THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 28, 1894—-TWELVE PAGES, THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY.......February 28, 1894. CROSBY S. NOYES... HE EVENING STAR b: permanent circulatio: the combined circalation of the other ‘Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has mo com- petitor. cin count of personal absence. THE STAR any indivi fice. but simply to THE STAR, the Editorial or Business Department, mccording to tenor or purpose. Opponents of all kinds of electric street- car motors, save only that primitive and obstructive variety known as the overhead trolley, when driven Into a corner by the evident superiority of other and more de- sirable applications of electricity, have in- sisted that the only thing needed to make plain the unreliability of the underground systems was a short period of wintry ‘weather. The meterological conditions were, it was loudly alleged, fatal to the preserva- tion of a working current of electricity. Local experience, has, however, failed to give even the slightest support to the theor- fes of those who, for selfish reasons, lauded the overhead trolley and abused all other motors. Commencing on Sunday and con- tinuing quite long enough to afford a satis- factory test, Washington suffered from a storm of snow and sleet—a superabundance of humidity potent to steal electrical force and, by obstructing tracks, to make the work of car-moving extraordinarily difficult. It is gratifying to those Washingtonians who have set their faces against the over- head trolley, to know that in every respect the underground system is incomparably mheag of its adversary. For more than a year there has been operating on U street @ lengthy section of the Rock Creek Rail- way Company’s road. The cars of this company have a double trolley equipment— one overhead, for use outside the city lim- its, and one beneath the car, for use inside the boundary. From the suburban ter- minus of the road to a point just north of Florida avenue the overhead trolley ts used; then connection is made, and speed- ily, between the car and the wire which, in a small conduit, conveys the necessary current. Progress in the city is therefore made without the incumbrances of unsight- ly poles and dangerously exposed wires. It has always been held by the folks who swore by the overhead method that the underground system would surely fail when the conditions were moist; that the current would dissipate itself to such an extent as to be practically worthless. As a matter of fact, the underground section of the road worked admirably through Sunday's storm while the overhead trolley was in a continu- ally crippled state. The buried wire carried all the electricity with which it was sup- plied; the exposed wire parted with an ex- tremely large percentage of the energy it was supposd to carry. The underground trolley was triumphant; the overhead trol- ley was, to put it mildly, very much em- barrassed. There is nothing strange in this. In Buda-Pesth an underground system has given the utmost satisfaction through many winters much more severe than any that have ever been known in this part of the country. In all situations—around curves of the sharpest kind, and up heavy grades the underground wire, with its metailic circuit, when properly protected, has dis- played working capabilities immeasurably superior to those ever found in the over- head article. Recently, the president of the Rock Creek Company made public state- ment as to the superior durability of the underground system and of its greater econ- omy in operation. More costly at first it undoubtedly is, but it is in every respect @ better investment. Of its general desira- bility there is no question. It offers no ob- struction either to traffic or to the opera- tions of the fire department. Should a wire break there would be no danger for the passer-by, as there is whenever an over- head conductor snaps. Within a little while the much-vaunted overhead trolley will, in point of utility, be classed with the stage coach and the mule-drawn canal boat. Washington will have none of it. ——_ +++ —____ In last week's issue of the Financial Re- view Editor Britton expounds at some Jength on the absence of the speculative feature in Washington real estate and the Steady growth of the city toward and even | beyond the boundary lines of the District of Columbia. No city in the country has enjoyed such solid progress during the past! fifteen or twenty years as has been experi- enced here and nowhere else have legiti- mate investments resulted in a larger per- centage of profits. Few residents are aware of the great density of Washington's popu- lation within the limits of the city proper, and many will be surprised to learn that it is within two or three of the top of the American list in this particular. The ten- dency now is, therefore, toward suburban homes (although it will probably be at least