Evening Star Newspaper, August 14, 1890, Page 4

THE EVEN WASHINGTON THURSDAY CROse x s no . THE EVENING STAR has the fullest Local Cirenlation of any Newspaper in the World, and as an Advertising Medi fs worth more than ali the other prpers pubiished in Washington. The information that Commissioner L. G. Hine has sent in his resignation to the Pre! dent will cause regret in the community. Mr. ‘Hine was specially fitted for the responsible and exacting position of Commissioner by his large acquaintance with District affairs, his knowledge of District law, and the tact and unfailing good temper he showed in his intercourse with the public. It is understood that the reason assigned for his resignation in his letter to the President was the importance of having entire harmony exist between the Commissioners, This prob- ably refers to the friction that has existed for some time between the civil and engineering departments of the District government. The nature of this conflict of jurisdiction is set forth in substantially the following statement sent to Congress by the civil Commissioners for the ac- tion of that body: “Inasmuch as the law does not assign special duties to the Engineer Commissioner, except- ing as to the water department, which is also under control of the board of Com- missioners, and the duties which are assigued to the two officers of the engineer corps de- tailed to assist him involve the expenditure of nearly ali the funds about which a dispute can probably arise as to the validity of the ex- penditure, it seems but right that said assist- auts should be assigned as assistants to the Commissioners, instead of to one Commissioner culy. The majority of Commissioners have now no right to call upon said assistants even for information, and can give them no direc- tions concerning District work. The incon- venience of this condition is frequently very great. Its absurdity is evident in the light of the fact that theCommissioners, appointed from civil life, alone, give bonds for the legal ex- penditure of all appropriations for District pur- The House District committee have had this measure before them for some time and have taken no action, and there seems to be no prob- ability that they will do so this session. It is greatly to be regretted that the failure of Con- gress to pass this or some measure defining the lines of jurisdiction of different District offi- cials should result in the loss of so acceptable a Commissioner as Mr. Hine. —+ The gross debt of counties has decreased since 1870, but increased since 1880. Throwing tables aside, it is found that the middle states show @ decrease of debt of 8 per cent, the southern states an increase of 15 per cent and the western states an increase of 31 per cent. ‘The increase of county debt in the west (over $27,000,000) is easily explicable by the sudden growth of that region requiring or seeming to require an increase in county expenditure. It ought to be observed that while the gross debt of counties, so far as reported, is $145,693,840, the net debt after deducting the sinking fund, cash in treasury and total available resources is only $115,344,654, with an annual interest charge of $7,318,374. It is expected that the increase in local indebtedness will be counter- balanced by the decrease in state indebtedness and that the final showing will bo gratifying in View of the rapid progress of the country in wealth and population. —$——— + The people of Mt. Pleasant have secured a portion of the things that they demanded at the hands of the Washington and Georgetown Rail- way company. Tho president says he will Within a day or two, or as soon as the tickets ean be printed, reduce the fare by knocking off the extra three cents. In other words, the short line will continue, but there will be no eharge for the inconvenience. The public using it will pay o2¢ rate to and from the city. The people of Nt. Pleasant have found that agitation and a good deal of it pays where sircet railroads are concerned. Se Gen. Ben. Butler of Massachusetts and Maj. McKinley of Ohio made a couple of G. A. K. speeches at Boston last night which have cre- ated more or less sensation. Gen. Butlerin the course of his remarks on pensions said “the soldier wants more than flattery.” Maj. Mc- Kinley said “the soldier attaches no money valuation to his services.” Comparisons are odorous, no doubt, and it would therefore be disagreeable to compare the statements of the general and the major, but which of them is correct in his opinion is not a difficult problem to solve. Gi West Virginia now has a Farmers’ Alliance and if it can get gubernatorial and other elec- tion returns through the legislature more expe- ditiously than was done with the last ones the alliance will be looked upon as providential in- terposition, or words to that effect, — hundred acres of his farm on the Hudson toa syndicate for nearly one million doliars, It will be observed that this is at about the rate for Washington real estate. $$$ Five of those Central American republics Propose to coalesce for the better maintenance of peace and the question naturally arises if one of them has a resolution seven times a week, will five of them have five times as many in one-fifth of the time? ————- = The President came home from Boston feel- ing rested in body and mind notwithstanding he remained in that intellectual center for as much as forty-eight hours, ——————$—-—____ The average American boodler has missed the glorions golden opportunity of his life in not having been down in Buenos Ayres for the past four or five years. The picking has been so rich down there that even a New York alder- man's eyes would have bulged out on his face to have seen the chances a gracious Providence had kindly placed in his way. The American photographer may not bea thing of beanty or a joy forever, buthe photo- graphs things of beauty which are joys forever, when he can secure a negative that isa nega- tive — +. = One thing,»t least, has been proven quite con- clusively by the democratic fight in South Caro- lina, and that is that one democrat may call an- other a liar, with profane trimmings, and not be slain for it om the spot. It has been done over and over again and no funerals have occurred. What luck a republican would have if he tried it remains to be seen. oo Among the passengers on the Teutonic arriv- ing yesterday in New York after the fastest trans-Atlantic trip on record were, according to the dispatches, “Fanny Davenport and husband.” Is it in order to ask who Mr. Day- euport is at present? : a Gen. Sherman refused to oceups a place on the platform at the G.A.R. meeting in Boston, alleging that he wished to remain with the Missouri delegation. This excuse is too diapha- nous. The general was afraid to go up Lecause he knew all the bands would play “Marching Through Georgia.” ‘ ——_—_— Another steamship has crossed the Atlantic fn the fastest time yet recorded and as soon as the last one that did it completes her extensive repairs she will come out aud try it again. Some ¢f these days one of these fast ships will reach Jand in about fifteen minutes, but it will be at the bottom side of about four miles of water. oo Minneapolis is known by no other name to Bt Paul people than Pad City.
