definite was accomplished, but
promised to send the COM

mittee and have a full understand

tinuance Of the headquarters at
this place and said he would issue

The Earth Gfrdled.

The Universal Postal Congress that Is to
meet In this city next week is one of the
surest signs that the earth is today prac-
tically encirclcd by civilization. No higher
epitome of the worlds progress could be
presented than this great gathering of rep
resentatives of all nations seeking to per-
feet the already excellent plans for per-
mitIing the peoples of the earth to COM
municate with each other The advances
that have been made in postal facilities
during the past few years have been ex-
ceeded only by the advances in science,
which have themselves made possible the
rapid transmission of intelligence. The de-
velopment of steam power is the basis of
this progression. With the railroad on
land and the steamship on the seas 1t has
become possible to send a letter around the
world in a space of time that a few years
ago would have been regarded as utterly
beyond human or physical limits. The
postal union. however, represents more
than the mere mechanical advances. 1t
typfes the growth of that feeling known
as the comfy of nations, the logical ex-
tension of which must lead to condition
of unbroken peace, which. however far
away it may be in the actual probabilities,
is yet to be desired and to be maintained
as an ideal Naturally. there is an ele-
ment Of selfshness in the makeup of this
union. inspired by the desire for economy,
but the very coming together in harmo-
nious agreement on a business principle
such as that which governs the carrying
cf the mails is step toward a higher in
ternational standard. The United States
feels more than the usual interest in this
enterprise. for the suggestion which led to
the drafting of the original international
treaty came from an officer of this govern
ment. This country has had wide expe-
rience in covering great distances. and the
postal problems that have been solved by
1t nave given 1t an ample experience that
warranted it's taking the lead in such i'm
porta1t enterprises as the formation of an
International postal union. Its capital city
extends to the delegates about to assemble
here a cordial greeting

The ContaEious HospitulS.

The decision rendered Wednesday by the
attorney for the District in the matter of
the contagious hospitals practically insures
the erection OF those long-needed buildings
The law in the case was not wholly clear
IN view of the interference of two statutes
but 1t was plainly the intention of Con-
sress that the District should be no longer
without suitable places for the care of per-
sons suffering from such diseases as scarlet
fever and diphtheria- The question of the
location of the two buildings is of course
yet In abeyance. and Will probably not be
settled until the new board of Commits
sioners has organized II should not prove

cumstances. and it is to be hoped that no

Public CGnduifs Needed.

The people of the District are concerned
in the outcome of the contest between the
two rivals for the job of lighting the streets
by electricity during the coming fiscal year
only to the extent of hoping that good ser
vice will be rendered at a low cost, and
that there will be no further disturbance
of the street surfaces for the laying of
cOnduitS by private concerns Incidentally
it is more than likely that large major
ity of the citizens wish that out Of the
present complication caused by the offer
of one company to enter the field of the
other and TO do the work for about 10 per
cent less il permitted to use .ts rivals con-
duits will come a decision on the part of
Congress to provide at once for the install

TEN that has been promised from season

about lights. The claim of the United
States company that it has a legal right
If granted the contract. to use certain
ducts in the conduits of the Potomac COM
pany. is a matter for the Interpretation Of
the courts. and with 1t the citizens have
nothing to do. except as it casts light upon
the assertion repeatedly made that the alb
solute ownership of the conduits by the
District is the only satisfactory solution
will never be safe from constant up-turn-
ings long as the lighting contract is a
matter of annual contests. unless the work
is to be given to one company as a monop-
oily in return for the assurance against
such disturbances. 1t is undesirable ard
unbusiness-like that there should be two
complete equipments of conduits. Far bet
ter would be the laying by the District Of
a oil NIL al nd
stantially built. capacious enough to pro-
vide for the expansion of the city and its
needs. and available for all sorts of e!ec-
trio conductors. Then the District could
annually ask for bids from one. two a
dozen aspirants for the work of supplying
the current. and IN the light of the low
bids just submitted by the United States
company 1t is fair to presume that the
District could obtain the service for much
less than is now paid, besides receiving a
rental. PERHAPS. for the extra ducts in
the public Conduits Many observers who
do not agree that the city should do all
the work of public illumination admit the
economy of such plan. which secures
competition without annoyance. Spasmod-
ic efforts have been made from time to
time by Congress to reacn a satisfactory
settlement of this question through the ap-
pointment of a commission of experts who
should investigate into the whole subject
Whenever of late the question has caused
friction In connection with the appropria-
ton bills this suggestion has been resur-
rected and waved like the olive branch to
restore peace. 1t is time that 1t should be-
come fact instead of a mere promise. and
with every prospect that a long and bitter
controversy Is about to be opened between
the rival companies 1t is more than sea-
sonable that or both of the District
committees should move toward the con-
summation of this plan.

