Vernon railway projectors to in- sert this route in their bill of their own accord. Though the route now proposed by the road trespasses only slightly on the ectual flats, cutting the narrow northwest corner, and skirting the reclaimed ground along its nerthern border, yet a river front- age on the flats is donated for private uses, tracks are permitted over government ground not yet la!d cut fn streets, this fact preventing the railroad occupation from be- ing properly defined and limited, and a pre- cedent is set whictt being followed on a more extensive scale may result disastrous- “ly im the future. Moreover, the use of the new-made and unsettled ground compels, the company says, the employment of the overhead trolley as motive power, for a thousand feet, or as far east as 19th or 20th street. The idea was at first en- tertained that the overhead trolley would be Mecessary only for a few feet at the ferry landing, but the engineers of the road now declare that nothing less than a thousand feet, carrying the road entirely over the new-made ground, will suffice. A suspension of the law against additional overhead wires is thus involved in the pro- Posed legislation, and in the present state ef the public mind on this subject a very strong and convincing presentation of a ease of absolute public necessity will be Fequired to prevent the project from en- countering the determined and active hostility of almost the entire body of the sepital’s citizens. By making the ferry landing at E or F street, and by carrying the road across this part of the city, along well defined streets and over settled ground, the use of the trolley wire will be rendered unnecessary, the reclaimed flats will be avoided, and the public sensitiveness and alarm on both points will be quieted. The railway people, in order to meet the de- sires of the public, have already voluntarily changed their proposed route several times, and have gone ninety-nine one-hundredths of the way toward removal from the re- claimed ground. Why not now proceed voluntarily the other hundredth of the way and satisfy the public completely? The Star does not for an instant believe that the enterprise of a company which pro- Posed to erect, for its own and the public’s @ecommodation, a bridge to cost $600,000, ‘# insufficient to overcome the apparently petty engineering difficulties which threaten the capital with an abrogation or suspension of the trolley law, and cor- Porate occupation (however slight) of a government reservation. ——+ + > —____ In the interest of civilization It is hoped that the mission of Mr. Richard Watson Gilder—who {s now intent on making peace between Secretary Carlisle and President Burnham of the American Institute ef Architects—may be completely successful. As things now are the Secretary will have mo communication with Mr. Burnham, and as a consequence there fs even less of pro- gress being made toward improvement in this country’s public buildings than there was before the quarrel took place; and that is saying a good deal. There ts no cause for believing that Secretary Carlisle desires that public buildings should continue to be ugly and unscientific in their construction, or that he wants the government to pay more for their planning and erection than they are worth, so it ts reasonable to tmagine that the Secretary will consent to assist In the inauguration of a new era in governmental architecture. However gifted the supervising architect of the Treasury may be, it is simply impossible for him to intelligently supervise the plans for the large number of public buildings that are now in course of construction, and when it is noted that much of his time has neces- sarily to be devoted to the keeping of his office in close touch with practical Politics it must at once be evident that some details of real importance have to be neglected. That competition will result in highly credit- able structures {s admitted on all sides, but it is not generally understood that the plan in behalf of which the American Institute of Architects has worked and will continue to tofl promises immeasurable superiority of building at a cost consi¥erably less than that now Involved in the throwing together of most unattractive shelters for govern- ment employes. Mr. Gilder is laboring in a good cause. He has the sympathetic sup- port of millions who have acquired night- mare from contemplation of or residence in some of the buildings above which float the national colors. —__+>___. New York’s busiaess men are engaged in another bout with the Bell Telephone Com- pany, end are now insisting that the state legislature cut telephone rates very con- siderably. Just what the joint committee of the senate and assembly will recom- mend may not yet be safely prophesied, but the committee cart.ot ignore the extra- ordinary fact that New Yorkers are com- pelled to pay $210 a year for the same service which fs rendered in London for $25 a year. The argument of the protest- ants might have been considerably strength- ened—as it perhaps was—by authoritative statement as to the relative quality of the service. Singular as it may seem to those who forever insist on American superiority in every line of advanced endeavor, the telephone in England and France ts a long ‘way ahead of the telephone in daily use in the United States. By-and-by there will be competition in the brsiness, and then the public may expect to be well served at rea- sonable rates. +o It Is to be regretted that college boys Rave decided to make use of chlorine gas instead of cigarette smoke. a The