THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON Bew York Office: Room 93, Tribune Building, Major Raymond has the courage to quote the law to the Baltimore and Potomac railroad and to indicate his opinion that the road is not | oo to put down ack 01500 peal ts $5,000 expenses. above the law. Such a proceeding is danger- ous. The customary whimper may be expected to arise to the effect that the road has never, mo never, been confronted and hounded in any other city as in Washington, where it has merely received free right of way over the pub- lic streets aud a free station site on @ 7m verre QTE MENTO] Ta Oy Lerman J.

Yo ho eu public reservation at the foot of the Capitol. And the customary threat to do something desperate and injurious to the capital if disturbed im its illegal practices will be in order. Students of notable dispiays of gall will find instruction aud refreshing entertain- ment in an examination of this railroud’s treat- ment of the public complaints made against it, There is something almost sublime in the self- possession and ingenuity with which the rail- road distorts into a grievance every request that, in consideration of gratuities from the public to the value of several mullion dollars, it shall obey the law, and stop disfiguring the city and killing its people. In this particular con- troversy it illegally obstructed a public street im order that it might ihegally use as a freight yard the street space enclosed between ite fences. Recently after long maintenance of this illegal obstraction the removal of the fence was compelled, aud the road now takes the po- sition that it ought not mvite the public go their injury by putting the crossing at this point in proper condition. Major Itsymond points out that the law requires the road both to put the crossing in condition and to protect the public from injury im using it ——_— +-—___.+ Mr. Springer wants to make « new state out of the Indian Territory, to be culled Columbia “or any other name tuat may be decided upon.” Inasmuch as there is already the District of Columbia, our vote is for “any other name.”— Boston Transcript. The Transcript is right, as 9 popular vote of the country would show, if it had a chance for expression. Apparently oblivious of the fact that imaumerable mistakes and confusion in the postal service and otherwise, were inevitable from the multiplicity of towns and cities in the United States uamed Washington, and ignoring the no less important fact that the national capital properly bears that name, Congress has seen fit toneediessly increase the muddle by & ving it to one of the new states recently ad- mitted into the Union. It is to be hoped that the existing confusion thus created may not be worse coafounded by the duplication of such an inexcusable blunder as Mr. Springer is credited with proposing. ———— The District of Columbia is greatly in need of a suitable building for holding the local courts. That the old city hall, even with its patebes and additions, is not such a structure iwevident. It may be fitting that a community burdened with ancient and contradictory laws should have underpaid and overworked judges to administer them. and should be required to accommodate its judges and administer its laws in a badly ventilated and badly arranged court Louse, where justice is dispensed and disease contracted. But there is to be reform all along the line, The laws are to be revised, codified and supplemented with modern legislation. The number of the judges and their salaries are to be suitably increased, and a court house befitting the capital of the republic and the court of widest and most varied jurisdiction in the whole United States is to built. Hasten the day! — — The question of “Shali there be an exhibi- tion im 1992?" should be answered by an imper- ative yes. America has never been over mod- est in her statements relative to the develop- ment and progress she has made since she found a place ou the map of the world and if now, after all her talking, she goes before the world as unable to present in materialized form some evidence of that about which she has been boasting it will be an acknowledgment that the western continent is only wind and bluster. The discovery by Columbus should be commemorated by the nation at its capital in 1892 at national expense, and later New York or Chicago might be permitted to carry out its veal project, if it wished to do so, ee Advance statements of Gov. Abbett's message oa the head of ballot reform show that the New Jersey executive goes as far as the farthest. He favors the exclusive official bal- Jot, summary proceeding by the judge if he is satisfied that there has been fraud or bribery, limitation of legal expenses in elections and publicity of such expenditures. Gov. Hill and Senator Gorman still constitute @ strong minority of two, ———— + The bill of Senator Ingalls making the re- cordership of deeds a local salaried office and reducing the amount of the recording fees pro- poses legislation in the shape which Tux Stan bas advocated and suggests a satisfactory solu- dation of the principal difficulties of the case. ‘The functions of this purely local office are to be perfurmed by a resident, a fair salary is provided asa substitute for compensation by fees, and the property owners are to pay in fees an amount not greatly exceeding the reason- able expenses of the office. The cruel punishments that used to be in- flieted im the navy but which have been dis- carded with the blasbes of civilization for hav- ing so long borue with them cannot now be revived No matter whether churlishness or drunkenness be the cause, American seamen are not to be strung up, handcuffed, with the irom cutting their persons while their toes barely touch deck. The charge against Captain Healy of the revenue cutter Bear is a serious one ami warrants the closest scrutiny. If guilty he should piay the cravi tyrant no longer. If imnocent he deserves to be vindi- cated from the accusation. * ————— When willsome common sense man knock off the sapertluogs rand b, and boldly spell it catar? ‘The pablie is only waiting for a leader iu ths much needed reform, a Westward the star of what-you-may-eall-it takes i+ way. ludianapolis is going to have a “Rropyimum.” Chicago will please take notice. 4& Prepyimum just knocks am Auditorium ead- ways, a BS is rumore:i that the prince and princess of Wales will visit the United States in the spring. and if they do we ail hope that Gen.
