4 Worthy Sunday-Opening Project,

Vice President Hobart laid before the
Senate Monday petition from the Ger
man American Union Of this city that the
Congressional Library. the National Mu-
scum and the Botanic Garden be opened
Sundays from l to 5 o'clock pm. This pc
tition is entirely reasonable and the re-
quest should be granted at once. 1t should
have been done years ago. for no good
reason has ever existed why these places
of public entertainment and elevation
should not be made accessible to the peo-
pie who cannot visit them save on Sun
day. The Botanic Garden has never been
of much use to the people at best. Es-
sentially a park, 1t has been closed at
the very time when it would be most en-
joyed by many thousands. The iron fence
around it should long ago have been re-
moved: indeed. should never have been
erected. The wholesome influences that
emanate from growing plants and rare
and beautiful flowers ought to be placed
within the reach of all. The same is true
in degree of the National Museum, where
stored a multitude of objects tending
to instruct and enlighten the people. This
establishment is also barred at the regu-
lar hours at which the government de-
partments are closed, thus absolutely pre-
venting access save by tourists or those
residents who have leisure. Much in this
collection deserves to be closely studied
by the people. and it would be a blessing
to thousands II the museum were opened
not only Sunday afternoons but also on
certain nights OF each week. The library
is another attraction now closed to the
people during the hours when alone at
tendance is possible to a majority Of the
people. An effort Is now being made to
secure its opening at night. but solely for
the purpose of permitting access to the
books. 1t Is not at present contemplated
that the entire structure will be thrown
open at night. and the Sunday afternoon
opening would give large crowds view of
the beauties Of the halls and rooms. The
refining influences Of art should be ex-
tended to the people at all opportunities.

The Belt Line COMPLICATIONS,

The affairs of the lexington and Belt
railway companies appear to be in a very
much tangled condition, with every pros
pect that the situation will grow more
complicated before order is resolved out
of chaos. There are two interests at stake
in this tumble, especially in that whic h
surrounds the affairs of the Belt road,
that must not be overlooked The riding
public will be greatly Inconvenience if
this road should be shut down in conse
quence Of the bad state of its finances
while the employees who have already suf-
fered serious cuts in their wages will be
left unoccupied at time of year when en-
forced leisure Is a serious matter. The
lexington road seems to be likely to
emerge from the troubles that have been
brought upon it as a result of the road
wrecking policy of it's late owners and the
public are now reasonably assured of a
move toward the equipment of that line
on rapid transit basis after a season of
legal untangling processes. The outlook
for any sort Of transportation facilities on
the line of the Belt road, however, Is not
bright. Along considerable stretch Of
this road 1t traverses territory almost I'M
approached by other lines and the people
of well-built sections depend upon 1t for
their sole means of convenient access to
the business parts of the city, bad though
its facilities are today. To stop the OPP
erations of the road In consequence OF
financial troubles now, when travel is
heavy, would be to inflict a severe penalty
upon the people who rely upon this make
shift of a road for their transportatio
1t is to be remembered that this conclu-
sion springs solely from the dog-in-the-
manager policy of the recent management,
that first bought the road from local own
ers. then deliberately sought to force troll
ley privileges from an unwilling public
and Congress. and, failing in that en-
deavor, successfully set about the wreck
ing of the properties for purposes best
known to itself. The unfortunate en-
ployes of the road have lost heavily, in
proportion to their means and needs and
it is to be hoped that in the reorganiza-
ton of the affairs of this line the arrears
of pay due these helpless sufferers will be
fully paid.

The Democratic Caucus.

The democratic members of the House, in

ed. adopted line of policy with respect to
the business to be presented at this session
OF Congress which not only insures una
nimity of action on their part, but which
squares strictly with the partys record and
professions. This action, therefore, is well
worthy the attention of the majority of
the House and of the country, for in a
measure it outlines the democratic cam
paign in the Congress elections of next
year.
"A announcement is made against retiring
the greenbacks and Treasury notes. and

Systematic Charity.
From the Kansas City Star.


In Chicago what is called systematic
charity has become the rule. Systematic
charity is distinguished from the other kind
in being bestowed with knowledge and con-
sequently where it will do the most good.
In Chicago great work has been accom-
plished in the way of getting at the actual
Facts OF need, and in dividing the city into
districts for supervision and distribution.
Eight hundred men and women have given
their services free in investigating applica-
tions for aid. The result of the general in
yestigation so far is the discovery that fully
90 per cent of the needy of last winter have
disappeared, either from the city or from
the class of applicants. 1t is believed that
a large number Of men who were counted
as beggars a year ago are enrolled as work.
ers now. These Investigations are interest
ing as revealing the condition Of the coun-
try, and they aid the operation of true
charity, which should be turned upon the
center OF necessity as the hose is turned
on fire. Through the records of the
Provident Association the condition of the
mass of poor people in Kansas City is re-
corded from year to year, and those records
are beginning to serve as means of dis
tinguishing the worthy from the un-
worthy.

