= THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., SA’ DAY, THE _EVENING STAR. WASHINGTO} that of any other daily paper publisbed in ‘Washington, and much greater tha that of ali the other daily papers hero added together. ‘The bill appropriating $00,000 to make such changes in the plan of construction as will cause the B. & P. Railroad to permit the United States to build the Eastern Branch Dridge, has passed the House, with a proviso that one-half of the sum appropriated shall be paid out of the District rev- ‘enues, and the Senate has assented to the amend- ment. Washington wants this Dridge, and delay tm the present stage of Its construction will in- volve greater expense, probably, than to con- ‘tribute with the United States to a purse, @ slight testimonial of regard, to conciliate ‘the raliroad. The United States and the taxpay- ers and property-owners of the District are ac- eustomed to supply freely every need of this cor- poration, but even their enforced and habitual Subserviency to the rallroad must experience a Straining sensation In this matter. Mr. Hemphill, speaking for the House District committee in ex- planation of the bill, said: “The Baltimore and Potomac Railroad Company, by reason of the ex- tension of the track, which they are entitled to under the law, bave a title to the land upon ‘which this bridge, as now planned, will land; so that the public in crossing the bridge ‘will rum against the railroad. It 1s necessary to extend the bridge far enough over toallow the yaflroad to run under it. The Baltimore and Po- tomac Raflroad Company have the right of way, J think, 60 feet on each side of its truck, and, asthe bridge is now planned, people in crossing it will Fun right into the railroad track. This bill pro- poses to give additional money to build a better ‘bridge, so that people in crossing the bridge may goover the railroad track instead of running rignt into it.” The United States alleged in the action ‘which ft brought to restrain the railroad from in- terfering with the work of Government agents ©n Government property that the road had de- parted entirely from its chartered route in the city, and had no right whatever in the vicinity of ‘the bridge, and the testimony of the Government oMpers is to the effect that the original plan of the bridge provides ample space under the struc- ture for present tracks. The court has not yet passed upon the questions which Mr. Hemphill de- ‘cides in favor of the railroad. As Congress has al- ‘ways accepted the rafiroad’s presentation of law and facts with far greater avidity and enthusiasm ‘than courts and juries have, it 1s Just possible that ‘the railroad may be found by the court not to have title to any of the Government property, eltyer 129 feet, as Mr. Hemphill thinks, or even 60 feet. If the mere right of transit gives titls the railroad has tle, according to Mr. Hemphill’s view of the ex- tent of the right of way strip, to private houses along the streets of Washington within 60 feet of Its tracks, and the Farwell bill gives it title to all ‘the streets and reservations south of Maryland and Virginia avenues. Is 1¢ not enough for our legislators to require the United States and the District to pay $40,000 to humor the ratiroad with- ‘Out putting on record a flat contradiction of the allegations of the Government's case? eee As each successive Presidential election ap- proaches, thinking citizens all over the Unton be- gin toeriticise the lumbering, antiquated system of ‘Voting for electors tnstead of for candidates direct; Dut all their efforts to amend the Constitution in this particular have thus far proved vain. What cannot be done by a straight assault can often be ‘accomplished by indirection, however, and there is no doubt that the secret-ballot bills which are now under consideration in several of the states will go @ good way toward helping on the reform cause. These bills call for the printing, by the Government and at the public expense, of ballots containing the names of all the candidates nominated by all the parties entitied to recogni. tion as such. ‘This, in a state like New York, with the democratic, republican, probibition, united Jabor, national American, anti-poverty, and woman, ‘suffrage parties each running a presidential can- didate of its own, would involve the printing of ‘seven times thirty-six, or 252 names in clear, legi- Die type, on the face of each electoral ballot, ‘with blank spaces enough besides to enable the Independent voter to put a cross opposite those ames which he approves or to substitute in writing the names of any persons whom he may prefer tothose regularly nominated. Each ballot ‘cast into the box would be, at the least estimate, as large a8 two full columns of Tux Stak. Such a Tidiculous arrangement could be trusted to work its own cure. As the secret ballot has some excel- Jent features, while the electoral system has noth- ing but its hoary old age to recommend it, it is probable that, in a contest where only one could survive, the secret ballot would stay and the elec. toral system would have to go. —<_$<<——--————__ ‘Those Americans, in Congress and out, who have argued against the international copyright bill because it was a measure instigated by English Printers and publishers, should read this morn- tng’s dispatches from Loudon, which show that representatives of the British printing and allied trades, and a sectionot the London chamber of commerce, bave united in an effort to prevent the Passage of the bill This ought to modity the ‘Opinions of some of our too zealous countrymen. ‘The English printers know that, with interna- onal copyright, more English works will be sent here in manuscript form for our American compo- sitors to put into type, our American mitls to fur- nish paper for,and our American binderles to cover.

