WASHINGTON: THE Rspay.. (ROSKY s NOYE THE EVENING STAR bas tne fullest Local Cireuiation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth , more than all the other papers published in Washington. The difficulty which illbaahal the District m the absence of power after the 4th of March either to have additional overhead or underground electric wires has been met by the Senate in the District appropriation bill. ‘The law forbids the erection of additional over- head wires, and the District is waiting for the adoption of a general plan by Congress of bury- ing the existing wires as well as those to be added by the electric companies with the natural growth of their business. As a tempo- rary expedient, pending the adoption of a com- prehensive underground system, as recom- | mended by the Commissioners in response to a request by Congress for a report on the sub- ject. the Senate has amended the appropria- tion bill by giving the Commissioners power to authorize the overhead wires of any tele- graph, telephone, or electric-light company to be laid under any street or sidewalk in the Dis- trict, whenever in their judgment the public interest may require the exercise of such au- thority. Any privileges of this kind which may be granted areto be revocable at the will of Congress without compensation, and the au- thority to grant them is to continue only until the termination of the Fifty-first Congress. This amendment prevents an abrupt check upon the growth of the electric-wire system of the District, and before it expires by its terms it is hoped that Congress will have provided the general underground system which the capital needs. 2 The proposition before ‘ongress to redeem the arid lands of the west by irrigation comes none too soon for the healthful growth of the country. The existence of a large, sparsely- settled public domain is a safety-valve for the erowding increase of population in eastern citiés and towns. It also quickens the ener- gies of our people when there is a continuing incentive for young men to break away from the old way of getting along and make trial of new fields of opportunity. At equal pace with | the rapid reduction of the public domain by settlement have sprang up endless labor and society problems. Other causes, to be sure, have been large factors in these agitations, but the diminished chances to go west and get gov- ernment land have had great influence as dis- turbance-breeders, and will be more and more potent as the eastern population grows denser. As the meridian of free land recedes the class of thrifty workingmen in the east and middle west lose their ability to transport themselves and their families over the interval and set up for themselves in the new country. The irri- gation of the arid lands holds out hope to such men as these. It brings it within the power of their little savings to get farms and homes, end make room for the poorer men left behind. ‘The man who is fortunate enough to put his home on government land that is irrigated has acomfortable subsistence at his doors. He is not at the mercy of drought; his soil is uni- formly rich and productive. and for a time the dearth of arable land in his neighborhood in- sures a good market. No project fraught with greater consequences of good has been brought forward in connection with interior improve- meuts in many years. cestode accel The Samoan question i ——______ swiftly approaching a settlement. Bismarck’s letter is a defiant challenge. and the overtures to an international adjustment of the affair which are on the At- lantic coming to this government will not re- lieve the crisis of its ugly prospect. Under the pretext of punishing Mataafa, Bismarck in- tends to subjugate Samoa, in spite of any al- leged protocol or recognized policy of non-in- terference. To punish Mataafa enthrone Tamasese, banish Malietoa permanently, and putthe Samoan group entirely in control of the German planters is Bismarck’s program. While he is carrying it out, England is likely to be passive. Upon this country rests the en- tire burden of protest. In the language of the late William Tweed he insolently asks us “What are you going to do about it?” and Congress has now to consider what the reply shall be. — ———s ang The selection of Mr. Walker, of the inter- state commerce commission, as chairman of the executive board of the Interstate Com- merce railway association, is a good one. Asa member of the interstate commission Mr. Walker has displayed an admirable grasp of railroad problems and has preserved a happy mean between the interests that have ap- pealed to the commission for the decision of perplexing questions. His new position is one | of great importance, and it is significant that | the railroads should select a member of the | interstate commission to enforce among them | a voluntary conformity to the letter and spirit of the interstate law. Mr. Walker's retirement from the commission opens the door to quite « change in the complexion of the commission. Judge Bragg’s successor will be chosen next March by President Harrison, and unless Mr. Walker takes his new position at once, two ap- pointments to the commission will devolve Upon the next President. cenit The death of Crown Prince Rudolph only disposes of one keen disappointment felt for Years by the Austrian people to bring in an- other. Rudolph. as a boy and up to the time of his marriage with Stephanie, nearly nine Fears ago, was looked upon as likely to become asafe ruler. Of late years he had failen into dissolute life, separated from his young wife, and rapidly aggravated the constitutional weak- ness of his family by physical excesses, His death introduces a dilemma in regard to the succession. Rudolph’s only child is a little daughter not regarded as «child of good health, Should she die the crown would go to Prince Karl, the emperor's brother. who. with his two sons, are pretty thoroughly disliked by the Austrians. The little Princess Elizabeth is therefore likely to become empress some day, and, until she matures, the match-making pow- ers will be ransacking all Europe to find agood, Virtuous, and wise husband for her. : —— oe The cnrrent number of THe Weexiy Star, issued to-day, is an excellent one, containing all the most attractive features of the evening | scaf™fh,toot, editions for the past week—including those of the twelve-page Stan of Saturday last.
