4 THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTO THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY..... - September 25, 1893. CROSBY 5. NOYES. ®HE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation in Washing- tem more than three times larger than that of any other paper. As a News and Advertising Medium it ha» mo competitor. 7 Letters to THE STAR should be so addressed, or to the Editorial or Busi- mens Department, according to their character or purpose, not to any indi- vidual connected with the office. There is one feature of most of the re- cently proposed railroad legislation which gives great comfort and encouragement to Washingtontans who are anxious to pre- serve to the city the attractiveness and comparative safety for which the capital's streets are noted. In nearly every instance, whether extension, regeneration or new construction is proposed, {t is specifically | Provided that the motive power employed shall be such as to prohibit overhead poles and wires, ani in several cases the use is limited to the electric underground conduit. This imitation is doubtless safe enough, since the kind of ruilroad proposed ts the | Jeading line in miles of track and earnings | in the city of Buda-Pesth, with tts half mil- j Hon of people, the most progressive and | fast becoming one of the most beautiful | fapitals of Europe; and since an American | vartety of the underground electric system | is already in thoroughly satisfactory and | Yuccessful operation in Washington Itself. | he proposition of the projected Traction | Company, which is asking a charter, of the | Rock Creek road, which wishes an urban | underground extension, and of the Metro- | politan road, which pleads practically for @ rechartering, are all, so far as the pro- | Posed motive power is concerned, entirely satisfactory to the public. The firm stand which Congress has taken in enacting and | sustaining the wise law which forbids the erection of any additional overhead wires Backed by an intelligent and practically unanimous local sentiment, has convinced eapitalists that no headway can be made toward rapid transit except in obedience to | the often-expressed will of Congress and the people as to the path to be followed. Of course, Congress, in dealing with these and all other street railread propositions, will apply to them all the tests, conditions and safeguards of which experience has taught | the wisdom. Speculation in new franchises will be discountenanced, grooved ralls will | be insisted upon, proper return to the pub- Xie in the shape of taxation will be secured and the most painstaking discretion will be | exercised in selecting any new streets to be surrendered to car tracks. But if the other tests can be met the railroad men ‘who propose the underground motor are worldly wise in their day and generation, for Congress and the people will undoubt- edly indorse any otherwise unobjectionable proposal, which will give to the city rapid transit by the underground system and ef- fectually shut out the overhead trolley from the streets of Washington. ne It has been well said that the root of all iscontent is self-love and yet to apply the fash of that aphorism to the ever-esteemed Louisville Courter-Journal and the no-less estimable Philadelphia Press is a most painful procedure for those who deem the pplication a duty. Both these journals are of the opinion that a “national baby- namer™ should be appointed by the general government. Our Kentucky contemporary eeems convinced that much family trouble and perplexity would be saved and much humiliation to the bearer prevented if the right of naming children was taken away from parents and given to a government official. The Philadelphia Press concurs and waxes warm over the suiferings of those unfortunates who have “to go through life bearing a name which is a constant humiliation to them and in the selection ©f which they had no voice.” It also sug- Rests that “if it is impracticable to follow the Courier-Journal’s suggestion and have @ national baby namer, then the law should permit every young man and woman, when ‘they arrive at a certain age, to throw aside the name their parents gave them and choose a name for themselves. Children have some rights parents ought to be com- cd to respect.” It seems to us that not even @ national baby-namer could have Gone better than christen the Courier-Jour- nai's editor “Henry” nor do we see how the €ditor of the Press could have improved yon the parental selection of “Charles Emory” as @ prefi< to the euphonivus and hunorable name of Smith. We protest, ve- hemently if necessary, against the national er idea, because if carried into ice it would be paternalism or, if the hamer was a woman, maternalism in its sravating form, and in a campaign « the propusition we should louk for Poort of that Vigilant and courageous ¥ of centralization, the Courier-Jour- euie rson.

