4 © THE EVENING STAR. | WASHINGTON. SATURDAY Febraary 18, 1893. = a the city. As a local NEWS paper and Ad- rtising Medium tt bas ne competitor. Once more, and in a most horrible manner, Das public attention been directed to the fact that the fenders which surround the running | gear of the cable cars used in this city are prac tically valueless. If there is any excuse for | fitting the cars with fenders it is that which argues that fenders would save buman life in | ‘ease the car collided with man. woman or child, or if the shock of impact should kill that the hur- | ror of sudden death shotid not be supplement by the sickening mutilation which would resil t | from the body's being run over. It must be apparent to any one who has read the testimony given at the inquest helg on the re-| mains of Lieut. Lovell K. Reynolds, | the gritty naval officer whose lite went out so ingloriously, that had there been an efficient fender in front of the grip car Lient. Reynolds—bruised and sore probably would have been alive today. Witnesses say thet he was knocked down by the car and that the wheels ran over him, but had the fender been strong and rigid and set sufficiently low the man would either have been pushed ahead unifl the ear was stopped or rolled off to one side by the angulated guard. ‘This matter of fenders has been the subject of fnvestigation and experiment in Boston, with beneficial results. A commission of experts tested all the varieties of protector that were presented or that suggested themeelses and in the end secured a safeguard which, it is said. makes impossible such a fear- ful accident as brought about yesterday's in- quest. And there is necessity for fenders on | the horse cars, too. It m not so very long ince a bright littie boy fell out of a Metropoli- tan summer car and lost first kis legs and then his life. Fenders aro not expensive, and the companies that occupy the city streets without having to invest a cent for their charters can- not do too much to prevent needless sacrifices ‘of valuable lives. —— After the disturbances at Topeka daring the past week who shall say that there may not yet | be serious disagreement and perbaps bloodsbed | in the state of Kansas, yet the indications today point to at least temporary pence. Now people are beginning to atk why there should have been danger of civil strife. There is nothing | complicated in the facts that have demoralized | ‘® hitherto reasonably sensible subdivision of | this republic. Two bodies of men—ons com- posed of republicans, the other of populists- claimed to be the house of representatives, The republicans could not legislate because their | antagonists bave undoubted control of the | senate. The populists did not attempt to pass Dilla because if they were to do so the supreme court of the state would at once be called upon to decide which body was the legal house, and the chances, in such an event, favored the re- publicans. But legislative inaction became wearisome, and after a month of wordy froth- ing, in which both parties came out even, the | populists decided to bar the republicans out. Bat the decision did not avail, for grit, muscle and @ sledge-bammer—the latter opernted by Speaker Douglass—secured admission to the ball and have since kept possession in spite of ail that the populist governor, the populiat | house and the hordes of armed populist volun-{ teers could do, And they really seem to be right; a conclusion which is emphasized by the {act that such a strong democratic journal us the New York Times has, in this affair, es- poused the repablican enuse. ‘The proceed- ings of the populist at Topeka,” says the Times, “bare been from first to last in utfer contempt of law and of all constitutional methods. They bave been teaching the doc- trine that the luws are made from the rich and sre unjust in their operation and unworthy of respect and their chosen rep- | resentatives have been acting up to the instruc- tions of the party.” The reaching of any other conclusion would not be in accord with the tes- timony. One hundred and twenty-five mea | held certificates of election to the house when the legislature met. Of these 64 were repub- licans, 3 were democrats and 58 were populista ‘The republicans therefore had a right to organ- fze the house. Bat the populists proposed to contest eleven republican seats, so they,with the Yotes of the eleven contestants, elected a popu- list speaker and officers. ‘Then the speaker ad- ministered the oath to the eleven who nad built tp the majority and the populist house wns or- ganized. That is the whole ctory — For the first time in its history the Emer- gency Hospital of this city—an institution of | which Washington is proud— has been asailed. Not lightly or heedles:’y, but under oath and with a painful degree of positivencss. Bradiey ho witnessed the mutila- tion of Lieut. Reynolds by» cable car and in whose vehicle the sufferer was borne to the hos- pital, asserts that twenty minutes elapsed be- tween the time of arrival at the hospital door and the down-coming of the house eur- geons, And then, as though one such se- Fious accusation was not enough, the same | witness alleges that one of the surgeons | threatened to strike the lieutenant because | he did not keep perfectly still. Now all this, if true, is more than horrible and culls for speedy and thorough investigation. This has been | asked by the accused doctors, who charge the eabman with spiteful faisehood, and their re- quest should be complied with at the earliest possible moment. If a dangerously-wounded man is kept waiting for twenty minutes ut the doors of hospital, which was founded and is supported that it might act rapidly, then the | term “emergency” is a misnomer. On the | ether band, Tue Sram will be more than pleased to discover that the impatations which | ‘were sworn to yesterday are without subs! tial foundation. +e If pugilism continues to demand so much ‘vocalism the next step to be looked for will be | from the prize ring to the opera. | — } ‘Mr. Morton when he takes hold of the Agri- | eultural Department may be excused if he looks | fora shortage in the snow storm supply. | —_ Mr. Bailey should rise and assure the public that is manifesting so much interest in Hoke Smith that there fs nothing in the Coustitution with reference to cruel and unusual names in the cabinet a The Corbett-Mitchell fight will probably Tesult in great damage to telegraph blanks, ss If the judgment of men interested in the Management of sticet railroads is to be accepted