4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. D.C.. FRIDAY, MAY 3, 188 THE EVEN! WASHINGTON: -...Miay 3, 1889, . Editor. a HE EVENING STAR has tne 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. In pursuance of the intelligent and liberal policy which characterizes the management of the Pennsylvania railroad in its dealings with other cities than the defenseless capital of the mation, that corporation favors the bill against grade crossings which is pending in the Penn- sylvania state senate. President Roberts, in a letter on the subject, says: “I do not think that any argument is needed to convince the public that the time has gone by when the lives and limbs of our citizens should be constantly exposed to the perils re- sulting from crossing of streets by steam rail- roads at grade. The records of the city of Phila- delphia show that annually about forty peop! lose their lives at such gradé crossings, while a much larger number are more or less seriously inj * © © This company has long recognized the necessity of their removal in the imterest of the public. * * * In t- suance of this policy it has succeeded in eliminating all such crossings from its main line in the city of Philadelphia, and for a dis- tance of nine miles beyond. It is certainl; within your recollection that in order to reac! the present station at Broad street by an ele- vated road it expended between four and five millions of dollars, and thus secured the re- moval of all the freight tracks from Market street and the abandonment of the then exist- ing grade crossings between Fifteenth street and the Schuylkill River. The same policy has been pursued by the company for many years past on its main dine in the city of Pittsburg, with the result that all grade crossings of im- rtant streets within its limits are now avoided, Fis policy is being steadily pursued on our lines to New York aul Washington also.” When may indications of this policy be ex- pected to exhibit themselves in Washington? By surface tracks, in part illegal, and by the illegal occupation for freight and storage pur- poses of its surface tracks, the road not only exposes the people of Washington to the dangers of grade-crossings, but -by its belt of frequently impassable tracks cuts off easy communication by trade and travel between the main city and South Washington and the river front, and isolates a large and well-popu- lated section of the capital. When will the road spend a considerable sum of money as it did in Philadelphia to eliminate grade-cross- ings? If enjoys here free right-of-way on the public streets anda free station site on the city’s largest public park. Is it thoroughly sat- isfied in the face of its enviable record else- where to grab greedily whatever it can get from the public at the capital, and to make no return for the unusual and extremely valuable privileges received, merely because Congress, the legislature of the city, isever willing to sacrifice to it the interests of the people? Is such discrimination against a whole community profitable in the long run? Would it not pay better ultimately for the company through its agents here to cultivate a friendly feeling toward it in the community and to show the same regard for the lives and property of this people as for those of the residents of Phila- delphia and Pittsburg? a In an interview in to-day’s New York World Bishop Potter explains exactly what he meant by “Jacksonian vulgarity” and other criticised expressions m his centennial sermon. “Vul- rarity,” as he used the word, did not refer to manners, but to the politicalatmosphere. The bishop, it appears, did not mean that Jackson and the people of his time were slangy in their conversation, or repulsive in dress, compared with Washington and his cotemporaries, but that the moral tone of the age in po- litical matters was low. The bishop fur- nishes convincing evidence in this interview that he is not so biased in favor of the staid | and formal methods of expression employed | in Washington's time that he abjures all peculiarly modern forms of speech which are vulgar in the sense of common. If he is un- duly prejudiced against modern methods as compared with the old, his prejudice does not extend to iigurative and racy Americanism in speech. For no one will believe without evidence that George Washington ever spoke in such fashion as to give the bishop a precedent for saying as he does in this interview: “I hate “taffy’,” and “now you catch the idea,” and “in dead earnest,” and “it makes me very tired.” ‘The father of his country may have been a trifle eccentric in his notions of spelling, but except when he was very angry his language was formal and precise. His spirit doubtless frowns upon the bishop’s surrender to the verbal vulgarities of a degenerate age. as There was a grand jail delivery yesterday, when the army of crooks, arrested and re- manded for the protection of honest people during the centennial celebration, were turned loose upon New York again. The law under which the arrests were made ought to be copied into the statute book of every state, territory and district of the Union. It treats crime like insanity—not waiting for an outbreak, with damages to be repaired, but putting the patient beforehand where he can do no harm when his acute symptoms appear. It isan arrangement of which the crook himself cannot reasonably complain, because nobody is affected by it ex- cept one who practises the recognized profes- sion of a public robber; and he has only him- self to blame if his evil courses, long persisted in, bring down this annoyance upon his head. — ee Evidently no murderer is to hang in the Dis- trict if there is any loop-hole of escape from this painful duty. Between commutations of sentence, the granting of new trials, and re- prieves, the local scaffold is as idle as the most earnest opposer of capital punishment could Wish, ——————$—>- = The drunken carousing which disgraced the close of the centennial ball is in marked con- trast with the exemplary conduct of the still larger crowd which attended the inaugural ball At the latter gatheting no wine was per- mitted to besold,and the same {rule might have been adopted with advantage in New York. Sune They are to have another old-fashioned row Over offices in New York city, where the inter- est of the county democracy,, represented in the person of D. Lowber Smith, Mayor Hewitt’s commissioner of public works, refuses to step out and make room for Mayor Grant's newly- appointed commissioner, Thomas F. Gilroy, of Tammany hall. The two men are personal friends, but that will not prevent their carrying their controversy as faras the courts permit. ‘The way they are going at each other recalls the occasion when Hubert 0. Thompson oust- ed Henry A. Gumbleton from the county clerk's oitice by entering it through » trap- door from the cellar in the night and barring him out when he came to attend to his duties in the morning. Sauk Nepotism! Nepotism! The attorney-general of Missouri has appointed his wife first assist- ant attorney-general. She was admitted to Practice eight years ago, isa member of the state bar association, and was for some time her husband's law partner. If this is not run- ning an office on the family plan, what is? But whoever heard of the offense taking such a form before? oo It appears that a big revolution in Mexico was prevented by putting » vigorous cheek Upon « little revolution. Itis a pity all up- setting devices of that sort could not be dis- posed of with equal ease. ee Calvin Gorman succeeds Higgins asa national issue contributed by Maryland. a © A recently published work on “The Artof Advertising” says: “A point which will afford reliable information as to the value of a publi- cation as an advertising medium is the close- ness with which the publisher adheres to his advertising rates.” Taz Star invariably holds to its rates; and, what is of greater importance to the advertiser, it charges everybody the same price for te same service. This few papers do! 4 BOY'S AND CHILDREN'S CHAT. “A complete Stock”"—‘‘The finest products of two hemispheres.” That's idle talk unless you've got the goods right in the house to “show up.” You might ss well try to put the ocean in a teacup as to put all the styles, patterns, varieties and qualities that you read about within the limits occupied by some of our friends in the trade, Its just as) well tobe explicit.

They've got common sense and can appreciate the ridiculousness of a statement that permits a seven by nine salesroom to encompass 8 mountain of stock. In actual measurement we devote more room—two to one—than any other Boys’ and Children’s Clothiers in this city or in ® good many others.
