SSS THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, MARCH 26, 1894-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, mONDAY. -March 26, 1594. gee CROSBY S. NOYES................ Editor. —-— = WHE EVENING STAR has a regular the combined circulation of the ‘Washington dailies. As a News Advertising Medium it has no com- petitor. but simply to THE STAR, the Editorial or Business Department, mecording to tenor or purpose. If Mr. John D. Crimmins of New York city what he ts talking about—and Mr. fo the things contemplated or being done by the Metropolitan Traction Company of New says that that corporation will proba- equip some of its lines in Gotham with system now in use in Buda-Pesth. If true, and there is no reason for be- Neving it to be otherwise, the city of New ‘ork will reap rich reward for its attitude of never-yielding opposition to the obstruc- u five poles and dangerous wires of the; *cheap and nasty” overhead system. The ational stubborness of public sentiment in this city and the incessant anti-trolley agi- tation for which The Star may reasonably elaim the credit, have done much to aid the ‘New Yorkers who insisted that there were other and better motors than that which ‘was being forced upon unwilling purchasers Dy the trolley-combine. Hitherto it has been asserted by those most deeply inter- ested in the Metropolitan Traction Company that there was no choice between the poles end wires and the cable, and that the latter, by reason of the expense of equipment and maintenance, was in most cases barred out. his argument, however, failed to result in the granting of trolley privileges in New ‘York, so the Traction Company has finally concluded to admit that there is a system less expensive than the cable and fully capa- ble of affording satisfactory transportation to the residents of a great center of popala- tion. The equipment of a street railroad in New York with the Buda-Pesth system or ‘with such a system as gives pleasing results on the U street road in this city cannot be Yegarded as experimental. In Buda-Pesth the underground contact is thoroughly suc- cessful and in this city a somewhat similar but probably improved motor does duty all the year round in an altogether admirable fashion. It is unaffected by snow or rain or heat, and has survived the assaults which Rave frequently been made upon it by those ‘whose material interests compelled fidelity to the antiquated overhead-trolley. For years the trolley attorneys have done their utmost to prove to Congress and to munic- ial legisletors that the Buda-Pesth system Was a “fake,” and that storage batteries were delusions cherished only by the insane; every procurable patent that promised to damage the overhead-trolley arguments Was promptly purchased by the combine and hidden away; in fact everything posible was done to discourage invention and to open up a still wider field for the most ob- Jectionable of motors. Some of the people whe desire to see an underground system operating in New York are fearful lest the electricians in charge be subsidized to prove it a failure, but in view of the success that has marked its workings in the most pro- gressive of European capitals it is hard to see how failure can be demonstrated in New York. The Philadelphia Press does not Prophesy unreasonably when it says that every large city in the country will prompt- Jy follow any real success that is attained in either New York or Washington with a system “asserting greater security to life and property and less obstruction to the streets than the overhead system now gen- erally used elsewhere.” The test in this eity has been impartial and the results en- tirely satisfactory. The U street branch of the Rock Creek road has been operated with Jess interruption than the lines on the sub- urban end of the company’s right of way. ‘The tug of war has been between the un- derground trolley in the city and the over- head-trolley in the suburbs and the under- ground system is considerably ahead on every point. ————++e—____ Mr. Theodore H. Davies, the English Guardian of the Princess Kaiulani, who Wisited Washington early in the present ad- ministration and ts held responsible for the Foyalist bias originally given to President Cleveland's opinions on the Hawatian ques- tion, is again in the city, and continues to e to his own and the President’s former waiian policy his unqualified endorse- ment. Unless the monarchy is restored Mr. Davies cannot have a queen in his family and cannot enjoy the social distinction of Deing Hawatian minister to England. He gives unmistakable symptoms of strongly favoring a restoration of the monarchy. Mr. Davies was suspected, before he left Honolulu, of importing recruits for a roy- alist uprising, and he finds much to criti- cise in a harsh measure now under consid- eration by the provisional government and aimed at the alleged smuggled recruits which authorizes the government to deport suspicious characters. The royalist pro- gram, as outlined by Liliuokalani, was merely to behead the queen’s enemies; so that the royalist sense of outrage at the suggestion of deportation may be imagined. Mr. Davies approves neither of the provi- sional government nor of the provisional government's army, and is very much dis- satisfied, indeed, with every feature of the situation. Since his opinion ts fairly repre- sentative of the English and royalist view of Hawaiian affairs, Americans may take comfort and encouragement from the be- lief that, from their point of view, all is Well in Hawaii. ee The good, but sometimes mistaken, wo- men who compose the National Christian League for the Promotion of Christian Purity did something which many will re- gard as impertinent when they decidad to call upon the legitimate wife of Representa- tive W. Cc. PL ee her hhusband because of his confesged relations with Miss“Madeiine Pqllard. The League was GCubtiess at liberty to discuss the cel- ebratéd case now in progress, and had a ight to express its opinion of either or both of the two parties most deeply inter- ested, but it went far out of its own prov- Ince when it attempted to dictate to Mrs. Breckinridge the line of conduct she should, fn its opinion, follow. Whether Mrs. Breck- inridge will