THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, MARCH 24, 1894—TWENTY PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, SATURDAY..............March 24, 1804. ROSBY S$. NOYES. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation nearly le the combined circulation of the other Washington dailics. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com petitor. c7In order to avoid delnys, on ac- count of personal absence. letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to ected with the of- THE STAR, or to mess Department, Urpexe. On Monday the House of Representatives will, in the ordinary course of events, be called upon t> consider legislation in which the District of Columbia ts deeply interested. First among the measures on the calendar is the bill which in effect authorizes the Metropolitan Railroad Company to continue to live on condition that it changes the char- acter of its car-propelling motive power to @ modern and unobjectionable rapid transit system. This bill has already been the sub- gect of much discussion and should by this time be thoroughly understood. Were there po such thing in existence as that organiza- Mon which tg frequently referred to as the *trolley-combine,” it is quite likely tat the measure would ere this have become law in 3 shape satisfactory to the public, but it Bas pleased that powerful monopoly to in- terfere in its own behalf and to endeavor so to amend the bid as to put money in its own pockets at the expense of the people of the capital. Effort on that same line Is to be made on Monday, and the advocates of the least desirable of all forms of the electric motor boast, through their lobby, that they will control the House. The people of the District of Columbia, however, are Rot willing to believe the House capable of & deliberate attempt to wrong the national capital and to damage its maierial inter- ests. The Metrapolitan Railroad Company has stated most positively its opposition to the overhead trolley and Its willingness to adopt a much more modern and in every Respect more desirable electrical system. ‘The residents of Washington are practically @ unit in opposition to the overhead trolley and will surely continue in their opposition ‘until the wisdom of their stubbornness will be admitted even by those who today are pledged to support the “cheap an] nasty” street-car motor. In view, therefore, of the double-barreled fact that the parties most immediately interested—the railroad com- pany and the citizens of Washingion—are opposed to the erection of obstructing poles and the stringing of dangerous wires, it is only natural to suppose that Congress will wefuse to be the creature of the greedy moropoly now intent upon capturing and disfiguring many of the city’s most prom- inent and beautiful thoroughfares. The Metropolitan company has, after riuch ft vestigation, come to the conclusion that an underground electric system @ral resembiance to the systems so success- fully operated in Buda-Pesth and on the U Street branch of the Rock Creek road ts just what it needs in place of horsefiesh, and it is prepared to go ahead with the work of reconstruction as soon as Congress shall say the word. Yet there are members of Congress who will insist upon the adop- tion by the company of a primitive and dangerous method of propulsion, inferior in every respect to that which is desired by the company and by the people who patron- ize iis cars. There can be no question as to the sa! isfactory manner in which at least two of these underground systems work; both have gome far beyond the experimental stage. Permission by the House to use the overhead trolley will almost surely re- sult in a continuance of the present un- satisfactory state of affairs, and an indefi- nite lengthening of the period during which horses may be used to move the cars, for the Senate is decidedly opposed to the trol- ley in Washington. Several of the indi- vidual Senators look leniently upon the trolley in the suburbs and in other cities, but the great majority of the Senate is on Fecord as opposed to the overhead trolley on the streets of the national capital. There 4s no reason why valuable time should be wasted in either branch of Congress in an effort to give the Metropolitan Company a Beivilege it does not want,nor to impose upon community that has no voice in its legis- lature a great and grievous burden. And mo abstract opinion to the effect that the trolley is not so black as it is painted ought to induce a Congressman, while acting as a legislator for the capital, to deliberately and gratuitously force this nuisance upon the community which, for the time being, he represents—a community which would view such legislation as an outrage. The trolley is not in question in this bill, unless it is forced in through the lobby. No one should declare himself