Cheaper and Better Gas. The* Mouse District committee's hills. t> dwcirig tin |>i ice ni' gas to so cents and prohibiting a»> increase of the gas com pany'f capitalization without the consent of < 'ongress. give a good start to the legislation fi r which the community is lioping. It hail been expected that as a result of th" recent hearings the House committee, acting on the theory that fongri.-s had by its previous action clearly *iml vatcd that it reserved to itself the exelusive right to increase this capitalization. would report specifically whether any such increase should at this time lie made. and. if an affirmative decision was reached, either provide for such increase or lay down the basic principles upon which -t should be calculated. It 's apparently the committee's idea, however, to leave the question of increased capitalization to be raised by the Senate and to tic adjusted in conference. If the enactment of the desired legislation will tie expedited by this method of handling the question, the people of Washington will approve. Kxperience in the successive effective Agitations^in the past for better and cheaper gas. in all of which The Star l as actively participated, suggests that . the greatest obstacle to overcome is inaction, delay, congressional inertia, and that often the surest way to accomplish results is for the House to adopt some simple, even radical proportion <as an amendment to an ap' lx.ll if nnrovcarv "i a nd thus: |_M «-"!»! lauvu I'm, 11 «« *-v *_ V.JI*» J r «» « tiuichly carry the measure into conference, where all equities may be thoughtfully adjusted. The people of Washington want, first. the test il! uminant that can be made ear* r>i:ig a minimum of the. noxious gases that threaten life or mingled with smoke discolor and destroy property. They want tlie safest illuminant supplied at the -cheapest possible rate, and they know fhat with the improvements in the methods of production the cost of making .gas has decreased, and the revenues from bv-products increased. They want acqurate meters to measure their consumption of gas. and they want an inexpensive and impartial judgment upon . the question of accuracy when it is raised. Finally, they want no overoap lUilization to raise entities in behalf of the widow and orphan which will tend to postpone or prevent the natural cheapening of the price of gas or the expenditure of large sura-' in necessary improve ments of its quality. ... Stating its own grievances the com**pary contends that it is now undercapitalized; and that in common fairness if Congress will permit no one else to Increase this capitalization it should proceed at once itself in a general adjustVment of equities to put the company's ^Capitalization upon a just basis. 1 ndoubtedly in the final legislation on the subject Congress in assuring better S"d cheaper gas to the consumer will fl(»n V t hr< cAmnanc'o «i,.. , -. «.«««_ < - mii pn»i« '»iiirilU"ii UlctL It is undercapitalized to its injury, or, ^conceding the company's claim, will take '!the trouble in the public interest to fix h "^figure or a basis of increased capitalization which will be absolutely fair both to the corporation and to gas-consumers and the community. / Money Needed to Raise the Maine. Another hitch occurs in raising the >1 aine out of the mud of Havana liar- bor. Sentimental and commercial reasons uicf- that the wreck should be removed and the bones of brave men probably resting in the hulk recovered and given honorable interment. The neglect of this historic rum is a national reproach, and the wreck is an impediment to navigation as well as an eyesore. The present hitch is because of an inadequate appropriation for the work of removal. The I.oud nill authorized the Secretary of War and the chief of engineers of the army to proceed with the work and appropriated Sl«#>,ooo. Gen. William I.. Marshall, chief of engineers, reP'-rts that the sum mentioned is not sufficient for the construction of coffer dams. wnifit norK is preliminary to the raising of the wreck. This matter of the raising of the Maine is an example of the cumbersome process of legislation. The people of the I'niteii State> overw helniinaly <lesire that this work he done, t'uba also wishes it. The cost of the undertaking is by no means burdensome. The loll went through the 'Senate in March and was passed by the House in May only four members of tne Ilouse voted against it. This was the result of years of agitation in behalf of .1 pi'Mt t uhbli nearly everybody favored and few opposed. * Congress should promptly in< rease the . a P. ropnatioi and !« t the good work proi «u d. With a'undan- p- and a good market. the farmer enabled to draw a fill t Vi f«kn thn iiltimoto consumer and t i primary producer. . » . » The Sulzer Gubernatorial Boom. Ther* is .1 Sutzer hooni for Governor of New York. Its proportions are not known. The possibilities are yet to be ue\eloped it is in energetic iuinds, and we -lionId know more about it in a few months. M Sulaer is nearimj the fifty mark, looks youngee. and looks also, as his admirers believe, like Henry flay. He has rved m the New York legislature.one term as speaker.and continuously in Congress fe>r sixteen years. He is popul.i , industrious, a good sjieaker. and a "capable politician. His rewards in the »-House b»»\e not met his desires, or. as h - friends think, his deserts, fie has iif(r been able to reach w ays and nieiic 11< is at present a member of t'. eonni»itte« on military affairs. 