A man with a good mercantile business was smitten with the Tever for getting rich in a night, and used his capt- tal for margin operations in Wall street. It was ‘not long before all bis savings were gone, and he sought a salaried desk in a broker's office so that ‘he could have constant access to tne tape. His in- fatuation cost him his place, as his mind was too full of his own concerns to attend properly to the Interests of his employers. Then he borrowed from Mriends, right and left, till he had sunk tn the ‘Ducket-shops all the money they were willing to advance him. When nothing was left he blew his ‘Drains out, trusting to the charity of an acquaiat- ance toses that his body was decently buried. “When will the leseon be impressed upon the mind ‘Of the man who has a living income, that perman- ent weaith is a tree of slow growth; and that in ordinary stock speculation, as in faro, all the odds are in favor of the bank?

WE WOULD INVITE ANY PERSON OR PERSONS, CHEMISTS, PHYSICIANS, OR THE PUBLIC, TO CALL AT OUR FACTORY AND WIT- NESS THE MANUFACTURE OF THE GREAT REMEDY FROM THE CRUDE GRAIN TO THE BOTTLES AND LABELED ESSENCE.

SCOTCH OATS ESSENCE 1S NATURE'S TONIC AND NERVINE. IT IS PURELY VEGETABLE, PROMPT AND LASTING IN ITS EFFECTS. L It is Nature's own remedy, and, being of vegetable origin, is absolutely harmless; it will not injure the ‘most exhausted invalid or the weakest stomach, but will, on the contrary, strengthen, build up, fortify and rejuvenate not only tho weakened and unstrung nerves, palsied limbsand exhausted vitality, but will increase the appetite and digestive powers, enrich and purify the blood and regulate the bowels. 2. While, like opium, it will quiet pain and produce sleep, it does so not by steeping the brain in lethargy and deadening the nerves, but by giving strength, equilibrium and vigor to them. Not only will it not enslave those who use it—as do opium, morphine, alco- hol and chioral—but it will promptly destroy the crav- ing for these, strengthen and invigorate the shattered erves, and free the victim from his terrible bondace. 3. Dk. BUCKLAND’S ESSENCE is in no sense » Patent medicine. It is simply Nature's own Tonic and ‘Vitalizer, presentedin its most active and palatable form. The infant and the octogenarian may alike use it without any harm and with much benefit. 4 It does away with loading the stomach with Rsuseous and powerful druxs and decoctions, and simply feedadife and vigor to the weakened and hungry nerves and tissues, 5. It ie not » temporary expedient for stimulating « tired brain or exhausted nervous system fora time, to leave as badly off or worse than before, but an actual Rerve food aa well as tonic that enters directly into the composition of the perves, giving a strength that 1s lasting and a power that will not fail when called upon. 6. Its claims are based not upon the myths or fables of ignorant and imaginative people, but upon the ‘unassailable evidence of some of our best physicians, not only as regards its action upon their patients, but Also upon themselves. 7. It is not s popular nostrum for which every curative virtue under the sun is claimed, but natural vegetable specific for nervous and mental diseases, irri- tative, exhaustive, painful or paralytic.
