The Geographic report published yesterday
of the horrible explosion of acetyiene gas at
New Haven, Conn, confirms the statement
made by The Times in defeating the attempt
to organize an acetylene company in this
city, that 1t is a dangerous and delusive
illuninant 20 trifle with. The explosion
caused the death and manning of a number
of persons and entirely destroyed the build
ing used for experimenting with this new
gaseous product. A result that clearly
indicates the risk there is in handling it.
Had it not been for The Times the acetylene
humbug would have been located in WASH
ington, and the public would have had
opportunity 10 be blown up by this "most
powerful light known" as well as to
verbally blow up the Star and the Post for
indorsing such a dangerous and deceitful
scheme.

affairs in the hands of such men as Mr..
Dockery. The poor women, sacrificed to
experiment with his new system of CON
Quoting department affairs, might better
have been kept at work. as it has proved
to be a failure in many essential points,
and the diminished force of clerks has had
be increased to properly take care of the
Government business.
1t is right to conduct the affairs of the
Government on business principles. But
the public does not want any Carnegie
philanthrophy that cuts down wages to
build churches, nor sweatshop methods that
compels employees to sleep under bridges
and eat grass TO keep within their incomes.
Honest work for honest pay is the motto
that should govern the relations between
Uncle Sam and his employees, and perhaps
after a time other. employers may be able
to see that this policy brings better re-
turns to both wage-earner and employer.

W HE interest in the question OF postal saw
ings banks seems to be steadily grow
ing. and il would not be surprising il
some legislation was enacted at this COM
ing session looking to this end. Already
four bills have been introduced providing
for a system of postal savings banks, and
the committee on postoffices and postroads
has given n hearing on one OF them. Peti-
tions have come in from labor organiZa-
tlons all over the country favoring such a
measure. and the Postoffice Department
will probably be asked to make report
upon the feasibility of the scheme. 1t is
said that this is not an experiment, but
that it has been successfully tried in many
important countries.
Whether such 4 measure can pass Congress.
however. is a matter of doubt. The great
objection is that when the country again
gets on a good financial basis 1t would
have no need of the two or three hundred
million dollars collected through these
postal agencies, and would at the same
time have to pay 2 or 8 per cent interest
upon it. Unless some plan could be de-
vised for safely investing the money de-
posted with Uncle Sam, the ynderta king
would be a losing one. The strongest adj
vocates of postal savings banks are laboring
men and women. who have been swindled
through the dishonest manlpulations of
private savings banks.

The joint resolution introduced by Sena-

Tins back on daily wages should immedi-
ately be adopted by Congress. 1t does
not necessarily follow that because large
number of people are out Of employment
that Government departments should be
run on the narrow shaving principle. The

are evidently not conversant with this fact
or they would not ask helpless women to

Mr.. Sherman has agreed to a change
of committee rooms. Ever since the Senate
has occupied the north wing of the Capitol
the Committee on Foreign Relations has
occupied the SAME room. But 1t is to
change. MIR. Sherman and Mr.. Walcott,
OF the Committee on Post Officers and
Post Roads, have agreed to swap. The move
is to be made at once.
Mr.. Jones, OF Nevada, prefers the Maltby
to q small room In the Capitol, so the
Committee on Contingent Expenses goes
over there. The old room is taken by the
Committee on Enrolled Bills. Fisheries also
goes to the Maitby, and its old room is
taken by Patents. 8
Mr.. Lodge also prefers the Maltby, and
has taken his committee, Immigra tion,
from the terrace over there.
This Is the first time in the history of
the Senate that any important committees
have gone to the Maltby.

p FKW WORDS
TO OUR
BUSINESS MEN.

The Times once more calls
your attention to the circula-
ton figures that are daily pub
liShed in this column. The
number of those who read the
peoples popular penny paper
seven days in every week is
many thousands greater than
is enjoyed by any paper
published in Washington. In
fact no daily paper in this
country so thoroughly covers
the territory in which it circu-
Iates as does The Times.
The class and character of
this circulation. notwithstand-
ing the SneerS of an envious
rival, is represented by the
best people of the Capital City.
those who earn their money in
Washington and spend it in
Washington. Are not these
the people you want for your
customers? Think-and when
you contemplate placing your
advertising contracts. remem-
Der that THE TIMES will
reach the people you want to
know BETTER and CHEAPER
than you can reach them
through any other medium in
this city.
Fifty cents per month for a
complete eight-page Morning
and Evening Paper and a
splendid twenty-page Sunday
Edition, delivered to any ad-
dress, is the power that will
keep this great mill grinding
and growing.
If you are among those who
have not as yet personally be-
come acquainted with the
strength of The Times as

address a note to The Times
and one of its representatives

over with you.

will keep pace with the lower in the trans
action OF business and that they will both
be ready to adjourn by July l If not con-
siderably earlier. 1t is known that Mr..
Reed has been planning ever since the last
Congressional election. when it was assured
that he would be the next Speaker, to
make the first session very short one.

7HE Populist members of the lower
branch of Congress got rather out Of
patience with Mr.. Reed recently. and
Representative Bell and several others OF
that party waited upon the Speaker TO
have an understanding. They suggested TO
him that while they represented party
that cast 1. ESQ, COO votes at the last Presi-
Dental election. and even a larger vote at
the last Congressional election. in propor-
ton to the vote cast. they had not been
considered an integral part OF the minority;
that they had been placed on NJ committee
where they could have any part upon the
floor. and, not only that, but the Speaker
had declined to recognize any of them 10
speak upon the bsnd and revenue bills.
This they considered unjust discrimination.
Mr.. Reed is a Stfy polite man, and he
replied that In t.ie9eonfusion OF the organ
ization he had MT thought OF giving the
Populists recognition in the proportion to
the votes they had east at the election, but
merely In proportion 10 the number of peo-
pie they actually represented un the floor.
He said that he was inclined tn admit that
there was something in the CHIN made by
the dissatisfied Populisis, and his failure
to recognize any OF. them in the bond and
tariff discussinu was an oversight which
he regretted. He assured them uf complete
Justice IN the futHre.
