THE EVENING STAR. | Prany Yorn WASHINGTON: TUESDAY April 22, 1890, CROSBY 8, NovES -Ealtor, THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Cireulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published in Washington. New York Office: Room 03, Tribune Building. ee ee eee Speaking of “booms,” Tux Star is not run- ning s “boom.” It doesn’t need one. It just moves along ali the time, keeping its place at the bead of the procession, and constantly in- creasing in circulation and advertising busi- ness, On Saturday last it printed 532 new advertisements,—ten more than were ever printed in a single issue of the paper up to thst time. Its circulation was 36,776 copies on Saturdsy, against 33,261 on the corre- sponding day last year. Of the above named namber 33,671 were circulated in the city, 23,327 copies being delivered by carriers at the homes of regular and permanent sub- seribers, SSS ed The plea of poverty which the Pennsylvania railroad enters in behalf of the Baltimore and Potomac railroad as an excuse for failure and refusal to make the same improvements in its cceupation here as in other large cities will not bear investigation. This branch of the great Pennsylvania system is a necessary link to secure it southern connections and give it necess to the capitai of the nation, It is no more to be considered apart from the rest of the system and pronounced unprofitable than some short tunnel section elsewhere on the through line may properly be so treated. The heavy expense of tunneling through Baltimore should not be so handled in the company’s book-keeping as to deny improvements to Washington, where free transit over the sur- face of the pablic streets was given and a free station site on the public reservation loaned. In Philadelpbia the road reports that it has spent five millions of dollars to change its station site to please the people, it has sunk its through tracks in the city and for nine miles out, it has purchased a government reservation for freight purposes, paying a million dollars for it, and it owns over 500 acres of land within the city limits and is therefore compelled to oc- cupy the streets only to the limited extent which will not inconvenience the public. In Wash- ington little or no expenditure has been made under any of these heads. Yet the road in ask- img additional freight facilities discloses an astonishingly large local freight business done by it, and reports that it has moved nearly two million passengers to or from its local station within a year. Surely with so large a revenue and so small # disbursement purely on Wash- ington’s account the capital is not an unprofit- able railroad city, whatever the company’s method of book keeping may show in regard » the Baltimore and Potomac's finances. The Baltimore and Ohio, in respect to whose Metropolitan Branch the same showing of apparent unprofitablencss has been made, proposes in northeast Wasbing- ton to improve its occupation by removing a large number of its grade crossings and by building several extremely expensive bridges across its tracks, involving engineering diffi- culties far greater than those connected with the proposed bridge over 4'¢ street, which have been represented as so formidable. It is only in Washington that the Pennsylvania road would be willing to put itself in the attitude of being poorer, less progressive, and less ready in overcoming engineering difficulties than the Baltimore and Ohio, - oe In some respects the capital appears to be suffering from excess of consideration. It is denied a memorial hall in connection with the Columbus celebration because, as its good friend Senator Hawley says, half a million is not enough for such a hall and itis preferred that the project should be developed in more satisfactory shape asan independent enter- prise. It is denied the Columbus celebration ceremonies connected with the unveiling of a statue of Columbus because, as its good friend Senator Hoar explains, great monumental work, befitting the subjectand the place of dis- play, cannot be completed by April, 1893, and nothing but first-rate statues should ever be erected at the capital Most serious of all, its good friends of the Senate committee on public buildings,—and no one will question the sincerity of their friendship—have been convinced that Washington should for its own welfare be denied the million dollar post-office to which they had assented, and be condemned to indefinite occupation of the present disgraceful rookery and to an indefi- nite continuance of the wrengle over a location, because the capital deserves as fine a post- office as any in the land and the one proposed is vastly inferior to that which is being erected in Cincinnati, Washington ought. perhaps. to be gratified atthe successive disappointments so tenderly administered, but the capital cannot refrain from remembering that a bird in hand is worth two in the bush, that half loaf is better than no bread, and that the dog which snapped at the shadow bone in the water lost the smaller but mcre substantial bone which be bad between his teeth, —————— If the Senate does not mean to assent to the Proposition of the House in regard to the local post-office matter, it is hoped that indication of this decision and of its own proposition on the subject will be given speedily, in order that the attempt may be made as soon as possi- ble to induce the House to yield to its views. If Washington is to get a post-oifice, and every one admits that it should, there must be a sac- rifice of the pride of opinion on the part of one of the houses of Congress, and that sacrifice will come, if it comes at all, from the body which feels the deeper interest and pride in the welfare of the capital. and which can the more readily broaden narrow personal views through the influence of public spirit, Which will it be? And will it be either? a ‘The South will regret that the tour of the international conference delegates was cut short at Richmond. But it would not have paid to go on with only two delegates and s few attaches. The best plan would perhaps have been to have included some southern points like New Orjeans, Atlanta, Chattanooga, Richmond and Fortress Monroe in the first tour and made that somewhat shorter in the north and west. Still the result of the special southern tour could not, well have been fore- seem, oo “A equare-toed republican paper with a Roman nose,” is what Mr. Halstead proposes to make the Brooklyn journai of which takes editorial control today. This iss som what picturesque illustration, and one that is perbaps not easily understood by the world at large. Bat, from Mr. Halvtead’s past record, we interpret his “Rowan nose” figure to sym- bolize a keen scent for mews, while the “square-toed” attachment referred to may be taken ss notice to people who don’t think as he does that they had better be out of mus way.
