13 a THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, times larger than that of auy other im the city. As a local NEW! Advertising Medina The engincer department is exercising @ commendable vigilance in guarding the stecets from lasting injury while the cbs tive power on the leadiag street city is being effected. The substitution of eable for horses has proceeded mucin more rapidly and atisfactorily on the avenue and t than it did on 7th street, and the street car company is entitled ty crcdit for the wise onergy displayed in the work and for the compuratively slight interference with publie fence aud cemfort which have re- ut to perform its daties thoroughly and entirely to the public satisfaction the company must see to it that smooth asphalt surfaces are restcred where breckages are found by the side of the new-laid track, and also where the aspbalt has been broken by temporary tracks. Tux Srau bas been so much interested im the improvement of Wash- ington’s street railroad system and has fonght se long for a change ia tho molive power em- ployed, for more rape! transit and for the grooved rail, that the prospect of a speedy re- alization of ite hopes so fur sa the principal lines of the city are concerned fills it with pro- found satisfaction. The advantages to be gained by the whole city from transit by cable and storage battery instead of horse- power need not be repeated. The Lenefits from the additional smoothness of the streets, when cubblestone ridges be- tween the tracks and the old-fashioned project- ing rail have been abviished, are also obvious. ‘The engineer departmenthas in mind,of course. | the securing of the latter Lenetits to the fullest | extent in its wise requirement that all surface Dreakages whatsover, due to the street car com- pany’s change of system, shall be promptly and thoroughly repaired. With its broad, smooth aspbalt surface from eurb to carb, unbroken by cobblestones, projecting > ruts, the avenue will be unquestionably the tinest parade street in the world, and will afford an easy and pleasant marching ground for the tens of thou- sands of veterans who will appear in procession upon itat the Grand Army cucampment nest year. oo Propositions to the farmers to hold wheat and cottoa are more alluring than substantial. Ifdone the act of withdrawing must be per- formed by shrewd manipulators accustomed to making corners and sometimes to severe losses im the attempt to do so. The superiority of American cotton ever the products of other lands and the fact that we produce nearly turee-quarters of the world’s supply are factors im our favor, it is truc. The trouble would be uot in the condition of the foreign market, but in the improbability of sectring convert among fo many producers. It would be easy perhaps to get them to agree to hold the erop in excess of six and a half million ‘ales, but to make sure of their acting up to the agreement through thick or thin, when at times they might seem to be losi would be very difficult. A small number of capitalista, able to bay and keep the surplus, mizht, perhaps, carry out the project, if it coukl,be executed at all. Would the capitalists work with the planters, and if so what inducements couid the latter offer that would not transfer to the cornering capitalista all the benefits of the corner? As to whent the Amertean producer has more competition, althongh it is admitted that the comyetition. in the light of a slackened product and famine in Europe. is not so great this year as usual: It will probably be harder for the wheat producer than for the cotton producer to retuin a large part of the product for highe: p On the part of either the cornering project, as a general movement, is weil nigh es. apossible. Postmaster amaker recently sent to all postmasters at county-seat towns instrue- tions to visit the post oitices in their respective counties end when the tour of inspection was compicted to report thercon. Among the nu- merous qiestionsdown on the schedule the most resting is the one which asks: “Does the postmaster study and understand the postal | Jaws and regulations and reaiize the responsi- bility aud dignity of being an officer of the United States?” Ata very moderate computa- tioa it would take aboat seventeen dollars’ worth of almost anybody's time to study and understand the postal laws and regulations, and when it is considerod that many country postmasters receive compensation ranging from six to twelve dollars per annum no one should be surprised if there is ignorance as to regula~ tions and careleseness as to responsibility and dignity. ———_—+ Poor Bulmaceia seems to have been so wound up in destiny’s coil that no way of escape Offered itself to his bewildered mind except the way that was open to Brutus and Cato—death by bis own hand.
