For the present there is. therefore no possibility of the sacrifice of a portioh of the bridge to the street rail- road companies whose desire it is to cross the Potomac and get into the city at a point above the Lead of general naviga- tion. But this is undoubtedly the time to make proper provision for the repairs which the engineers declare to be absolutely Mecegsary. If Congress proposes to grant to one, two or three or more suburban ecmpatries the privilege of using the Aque- | fluct Bridge there should in the permissive legislation be a clause which will throw the expense of putting the bridge in order and maintaining it upon the companies now as plying for extremely valuable concessions. It is urged in behalf of the corporations which desire entrance into the city that either of them can afford to construct a bridge, but they are surely able, by com- Bining resoufces, to throw a suitable struc- dure across the river somewhere in the neighborhood of the Three Sisters. If, how- ‘aver, there is no disposition on the part of Congress to compel such desirable ac- tion, there ought to be a statutory pro- vision throwing upon the petitioning com- panies the burden of repairing and keep- ing in good condition the bridge they have marked for their own. Throughout its en- tire history the District of Columbia has been foolishly liberal in the matter of char- ters, but it has recently learned several lessons that ought not easily to be forgot- ten. If Congréss decides to let the rail- Toads use the Aqueduct Bridge it should, in all fairness, assess the cost of recon- struction upon those who are to be the Principal beneficiaries; and it should see to it that the use of the piers for railway purposes is granted only under such con- ditions that there will be no diminution cf or Interference with the present use of the bridge by pedestrians and vehicles. ——_ +e The friends of good government scored a decided victory yesterday when the supreme court of New Jersey put an end to the strife which has been waged between two legis- lative bodies, each claiming to be the state senate. The usurping faction was com- posed almost exclusively of what is known in Jersey as the “race-track gan: and it was the intention of these legislators to undo as much as possibie of the good work done last year by a majority of those who were then engaged in making statutes for Jersey's government. At the head of the disturbing and now routed element was the sporting magnate known the country over as “the Duke of Gloucester,” and among his supporters were many who, like himself, have never imagined themselves as other than superior to law. Satisfied that the reg- ularly organized senate could not be worked in the interest of the bookmakers, the Duke of Gloucester decided to organize a senate of his own—a senate that would give the winter-racing gamblers all the encourage- ment and protection they needed. For a while it seemed as though, with the. as- sistance of New Jersey's governor, the con- Spiracy might succeed, but an appeal to the supreme tribunal of the state has resulted in, overwhelming defeat for those who pro- Posed to prostitute the state’s legislating power to their own private and personal financial advantage. Altogether, this is a ‘bad year for the disreputable in politics. —- ree -—__ It should be a very easy matter for Con- gress at its present session to pass some Dill definitely regulating the sale and use of -butterine, oleomargarine or any of the other iraitations of butter in the District of Columbia. There should be pretective safe- guards thrown around the consumer of such articles as well as abcut the dealers and purchasers. Whether butterine and similar manufactures are wholesome or | otherwise does not enter into the question. Food products showld be sold in such a manrer and used by the purchasers of them in such a way that nene can be by any possibility deceived in what they buy or what they eat. A law compelling all dealers in butterine or oleomargarine to stamp the name of the article upon each | Portion sold, and to require every hotel, Festaurant or similar establishment where meals are served and sold to announce that such articles are used in the prepara- tion of food, if such is the case, in the most Public manner possible, would cover the ease to a nicety, providirg it carried heavy Penalties for those who disregarded its pro- visions. Such a law would rot unjustly in- jure -the industry, and would prevent a large riumber of persons from being meanly imaposed upon. ——_ +e Henry Irving, who has just completed a professional visit of twenty-elght weeks in this country, ts reported to have received about $600,000 in gross receipts during that time. It is said that no other actor in a similar time has taken in such a large sum of money. When it is considered that dur- ing the past winter pecple generally have felt the pinchings of hard times