In their letter to the President the Commis- | sidered by many of the more prominent sioners piace themselves, concerning the trolley in general harmony with the whole community, those citizens who are stockholders in street railway or electric corporations and who estimate their private gains as of more im- portance than the public welfare. They urge special reasons, however, for making temporary exceptions in the case of the Eckington road to the wise policy of prohibiting and abolish- ing withoutdelay the trolley and the car horse from the streets of the capital. Undeniably there isforce in much of their reasoning. The objection, however, urged by them against the Buda-Pesth system, which ia suggested as © solution of their problem, is trifling and frrelevant. They say that the slot fo this underground system as it ia constructed in Buda-Pesth x too broad to be tolerated upon our streets, which are traversed by narrow-tired vebicies. It is not at all necessary to make the slot in the Washington system as broad as in the Buda-Pesth emetem. It would be a great saving to asphalt pavements if all heavy vehicles were required to have the broad tires of corresponding European vebiclen, Bat if it be necessary to make rompelling the tires to come to the ¢lot, there ieno recson whatsoever why the slot should not be narrowed. A staff correspondent of Tur Sram in describing the Buda-Pesth system last summer wrote: “Various improvements that can easily be made have suggested themselves as desirable in perfecting the eystem for Amer- jean use. The cost of construction can be cheapened, the slot can be made narrower, the contnet frame stronger and the pattern of the rails can be improved. But the fact remains ¢ in spite of minor and easily remedied de- em hay proved commercially prac- tieable and a wonderful suceess upon the lead- ing retiway of acity of half a million people, the most enterprising. progressive and rapidly developing capital today in all Europe.” ‘The Columbin sirect railway, which has decided to use the Linda-Pesth system, has also decided to make such notable anges in construction ax the removal of the conduit from under spht rail to the space between the two sets of tracks, and the utilizing of this one large con- nit for both tracks instead of deplicating the conduit, In comparison with such departures as thie from the Buda-Pesth model, the mere narrowing of the conduit is as nothing. It fs hoped that none of the impending changes in street railway ownership will negative the Co- jumbia's present plans of giving the Buda-Pesth system a fair trial bere. ‘Po be sure the under- ground system is to be used upon the city ex- tension of the Rock Creek road. But when the motive power to be tested differs from that used by the experimenter, is employed by legal com- pulaion and merely upon a fraction of the rail- way'¢ route, and is more expensive than the motor used upon the main line so that it is to the experimenter's pecuniary interest to prove ita failure and be absolved from its use, the new motor is apt to fare badly. This has been the case in other cities. It is the case in re- spect to the Eckington’s use of the storage bat- tery on ita G@ street extension. If the Buda- vesth system is used here to operate the whole of acity railway several miles long, as pro- posed, it will have had a fair trial, and ample opportunity to show its merits and capabili- ues. oe Now that the action of Minister Stevens is understood and has been discussed there is nothing but commendation of hix promptness and activity im the interest of law and order. It is evident that the provisional government could not enforce ite decrees without raising such a disturbance as woald make bloodshed an easy probability, and while that condition pre- vailed business could not but be unsettled and the people dangerously uneasy. A few cautious ones—over-cautious probably—are inclined to the belief that Minister Stevens should have stood aside and let the provisional government fight it out with those who have probably, almost surely, been plotting against it, Had that been done the President would in ail prob- ability bave had in the light of subsequent events resulting from this inaction reason for recalling in disgrace the man who would be so careless of American interests, Mr. Stevens does not interfere with the ad- ministration of Hawaiian affairs nor has be put | the United States ina position from which it may not, it it +o wills, withdraw with dignity. At this time public sentiment and administra- tive probabilities seem to favor the maintenance of the American fing in Hawaii either through annexation oF a protectorate, but whether the Ex-Kingdom of Hawaii becomes a part of this country or not it is not at all likely that any apology will be required by the American peo- ple from Minister Stevens. fund is slowly crawling up toward the point where it should be, but im this forward movement it is consid- erably outrun by contracts calling for expendi- tures. In fact the subscriptions have come in se slowly and in each small amounts that con- tracts have necessarily been made without ref- erence to this fund. The standard of subscrip- tom vet by the inaugural leaders was not tly high and the making of large sub- scriptions was discouraged. Four years ago $50,000 had been collected by the Ist of Jan- uary, and all contracts could be made on the banks of thix money on hand. It is certain, of course, that the subscription fund will grow two the necessary proportions before the 4th of March. and that from the proceeds of the ball subscribers will be reimbarved. While ail will be well, for all will end weil, it would be a great convenience to the finance and executive com- mittees if would-be subscribers would sub- seribe liberally and would subscribe at once, Ss — Congress may declare that department clerks must work eight hours each day, and may even go so far ax to have them confined in the de- partment buildings for such periods of time. But at this point there arises a doubt as to the potency of even Congress. ——— Miss Fawnii’s valentine came a little early, but Uncle Sam seems disposed to put it in bis upper left-hand vest pocket and take it periousl the slot come to the tires instead of | | legislative financiers, and despite the efforts | which are |eombat the tyro can see that a fight is on between the President-elect and a powerful section of the democracy. This fric- tion need not be, but it was brought on by would-be friends of Cleveland who interfered with the management which he himself had set ‘up in the House. Representative Bacon. 80 far as was possible, performed his difficult task | that attracted any attention was tl being made to conceal the| endeavor of Senator of the Sherman silver-purchase act: fort that was defeated by nearly a two-thirds majority. In the Nebraska senatorial contest the unexpected happened in the election of W. B. Allen to Senator Paddock. Strikes and rumors of strikes, principally among rail- Toad employes, have not, as yet, assumed the promised dimensions, although one or two are threateningly large. »pheei to the Cleveland cabinet were plentiful, but the only one ‘announce- | in an admirable manner and will doubtiess re-| ment that Judge Walter Q.

