THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: Circulation of any Newspaper in the World, end as an Advertising Medium is worth more than all the other payers published in Washington. —————e— Our recent correspondence from Rockville {mdicates that the people along the line of the eanel do not derive much encouragement to hope for the restoration of the waterway from the recent move, ostensibly in that direction, made in bebalf of the bondholders ander the act of 1844. It appears that these bonds have beem largely acquired by the Baltimore and Obie railroad, and it is thought that this cor- poration is more anxious to defent the plan of Geompeting railroad along the canal bed than to go into the canal business itself, pxralleling its railroad tracks by a waterway. It is eus- pected that if the Baltimore and Ohio, xs cou- bondholder, can prevent the use of the eanal bed by a competing road, it will be satisfied with this result of its investment in canal bonds, and will permit the waterway to lie ruined and idle, forcing the transportation over its railroad tracks. The interests of the residents slong the canal of Wash- ington are im some respects identical. If the waterway could be restored and conducted on a paying basis under independent, business management, that would be the most desirable solution of the problem. But if the hope of this kind of waterway is visionary, and much has happened to indicate thut it is so, then the local mterests, like those of the canal countics, lie im the direction of the substitution of a new Failroad. Next to an independent, competitive waterway comes aif independent, competitive railway, For this reason both Washington aud the canal counties have approved the project of the Washington and Cemberiand railroad, and hesitate to be diverted from that approval by the reappearance of the vision of a restored waterway, which, under the circumstances, is Suspected to be a very dolusive phantom. Washington needs very much new, independent and competing s of road, aud their con- struction should be encouraged in every ju- dicious manner that suggests itvelf. It will be necessary in bringing new fines inte the city to enuse such methods of entrance to be adopted as will put the capital upon the same footing in respect to grade crostings as ‘that of the capitals of other civilized nations. The evil of dangerous and disfiguring wurface tracks, with which the city is now cursed, is to be eradicated here as in other greut cites, sud not to be enlarged. Wise con- ditions concerning the methods of entrance into convenient and accessible points within the capital's limits will readily be complied with by mew roads seeking admission, but if once a form of raiiroad occupation, hurtful to the public, is authorized and enjoyed, it is al- Most impossible, as experience has shown, to | secure from the District's legislature (which hns the misfortune not to represent it) a cor- rection of the evil It is essential therefore to give thoughtful consideration at the very out- set to the methods by which new railroads are to enter the capital, and to canse them to do so in such manuer as will neither threatea the lives of 1ts people nor impair the beauty of the city. Observing this precaution Washington should make active effort to secure new lines of communication, and should give hearty en- couragement to competitive railroad projects. ———————— The McPherson railroad bill, in the shape in which it slipped through the Senate yesterday, is morte objectionable thao the Atkinson biil as amended by the House. The geographical limitation upon the power of condemnation is not se satisfactory. Several amendments adupted by the House do not appear in the MePhersor bill, and there is no provision for a commission to consider relocation of the tracks, 4&4. Tho bill was called up unexpectedly when only @ fraction of the Senate was present, ata time when a single objection would have car- Picd itover,and was passed in a minute without consideration or dissent. Thirteen thousand citizens of the District had protosted against tt, and asked its substantial amendment, In dealing with this affair of the District the Senate ‘Was nota deliberative Lody, and though it is by law a part of the District's legislature, it was uot a representative body. It will be neces- sary for Senator Edmunds to repeat his as- sufances that the Senate is even less subject to railroad control than the House. $$ It appears that the expectation expressed that the repairson tht 1th strect tramway would be completed by the year 2000 was rather too sunguine. It is now estimated that atthe present rate of progress the company wiil not be able to complete the work until well on into the year 2100; and the District au- thorities think the road should be allowed the fail possession of the street with its elevated side tracks uatil at least that time. “The deck of an American vessel is the ter- ritory of the United States,” says Congressman MeCreary ia the Barruadia case. If this be in- ternational law why did not England have a ship of refuge in the Potomac just below Long bridge during the late war for the accom- modation of such confederates as desired to study the federal sitnation at closer range? Is the deck of an Euglish ship the territory of Great Britain? —_— Those constitutional delegates in convention in Frankfort, Ky., to revise the constitution of that state have been discussing with much warmth the omission of the clauses relating to slavery. Great heavens, gentlemen, this is 1890! Hasn't the fact reached Kentucky yet? Do the United American Veterans and the G. A. BR people want to fight for peace and harmony and bury their animosities in each others blood? ——— In the House there are Kennedy republicans, and Quay republicans, and personal repubii- cans, and political republicans, and partisan and patriotic republicans, and Senate republicans, and House repubiicane, and just plain republican republicans. No wonder there isa republican majority—there haan to be. ——_———+ Now we are going to have nickel plated war ‘Vessels and later wo may expect them to be silver mounted, copper-bottuimed, anti-corro- sive, non-explosive, adjusted to beat, cold and Position, and warranted not to rip, tear, ravel Or rum down at the heel. ————— If Major McKinley can down the deadly ger- fymander im his district he will havo mani- fested a strength equa! to « successful grapple with "92, The competing republican presiden- tial candidates are beginuing to tuke notice, oo ‘The “vile epithot” once wore got in its work yesterday and two prominent democrats of Wheeling, W.Va.,—Dr. Gurrison and Dr. Baird— thumped each ether like a pair of Congress- ae _——— — ‘The Bennett law democrats in Wisconsin har- ing decided to oppose their party, the chance of democratic success bas escaped through the Leek door. ee The courtesies and comities of Congress shoald be found, collated, labeled, inventoried, tubal and indexed, and then-- respected, ‘There is no use in inventing 80 much and pre- borving so little of a goed thing. eo ‘Mr. Cleveland would be perfectly willing to lee@ ficsh over these continued reports of his Ml bealth, but somehow he ean's do it. $$$» The Houwss may expunge Mr. Kennedy's Speech from the Kevor, but still that does not make him eligible tostump Pennsylvania for Detamater. ———$— Aloud burst is filling cugagements in Ar- Bansas this woek.