as final the choice of @ rapid transit system is imited to the cable and the overhead wire sys- tems. It is claimed that the application of steam or of electricity in any different form is not @ commercial success, and in this connec- ton the fact may be noted—and it is a signiti- cant fact- that these two systems represent the ‘extremes in the cost of street railroad motors. ‘The cable is the most expensive, the overhead wire the cheapest. Hailroad managers argue that the cable can only be profitable on a line enjoying a large traffic, and the logical result of this reasoning is that for the vast majority of street railroads there is no alternative between the overhead wire and horses. People naturally desire to enjoy the benefits of rapid transit, and hence it is that the overhead wire has come into such general use. The significant feature of the present situation is that the cheap- est system of street railroad transportation {s pronounced to be practically the only avail- able one. The disadvantages of the trolley to @ city and the dangers to the public are manifest that it will be impossible combination of self-interest much have ite way. An aroused public ‘Will brand as false the claims of selfish ir | by | tigation, decided to put underground wires on | more hopefully to the proposed trial of the | retary of State, John G. Carlisle of Kentucky, | the nomination of Myron M. Parker to succeed | ployes in a way that should enuse Congressmen | managers, In this city it is likely that this | popular movement will be strengthened by the | of a line of railroad operated | spectacle a much better system. The Rock Creek Railroad Company, after careful inves- their line on U street. Thi work is nearly com- pleted, and it is expected that in the course of a few dayscars will berunning over the road. Of | course, the managers of other roads will talk sbout the great cost, though it ismuch less than that of the cable, and if there happens to | be any hitch in the smooth running of the road | it will be magnified and dwelt upon. Bat, | nevertheless, the opening of thin road | marks an important epoch in the history of modern rapid-transit methods and if successful will show the fallacies with which interosted railroad magnates have been feeding the public. The danger of failure must not, however, be underestimated, for it must be re- membered that an independent plaat on such a short line will make the experiment costly and that the corporation on whose road this effort is being put forth is materially interested in the system, which, all other considerations aside, promises the greatest profit. All the conditions are apparently adverse, but if sac- cess is achieved public gratification will be boundless. The community looks forward Buda-Pesth underground system over the whole Columbia line. oo Kansas should hasten to provide iteelf with a coal scuttle full of red-fire and an orchestra. ——- Millionaire John J, Astor when called for fury duty made no effort whatever to escape it It was the manly course to take. +e. WEEK. TH Public interest within the United States bas been divided between President-elect Cleve- land’s cabinet making and the populist-repub- lican imbroglio in Kansas. Al] doubt as to who will fill Sve of the cabinet positions has been re- moved by official announcement to the effect that Walter Q. Gretham of Indiana will be Sec- Secretary of the Treasury: Daniel 5. Lamont of New York, Secretary of War; Wilson S. Bissell of New York, Postmaster General. and Hoke Smith of Georgia, Secretary of the Interior. The troubles in Kansas arose from the desire of the populist honse of representatives, which seems to be an illegal bod. to oust the republi- con house; troops were cailed out aud there bas been a great hubbub. but, so far. a0 blood- shed. Steps toward the annexation of H were taken by the transmission to the Senate by the President of the treaty negotiated be- tween Secretary of State Foster and the com- missioners sent to this country by the Hawaiian provisicaal government. American interest in the, Panama canel non-construction scheme ‘nas been enlivened somewhat by the facts that are coming to the surface in re- sponse to efforts made by a congressional investigating committee; there were several dollars spent in the United States. The Sen- ate has been debuting over the proposition to guarantee $100,000,000 worth of Nicaragua canal bonds, but no conclusdon bas yet been reached. In the House of Representatives strong Innguage, brought ont by the appropriation bill, resulted in Mr. Dan Wangh of Indiana being tapped on the nose by Mr. in of Alabama, while in West Virginia, for just as trivial acause, two men took each other's lifeina duel. More than a little interest bas been taken in the trial of Hugh O'Donnell, the Homestead leader, for murder, and the verdict of not guilty was, all things considered, far from sur- prising. The only notable death during the week was that of Dr. Norvin Green, president of the Western Union Telegraph Company. IN OTHER LANDS THAN OURS. Home rule bas been the lending foreign topic, commencing with the introduction of # new home rule bill by Mr. Gladstone. The measure, so far as it has been made public, is generally satisfactory to the Irish party, but it is being bitterly opposed by the conservatives and by the Irish testants. In France the week has been remarkably calm, ite only feature being an unsuccessful effort by Boulangist deputies to upset governmental conditions in the old world republic. Panama mutters hare not disturbed, although two of the alleged con- spirators--M.M. Prevost and Lequay—have been sentenced to im ment, respectively, for three and five years. The United States is considerably interested in the arrangements are now being made by Austria and Ger- many to bring aboutan international sanitary conference, at which cholera is to ke discussed by the world’s specialists. IN THE city. Locally the most important piece of news was John W. Douglass as District Commissioner, Mr. Douglass’ term having expired. Thia presi- dential action shared public attention with the by the House of reasonably satisfac- tory liquor license bill. The measure has been favorably reported without amendment to the Senate. Two deaths have been prominent— those of Rear Adtniral Case and Lient. Rey nolds, U.S..N. ‘The latter was » horrible fair, resulting from the lieutenant’s being run over by a cable car. — SHOOTING STARS. “What do you think will be the biggest thing | you will see at the world’s fair?’ said Mra.