this array of figvres furnishes material for a good deal ef solid thought. In this connection it is also worth noting that the bulk of theater Patronege does sot ccme from the wealthy. soe A French scientist declares that the hu- Man race is to become much more con- spicuous for whiskers than it fs at present. This announcyment puts Senator Pefier considerably ahead of his times. soe The New York Mail and Express refers | to “our, eloquent .owismaa” Chauncey M. Depew. This looks tike a covert attempt to snatch some of the laurels from Feeks- kills brow. to]. Residents of the National Capital are without information as to what the Ohio authorities propose to do with the crank Coxey, who is now seriously engaged in organizing an “army,” at the head of which he expects to march to this city and into the halls of Congress. Mr. Coxey’s inten- | tion may be wholly good, but the aggrega- | tion of thousands to make up such a liv-| ing petition as the Ohio crank has de- signed is a dangerous proceeding. Sup-| posing that the “army” when it lea Massillon should consist of godly and law- abiding citizens, it will not move twenty miles before it attracts to membership and | number of mentally unbalanced and other- wise dangerous men to parade through their respective states, but at this time it appears as though the “army” was going to start in this direction. Immediate an- nouncement of gubernatorial intention to interfere may smash all of Mr. Coxey's plans, and such a eonsummation is to be devoutly wished for. But whatever is or is not done by the state authorities it is cer- tain that the general government—which is peculiarly supreme in the District of Columbia—will never permit the entrance into this city of any organized body intent on demonstrations that can hardly be other- wise than hostile to Congress. In one of his statistical moods, Coxey announced that he would have with him when he ap- pealed to the national legislature not less than one hundred thousand unemployed men. How could such a vast number of penniless mortals be subsisted? Congress certainly would not appropriate money for the purchase of food for them, and there is no reason why citizens should go down into their own pockets to support the idle mob. A condition would therefore exist which would be prolific of crime—a condi- tion which should never be allowed to materialize. It is possible that the “army” may never reach Washington, and, pot sessed of that belief, many people are in- clined to laugh when they read of the pre- parations that are being made at Massillon, but against that possibility is a powerful probability that the “army” will organize and that its commander-in-chief will at least make a serious effort to carry out | his plans. oe That was a very creditable piece of work which was done by the Fourth Pattalion | of the District National Guard on Tuesday evening. Without premonitory intimation of his intent, Col. Clay decided.to call out, as if for service, that portion of his regt- ment which ts commanded by Maj. Camp- bell. The men ta be summoned live in widely separated portions of the city, yet, in but a few minutes over an hour from the time of Col. Clay's telephone message to Maj. Campbell, sixty-three per cent of the battalion was in uniform, under arms and ready to do any duty that might be required of them. The showing was re- markably good and highly creditable. The system by which such rapid assembly is made possible is common to the entire brigade, and it is but reasonable to believe that the whole of General Ordway's com- mand could be assembled at some central point in less than one hour and a half. The training of the citizen-sollier has been wonderfully improved during past few years, and especially is that fact evident in Washington, Nowhere else can there be found a brigade of volunteer troops that hasin it a smaller proportion of the “play soldier” element than is to be found in the District National Guard. The instruction is entirely practical, based on all that is latest and best in military science, and as a result the District of Columbia has a reserve police force equal in poiat of effi- ciency to any in the United States—an or- ganization of which every good citizen should be proud and with which Corgress should deal Mberally. — + +e —____ A disposition to find a kind word to say tor Croker by some of the newspapers, or at least to let him alone, is about due now that he has announced bis attention of re- turning to New York. oe Madrid is feeling comparatively relieved over a dynamite explosion Which was not caused by anarchists. +e Coxey promises to earn the distinction of organizing the most uncomfortable excur- sion on record. oe There is small room for hope tnat Glad- stone's retirement from politics is built on Paiti principles. + e+ Admiral da Gama has displayed more ac- tivity as a refugee than he did as an in- surgent. ——_+ ++ ___.
