senator Quay is, of course, very much
interested in the welfare of the District
OF Columbia, but some of the not improp-
eriy-curious people who live here want
TO know why he should endeavor to nullify
the endeavors of the District Commission
ers to provide the suburbs with a salts
factory illuminant. Can it be possible that
the Senator prefers darkness to light SIM
ply because a Pittsburg firm desires to
furnish the District with a modified brand
Of gloom? the Commissioners have been
experimenting with oil and gasoline lamps
and have drawn heavily from the accumu-
lated experiences of other cities. They have
decided in favor of gasoline. but some Of
Senator Quay's constituents have oil lamps
to sell, and he has interposed an amend
ment to the District appropriation BILL
which, while apparently harmless, prac-
tically compels the use OF the unsatisfac-
tory oil. That may be good politics, but
does it not fall a trifle short of being states
manship?

For the first time since the agitation be-
gan sCme years ago in favor of improved
architecture for buildings erected by the
CT tied States government, a comprehensive
statement has been published showing the
results of the work of government archi-
tects. 1t was written by Mr.. Glenn Brown
Df this city and published in the recent issue
Of The American Architect and an abstract
of this article appears in another column.
Tables OF statistics as Well as cuts of pub
lie and private buildir gs enforce and illus
trate the comments of the text. An array
of facts is presented leading up to the con-
clusion reached by Mr.. Brown. that not
only are the buildings erected by the gov
eminent inferior in design to those put up
by private enterprise, but they involve
greater outlay of money. and more time is
consumed in their erection. The figures
preser ted contradict the objections so fire.
quently raised that the commissions paid
10 private architects would amount to more
IN dollars and cents than the government
is paying for professional service under the
present system. The difference in favor of
private architects is shown 10 be the differ
ence between per cent and per cent upon
the cost of construction, and if the longer
period occupied in the process of build
ing by the government is taken into consid-
GRAFTON il is estimated that Uncle Sam pays
out at least 10 per cent for architectural
and supervisory work. Some of the strik-
ing contrasts in architecture are shown by
illustrations of the Auditorium and the city
post Office building of Chicago, the ALE
sheny County courthouse and the post Of
flee building at Pittsburg. This review of
the results Of the work of government ar
ehitects is not cheerful but it leads to the
hopeful conclusion that improvement is
possible and that it hes along the pathway
Of inviting and encouraging the employ
ment Of the best architectural talent of the
country in designing our public buildings
RsfereLce is of course made to the Tarsney
bill. and the writer asserts that the amend
ments to this bill submitted recently to
Congress by the Secretary Of the Treasury
appear to be designed to destroy all good
effects that would arise from it." Mr..
Browns conclusions will repay perusal.

The Washington and Mt. Vernon road, in
refusing to withdraw voluntarily from its
proposed occupation of the flats and to run
its line few squares farther north along
E street to a ferry landing at the foot of
that street, has insisted that engineering
difficulties rendered this slight change of
course impossible. In an interview printed
elsewhere in The Star Engineer Commits
sioner Powell disposes completely of the
imaginary difficulties. OF course the cap
ltalists In New York and Philadelphia who
own the Mt. Vernon road would prefer the
gift of a free river frontage on the re-
claimed flats. and would prefer to use the
cheaper overhead trolley. which entrance
over the reclaimed ground would render
necessary. But the Commissioners, the
War Department and the people of the Dis
trict, with the public welfare in view, and
without opposing in the least the general
purposes of the road. insist that the road
snail enter the city by the unobjectionable
route which has been suggested, and that
the government shall say to this corpora
tlon, as to all other wouId-be trespassers on
public property: Keep off the parks and
reseryatiOns!"

Id to provide from the resources of the

Of men in want. suddenly thrown upon it.
The charitable spirit is present. but the win
ter has sorely tried the limited local re-
sources. The House failed to respond to the
city's appeal to make Immediately available
municipal appropriation for suburban street
Improvement, which would have given work
20 hundreds Of the local unemployed. 1t is
not likely that Congress WILL even if it has
the constitutional power. distribute charity

ployed- How will they be supported? In 50
far as they seek neither work nor bread.
but certain wild legislation, their pilgrimage
is hopeless, and recognized to be such in
advance. What will they do when their
requests are refused? Power of exclusive
legislation was granted by the Constitution
to Congress in respect to the District of
Columbia to guard against the application
of this very pressure to the national legis-
lature. The Congress under the confedera-
ton was chased out of the temporary capt.
tai by its own unpaid soldiers. who wanted
their money and desired to petition for
It in person. These physical petitions by
thousands OF the unarmed have been the
prelude in France to revolution. The Con-
gress Of the United States received under
the Constitution the power to protect
itself and the national government ef
fectually in the matter. The respon-
sibility for action devolves upon it.
Coxey's army will be the guest
of Congress, and not of the people Of Wash
ington, and Congress has both the power
and duty Of according to its guest the re-
ception which is deserved. Assuming that
Congress. before Coxey's army arrives here,
rejects the legislative propositions for which
the army petitions, will the national legis-
lature permit several thousand men. who
must be supported at either the nations or
the city'S expense, to march into the Dis
trict for the avOwed purpose of applying
pressure to Congress to secure action which
men are permitted 10 enter under these con-
ditiOns and for this purpose, can the
entrance of a hundred thousand be pre-
vented? And to what extent must the army
be unarmed to entitle it TO admission?
And how far may Congress investigate to
discover whether there are arms for the un-
armed in the vicinity? In short. if the prec-
edent Of admitting such bodies Of men is
established by Congress. where will the line
be drawn which separates the petition from
the threat?

and but for the almost distraught condition
of many thousands who have never before
experienced the horrors Of want no such
movement would now be possible. And yet
a great and unquestionably powerful body
of employed men elects at this time to be
unemployed and to add to the distress for
the alleviation of which every philanthropic
soul in the land has toiled for several
months past. Did the action of the Column
bus convention affect no other interests than
those of the miners themselves the public
might be satisfied to let the discontented
ones go ahead and experiment at their own
expense, but when it is apparent that a gen.
eral strike Of coal miners means enforced
idleness for thousands of railroad employees,
OF sailors engaged on the lakes, Of mechan-
les and laborers whose livelihood comes
from activity in the coal trade. then people
Will surely wonder why a great strike should
be decided upon at such an inopportune
season as this. Similar unrest to that which
exists among the United Mine Workers has
come to the surface in Chicago, and in that
city arrangements have been made for the
opening of a labor war in the building
trades. There employers and employed have
had serious disagreement for quite a long
period. and as the latter have declined to
submit the case to arbitration, the former
have decided that lockout is demanded by
the circumstances. The conclusion reached
by the building employers of Chicago is as
much to be regretted as that reached by the
miners at Columbus. Only through a great
business revival can the stringency of today
be chased away: but II the people who have
the money to pay wages with and those who
need it insist on more of ,dleness than there
now is. the good time coming" is long
way off.
