THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permancnt Famfly Circulation mach more t m the combined cir- culation of the other Washington da s.

When Congress at the special session dis- posed of the tariff question it seemed alto- gether likely thai the regular session, be- ginning in December, would be brief. The appropriation bills, it was thought, would take up the greater part of the time and adjournment would follow their passage. The outlook now is for a session not only ef the usual length but of more than the usual interest. Questions of very great importance, it is now seen, will be pre- sented and in some form are likely to be disposed of. () The Hawaiian question. That is a simple questicn, and ought not to lead to any delay. The Sugar Trust program of opposilion, however, nas not been outlined, and until it is the friends of annexation will not be able to complete their program. Annexation ts certain, but if ious oppo- sitien to the treaty necessitates employing legislative means, more time will be re- quired, though the matter will be settled in some way before ihe session ends. ) Cuba. present the Cuban question is an executive question. But no one can tell what a day or month may bring forth. By the time Congress meets the cause of re again become an onal circles. The general hope is that before that time Spain will awake to the necessliy ef adopting a far wiser and more just course than she has up to this time been pursuing. The curre Congress will at least S that questicn. The monetary com- mission will be heard from, and its report, together with what the President in his messaxe and the Secreiary of the Treasury in his annual report may have to say on the sub; i afford a text for an im- portant congressional debate, even if no action follow: ( International Bimetalism. The Wol- cett commission will have returned, and may be expected to submit through the President @ report of its labors. That also is likely to lead to a debate of some length and interest and particularly if Great Brit- ain’s attitude, soon now to be announced, encourages the. galling of an international disev %) Immigration. Mr. Cleveland's veto of the bill restricting. immigration passed by the Fifty-fourth Congréss rather inereased than diminished interest In that subject. It will be brought up again. (6) “Government by injunction.” Con- &ress will be asked to consider that ques- tion Upon the whele, therefore, disposing of the tariff question at the extra session was a wise piece of work. Congress at the regular session will have its hands full. —— e-_ Poor Gas. The Waskington Gas Light Company is not an eleemosynary institution. It was organized and is now run to make money for its stockholders, and it uses every agency at hand to increase the margin be- tween output and income. Congress has shown a disposition to check this tendency by lowering the rates at which it is law- ful for the company to sell gas to con- sumevs, and at the same time it took what scemed to be ample precaution to prevent any undue decrease in the expense account hould off-set the lower incofne and result in the sale of poor gas. But it is plain from the complaints now being heard on every hi culminating in protests have caused The Star to investigate atter, that the company has found a to evade or ignore the requirements of the law with regard to the quality of the iMuminant supplied. It is certain that the gas has for some time been bad, so bad that interior decorations have been injured and in some cases destroyed, while the eye-sight of the gas-users has been seriously affected. Those who could afford to do so have been forced to light three burners to @o the work that should be well done by one, if the Congressional standard of illum- inating power is maintained; while those whose means compe! them to restrict their gas bills are cbliged to get along as best they can with the feeble flickers of the single jet that ought to do the work with- out imposing a harmful strain upon the eyes. The company now comes forth with learned explanations of the reasons why the gas smokes the walls instead of giving Nght. These reasons are set forth with greater or less clearness in the interviews with the officials of the company printed eisewhere today, but they are not such as to carry conviction to many consumers. The fact remains that the gas is not doing what It should do as a satisfactory illum- inant, and it is somebody's business to dis- cover why this is so and to apply the pen- alties the law provides to ensure obedience te its requirements. ———_~> ee —_____ Much in Little. The following brief but significant para- sraph appears in the latest issue of “Pub- ite Health Reports,” the official builetin of tke. marine hospital service, in the course of the weekly report from the surgeon sta- tioned at Havana: “Yellow fever—The deaths from this dis- ease are increasing, and of 2 sccurring in the city 19 were among the soldiers and 4 among civilians.” The practical quarantine established by Spain against the United States on account of the yellow fever in the gulf states has not yet been lifted. The islands are offi- ctally declared to be pacific and there is no alarm in Spain over the sanitary condition of this once beautiful province. Minister Woodford might secure some telling argu- ments from this little publication, copies ef which would doubtless be freely fur- nished by the Secretary of the Treasury for distribution among the members of the new Spanish ministry. There is as much real information about the state of affairs in Cuba in the single sentence quoted above as in a volume of reports from consuls, gen- erals and governors. —_+>ee—____ Possibly after a few more cases of purse snatching have occurred here, the ladies of Washington will conclude that it is about time to give up the habit of carry- ing their pocketbooks in their hands, or otherwise exposing them while walking on the streets. that ——-> o- > —___ Jersey's Verdict Against Gambling. New Jersey has redeemed herself, after all. It was at first thought that the whole- some anti-gambiing amendment to the Siaie constitution, which was voted upon by the people the other day, had been de- feated, largely throvgh the lassitude of its advocates. But later returns indicate that the amendment, from which much permanent benefit to the state is expected, was ratified by a very small margin, less than a thousand votes. This is reassuring news. New Jersey was at one time fairly well within the clutches of the race track gamblers. It was once almost owned by this fraternity, the legislature beinz con- Sgolled by the men who ran the disreput- sense pes cnet terest eer srr Feet pamela erssseehsesesin ieee SIseainI Inc RSSRSROREE NET able tracks at Gloucester and Monmouth. The license given to the race-track in- dustry encouraged other forms of gambling on a broad scale, and it was only of late that the decent element in the state-- always in the majority, but not always militant enough to produce results for good—became sufficiently aroused to over- turn the demoralizing agencies and sub- stitute good government at the state cap!