EVENING STAR. | WASHINGTON: } WEDNESDAY.. Febraary 23, 1976. CROSBY 8 NOYES........Edltor, Ber Circulation More than Three | Times that of any other Daily Pa- ——-«+e-- The Taropike Evil. One of the most important of the great Works of improvement within the District, executed within the !ast half-dozen years, bas been the building of gout roads leading to the country, and the abolition of the turn: pike men, whose presence as toll-gatherers upon reads so vile that man or beast could scarce make ® way over them, was simply highway robbery. The vigorous measures by whic these chartered robbers were dispossessed, and good roads established, rid the District of a long-reated wrong. and secured to it for all time the inest!mable advantages of affording free and conventent access by countrymen to the city with their produce at all seasons of the yer. How great an evil we aro thus happily rid of is to be seen when one crosses the river into Virginia, where the termpike nuisance is still in fall force, 2nd the turnpike highwaymen are still Equatted securely upon every road; hindering travel to the cities of the Commonwealth by levying heavy tolls for the right of way over tracks almost impassable for two-inirds of the year. Those who undertook to goto Alex- aday over the Washington and Alexandria “Turnpike,” had a realizing fense of the drawbacks of turnpike travel. The road, uniformly execrable, becomes an almost unfathomable quagmire near Four- Mile Run. Vehicle after vehicle was staiied here, and the oceupants—tiaiies as well as Mmen—were compelled to alight in this fright. ful beg, and extricate themselves as best they could. And yet the inevitable tarnpike Mab Was on band at the Kun to demand a toll for passing over this infamous road. But this is not an exceptional case. We believe there is not a road leading out of Ai exandria that is not cursed with a turapike bar, and all of these roads are so bad that countrymen, instead of being taxed, sly be paid a premium for risking their perils. erpecial Alexandria lable public spirit in many ways, ar entered wi upon the task of winning beck the former prosperity of the piace.

The Congressional Committee on the Dis- trict continued its iny ation this mors ing. As will be seen by our report elsewhere, Messrs. Fitzpatrick, Blake and Dr. Johnson Were examined. General Birney submitted for examination all the original documents showing the action of the Commissioners in regard to contract No. with @ brief ab- Stract of them for the Record. [t was the gen- eral opinion, we believe, of those present that the charges of favoritism were fully answered, and the action of the Commis- sioners in the matter was vindicated. Dr. Jobnson testified that, as president of the Tax-payers’ Association, he had sent a letter to the Commissioners protesting against the payment of the counsel fees of attor- . Beys in the Congressional investiga- tion of 74; and that they had trans- mitted the protest to the Board of Audit as the only tribunal having jurisdiction It is true that the Commissioners had no legal right to act on the claim, that the Board of Audit had exclusive jurisdiction and was quite independent in its action of theCommissioners. The erroneous supposi- Uon that the Boar of Audit was part of the municipal government and subject to con- trol of the Commissioners has led to many mistakes and no little confusion of ideas. In all this investigation it mast be borne in mind that the Board of Audit was appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate, and was as independent of the Dis- trict Commissioners as the Secretary of the Treasury. The investigation as to couuse; fees will be resumed to-morrow moming. Senator Sharon, of Nevada, ia what might be called @ “silver redemptionist,” and very appropriately so, coming as he doas from the “Silver State.” His {dea is to sell five Per cent. bonds in foreign markets, aad re- deem £190,000,000 of outstanding greenbacks im silver atonce. In a recent conversation be said:—“I do certainly think we should ba better off if financial matters were suifered to take care of themselves. There is too Much tampering with something which no human skill can regulate. Sell bonds enough toretire the greenbacks, and jet the commer- celal interests and the relative value of gold and sliver take care of themselves.”* +222 It bas recently been stated that many of the citizens of Brooklyn,on account of the high price of gas, have removed their meters ‘and are now using !liaminating fluids of dif- ferent kinds. This is not to be wondered at since a recent examination of many meters by the state inspector showcd that every one Of them registered fast, or in favor of the gas company—some registering ten per cent. too much, some thirteen, and some even more than that. In one instance @ prominent builder, who suspected that his meter must be wrong, had it tested, and found it thir teen per cent. too fast. He had used this meter nine years, and demanded a rebate for that time. The gas company seeing the cer- Uficate offered him a rebate for five months, butno more. He refused, and threatens to sue for a balanceof $150. In another instance @ dry goods merchant, well-known in Brook- lyn, bad bis meter tested, and found it ten er cent. too fast. He notified ihe gas com- pany and they offered to compromise, but Would not pay all the cousumer dgmanded. ——-<se-_— Far-off Egypt will take no mean part in the Centennial exhibition.

Thus the policy and will of one country are sub- Jected to the policy and will of another.” ———— —- The detractors of Gen. Schenck, our min- ister to England, now have the opportanity of making another serious charge against him. According toa late letter written by Col. Forney from London, the General attended the walking match between Perkins and Weston, the English and American pedes- trians. The Colonel wonders whether James Buchanan while minister to England, with his chilling white cravat, or Charles Francis Adams robed tn his cold ancestral mantic, would have gone out like Robert U. Schenck to mingle with the boisterous and somewhat Perilous British crowd to offer comfort to a young American stranger in London, in the hour of his expected defeat, with no hope of his Ss triumph. 3 Lin BEFORE PaMcuRe ar, HAMBURG INSS§RTING. 3;200 yards in 4.434 and 5 yard strips at all the retsii ps CaLicone— *{,050 yards in m-diam colors at 5 cents: wort!
