CONGRESS TO BLAME

If the congress of the United States
was liable to criminal indictment it
would have to stand trial on the charge
of murder in the first degree for having
killed twenty-five employees of the sur
geon generals Office who lost their lives
by the falling of the floors of Ford's old
theatre on Friday. In addition to the
twenty-five men killed outright there
were sixty-eight injured, a number of
whom may die, and many of whom
may be permanently crippled. Congress
cannot claim in extenuation that it did
not know the condition of this building,
because its condition had been re-
peatedly called to its attention and it
actually appropriated money some six or
eight years ago to erect a new building
to contain the army medical museum
and library which had been in this
building.
Just think for a moment what damn
ing evidence is given by this action.
Congress erects another building be-
cause this isn't safe enough for the mu-
scum and library with their compare
lively few attendants to remain in,
and then allows 500 clerks to
be crowded into the unsafe building.
Had private employer been guilty of
this crime he could have been legally
executed for murder; but congress
we'll, the families of the dead and
crippled, who are now being aided by
private contribution, can spend the re.
mainder of their lives in asking con.
gress to recompense them for their lost
bread-winners. Meanwhile there are
half dozen buildings in Washington
containing many times the number o.
government employees who were in thu
collapsed building that are known to b,
equally dangerous, among them tn,
government printing Office, with it
nearly 5000 employees; the patent office
the annex to the postoffice department
and the Winder building, where larg
branch of the war department i
Iquartered.
An attempt is being made by an arm,
court Of inquiry to locate the persona
responsibility for the disaster at thi
old death trap, if there be any, and
coroner's jury is also at work with tn
same end in view. 1t is said that tn
direct cause of the accident was an ex
cavation which was being made 70
the purpose of putting in new boilers
This may be true, but even if it is, tina
furnishes no excuse for congress TO
having allowed a building which wa
officially condemned twenty seven year
| ago to be occupied by 500 government
employees.

EVER since the organization of the
national banking system, one of its i'm
portant laws has been construed in
favor of the stockholders, but hereafter
this law will be construed in favor of
the depositors and other creditors of
these banks. The law in question is
that which provides for the levying of
an assessment up to 100 per cent of the
face of stock held, on the stockholders
of banks, to make good any losses. 1t
has been customary to wait until all the
other assets of broken bank had been
realized on before making this assess
ment; hereafter it will be made as soon
after bank closes it's doors as possible.

THERE is no truth in the sensational
rumor sent out from Washington early
last week, that the British ambassador
had demanded of this government
reparation, pecuniary and by apology,
for the arrest of an officer of the British
steamer Nigretia at New Orleans last
month. The arrest has been in a
courteous note brought to the attention
of the state department and an investi-
cation is now being made of the case.
If the facts show that reparation is due
it will be made promptly without any
demand. The originator of the silly
rumor must have been entirely ignorant
of diplomatic methods.

formerly quarantine was established
against them, every carriage and Gov
cred wagon being stopped beyond the
city limits and inspected, to see that
none of the moths were riding into