- tal and in some of the counties. This ac- tion at the polls sufficed for a time, but the gamblers were not wholly crushed, for they began a campaign to secure new priv- ileges nd to head them off finally an amendment was proposed to the state con- stitution, which, though it savored of the act of incorporating legislation into that instrument, was regarded by the “law and order” elements as the only effective method of disposing permanently of the evil. The matter was taken up with ardor by the preachers, and for many months the state has rung with campaign sermons, with gambling and the amendment as texts. When election day came the first returns indicated that the supporters cf the amendment had been negligent, and :t was disclosed that in the parishes whcre the agitation was at times the hottest there were ridiculously few votes cast for the amendment. The gamblers had carried en a sly, clever campaign and came within an ace of defeating the project. All's well, however, that ends well. Help the Car Horses. The patrors of the horse cars tempo- rarily in service on the Capital Traction lines should cheerfully comply with the request of the president of that company to observe the old rules governing the places for stopping the cars. The pavement between the t-acks is not now what it was before the cable service was installed on these lines, and “he horses have the great- est difficulty in getting a secure foothold. It is pitiful to see the animals struggle with loaded cars behind them to get a start, es- pecially on the grades, where even with the aid of hill horses the ascents are ac- complished with great difficulty. A com- mendable degreesof patience has thus far been exercised by the public in accepting the crude conditions of the service forced upon the company and the community by the fire, and it ts to be expected that at the mere suggestion the people will be as thoughtful ‘for the horses as they are for the management of the road. It is, of course, a convenience occasionally to have the cars stop exactly at one’s destination, but the riding public has lacked that con- venience now for several years, and it 1s a trifle unreasonable on the part of the patrons to expect that they are to get this privilege back in return for their tolerance with the horse car service. The Humane Society may have a voice in the matter that will Gemaad a hearing. As long as the rail- road compary is giving the most satisfac- tory evidence ofa purpose to re-equip the read as rapidly as possible with the best available system of rapid transit its patrons should at least show their appreciation of the energy displayed by acceding to this very reasonable request. —~++2e—____ A Chance for Collector Parlett. ‘The new collector of internal revenue for the district including the District of Co-4 lumbia, has an admirable opportunity to add to the steadily accumuiating proof that the McKinley administration is a busingss administration by vigorously com- pelling the observance in the territory un- der his control of the laws and regulations gcverning the sale of oleomargarine. The Supreme Court of the United States has Gecided that the regulations issued by the treasury defining the manner in which traffic in oleomargarine fs to be carried on are binding, and have the same effect as United States statutes. The undeniadle fact remains, however, that these regula- Ucns are flagrantly violated day in and day out in Washington and in its most con- spicuous marts—the public markets. The local branch of the internai revenue bu- reau has shown little interest in the sup- Pression of these violations. The public is be‘ng and has been for years past, dis- honestly imposed on by being deluded in paying butter prices for what has been represented as butter, when in reality the article given to customers was the cheap stuff known under the generic term of oleomargarine. If Mr. Parlett will appoint his local depu- ties in Washington with the view solely of sesecting men who will faithfully attend to the duties which they are sworn to per- fcrm, the constant and ever-increasing fraud practiced in the illegal sale of oleo- murgarine will be no longer possible. ——>e+o—____ A Grave International Question. The London Times has evidently “got its wires crossed,” to use an Americanism tkat would doubtless clinch the British be- lief that the people on this side of the water do not know how to use the lan- guage properly. The “Thunderer” is, as a rule, particular as to the quality of its English Its position as the regulator of the English nation, and hence of the whole world, wi!l admit of no less a stand- ard than that of perfect purity of diction, and it is therefore somewhat perplexing to find in the columns of (Hat ponderous organ of ministries the following gem of thought with reference to the plans of the Wolcott international currency commis- sion: “The core of the whole subject is the qvestion whether bimetalism is wise or foolish. The United States and France es. On behalf of Great Britain it is decided to say no.” There is enough of the Hibernian bull about this fragment to suggest that some- body in the Times office is having a quiet little joke all to himself. But if the Times’ Irish editor is not now doing duty as the handler of the financial question it is clear that Lord Salisbury will be obliged to rise at the next session of parliament and ex- plain what is meant by this most ingenious conundrum. Resolved to fts last analysis it puts the case thus: “Is bimetalism wise or foolish? It is.” ——_++e—____ The only thing that the expert witnesses in the long drawn-out Leutgert murder trial in Chicago have been able to prove is that expert testimony isn’t worth any- thing. ———_++e—___ A strange silence on the part of both leads to a suspicion that the Princess Chimay and the sultan have each other mutually terrorized. —_—_-+0-» ____ What Spain desires in General Weyler’s place fs a man who will give a six months’ guarantee with each pacification. —_+ ¢« If New York does not secure a good mayor it will not be for lack of a variety of material from which to select. —____ + e | ___—_.

