4 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: WEDNESDAY --July 23, THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Lecal Circulation of any Newspaper in the World, and as am Advertising Medium is worth more than all the ether papers published in Washington. The advocates of total surrender to the rail- Toad pronounce absurd and unwarrantable the assumption that if Congress now grants what the railroad asks the railroad will henceforth close its ears to what the people ask, The road has been deaf to the appeals of the people for, lo, these many years, and if it can get from the public and Congress what it now needs without gratifying any of these requests by way of compensation, what earthly reason will exist to justify the belief that its ears will be here- after opened? Every citizens’ association which has beon organized in Washington, down to aad iuciuding the board of trade, has asked for these improvements. Nearly every board of Commissioners has made the same appeal, and snumber of them have vividly pictured the evil of existing conditions and presented prac- tical plans of relief. During all these years the railroad has steadily ignored every request for improvement. It has intensified these evils by habitual violations of law, and, confident of its grip upon Congress, it has shown a lofty contempt for the people, the officials and the courts of Washington, as well as for its lawa The railroad and transportation com- es of the board of trade, cot prising some of the most prominent ci! zene of Washington, held a conference last Jan- uary with Vice President Thompson, in which he indicated the intention of the road to intro- duce the measure, condoning its illegal acts and granting it various privileges, which was after- ward presented by Mr. Atkinson. The objec- tions to certain details of the bill were thea suggested, and the request made that pro- visions for improvement in the conditions of the railroad occupation should be coupled with the bill, These committees were most friendly in feeling towards the road, and indicated that if it would insert in the measure which it was Preparing ,some reasonable concessions to the publie they would work with all their might for the speedy passage of the railroad’s bill. Mr. Thompson snubbed them. The same fate has met every other suggestion of compr. mise andcommon concessions, both those made by the directors of the board of trade in a resolu- tion, and by the railroad committee at congres- sional hearings. The railroad bas consistently acted as if it owned Congress, as if the mere | indication of its wishes to that body would suflice to secure their gratification, as if the request of the people for the protection of hfe and property was presumptuous, as if it right- fully exercised despotic rule at the capital so that the people must crawl to its feet with their requesta which would be considered in ite own good time and grented or refused at its royal pleasure. A public spirit is developing in Washington. ‘The capital is getting too la-ge to be trampled upon and kicked by a single corporation. The people are reaching that stage in municipal development ia which solfivh, jealous, snarling factions and sections sink their differences and combine for the common welfare. The people of the city need better prote tion of life and limb and « reduction of the slaughter at grade crossings. The merchants of the city need greater freight facilities. The capital for its beauty as a city needs the mall, or at the least a complete covering of the ugliyess of railroad tracks upon it. All these needs can be and should be satisfied at once, and no class of citizens should selfishly insist that one need be met in such a manner as to sacrifice the others. Trade is important. So is the beauty of the city. Human life is the most important of ali oes The severance of the Tillmanites from the regular Demoerats, or of the regular Demo- crats from the Tillmanites—whichever the point of view takea—seems to be a foregone con- clusion, Reasoning on this assumption some of the brainiest Republicans in South Carolina, in official position under the federal administra tion, predict that there will be—for the pur- poses at least of the proacnt campaign—a fusion teket between th. 1) mocratic and Republican regular parties. isis woud be the mast re- vearkable outcome of southern politics since the war, _—_—_——— + This is mortuary Congress, nine members of the House having diel up.to date, including sume experience] and able men.