'it I'm >« < r« of regularity Mr. Sulzer has i o;d without a scratch. When .New Y -idemocrats 1»> the thousands in t!ire« campaigns turned away from Mr. Bryan he stood fast. Li\ing in a - gold territory lie swallowed fret silver at the party's behest without a grimace. \Yh»n Tantmauy men under Mr. Fitz. gerald's leadership went to Mr. Cannon's m help last spring, Mr. Sulzer stood with Mr. Clark. Nor time, nor tide, nor discouraging circumstance has so far weakened his faitli in his party. Adopting the praise bestowed upon a well known preparation, he is among democrats "the stickiest sticker that ever stuck." Prominent among Mr. Sulzer's New ^ urk friendstis Richard Croker. It was the Croker influence that made him speaker of the New York assembly, and tiiat introduced Jiim to Congress. When Mr. Croker \isits Washington during a sitting of Congress Mr. Sulzer takes Ins arm and shows him around. Mr. Hearst is another friend. While lashing Tammany Mr. Hearst has never wound his whip around Mr. t Sulzer. The two men are on good terms. But tiie Question comes up, how will Charles F. Murphy view this boom? lie is the leader ut Tammany, and as such has much to say about what Tammany men shall, or shall not, receive. lie gives. and he .takes away, and makes no apologies for turning men down. Boitrke v oekran had some views of his own and voiced them, an\l Mr. Murphy retired him frum Congress. In explanation Mr. Murphy merely said, "Cockran is not a democrat.'' .Now if Mr. Murphy vetoes the Sulzer boom will it die'.' If lie supports it wiL it thrive, and absorb all other booms? Mr. Sulzer ts a Tammany man, and .Mr. .Ylurpny is fas chief. As a rule, tne word of the boss goes, it will require courage for Mr. Stilzer to keep the Held if Mr. .Murphy lrowtis and says no. And more than that. It Mr. Sulzer should defy Mr. Aburphy in the matter ol the governorship and then tail to score, uugnt lie ;Xioc jose 11 is-seat 111 the House.' Change of Date Defeat. The defeat of the change of date proposal is viewed with regret not only iii »v ashipgton, out in otner parts of tne country, it was one ut tnuse instances in whicn Congress was not responsive to the general public will. Tne Scranton 'tribune, after reviewing the cogent reasons for advancing tne uate of inauguration to a tairer season, says: "The result of the vote in the House upon tot- proposition io change me uate ci tne presidential inauguration is a surprise tnai w 111 oe received wiln i-p^r^i Mil nivr tiiM rminirv. 'l ne ntj- maim tor a niange iiun would mane me swearing jn ui" tne l'resiuent oi uii V niieu »iates a less nazuruous perlormancb oas been a popular one. t rom no seeuon ot me country nas mei'u oeen any "opposition nianuestea to inm measure, in tact, Congress nas been universallj conuemneu tor tailing to take action upon the matter ere this, i lie Senate some time ago manifested its approval oi tne plan, and few doubled that the House would fail to pass the resolution necessary to put the matter up to the people, or their representatives in state legislatures. \\ nat real objection the statesmen opposing this measure could offer It is difficult to imagine. It is safe to presume, therefore, that it might have been that of the small boy: "Just oecause." " The New Orleans Times Democrat observes that for years the present inauguration date has been objected to and has been protested against as too early and wholly unsuited to an openair demonstration. It understands that March is the worst month of the entire year in the National Capital, and that inauguration day three times out of four is stormy and blizzardy, with rain, sleet, ice and snow. Continuing, the Times Democrat says: "The change of the inauguration to a better day, say April or May, is so obviously advantageous in the public ini terest and in the interest of the health and comfort of the President, the high dignitaries of the country and the ambassadors and ministers to the I'nited States and the public generally, that it is difficult to conceive of what objection can be raised to it: but a very considerable number of representatives have objected, both democrats and republicans.for there is no possibility of sectional politics at issue, and the proposition for a change has been defeated. The opposition is somewhat difficult to explain." Expressions of surprise and regret come from innumerable sources that the greatest and most popular national event may not be celebrated in a propitious season. t Uses of the Comet. fomcts have their uses. Halley's, that flames in the western sky. perhaps, has been especially beneficial to the world. It rofiained from destroying <>r devastating the earth in spite of the efforts of some most distinguished and confusing scientists. It would have been rude and ungrateful in this comet to have upset or demolished mundane things in return for the attentions shown it by the humble dwellers here. There never was a better advertised comet. Newspapers have given it millions of dollars' worth of space. Some of the most gifted writers have sat mm hfo fnmnnsini' nrPSK nntioAs pnntnin- ins: the most authentic guesses. Many persons, some of whom cannot rouse themselves to any interest in local affairs, have been interested in tiie comet. This is one of the good things tiie comet has done. It has also lifted the thoughts of men to higher things than the cost of living. It h&s furnished some persons with a conversational theme other than the weather. It has caused some men to contemplate