NGTON. May 11, 1892, permanent circulation te Washington three times larger than that of any other paper in the city. As a local NEWS paper and Ad- Yertising Medium it has ne competitor. ———————— The negotiations which followed the check that the Pennsylvania road received in ite effort to oceupy the reclaimed flats at this end of Long bridge have resulted, as heretofore indi- cated by Tur Star, in 0 ropont of comprehensive improvements by the railroad, upon which the city may reasonably build high hopes of securing that change in railroad con- ditions for which it has so long been strag- gling. Neither time nor space permits » thorough discussion in this issue of the de- tails of the railroad’s proposal. Some features of it will undoubtedly be criticized. But when the railroad, reversing its former position and policy, indicates ite ability and willingness to sink and bridge its tracks within the city, abolishing most — ite losis crossings, to reconstruct ne as a bridge instead of @ dam, and to abandon 6th street and render as unobjection- able as possible its crossing of the mall, Wash- ington should and does appreciate the changed STAR. | Srocxixas Tuer Wean Asroan. New Axo Beacrirot Necxwear. Sowz Caanuxe Sux Wasrs Piants-ot course, such Hose ne these come from Paris, though the price is not what you expect—only 40c. s patr. For instance: These are fast black lisle, and the white polka dots are indeliBle—imported to re- tail at #1 pair. These also are fast black, and the vertical stripes of white, yellow, lavender and red will not be injured by washing. And these silk-lisle boot- pattern hose are startling enough: Bronze feet with Pink striped uppers, mahogany feet and salmon up- Pers, red feet and Nile green uppers, tan and French blue, brown and yellow stripes, suede and blue stripes— 75 cents’ worth for 49 cents. And look at these: Fast Black feet with uppers in all colors, which form Van Dyke points: 98 cents’ attitude of this great corporation toward it, greets with enthusiasm the display by it of the same enterprise and broad liberality in this city that have characterized its poliey in other cities, and will consider and meet this proposal in the same spirit in which it was made. It is not believed that the railroad will regret a deter- mination to expend its money hereafter upon eugineers and workmen instead of upon lobby- ist, upon making local im provements necessary for the public welfare and ite own credit in- stead of in defeating proposed legislation hav- ing these improvements in view. The inter- @ of the city and it great common Worth for49cents. And here are the Richelieu Rib Lisle Hose with fast Black feet and uppers in guaran- teed fadeless shades of Gold, Pink, Blue, Lavender, Red. or if you wish it, uppers of fancy stripes in in- delible colors.

Unlimited credit is due to Senator Me- Millan for wisdom and tact in conducting nego- tiations with the railroads, and securing their agreement to the proposed improvements. Nor is the enterprise of the roads themselves to be overlooked. ‘Tue Stan has been fighting for years for the improvement in railroad conditions, including the abolition of the grade crossings, which is now in sight. It has considered no public need greater and more urgent than that which is now to be satisfied. It views with the profoundest satisfaction the prospect that its labors in this regard for the beauty of the city, for the re- moval of obstructions to business and of dan- gers to life and limb at grade crossings are soon to be crowned with success. —___+-+—___. Spring floods have long caused uneasiness along the lower Mississippi and the affluents of the great river. They can never be accurately forecast, although heavy rains or snows in the mountains and watersheds give some sort of warning. The rise in the Father of Waters this year threatens great destruction of life and property and already reports are rife of the breakage of mighty levees on which the safety of the richest portions of several planting states depend. At sach seasons the public is apt to ponder anew the entire subject of protection to the Mississippi's banks and the adjacent terri- tory. The ever-recurring questions of levee, of outlet, of the increase of government aid and others find opportunity in these inundations for airing themselves. It is hoped that experience will yet devise means for reducing with meas- rable approach to certainty the dangers to which the region indicated is constantly exposed. eo ‘The movement to compel the Washington and Georgetown railway to extend its tracks to the Aqueduct bridge was in the interest of the pub- Lic, and not in the interest of the railway. The community does not want tracks laid on the bridge. Every manifestation of public senti- ment has been opposed to this action. But the people of the city do want transportation at one fare from the heart of the city to the beginning of the bridge. This extension would have no logical tendency to cause a revolution of senti- ment in Congress and the public and bring about track-Inying on the bridge itself. If any future Congress should conclude to surrender the bridge to railway tracks it would make no @ifference that the W. and G. terminus ix half a @ozen squares from the bridge instead of ex- tended to it. ‘The same legislation which pro- vided for tracks on the bridge would provide for track-laying on this short extension. pina sm eeoreir SS The opinion advanced in connection with the nomination of T. Jefferson Coolidge to be min- faster to France that it would be a breach of courtesy to send to a bi-metallie country a man who has advocated a gold standard, represents an over nice sense of propriety. It is not ex- pected of a diplomat that he shall assist in fegulating the currency of the country to Which he is sent. His personal views are insig- nificant as far as his official functions are con- ¢erned. This country, the representative re- Public of the world, does not decline to receive men whose sentiments are all in favor of mon- archy, and could not if it wisped. In choosing its foreign representatives the United States c not undertake to provide exact shades of indi vidual opinion; nor can any other country. It is enough to provide mem of ability, integrity and reputation, -_ 02 ‘The pathetic efforts of Mr. Henry Watterson to harmonize the party to which he belongs and which he illumines command the profound re- spect of all gow citizens, no matier of what Politics.
