In q quiet way the people of Washing
ton who have more than they actually need
to supply their daily wants have done well
In caring for their less fortunate fellow
beings during the long period of depres-
sion which, affecting the whole country,
has been severely felt in the District OF
Columbia But what has been done is in
the past. ard today this community stands
face to face with the chastity fact that in
this freezing weather there are resident
at the national capital thousands of people
who lack even the cheapest of the neces-
saries of life But little of this poverty Is
apparent on the Streets. for the great ma
jority of the sufferers must perforce re-
main indoors and there. unless help Is
speedily sent them, many will undoubtedly
perish. That the well-to-do of Washing
toms population will permit continuation
of this most unfortunate state of affairs
Is not at all likely now that their atten-
t1on has been directed to it. There will
doubtless be prompt contribution of
money and food and fuel and clothing
so great as to make IT certain that phy5i-
cal suffering Will be reduced to u mimi
mum-as soon as the good people OF the
District of Columbia realize the situa-
ton; which Is, 1t may be said. much worse
now than IL has been at any time for ten
years past. II used to be that the ma
jority of those who needed assistance
were of the class that has never known
anything eut poverty, but industrial con-
ditions CT late have forced into the ranks
of the hungry and cold large number OF
people who antil recently knew nothing
whatever of the miseries that are conse-
Quent upon lack of employment and abb
sence of any substantial support. Unfor-

woes: they bear the ,pangs Of starvation
in silence and make useless endeayor TO
preserve an appearance Of cheerf illness
wholly out of accord with their distressing
circumstances The charitable institutions
of this city are utterly unable to meet the
exigency presented; the police fund has
been disbursed; the Associated Charities
and the Central Union Mission people,
more than Wiling they are, must soon
fail to relieve a 1.-THE of the suffering they
are brought in contact with every hour;
the funds OF the Evening Star Santa Claus
Club have practically been distributed. 1t
will therefore be seen that an emergency
exists which calls for prompt and liberal
action. This is time to sit down in
warm apartments and discuss what may
or may not be done next week or next
month. The time to give is now! The Star
Is willing to receive and acknowledge such
contributions the charitably -inchned
may make, more than this The Star will
see TO il that the material entrusted to its
care is distributed expeditiously and as
equitably possible. In this matter and
at this time procrastination Is cruelty. for
while the possessors of siow-movins good
intentions promise themselves that tomor-
low or Monday or sometime next week
they viii subscribe something. the stom-
achs OF the needy are painfully empty and
their bodies shrlveied by the worse than
freezing temperature. The moment for
action is nowl

Taken altogether. IL is safe to say that
the exposures made by the Lexow investi-
eating committee in New York are the
most disgraceful and discouraging that the
whole HISTORY of municipal corruption can
show. Where all is bad. and much of 1t
very bad. appears to be the case with
the pcnce department of that city, it is a
little difficult to Indicate exact degrees of
turpitude and crimInality; but, judged by
his own testimony alone, Inspector Will
Jams must be regarded as about the very
worst of the lot. In short, IL begins to look
as though the biggest rascals on the force
were promoted to the highest places, and
that increased capacity for usefulness was
exercised wholly In squeezing and protect
Ing criminals, instead of bringing them to
punishment

The low temperature that prevailed in

JOY the Choral Society's rendition of the
Messiah" endured and were exposed to,

such an ordeal as the members of the

experienced last evening.

Senator CamcrOn's Greed.
Wash. Cor. Phila. Press

wash. Cor. In1la Iress.
General Malone of Virginia and Senator
Cameron of Pennsylvania are jointly inter-
ested in a site for the new government
printing office. which they have been trying
to foist on the government at a sum
hundred thousand dollars in excess of what
better site can be secured for. Because
of their inability to secure the passage of
an act to purchase their site. they have,
through the influence of Mr.. Cameron and
Mr.. Quay. prevented the passage of a bill
to purchase any other site.
AS result the rotten old structure,
which has been denounced by every public
printer who ever occupied it, and by unani-
nous congressional committees. remains In
use. There Is not soul in Washington
who does not admit the pressing need of a
new printing office. But Mr.. Cameron
stands in the way by asserting that tie
government must take the site in which he
is interested or else the 1900 employees in
the printing office can continue daily to
take their lives in their hands when they
enter that structure. as no bill shall go
through excepting for the purchase Of the
Malone site.

