If a commercial corporation were to con-
duct its business Congress very fire.
auently does the business of the United
States, the firm would be bankrupt in a
very little while. An instance of con-
eressional folly is to be found in the fact
that large proportion of the employees in
the various navy yards of the United States
will be discharged about August /, not
because there Is lack Of work that really
Eeeds to be done. but because Congress
paid no heed whatever to the recommended
tions of the naval authorities when they
asked for appropriations which would at
once provide the auxiliary navy with the
armament it would have to carry in time
of war and hold together the trained forces
of expert artifcers. When the recommen-
dations referred to were made The Star
did its part in endeavoring to impress the
congressional mind; now it can only join
with the multitude in regretting that a
considerable number of highly trained me-
chanic5 must suffer serious personal in
convenience while the United States is
bound ultimately to be financially the loser.

An old topic once more makes appearance

nations Chief Executive. This structure"

corridor with a large conservatory fitted
up as a winter garden with tropical plants,
fountains and statues of eminent Amer
icans. The conservatory could open into a
picture gallery connected with two wide
corridors with the East Room and these
improvements would serve a double pur-
pose by relieving the mansion of the ter

Judge Bingham decides without hesita-
tlon that corporation which Is violating
law and which asks court of equity to
prevent the authorities from preventing it
from violating law, does not come into
court with clean hands. The statute law
denies the right Of the lexington road to
use overhead wires within the city. The
court reatfirms that denial, and refuses to
forbid the Commissioners 70 enforce the
law by removing the Illegal poles and wires.
The railroad company continues, however,
to violate the law. and seeks another court
for the purpose of profiting by Illegal use
OF the overhead wires and by opportunities
OF seeking a change Of the law during the
interval which must elapse before the upper
court can give 1t final Knockout. Was it
impossible to prevent the proceedings from
getting into such shape that merely the
company's appeal is thought to suspend in
effect the law, and to stay the hand of
the officials who would enforce it? Can the
law be thus paralyzed and it's officers rem
dered impotent? Assuming that the Com
missioners may not. pending the appeal,

exhausted their ingenuity and their power?
The community will expect in the movement
upon the Illegal overhead wires a persist

to which the same qualities were displayed
in the prosecution of Illegal occupants of

Office purposes. the official residence to be
somewhere without the present city limits;
but this idea, while quite generally ap-
proved of, never excited Congress to action.
1t may be. though, that the Congress
which will come in power next December
VIII take cognizance Of condition that is
not at all creditabIe to the country and will
provide a suitable residence for the Chief
Magistrate far apart from the offices in
which official business is daily transacted.
Col Wilson's pIan, as outlined in the re-
port. which was printed in yesterdays
Star. may meet with popular favor; Col.
Wilson is at once practical and artistic. 1t
will probably have to meet the objection
that there will be trreparable architectural
injury to the White House should the ad-
ditional structure be incongruous. The
argument that the White House has had
the same exterior appearance it now pos
sesses for nearly hundred years and that
therefore 1t should be continued without
change is probably a weak one, but 1t will
be made by many people and will have the
support of sentiment that will appeal to a
large number of Americans. A clever
architect might, however. succeed in max
ing It plain to the public that the present
structure could be added to In the manner
proposed without disastrous effect, from
the esthetic standpoint. Sensible sugges-
tons will always be in order and from
these Congress may select the one 1t deems
best; something will have to be done in this
matter in the near future. People who are
fearful lest there be decision favorable to
additions to the White House under the d.
rectlon of those who control government
architecture may even now rest assured
that past experience will count for some
thing; that the law will not allow an aspir-
ing political draughtsman to attach a
gilded gingerbread palace to the pleasing
harmony of the classic mansion where the
elected chief of this nation has his official
residence.

MARKED IMPROVEMENT.
That is What the Reported Change of
Time of n. & st. L. Train Ser
vice Will Be.

A new time table will take effect on
the M. & st. L. road next Sunday and
we learn that there is likely to be
some radical change made in the run
ing of trains thereon. Just what the
change will be is not given out, but
we are informed that it will be of a
nature that will allow people along
that line to 'spend three or four hours
in the city between trains which will
be a great improvement on present
conditions. 1t is further stated that
the train service of that road will be
the best that has ever been in the city.
This being the case the work of the
Commercial Club is about to bear
good fruit and it is to be congratu-
lated, Q While the results, from what
we can learn, viii not be all that Man
kato desires, they will be far better
than at present, and the advantage to
which they are used will doubtless
have an effect upon an improvement
in she future:

disappearance. The evaporation in
the hot summers is too rapid to be
overcome by the relatively small sup
ply of rain water received from their
diminished basins. AS to the larger
lakes fed by streams or by adequate
drainage areas it may be confidently
predicted that they will be gradually
filled up again, nearly if not quite to
their old level. For there is no rea-
son to suppose that the diminished
rainfall of Minnesota and Dakota dur
ing the last eight or nine years indi-
Gates permanent change of climate.
Every old MinneSOtian has seen sew
eral years of drouth in succession, in
consequence of which the lakes in the
affected by it either dried up or lost
years of increased rain and snowfall
filled them up again. To the cycle of
dry years we have recently been passing
through is sure to succeed cycle of
wet years. The Pioneer Press, there
fore, agrees with those of it's CORES
pondents who believe that eventually
a few seasons of heavier precipitation
will replenish the wasted waters of
many OF these vanished or shrunken
lakes. They will probably never again
reach their maximum levels in the
past, for the reason already stated
the encroachment of agriculture on
their basins of water supply.
OF the 1000 lakes of Minnesota in
1885, it is quite probable that as the
result of the cultivation of the soil
perhaps third or more of them will
permanently disappear. The remain
der will f1uctuate in volume with the
average rainfall, shrinking materially
during successive dry seasons and re-
appearing in all their ancient beauty
when the rain comes back to fill their
empty bowls.

TWO MARKETS.

The outcome of the squabble over
the location of city hay and wood
market may be designation of two
market places, one on Poplar street
and one On Geo. Hoerr's lot. 1t
seems as though this would be the
best solution of the problem. The
farmers could then take their produce
to the market where the greatest de-
mand was which would be the only
practical way to show which location
is the best. The market ought to be
where it will be convenient for the
greatest number of people, or two
markets maintained if necessary.
