THE heroic element in American char,
acter, so wonderfully displayed in the civil
war, frequently flashes out in the great
disasters that sweep over our land. Fire
and food test the temper of souls as well
as rafting shots of rifles or the shrek and
bursting of shells on battle fields. The
telegrapber's instrument in Minneapolis
clicked out the numbered seconds of the
brave Igoe's life, who sat at his table I'M
moved by the roaring flames three floors
beneath him, till the last man had fled
from his post of duty. Hundreds Of fire
men in Boston last week fought gigantic
devouring flames beneath tottering walls
and inside of lofty buildings, which were
succnmbing to the whirlwinds of fire roll
ing over them. 1t is the manly purpose
and habit of courage in ordinary trials
which make men heroes on occasions.

THERE is so much good reading in the
newspapers these days that it keeps a
man at his wits end for time to keep up
with it. With congress just getting into
line for action and 80 much to draw ones
attention toward the national capital ;
with Stanley nearing home and the whole
civilized world singing his praises; with a
billion OF English money rolling over to
increase railroad construction in the wild
and woody west, and the thousand and
one other subjects of moment for the
reader to digest, not to mention the chatty
letters from the metropolitan correspond
ents, there's a merry-go-round for every
body these long evenings who are readers
of newspapers. What wonderful thing
the American newspaper CT the day is,
anyhow. Certainly old Gutenberg must
smile and Franklin applaud, wherever
they be, if they can know what great
strides the art preservative is making in
these times.

A BUREAU OF SURVEY,

General dissatisfaction is being felt
with Major John w. Powell, chief of the
geological survey, over the conduct OF his
office, and a movement is on foot prom
inentIy backed by Senator Stewart, Of
Nevada, to abolish his bureau altogether
1t is proposed to establish, in its stead
what is t0 be known as Bureau Of
Survey" which shall be conducted by
trained engineers, with q thoroughly
competent, experienced engineer at its
head. AS this department is now con-
Quoted, it is q mere training school for
the sons OF public men who draw large
salaries at the expense of the govern
ment, and some reform in this direction
seems eminently proper.
The above is printed in Pacific coast
paper as special dispatch from Wash
ington.
1t is not unexpected news. For some
years there has been complaint of this
kind every little while, and during the
past two years cause for complaint has
increased. 1t appears as if Major Powell
has sought to strengthen his hold upon
the government by the appointment Of
young, inexperienced, and, frequently,
very incompetent men to responsible
positions, for no other reason than that
they were the SONS of their fathers. 1t
long since became common criticism in
the west that such men as are sent out on
duty for this branch of the government
should have so large percentage Of
young, devilmay-care sort OF fellows
among them. Very many OF them are
downright invalids-consumptives. At
least this is the case with not a few Of
them coming to New Mexico. AS mat
ter of course this class of men care very
little about the good of the service they
are employed to promote, yet their salaries
are drawn with exceeding regularity, and
that such policy should be allowed to
continue much longer is scarcely to be
expected. 1t is neither fair to the govern
ment nor to the people of the
west, whose benefit Major Powell's
department is expected to largely
serve. Some sort OF change is de-
manded. The entire geological survey
might be overhauled with good results
especially would this be demanded if con-
gress proposes to continue the COVER
ment appropriations for the survey and
segregation of water storage reservoirs and
canals for irrigating purposes. Such ap-
preparations would largely increase Major
Powells working force, and would place
in his hands power that might not be
judicious to confer upon one man. Already
there have been charges made that great
favoritism was being shown some of the
western states, or various sections of
them, in the matter of surveying reservoirs
while other localities, not less deserving,
have been wholly neglected. The estab-
lishment OF bureau OF survey" might
be vast improvement over the present
arrangement.

In Massachusetts, where the Australian
ballot system has been tried twice, namely
in a state and city election, it is claimed
that it has two conspicuous merits 1t
prints and distributes uniform election
tickets at public expense, and it provides
voters with a place wherein to prepare
their ballots free from observation. By
these two very wholesome provisions,
bribery is reduced to minimum, and in
timidation and the use of tissue ballots
can not we'll be practred, if at all.

