CITY AND DISTRICT. CABLE ELECTRIC RAILROAD I's Provisions as tt Passed the Yesterday. AMENDMENTS WHICH WERE \DOPTED 4xD THOS WHICH WERE RFIECTRD—SOME roINTS FROM THA | DEBATR—GENERAL DISCUSSION OF THE SUBISCT OF | STREET RAILKOADS IN THE DISTRICT. ‘The Semate yesterday pased the till to incorpo Tate the Washington Cabie Electric Railway Co. of Me Districi of Columbla. Some committee amead- ents were adopted making slight changes in the West Washington portion of the route. “THE TIME FOR THE HORSE-CAR IS GONE.” AS stated in ye terday’s Stax, Mr. Vest offered An amendment proposing (o put the cable fran- chise up at auction under direction of the Com- missioners and the Secretary of the interior, the highest and best bidder to have the route. In sup- POF! Of his amendment Mr. Vest sald: “I am not hostile to a system of cable railways. I think that the time for the horse-car Is gone, and that in a few years it will not be known, except in Some non-progresdve town of city which has failed to keep up with the ‘of invention and of the age. In the city where I now live there afe now five cable railways, and they have entire ly supplanted within the past few years the sys tem of horse-car ralirvads ani are giving entire Satisfaction. 1 think that to-day the horse-car FaliToad occuptes relatively the same position as to transportation of passengers in cities or towns that the old Mintiock musket has to the improved fire-armsot the present period. ‘Whilst this 1s $0, and I believe that in the city of ‘Washington, as in all other cities of the country, we must eventuaily come to a systema of cable rail- ways, 1 want to assert the principle, and I believe it tobe a correct principle, that the franchises granted to such corporators should brim the lar- amount of money possible to the geaeral pub- It is an accepted proposition on both sides of Whig chamber, that the Government with all Its privi ‘and ali its franchises belongs vo the peo- | Ble of the country without distinction. If « fran- ehise can de 0 Just as well and at the same ‘thue relieve the other people of a muntelpality or of the country of taxation, why should not that be adopted? What is there ful or improper in ‘the proposition whea gamian the Fight to use the attriouies of the for private gain, whilst at the same ‘ime it 1s for the accommodation of the people. ‘Why should not the benefits inure to all the peo- ple of the munictpality or of the country?” ‘THE CABLE SYSTEM PAYS ENORMOUS PROFITS. Senator Vest said that tue cable system pays enormous prodts; even better than horse cars, and continued as follows: “On one horse-car railroad im the city of Washington the subscribers to its ML. Senate | tock have $30 on the $100, and to-day the Stock ix Worth $300, and it has been three times watered.” He could not see why the owners of gob Valuable franchises as that pending should | Ot pay the public for the privilege. He main. tained that under proper restrictions there would be nothing undignified or objectionable in the auction plan. Senator Plumb thought that while upon the question the Senate should require existing street, Taitway companies to beat a portion of the burden of taxation here. He had not sufficiently ex- to enable him to say wuether nding bill would afford ample factilties or “but,” ae added, ~‘I do know that this city 1s provided witn ‘means of public transporta- in the United States that I know anything about. One city in my state of 40,000 miles of street railway than Wash- another thing. I know that the city are reaping enoriaous profits very accommodations indeed Any favor I have felt toward this largely out of the desire to break up the o who are now engaged iu the transportation of the public by means of street railways tn this District. I think, on the whole, hile Unis subject 1s up, if we are to put on a w line—and { am eniifely willing to agree to {hat—we should provide as stringeul rules a3 pos.

PLEMB'S ONLY Fram. | Continuing, Mr. Plumb said that his only fear of ‘he auction plan was that under, it the existing corporations would bid high enough to get_pos- ‘wession of this and other franchises, and thus pre- ent the copstruction of any new roads, Mr. Vest Said he was willing to extend the amendment $0 a8 to make It cover all street rati- ‘Ways im the District. PROTESTS AGAINST THE AUCTION PLAN. ‘Mr. Riddieberger protested against the auction ‘plan, saying that legisiation offered by him should ever be the subject of barter and sale. “Do not,” he added in a “put up the bill, but peepee sain. ae Berane ‘Senator Spooner regarded the auction plan as ‘unseen! and, while ne believed in taxes, he did uot want to wiieges to the bidaer, He said fur- “It seems to me we ought to be moved by one Purpose only in the enactment of such a law. Does public interest require the creation of such a corporation? If it dows under proper wards {Wo proper persons let us give the franchise.

Tiree years from now it might be wise in the Judgment of Congress to re- duce the fares which ration is author- fazed by the bill to charge from 5 to 3 cents, or even tozcents, Noone can tell what the necessities Of the future will develop in that regard.

AMENDMENTS ADOPTED. ‘Mr. Gorman renewed the amendment he offered im committee of the whole to tax the cable rail- way 4 per cent for the first four years and 10 per cent thereafter. After considerable debate Mr. Gorman accepted a modification, which fixed the ax at 4 per cent of gross earings for the first four years, 6 per cent for the next four years, and permaneutly afier that at 8 percent. This was adopted by a vote of 40 vo 3.