forgive or punish is exclusively her own concern. +3 By star .g on what may prove to be a most distressful march to this city, the rank Coxey hi established a claim to more of serious consideration than has generally been given him, and if he con- tinues on his way, as he probably will, the! amount of consideration should, and doubt- less will, grow daily. The object of his raid on the National Capital is well known and oes not need to be discussed—fiat money is an ancient topic in the United States— but the probable results of his forward movement are legitimate subjects for de- bate. The information that comes from the now moving army Indicates the pres- ence In that body of a large proportion of professional loafers—men who are careless as to their own comfort and, as a rule, un- mindful of the regulations which have been established by man for the preservation of property rights—“tramps,” to use a gene:- ally understood term. Men of this class will flock to the standard of anyone who promises a reasonable amount of food, the probability of shelter and the opportunity for adventure. But worse even than these may confidently be expected to achieve membership ‘n the “commonweal” army. Men whose every instinct is criminal will seize this chance to ply their illegal call- ings with comparatively little fear of de- tection, while avowed anarchists have al- ready announced their inteniion of join- ing the throng. It is. quite probable that Coxey, in planning his crusade, made some sort of provision for keeping th« extremely undesirable element out of his following, but the testimony of unprejudiced observ- ers indicates that at the outset the ma- jority of the marching Coxeyites are per- sons who have a more thau passing ac- quaintance with police courts and work- houses. The growth of the procession dur- ing the next few days will be closely watched by those who are concerned in behalf of good order, id on the develop- Tents noted the local authorities will base their plan of campaign. To permit a mul- titude of penniless men, many of whom re- gard labor as a detestable something to be continually avoided, to enter this city and to indulge in demonstration and mendi- cancy and theft, would be nothing less than folly, and the authorities are not likely to be guilty of that. —___ + e+ -—__ The experience of the District of Colum- bia in the matter of Long Bridge not un- naturally makes Washingtun’s citizens sus- Picious of the propositions of railroad com- panies that are anxious to use a considera- | ble proportion of the Aqueduct bridge. The : Georgetown-Virginia structure is now in a jsomewhat rickety condition, and many | thousands of doilars will need to be ex- pended upon it before it can be regarded as permarently safe even for the traffic which it is row called upon to accommodate, but none of the companies who are petitioning for rights of way have said a word about going down into their own pockets to pay for repairs and alterations. The average man who has given the subject thought seems impressed with an idea that a sep- arate bridge should be constructed by the various companies who desire to get into or out of the District of Columbia, but must first cross the Potomac; and perhaps Congress may yet see things in that same ght. But should it be decided to give up very much of the Aqueduct bridge to tracks and wires,. legislative provision should be made that would compel the corporations benefited to contribute I!berally to the prac- tical rebuilding of the bridge and to further contribute a sufficiently large stated sum per annum to keep the entire structure in a thorough state of repair. It is not im- probable that the companies may seek to secure control and practical ownership of the bridge upon a promise to maintain it in a satisfactory condition; the proposition would not deserve a moment's considera- 'tioa. A similar understanding was reached jas to Long Bridge, and every Washington- faa knows how it worked. + ee —___ It is hard to see just what practical end Mr. Coxey is driving at. But perhaps, when he has secured as large a crowd as he de- sires, he will spread his valise open on the seat of his carriage and by the flickering light of the gasoline torch sell patent medi- cine or cheap jewelry. —— + ee —-__ The new treaty, in permitting Chinamen to come back to this country for the pur- pose of collecting money due them, offers no consolation to the Caucasian who neg- lects his laundry bills. +e —_—_ Queen Victoria has never been exposed to the callousing influence of travel in a horse car. But she forgot to say “thank you’ to Mr. Gladstone. — + «+ ____ The outery which “the coinage of a vacu- um” has aroused would indicate that the seigniorage belongs to the aching void class. The Easter demonstrations that were ad- vertised had to be postponed for one year because of the inclemency of the weather. —_——--. 0 > The Coxeyites should not hesitate to ac- cept that donation of soap from a Pitts- burg man. Perhaps they can sell it. —— wee The latest criticism of Coxey is that his brass band plays out of tune. SHOOTING STARS. Wrecked Her Future. “So Miss Flightingale is not going on the stage, after all.” “She isn't sure about it. Her prospects were splendid, but the judge excluded most of the sensational testimony from her trial.” There would be no great objection to the anarchist if his exploded bombs were only as harmless as his exploded theories.

From the Philadelphia Press, The “unemployed” in a large number of | cases, and particularly in the case of those who make up “armies of labor” and so on, | are without work first and chiefly because | they are unemployable. * * * In good | times the unemployable get along with odd | jobs and casual employment, food is cheap, | clothing can be begged, a bare lodging costs | ttle and the hospitals and dispensaries | give free care and medicine in sickness, | With these aids and a little work now and | tfen, the unemployable manage to lead a Very tolerable life and constitute a large, though somewhat ragged, leisure } When hard times come the unemployable become the “unemployed” and they talk about “marching on Washington;” but if there was work most of them ‘wouldn't jo it. 202 m Unmourned Absence.