another decade before all the city building lots are occupied), and this condition com- Pels attention to many matters as to which Congress is apparently careless. In a nat- ural and healthy way, large settlements have come into existence and are now wait- ing those improvements necessary to the welfare and comfort of those who dwell therein. “This state of facts,” says the Re- view, “has grown up without speculative stimulus, and certain necessary duties and results in the future of the District are in- dicated therefrom. It means the rapid ex- tension of the plan of our city streets and avenues; of our system of sewerage; of our school facilities; of our police and our fire department facilities; of our water Pipes and gas mains and electrical conduits. It means that we are face to face with the present need of a large and rapid extension ef all those instrumentalities of municipal improvement which minister to the health, the morality, the intelligence, the comfort and the good government of a population which has outgrown the old corporation Unes and must be properly cared for in its mew and enlarged area of homes and of home livers.” ——_-+e—___. If the Brazilian insurgents should be Dbrcught face to face with punishment for their rebellion they can Plead in extenua- icn that it was a very little one. see —__ Some very brilliant oratorical sparks Might result from a collision of the Reed and McKinley booms. 2 ____ The retirement of Mr. Giadstone will be @ severe blow to the English cartoonists. tee Inquisitive Washingtonians of the pro- @ressive sort and mindful of the city’s best interests are asking themselves whether it 4s a reasonable proposition that conten- plates the surrender of the Aqueduct Bridge to one, two, three or four suburvan rail- road companies. Desirous of doing any- thing that promises to add to the general welfare, yet careful that there be no im- Proper or unnecessary sacrifice of the peo- Pie's rights and privileges, The Star makes similar inquiry. Public sentiment through- @ut the District of Columbia is decidedly gdverse to the ultra liberality which would give away a valuable piece of property with- eut receiving in return any consideration worth talking about. In times past Wash- ington has freely donated franchises that in other cities would be easily disposed of at large figures, but recently the public eyes have been opened to the foolishness of such a » is proper demand that corporations st not be more highly favored than individuals. It is being urged that no one railroad company can afford to construct a bridge across the Poto- mac, and the sam who make that intima and probably roads to use the Aqueduct Bridge, shou! the necessary permission be given by Congress. It might therefore pertinently be asked why these roads do te combine Wo construct a bridge which| hall give them the facilities they seem to need. It is admitted that no ordinary sub- urban road could afford the expenditure of the cost of a suitable structure—estimated to be about $200,000—but a division of the cost would lighten the burden very ma- terially. Some time ago it was understood that sufficient track facilities could be pro- vided on the present piers and alongside the bridge now used. by the public without in any way lessening the existing accom- modations. That proposition seems to have been abandoned entirely and it is now an- nounced as the policy of those who would be careful first of the railroad interests that a part of the existing bridge be taken away from the people and presented to the railways. To the use of the bridge plers, under proper conditions, there might be no very strenuous objection, if the rights of pedestrians and drivers of vehicles were respected, but any abridgment of the pub- lic’s right and any outright gift of the pub- lic's property, such as that which turned over the Long Bridge to the Pennsylvania railroad, would be resented by a great ma- jority of the people. The benefits to the capital of suburban development in Virginia are great, and facilities for crossing the Potomac at or near Georgetown must and will be soon secured by the rapid transit companies which are to create this develop- ment, but it is easy for the city to overdo the business of benefactor in this line by foolish and unnecessary donations, injurious to certain classes of citizens at present and to the permanent interests of the entire capital for all future time. —__ -+ e+ —__ ‘There is probably much of exaggeration in the stories wafted across the Atlantic as to the panic which affected British lib- erals when it was yesterday announced that Gladstone would surely resign the premiership in the near future. The liberal party is not a weakling, and although it has leaned very heavily for many years upon the most gifted of its members, it will not fall when the most conspicuous pillar is removed. Composed of the best and most wide-awake elements in British politics, it