4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: February 14, 1889, HE EVENING STAR bas the fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the World. and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published in Washington. Senator Sherman's proposition to give the existing street railway lines of the city the priv- ilege of substituting underground electric wires or cables or storage batteries for horses as a motive power is a good one. The necessity of an improvement in the motive power of the city’s street railway system is one of the most striking in the list of our railways’ needs, But if the charters of the existing lines are to be changed in this particular by giving them | powers and privileges which will en- able them to compete in modern | equipment with any new lines which} may be established, ought not the opportunity be taken to attach to the grant of these privileges such requirements im respect to the kind of rails to be used, the paving between the tracks. taxation, and other matters, as modern opinion causes to be in- serted in the grant of franchises to new lines? | A difficulty has arisen in acting with impartial justice toward old and new railways from the elaim that the requirements which may be im- | posed upon the latter cannot without the pos- sibility of question be imposed without compen- sation upon the former. All should be treated alike. Whenan old line asks a privilege the grant of it may be coupled with a requirement. And if through thoughtlessness too broad powers have been granted to new lines similar op- portunities of correction may be utilized. If the existing lines wish to use electricity they ought to be allowed to do so, pro- | vided they use the grooved rails, and sub-| mit to the other requirements imposed upon new lines. If the Eckington electric road wishes to run a conduit extension to Penn- sylvania avenue, Cougress may, if it wishes, in granting the privilege, require the conduit to extend to the city’s boundary. thus burying the overhead electric railway wires within the city’s limite. If Congress thinks it wise to give to the Tenleytown railway the privilege of run-} ning its tracks along instead of outside of the Tenleytown road. it may couple with the grant @ prohibition against using the overhead wire system within the limits of Georgetown, Each | faver to the corporation may, if that is de- sired, be counterbalanced by a benefit to the publi. ——— ee The Minnesota state university has a novel ease of discipline under consideration. That institution coeducates. The ozone of that de- lightful upper country produces a distinctly | new type of girlhood. Their life outdoors and | in comes nearer to what the average boy enjoys than is anywhere else are permitted. They j skate, toboggan, jhunt. box, fence, and study until they are Dianas in figure and Psyches in spirit. The university girls have kept up with the boys in forming a Greek letter secret so- ciety and wear badges just as conspicuously as ‘We are now offering A LARGE IMPORTER’S STOCK or FINE COSTUMES, Which must be closed out im a few days, ‘The goods are exhibited on the second floor, and make a maguificent display of | FRENCH DRESSES, TEA GOWNS, HOUSE SACQUES, MATINEES, DRESS TRIMMINGS, FRENCH BONNETS, AND CHOICE FLOWERS, ALL AT MOST MODERATE PRICES.

They have also exercised their prerogatives to haze the girls who do not be- | ong to the society chapter. The other day when shrieks and groans were§heard within one of | the society rooms the door was burst in and the | affrighted college authorities saw there a dozen muscular young ladies standing around a big | blanket. while up near the ceiling was a con- | fused mass of blonde tresses, underskirts, No. 2 boots. embroidery, pleats and jewelry. This object fella moment later upon the blanket which the startled young ladies had promptly dropped to the floor. It proved to be a girl student who was being initiated. Her ears had not been clipped or her neck broken, as sometunes happens at West Point and Cornell during the performance of these sacred rites, but her bones were pretty badly shaken up and the institution is shaken from center to cir- ecumference over the question whether the initistors shall be expelled and female secret societies bunished beyond the pale of higher education. $a The bar association of the District expresses itself vigorously and fearlessiy in opposition to the policy of appointing outside politicians asa reward for political services, to fill vacancies on the District bench. [he extraordinary scope of the jurisdiction of the District Supreme | Court, its peculiar practice, and the fearfuland | wonderful District laws which it administers. | not only demand the highest legal attainments i for a District judge, but give special value to | practice before the court itself as the most effective preliminary training for one who is, | during the remainder of his life, to exerc: this extensive jurisdiction, direct this peculiar practice, and construe these peculiar laws. | Tae Srar endorses heartily the position taken | by the lawyers of the community. The evil of | carpet-bag political appointments to high judi- | cial office of life tenure will be felt not merely by the lawyers but by all the people of the Dis- | trict, and the protest of the bar in this matter | | | ia the protest of the whole community. $< ‘The new Japanese constitution is quite occi- dental in its character and scope. It provides for a parliament of 300 members to which citi- zens are eligible who are at least twenty-five years old. and have property enough to pay a yearly tax of $25. The voter must be twenty Years old, and pay $5 of tax yearly. A house ' of peers is also to be erected which will be the | advisory council of the Mikado himself. He will appoint a portion of its members. others will inberit membership. anda portion will be elective. The latter will be in a minority. The old regime will retain a great deal of con- trol for itself while making concessions to | popular self-government that are marvelous to think of in view of the brief period of time that has elapsed since Japan ceased to be an insular despotism shut to the commerce and comity of other nations. i ——— The legislators at Albany are struggling with something worse than bribery in their discus- sion over the capitol ceiling. There was papier mache work in the ornamentation of the as- sembly chamber, and the members have moun- tainous difficulty in getting over those two words. They have finally agreed to call it un- besitatingly “paper mash.” $$ The colored citizens had their customary annual wrangle last night over the marshal- | ship of the emancipation parade. It is hoped that the selection of a minister as marshal may be accepted asan omen of harmony and good-will. Let us have peace. a Ohio is convulsed with astonishment that one of her sous, Gen. Bushnell, will not take the nomination for the high, office of gov- ernor of the state. His support is Unanimous in the republican party, but that makes no difference to the doubly fortu- nate man. He 1s very glad he can have the honor, and he is also very happy in his wise de- cision to stay where he is. As the young lady remarked when she refused her thirteenth | suitor. there’s no keener pleasure in life than to know you can have a good thing if you want it and then—not want it. | Brovaap & C SILK HOSIERY IN ALL COLORS. 907 PENNSYLVANIA AVE, fla rs WONDERFUL BARGAINS. 21.25 Lyon SILK (genuine). 93g. neh Bu D CAMBKIC, FORTABLEs, cLord, BRODHEAD & CO.
