B. Noves, Treasurer Evening Star Newspaper Company. Subvcribed and sworn to before me this fourth day of November, A.D. 1889. Joun T. C. CLARK, Notary Public. ee ee ‘The business interests of the city are suffer- ing toan anusual degree from delayed freighta. ‘Tue Sram publishes today an addition to a pre- vious batch of vigorous complaints on the sub- ject. Undoubtedly there are in some special cases special explanations of delay. It is evi- dent, too, that the preference given to passen- ger traffic during the conclave has resulted in the shunting on obscure sidings of great numbers of freight cars, and that the companies have lost track of the whereabouts of the missing cara. When the railroads get all their rolling stock into active operation the evil of the present annoyance and damage will probably be re- lieved to some extent. For permanent relief the increase and development of the local freighting facilities must be made to keep pace with the growth of the local trade. The sug- gestion that the Baltimore and Potomac road purposely obstracts Washington freights in order to coerce the business men of the city into a support of its illegal occupation of the Public streets as a freight yard, and the sug- gestion tuat the action of those citizens who endeavor to bold the corporation to obedi- ence to the law so harrasses it that it is unable to furnish adequate freight facilities, both bear evideu.e to the same coudition of facts, though the inspect the matter irom different points of view. The terminal facilities of both of the local railrouds are, t is admitted, inadequate and in so ne respects discreditable. These cor- Porat ons, especialy the Bultimore and Poto- mac, have saved the large expense incurred in other cities to purchase station sites and right of way, ond to lower or raise tracks be- low or above grade in the interest public saf-ty, and have not only made free use ofjthe public property where they have been authorized to do so, but have exteuued their occupation and use beyond these limits. If efforts to make the railroads obey the laws which have been enacted to protect the life and property of citizens result in depriving the roads and some citizens of freight facilities Negally enjoyed, censure must fall not upon the law, or upon those who desire te see the law obeyed, but upon the rail- roads. It is much to be desired that “Buscx Goons: Ar Pennva If we were asked to give one stmrle reson why this house has attained s name for its BLACK GOODS we would esy: “Bectuse of the strict values invariably @ered."

WE ADVERTISE THIS BECAUSE OUR CUSTOMERS TELL Us So. THE MOTTO OF THIS ESTABLISHMENT 1s ALWAYS “THE BEST OF GOODS FOR THE LEAST MONEY.” ToMORROW, NOVEMBER, 5, 1889, THERE WILL BE A PERFECT Congress at its next session may take definite action upon the whole local railroad problem. ‘The roadsand citizens need better freight facil- ities, to be secured by the purchase of private Property by the railroads at points to be ap- proved by Congresa. Washington needs also @ notable diminution of the surface tracks, a cessation of railroad encroachment upon public streets and reservations, ana a settlement of the question of railroad routes and station sites in thecity. All these matters should be settled together, The railrouds have already received privileges from the government worth williions of dollars. Every future concession to them should be coupled with a concession of equal importance to the people of the city in the correction of some recognized evil of the present railroad occupation. The interest in the elections to be held to- morrow, as compared with those of the years when vast national issues are at stake or when state and municipal offices of great importance are to be geuerally disposed of, may be measured pretty well by the registration which bas taken place in several of the larger cities, In Baltimore the warmth of the fight is shown by the fact that the registry is larger this year than! last by 1,252 names, That is theone exception, | however, to the rule of decline. In New York city the list is 67,733, or a out one- ourth, | lower; and in Brookiyn 22.542, or about one- seventh. Chicago shows a fail of £6,635, o «| round seventh. The lea ing Ohio ities differ | widely. Cincinnati loses; with 3,646, a scant eiguieenth, while in Cleveland. where the local quarrels are not carried to 80 ex- treme a length, the decline is 7,823, or between a fi.th anda sixth. Boston, prob- ably owing to her annual elections, makes the next best report to Cincinfuti. Her falling-off ia only 4,196, or a little less than one-seven- teenth. The indifference shown by the average voter as to what he does with his ballot indi- Cates either that he considers himself, on the whole, very well governel, or that he is too Geeply engrossed in other business to bother with the subject. Itis on its surface a very Pleasant and assuring sign; but at bottom it is not wholesome. Every good citizen ought to regard @ vote asa duty rather than a privi- lege, and not, by his apathetic bearing, fur- Bish the bad element in either purty with the opportunity itso earnestly secks to be left in full control of the machinery of government, aa Secretary Rusk, although not the first Secre- tary of Auriculture to sit in an American cabi- net, is the first to issue an annual report. It will attract general attention from the fact that it enters with some minuteness into subjects which show the real value to the country of such « department. conducted with skill at the executive eud of the line and liberality at the congressional end. It is ridiculous to claim that the usefulness of a piece of governmental Machinery like this one ends with the collection of statistics and a few gen- eral advisory functions. The Sceretary pro- Poses to raise his department from that level, He wants @ national meat inspection law, for example, which shall enable public officers to locate the centre of any disease which breaks out among American cattle, and prevent the scandal of shipments of live and dead meat unfit for consumption. Another excellent recommendation is that the forestry interests of the government be given more intelligent attention. As they are now, there is absolutely Bo way in which timber thefts and forest fires cam be prevented; and the loss to the govern- ment from these sources, as shown by Chief Fernow's fizures on repeated occasions, is greater every year thun the cost of a fair supervision would be. oe Between the winter blizzards, the summer droughts and the flinty souls of the usurers who bold mortgages on their farms, those poor fellows ap in North Dakota are having a pretty hard time of it, $$ 0 The weather prophets seem to be pretty well agreed, now, upon « cold, dry winter. The cold will come as compensation for the warmth |) of last winter, and the dryness for the long reign of showers and atmospheric humidity during the summer.