is entirely too great an institu- tion to be dependent upon one man, even though he have phenomenal governing abil- ity. It is not to be expected, however, that the one who succeeds William Ewart Glad- stone will, at the time of the succession, possess so much of the public confidence as is freely given to the veteran statesman, but there is no reason why he should not be a thoroughly capable man—for the party has many such. That the premier to come will be as deeply interested in the Irish home rule question as Gladstone is and has been is a little short of probable, but as soon as parliament makes up its mind to grant Ireland the comparative independence which it asks, the personal enthusiasm of even a prime minister, apparent on either side of the argument, will be inconse- quential. In some quarters there is still incredulity as to Gladstone's resignation, but the facts in the case point very clearly to the speedy retirement from public life of the man whom England has long de- lighted to bonor. Far advanced in years and suffering severely from an affection of the eyes, Mr. Gladstone has about reached that stage where he is no longer physically fit to attend to the multifarious duties of his high and most important office. Whether he retires at Easter or not the day is neces- sarily near at hand when his intimate rela- tionship with the affairs of state must cease, and when that time arrives the Brit- ish empire will lose its most conspicuously faithful servant. But the party with which he has long been identified will not be dis- integrated by the retirement of its leader; it is rich in men of wisdom, even though only a few can be regarded as approaching to brilliancy. The sound counsel and the convincing oratory of William Ewart Glad- stone will be lost—more’s the pity—to Eng- lish liberalism ana to the empire. But the world and the world’s business will go right along. American citizens generally have great admiration for Mr. Gladstone, but only a few will be guilty of the idolatry which would regard him as indispensable. ——_ + «= -—__—_ It is estimated by some of the warmest newspaper supporters of the administra- tion that the President has reached the point of gloomy depression where man sighs for a lodge in some vast wilderness. The general public will continue to believe, however, that he is yearning just now for a rest, for the fresh, open air, and for ducks, ——_+++—____- Ex-President Harrison is by many ex- pected to furnish new demonstration as to the error of a certain impression that poli- tics is no place for a college professor. ——___ + oe Mr. Stead, having blue pencilled this coun- try as thorougbly as possible, has decided to go back and edit Great Britain for awhile. —_—__—__++«____~ New York would much rather have the President go gunning for ducks than for her prerogatives in the appointment line. ——_r oo ____ In the interests of legislative courtesy it is hoped that Mr. Pence is not bluffing on a full beard. —_— + e____ SHOOTING STA Im the House. A moment since the tempest raved As ne'er it did before; The gentle whisker lightly waved— And Peace held sway once more. A Boy's Curiosity. The small boy’s parents had taken him to the opera. The prima donna had just concluded a ciassic aria, and when the storms of applause had subsided, the young- ster was heard to say: “Paw?” “What is it, my boy?” “Did that woman holler ‘cause she was hurt, or "cause she was havin’ a ;ood tine?” a as The First Step. “An actor I would be,” he cried; “And draw admiring flocks; My wishes shall not be denied; I'll straightway learn to box.” A Boomerang Jest. “I write poetry,” she said, timidly, to the editor; “I thought maybe you would be willing to give me a trial on your paper.” “A trial,” he said, in facetious tones, “really, now—I am no judge.” “You mean, of poetry,’ she said, as de- murely; “I guessed as much by reading your paper.” And then she floated out as bashfully as she came. Though Ajax attempted The lightning to “jolly,” He'd never have fooled With an overhead trolley. He Was One. “Young Faddies talks like a socialist,” said Mamie’s father. “Oh, yes, indeed,” replied Mamie. “I don’t believe it would’ be worth while for our church to give any socials at all if it were not for Charley, He's always the life of the party.” Warfare. Her friends refer to her “war of words,” Though a peaceable lass is she. But she never could teach Her parts of speech To do as they should, and agree. ——___+ e+ An Unpleasant Inference. From the New York World. it is clear that the bill proposed by Mr. Catehings to compel members to vote who are present and refuse, by deducting a certain sum from their pay, is based on the principle that what a Represeniative will not do for patriotism and duty ne will do for five dollars. This is not a lofty view of Congressmen, but it is feared that Mr. Catchings understands his men. ——__~+ =] Farfetched Comfort. From the Cincinnati Tribune.
