Tribune Building. bE CC ___ The Pennsylvania railroad through Presi- dent Roberts admits that it is a law breaker in its occupation of the streets of the capital and that a blockade upon Washington freight has been declared, but blames both facts upon its inadequate freight facilities and upon the an- noyance to which it has been subjected at the hands of those who have persistently called at- tention toits violations of the law, Its freight facilities in this city are admitted to be inade- quate, but in the opinion and personal experi- ence of the busmess men, as stated in Star in- terviews, such inadequacy alone does not account for this sudden par- alysis in the focal working of a great railroad system at a special time, namely, the opening session of a new Congress; and in spite of the railroad’s disclaimer the fact that the use of the public streets as freight yards cost nothing and saved it the expenditure of many thousands of dollars is still believed to have relieved the railroad’s occupation of them for that purpose of the element of painful com- pulsion. Though diplomatically worded, Pres- ident Roberts’ letter is a distinct move in the railroad’s policy of coercion. The point of his statement is found in his expression of trust that the situation will induce “those who really represent the business interests of Washington to make such representations to Congress that the lines of steam railway which have be- come so essential to the prosperity of your city will be enabled to provide themselves with the facilities which, while now denied to them in your city, are cheerfully extended to them in every other city in the Union.” The people of Washington will cheerfully unite with the railroad to secure for the latter the legislation which will enable it to enjoy here privileges extended to it in other cities, but which are denied to it here by the law as construed by the Supreme Court of the United States, provided the railroad will unite with the people of Washington in securing legislation which will give to them the same considerate treatment and the same rehef from obvious evils of the present railroad occupation which are extended to other cities of the Union but whieh are denied to them. The complaint of the railroad is against the law and against the highest iegal tribunal of the nation, The com- plaint of the people is against the illegal acts of the railroad, and against its stingy policy of utilizing to their full extent the valuable gifts of the nation to it at the capital in free right of way and free station sites, and steadily refusing to make the improvements in its occu- pation which it boasts of doing in cities where it bas beeu far less favored. Its grievance in respect to the block of ground on 14th street which it purchased avowedly for a freight yard is a fair sample of its afflictions, After it had for years pursued the policy of using public property for freight and storage purposes in spite of the protests of citizens, it purchased a piece of ground, avowedly inadequate in size, which could not be reached except by leaving its line through the city as laid down by Con- gress, crossing a street and obstructing that great thoroughfare, the approach to the Long Bridge across the Potomac. If it could thus have departed at will from its chartered course through the city, there would have been nothing to pre- vent it from buying « station site in the heart Of the fashionable northwest section and ex- tending its tracks over the public streets to its purchase. The Supreme Cours decidsd that the road could not depart from its route and spoil more streets without authorit; from Con- gress; and in that decision the road finds ex- euse for s complaint that it is forced to con- tinue its unhappy career asa law break +r. Ths road should purchase adequate property along its line and apply to Con-ress fur permission to reach it; or it should ask for a carefully limited privilege of condemnation of private property along its line with the same end in view. Congress should grant this request at the sume time that it acts favorably upon the appeal of the people for the sinking below grade or elevation above grade, where cither is practicable, of all steam railroad tracks in the city, relief trom unnecessary and illegal tracks, from dangerous grade crossings, from illegal occupation of public property and illegal use of public prop- erty legally occupied, from unsightly and in- appropriately located stations and unsightly approaches to stations, and from the obstrue- tion aud choking with surface tracks of two quarters of the city. The railroads should not be given everything and concede nothing. The railroad punishes our merchants because the law forbids it to do here some things which it may do elsewhere and intimates that this city discriminates against it, The suggestion that the hostile discrimination is made by the capi- tal and not by the railroad would be amusing if the situation were uot so serious. In what 6 this road enjoy fgee right of way entirely over the pub- lic streets, and a free station site upon the city’s largest park with the right to cut and disfigure such park with its tracks? In what other city has the legislative body permitied it to occupy “without a shadow of author: igher than squatter sovereignty” public spaces not granted to it? in what other city has it long been per- mutted by the same authority to illegally but inexpensively use the streets for freight and Storage purposes? In what other city has it loug been permitted to seize and fence in as its Property streets over which it has the mere Tight of transit, isolating by an almost impassable belt the river front and a populous section of the city? To what other city has it shown less grati- tude for favors received? In Philadelphia it spent five million dollars to give the people a more conveniently located station, In Wash- ington it will not remove its station for the few squares which will carry it from a beautiful public reservation. In Philade!phia it bas bought and owns for its purposes between five and six hundred acres of laud within the city limits. How much has it bought and does it wa in Washington? in Harrisburg it has built &@ new station and changed its line, with large expense to the company. It refuses this im- Provement to Washington. It concedes the dan- ger of grade-crossings and boasts that its policy bas,been “to meet the different municipal au- thorities of the various towns through which its lines pass in the most liberal spirit, so as to avoid such crossings.” What liberality in this Fespect has it proposed or does it propuse to extend to Washington? $$$ —__ Yesterdsy at the National Capitol the repre- sentatives of the American people and the representatives here of foreign uations com- memorated the orgunization of our government and the virtues, wisdom and greatness of George Washington, foremost of men in all the elements of real manhood and the most simple, majestic and sublime figure in human history.