District of Columbia has urgent need of a free circulating library. Again and again has this necessity teen pointed out. This great city, the seat of government, the capital of the most powerful and progres. sive republic the world ever knew, does not possess a people's brary. The student of statistics, who has no personal acquaint- ance with actual conditi in this city would say that Was . containi ft does one-twe: United States, must surely sed yond all other centers of population. asa matter of fact, in New E gess brary faciliti that exist in Wa the board of ¢ that “the depa: ital contain neari But, | uperior to any | he report committee aa] Pe ing matter in Practically out « and school ¢ opening and placed upon the e Not one of the is open in the mass of the p ar are fifty-two libraries in the District, ea -h| containing over ¢ thousand volumi mot one of a free lending library, with a reading room open at night for the | benefit of the general public. Such an in- stitution is the most urgent need of the national capital. Viewing this ocean of more than a million books, spread tanta- Uzingly before them, the workingmen, the school children, the government clerks, the great mass of the citizens of Washington, thirsty for the knowledge which comes from reading, may well exclaim with the Ancient Mariner: ‘Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink? Surely such a condition as this should not be permitted to exist much longer. The de- partmental libraries, with a vast number of duplicate volumes that can be spared from the Congressional Library, will afford an in- expensive nucleus, while shelf room and sufficient accommodations for those who de- sire to reac in the vicinity of the library can easily be arranged for in the city post office building now being constructed, or in the magnificent new building for the Con- gressional Library. Legislative permission to found such a library should be granted before the present session of Congress reaches adjournment. ---— + ee It is hardly necessary for the public to await the customary doleful interviews with Delaware peach-growers before reaching the conclusion that the expected crop of that popular fruit will probably be a short one this year. At least the general cold wave which now prevails furnishes a reasonable enough foundation for such an assump- tion. By a similar process of reasoning, based on the past open winter, it may be concluded that the ice crop was about as abundant as the peach crop promises to be. The situation, as any one can plainly see, is a momentous one. The public, however, has become so accustomed to these annual crises, so to speak, that there is not that apprehension one might expect. Perhaps the feeling woujd be more intense if it was certain that the supply of either of these staple luxuries or necessaries will be reduced. It is, of course, expected that the prices will be advanced to as high a point as possible. People are accustomed to that. It ts natural to expect that if the supply of ice In Maine fails that the prices of artificial ice must advance. There is no special reason why it should, but nev- ertheless It will, because for want of a bet- ter reason it always has. In the same way when the tender buds of the peach trees pass safely through the ordeal of a belated visit of the Frost King, as is often the case, the crop becomes a costly thing to the public, as if they were paying for this contact with royalty. It is well to under- stand the situation, for then the validity of the reasons advanced by the peach- growers and the ice-men for the necessity of an advance in prices becomes as clear as day. + + -—___ It has been announced, after a good deal of deliberation on the part cf the faculty at Cornell, that the requirements for admis- sion to Cornell University are to be raised very . considerably. The nature of the changes will not concern the general pub- Uc to any great extent, but there will doubt- less be expressions of surprise over the fact that the requirements as to chemistry will not be amended. Recent events at Cornell should have suggested the necessity for re- quiring on the part of intending students the possession of expert Inowledge as to the ccmposition ani properties of chlorine gas, the effect of that preparation on the human system and the best methods of re- suscitating those who, willingly or un- willingly, inhale overdoses of the fragrant compound. —+ ++ ____ ‘The Bering seal has, it will be admitted, kept his name before the public in a way that has grown tiresome.

Indeed, the best recommendation a piece of Dress Goods, Lace, Ribbon, Linen or any article of merchandise can have is to be found in the remnant ranks early iu life. But fragments or remainders must go. Richness and beauty cannot save them. Every department in the bouse will respond to the call for bargains. Everything of a remnant character, no matter how low its former price, is now marked at a greatly reduced price. Rich choosing in the Black and Colored Dress Goods, Silks, &c., this season’s stuffs, in useful lengths, the lowest to the highest priced, all are marked to sell quickly. Odd pieces and short pieces, waifs and strays, broken sizes, odds and ends of perfect goods, nlso things sviled, mussed, scratched or otherwise defaced, apvything that can be called @ remnant, goes to the remnant counter with the price lowered to half, often nearer quarter. This is the inclination of the remnants in every department, and what we publish today is but a suggestion of what ;ou can find tomorrow. TMen’s Department. Sewing Machines.