According to the precedent Of a number of
the international expoSitions held under gov
eminent auspices there should be no substan-
tial deficit in the accounts of a worlds fair,
given by the United States at the national
capital. II there should be a surplus, as in the
case of several of the worlds fairs, the national
government should be SO related to the fnan-
cial management and responsibility that
it will have the disposition of this
surplus. If, on the other hand, through
any mishaps there should be a serious
deficit in the accounts, it should be
met largely By the national government
Congress ought to appropriate directly for the
purpose of establishing the worlds fair at the
capital, and no. raise the money needed for
expenditures before the receipts begin to come
in by authorizing the issue and sale of District
bonds. The suggestion coming from citizens of
the issue of fifteen millions of District bonds to
constitute guarantee fund, if Congress shall
demand it, is not to be considered as an ap-
proval of this method of giving the fair the
necessary financial backing. TIE fact that it
is made shows. however, the disposition of cit
liens to provide for any possible emergency
which may arise in the consideration of the
subject by Congress- an indicates their conf
dence in the success Of the enterprise, fnan-
cially and otherwise, If it be held here under
national auspices.

The talk about ''dodging the census" which
certain leaders OF the colored race in the south
are quoted as using to stir up their people to
reduce the apparent population in certain dis
tricts 50 as to throw obnoxious Congressman
out Of business, Is very foolish. The law COM
maads every person to stand up and be
counted. If he doesn't, or if lac gives wilfully
misleading answers. he pays for the privilege
with a handsome fine. besides taking an excel
lent chance of "aving all his efforts at distor-
ton Of the figures thrown away. Those who

ment had better &C into some other business.

Itis eneouraging 70 learn that the commissio,

Itisencouraging TO learn that the commission
having in charge the selection Of a site for the
new national geological park have got so far as
to submit their plot Of the ground to the Presi-
dent. This is a sign that we are going to have
apark, and q good one. 1t will not be so large
as was at first expected, or as we shall probably
wish it before many years, but the region
chosen is one of the most picturesque and
lovely la the District. 1t is safe TO predict that
the park will be the favorite pleasure resort in
the neighborhood of Washington when it has
once got under way. Its collection Of animals
will not only thrive in the natural course Of
events, with an agreeable climate and the best
of care but situated at the capital OF the nation
and belonging to the general government. il
will attract gifts from foreign countries as well
as from all parts Of our own. Successive Presi-
dents will bless the genius who evolved the idea
of the park, with its possibilities az place Of
safe-keeping for the bears and coons, the
badgers and prairie wolves, the hairless dogs
and the too hairy cats, the gophers and owls
and eagles which admiring constituents insist
upon showering on newly inaugurated execu-
tiyes.

As indicated by its latest report the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad enjoys increasing pros
perity and is moving toward its old position in
the financial world. Instead Of voting divi-
dends the directors have adopted for the pres
ent the conservative course of using their
money to improve the road. Last year the
equipment was strengthened in various places
where weakness was showing itself. This year
it is announced that an effort will be made to
improve the terminal facilities Washington,
as a terminus, is int ested in this plan. 1t
hopes that the managers OF the road will real
ize the wisdom of removing the grade tracks
which now obstruct the streets and make thor
oughfare dangerous in certain parts of the city,
and of building on a permanent site a station
commodious and handsome enough to be worthy
OF the capital To accomplish these ends it
will need to join citizens in laboring with Con-
gress for q solution Of the local railroad prob
lem. If, in correcting the evils of its own &C.
eupation OF the streets of the capital it secures
for itself the coveted southern connections out
of this city, Washington will rejoice with it in
a common gain.

One Of Washington's needs is the develop
ment of a greater publ; spirit. more local
pride. and stronger sentiment of community
Of interest among its citizens. The absence of
self-goyernment and the comparatively slow
expansion Of the city commercially have been
in measure responsible for this lack. The citi-
zens need to get tog ,ther to fight effectively
for the common welfare and should not per-
NIT themselves to be separated in snarling
groups by sectional or factional jealousies.
TO accomplish this desirable end
The STAR has steadily favored every
form of citizens organization which
will bind more closely together the people of
Washington. give opportunity for the express
sion Of public sentiment, and furnish the
machinery for concerted and united public
action when the city's welfare demands it.
Citizens committees, business mems clubs,
boards of trade, in short, every organization
existing or proposed. which tends in this diree-
ton, will receive all the encouragement and
support which The STAR can give it.