The complaint made by real estate brokers who pay the tax of $0 per year is not that the tax is Durdensome or unjust, but that they are discriminated against because the law is mot equally enturced. According to tke figures furnished at the District oilices, there are some 2W real estate brokers who pay the tax, while the city directory cun- tains the names of 4w wao are said to be angaged in tue business. wee Whatever may be sald of Mr. Van Alen, it is bard to believe that he has merited mnything so severe as Ward. Mcallister's enthusiastic approval. wee Viewed from a standpoint such as is fre- quently occupied by culi-blvuded caicula- furs the hopes of Ireland haug on a very slender thread. Within brief period of three months there will be celebrated in all English-speaking countries, should death happily refrain from intervention, the eighty-fourth anniversary of William Ewart Gladstone's birth. ‘The situation is in many Fespeets the must extraurdinary known to historians. At an age more advanced than that usually achieved by active public char- acters the greatest of England's premiers is bearing a burden the like of which none Of his predecessors ever knew and if his health is preserved for a few years longer seems destined to accomplish sUll greater things. Home rule for ireland and a proper xtension of the privileges of franchise are among the democratic measures to which his mental and physical forces are Feligiously devoted. No other living man could possibly assemble and weld into leg- isiative harmony so many human diverst- ties as now accord with his ideas and are @nxious to assist in the great work of re- form inaugurated by their dt ished Jeader. But the labors are not yet com- plete—far from it-and should Gladstone be empelled to retire only confusion could en- It is undoubtedly Gladstone's present imtention to give the house of lords oppor- | herculean tunity to defeat at least one other bill of considerable importance to the masses and popular with the great and growing liberal element, and the narrow-minded and mis- called “upper house” will accept the chance to make a few more of the blunders that will return to torment ft in the near future. Then will come an appeal to the country and one of the hottest of political campaigns, im which the advocates of modern govern- mental methods hope to be victorious. In that event the defeated measures would again be submitted to the lords for their ac- tion with a probably unspoken assurance that if the bills were again defeated out- right the majority in the commons would Support any reasonable measure that had as its object the destruction of an heredi- tary branch of the national legislature. Under such circumstances, if the liberal majority in the commons was large enough to indicate unmistakably the popular will, the lords would doubtless yield, as they have done in the past in similar struggles. But the date of this occurrence is long post- poned, and between its happening and the present le many obstacles to be overcome. With the burden of eighty-four years bend- ing his body Gladstone has before him a task. He is supported and rengthened by the world-wide sympathy of those who believe in the principles of ordinary fairness as applied to the “powers that be” and those who create those pow- ers. May the great premler’s life be spared until his task is done. a Many of the tragic mysteries of the sea, the disappearance of vessels when no dis- astrous storms have been reported, are be- lieved to be due to the existence of dere- licts, or abandoned hulks, often water- logged, and floating so low in the water as not to be easily discovered by lookuuts. ‘These derelicts are recognized as among the &reatest perils of the deep. The ocean pathways between Europe and America are strewn with such abandoned wrecks. The commissioner of navigation has urged strongly the need of international co-opera- Uon to clear away the existing dangers and to establish a system of reports that will greatly lessen the peril in the future. His plan is to have all mariners abandoning Vessels or sighting vessels already aban- Goned report the location of the derelicts at once, so that ships may be sent out to find and destroy them. The commission- er’s suggestions appeal to humanity; but, aside from the humane view, they are likely to receive attention from govern- ments because of the purely business con- siderations involved. Not life only, but all property risked at sea, will be made much safer If the danger of derelicts is re- moved. ———_ +2 ——_.

The very intelligent chimpanzee was swinging aloft on his trapeze in the menag- erie and enjoying life very much when a young man, conspicuous for the blankness of his expression and the emphasis of his élothes, came by to see him. “Great heavens!” he said to Madam Chimpanzee, “look at this. “It is a man,” she replied. “And do they say that he descended from us?" ‘Some scientists do.” “Alas! what a drop’ ‘The Harmony of Things.
