THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. * ae D.C., FRIDAY, JANUARY 11, 1889 ING STAR. FRIPAY THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Lecal Cireulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers in Washington. ee The need of prompt action to secure the Rock Creek region for a public park is recog- nized on all sides; and the movement in behalf of that project is so heartily endorsed by our best citizens, and receives such assurances of support in Congress, that there is good ground for believing that a little vigor- ous concerted effort will make it a success, The merits of the park project may be suc- cinctly stated as follows: It supplies what no leading city is without, a great public park, which is alike a pleasure resort and a sanita- rium for all classes. The Rock creek valley has exceptional fitness for the purpose, and needs but little and inexpensive training of its wild, picturesque beauty to convert it to park uses. From the wild, broken nature of the region, it is not fit for much else than a park, and if acquired at once under the present as- sessments, and by condemnation, the two or three thousand acres particularly desirable for the park could be secured for a comparatively moderate sum. An important consideration in this connection is that the plan of procuring the property by condemnation relieves it of every possible suspicion of jobbery or speculation. ‘There is not a penny to be made by it by any- body, except so far as the interest of the entire public is concerned in the execution of a work that will add so immensely to the prosperity of the capital city. It is in facta project so en- tirely void of selfish personal interests that it does not enlist the support of lobbyists, jobbers or speculators, and must depend for its success upon the active co-operative efforts of the gen- eral public. The necessity for immediate action in the matter is caused by the danger that inroads may be made upon the magnificent forest growth of the region, and that the valley, if not speedily secured by government, will be occupied for purposes that will convert it from “g thing of beauty, a joy forever,” into a dan- gerousguisance in the shape of a foul open sewer, lined with a succession of slaughter- houses, breweries,dye-houses,hog-pens, privies, &ec.. polluting the creek with their excrement. Merely as a sanitary measure the park project merits public support. It can readily be seen what a menace to the health of the city would be presented by this foul open drain, meander- ing throngh the Rock Creek valley and empty- ing its fever-breeding contents upon the flats directly in front of the city. Jadge Barrett's decision against the North River sugar refining company, charged with entering the great sugar trust. is the first strong blow to be made against the mercantile combinations, and it is likely to be sustained in the court of appeals. The decision is under the New York law, which distinctly provides a remedy against business combinations to the injury of the public. Two questions had to be decided by Judge Barrett: Whether or not en- tering the trust was a corporate act, and, if so, whether the penalty was forfeiture of char- ters and dissolution of the corporation. The inquiry into the formation of the sugar trust showed that partnership concerns were con- verted into corporations in order to form a safe legal basis of combination. The danger from partnerships, where firm members might sell out or die. was too great to be incurred. The combination took in all the refine- ries in New York, and nearly all in the United States. No express power to fix Prices was stated in the trust deed, but the trust board did establish prices and acquies- cence from all the combined refineries followed. There was no escape from the logical concla- sion that it was a combination of corporations for the benefit of private concerns to the injury of the public by the illegal prevention of com- petition and the crushing of any sngar-maker who staid out of the “combine.” Whether the corporations as such make a trust or as indi- vidual stockholders, the result, says Judge Bar- rett, is the same and the object is the same. Without special authorization in their charters corporations can not form partnerships or enter into any arrangement amounting to a con- solidated monopoly of their business. The forfeiture of their charters throws the corpor- ations back to the legitimate conditions of trade. As partnerships competing for busi- ness, they will now have an oppo tunity to obey the new law, which promises to be the law of the land. The influence of Judge Barrett's de- cision can not fail to be felt in other states and to have its effect on all other forms of trusts, $$ The prominent Dakota democrats now visit- ing the city will assist the filibustering dead- lock in securing an extra session. They desire the division and admission of Dakota by the present Congress, if that is possible, or by an extra session of the next Congress if the pres- sent House cannot act. Evidently Dakota will not be divided by the Fiftieth Congress, though every democrat in the territory should favor the action. $$ ___ The report of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal shows that its current receipts have, for the year, slightly exceeded its current running ex- Penses, a more favorable showing than has been made for some time. But heavy debt weighs upon the company, and its future is gloomy in the extrem: $$ There is a growing disposition in the House to urge Speaker Carlisle to take the course pur- sued by Mr. Randall in 1876, when he quenched fillibustering on the electoral count bill by de- clining to recognize any member for a dilatory motion. Speaker Keifer took a like position on the tariff bill in 1883. That course would give Gen. Weaver his quietus, and restore the course of regular business. As it is, the House is stripping itself of power, and legislation can be accomplished only in a random way through the Senate. Representatives who wish to amend appropriation bills have already given up all hope of accomplishing anything in the House, and are making efforts with their Sen- ators to secure legislation. To ignore Gen. Weaver is an impeachable action, but it is in the power of a decent majority in the House, with the Speaker's co-operation, to put a Prompt end to such a farce as has been going on the past week. —————— What will it profit Weaver, the presentczar of all America, if after a few days of do-nothing reign he is dethroned by the persistent failure of the Speaker's eye to wander in his direc- tion? What a glorious method of terminating ® glorious condition of affairs! But may not tyranny oppose tyranny, one-man power be neutralized by one-man power, and an unjust eustom correct unjust and absurd rules? $e Gaily the farmer trudges up and down his field in New Jersey and lays the straight, mel- Jow furrows one after another. The trees are budding, the robins are there to get the early worms, and all that is wanting to complete the mid-summer in winter is the mosquito orches- tra setting the soft, balmy air a-quiver with its delicious melody. 0 Mr. Blaine’s present anxiety is now discoy- ered to be not the construction of a cabinet, but that of a new house in Washington. There cannot be too many houses built in W: ton, but it is already evident that there are more cabinets in process of construction than Washington has room for. a ‘The fall of the carriage-way bridge at Ni- sgara should not cause any fear about the rail- way bridge. The two were entirely unlike in strength and principles of construction. Care should be taken that no bridge similar to the carriage-way structure is again built there. — 2 ‘The new year has made extraordinary head- way in stocking its chamber of horrors, Gaxte Sus Scovrsp areas ere ct — kbuiveraas, BUT A GOOD DEAL BETTER.
