From several parts of the city and from suburbs that are practically within the city,* although shut out by an Imaginary line, there huve recently bean transmitted to the District Commissioners petitions asking for Increase in the foree?human and mechanical?of the Are department. This la the season of the year when estimates are prepared for presentation to the Secretary of the Treasury and to Congress, and although both the executive and the legis lative branches have been inexcusably nar row In their treatment of the national capital, the Commissioners should not per mit themselves to be discouraged by past experiences. There has been altogether too much of diffidence in the matter of esti mates, too much of unsound consideration given to the possible reception of those cal culations by the supervising and appropri ating authorities. Times without number, the Commissioners have refrained from asking for something that was needed; refrained merely because they felt con vinced that Congress would not authorize the expenditure. There should be none of this In the future. The needs of the city? and nothing but the needs?should be plainly set forth, and there should be unbroken Insistence in behalf of the estimates until Congress takes flnal action. Especially should this be so as to some of the more Important municipal features, and among these none Is more conspicuous than the Are department. Few cities have grown more steadily than has Washington, but the equipment of this vital necessity Is away toward tne rear end of the procession. To afford the citizens the degree of protection from tire to which the taxes they pay entitle them, there should be here at least fifteen first-class steam fire-engines, each operated by a full complement of well-trained men. Additional hook-and-ladder companies are also wanted, but up to this time the appeals of Chief Parrls have apparently been unheard by those who alone are empowered to make response. Recently the weakness of the fire department has been demon strated in a manner truly awful. It Is weakness of a variety that need not exist; a weakness that can be removed entirely by Congressional appropriation of a sum of money sufficient to provide the number of engines and men needed. For its size, the District fire department is undoubtedly at the height of efficiency, but Congress will be guilty of criminal negligence If It expects the department to do continuously twice as much as can reasonably be required of It. A general alarm now calls Into service every available engine. Should another fire break out after the sounding of a gen eral alarm, the second conflagration?no matter how serious It might be?would necessarily be permitted to proceed. Some of these times a blaze will start in one of the big government buildings and after great damage has been wrought, and papers that cannot be replaced have been destroyed. Congress may come to the conclusion that it Is simple economy to give this city a fire-fighting force commensurate In num bers and equipment with the Importance and extent of the city. But in the mean time. the horse will have been stolen. This is the time to lock the stable door. m * m ? "Government employes at the Mint In this city are being assessed compulsorily for partisan purposes. The demand comes from the "rlngsters, roosters and ruffians" de nounced by the democratic candidate# for governor at the time he abandoned the field." Tnus alleges the Philadelphia Press. There Is nothing indefinite about the charge: It is precise and to the point, and there is behind the accusation testimony that will surely receive consideration at the hands of the Civil Service Commission. The Press says that the demands made upon these government employes are exorbitant and ex acting; a specific percentage Is required and tomorrow is named as the last day up<>n which payment must be made. It is probably too late to prevent tte collection of the considerable sum of money which Is to be taken out of the pockets of those who, in the main, are unwilling contributors, but the punishment of the robbers can follow so swiftly upon the heels of the crime as to nullify the value of the money for campaign purposes. The Press is a republican paper, but It would not put such a charge on file without having In store the evidence to make It good. The Civil Service Commission should Icok Into the matter. Responsibility for steady reduction of the force at the government gun-foundry In this city Is probably with Congress and It tray be that the discharges which have taken place could not be avoided by the Navy Department, but It does seem to be a pity that so many skillful workmen should be thrown out of employment at this un promioing season of the year. The supply of heavy ordnance Is a long way from being equal to the demand, yet the government deliberately cripples itself where It needs to be strong. Not even in the most famous of Europe's gun foundries has there been done work equal In quality to that turned out of the converted Washington Navy Yard. To damage such an Institution by the wholesale discharge of men who have become experts In their several lines Is a blunder. We are consistent, though, even In our blundering; the "penny wise pound foolish" policy ha3 prevailed In govern mental matters for many years. The number of men employed upon the City Post Office building today was 51; a considerable Increase over any recent force. It Is possible that 51 