Evening Star Newspaper, August 9, 1890, Page 4

THE EVENING STAR. ~~ WASHINGTON August 9, 1890. EVENING STAR has 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 has been shown conclusively that the lead- ing “kicker” against the Pennsylvania Railroad Company has been Uncle Sam, through his Supreme Court and such executive branches of bis goverument as the commissioner of pub- lic grounds. The road was mistaken concern- ing the real “kickers” against it, and it is equally mistaken concerning the persons at Washington who “abuse” and discredit it It is most abused not by the people of Washing- tom, but by its bad advisers here, who have convinced it that it may safely abandon at the defenseless capital the enterprising and pro- gressive policy which it has found it wise to adopt in dealing with self-governing cities; who have taught it to believe that it can drive rough-shod over this pecaliarly-situated com- munity certain of the connivance or active assistance of a Congress represented as en- turely subservient to its will; who have caused it, as heretofore suggested, to undergo a local transformation, converting the benevolent and beneficent railroad Dr. Jekyll of Philadelphia into the abhorrent Mr. Hyde at Washington, with ugly features and clutching fingers, ready to trample upon anybody who gets in his path, It has been most \diseredited not by the people of! Washington, but by its — lobby,! which bas disgusted Congressmen of the small- est sensitivencss by its audacity and shameless- ness, It hasbeen most imposed -upon by its paid agents, who have deceived it concerning public and congressional opinion, and by its petitition canvassers, paid at two cents a name, who have collected from it for names of dead men, of boys, of persons attributed to houses which do not exist, of persons who do not exist in the houses to which they are attributed, of individuals unknown to the directory maker, and of existing persons who swear that they did not sign. The railroad should reverse its poliey, and it would soon find itself in agree- ment with the people. If it will disregard the lobby and agents who have deceived and diseredited it, and adopt the same intelligent | Lusiuess policy as in other cities, the railroad problem will soon be solved. siden ae 3 Ae The Baltimore Sun appreciates the same points that have struck Tux Srar in the matter of the post office here. The Sun contends with | Tur Stan that it ought to be a handsome | structure, in keeping with the other public | buildings at the capital of the country. “The | new post office of Washington city,” it says, “should be constructed to serve not merely the needs of the present day, but the business of the people and the government for many years tocome. This business must grow all the time; it cannot possibly diminish, so that it would be | false economy to put up a cheap structure and have to tear it down in a short while to give place to a building which would suit. The peo- ple of the whole country use the post office of the capital, and they are allinterested in the city having the best, most conveniently ar- ranged and durable building that can be de- signed and on a liberal scale. It would be a ‘misfit’ to have anything except a marble or other stone structure in # handsome style of architecture.” —_——<$—<— The unanimous passage through the Senate of Senator Piumb’s resolution, conveying to those most nearly concerned the desire of Con- gress and the people to have the remains of General Grant transferred from a place where they are shamefully neglected toa place where they will be under the watchful and reverent eye of the republic augurs an auspicious end- ing of the matter. Tux Srar trusty that the +unquestionable fact that the people wish for the consummation of this transfer will suffice to secure its early accomplishment. The great hero may repose in the shade of Arlington, where so many thousands of the heroes he led im battle repose, and there, attended by the re- spect and honor of the United States, and in proximity to the tomb of Washington, he will await the sounding of the last trump. —— pltccsomiaie 2 Soe As the census returns roll in and receive their finishing touches the fact appeara that the northern optimists and southern pessimists were wrong in at least a part of their calcula- tion, The Philadelphia Press, which puper | has been studying the developments from the latest returns, says this morning: ‘The six New England states will lose at least six and | perhaps seven members of Congress at the next apportionment, and the rural districts of the middle and central states are extremely likely | to lose six or seven more. This loss will be almost altogether in republican districts, and, while it will be counterbalanced by gains in the west, it will also be accompanied by the gain of seats inthe south to the democratic party.” This state of facts causes the Press to make this comment from its party's standpoint: “All this, we need hardly say, adds tothe ne- cessity for passing at the present session an elections bill which shall give national super- vision of national elections, and insure that the Votes in this new distribution of political power shall at least be fairly counted.” — —__—— The advocates of the Atkinson railroad bill will make every effort to give the impression that s petition for the retention of the station on the mall is a petition for their measnre. But this effort will fail The signers of the pe- tition favoring the Atkinson bill numbered less , than two hundred, and many who signed under @ misapprehension heve since added their Bames to the opposing petition. Where the | supporters of the bili are numbered by the dozen, its opponents are numbered by the thousand, $< Elsewhere in Tux Stan a communication is published which advocates a compromise with the railroad and relates some interesting facts concerning the road's admissions of the practi- cability of remedying the evil of its grade crossings. The depression of tracks is the only method of relief concerning the practi- eability of which any doubts have ever been suggested; and it appears that to the testimony of Engineer Commissioner Twining, Engineer Commissioner Ludiow and Chief Engineer | Douglas of the Baltimore and Ohio, affirming ! the entire feasibility of this method, is to be added the admission of the Peunsyivania road itwelf, —— Hydrophobia has taken a new method of communication in Minnesota and a number of people are suffering in St. Paul with hydro- phobie convulsions brought on by drinking milk from « cow which had been bitten by a | mad dog. Heretofore the virus of a mad ani- | mal has been cousidered a venom, affecting the | system only through the blood directly. Now, | that it is shown to be a poison, having a simi- | lar effect when taken into the stomach. the physicians and scientists may find a new en- trance by which they can come into the mys- teries of this dreadful disease. oo So far as the employes of the New York Cen- tral Railroad system are concerned the Knights ot Labor are now Knights of Rest, This is matter for further paradox when it is consid- ered that the quiescent folks are called strik- on Siete The Delaware democracy in convention as- sem! is something like the Athenian popu- lar aisembly. Everybody entitled to be pres- ent at the gathering, whether representative oF represented, is there or thersabouw. <<< Evidently there is no politics in the strike @n the New York Central, or the strikers would net rua counter to the G. A. R. ata time when a strike will most seemingly affect its interesta, — —— It appears that the sailors who deserted from the white squadron did not desert. They merely went ashore as political economists to pat the money into circulation which had been beid in reserve during their absence, A THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON W. A.
