extends to the delegates about to assemble here a cordial greeting. ——————~++e—____ Reorganization of the Militia. While a practical test of the wisdom of the orders just issued by the commanding general of the District National Guard cannot be had until an occasion arises for the active employment of the militia, it would seem from the terms of the orders and the reasons assigned for them that they ought to operate for the general im- provement of the guard, for its increased efficiency in emergency and for the econ- omy of its management. They tend to place the Guard on a more business-like footing, while perhaps detracting from its appearance in parade. There are doubtless some individuals who feel that they have been hardly used, and in the case of dis- banded companies some dissatisfaction may exist, but personal interests should at all times be subordinated to the good of the whole organization, which ts intended as a defense against possible trouble in the future. Representative John B. Corliss made a queer argument against civil service at the Columbian Alumni banquet last night. He said that the university draws largely for students upon the departments, and after a while the clerks will all be old men and the supply will fail. The most ardent admirers of Columbian would hardly ask for the re- peal of the civil service law so that young men could be brought here to be educated, and it might occur to some that the effi- ciency of the departments was considerably inereased by the work of well seasoned terks made especially effective by univer- sity courses at the institution of which Washington is justly proud. —_++-—_____. It is to be feared that after what Mr. Tanner of Illinois has sald about New York's metropolis, the executive officials of those two states can never arrive at the historic relationship which once existed be- tween the governors of the two Carolinas. ———++e—____ It would be indeed a depressing blow to faith tn the sex if, following the example set in Chicago, the predatory lady-type- writer should become as conspicuous as the defaulting cashier has been. seo _____ One of the great hardships about sending Mr. Chapman the broker to jail is that he Would not be in a position to claim damages for the loss of his time, which is undoubted- ly valuable. ——++e—_____ It is to be hoped that the colored men in Texas who lynched members of their own race will not claim to be sufferers from the powerful influence of bad ex- amples. ———_~ «+ ___ It seems scarcely credible that with refer- ence to Hawail, Japan could be so base as to forget all the bouquets this country be- stowed upon her during her conflict with China. ——__+++__ It seems likely that by going to Crete, General Miles will find more suggestions as to how not to carry on a war than points to be copied. ——_+ « > ____. The Senate’s Rales. From the Boston Advertiser. ts if Senator Mason of Illinots hed deliber- ately decided to achieve popularity by a sirgle speech in the Senate chamber last week, he could hardly have chosen a better tepic for his maiden speech than the one which he actually selected. The Iliinois senator made his debut by entreating the Senate to modify its methods of procedure, 0 as to enable that body to transact busi- ress when a majority of its members so de- sired. In this plea he had behind him the unanimous sentiment of the American peo- ple. ————_22s—____. ‘The Only Two. PAGES. THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, MAY 1, 1897—24 THE WEEK. The tomb of General Ulysses 8. Grant was dedicated in Riverside Park, New York city; President McKinley, General Horace Porter and Mayor Strong made addresses at the tomb. Fifty persons were drowned by a sudden rise in the Cottonwood river at Guthrie, Okl., caused by a cloudburst. Fire at Newport News destroyed two piers of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad, three vessels and a tug boat, entailing a loss es- timated at $2,000,000. William J. Deboe was elected United States senator from Kentucky. The Burruss Bank at Nor- folk made an assignment, with Habili- thes of $340,000. Lieutenant George A. Cal- houn of the navy dropped dead in New York after leaving a reception in the Union League Club; other prominent deaths in- cluded Washington Gibbons, a Buffalo law- yer and politician; Dr. Traell Green, a distinguished scientist, at Easton, Pa.: ‘Theodore Havemeyer, vice president of the American Sugar Refining Company, and Cclorel Horace Jewett, 2ist Infantry. Foreign. The King of Greece asked for the resig- nation of M. Delyannis, the premier; a new cabinet was formed, with M. Deme- trius Ralli as premier. Greeks repulsed the Turks with heavy loss at Velestino, in Thessaly. Discontent prevailed and many threats against the throne were made in Athens on the arrtval of the news that Larissa had fallen and the Turks were in Thessaly. It was feared that a revolution might overturn the mcnarchy and sub- stitute a republic, but an appeal for order by the leader of the opposition to Premier Delyannis had a quieting ef- fect and the crisis was safely passed. Em- perer Francis Joseph of Austria arrived in St. Petersburg, Russia, and was the re- cipient of many honors. An explosion in the London underground railway wrecked @ first-class coach and maimed the occu- pants. Four wagon loads of dynamite ex- ploded at San Salvador, Central America, killing many persons ‘and causing two blocks of houses to fall. ‘The Queen Regent of Spain signed a decree providing for the application of the agreed-upon reforms for Cuba. Queen Victoria returned to England from the south of France. Forty-one per- sons were killed in a hail storm in Mexico. Lerd Salisbury gave a negative answer to the request of the United States for a re- inquiry into the Bering sea fisheries dis- pute. Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, British chancellor of the exchequer, read the bud- get in the house of commons, asking for £200,000 for increased garrisons in South Africa. Prince Louis William August of Baden, brother of the Grand Duke of Ba- den, died. In the District. The Senate District committee acted favorably on the nominations of Messrs. Ross and Wight to be District Commis- sioners, and decided to report the names to the Senate Monday. Bids were opened by the Commissioners for the public light- ing for the following fiscal year; a sensation Was caused by the submission by the United States Electric Lighting Company of ofters to supply are lights in the terri- tory now occupied by the Potomac C pany for much less than is now charged, provided the latter company’s conduit could be used. The Commissioners invited pro- posals for the street sweeping for vary periods of two, three and five years follow. ing July 1 next. The attorney for the Dis- trict decided that the provision in the re- cently passed appropriation bill for the erection of two cuntagious hospital buiid- ings repealed the previously enacted clausi prohibiting the erection of such buildings within three hundred feet of an already ex- isting building. A second fire occurred at the navy yard and aroused suspicions of incen- diarism. The citizens of Alexandria became alarmed over the fear that the negroes of that vicinity would try to avenge the lynch- ing of McCoy, and defensive patrols were formed; it was found that no ground for the fears existed. James Lewis, colored, was convicted at Fairfax Court House, Va., of a criminal assault on an aged German woman; the case was tried three times without intermission, two of the juries faii- ing to agree; Lewis was sentenced to be hanged June 4. Philip McEjhone was con: victed in the District court of removing Public documents from the Congressional Library. “Billy” Williams confessed to committing highway robbery and was sen- tenced to seven years in the penitentiary. James Pierce, a member of the police force, was arrested for burglary committed on his beat in Georgetown, being dismissed from the force and held for trial. Mrs. Dora E. Upsher, colored, was burned to death as a result of the explosion of a lamp. The dead body of August Merkel, white, was found in the river. —_+ += SHOOTING STARS. A Familiar Occurrence. “There are # the histories of all nation: said the earnest man, “crises when some few men must step forward and save their country from utter ruin.” ‘ replied Senator Sorghum, “that’s very true. I‘ happens once every four years with us, the next occasion of that kind being scheduled for 1900.” The Airship. Oh, let us all be thankful that our troubles now are o'er! The warship’s on the ocean aad the army's on the shore; The only way to find relief from these sur- roundings drear Is to take a trip and anchor in the upper atmosphere. The Pictures Frightened Him. “I want to get a good suit of clothes made to order,” he said to the tailor. “I never had a suit of clothes made to order, and my wife thinks it’s time that I put on a little style. “Certainly,” was the reply. “You can look over the stock and make your selec- tion. And here ts a picture showing the styles. You can make your choice from that, as to how you will have the suit made. The visitor gazed at the picture, and laying !t down with a sigh turned towards tne door. “You're not going, are you?" said the tailor. “Yes. I hate to disappoint my wife and to see you lose a customer. But I guess I'm happier as I am. I'm not vain, but if this sult of clothes is going to make me look like a stiff-kneed, wooden-elbowed graven image with glass eyes and a false musiache, I'm going to go without it.” A Modest Petition. Mr. Meekton’s wife had been unusually emphatic in asserting herself as the domi- nant influence in the household. When she came to a pause her husband inquired tim- idly: “Henrietta, wouldn't you like to have a nice new spring bonnet, or something of that kind?” “I suppose,” she replied indignantly, “that you mean to insinuate that I am one of these women who are won to amiability by elfts of wearing apparel?” “No, indeed! 1t was entirely a selfish suggestion, I assure you.” “I am to infer, then, that my appearance does not please you?’ “Not at all. Every man has his little vanities, and I do not hesitate to confess Tey own. I did not intend any reflection of ary kind. I simply thought I'd like to have you go and order a bonnet or a dress or something, because it would make me feel so kind of important to pay the bill.” An Analogy.