men, of steady habits and fairly skillful, could bring about com pletion of the structure by November 4, 1808. But they would have to hustle. The dally averag? up to this time Is. however, still low. and the present outlook is not favorable for a post office In working order at an earlier date than August 17, lttOtj. Intense partisans may find something of satisfaction in the i-mashlng of reciprocity treaties by the clenched fist which Is un fortunately conspicuous In the tariff law. but broad-minded Americans who would desire the extension of American commerce cannot be otherwise than disturbed at the turn busln ss affairs are taking under the operation of the new statute. In the flour nilllng centers?notably Minneapolis?there Is much of warm comment over the fact that the big line of business which had been worked up with Cuba Is at an end. Under the treaty negotiated by Secretary Blaine there wis Cuban de.ty of SI per bar rel on flour. At that figure the market wax entirely In the hands of the United States, n.uch to the dl3gust and financial Ijss of Canadian and European competitors, but as non as tho recently-enacted tariff law Bint Into effect, the duty on flour was raised ?o per barrel. That rate of duty, of cours*. affects merely the United Btatew. there being r.o change In the duty levled upon flour going in from other coun tries. Home people may affect to believe thut It la good politics to undo everything wMMUBiiahad Uv a. ooliticai rival, but, after a few more of such lessons as comes to us from Cub*, the American farmer?who will get less for his grain?and the Ameri can miller?whose output and profits Will be diminished?are likely to show the fool ish politicians how extreme Is their folly. This Is probably the only country in the world of which it may truly be said that It Is without mercantile patriotism. Other nations, no matter how administrations may change, exert themselves Incessantly to extend their lines of trade; some of them ?notably Great Britain?would go to war If the strife promised to Increase England's exports. Here we deliberately sever a profit able connection and overturn In a moment the work of years of diplomacy. It may be that somebody or some party will tem porarily benefit by the cutting off of Cuba as a market for American flour, bht the ad vantage thus gained, if there is any, will be more than offset by the popular resent ment that Is slowly but surely materialis ing. ?? ? ?? The Olympic club of New Orleans has for mally declared Fltsslmraons champion. It Is Interesting to figure on what they they would do should he show the same dispo sition to lie down on his laurels that Cor bett did. Senator Hill is never hasty In expressing his views for campaign purposes. It is understood, howevtr, that he still favors the unconditional repeal of the anti-snap per. Any lavatory indulgence shown Mr. How gate this time cannot with discretion go beyond a permission to have a private bath tub in his cell. The question of whether Mr. Hill was nominated by his friends or his enemies continues to be one of the topics of interest in New York. This is the glad time when every city In the base ball league looks forward to being the next proud possessor of the pennant. President Cleveland might write Mr. Hill a little letter with the pen with which he didn't sign the tariff bill. Mr. Jones of Nevada will be interested In observing certain very pronounced flop symptoms in Georgia. < ? ? Figures may not lie ordinarily, but there is likely to be a great deal of deception lurking around "18U0." Capt. Howgate says that Washington has greatly improved. It Is hoped that the cap tain has done the same. ? ??? a ? The cold blooded confidence with which they talk about filling Mr. Brlce's place in Ohio Is crueL Judged by the flowers and applause.

"Those beautiful green leaves, whose crisp rustle was full of the music of hope? "Gone. "And In their stead is a lot of yellow, life less, worthless trash. "That's what It is; trash!

O. m ? m "S. M." In Philadelphia Star. Washington is one of the few cities In the country that has successfully fought against the establishment of the overhead trolley within her borders. A big trolley lobby worked on Congress for several ses sions In the endeavor to secure favorable action, but were beaten at every turn. The main street line here Is run by the cable system. The next line In extent, known as the Metropolitan, after spending many thousands of dollars In testing the various motors, has adopted an underground trol ley, known as the Budapesth system, as improved by the system in use by the Gen eral Klectrlc Company of New York city. The Washington Star has fought the overhead trolley In the most determined way from the start. ? ?? > ? : ??Here Cornea the Bogle M?n." | From the New York Tribune. Senator Gorman of Maryland was chat ting with Senator Pugh of Alabama in the corridor of the Fifth Avenue Hotel yester day nfternoon when a Tribune reporter asked him: "Senator, what are the ad ministration democrats trying to do in some of your Maryland Congress districts?" "Oh." said he. with a quiet laugh, "they're making a few nominations. I'm going home in four or five days to see about it. At present I'm not well Informed on the exact condition of affairs down there, having been away some time. I've been taking a much needed rest, and I'm happy to say that I feel vastly benefited on account of it." *o I'm for Books. tVjm the PMladelpMa Ledger.
