NOYES. a regular and THE EVENING STAR by permanent circulation nearly double | bined circulation of the other | the « Washington dailies. As a Advertising Medium it has no co: petitor. cy In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of p al absence. lett, THE STAR should not be addre: dividual connected with the of- ut simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Department, according to te: or purpose. It is likely that the resolution offered by Senator McMillan calling upon the District Commissioners for information as to wheth- er any new lines of street railway are needed and whether such facilities can best be se- cured by chartering new companies cr re- quiring the extension of existing lines, &c., will bring out some valuable facts. There is no doubt that, as Senator MeMillan stated in an interview in The Star, a certain propor- tion of the requests annually made to Con-! gress for street railwhy charters are of a speculative character. ‘This is tc be expected. If there is a chance of making money by peddling a street-railroad charter, the ob- | taining of which costs nothing, there will always be those who will try to squeeze dollars out of the chance. very difficult for the experienced members Of the Senate District committee to dis- tinguish the false from the true. The rec: ord as quoted by the Senator shows that Corgress understands the sifting process pretty well. Of the twenty-two requests for Street railroad franchises male two years go but two resulted in charters. and there is focd for thought in the fact tha Senater says, there has not teet a single spvde turned in the const- pa ef thes> two prespective lines. Sei1ator MeMi"an might also with truth beve safl game connection that these rowls have not teen built neither have tazir charters been scld. Thanks to the wise prevantions of ferstor McMillan, these privil>zes have of late been without specu’ative value. If it is poss"ble, as the resolutions propose, to obtain through the District Commissioners an expression from the people of the Dis- trict as tc the needs of the eity m this par- ticular a desirable result will have been attained. There is no doubt that the people of Washington want to keep the streets of the city as free as possible from street-car lines. At the same time, the pressing need for better facilities is clearly evident. Within the ¢ity the demand is for improve- ment in the means of communicatioa rather than for any considerable addition to the track-mileage: some of the equipment in daily use is unpardonably ancient, and, in motive power, most of the roads are’ behind the times. In one or two corners there 1s opportunity for profitable extension of cor- porative privilege to the end that the pub- lie be better served. Beyond the boundary the need is principally for traffic arrange- ments with city roads, by which those who desire to journey to and from the suburbs may travel for one fare from the center of eity to the suburban terminal of any com- pany’s tracks. Or, if these traffic arrange- ments are not to be had, then the same end must be attained by some such device as the proposed traction road's clearing house system. It seemsa simple matter, when a section is built up.to join it with the business center of the city by running a line to con- Rect with one of the existing lines. But the eid companies have semethiag to say about that. They are not in favor of increasing their operating expenses unless they can see a corresponding increase in the receipts. The needs of the people, the benefit of the city, are idle terms to a dividend-earning corporation. If this was not true there would be a cross-town railroad in opera- tion today. Since it seems impossible to build these connecting links or for suburban roads to make any sort of traffic arrangements with city roads, the annual crop of requests for new charters is an increasing one, and will continue to be co as long as the city Is forging ahead at its present rate. It ap- pears that, after all, the difficulties in the way of solving one of the serious phases of the street railroad problem: in this city are the corporations which have in former years secured from Congress valuable privileges. The strong hand of the supreme authority in this city is needed to deal with them effectively. Congress siould under- take this work, not only because o? the di- rect benefit to this city, but for the sake of the splendid object lesson which would Le | presented to municipalities all over the country which are in the grasp of corpora- tions, and do not see a way of deliverance. oe The man who carries a pistol in normal times and under ordinary conditions 1s pre- sumably either a coward or a fool, who knows no better, or a law-breaker who plans the commission of some crime. It is true that there may be callow youths who have a distorted idea that it is maniy to mingle in the peaceful es of daily life having concealed on their persons deadly weapons. But there is really no defense for such a practice. The law ns and prohibits it, and in this country the law is the expression of the people's opin- fon. Men who persist in defyix sentiment of the da cond be dealt wii utmost penalty of the law acted.

If it be right to have the green ban- ner wave over a municipal structure on the 1ith of March, there is no reason why the British stahdard with its rampant lions should not be similarly displayed on Queen Victoria's birthday, Then it would be but fair to remember the natal day of the Em- peror of Germany, the anniversary of the | establishment of the French and Swiss re- publics, the birthday of the Czar of Russia, | some day sacred to the people of Poland, an occasion honored by the Hungarians, the dethronement of Liliuokalani, the birth- days of the King of Italy, the Emperor of Austria, the ruling powers of Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Holland, the Sultan of Turkey, the Ameer of Afghanistan, the Akhoond of Swat, and so on until the rep- resentatives of every nationality resident in the United States (except the Chinese) are satisfied that the flags to which they cnce were, id, perhaps, still are attached, have been duly honored. Every true American welcomes the incoming of brain and muscle and valor, no matter where it comes from, and every true American deprecates any and every attempt to draw a distinguishing ne between citizens who are nati’ and citizens who are not. Is not the one flag enough? see - It comes rather late for the present social season, but society here will have genuine cause for gratitude to the maker of fashions, whoever or whatever this mystezious au- thority is, because the calling card is to be j pat back again in its place. This remark- | able feat is to be accomplished by no violent change in the present rules that govern the distribution of the pasteboard. There are still cards to be left for each member of the family or household called upon and also separate cards for the husband and the wife, &c. These passports of soctety are to be bent in, the middle and twisted at the corners and given the other devices known | only to the initiated. The proposed change touches none of these social requirements, but by the simple plan of naving the cards made of paper of the quality of writing paper, instead of thick pasteboard, “my lady” can actually carry enough in her card to serve for an afternoon devoted to ; calling. Fifty of the new style cards, so information comes from Paris, will occupy | the space of a dozen cards of the present type. It will no longer be necessary for ladies to hire a carriage from which to dis- tribute calling cards, or employ a man with a bushel basket or a washtub to stand at the front door to receive the cards of visit- ors. The new cards will be so light and airy that they will fall in the card receiver like ieaves and cozily settle down, providing ample space for those to come. —_ -+ eo | Coxey’s army should bear ia mind the | fact that Washington has lately earned the ; Feputation of being about the least hopeful city in the country in which io seek em- ployment.
