THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: FRURSDA - May 22, 1890. CROSBY Ss. NovES. _Eattor. THE EVENING STAR bas the fullest Local Circulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other papers published in Washington. It is possible that the Atkinson railroad bill will be acted upon by the House on the next District day. and every true friend of Wasb- ington in the House should be present to oppose it. The bill proposes to confirm the Baltimore and Potomac’s illegal occupation of four reservations of the United States and portions of certain streets by legaliz~ ing the road’s illegal tracks, It proposes to delegate to the Commissioners the exclusive power of Congress to au- thorize deviations from the chartered routes of railroads in the District so far only as this road's line is concerned. All other roads must still go to Congress for permission to deviate. Finally it confers upon the road power to con- dema private property. Washington has con- tended that no more public property should be given to this road without compensation to the public; that no different legislation should be provided for its benefit than for that of the other railroads and common carriers of the District; and that the power of condemnation should be much more limited in its scope of application, and that the grant of it should also be accompained by concessions to the public, The concessions sought by the people bave been the removal of grade crossings along a portion of the road's course through the city, and the relief of the mali from tracks, or if this be found impracticable the complete covering of the tracks in the mall. The evils of the present railroad occupation and the im- mense advantages to be gained by the pro- posed changes are obvious to every one who has studied the local situation, There is no need of greater haste in supplying the wants of the Baltimore and Potomac than those of the Baltimore and Ohio, and the latter road's requests are receiving fair and deliberate con- sideration by the Senate District committee in connection with the requests of the people. No greater haste is demanded in extend- ing the road’ freight facilities than in protecting the lives of the people by a reduction of the dangers at grade crossings, at which over a hundred persons have been killed or mangled. The Baltimore and Poto- mac removed its demands from the considers- tion of the Senate where the railroad battles have hitherto been fought and pushes them, unaccompanied by the slightest offer of con- cessions to the public, before the legislative body in which the questions raised are new and im which the true relation of Mr. Atkinson's proposition to the whole railroad problem may not be quickly perceived. The House will be- tray its legislative trust as the constitutional gaardian and protector of the interests of the people of the District if it permits this flank movement to be successful and this outrageous proposition to be passed. ———————t ‘The resignation of J. D. Abrahams, deputy comptroller of the currency, to accept the cashiership of the Southern National Bank of York city is another argument in refuta- tion of the tradition that men who accept gov- ernment positions are not capable of hglding any others acceptably. In the past four or five years government officials have gone from Washington to New York and have taken posi- tionsand held them successfully among the leading commercial and financial men of the country. This is especially true of those offi- cials holding financial positions, and it would appear that no better school for training high classfinanciers exists than the Treasury De- partment of the United States. In every in- stance the transfers are made at increased sal- aries, proving that business men are willing to show material appreciation of efficiency in the government service. Some of the leading business men of Washington as well as other cities today have been government clerks, and it issomewbat remarkable that very few re- tired government officials hold political posi- tions, that is to say elective positions, They have learned that the security of a business life is preferable to the hazard of politics and they choose the better part. ———— : Any project looking to the social, industrial, intellectual or spiritual improvement of the colored race in the United States is sure to re- ceive the sympathy and support of all good citizens, The negroes in Georgia have organ- ized s land company with a capital of ten mil- hon dollars. It is ofticered by colored men and the stock, it is said, is all to be subscribed by persons of that race. The negroes of Georgia are for the most part prosperous, and this is on its face a hopeful undertaking. They are, however, new in the business of organ- izing and managing corporations and the re- sults of the enterprise will depend very much vpon the character of the agents to whom the entrust its active management. panes a The Swiss federal council decides that when 50.000 citizens demand an alteration in the constitution it shall be submitted to popular vote. Our own constitutional changes should not be so easily submitted, but it would be bet- ter if they were made more independent of the two houses of Congress than they are. For in- stance, becanse the Senate cannot be bronght to see that election by the people of the states voting directly is a better way to choose Senators than electing them by legislature it will be almost impossible to get a joint resolu- tion through Congress to submit the propose d constitutional amendments to the states, rr ee ‘The American republic does not sympathize with efforts to excite revolution, with an imtended annexation sequel, in Lower Cali- fornia, The United States cannot afford to enlarge their borders by filibustering enter- prises undertaken at the expense of sister re- publics, If the story telegraphed from San Francisco be true it is well that it is prema- turely divulged, ee — If Mr. Armour of Chicago wants to ship his “dressed beef” into the bailiwick of the Old Dominion, the latter must submit and there is no recourse save and except the individual re- fusal to buy the “unclean” product of Chicago, ‘The Constitution does not prescribe the Virgin- ian’s dill of fare. ———_~o-—____ Congressman Jobn Allen deserves the thanks of the House for not singing “Little Annie Rooney” as a tariff argument. a Mr. Cleveland has agreed to attend the Dal- {as, Texas, fair in the fall, and in the mean- time the sheep of that state will enter a pro- teat, — The Republican candidate draws from the Montana Supreme Court the Silver Bow shriev- sity, and this seems to end the archery of 1589-90, $$ Mr. McKinley doubtless thinks on the subject of tariff amendments that a miss 1s as good as amile. ——————- The United States Senate will now proceed to show the country what it knows about the ———- Evidently the republicans of the House did not exact any promises concerning the support of party measures from contestants Tecently seated bv party votes im the House.
