As all the children in the District were
crying for II, the Senate has resolved to
print that crude mass Of stuff called the tes-
timony Of ''experts' before the Senate
Committee on the District Of Columbia on
the gas question. The so-called expert tes-
timony consists chiefly Of the rawlings of a
few cranks and chronic asitators, backed by
the opinion Of speculators in franchises, and
would-be bears Of gas stocks. 1t is good
thing to print it, however, If anybody will
read 1t, for 1t proves conclusively that the
committee based It's bill on the froth and fury
Of men who knew nothing about the subject on
which they testified. No one can dip into
this stew without scenting the motives of
those who concocted It. They will fail how
ever, in the two alternative points arrived a..
No new gas company will be chartered, and
the price Of gas stock is not going to fall so
low as to put II within their reach.

The opponents Of the fraudulent sale of
adulterated articles Of food have won great
victory in the passage Of the oleomargarine
bill. Similar legislation should be had in
relation to adultsrated wines, and other ar

as genuine products. Twenty-three Demo
Gratis and one Riddleberger voted against the
bill in the Senate.

Legislators who aot as attorneys for COM
panies who have large interests depending
on Congressional favor do not hesitate to
vote on matters in which they are SO inter
ested. And yet the same legislators con.
denim Attorney General Garland for holding
while Senator stock in company that
had no legislation pending or in prospect,
and this solely because it was political
necessity to dnd some flaw In the personnel
of the Administration. Verify, politics is
very often dirty business.

Congress has been very remiss in not pro-
viding some plan for the extension OF the
streets and avenues of the city. The failure
to do so at this session will retard somewhat
the natural growth Of the city. There is
scarcely question of more Importance than
this to the development Of the District. The
Commissioners should see to II that some
plan for extending the city limits is passed
next session.

IfTreasurer Jordan had the management
of the finances all the money Of the United
States would be boarded in the Treasury.
One and two-dollar bills would no longer be
printed, silver certificates of small denomi-
nations would be retired, greenbacks re-
deemed and destroyed, silver demonetized,
and nothing left for transacting the business
of the country but little gold and an In.
adequate supply Of national bank notes.
This would create millionare millennium.
But real estate would fall, and every thing
else Of value, except gold.bearing interest

As The HERALD predicted when the
Library Site bill passed, 1t has b besn decided
that the limit Of 1850, 900 does not apply to
condemnations by the jury. The Secretary
OF the Interior can pay out up to that amount,
and the balance, II any, will have to be ap-
propriated for as deficiency. The delay
in the work Of building can be avoided,
however, by the passage OF an act or joint
resolution authorizing the Government to
take possession pending proceedings, the
amount OF awards to be appropriated with
interest from date Of taking possession.
Congress gave this right to the Baltimore
and Potomac Railroad for quasi public pur-
poses. It can certainly exert as much power
in the present instance.

In urging upon Congress the Importance Of
providing ct once for the erection Of build
ing for the District Government, the Com
missioners very truly say that the almost uni
versal sentiment ofthe people of the District is
against the occupation Of any more Of the pub
lie parks by buildings. Considering that the
District Commissioners, who inaugursted the
project, proposed TO occupy Judiciary Square,
1t was very proper that the new Commits
sioners should now say this. Our new Com
missioners are evidently Of the opinion that
the wishes of the people Of the District should
be carried out. They can lind no better
guide for Official action.

Acting Secretary of the Treasury Fairchild
and Treasurer Jordan strenuously oppose
the passage Of the Morrison resolution, pro-
viding for the use of the surplus in the
Treasury above specified amount for the
payment of obligations bearing interest now
payable at the option Of the Government.
Mr.. Fairchild's opposition was principally
based upon the puerile theory that the
Treasury Department should be left free to
exercise Its discretion. OF course Mr.. Jor-
dan was against the use of silver for any
purpose not absolutely necessary. 1t is be.
cause the Treasury Department leans to
Wall street views against the rapid payment
Of the interest bearing debt that the House as
thought 1t necessary to provide by afirma-
tive action for the payment Of that debt as
fast as the surplus accumulates beyond
fixed amount. II the measure ever gets be-
fore the Senate 1t has fair chance to . asa
that body. tshould pass. 1.-THE Treasury De-
psrtment will not deal with the public debt
in common sense way, Congress should
not hesitate in requiring it do 30. No man
OF sense or common honesty would hoard
trust funds when he had trust obligations
out bearing interest. The money in the
Treasury belongs to the people. The inter-
est on the public debt is burden on the
present and will be on the next generation.
While we are utterly opposed to increased tax
alton for the payment of the public debt, we
are as earnestly opposed to boarding the sur.
plus, and in faver Of using It in payment Of
the interest.bearing debt. This Is one of
the best ways to reduce taxation.

ing about the conclusions of the Senate Com.
mittee, that regulation can be so practicsd
as to amount to confscation, even In the
matter Of the muchabused Gas Company.
Having once established the principle that
Congress is to regulate the profits Of q corpo-
ration doing business in the District Of Co.
lumbia, in an arbitrary manner, the question
they are pondering upon Is what will stock
in any railway, insurance, or other corpo-
ration be worth! Congress, for instance, has
the right to regulate the business OF fire in
sursnce. 1t may provide license, or it
may provide fixed amount to be paid as
revenue to the District on each policy taken
out. II would, OF course, be unwise for II
to exercise this power 80 as to smbarrass in
surance companies. But we can readily i'm
agine an attack on the insurance companies
by some OF the same cranks or blackmailers
who have bounded the Gas Company. They
go before Congress with petition represent
ing that such company began with say
$780, 900 In stock, has increased its stock by
its profits to 100000, and besides this has
paid handsome dividends. Decent men In
the community will say they have done this
by capable management. But the chronic

insurance rates, aud have robbed the
policy holders to make dividends, and
water their stock. Then they demand
that the companies shall be restricted
in future to such charges for insurance
as will net but seven per cent. on the origi-
nal investment Of sl0o, 900. The same rule
applied to the railways Of the city would
work the same hardship. It is no answer to
say that It is a different thing with the Gas
Company, because It has made profits by the
permission Of Congress, to charge the rates
past or present. II Ia the same with the
railroad companies and insurance compa-
nies. Congress can equally regulate their
charges, although II would DO unwise to do
SO in an arbitrary way. In dealing with
vested rights there ia but one proper course
to pursue. II the Government desires to 10

so with the gas companies. II the time has
arrived, aud We think II has, when the Dis.
trict Government, constituted as II Is, can
safely enter upon the enterprise of furnish

and franchises OF the gas companies be con

to whom this species Of entertainment is quite

less attractive. The generous way In which the
chorus and orchestra are maintained, and the CO.'S
tumes scenery, and accessories are kept first class
at this cool and roomy house, are deserving OF
praise. The addition OF new and good voices TO the
company is also feature whlcn the public will ap-
