4 'HE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1894—TWELVE PAGE _THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WHURSDAY...............Mareh 8, 1894. CROSBY S. NOYES..............,.Editor, THE EVENING STAR has a regular a: poceanent cireulntion nearly double combined cirealation of the other wassesesen dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com- absence, letters to be addressed to a editorial or Business Department, according to tenor or purpose. —— The Metropolitan bill not only re-incor- orates the road, relieving it in the opinion of the District authorities from the double forfeiture which it has incurred, but it frees the road from the necessity under existing law of providing unobjectionable rapid tran- sit on its F street line. The law now en- Joins upon it to use some other motor than horses or the overhead trolley on all its Ines, and failure up to the present time to obey this law (though experiments doubt- less in good faith have been made) is one of the public grievances against it, and a statutcry ground of forfeiture of its fran- ehise. The bill now pending requires the use of the underground electric system on the 0th street line, but leaves the question of its use or the use of any other improved | motor on the F street line to the discretion ef the company. It provides that “in the event that said substituted mode of propul- gion by electric underground system shall, upon snd after sufficient test and trial by @ctual use at the places aforesaid, prove to De a practical! and sufficient mode of propul- gion” then the company shall within one year place the underground system upon every other part of their lines. In order to avoid the expense of modernizing the F Street line, it would apparently be only nec- essary for the company to say after the formality of a year’s test that the under- ground system {s not “practical” or not “sufficient,” meaning thereby commercially impracticable, or in plain English a little more expensive than some other method of | Propelling the cars. If the trolley syndicate obtains control of this road there is no ques- tion whatever that this opportunity would be utilized to condemn the underground system, in order to make the way easy for Ahe overhead trolley on the ground that it/ is the only practicable substitute for the ear horse. The law should not offer this temptation to the company to save itself money by making its so-called experiment | @ failure. There is in reality no experiment about it. 4s successfully used on the main street rail- | ‘way system of Buda-Pesth, a city of half a million people, the most enterprising and Progressive European capital of today, and | that System has been fully described and Milustrated in the Star. There are over twelve miles of double track running through the heart of the city, and the sys- tem has there been subjected to all the tests of severe climatic conditions, heavy Grades and curves, long hauls, and heavily | Jaden cars. Then we have under our very @oses the mile of track on U street where @n underground system, improving in some Fespects upon that of Bula-Pesth, has been for a sufficient length of time in successful eperation. The corporation should be grant- ed ne discretion as to the improvement of its motive power on F street. It should be Fequired by the law to substitute for its horses some mechanical motor other than steam or the overhead trolley on all parts of its lines. At the very least it should not be reileved by Consress from its present obligation to make this comprehensive ehange. The utmost of concession to the ompany should be the privilege of using he cable, storage battery or other unobjec- tionable mechanical motor on its F street Mine if after a year’s test of the under- wround electric system on the 9th street Mine it preferred to do so. A choice between ‘unobjectionable motors might be granted it ‘Dut not the choice whether on the principal part of its line it will make any change at ell The public interest in the forfeiture pro- ‘ceedings against the Metropolitan road is based not upon a revengeful or selfish desire to kill this road for the benefit of some cth- | Br set of men, but on the desire to compe! the road to pay its debts to the public and to modernize its system in an unobjectionable fashion. The people vf this District paid for certain paving which the law required tee railroad company to pay. After the fact and amount of this indebtedness to the District had Leen determine! by the courts, the company escaped reimbursing the tax- Payers for their outlay on its account by Pleading the statute of iimitations. Con- gress being asked to grant certain privi- Jeges to the road required it to pay the amount of this indebtedness, or forfeit its charter. The company has paid no atten- Uon whatsoever :o this cominanid of Con- gress, and the only question before the House District committee on this phase of the problem is whether it will yield to the defiance of this corporation, cease to en- @eavor to reimburse the people of the Dis- trict for their outlay on ‘the raiiroad’s ac- count, and in effect apologize to the road for having once peremptorily told it to pay its honest debt. It mignt as well be under- stood that not a cent of this money will be paid, and not a foot of expensive improve- ment of the road in the public interest be made, unless it is coupled by Congress as a/| peremptory condition pressdent of a grant to the road of the right to live, which under the acts of Congress it has twice forfeited. The responsibility of pro- tecting the interests of the people of the capital and of preserving its own self-re- spect is upon Congress. The people of the District are anxious that the underground electric system shall be used on a trunk Mme in the capital under circumstances that will asgure it fair play, and they are willing to make some concessions to se- cure this result. But they call upon Con- gress for a certainty of fair play. — oe Paul Jones, who advertised as having ad- Wertised that he would go around the world without money, turns out to be a con- scienceless faker.