an enemy to the capital by voting for 4 trolley amendment which is not asked by any of the visible parties in interest, unless he se@s clearly that he will be thereby pecuniarily bene- fited either directly through the lobby or individually through the increased value of his trolley investments; and disinterested legisiators should make a point of seeing to it that the votes of those who are to profit financiaily by the trolley amendment do not prevail. Sahn There is something impressive in the re- @ent march of events in New York city which hes demonstrated that the doors of the penitentiary swing open casiiy for the @ffender of whatever degree. it is a com- mon impression that somehow position or Wealth gives immunity from law. The ordinary man runs counter to the mandates ef a community and he ts promptly arrest- @4 and punished. There would be «reat in- @ignation if this was not done. But some- how when a great man, one who is con- spicuous because of his inf: or meney, 4s discovered to be a lawDrea‘er, there is @pt to be a feeling that the punishment provided for the ordinary crvninal is rot for him. Yet tinctions, whether social or otherwise, end so it happens that the jolitical king of Long Island, McKane, is now in the pent- tentiary. The glamour which surrounds high place and distinction is apt to favest the person with a certain superiority in the eyes of those in the humbler walks of life. it seems almost absurd to associate with such per- Sonages scenes in the .ives of ordinary ¢riminals. Yet, as has been shown time and time again. she .nost exalted places im poiltics, business and society are no further distant from the pen ary than the lowest strata of society. ——__ weer If the people of Atlantic City ever had feal reason for being indignant they have now. Everybody who has any sort of an acquaintance with su: sort business knows how great is the vaiue of a well-| regulated sea serpent, that wobbles in more or less graceful undulations its many yards ef siimy length and that occastonally tp- Hfts to @ terrorizing beight an awful-appear- ing head, in which the characteristics of the Bull-dog, the boa-constrictor and che hip potamus are marvelously combined. a ereature showed last Thursday morn- fag near the government life-saving station on Beach, fe shor mem who promptly ith ectiviry and @weiulite @ scared suficiwitly, petul ps. t t peful, t bearing gen-!° the law recognizes no dis-/ men fired a volley at it, and are willing to make affidavit that the buckshot and bullets and slugs were utterly ineffe2tual and were treated contemptuously by the object at which they were aimed. Other volleys did no more than annoy the stranger, and after playing around in the surf for a few min- utes, the monster put out to sea with a great deal of rapidity. A rare opportunity was thus lost, and it will probably be im- possible for Atlantic City’s notel-keepers to hold the general government responsible for the unwarranted acts of its agents. Had the Lower Absecon surfmen done the proper thing they wouid have been hospitable, would have offered the newcomer such re- freshments as they could set before him and in other ways have endeavored to make him feel perfectly at home. Then Atlantic City would probably have had the serpent | as a guest throughout the season and great | multitudes would surely have boarded in that burg with the hope that they might see the ocean wonder. But it fs too late to repine; the pitcher is broken and the milk spilt. Disgusted at his or her treatment, the salt water snake—more than a foot in) diameter and all of sixty feet long—will probably locate itself in the vicinity of some other watering place; and no right-minded | person will be irclinéd to blame it for so § doing. —- oe | ‘The St. Louis Republic insists that “‘every- | body should hold an office some time tn his / life, so that he may understand what the| | duties of office are, how offices are obtained | } and what are the qualifications for office.” | | Leaving out of the question the tmposstbility ! of such a condition as having “everybody” at some time or other in possessién of a greater or smaller public office, there are reasons almost innumerable why such an experience would not be healthy elther for the individual or the state. A very large percentage of our population is without fit- ness for such responsibilities as are gener- ally combined with official Lonors, «nd were these unfit, and, in one sense, undesirable persons to achieve office, they would in a vast majority of instances be controlled by the utterly unscrupulous few who are ever ready to assist those who, having realized their own helplessness, welcome with joy and gladness the coming of stronger minds. ‘Then the public suffers materially. Nor would there at present any soothing irflu- ences emanate from an exposition of