In the heat of congressional debate.
when rhetorical swords are Gathering and
epigrampatic bullets are flying thick and
fast II frequently occurs that an innocent
bystander receives a more or less serious
injury Last week the situation in Hawaii
was being discussed in the Senate. Senator
Palmer of Illinois criticised the present
Hawaiian government as anti-republican.
Then Senator Gallinger said: II should like
to ask the Senator how. in his opinion, 1t
compares with the government at the cap
ital of the United States, where suffrage
is absolutely denied to all the citizens"
To which Senator Palmer rejoined: THE
comparison is hardly a fair one. because
the foreigners there are robbing the people
and here the people are robbing u.s." The
retort Unfair though it was and absolutely
without support in fact, evoked trifie of
thoughtless laughter. 1t may be that
some day when Senator Palmer Is not
being hard pressed in vocal combat and is
rot in an epigram-making mood, he will
either give the public specific information
as to how and by whom the alleged rob-
berry in he District of Columbia is being
conducted, that the thieves may be pun
ished and that he may no longer be a con-
fessed accessory to crime, concealing known
criminals, or he will withdraw his false
and Injurious statement. SANDER of the
unrepresented people of the capital in the
legislature assigned to them by the Consti-
tuition Is contemplate.

recommended that the government
pay the dependent relatives Of those who
were killed in the disaster the sum of 5000
for each DEATH a conclusion which the
House refused to ratify, although its re-
fusal was without anything that looked like
a substantial foundation. In the minds of
some of the legislators in whose hands this
matter is there appears to be doubt as to
whether the sum of 5000 is not excessive,
and so long as these men are permitted to
interfere there WILL it is reasonable to pre-
sumo, be continuation of the discreditable
delay. Had the Ford Theater building been
private property the responsibility would
have been fixed long ago and every sutton
would have secured judgment ere this, but
it seems to be a governmental privilege to
do, without being called to account, things
that in any citizens would be regarded as
heartlesSly dishonest. The fact should be
borne in mind that no attention has yet
been given the claims of the many who re-
ceived lasting injuries in that most awful
of recent local mishaps; these unfortunates
many of them MANNED for life and con-
scious that their earthly career has been
abbreviated-have as yet received no con-
sideration from the government whatever.
Were an individual to act in such matter
as Congress has done, he would have heap
ed upon his head more of opprobrium than
one man could stagger under.

That Congress is occasionally guilty of
negligence little short of criminal will not
be denied by fairminded people who are
conversant with Congressional history
the delay in the matter of a new Govern
ment Printing Office building Is strong
testimony-but only at long intervals does
It develop such discreditable careessness
as has made appearance In the feeble at
tempts at legislation in behalf of the suf
fering survivors of the Ford Theater dis
aster The last session of the Fifty-third
Congress Is almost at an end, yet not
until today did the joint commission hold
its first meeting. and from all that is
known about that session there is but lit
tie hope of Congressional appropriation
for the relief Of those who are most de-
serving and whose claim upon the gov
eminent would never be contested in any
civilized court. More than nineteen
months have elapsed since the floors OF
the building fell and wrought so much
damage 10 life and limb yet up to this
time the widows and orphans of those
who were killed have never received from
the United States even much a
stereotyped resolution of sympathy. A
special committee of the Senate.

AS soon as a convenient season arrives
the House and Senate conferees on the Dis
trict appropriation bill will meet for the
purpose of eudeavoring to reach agreement
as to amendments attached to the measure
by the Senate. 1t is hoped by those VINO
are most deeply interested in the bill that
all of the Senate amendments save one Will
succeed In finding place in the act when
the President by his signature makes 1t a
law; the exception is the amendment which
strikes out the House provision for the
raising of the Great Falls dam and subsu-
tutes therefor an appropriation to defray
the expenses of an investigation which is
entirely unnecessary so far as 1t relates to
the work upon the dam. Experts whose
opinions and conclusions may not be ques-
toned even by Congress have looked care
fully into the problem of this city's water
supply and have decided that the first
thing to be done is to raise the dam at
Great Falls: that would give to great
many people on the higher levels in this
city the water for which they pay but
which they do not get. Col. George III.
Elliot of the Engineer Corps-who knows
rs much about the Washington Aqueduct
as any other living being-is emphatic IN
his declaration that unless the dam Is
raised the city of Washington will be COM
PEELED to endure serious water idhiiie'
Already is there a most uncomfortaple
shortage. and this will be painfully ana
growingly apparent during the summer
months There Is demand for n speedy
remedy, and this, it is admitted, can only
be supplied by the proposition to which the
House of Representatives is pledged. There
is no necessity for such an investigation as
the Senate committee on appropriations be-
lieved to be proper. The Star has shown
most conclusively that all the facts that
could possibly be ascertained are already

There is point to the suggestion that the

Congress might easily spare little of
its time to the end that justice be done
clerks in first and second class post-offices.
There is now before the House bill which
has for its object a work of real reform
one which. IL put In operation, must surely
result in better service. Under the present
order. disorder, the clerk performing
certain work in one office often receives
but one-half the salary of a clerk who dis
charges similar duties in another city,
while instances are very plentiful of two
men working side by side on the same
kind of matter and of the two the less
capable receiving the larger salary. The
proposition now in the House-a PROPOSE
ton to make equitable equalization of
recompense-has the approval of the Post
master General and the House committee
on post-offices and post-roads.

While the District of Columbia dollar-gas
bill slumbers in the United States Senate,
the New Jersey legislature Is wrestling
with a similar proposition. Information
laid before that body is to the effect that
gas Is being made in Philadelphia under
contract for 30 cents thousand feet and
Is being supplied to consumers in Louisville,
KY, at 80 cents a thousand. 1t does not
seem to be questioned In the legislature
that dollar gas is an easy possibility; the
only difficulty is as the amount of security
to be pledged by the gas companies that
are willing to supply the people of New
Jersey with cheaper illuminant than they
now have.

He was leaving the crowd where the
theater tickets for big engagement were

An Appeal.

Oh, weather man, high up unfold
A more benignant flag at last;
Oh let our frost-dimmed eyes behold
The blizzard signal at half-mast!
Send hence in great repentant tears
The snow which nips our feet and squeaks
Derfsively to mock our fears
OF frozen water pipes and leaks.
Unfold the banner, which foretells
A genial jocund atmosphere
Whose undulating grace dispels
The thought of chilblains lingering near.
This country sometimes makes a mess
OF diplomatic enterprise;
On currency Its every guess
Has been fulfilled contrariwise.
And other things have gone awry,
Yours Is the chance-don't let 1t slip
To square us in the public eye
With better extraordinarily.

An Apron Which Is serviceable As Weu

 "A very serviceable and pretty gift for young mother who presides at pink and-white bit of humanity's daily bath, is suggested in the accompanying il. lustration. We will call 1t mother" apron. It is white and yellow, and at first sight some prudent sister may pro nounce 1t much too delicate and dainty for everyday use and everyday splash ings; but it win wash almost as well as the baby who sits on it and tries to ad- mire it-besides, is angtatng too dainty for that same babys use?. The materi- als are fine, soft, white cotton-and- wool flannel, broad yellow ties, and "wash" embroidery silk to match. It is about yard wide, and as long as tho big or little mother who is to wear 1t. A three-inch hem is turned up at the bottom, and a very narrow one at either side. At the head of these hems, all around the apron, extends a line of lovely yellow feather-stitching. The top of the apron is turned down and cross-stitched, making room for the inch-and-a-half yellow ribbon to run through it, in lieu of q belt. The hand somer, heavier and longer the ribbon, the better. The creamy flannel and golden yellow trimmings take very
