1t is understood that the House Commit
tee on Rules has promised the Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds an oppor-
tunity to bring before the House legisla-
tive proposition which may result in au-
thority for the erection of a new Govern
ment Printing Office building. There is in
this announcement foundation for hope
that has been long deferred. OF course.

averse to purchasing the Malone property
but the thousands who are deeply inter-
ested in the safety and health of the men
and women who hourly run great risk Icy
remaining in the present structure are in
clned to the belief that harmonious con-
clusion may be reached before this session
of Congress comes to an end. To the gen.
eral public, as to the House, the Malone
site does not appear to be the best avail
able-as a matter of fact, it is not as good
as many others that have been offered
but the general public has no part in the
quarrel as to location; it's only demand is
for properly constructed building in place
of the health-wrecking shell that threatens
to collapse at any moment.

OF all the absurd canards that have come
to us from royalistic rumor-makers in the
Hawaiian Islands. none had in it more Of
ahsurdity thar the story which the San
Francisco Call prints as to the torturing of
prisoners by officials Of the Island republic.
II the first place, none of the happenings
alleged to have taken place could possibly
have occurred without being generally
known throughout the length and breadth
OF Honolulu almost Immediately; in the
second place, it would not be possible to
frame any excuse for physically torment
ing any of those who participated in the
rebellion, for from the time when it was
evident that all hope of successful re-
belion had departed there have been more
willing witnesses than the authorities had
time to hear. in the third place. the men
who are in control of governmental af-
fairs in the Islands are not savages, but
are as highly civilized in every respect as
any Americans. 1t is noteworthy that the
tortured rebel fabrication appeared orig
inaIly only in the San Francisco Call. The
Call is controlled by those members of the
Spreckles family who were implicated in
the rebellion, and who undoubtedly fur
nished the royalist party with the money
that was essential for the outbreak that
failed.

OF all the fatuous beings in the United
States none are more thoroughly 1ooiish
than those practical politicians in New
York state who are declaring war upon
NIavor Strong because that official declines

chine and Mr.. Platt. IAN eminent republl-
cam is quoted by a democratic New YORK

of this man and his fellow spoilsmen is not
wholly apparent in their agreement 10
make things as warm as possible 1or the
mayor who refuses to be dictated to by the
republican machine: much more of foolish
ness is to be found in the idea that the
overthrow of Tammany and Hiiiism III
New York was republican victory. Every
even-minded student of American politics
knows that while the republican party IN
New York was to a considerable extent the
beneficiary by the November elections, IL
was so not because the majority of the
pubIicans. but because the candidates of
the republican party in the state and the
candidates indorsed by the republicans IN
the CITY received the support of many thou-
sands of democrats who were bent on re-
beIlion on grounds of decency and honesty
and who would lend neither aid nor SYM

had proftably conspired against all that
was good in state and municipal govern
ment. Mayor Strong has offended because
he has selected as official associates and
sUhorClinates men who had not the 1ndorse-
ment of the republican machine, and In
doing so he gives pleasure to the cleanly
thousands who cast their ballots for him
because they believed he would do pre-
cisely what he has done. 1t would seem to
be to the interest of the republican party,
as a national organization, to hold to the

Washington has a very hearty welcome
for the National Council of Women-an
organization which is fully entitled to and
undoubtedly has the sympathy of every
American. without regard to sex, who is

tons that to greater or less degree OBJ
struct the forward movement of our civil
ization. Washington Is always pleased to
be polite to all the organizations that pre-
fer the national capital to all other cities
as a place of meeting, but 1t is especially
delighted to have within its borders so
many cultured women whose aims are
high and whose efforts are toward prac-
teal work. This country at this time has
it's share of theoretical philanthropists-
who are undoubtedly of value-but it is
also exceedingly rich in those who have
all the capacity necessary to apply much
needed remedies. and it is members of this
class that are in convention assembled in
this city. Much information as to the OBJ
jects of the council and those who will
participate in its sessions has already been
printed in The Star; ample reports of the
proceedings will appear from day to day,
and they will repay perusal.

In song and story the blacksmith has been
praised as the embodiment of strength and
goodness. There may have been occasional
Instances of bad blacksmiths. even wicked
ones. but song and story have never said
much about them. The whole family of
blacksmiths has always borne a most ex-
cellent reputation-in song and story. They
have posed as the village oracles, village
poets, village seers village benefactors. If
people were in trouble they inevitably

There were sixty-three men employed on
the new city post-otfice building today. 1t
would be possible to hide sxty-three men
on the skeleton of the structure Some of
these days this number will be quadrupled
or more and then it will seem probable
that the building may be completed before
the present century comes to an end. Two
years, eleven months and twenty-six days
have gone by since work on the building
was commenced, but the third story frame
work is still unfinished and at the present
rate of progress is likely to remain so for
quite awhile.

ing home after interviews with the tiger
in town went straight to the blacksmith
shop. Erring daughters made a confidant
of the smith. Would-be burglars whispered
their plans just behind his right ear, so
that he always arrived on the scene, armed
with his mighty sledge, just in the nick of
time to prevent the contamination of their
designs. The smith was an honored and
a useful institution, but now he is to be
stricken from his high place in society
and song and story-by the ruthless hand
of science. 1t is sad to learn that it is a
Boston man, too, who has made the device
that is to strip the blacksmith of all his
useful functions as the balance-wheel of
the community. He has invented scheme
for heating iron and other metals by i'm
mersion in water. An electric current is
turned on, and in some way or other-the
stricken heart, bleeding for the blacksmith,
cares not for details-the job is done. No
forge, no anvil, no mighty sledge, no dusty
bellows to pump, no brawny arm, no nice
SCOT to sit in while the tale is told. Moth
ing, Why, then, blacksmith? Why con-
tinue the institution? The day has appar-
emily come for the parting of the ways
Society and the blacksmith must be di-
vorced. The broken-hearted maiden could
never muster up courage to tell her story
while the smith fuses around with his i'll
smelling chemicals; the prodigal would
grow thirsty while his old friend watches
the galvanometer; even the village llar
would lose confidence as the artisan washes
his hands in perfumed soap TO start the
next job. The small boys would find their
occupation of bellows-ripping gone, and
would stand, lonely and desolate, about the
glazed door of the laboratory. wondering
if there was ever more to be any good in
anything Farewell to the blacksmith!

When skies are blue and winds are warm,
When tenderness succeeds the storm,
A whispered promise from each tree
Breathes forth, of beauty yet to be.
And hopes, which in the human breast
Seemed buried in eternal rest;
Quicken and promise life anew.
When winds are warm and skies are blue.
