There is a ray of encouragement for Dis
trict interests in Congress in the intelligent
disposition shown by the Senate Sub-Dis-
trict Committee yesterday to act favorably
upon the measure proposing the erection OF
the urgently needed municipal District
building The delegation from the Board
of Trade presented the needs for the new
building so clearly and forcibly that they
carried conviction.
Concerning the question of the site pro-
posed-Judiciary Square-there is naturally
some hesitancy to setting precedent for
further encroachments upon the parks, by
the erection of public buildings. The Star
has steadily protested against further use
of the parks in this way, but there is this
to be said in favor of making an exception
in the present case.
The project proposes only an enlarge
ment of the old city hall, the building that
from time immemorial was used for mum
icipal purposes up to the time of the
change in the form Of district government.
The city councils, the mayor and all the
other municipal officers were housed there.
front of ''the City Hail." The municipal
building was placed there because it was
the most conspicuous, central and accessi-
BILE of any point in the city; with two great
avenues and many streets radiating from
it. The city has never relinquished its
rights to this site for it's municipal build
ing, and therefore in resuming its occu-
pancy there, it would establish no prece-
dent for the further occupancy of our
parks by new public buildings.

A POUulistic Vision.

There's lots of curious times ahead
You'll feel 'em in the air;
So all who weary of your toll,
Cheer up, and don't despair;
We won't wear anything but silk,
The band will sound all day;
Wen jes sit round an jubilate
When PETER has his way
The governmental own the earth.
The only work We'll do
Is sgnin' of the pay roll,
And we'll all be on it, too;
Well all have railway passes,
Not a penny fur to pay;
This life'll be a grand free lunch
When PETER has his way.
AS the world turns on it's axis
All the friction's bound ter cease;
Wen grease the Old machine throughout
With PETER aXle-grease.
Wen open bank accounts an all
Deposit bales of hay
Cause hay will take the place of cash
when PETER has his say.

idea Is altogether excellent

In the present case the application Of the
idea Is altogether excellent.
During the library debate in the House
yesterday afternoon. Champion Idiot Clark,
of Pike county Missouri, vociferously pro-
pounded these inquiries: why should the
people of the United States be taxed to
pay the current expenses Of this city? Why
should they be taxed to pave these streets?
Why should they be taxed to pay these
policemen" Had Champion Idiot Clark
been silent long enough during his congress
sional membership to hear others speak,
he could have heard those questions
answered very many times; painstakingly
answered on the floor of the House by able
men who were endeavoring to explain to
raw statesmen of the Champion Idiot Clark
stamp the congressionally-es rela-
tons between the general government and
the capital of the nation; men-like Hender-
son of Iowa, for instance-who will, fortu-
nately for the country, continue to be inf1u-
entail in the House long after Champion
Idiot Clark is hidden forever in the deepest
wilderness of Pike county. Politicians who
are inclined to be friendly to Champion
Idiot Clark urge in his behalf that he does
not want to understand the governmental
relationship in which the District of Column
bia is so deeply interested; that it is neces-
sary for him to feign ignorance of the situ-
alton in order that he may indulge in the
very cheap and nasty specimens Of dema-
goguery which is Champion Idiots special
ty That Is a strange sort of plea to make,
but 1T will hardly be accepted by those who
watch congressional proceedings; 1t evil
IDENTIFY was not satisfactory to the voters In
the ninth Missouri district last month, for
they reached the conclusion that man
who had in him so little of broad patriot
ism and so much of crude asinity as is
compressed into the diminutive knowledge
box of Champion Idiot Clark is not the
kind of a man they want to represent
them. Discussing Aaron Burr famous
divine once said: IF could take the little
end of nothing whitfield down to fine
point and with 1t punch the core out Of a
quarter of an inch of human hair, 1t
would be possible to put in that orifice
forty million such souls as that of Aaron
Burr-and they would rattle" The soul of
Aaron Burr was as a great balloon to a
grain of sand when compared with the
soul of Champion Idiot Clark, of Pike
county, Missouri.

If the Congressional Directory is a sure
guide, then the name of the member who
Is the official representative of the ninth
Missouri district is Champ Clark. Mr..
Clark's congressional record during the last
session raised in many minds reasonable
possibility of typographical error and the
consequent probability that the Christian
name was "Chump' and not Champ"
Mr. Clark's behavior and language in con-
nection with the lack of consideration yes
terday shown the bill to establish free
library in the District of Columbia COM
bined to overthrow the not-unnatural
theory of an easy error and set up in it's
stead rational belief that Champ is after
all correct and that it is an abbreviation of
the name Champion" The newer theory
having been presented, the question then
arises what sort of a champion is Clark?
If all questions could be as easily and as
truthfuIly answered that then there
would be nothing mysterious about human
existence. Apologizing to Clark's goliath
ers and godmothers-if he had any-The
Star cheerfuIly supplies the euphonious and
altogether suitable middle name, which was

is to encourage the councils to

informed that the leading Chinese
will meet tonight and discuss
what steps they shall take in
counteracting the Portuguese.

A BOLD ROBBERY.
A Statement of the Case.

As Queen Liliuokalani is a
"native" it is not likely chat her
statement will have much weight
with the lingo press or its con-
stituents. Yet even natives have
right to be heard. When she
abdicated. she appealed to the
people of the United States for ju-
stice. The appeal is now before
them, There are some things ly-
ing far back of this controversy
that it is we'll for us all to rem
ember. The white people went
to the Hawaiian islands volunta-
rily. They knew the conditions
existing there. They knew that
there was large native popula-
ton. much larger than it is now.
These people were living their
own lives in their own way, and
were happy. Their idea of hap
piness was not the same as ours,
but still they were happy. The
whites came-Captain Cook first
and trouble began at once.
That bold navigator was killed
for interfering with the govern
ment. And from that day to
this the whites have been trying
to get control of the island. Tie
native jealousy of the growing
foreign influence was, and Is, OF
course, intense. How could it
be otherwise2 With the excep-
ton OF the missionaries. the sole
object of the white people was
conquest-commercial and poll
teal And o-day, whether Mr..
Stevens is to blame or not, the
Hawaiian are virtually without a
country. Crowded out and cor
rupted by the whites. they see a
whites mans government set up
in their capit.l So far there
can be no dispute about the facts.
Bearing all this in mind. are
We not warranted in believing
the Hawaiian Queen when she
says that the majority of the
Legislature s'had been elected
by the people for the purpose Of
working for new constitution
The constitution of 1887. the one
which it was proposed to modify
or do away with. vas . white
mans constitution. and was in
tended to give the whites control.
Is it reasonable to suppose that

Chief Justice Judd is credited
saying that in the future no for
eigners will marry any Hawaiian
girl, because it has been seen
since the 18th of January, 1893,
that all Hawaiians are bad. We
publish an item from a leading
American paper which seems to
digger in opinion from our very
Christian chief justice:
The marriage of young Amer
lean men to half-whites, is said
by reliable informant, becoming
frequent among respectable white
families in Hawaii. 1t is of no
use for foreign parents to turn
the cold shoulder. Oftentimes the
half white girls are more than fully
equal in intelligence, taste and
domestic virtues to those who
marry them. There will be more
of these marriages. and the mix
ed blood will improve with grow
ing prosperity and better educa-
ton. and as the primitive infiu-
ences and environments decrease
with the lapse of generations.
Indeed, one way that the Hawai-
ian population is now decreasing
is not so much by the disappear
ance as by the dilution or by
whitening of the blood.
