THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. -we-e-s--. July 12, 1893. Editor. EVENING STAK basa regular and permasent circalation in Washington three times larger than that ofany ether paper in the city. As a local NEWS paper and Ad- vertisiag Media: bas ne competitor. oS After a long period of apparent indifference to the demands of the pubiic the railroads bave come to the conclusion that a reduction in rates is a proper thing and will be appreciated. Ever since the Columbian Exposition opened there Las been continurus and vociferous de- mand for cheap transportation to Chicago, but the railroads paid but little attention to it, imagining. perbaps, that the folks who intended visiting the fair would go anyhow. The popu- Jar apathy was, however, fully equal to that displayed by the companies, and it was soon evident that unless there was a material reduc- tion millions of people were going to stay home. Awakened at last to a realization} of the widespread dissatisfaction the traffic associations now announce that the round-trip may be made for one fare, but burden the ap- parent concession with absurd conditions. The reduced-rate tickets will be good only on cer- tain trains and the holders of the transporta- | tion permits will not be allowed to avail them- selves of sleeping-car privileges. This is done, of course. to compel people who are not phys ically able tosit up for from twenty-five to thirty hours to pay the regular rate, snd in som instances will doubtiess succeed, but in the end | the companies will lose more than they will | gain by this pinching policy. They are not | philanthropists, showering beneficence upon | the people, and this fare reduction is not in the | nature of agift to the public. Lower rates | produce increased traffic and with this, in spite of the reduction, comes greater profit, With round-trip tickets from this city sellingat $17 the companies will make very much more than would have been possible at the present rate of 6. It may be argued that most of those whe would be tempted by the reduction would not use the sleeping cars, but the chances are that very many of them would be glad to if the op- portunity was afforded them. No man or| woman who has practically been glued to a seat for more than a day and a night ever cares to | duplicate the experience. But even with the restrictions mentioned the corporative action ‘will be welcomed gladly by large number of ‘Washingtonians, and there is no doubt that railroad business between here and Chicago will increase tremendously as soon as the $17 tickets sre placed on sale. Everybody ought to see the greatest of the many great industrial expo- sitions, and now that the cost of travel has been cut so materially but few should throw aside the opportunity. — A supposedly “dead” wire, dangling from a pole in Baltimore, added one to Baltimor mortuary statistics and caused considerable uproar. Naturally consequent upon the un- timeiy decease of an innocent passer-by hss ome inquiry—official and unofficial—as to whether there are not many other presumably “dead” wires that may by some slight disar- rangement of the aerial network become very mach alive. The inquiry now being made in Baltimore can pertinently and perhaps profitably be repeated in Washington. It is commonly understood that tele- graph and telephone companies save money by allowing wires not in use to remain on the poles; it is cheaper to let them alone to decay than it would be to remove them. And it is that apparent carelessness which makes the “dead” wires dangerous. When they are broken by stormy or other forces they are un- noticed becaute their fracture does not affect the service in any way, so they are permitted to swing around at the pleasure of every breeze aad may a: easily as not come in contact with an electric light wire and either transmit the killing fluid to the street and the unwary and unfortunate nedestrian or bring about destruct- ive conflagration. Are there any “dead” wires in this city? If so, should they not be removed at once? oe Tt would not be at all surprising if within a few years the United States should wrest from Great Britain the greatest of that nation’s wavufacturing privileges—the building of ships for powers that must have them but can- not construct for themselves. From the day when ironcinds beeame governmental necessi- ties the smaller countries have purchased their ships of war and their armament from England, but it is only reasonable to suppose that the monopoly will soon be broken. Again and ain bas it been demonstrated that Amer- jean material shaped by American inge- nuity has no superior when it ap-| pears as the finished product, and to this gratifying fact the eyes of intending pur- chasers cannot long be closed. Every ship in our navy testifies to the excellence of Ameri- aa handicraft, and such solid evidence will surely not be disregarded. No nation can produce better guns than ours, in the important matter of armor plate weare far in advance of all competi- tion, while American engines have outsped the best foreign mechanisa ever put in any eraiser. With these « onditions unshakenly es- tablished but little <ime is likely to elapse be- fore the Clyde, the ‘iyne, the Thames, the Mer- fey, the Severn and Milford Hayen will occupy minor positions in the marts of shipping, while the Delaware, the Chesapeake and a score of other waters within our national boundaries will become supremely conspicuous, — ‘What is the matter with Tammany, anyhot Js it undergoing » process of conversion to the doctrines of civil service reform, or is it en- deavoring. for « purpose, to cover up portions Of its old record? Through its chosen mouth- Piece, the Tammany Times, it argues flatly that no man can properly serve the public ¢ cept at the cost of personal and financial sac fice. It insists that any man who is competent to Sllany government position can make more money in private life, and declares that “the men who are eager togive up the pursuit of their professions, and who show it by trying to get goverument places, are not the men best fitted to Sil those places.” This almost official and scorn may be flung, but there slightest promise of real satire. scenes are laid in the west, but have abiding places within the of Columbia, so that the novel be locally of more than passing in We would be slow to offer advice to sucha writer as Mr. Campbell undoubtedly is, but if | he wants to add life toa few pages whr Joesn't | be tell the public how the liquor dealers of # great city manage to enlist Congressmen in be- half of legislative propositions that disregard | the people's rights and the people's voice?

A few fools can do more damage in a minute than many wise men can repair in years, There are in Washington several thousand bicyclists, twice as many as in any other city in the United States. But slightly encumbered by law, they wheel with ease over the smoothest of street sur- faces, and when there is physical effort the re- sult is seen in motion too swift for the comfort and well-being of those men and women who walk. The temptation to indulge in speedy transit is great but the sensible riders will overcome it and the careless must be made to realize their responsibility. In no considerable town are wheelmen better treated than here, the only things required of them being the equipment of each wheel with lamp and bell, but if the recklessness hourly evident on our main avenues and business streets does not speedily disappear without police interference legislation will surety come to stop the heedless and doubly-dangerous career of boys who now threaten the lives of unoffending pedestrians. And when the law fixes a speed limit for the foolish it will almost certainly cause the wiser element more or less discomfort. ‘The popular sentiment in Washington favors indulgence in this healthy sport of wheeling, but that senti- ment must surely be reversed if the evil com- plained of is continued. ———_+e+____ ‘The weapon-carrying habit comes to the sur- face conspicuously when the warm weather invites to out of door assemblages.