the methods by which offices are obtained. A general understanding of the machinery, by the operation of which some men—many of them—are boosted into power and endowed with great privilege, would disgust all de- cent people and bring about a contempt for government, which, while to a considerable extent well grounded, might prove danger- ous. Our St. Louis cotemporary may have a friend who yearns for a chance at some apparently desirable fleshpot now in the hands of one unwilling to let go, but there need be no real grief should ‘he authorities decline to be complaisant; nly a few are qualified for office, and nearly all of that class are too busy with their private affairs te hanker after political rewards. ——_—_++«e- One of the seemingly miuor and yet really important propositions with which Congress may at any time be called to Geal, is that which asks the national legislature to ap- propriate a small sum to enable the Agri- cultural Departmerft to investigate and re- port upon the relative nutriment of com- mon foods. For some time past that eminent investigator into the comparative values of food products—Prof. Atwater. -has been endeavoring to spread abroad much interesting truth on a aubject of which millions of this country’s population are wholly ignorant, but no matter how faith- ful ene individual may be in reformatory work he cannot hope to accomplish enough to even satisfy himself that his energy bas been profitably expended. Not even the most ambitious statistician has dared at- tempt to estimate the amount of money which, by reason of popular ignorance as to food values, is annually thrown away by residents of the United States. The kss must be enormous and any effort made by the government to make plaia this indis- putable fact will pay a gratifyingly large rate of interest. The enterprise is one in which the general governmeat muy prop- ferly embark; if it were not, it would lack | the support of the Secretary of Agriculture —something it now has. There has been but little of scientific research in the re- gions where Prof. Atwater, es a picneer, has found lasting fame. Congress should encourage the experiments by which peo- ple of moderate means are to find out what manner of nutriment tney need and row it may most cheaply be obtained and rre- pared for consumption. The toiler who made two blades of grass grow where ouly one grew before is of :ess (mportance than him who shows the poor man how to iive |as well on one dollar us he has been ac- customed to on four dollars. ———_ +e Not unreasonably, the Philadelphia Press has gone into raptures over the “magnitl- | cent new station of the Pennsylvania Rail- road at Broad street.” That the structure upon which uniimited eulogy is based is very fine will never be questioned by any one who has seen it. Says the Press: “This nouncement that Secretary of State Gres- graphing of Chinamen in this country will | | has become universal. new station, with its grand train-shed, | makes one of the finest railway terminals in | | this or any country, and is a great credit | to the enterprise, Hberality and taste of the | Pennsylvania Railroad Company.” But why | should the Pennsylvania Railroad Company | restrict its eriterprise and Mberality to a sin- | gle city and give evidence of its taste only in| Philadelphia? The greatest of railroad cor-| porations runs its trains into and out of the National Capital on the same level as the street grades, boasts a station that is not worthy of the nation’s city, because built,| with possibility of removal from the mall in view, and is the proud possessor of a} railroad bridge that for antiquity and dan- gerous obstructiveness can defy competi- tion. Let us hope that in the near future | a reasonable share of the “enterprise, liber- ality and taste of the Pennsylvania Fail-| road Company” will seek and find permanent | residence within the District of Columbia. os General Coxey's army would have had a |Much more interesting time if they had | made their arrangements to reach Wash- ington in time to roll eggs in the White lot. | A littie mild soothing recreation of this kind | might exert a beneticial influence on the dis- | turbed spirits with which the general has surrounded himself, It is a very herd thing to give general satisfaction. During the Hawallan trouble there were complaints that the State De- partment was altogether too reticent about matters of news, and now the Chinese min- ister accuses it of being garrulous. ———_ +2 There are suspicions that Mr. Coxey is having some experience with bogus checks —paper certificates, which have everything necessary to fix thelr value except a sub- stantial specie equivalent. ——___ em ort that Lilluokalan! will visit the tates is not surprising.

