EVENING STAR hasa regular and permanent circulation in Washing- tom more than three times larger than that of any other paper. As = News and Advertising Medium it has mo competitor. £7 Letters to THE STAR should be so Pddressed, or to the Editorial or Basi- mess Depertment, according to their character or purpose, not to any indi- vidual conzected with the office. ——————————— ‘There is no necessity for the two electric Gonduit street railway systems, of which the extensive use in Washington is now Proposed, to depreciate each other, or to endeavor to demonstrate that the other is @ failure. Both systems are successful, and 4t will be the wiser policy for their respect- ive advocates to recognize this fact and even to call attention to it as demonstrat- ing the practicability and established su- periority of underground construction, each advocate reserving to himself, however, the right to prove that the system which he favors is the better of two good things. ‘The successful cperation of the Buda-Pesth road during several years over many miles of track and transporting millions of peo- ple in one of the great capitals of Europe is also an argument in favor of our local underground system, since the latter giaims to have all the merits of the Buda- Pesth road and to be cheaper and better adapted to modern American conditions. So on the other hand the successful opera- tion of the local underground system be- fore our very eyes renders it easy to be- Neve what is said of the success of Buda- Pesth’s underground road, and furnishes the advocates of the latter good ground for contending that no serious difficulties will be experienced in adapting their system to the requirements of an American city. In their common struggle against the overhead troliey each road will profit by the success- ful experience of the other. It is possible that in the not distant future Washington ‘will have several miles of each kind of con- struction in successful operation. The merits of the two systems can then Le Teadily compared, and whichever of the two demonstrates its superiority, that system will prevail in all the subsequent under- ground construction at the capital. —__+ 2+ _____ It might easily be supposed that the gen- 3al public has not even the smallest amount: of interest in the flluminants used in rall- way postal cars, but, as a matter of fact, the-e are good and sullicient reasons why the average man should give an occasional thought to that apparently unimportant subject. Otl lamps are now used, and these have caused many fires and resulted in the destruction of a considerable quantity of mail matter. Aside from this danger, which threatens at all times and ts certain to ap- ear in case of collision or derailment, much damage is done the mall by contact with spilt ofl, and the wonder is, not that so much harm is done but that the Injury is Rot greater. The Railroad Gazette says that the officers of the railway mail service Rave several times recommended improved arrangements for lighting postal cars, thelr first preference being for electricity. But electricity is hardly avatlable as yet, al though it 1s not easy to understand why great expense should be attached to the operation of a dynamo tn the baggage car of each train. If electricity is not now at- tainable the mail service folks would be content with gas, and as very many trains are gas-lighted and very well lighted at that, it ought not to be difficult to extend the system so that it shall include the postal cars. Oil lamps are, most assuredly out of place in rapidly-moving vehicles where the mest industrious of public ser- ‘vants are employed and in which are con- veyed tremendous quantities of valuable mail mattez, Gas, stored in easily charged and sufficiently capactous reservoirs, is now making brilliant the interiors of the Broad- way cable cars in New York. The light given Is of a decidedly superior quality, and the improvement 1s much enjoyed by the patrons of the road. These improvements have a local application. New street rail- roads or extensions of the old lines are Probable in the near future, while at least one company proposes to re-equip its road with @ modern motor. Let us hope that the extensions end bette-ments, when they come, will cast the malodorous oil lamp into an outer darkness of even greater intensity than that which is now such a painful feature in many of our street-cars. —o Once more the two crack yachts tried yesterday to settle the question of suprem- acy, and once more the owners and the many thousands of cthers who were inter- ested in this great contest were doomed to disappointment. It seems altogether too bad that out of four attemps to make a Face two should have turned out failures om account of an insufficiency of wind. It was thought that inasmuch as Vigilant had already won two races yesterday might mark the the close of this international struggle and leave the Victoria, of, as it is more popularly called, the America cup, on this side of the Atlantic; but all such hopes, went astray, and the race simply degenerated into a drifting match. There is but slight consolation in the knowledge that when the time limit expired Vigilant was leading Velkyrie by about half a mile. friends as “Jim” Dunn. Miss Blake en- deavored to persuade him that her title was better than his. but he listened not to afgument, jeered at entreaty, laughed at tears. Efforts by Miss Blake to attract sympathetic attention failed at that time because every one had enough to do to look after his own. Miss Blake was patient and she undoubtedly had some knowledge of that variety of human nature which is common among western men. Persistently and yet without giving annoyance she told her story and yesterday about thirty of Pawnee's leading citizens—the flower of Oklahoma's chivalry—marched to Mr. Dunn’s residence—for he had put up a com- fortable little shanty—pointed about thirty yawning revolvers at the cowed desperado, told him in unmistakable language that he was a sneak-thief and a coward and noti- fied him to move on. There was no choice; it was either “git out” instantly or at once become one of the permanent attractions in the new and as yet unfenced, cemetery. Instead of being happy at being permitted to live Mr. Dunn was inclined to be surly, and uttered semi-threats of a character displeasing to Miss Blake's champions. These latter held another brief meeting, decided that Mr. Dunn had no particular value as a citizen, was likely to prove detri- mental to the best interests of Pawnee and ought therefore to depart to some other region where his abilities would be appre- ciated, and from whence he would probably be sent to Congress. And in two hours— which was the limit—Mr. Dunn was gone. Who says that the age of chivalry ts past? —__ e+ ___ ‘The base ball statistician is not aweary yet. He has figured out how many games each member of the Washington team en- gaged in and several othe: matters of an incidental and unimportant sort. With pre- cision such as could be founded only on bed- rock accuracy he declares that our fourteen athletes succeeded during the season in making 241 sacrifice hits. This may be a high or low club average, but it is one of which the city can be proud. Many things that pertain to the science of base ball were apparently unknown to the representatives of this city, but they know more about sacrificing than all the othe: league nines combined. From the beginning they sacri- ficed games, then they sacrificed the con- fidence that had been bestowed upon them; this was followed by a sacrifice of self- respect and finally, the sacrifice of base- ballic reputation. How much more sacrific- ing could be expected from any one club? —_ ee — It ts asserted that all Prince Bismarck de- tires now is a rest.