Pass the Tariff Hill

Two points now under discussion in con-

democratic members of the finance COM

a Movement Worthy of Success.

The movement just set on foot by the So
clety Of Washington Artists to provide
permanent and suitable gallery for the ex-
hibition of paintings and other works of art
is one that deserves not only the moral
support OF the public, but its active CO.
operation and liberal material aid. Such an
exhibition room has lorg been needed in
Washington, and its establishment will be a
substantial advantage. not to artists alone
but 20 every one who is interested in arr
or who desires the Improvement and eleva-
tion of the public taste. The exhibition
here of paintings by artists residing in
other cities will naturally stimulate QUE
local artists to better efforts. through op-
portunities thus supplied for study anu
comp irison and at the same time it will.
enable citizens generally to take more in
teiligent and broader views of art-adequate
facilities for which are now enjoyed only
by those who can afford the time and ex-
pense involved in visit to other cities
when exhibitions are open there. From
every point Of view, therefore, the move
ment deserves the success which The Star
hopefully bespeaks for It,

made until next year, and then not upon
the form the bill in incompleted state may
bear now. but upon its form as q law and
the result of a years administration Of
that law. But Senators desiring to speak
now will need no time for preparation.
The subject is so familiar to them in its
general aspects that 1t could be fully dis
cussed in an on-hand speech at q moments Q
notice.
The Star has no sympathy with the aver
age outcry against the Senate on the ques-
tion Of its procedure. That the rules of
that body need some amendment in the
direction OF expediting business Is plain
enough. and Is conceded by many ex-
perienced Senators themselves. But the
Senate even then should remain a forum
for full debate, and for the full and fair
development and application of the minor
ity's power. At the same time the coun-
try's impatience to see this tariff bill
become law and put into operation Is
natural and justified. All business interests
some of them vitally-are involved.
Heavy importations. made with the view
of escaping the new rates, are sending
gold abroad again. This can be stopped
by hurrying up the day for applying the
new rates. The motto ought to be:
Hours for legitimate debate. designed to
strengthen the bill. but not a moment for

REORGANIZATION of the Militia.

While practical test of the wisdom of
the orders just issued by the commanding
general of the District National Guard
cannot he had until an occasion arises for
the active employment of the militia. it
would seem from the terms of the orders
and the reasons assigned for them that
they ought to operate for the general i'm
provement of the guard, for Its increased
efficiency in emergency and for the econ
omy of its management. They tend TO
place the Guard on more business-like
footing. while perhaps detracting from its
appearance in parade. There are doubtless
some individuals who feel that they have
been hardly used. and in the case of dis
banded companies some dissatisfaction
may exist. but personal interests should at
all times be subordinated to the good of
the whole organization. which Is intended
as a defense against possible trouble in the
future

Representative John b. Corliss made a
queer argument against civil service at the
Columbian Alumni banquet last night He
said that the university draws largely for
students upon the departments. and after
a while the clerks will all be old men and the
supply will fall. The most ardent admirers
OF Columbian would hardly ask for the re-
peal of the civil service law so that young
men could be brought here to be educated,
and 1t might occur to some that the eff
ciency of the departments was considerably
increased by the work of well seasoned
clerks made especially effective by univer-
