a _THE EVENING STAR. |* cecoessaneees-February 28, 1893. CROSRY 8. NOTES. THE EVENING STAR basa regslar asd, permanent circulation in Washington three Umes larger than that ef any other paper i= the city. As a lecal NEWS paper and Ad- vertising Medium It has ne competitor. In the opinion of Tux Stan the yielding by shall have nothing to do, so far as expense is in- volved, with the improvement and ma‘ntenance | of streets, avenues, circles and reservations outside thecities of Washington and Georgetown | establishes an unwise and mischievous precede 1:. It is not a question of fairness or unfairness, es Mr. Blount views it. It involves the future of the city. To extend the city in harmony with its present plan means something more than merely providing thoroughfares for resi- | dents. Expenditures will be required which | will not be demanded merely to meet local needs. These expenditures will be neces- sary because it is an extension of a capital laid out by the government on a splendid scale, as the city of the whole nation, entirely without regard to the wishes or resources of its resi- dents. As the matter now stands the improve- ments to be made are left practically dependent on local needs and local resources. Every one who has pride in the capital city will regret ac- tion by Congress tending to mar the beauty of the new Washington or to hinder its growth. ‘The nation owns all of the attractive reser- vations and broad streets in the capital, it insisted on the District's acquirin; an equitable | half-interest in the Zoo and Rock Creek Park, | which are outside of the capital's limits, and it mow announces that as faras public reserva- tions and streeta in suburban Washington are concerned it washes tts hands entirely of them, it will involve itself in no expense in respect to them, it will acquire no title to or responsi- bility concerning them. In one part of the District the nation is the exclusive owner of public property, in another part it is exclusive | legal owner “and equitable _half-owner, and in respect to still another part it announces that it will not be any sort of an owner. It re- serves its power of exclusive legislation= by | Cangress over this section thus discriminated against, but retrocedes it so far as public ex- pense is concerned. The new Washington which is arising outside of the limits of the original city will, if this policy prevails, de- velop under new and untried conditions, aud an result will be watched not only with interest | bat anxiety. It is « matter of regret that | friends of the capital should have permitted this revolutionary step to be taken. —_—_—_+e2____. ‘When Chicago does anything it generally | makes a success of it. Her buildings are | higher by many gratifying feet than those of othor cities, her business movement is more rapid, her bighwaymen more daring and now that she has tackied the grade-crossing ques- tion she has done it in that thorough Chicago- like way which every practical person admires. During the past year thirty five human lives Ihave been sacrificed on the surface tracks in the heart of the city and when this ghastly Fecord of the shedding of innocent blood was Placed before the council it decided to pass an ordinance, which has been approved by Mayor | Washburne, compelling the elevation of every | railroad track that enters the corporate limits. | ‘That means a great deal, for there are many railroads in the western metropolis, and the ex- peuse attendant upon such # reform as the municipality will be tremendous. Of course the railroad companies will fight the ordinance, most of them pleading that it is un- constitutional and calculated to result in bank- ruptey. The country will be deeply interested in the struggle, Washington especially so. Here the city has besn promised both elevation and depression. Let us see whether we shall | get either before Chicago compels the unwill- ing corporations to do that which they must | know to be right. + ____ In spite of tae fact that the new navy pro- ‘vides employment for a number of naval offi- cers there are still enough of them with suffi- cient time on their handsim which to stir up coutroversy with other naval officers who, chance to be engaged in “staff” and not “line” | duty. Quite = long time ago Dr. Watts di- rected rhythmical attention to the fact that Satan was running an employment agency for | folas who were without occupation and it seems | now as though the father of evil had prompted | # naval officer of the “line” to dispute R. E. | Peary’s right to the title “lieutenant,” which | ordinarily precedes Mr. Peary’s name. From | publications made recently it appears that Secretary Tracy bas been whether there is such ® person in| the navy as Lieut. RE. Peary and| ‘that the inquiry was extended so as to hav the Secretary decide whether the arctic ex- plorer who is commonly