ad THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: TUESDAY May 27, is90, Editor, THE EVE: Circulation of and as « G STAR bas the fullest Local y Newspaperin World, Advertising Medium ts worth n all the other papers published in “The Atkinson bill appeals to the careful consideration and the calm judgment of every member of the House who hae the interests of Washington at heart. It is @ measure which has in view the settlement of the much vexed question as to the rights of a railroad corpora- tion in the District, end the power sought by the Baltimore and Potomac railroad from Con- gress is nothing more than # concession of the tights which every other railroad enjoys in ery state of the Union.” — Washington Post, It is almost inconceivable that any induce- ment can exist sufficiently tempting to seduce a newspaper, published and intended for cir- culation in Washington, into indorsing the At- kinson bill How does this delectable meas- ure propose to settle “the much vexed ques- tion as to the rights of # railroad corporation in the District’? Its tirst section legalizes cer- tain tracks which the Supreme Court of the United States says are illegal, and also legal- izes the unauthorized occupation of certain property of the United States by these tracks. Congress gave the railroad free right of way over the public streets, and loaned it the val- nable privilege of temporarily occupying the mail with a station aud of severing and dis- figuring this park with tracks. This taste of the government's bountv, not enjoyed any- where else, apparently demoralized the road, for instead of paying its way, as in other cities, it seized what other government prop- erty it wanted without even asking for it, and did its freight and storage business imex- pensively, but illegally. cn the public streets and reservations. Among its illegal acquisi- tions it traversed and occupied the four small reservations numbered 174, 178, 241 and 386 (see reports of commissioner of public build- ings and grounds for 1886 and 1887). The first section of the Atkinson bill im effect presents these reservations to the road, and pats it ap- provingly upon the back for its bold disregard of law in the original seizure, It appears therefore that one of the proposed “rights of # railroad corporation iu the District” which, we are gravely informed, “every other rail- road enjoys in every state in the Union,” is that of playing the part of freebooter with impunity and of having its offenses promptly condoned by the local legislature, even though « ‘premium be thereby placed upon lawlessness, When Uncle Sam wants property for business purposes in his capitai city he buys it, very properly refraining from violating the trust under which be holds the city’s parks by divert- ing them from the public use and enjoyment. But the railroad under the Atkinson bill's view of its inalienable rights is to continue indefi- nitely to spoil the largest park within the city's limits and is to be pardoned and rewarded if it inadvertently gobbles up other and smaller reservations. It is to enjoy privileges in respect to the property of the government which are denied to Uncle Sam himself. And it is seriously asserted that such concessions are enjoyed by railroads in every city. The demands of the second section of the bili are, as Tux Star has pointed out. equaliy extraordinary and unjust and the power of condemnation proposed by the third section for the necessary enlarge- ment of the road's freight facilities is too broad in the field of its geographical applica- tion. Butasa settlement of the much vexed railroad problem the bill is not more notable fur what it has done than for what it has left undone. The requests of the people for relief from the danger and obstruction of a frequently impassable belt of surface tracks. and for the removal or redtction of the evil of the surface occupation of the mall by tracks have been totally ignored. This is not the method of settlement adopted in other cities, even by the Pennsylvania road. In Philadel- phia it reports that it has removed grade- crossings on the passenger lines and for nine miles out of the city. It has changed the lo- cation of its station there at a cost of several millions, merely as Mr. Roberts explained to satisfy the public, It bought, actually bought, @ government reservation in that city paying for the ground a million dollara, It owns more than 500 acres of land in that city. so that it is able to say that it does not occupy the streets to the inconvenience of the public. In Washington, where it has re- ceived so much gratuitously that it is com- pelled to pay for in other cities, it does not propose by this ~‘settlement” to relax its grip upon the mall, to reduce in any respect the disfigurement of its occupation of that park, or to remove a single one of the grade cross- ings at which it has killed or wounded over a hundred persons. It proposes on the contrary to convert intoa permanent gift the loan of the mall, to legalize its holding of the govern- ment property which it has appropriated with- out authority, and to secure unlimited range for the future. The grant of extraordmary aud undeserved concessions to the railroad in addition toa needed enlargement of freight facilities, and the denial of ail requests for ac- companying legislation to protect the iives and proverty of the people and increase the beauty of the city, constitute the settlement of the railroad problem which is proposed by the Atkinson bill and commended by our cotem- porary. —_——. + = ___ The passage yesterday of the Columbus Memorial Park bill in the House is matter for deepest congratulation. The measuro was amended in some respects and will, therefore, require further action in the Senate. But it is hoped that there will be no difficulty in the settlement of the differences between the two ebambers. The citizens of the District have a right to feels high degree of satisfaction over the good prospect for soon having a magnifi- cent park named in honor of the Discoverer of America. It will add greatly to the attractive- ness of the national capital to visitors as well as tothe comfort and health of its residents, Not only wili Washington and the District of Columbis get what they have long desired and needed—an attractive park, but Rock Creek, one of the most picturesque small streams in ‘this region, will be delivered from the danger of becoming a common sewer for the city and & source of pollution and contamiustion to the section of the District which it traverses. It is earnestly Loped that the bill may soon become a law. ———- = _____ The President has made admirable appoint- ments for the District of Columbia upon the world’s fair Columbian commission. The gen- tlemen selected fur commissioners and alter- nates are among our est-known aud most- highly esteemed citizens. Standing high in our business circles, distinguished for energy, ability and public spirit their appointments cannot fail to give satisfaction. The commis- siouers have charge of the selection of a site and of plans and specifications for buildings. ‘They allot space to exhibitors, classify the ex- hibits, decide in a word the plan and scope of the exposition. The judges aud examiners are appointed by them, and they have control of the rules and regulations and of the adimission and other charges. It will thus be seen that the place of commissioner of the world’s fair is one burdened with duties and responsibilities of an exacting nature. The District of Colum- bia will be as well represented on the commis- sion, Tue Sram thinks, as any community in the republic. The committee of citizens under the intelli- gent and energetic leadership of Mr. ©. C, Glover, who, voicing public sentiment. have championed the Columbus park bill and have pushed it to a successful issue, after it was pro- wounced dead and buried by enemies and luke- warm supporters, deserve the warmest con- gratulations upon the result of the struggle in the House yesterday. And the thanks of the community are also due to the friends of the measure in the House, snd especially upos the District committee, whose able and persevering SMITH & WARDWELL, my2toje2 705-707-709 Market space.