And there | is real danger of a party split. Nothing would | be more pleasing to Tammany and to the | representative of that conquering organi tion who now sits in the Senate and who is | ready to play Brutus to Mr. Cleveland's Cesar. On the day when the silver men triumphed in| | the House and at the moment of their victory j Senator Hill was in the House democratic | cloak room—in a dark corner and band in hand | with thore who think more of him than of the elected leader. From this corner, when the result was announced, came a loud exultant | laugh, and whea the Senator stepped out into | the daylight the fragments of that cachinnation | were still visible on bis countenance. The fact that Hill's effort to repeal the Sherman act | failed and the suspicion that he inten led it to fail had restored the Senator to favor with the silver men. Should there be the division which | many thoughtful democrats apprehend. Senator Hill will undoubtedly head the anti-Cleveland procession, and his drum major will be Richard Parks Biand. + oe The Senate District committee has played a rich practical joke upon the advocates of an all- night street-car service who secured the pas- sage through the House at the last session of a bill providing for such service. The Senate committee has reported as a substitute for this Dill a measure which strikes out the provision concerning all-night service and provides, a the principal feature of a measure avowedly designed to furnish the public with better ac- commodation, the convertible bond provision which the Washington and Georgetown rail- way has made in the past desperate efforts to secure. The grant of this privilege to issue improvement bonds convertible into capital stock was viewed, however, as so valuable a concession that it was opposed by certain en- vious rivals in the local street railway business and the Washington and Georgetown's previous request for this grant was denied. Now it comes up again as the substitute for the pro- vision for all-night service for the ‘better ac- commodation of the public.” ‘The newspaper | men and others who got the all-night service bill through the House are trring hard to seem amused at the Senate committee's little joke. — The program outlined by authority for Mr. ili and those acting with him in the Senate in- cluded systematic and determined opposition to mugwamp appointments, even to a mug-| Wump cabinet appointment. Anything was to | go provided it was democratic. Nothing was to go if tainted with mugwumpery. Will there be opposition to Gresham's confirmation? Or is the Tammany hostility confined in its applica~ tion to New York anti-snapper mugwumps? poe ER ‘The pasenge of the Hunton license amend- ment to the District appropriation bill ought not and will not have the effect of either for- bidding or delaying more compgenensive and more satisfactory liquor legislation when the opportunity arrives for such legislation. The Hunton amendment merely gives vitality to the existing law. It will not meet with the opposi- | tion which will oppose a new system. The ses- sion is now so nearly ended that it seems im- probable that the more comprehensive legisla- tion can be enacted before its close. If, how- ever, such legislation can be secured the new system, when, enacted, may as well sub- stitute itself for a live existing law as a dead existing law. The Hunton amend- ment merely gives the District an ef- fective, practical statute for iis protection until a better law can be enacted, whether that | interval be long or short. Pass the Hunton amendment now: give the District a practical and reasonably effective liquor enactment and | relieve Washington st once from the shameful | inadequecy of its statutes regulating the sale of intoxicating liquors, Pass the more com- rehensive measure as soon as such action can be had, during this session if possible, in the next Congress if speedy legislation is not pos- | sible. But do not neglect the opportunity to strengthen the existing law in the effort or on the pretense of securing a better law and finally leave Washington at the adjournment of Con- gress with no liquor law whatsoever. ——--- ++ 2 —___ ‘The state of Pennsylvania in suing for pos- session of the accumulations of the Economites | shows its faith in the idea that economy is the | source of wealth. —— - +e ___ One strong point in favor of Hawaii is the evident desire there to avoid the South Ameri- can revolution habit. od All the cabinet makers want from Mr. Cleve- land is a little corroborative detail. see ‘The lynching tendency is assuming the pro- portions of a moral epidemic. —— wee SHOOTING STARS, Some of the particular people will presently be objecting to the use of the word “next” be- cause it ix so evidently a barberism.