Feb. 23, 1888, The Farmers’ Convention met in Paff’s Hall, Alexandria, Tuesday. ‘This was the second meet- ing. ‘The first business was the election of officers and the completion of the organization. A com- mittee, consisting of N. W. Pierson, Alfred Leigh, and Courtland Lukins, was appointed to report on organization, and tn accordance: with this report the following officers were chosen for the ensuing year, viz.: Major 0. E. Hine, president; N. W. Pierson, first vice-president, and Isaiah Brady, second do; W. Gillingham, secretary, and K. R. Walker, assistant; Jas. W. Roberts, treasurer, and an executive committee of three persons. Job Hawxhurst, esq., Tead an essay on roads, which Was changed to be the first topic discussed, He resented a formidable array Of statistics to show how much the fa mers were put to extra expense fh hauling their marketable commodities to the railroad stations and the marts, on account of the bad condition of the roads, and concluded that the farmers couid make the construction of good roads Pay. After the essay on each topic the president called on whom he would to further consider it. Mr. R. R. Farr would change the method in vogue, ‘and put only practical men in as overseers, Now, the Toads in many tnstances Were worse after Deing Worked than they were before it. Two thousand dollars had been paid tn the County of Fairfax in overseeing the roads without improving them, Half the road tax in money would, by cou- tract, give more and better roads, Mr. Shawen, of Loudoun County, was called on to state what was the practice there. He said that the method of working the tax by the tax-payers ‘Was thought to be the best. Mr. W. Gillingham combatted some of Mr. Farr’s statements. Mr. Greenough, of Falls Church, was decidedly 4m favor of good foads. He said that the work on the hill slopes very often was faulty because a “break” Was Dot made across the road to turn the water. ‘That idea was vigorously assailed by H. H. Gar- ritt, who said the Dreakwater was a damage. Mr H. H. Garritt, master of the Northeast Dis- trict Grange of Virginia, read an essay on co-opera- Uoa, “Te was replete with exesiient thoughts and suggestions. He concluded with the statement ‘That co-vperation would @e more effective if the farmers now organized in the Grange, Col. Robert Beverly, president of the Farmers’ Assembly of the state of Virginia, spoke in tavor of ‘the question, and showed how effective it was for men in limited circumstances, He condemned, in some respects, the Grange, but_yel was in favor of Mt. In the course of his remarks he took opportu- nity to say there was a time when the virgin soll of Virginia would produce anything, by scattering the seed over the ground, in the greatest profu- it condition sion, ‘The Virginia farmers had hardened by the tariff robbery. ‘The discussion was coulinued aMrunatively bv E. Mason and Roger R. Farquhar, of Maryli ..u ‘Ye latter approved the Grange. Mr. Wells Sherman read an essay on boys re- maining on the farm. Me. Chas. Lukins, a young man, read an article also on the same subject. * Dr. Loring, ex-Commissioner of Agriculture, made a specen, touching on all the topics that had been discussed. He was very decidely in the aftirma- tive on ali. “He sald that ff there were a good road from Dunn-Loring to Washington that property would be worth ten Umes what it was worth now. He would be willing to, pay, ts proportion of che cost to construct one. Hesald that Virginia needed such manufacturing establishments as were to be found in the Northeast states. He opposed the at- tack by Mr, Beverly on the tariff. Washington, be ald, was the best market in the country: ‘Theoys were best off on the farm growing products for it. He spoke of the Tact that the price of land rose as. the percent of the population who were engaged im agriculture was inereased, ‘Mr. Wm. Williams read the essay on the effect on tus (armsin times of business depression. He admitted that the consumpuon of farm products was lessened by business dept ‘but that the farmers did not suffer more from’it than otaer classes. Mr. Beverly, in substance, took the same view of the subject. Mz. N. W. Pearson read an essay on the increase of trai ing by farmers. It was Wholesome for the family and more should be grown for its use. Dr. Greene and others followed with similar opinions. Goi, Chamberlin, of Loudoun, sald that apples could be grown in that county more profitably than oranges could be grown 1a Florida. Miss Luxins read an essay on “Our Home.” ‘The ladies of the familles of the members of the Woodlawn Farmers’ Club have an association which meets by itself on the same day of the club, Mra. Mason 19 the president, “Upon invita- Uon she made sowe remarks, Mr. James Roberts treated the subject of “Datry- ing” in an interesting essay. He expressed preter- ence for cows of large size, which gave rise Wo con siderable discussion. Those who engaged in tt favored, for milk, the smaller breeds, such as the Jerseys. Mr. Shawen was requested to state how the fa mers regarded the a County Creamery; whether they were satisfied with thelr arrange: ments with it. He sald it, with Its branches, was the largest one in the world. Some complained that the price for milk was Loo low and that it did. not pay, and had stopped selling: but he thought that with tbese men the diMiculty resulted trom the inferior quality of the cows gnd from the fact that the mea did not know how to care for and feed them. Others thcught they were doing better than Ubey ever had done before, and were increas- ing the number of their cows, though they thought the price paid for milk was toolow. =. 8. A.