Briefly stated, the treaty is for ten years. China under. takes to stop the emigration of her laborers to this couatry and the compulsory photo- be abolished. The Congressmen from th Pacitic coast have unanimously pronounced against this measure. The treaty provides for the registration of American laborers in China, but It is said that there are not more than fifty of them there and this is a «mall matter. It is understood that the opposi-/| thon to the treaty is a disappointment to | the administration, who had hoped that a| Satisfactory settlement of the troublesome question had been attained. As the time approaches for the starting of “Citizen” | Coxey’s army for Washington to demand of Congress legislation authorizing the issue of five hundred million dojliars in green- backs to construct good roads, that the un- employed may be given work, interest throughout the country in the undertaking ‘The daily dispatches from Massillon, Coxey’s headquarters, have been more eagerly read than any others. The mysterious death of Miss Martha Ful- ler, a New York typewriter, last Saturday, has attracted general attention and is as far from solution as ever. James T. Magee, the assistant to her employer, and her gen- erally accredited rejected suitor, is locked up on suspicion, while the searclf for a motive of suicide or murder goes on. Two more of | Chief McKane’s associates in the Graves: end election outrage have been brought to justice, Constable Jamieson and Justice Newton, while the convicted Sutherland ts a fugitive and his whereabouts are un- known. The President submitted to Con- gress Secretary Gresham's report on the | British occupation of Bluefields, on the Mosguito coast, showing that it was not dene with any view of establishing a pro- tectorate, forbidden by the Clayton-Bulwer treaty. Senator Voorhees, from the com- mittee on finance, reported the tarlff bill to the Senate and announced that it would be | taken up on April 2. The O'Neill-Joy con- tested election case came up in the House and the republicans successfully tilibuster- ed against it. The committee reported in favor of unseating Joy, the republican. The New Jersey supreme court decided that the republican senate was the legal body and that the democratic claim of a continuous body was not well-founded. Heavy rains fell throughout the southwest and a bliz- zard in the northwest. Commodore W. D. Whiting died at New York, aged seventy. Foreign. The government of Holland has been defeated on the vote on the electoral re- form bill, and the states general have been dissolved. Temperance meetings were held throughout England in honor of Neal Dow's ninetieth birthday. The Belgian ministry were defeated on the proportional representation bill and resigned; consider- able trouble was experienced in finding King Leopold, who is traveling incognito. The death of Louis Kossuth, the Hungarian triot, caused considerable commotion at Buda Pesth, where his admirers thought sufficient honor was not paid his memory; police had to suppress the tumult. Mr. Gladstone will probably have an operation performed on his eyes, having been assured it can be done without danger. An explo- sion of dynamite in a fubmerged hulk at Santander, Spain, chused the loss of ten lives; the people, believing the authorities careless, rioted. Mr. Gladstone addressed a letter to his Midlothian constituents, as- suring them that he was still in polities. The revolt in southern Brazil progresses. In the District. The identity of that mysterious person- age, Jack the Slasher, was located in a colored man named George Taylor, who| was arrested by the police near Tenley- town; a quantity of the property he has stolen from various houses about the city was found hidden at his father’s home near Richmond. The reports of the probable coming to this city of what is known as Coxey’s army are generally, but errone- ously, belleved to be responsible for several “rapid assemblies’ on the part of the Dis- trict National Guard, showing what could be done in time of emergency. There was a successful test of the big thirteen-inch gun at Indian Head, in the presence of a distinguished throng of visitors. The ex- hibition season of the Washington ball nine was opened today by a game on the local grounds. The defective condition of the piers of the Aqueduct bridge was de- scribed in the report made by Major Davis of the engineer corps. Convention Hall was filled by the friends of temperance, {n honor of the celebration of the ninetieth birthday of Neal Dow. The pool rooms at Jackson City were closed, and the pro- prietors moved to St. Asaph's Junction race-track, midway between this city and Alexandria, owing to a recent anti-gam- bling law passed by the Virginia legislation. A conference between the official boards of a number of the Methodist churches of the city and Bishop Hurst, in regard to the failure to reappoint Presiding Eller Naylo:, is set for this evening.