These feathered pests derive most of tenance from the street refuse and when that source of supply is shut off are prone to go elsewhere for Chicago has awakened in the matter ef the cleanliness streets, a woman having recently ziven authority there to go ahead with own methods of infusing vigor into the 3 partment and good results are already re-. ported. This has even now occasioned a decrease in the number of the sparrows fre- quenting the thoroughfares, and the Chica- goans are now hoping that they will soon be rid of both the dirt and the birds togeth- er. Washington has just begun an experi- ment with hand cleaning and the streets are in better condition than ever. If in addition to the greater neatness that seems sure to become a permanent feature of the capital it*can rid itself of the pestiferous twitterers that make relentless war upon the real song birds of this climate, Washing- ton will be doubly thankful for the change. The sparrows were originally brought here to exterminate the canker worm, the ap- ple tree’s worst enemy. The canker worm succumbed to the sparrow but soon the lat- ter was a worse nuisance than the worm. In somewhat the same degree Australia tried a cure for a trouble that was in a measure as bad as the disease. Rabbits have over-run that country for years and of late have become so thick as to be a menace to property. The mongoose was introduced to kill off the rabbits, which was done, and then it-was found that the mongoose was becoming about as threat- ening as the rabbit ever was. So it goes: In this stage of civilization man is ever jumping from the frying pan into the fire. But the latest remedy for the sparrow, clean streets, bears no accompanying ills, and it is a cure that should be welcomed by any community that has been infested by the Eritish prize fighter in feathers. ————___~ +2 __ The admirers of a “square” political fight ean not fail to enjoy the four cornered condition of the contest in New York. ———— Dorsey Foultz has dem8nstrated that it is not necessary for a man to go to the north pole in order to get lost. ———_++2e—____ When the experts get through with one another, they will doubtless attend to Luet- gert’s case. —__~+e___ The career of Wellington might furnish a few suggestions on the subject of rapid transit. ———~>e+o—____ Senator Jones insists that the Chicago platform is not of “slow-burning” construc- tion, ——_- > __ Yellow Jack is about stamped out, but ‘the pestilential Luetgert sensation lingers.

Keeping Up a Reputation. “Did you ever see a bull fight?” inquired the wife of the man who tries to make her believe he knows everything. “Just had one,” was the complacent reply. “Where?” “At the stock exchange. I was on the bear side of the market.” A Lost Opportunity. “It's too bad that artists aren't more practical,” remarked a Boston man. “Do you think they could make more money?” “I'm sure of it. Look at the man who made the Bacchante. If he had put base ball clothes on it, his fortune would now be assured.” Warmed Over. “There's nothing in a name,” quoth he, With all a cynic’s scorning; “What we call ‘dinner’ now will be A ‘breakfast’ in the morning.” Something to Learn, _ As Mr. Ruffedge sat down after having elbowed his way back from a between-acts trip, he happened to see some Japanese students sittirg farther im -front. “A great many Japanese come over to this country to get civilized, don’t they?” he remarked. “I suppose it takes them a good while to get used to our ways.” “I suppose 60,” replied Miss Cayenne. “And I don’t think those young men have been here very long.” “Why?” “I haven't seen one of them climbing over the people between him and the aisle every time the curtain went down.” Good Times.

From the St. Louis Republic. J. Pierpont Morgan's efforts to get con- trol of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad is attracting the attention of the political as well as the financial world. In this scheme Mr. Morgan represents not alone his own interests but also the interests of English bondholders, or such allied prop- erties in this country as are held in the name of the Vanderbilts. In this vast ag- gregation of properties, representing a cap- italization that runs into incomprehensible millions of money and a mileage of over 23,000 miles, there are included® all import- ant railroads running between the eastern seaboard and the Mississipp! yater ex- cept two. As the master and directing genius of these gigantic interests, Mr. Mor- gan is given absolute control of the an- tracite coal business of the country. If he fgets the Baltimore and Ohio in his grasp, there will be left only one east and west line, the Pennsytvania, not under his con- trol and management. Mr. Morgan has bought up small and detached railroads in the south and combined them into one vast system, known as the Southern Railroad, and in all the sweep of country south of the Ohio and west of the Mississippi only three competing lines are not in his hands. These are the Cincinnati Southern, the Louisville and Nashville and the Seaboard Air Line. With the acquisition of the Baltimore and Ohio Mr. Morgan will control more miles of railroad than exist in any other country in the world except the United States,and more than one-sixth of the total mileage in this country. That he will get the Baltimore and Ohio seems a foregone conclusion. What he will do with this tremendous power cannot be foretold. Of course he will use it to bring the highest possible earnings to himself and those interested with him, and in working to this end he can raise the rates of freight and fare without even the intervention of a pooling committee. The interstate commerce commissioners cannot interfere with his manipulation as with the maniputation of cannot be his York Clothing House.