the Immensity of celestial things and the littleness of those things they usually think about. Mayor Gaynor of New York favors a safe and sane Fourth of July, and even his most captious critics fail to find any reason to suspect his motives There is a strong disposition to burden Thtodoie Roosevelt with the difficulties of tiie umpire before he gets through with the formalities of welcome. Some of the older towns that demand good roads within the city limits forget how serviceable cobble stones are in | keeping people awake. A demist 'nas opened an office in the cottage where Poo wrote "The Raven," thereby perpetuating the atmosphere of gloom and sorrow Only two pugilists rould have talked about each other as much as Jeffries and Johnson have done without starting several fights. Completion of the census taker's work will restore the small boy to bis leadrr ship as a propounder of embarrassing quest ions. Mr. Foss on Tariff Revision. Considered in the light of its author's political lareer, the speech delivered by Mr. Koss of Massachusetts in the House Saturday is- remarkable. Until a recent date he was a republican, in agreement with his party on all national issues. He was a New England protectionist. He indorsed the laying of duties so as to command the home markets for home products against foreign competition. He wanted the interests of the manufacturer- as well as the wage-earners considered. A tear or more ago the views of Mr. Koss on the tariff question underwent a change, lie came to the conclusion that in many things protection had done its ; legitimate work, and that a longer application of the policy to those things was unjust to the general interests of the i country. Unable to bring his party at i home around to his views he left it, and / has since been affiliating with the democrats. He speaks now as a democrat, and in a tone entitling him to a place among the leader§**>f that party. William R. Morrison and Frank Hurd would rejoice in his society, and Henry Watterson and William J. Bryan can well afford to do so. A striking suggestion made by Mr. Foss is that a special session of the next Congress should be called for next spring to revise the Payne law. He thinks the law's deficiencies are widely confessed, anil should be promptly remedied. Why delay? of course Mr. Foss expects the next House to be democratic, and that, he thinks, will testify to the country's displeasure with the Payne revision. But if the democrats score in November will the President construe the. result as Mr. Foss suggests? Will he feel himself instructed, by the country to reopen at once uic lai in controversy in i ongicss. There are features of the J'ayne law which he does not like, and coq'd he have controlled matters they would not have been adopted. -But matters were beyond his control. He had to accept a bill with those features incorporated, or veto the perforrrfance of Congress and leave the tariff question in the air for at least twelve months, and maybe longer. So he took what he could get at the time. Mr. Foss supports the Presidents request of Congress for an appropriation enabling an inquiry into the costs of production of manufactures both at home and abroad. But the President thinks the work will occupy several years, while Mr. Foss would seem to demand the figures as early as next spring. What but agitation would come of an attempt to revise the Payne law practically on the eve of a presidential election, with the House controlled by the democrats, the Senate by the republicans, and a republican who signed the law sitting in the White House, it is difficult to imagine. But Mr. Foss' suggestion is interesting. and it may find a wide eclio when democratic spellbinders take the stump. Taggart. For a boss without a machine. Mr. Taggart is a very active man these days. And of course Mr. Taggart has no machine. because after he had defeated himself for senator by nominating his friend John \V. Kern lie told the democratic state convention that his machine had gone to the scrap pile. But, machine or no machine, Mr. Taggart is practically in charge of the Kern candidacy, and if Mr. Kern wins he will know and remember his creator in the days of his senatorship. Even a typhoid germ must feel itself the moral superior of a man convicted of the crime charged against Dr. Hyde. Halley's comet may yet be able to prove to an interested public that it is nut chiefly a press agent creation. Fortunately for the public, a circus is not as dependent on the weather for effective display as a comet is. The question of when a straw hat shall appear lingers in the list of unsettled controversies. The theory is that the sugar scales were made to falsify by a little bit of crooked wire pulling. I'nmarried women are permitted to vote in Iceland. Yet Iceland women get married. The TAwler-Glavis affair appears to be a sort of sub-controversy. SHOOTING STARS. BY PHILANDER JOHNSON.

Alexander Hamilton wrote Washingtun's farewell address,'' says the Springheld Republican. We challenge tnat able newspaper to prove the statement. The -ddress was long in preparation; it was rewritten over and over again; Washington took counsel with several advisers, with Hamilton more often than with any other, and Hamilton certainly made additions, corrections and suggestions, some of which were adopted and some of which were rejected, but If there is any evidence which justifies the assertion that Hamilton wrote it that evidence lias eBcaped our careful search.