referred to as Lieut. BR. E. Peary is Civil Engineer BR. E. Peary. ‘the attempt to belittle Peary is an extremely small | piece of business. Robert E. Peary is acivil engineer in the navy and as a staff officer is officially possessed of the relative rank of Meutenant. Thatan anonymous assailant should endeavor to annoy the lieutenant need rot cause the explorer any disturbance. Title or Ro title, he bas done much that is to his own credit and to the credit of his country. —e-—————— Countless corporative objections have been ‘Made to the bill compelling railroads to adopt and puf in use uniform car-coupler, but the | humane public never wavered in its suppert of the measure and will be delighted to know that it has at least gone through both Houses ‘There will, for a time, be some difficulty in making the legislation operative and we may safely calculate upon many and prolonged ap- peals to the courts, bat there can be no doubt ‘ae the ultimate supremacy of s law that com- pels the railroads to have reasonable regard for the lives of overworked and poor-paid em- Ployes. Thousands of lives have been de- stroyed by the link and pin system, but lives are cheap and for every vacancy there are hundred applicants. Congress is entitled to credit for at least one Christian act. a De. Mary Walker says she never wore crino- | limes, It will take asironger argument than that to upset the coming fashion. a ‘The speaker of the North Dakota house of Tepresentatives has just concluded that he does not desire to be a republican any longer. He is several laps behind the procession. a ‘The nice distinctions, as to conditions under fhatour own manutactories and laborers be placed on a fair competition with those epee, and that we may have within our country a supply of those leading and impor- | tant articies so essential in war. Beyond this I | | look at the tariff with an eye to the proper dis- trivution of labor and to revenue, and with » view to discharge our national debt. Iam one | of those who do not believe that a national debt is ! tion, Sop oem a maneyed aristoc- racy, dangerous to the liberties of the country.” ‘Then the general went on to argue that there ture and employed in the mechanical arts, thereby creating « home market for food sup- | plies and distributing labor to the most profit- | able account. Perhaps the esteemed Econo- mist thinks it is right to at least try to scare the administration horses, but Tax Sram in- clines to the belief that the effort is so much | energy wasted. A tariff runaway is quite im- probable. ————~+e—___. It becomes less and less probable that the Senate will pass an amended liquor bill in season for a conference committee to act and for the measure to become law at this session. The bill has been laid aside to be or not to bo again taken up, as the temper of the Senate and the condition of the appropriation bills de- cide. Only three days of the session remain, In view of these facts there is urgent necessity to retain in the District appropriation bill the Hunton liquor-license amendment, giving vi- tality to the existing law. With eo slight a chance for the enactment of a more compre- hensive law by this Congress, no one can op- pose the Hunton amendment who is not willing to put himself on record as favoring = local reign of lawlessness, and as willing to deprive the community of ail power to impose penalties upon offenders against the laws intended to limit and regulate the sale of liquor in the Dis- trict, ———__ +2 ___ What's the matter with the Philadelphia Inquirer? It had an interesting story as to the ceremonies which took place on board the ocean steamship New York, but why did it eelare in its headlines that the stars and bars floated over the Americanized vessel? Perhaps Philadelphia is not yet aware of it, but the starsand bars went out of business several Years ago. ————_+++____ Senator Peffer declares that he does not want the rum business licensed in any form. This movement in co-operation with the unfavora- ble sentiment regarding eggs that was devel- oped during the late campaign may yet lead to extermination of the rum omelet. —$—__~++o———_—_ Apropos of the arrival of Vice President Stevenson, there are many people who would like to know whether the possession of an offi- | cial ax wouid bring him under the operation of the weapon-carrying law. ——— If the flood which threatened had materialized Mr. Cleveland during his trip down the avenue might bave combined the delights of a fishing excursion with the pleasures of an inauguration procession. i Kansas populists say that they propose to make no trouble when the legislature goes to work. ‘They are evidently weary of monotony. ammo kaise The annexation of Kaiulani and Claus Spree Kles seems to be even more of a problem than the annexation of the Sandwich Islands. —— age The ticket speculator is now fn his giory.
