THE EVENING STAR. (WASHIN GTON: HE EVENING STAR bes the falleas Local Cirenlation of any Newspaper in the Werld, aad as an Advertising Medtum is worth more than all the other papers published in Washtagton. ee ‘The railroad facilities of Washington are in- adequate. More roads, whether opening up new fields or competing with existing lines, ‘ought to be weleomed and encouraged in every reasonable way. Railroad extensions to this city should be invited and the securing of con- venient station facilities approved. The main Precaution which the capital must observe ia ‘the proper regulation of the method by which new railrogds reach reasonably central stations. No additional grade-crossings should be per- ‘mitted within the city limita, unless at those few pointe where their endurance is proved to be unavoidable, and at these points, if there are any, precantions should be taken which will reduce the danger and inconvenience to a minimam. The capitel has reached a point of development in attractiveness and population which entitles it to demand the same considera- ‘tion in the matter of protection from disfigure- ment and security to life which is enjoyed in the capitals of the old world. Nor is there likely to be any difficulty in making the neces- sary arrangements with new roads. The latter are as antious to get into the city as the city is to welcome them, and will make many conces- sions to secure a foothold. The railroad efforte to reach Washington have been thwarted not by the people of the city, but by the railroads which now occupy the feld, and which wish no ‘Rew comers that are not tributary to them. It is a slander upon this community to rep- resent it, as some of the local newspapers do, as unappreciative of the benefits which rail- reads confer, and as hostile to the extension of transportation facilities by the admission of new roads. No city has ever suffered more from lack of competition between railroad common carriers, and there is none, unless it de some western town, created outright by the railroads, which bas done more for such cor- porations. For a long time its only railroad was the Baltimore and Ohio, which bad free right of way over the public streets and a sta- tion site at the foot of the Capitol of the United States. Being without competition it did as it pleased. It wast that time unprogressive, old fogyisb and even hostile to Washington, choking ite growth in the suppose interest of Lalti- more. The Baltimore and Potoma: when it came was hailed as a deliverer. It received free right of way over streets and magnificent aventes and a free station site, first at the intersection of Maryland and Vir- ginis avenues, and later, as & loan, at the present location om the public park con- necting the White House and Capitol. It is true that the public is now dissatisfied with the corporation which it then gladly welcomed. But thas is because the road has turned the loan of the mall intoa gift, has seized other public reservations not granted to it, has vio- lated all laws designed to protect life and prop- erty in the section through which it passes, has made no improvement for the public welfare im abolishing grade-crossings such ar advancing civilization has brought to other cities and wach aa the road itself makes elsewhere, and has gone into politics and governs the commu- nity through its constitutional law makers, ob- taining for its murders and illegal sppropria- tions the sanction of law. The capital wants more railroads and it wants them by the dozen, and it bolds out its hands to them; but it cer- tainly means to take more precautions concern- ing the chartering legislation than was ob- served in respect to the two which have in suc- cession placed their feet upan its neck. In the light of its experience it would be very foolixh if it did not. te One of the common objections to the inter national copyright bill is that it will increase the cost of books. This is in large part a mis- apprehension. All the splendid literature of Europe from the carliest period down to the date of the act will be opeft to the public of America at old prices. The only works that could possibly be made mare expensive by rea- son of the lew are the foreign books not Yet pablisbed. Such of these as are re- peimted will, it is certain, be of a higher char- soter than thove which are now furniuhed for American consumption. The market for cheap works will be abundantly supplied. ‘fo com- penste for any increase in tho price of this foreign literature there will probably be a sub- stantial decrease in the price of American books made possible under the international copyright, and whieh is not now possible. Cheep American literature is, at least, as neces sary to the American public as cheap foreign literature. Patriotic impulse would make the thoughtful citizen feel that it is even more im- portant if we are to have an American public spirit developed on American lines of culture. —_<ce_—___— Newstates have, in the public estimation, mere prominence than is accorded to older comupunities in the political arrangements necessary to full organization. Therefore the electiva of United States Senators in Idaho and Seuth Dekota excites a degree of interest that does not atte to sueh elections when they oc- cur inolder states unlew there are extraordi- nary circumstances conmected with the lat- ter. bacinca papery eT was arranged to divuie the houors, Sheupe and Mr. W.