his sensibilities, and he decided to change
the entire scheme and substitute dressed
stone above the mezzanine story. This
was done. There was no Reimbursement
of the project, but the figures of the origf-
nal contract were amended. This involved
a heavy increase in the cost of the super
structure. 1t is thought that the deficit
now discovered is to be traced in part, If
not entirely, to the cost of this change.
Then came the alteration of interior plans
necessitated by the change in the purposes
of the government in the occupation Of the
structure. Originally intended as a city
post office. housing additional miscella-
neous bureaus, it was suddenly decreed by
the authorities that the structure should
be made into post office department build
ing, with the city post office as an incident
al annex. This made costly changes in in
terror arrangements necessary and added
to the total deficit. The amount asked by
the Secretary ought to be given quickly.
though the occasion might prof1tably be
made the basis of an analysis of the causes
that tend invariably to the delay of COM
pietion Of public buildings. Naval vessels
are not now thus delayed in their construc-
ton, though they cost as much and in some
cases more than land constructions. They
are given to single contractors to build.
and counterbalancing premiums and PEN
alties are provided for time saved or vast
ed. The result is that the government gets
the ships on time, and it waits meanwhile
long years for it's houses, while paying
rent for private accommodations. The fail
ure of the appropriation for this building
ought not to prolong the process of it's con-
struction. though it is experience that
much of the time lost in similar cases is to
be traced to this cause. Congress will find
some very interesting facts about public
architecture if it will sift to the bottom the
various reasons why Secretary Gage is now
compelled by circumstances over which he
has no control whatever to ask for s175 900
wherewith to complete the Washington
post office
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1897-12-15

and this library building is today one of
the greatest agencies in this direction that
the government maintains. The opening
time suggested by the members Of the
German American Union in their petition
Is reasonable. Four hours are asked with
In which the people may be allowed to
enjoy the benefits of art, horticulture and
science. The period is so chosen that 1t
does not encroach upon the church serv-
ices and thus the project cannot logically
be opposed by any religious influence on
that ground. The trustees of the Cor
coran Art Gallery Of this city have set the
government an excellent example in this
regard by throwing open that splendid
collection Of paintings and statues to the
general public on Sunday afternoons. The
petition handed to the Senate Monday
should be granted without demur.

A Dchcit That Tenche. n Lesson.

Secretary Gage is asking Congress for an
additional appropriation of $4,000 where
with to insure the completion of the post
Office building in this city. There have been
many causes contributing to this deficit
Primarily IL may be traced to the bad
methods in vogue in the construction of
government buildings. the system of piece
meal contracts, the semi-political scheme
Of supervision. the comparative lack of
business methods in various features of
the work. This Washington building is a
notable example of the how not to do it,,
principle upon which, it is to be feared the
governments architectural enterprises have
been managed in the past. Ever since the
work progressed sufficiently to develop
faults gross errors of superintendent and
construction have been revealed, and the
end is not yet. Time has been frittered
away most lavishly. Contracts have over
Tapped in such manner as to involve the
government not only In extra expense, but
In long delays. When the superstructure
was but barely begun somebody discoy-
cred that the original plan would involve
what to his taste would be a gloomy ap-
pearance for the exterior of the building.

struetion of the outer walls did not please

Names for Washington's Streets.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer
Congressman Dalzell introduced in the
House last week bill to supply respected
names to the Washington streets now des-
ignated by the letters of the alphabet Mr.
Dalzelfs purpose is a good one. The list
of names which he proposes to substitute
IS as follows:
Adams, Bancroft, Clay. Decatur Emer-
sen, Franklin. Grant, Hamilton, Irving,
Kane, Lincoln, Marshall, Newcomb Ogle-
thorpe, Perry, Quincy, Randolph, Stanton,
Taylor, Union. Van Buren,, Webster.
1t may be objected to this list that it is
an unequal one. Here are the names of the
very greatest Americans-Lincoln, Mar
shall. Grant, Hamilton. Webster-mingled
with other names of far less fame. On the
list are the names of Kane, FranklinTDeca-
tur and Stanton. all Of them connected by
birth or residence with Pennsylvania, Con-
gresham DalZelPs state, and yet Wayne
or Penn would have been more representa-
tive. There is little reason for selecting
names beginning with the letters by which
the streets are now called except to pro-
duce compromise which leads to results
that cannot be considered altogether sat
iSfactory.

Moving on the Squatters.

The Secretary of the Interior has in
formed the Senate of important action
taken by him in September looking TO
the relief of certain public spaces in this
city from corporate membranes. 1t is
TO be hoped that this move will be fol-
lowed at early day by prosecutions by
the Attorney General and by similar ac-
ton in the many other instances of street
appropriation by street and steam rail-
roads. The two cases pointed out by the
Secretary are by no means the only ones
deserving of vigorous remedies. They are,
perhaps, best known to the officials dur
ing late years for the reason that the citi-
zens have been most urgent in their de-
mlnds for the abatement of these par
ticular nuisances, but the records are
filled with suggestions and pleas by the
people for the removal of tracks from
large number of other streets and public
reservations. The items of complaint now
filed with the Attorney General are, first.
the unused tracks of the lexington street
railroad on New York avenue between 9TH
and 9TH streets northwest; second, the use
OF the public reservation at the intersec-
ton of Delaware avenue, H and 1st streets
northeast by the Baltimore and Ohio rail-
road. In the latter case action should have
bttA tdhtil IioitHS dSO- II ID
derstood by the citizens interested that
had it not been for the change in the Of
flee of Secretary of the Interior when Mr..
Smith was succeeded by Mr.. Francis some
thing practical would have been done to
force the railroad company off the govern
ment land at that point. The reasons that
then operated to suggest official interven-
ton to prevent further trespassing are
still in force. 1t is to be noticed from the
text of the Secretary's letter to the Sen
ate that he has acted under the require
ments of section 1918 of the Revised Stat
utes. which directs him Ito prevent the
improper appropriation or occupation OF
the public streets, avenues, squares or
reservations in the city of Washington be-
longing to the United States and to re-
claim the same if unlawfully appropriated"
He informs the Senate that he has re-
ferred the cases in point to the Attorney
General. recommending the institution OF
proper proceedings to carry out the law.
If in his judgment the facts presented
should warrant such course" There seems
to be no discretion In the Attorney Cen
eral in the premises, according to the di-
rect command of the statute. The Sec
retary's action in noting instances of tres
pass should be sufficient to cause the in
stitution of proper proceedings.
