THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: MONDAY...... CKOSBY 5. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation Im Washingten three times larger than that of any other paper im the city. As a local NEWS paper and Advertising Medium it bas no competitor. ‘Two plans for amending the higher judiciary system in the District of Columbia so as to secure increased efficiency dnd meet the grow- ing wants of the public have been discussed. One, favored by the Supreme Cour: of the District, is for an increase of that court from six to nine members. The other is for a Court of Appeals. The latter plan is embodied in bill reported in the House by Chairman Culber- son of the judiciary committee. Appeals are to be direct from this new tribunal to the Su- preme Court of the United States, the District Supreme Court becoming a tribunal for the trial of cases only. The objections raised or likely to be raised to the bill are chiefly these: expense and loss of dignity to the Supreme Court. Ifa bill were passed making the places of recorder of deeds’ and register of wills sal- aried offices the saving would mect the ad- @itional outlay. There is something in the charge that the proposed increase of salaries of the Supreme Court justices and the lessening of labor by the devolution of appeals on the Court of Appeals do not compensate to the Supreme Court for the loss of dignity. But, as Mr. Culberson says, the present plan amounts almost to a denial of justice, while the ‘new system will enable the judges of the Dis- trict Supreme Court to give ali their time to the trial of cases and the three judges of the Appeals Court would probably transact more basiness than the five as originally proposed. Whatever scheme is tinally adopted by Congress, whether an enlargement of the present ma- chinery of justice or the supply of a new aux- iliary machin z£ Stan hopes that the meas- ure framed will be carefully considered in all of its details and suited to the wants of the Dis- trict, and not to some ideal condition or to some other commanity than that for which it is imtended. The main thing is to have promptly enacted a measure of some sort which will enabie the local judicia! machinery to work satisfactorily and rapidly, so that it may not be in its operations years belind cur- rent controversies. ——<+s___ The subject of “The Decline of Railroad Building” is treated ably and fully in the Feb- ruary number of the Enyincering Magazine by ‘Thomas L. Greene. While in 1889 and 1390 the construction amounted in the United States to about 5,700 miles, it was in 1891 a little ever 4,000 and quite 5,000 for the continent. The adat: wero mostly branches or short connecting lines. This decline is due to fiuancial depression caused by the Baring fa: certain commercial reas The new mileage represents principally work under way at the beginning of the year. A feature of the period isthe consolidation of railroads into systems. Railways in Europe are built te accommodate existing traffic; in America to create trade—an ewential difference. The pioneer American oad carried clothing and shoes to the prairie and brought back the settlers’ grain and cattle. Competing roads after « time of confusion and Fivalry result in benefit to both roads. This writer differs from those who have assumed that wheat production has reached its limit ap- parently because, as alleged, we may import cheaper wheat from Indis or South America. Our whea. acreage, he maintains, by irrigation or use of land now used for other crops can be doubled. It is not a question, in his view, of productiveness or limit of wheat land, but one of protit, and so long a3 there is any profit fermers will contincs to grow wheat. He might have extenie2 the remark to cotton, tobacco and other crops. Mr. Greene, of course, is presenting the railroad’scase when he points outas the best hope for the reduc- tion of expense, and therefore of the possible charge, the consolidation of shoct lines into a system and an incresse of trafic by further extensions, which are going on. In their rail- way reports Americans say too much about large earnings st times and not enough of a possible decrease, he thinks. And be insists very properly, from the conditions of all busi- | ness in the United States, that railway earnings | should be reserved in goud years to offset losses in bad,years. ——_+-____ Starving Russia is receiving the attention of Denevolent people all through the country. Over 4.500,000 pounds of flour have been sub- scribed by the millers of the United States. Railways carry it free, and the steamer Mix- souriof the Atlantic transport line has been donated to carry it across the ocean. The gov- ernor of Indiana has issued a proclamation to the people of that state and active steps in the matter are being taken there. It is an oppor- tunity for magnificent philanthropy, which the people of the country refuse to slight even though Congress has seen fit to ignore it. ——————~--_— It is well to do great things impressively. Mr. Gladstone will make his reappearance in Pariiament on Washington's birthday, and the liberal party will signalize the occasion by an attack on the Balfour proposals. Tho Irish party show an inclination not to accept most of these proposals 2s sufficient home rule measure. ——+-—_-__ The petitions in favor of the ratification of ‘the Brussels treaty against the slave and rum traffic in the Congo region continue to be pre- sented in the Senate, although it 1s more thana month since the treaty was finally ratified. It would seem that many of the friends of such | moral reforms do not read the newspapers. ———_+ += Senator Hill conducts his campaign right under the calcium light and doesn't get em- Darrassed at the remarks of the audience, It is @ very difficult feat that he is engaged in at present, but it is plain that he is not likely to fail for the want of presence of mind. ee Professor Garnor declares that be does not mind the flippant remarks that are made con- cerning his experiments in search of a monkey dialect. It is to be hoped that his new associa tions have not given hima contempt for the opinions of his old friends in the genus homo. ¢ in London, and to ‘Mr. Mills declares that it is a senatorship and not the Texan governorship that he is after.
