THE EVENING STAR. “~~ WASHINGTON. ‘FRIDAY........ CROSBY 8. NOVES..... THE EVENING STAR has a regalar and permanent circulation in Washington three times larger than that of ney other paper in the city. As x lecal NEWS paper and Ad- Vertising Medinm it has ue competitor. Some of the Reck Creek Park land-owners, whose property has been condemned by the government in the public interest, are getting sious to see the color of the money whic constitutes the “just compensation” for their land that the Constitution provides. They have not been anxious to dispose of their property to the government, even with the important public objects of Rock Creek Park to be gained. And now that the republic has laid its strong hand upon their land, and the court has ordered them to be paid just compensation, they are naturally uneasy at the strange delay in the payment by the government for what it has taken, in accordance with the law and the order of the court. The only difference Im principle between the forcible taking of highway robbery and the forcible taking of condemnation proceedings is in the prompt pecuniary campensation of the person dis- possessed in the latter case: In the present instance the men whose property has been con- fiscated for wise and important public purposes have not been compensated. For ‘the time being the government stands toward ‘these land owners in the attitude of the high- way robber, and the Secretary of the Treasury clings fast to money which does not belong to the government in defiance of the re- quirements of the law of the land, and in contempt of the order of a court of the United States. Why? Out of courtesy to Mr. Holman. And who or what is Mr. Holman that his individual suggestion of a desire to obtain the opportunity to throw investigation mad at President Harrison, the Rock Creek Park commission and other advocates of this great project, should paralyze a Secretary of the Treasury in the performance of the fune- tions of his office. in obedience to the law, judi- cial mandate, and moral obligations toward the dispossessed property owners? The latter are inelined tor consider the courtesy ont of place which runs up against the law, the national judi- ciary and the eighth commandment. It is un- doubtedly possible to be too polite. ee It is a distinct gain to the advocates of the popular election of Senators that even a divided committee reports to the Senate on the subject. In other words, in a body itself the subject of reform it is something to have the matter placed on the calendar for future considera- tion. Tae Sram has favored the proposed amendment to the Constitution because it has believed that the election of Senators by the people is demanded by the people themselves and by the situation of affairs: that all branches of the government except the judiciary should emanate directly from the sovereign, the people of the United States, in accordance with our m- stitutions, and because it has been clearly shown that the mass is less corruptible than ite representatives. It may take many years and much agitation to bring about the proposed reform. The benefits when secured will amply repay all the trouble incurred in securing them. ‘No other House DORS—EVER DID—or EVER WILL sell such STERLING QUALITIES at such LOW PRICES as WE quote.

Every man who has olserved real estate value knows that next to property for stores property for homes commands the highest prices andlincrease it Value with the greatest rapidity. It is the source of ore vast fortunes than any other form of investment. Nothing is more secure and nothing more certain of increase. Property for inanufacturing purposes must be cheap, and conditions tend to depreciate rather than enhance its value. On the other hasd property. for homes constantly increases in desirability, and suburban property in particular offers scope for ap fumense increase in prices, After a certain limit is passed property within a city ceases to be evatiable for the accommodation of its population, and this com dition is realized most speedily when the city is ome whose increase is particularly rapid. That Washing- ton isa place of imuuense growth is evident from even a superficial glance at statistics. It has been calcu lated that at the present rate of building 100 solid tuiles of houses will be built. It becomes evident at ‘once that suburban property will be in imperative de- mand within the next few years, not only because of its superiority over city property, but from actual me cossity.