Senator Cameron has assumed a grave
responsibility in declaring that there shall
be no new government printing office rnless
the site iii which he and Gen. Malone are
interested is purchased. Suppose that the
always threatened collapse of the rickety
old building now occupied should occur, and
q number of the 1000 employees Gagged there
In were killed; would not Senator Cameron
be chargeable with their death? A Wash
ington jury would DE very apt to say he
was. The senator should reflect upon this
matter.

Philadelphia has been awakened by the
recent storm to a realization of the fact
that there is danger in overhead wires.
Many of these electric conductors We're
blown down by the wind or weighted down
by the ice accommodating upon them. and
many serious accidents have occurred
within the past few days. 1t usually requires
such viSitationS as this to convince GER
tain people that institutions that common
sense teaches to be dangerous are actually
a menace to human life and safety. With
characteristic impudence the trolley peo-
pie Of Philadelphia are loud in their asser-
lions at this time that the danger is all
in the overhead light, telephone and tele-
graph wires, and not in their own. They
contend that there is more danger from
these other wires falling on their own and
So making connections that give out the
deadly current to men and horses round
about, than from their own wires, and they
give as a reason the fact that they have
an amazingly strong construction, and in
stance several occasions when heavy
weights have fallen on their wires and
the latter have sustained the shock. This
is all nonsense. Any current of electricity,
whether OF high or low Potentially, is dan
gerous when conducted through a wire
euopehueu III the all hdpie 10 pe broken
and lowered by the wind or the weight of
ice or by the ordinary accidents of the
streets. More especially is the trolley wire
dangerous, for by their own statement the
advocates of this system admit that it is
through their wires that the other wires
Ieceive their deadly currents. Put all
wires underground for both winter and
summer. Let there be no discrimination.
Save the appearance of the streets and the
lives of the people.

In the District.

Christmas observance i'll this city was
marked by the usual home festivities and
the manifestation of spirit of charity to-
ward the poor and unfoI tunate. A change
in the weather to winter temperature has
been accompanied with additional suffering
on the part of the poor. The police fund
has been exhausted and an appeal has been
made to private charity: The Star will re-
ceive and distribute contributions. Three
historical associations. two college fra
ternities and two scientific bodies We're in
session in this city during the week, as
follows: American Jewish Historical So
ciety, American Historical Association,
American Society of Church History, Alpha
Tau omega and Sigma Alpha Epsilon fra
ternities, the American Folklore Society
and the Anne rican Forestry Association.
For the murder of his Step-daughter, Mrs.
Anna l.. Leahy, Joseph A. Beam was held

Capt. Fiebeger. The number of patients
in the smallpox hospital was increased
during the week by four persons. A long
lease of the property on Lafayette square
occupied as a home by the late Secretary
Blaine was made in the interests of a syn
dictate, and a permit has been secured for
the erection of theater building on the
site.

Is plso ed in the hands Of all taxpayers Of

question of establishing a company, which il
given a greater control Of the traffic In
the locality than under the old law. The
proceeds of the sale Of liquor by these
companies was formerly taken wholly by
the state and expended an objects of pub
lie utility. This method. as Is pointsd out
In the magazine referred to. involved a
temptation to increase the sales that the
communities might be benefited by larger
expenditures. Under the new law the COM
panies are allowed to retain twenty per
cent of the net profits. to be expended for
total abstinence societies and other philan-
thropic institutions; fifteen per cent goes to
the municipality in lieu of tbs former tax
on consumption. and the remaining sixty
five per cent Is placed in the state treasury
to constitute a fund for the insurance of
working people and aged persons. Thus
there Is no individual profit. There Is no
mention made of dividends, and 1t must be
assumed from this division of the met
earnings" that the company Is composed
wholly of persons who are striving for
the eradication of the traffic. This meas
ure pauses halfway between individual
control and socialism. The saloon Is man
aged not by the state. yet the state makes
it possible that the saloon shall be man
aged by its adversaries. 1t is estimated
that under the new law the consumption
of distilled spirits will fall OFF twenty per
cent. Sweden and Finland have both been
struggling with this problem for many
years, but 1t would appear that Norway
