4 THE EVENING STAR. | Reo WASHINGTON: STAR has the fullest Local Cirenlation of any Newspaper in the Wortd, and as am Advertising Medium is worth more than ell the other papern published ip Washington. New ¥ The Star Out of Town. Ter Pvenrxa Star will be sent by mail to any address in the United States or Canada for such period as may be desired, at the tate of fifty cents per month, 62 But all such orders must be accompanied by Ove money, or te poper cannot be sent, as no accounts are dept with mail subserophons. 2% ela For many years the officials representing dif- ferent branches of the authority of the United States. the interests concerned in the retention sl railroad tracks, and the people of ington have been engaged in the enter- children’s game of “Thimble, thimble; who's got the thimble?” The object of search has been the person or persons upon whom re- sponsibility for the existence of these illegal tracks and the duty of removing them properly falls. The people of Washington have been the seckers im the game, and the thimble of responsibility has been so dex- terously shifted from one to another in sueces- sion of the other players that the search has been heretofore ridiculously unsuccessful, But at last the thimble is in sight. In the time of the United States attorney for the District and the board of Commissioners immediately preceding the incumbents, certain correspond- ence was had concerning the railroad encroach- ments. The United States attorney inquired of the Commissioners whether they bad granted permits for the laying of railroad tacks across certain public reservations, and, if so, their reasons for the action. The Com- missioners replied that they had issued the permits, suggested the absence of an authoritative understanding as to what are the public spaces under the control of the Com- missioners and what are the reservations under the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal gov- ernment, and asked that the subject be consid- ered by the law department of the federal gov- ernment. This letter was referred to the At- torney-General, and that officer now notifies the U. S. attorney that in his opinion the mat- ter calis for no further action on the part of the Department of Justice, and directs him to take legal measures to cause the removal of the several tracks referred to and all others in the city having no legal warrant for their existence. ‘The U.S. attorney consequently informs the present Commissioners that under the statutes and the rulings of the Supreme Court of the United States all the tracks, including side- tracks, laid without express authority of Con- ress are illegal; that it is immaterial whether the ground occupied by them is an “open space” or “a public reservation;’ that the Commissioners are directly responsible for such tracks as are laid in pursuance of permits from them or their predecessors, and also for the presence of such tracks even without their Permission on the streets and avenues, which, by the law, are under their control, He notifies the Commissioners that he is about to abate the nuisance of these unlawful tracks, and gives them the opportunity of relieving themaclves of the burden of responsibility in the matter bequeathed to them by their predecessors. It appears at last that there is somebody among the representatives of the United States, the municipal government and the law who has the power to check railroad encroachments as well as to grant privileges to these corporations. It is now admitted that the Supreme Court of the United States meant what it said when it de- clared that no railroad could lawfully lay a foot of track on the streets of Washington, the prop- erty of the United States, without the express @uthority of Congress. It now appears that the railroad im laying these tracks was a law- breaker. and that its responsibility as a law- breaker is shared by all, including permit- Granting Commissioners, who have aided and abetted the unlawful acts. It appears, too, that these violations of law should long ago bave been checked and the offenders punished by the officials appointed in behalf of the United States and the municipal government to see that the laws are obeyed, and to bring Offenders against them to trial and punishment. There are some privileges that thé railroads now enjoy, without authority of law, which may be thorized by Congress at its next session without damage to the public interest, but in granting these privileges Congress. as the local legislature of the District, ought to exact from the railroads some com- pensation to the public in return in the shape of relief from surface tracks and grade cross- ings, and the disfiguring occupation of the mall The railroads and the people should both make concessions. The latter, recogniz- ing the valuable services rendered to the com- munity by these public servants when they confine ‘themselves to the performance of their proper duties, and the strength with legislatures of these corporations when they aspire to be the masters rather than the servants of the public, will readily yield anything in reason that may be asked, if only the railroads may be held to a@strict observance of law in regard to apeed of trains within the city and the guarding of street crossings, and if, in granting tothe railroads much in the privilege of occupying publie prop- erty, a little of public benefit may be securedin abolishing surface tracks, in saving the public park, and in reducing the dangerous and ugly featares of railroad occupation to a minimum. —— Capitalists have been found bold enough to invest in « pottery trust.
