4 THE EVENING STAR. ~ WASHINGTON: The Evening Star has « regalar, permancut boun fide daily circulation more than treble that of any ether daily paper published tn Washington, and much greater than that of all the other daily papers here added together. i a = —=—= The anausl report of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad. which was submitted yesterday, seems to be a full and satisfactory statement of the foad’s actual condition, purposes, and pros pects, which are too often concealed rather than disclosed in these formal reports by such corporations, Apparently the affairs of the railroad are now conducted upon a business Dasis, and no petty pride in a showing of divi- @ends or of increased earnings has oe expenditures for the equipment of t suaene pare showing of its real financial condition in view of these expenditures. While there has been a large increase of freight and Passenger traffic in 1888 over 1887,fthere is an apparent decrease of $905,544 in gross earn- ings and $514,444 in net earnings, The sale of fhe road's express and of the ‘sleeping and parlor car franchises, and extraordinary re- ceipts from the Central Ohio railroad in 1987, are mentioned as accounting in part for this de- crease. But the additional expenditure in 1888 on equipment is of itself nearly sufficient to explain the situation, ‘There were expended | — Bpon the roadway and bridges in 1883 more than im 1887, $831,563, and upon locomotives and freight cars in 1888 more than in 1887, $83,050. Another indication of a candid, busi- nes#-like grappling with the facts of the road’s situation is the reduction of the bloated sur- plus fand to its real dimensions, This fund, swelled to enormous i by an exag- gerated valuation of the assets composing it, has given to the corporation in the eyes of a part of the public the deceptive appearance of ‘vast wealth, and in the eyes of another part has clouded with suspicion the road’s financial showing upon all points concerning which re- port has been made. This year’s report punc- tures the surplus bladder, and it shrinks to less than half its former proportions. The road now figures neither as a Croesus nor asa bankrupt juggling with figures to conceal his insolvency, and can push forward to success, unincumbered by the necessity of keeping up deceptive appearances, in the sensible course of management upon which it has entered. ‘The expenditures for equipment, while they have temporarily reduced the road’s earnings, Jay the foundation for still greater earnings in the future, and promise of continued liberality in that respect is made. Among the costly improvements required in the immediate future are mentioned “the erection of a new Passenger station at Washington, coupled, most likely, with an expensive change of loca- tion of nearly all the tracks of the company in that city,” and “the completion of the double track on the Metropolitan branch.” The latter improvement has long been promised, and both the safetyof the public and the permanent interests of the road demand its speedy accom- plighment. The abatement of the nuisance of surface tracks in northeast Washington and the substitution of a creditable station in this city for the ugly and inconvenient sheds which dis- figure the vicinity of the capitol will repay the railroad in the long ran through the public good-will gained thereby, and the doilars and cents in which that good-will is expressed by the traveling and shipping public. The neces- sity of additional yard room in Wash- ington, which has been a pressing one, has led to the purchase by the company of 17 acres of ground near the inter- section of New York avenue and Boundary street, and a freight yard and passenger station are located there. When the Baltimore and Ohio has made the additional expenditures suggested in the report for the removal of its tracks and the erection of a new station, and has given the city a competing line to Phila- delphis and New York, it will need only to pro- tect life along its route by running at the pre- scribed rate of speed within the city limits and by guarding its street crossingsfas required by law in order to become an accepted public benefactor. Some of the newspapers are already discus- sing what would happen if General Harrison or Mr. Morton, or both, should die between the meeting of the electors and the éth of March. The constitution and the statutes, be- tween them, provide so thoroughly for all such contingencies that they are hardly worth the trouble of debate. A much more profitable topic is the course President Harrison and Vice- President Morton will pursue, in the full flash of health and strength, after the 4th of March. ‘That is the question of universal interest. Possibly the reason the Haytian authorities seized the William Jones on a charge of filibus- tering was because they suspected her of being the famous Bill Jones the Avenger. $e Gen. Harrison is early in demand aga fair visitor. They want him down in Augusta, Ga., at the national exhibition, and one engine- maker who has specimens of his machinery on display there proposes to furnish the biggest locomotive in the country to attach to a special train sent to fetch the President-elect. Though it may be a trifle premature there is something pleasant in all this, for it indicates a disposi- tion on the part of a particularly strong demo- cratic section to accept its recent political reverse in acheerful spirit, and show that it recognizes all its obligations of respect and courtesy to the chief magistrate who is to sue- ceed the man of its own choice. ———— + The Atlanta Condtifulion asserts that the peo- ple of Texas will never consent to 2 division of their state, which they are determined “shall remain a single democratic commonwealth, with one government and one destiny.” This is all very well, but one goverument and one destiny are represented at Wasbington by only two Senators, or just half the number which would be allotted to two governments and two destinies. Itisinsuch little matters as this that the people of the southwest show their lack of the shrewdness which characterizes their fellow-citizens on the other side of Mason aud Dixon's line. oe The pilgrimages of noted republicans to In- @ianapolis to visit the President-elect are not bumerous enough to suit some of the newspa- per correspondents stationed there, who are in @ state of mind over the dullness of things in their line of business, But it must be remem- bered that General Harrison has had some share im «national affairs already, and is not obliged to be made acquainted, for the first time, with the leading men of his party, as Mr. Cleveland was four years ago. As matters are now, thére is no call for the exposure of any sdministrative secrets till the President-elect sees Git to let them out. A The unsettled condition of affairs in Ger- many, and in continental Europe generally, gives special interest to the session of the Ger- man reichstag, which begins to-morrow, If Lord Sackville goes to Spain, as is now suggested, he can give Perry Bélmout a valua- H A Proctamarios Ox Accourr Or THANKSGIVING Day.