Tammany might find it advisable to expel Bomebody—not necessarily because of cul- pability, but to vary the resignation monot- pny. ee Mrs. Lease appears to have a thirst for Motoriety that no drug store could quench. There is every indication that the debate on the tariff bill in the Senate will far out- last that in the House, and perhaps the country will! he reading taziff speeches aiong in Jene or July. point to a hard summer. This is d the protestations of Mr. Teller, detivered Fecently, that he does not intend to oppose the passage of the tariff bill as he opp the zpeal bili last autumn, but will confine his obstruction to “the s' tr of par- Hamentary opposition.” Bu Probably be unable to check the torrent of tariff talk that will soon be started, and, if the significant words of Senators Allison and Aldrich, chief prophets of pro tion, are to be taken as an index, the deba may be running. like the famous brook boesy, when the thermometer with the hundred mark and Preparing their puak and fire Allison said: “Speaking as a Se one intend that I shall have. and as a member of the F omialt- tee, due opportunity to consider the bill in every pacagraph and in every item. So I desire to say to those who believe that th: M@mportant bill is to be rallroaded through | of} Mr. as a Senator T the Senate, that they may as well lay that idea aside for the present. It will be de- bated, it will be considered; and after due consideration the best judgment of the Sen- ate will be reflected in whatever is done.” ‘The same tone was taken by Mr. Aldrich, who said: “I know that a bill which has taken the majority of the committee five weeks to consider—and the end is not yet— is Hable to take a certain Jength cf time to be considered by the minority of the com- mittee.” These expressions are fraught with meaning, and with one meaning alone. The tariff is to bé kept before the country just as long as the republican Sen:tors are able to hold it there. They believe ‘hat the end justifies the means, and that they are serving the country and especially their party by postponing as long as possible the enforcement of the proposed tariff, holding that the existing law is the right law, and that a postponment of the proposed new law is therefore justifiable. Meanwhile the country wiil be deluged with statistics and dinned with noise until the locusts are dron- ing and the hokey-pokey men are planning their vacations. —_——_seoo-———— | After four weeks of a campaign against |all manner of sin, the greatest of living evangelists—Moody and Sankey—have gone to labor in another field.. Their methods have been made apparent to every resident of Washington who was at all interested and the good they have done must be | Yery evident to all who care to make even |@ cursory investigatioa.

But wonderful as was the Interest displayed by the hundreds of thousands of people who crowded Convention Hall during the month of revival it exceeded but little that shown by those who read care- | fully the long and fnteresting reports | | Printed in some of the local papers. Ad- | dressing an audience of six or seven thou- sand people in the evening, Mr. Moody’s |talk was in the next issue of The Star | spread before quarter of a million of read- | lers—an audience such as is vouchsafed to |but few speakers. Oceasionally there will |be found a human being who affects to | doubt the efficacy of the Moody method and | | who wili even undertake to argue that such exercises are merely foolish, but that va- riety of persons is scarce and never has any considerable following. There is ample | testimony as to the betterment of many | lives consequent upon attendance at the |Moody meetings and the most malignant jenemy of all that is meant by Christian The underground electric beeeeeead a right! ving cracked | Mr. Teller will; are} faith must perforce admit that none of |those who listened to the admonitions so | \freely dispensed but were better citizens {for the lessons taught.

In every way Wash- ington is better off for the visitation which has just come to an end; an extension of the active evangelical period would be grat- jifying and heipful. It would be an excel- ‘ent thing for the District of Columbia— |viewed from the purely material stand- point—if Dwight L. Moody and Ira D.
