New York's Gas INQUIRY.

A joint committee from the state legisla-
ture is now sitting In New York city to find
out all that is to be learned about the meth
DDS and rates and contracts of the gas mo-
nopoly. against which there has been a
loud clamor of late. 1t is going at the task
with directness that assures interesting
IL not valuable results. One of it's first de-
clsions was to hold its sessions in the open,
much to the disgust of the gas combine s
attorneys, who moved for secret meetings.
This insures light for the community, as is
proper in case turning upon the wiles and
ways of a gas company. If the commit
tee proceeds throughout in this spirit there
should be some disclosures calculated to
cause the Tammany administration of the
big city much disquietude.

Sacrificing Men for Money.

The President and Emperor William fig
ure eonspicuously in all the talk about
peace. And yet the former is packing his
grip for an absence of some weeks from
Washington, part of the time to be spent
remote from the railroads, while the latter
is now absent from his capital on a sea
trip bracing up with salt water airs. Still,
If they are needed, a hurry call can be sent
and both men reached. Meanwhile the war
talk. which continues side by side with the
peace talk, tells of Russian preparations
for another stand by the army under Line
witch, and demonstration by the fleet I'M
der Rojestvensky. Are these sacrifices to
be made in an effort to defeat or reduce
the amount Of an indemnity? Are so many
brave soldiers and seamen to be offered up
in an attempt to save Russia's face in the
matter of dollars and cents? That, as Mr.
Bryan would say, is putting the dollar
above the man with vengeance. 1t looks,
indeed. as IL every Russian in uniform who
has fallen since the battle of Mukden might
fairly be charged as a sacrifice to the as
founding stupidity of authorities at ST.
Petersburg. glooming and incoming and

Buildings and Vistas.

Even while The Star yesterday was pro-
pounding the problem relating to the site
for the new Agriculture building a solu-
ton was being reached. The pits give way
before the moral force and the building
will be emplaced, according to the present
decision, off the medal line of 18th street
and on a lower level than that chosen by
the Secretary of Agriculture. The impo--
tant point about this action, as noted
yesterday, is that it ensures as far
as may be done by the executive, the adop-
ton of the Senate park commissions plans.
Yet in so doing II develops the fact that
the mmission Is not welded to the
vista principle, as might have seemed
from its insistence upon the Mall boule-
ward. In all the public pudding emplace-
ments in this city care has heretofore
been taken to provide that they shall be
situated upon the axes of the radiating
streets. The Capitol is the conspicuous
and central example. 1t can be seen from
all points of the compass. and this feature
of the city's plan is perhaps its chisf
charm. The White House sauarely blocks
the view down 18th street In a way to
make that thoroughfare one of the most
attractive in the city from pictorial point
of view. The city hail. or court house. the
patent office and the public library all
have their vistas. Why should not The

Frenzied Finance in Farce

AS there was every reason to expect,
frenzied finance has been dramatized. 1t
was produced in comedy form before a the
atrical dog last night up in New York
state and the rural critics pronounced it
great. But why a comedy? 1t is certainly
tragedy in its main aspects. Take, for
instance. that thrilling meeting between
Col. Greene and Col. Lawson in Boston, pre-
coded by a Observation-Disclosures exchange of
dispatches. How could any dramatist with
sense of proportion work anything funny
out of that? And the Chadwick chapter of
the same story is assuredly gloomy one.
But then the American stage is running to
farces anyhow. Next We know some one
will be building a musical comedy out of
Cipriano Castro or turning Rojestvensky
into a topical song.

Santo Domingo and Europe.

The Stars prediction made the other dav
will be fulfilled. No foreign power will in
terfere In the matter of Santo Domingo
while the United States is considering the
question of the settlement of that country's
Indebtedness. The presence OF an Italian
warship in the harbor of Santo Domingo is
peutralized by the call of the Italian am
bassador here at the State Department,
where he received the amplest assurances
as to the Italian claims.
We may expect some solicitude in Eu-
rope wherever Santo Domingo Is a debtor
1t may take a little time for our attitude
In the premises to become entirely clear
The workings of our government usually
require in particular cases explanations
over there. and It is easily to be seen how
this conflict between the President and the
Senate will lend itself to a confusion of
ideas in some foreign quarters. But the
atmosphere will clear as rapidly as Il Is an
preciated that the treaty between Santo
Domingo and this country Is still alive. and
still on the Senate's table awaiting action.
Nor will the fact escape notice that an ex-
ira session of Congress Is likely to be called
for October. and that the Senate's first
work in that case will be this treaty All
this will tend to assure the foreign eredi-
tors of Santo Domingo. and give her tenn
porary relief from their opportunities.
1t is also plain. as The Star at the same
time predicted, that the Presidents recent
action will be fruitful of much animated
discussion in this country. The note of OBJ
lection is sounded with much energy, and
by those WHO know how to conduct and are
sometimes very effective in controversy.
What Is being said Is based upon the propo-
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-03-31

sition that the President has f1outed the
Senate; that he Is doing Indirectly what was
not in his power because of the Senate to
do directly and that he is leading for a
warm scrap with the Senate when it re-
assemblies.
The first steps taken complicated this
whole case. They were nor happily d.
rected, or else were not happily explained.
At any rate, the Senate-the whole body,
and not the democratic membership alone
got the impression that the original pro-
gram excluded it from any voice in the mat
ter; and at that moment the negotiations
passed under the cloud of senatorial sus-
picion and dsfavor. This was most unfor-
tunate, and the more 50 because, as finally
submitted for the Senates Judgment, the
treaty proved to be in every way worthy of
it's approval

Governed by Commissions.
From the Independent.

Washington is governed and governed
well, not by the people, but by a Commits
sion. Ever since the great Storm five years
ago Galveston has been governed by a COM
mission of five men, and governed so well
that now Houston, city too heavily in
debt. is to try the same plan. The new act
legislates out all the present municipal off,
GERS, and puts the entire authority in the
hands of five men, with full power of re-
moval-so that the city will be governed
On business principles, just as is a bank
by its directors. If the people wish it so 1t
is as much popular government as it would
be if every officer were separately elected.

gested that the best results win flow from

Carrying a Gun.

From the Spartanburg Is. c. Herald.
What about the men who are tempting
themselves to avenge petty insults by deeds
of violence, tempting themselves by the fact
that they carry concealed loaded weapons?
Perhaps one man in a hundred will know
when the pistols use is necessary and
right; the other ninety-nine are under a
terrible temptation And the temptation is
stronger as the heart is weaker. And again,
as the heart is more cowardly, so it Is
harder and more cruel, and takes greater
delight in the destruction of its victim.
