Vernon railroad asks legislation which will permit it to skirt the northern boundary of the reclaimed flats, pass south of Observatory Hill and traverse the northwest corner of the flats to a river frontage and ferry landing on the reclaimed ground. (1.) This occupation of the flats will violate the policy of park protectien, the scrupulous and extreme ob- servance of which, even against the gov- ernment itself, has made Washington the most beautiful of American cities, and won- derfully advanced its material interests by rendering it irresistibly attractive as a Place of residence. (2) It will violate, by giving to the corporation withvut compensa- tion a valuable river frontage and other rights on the reclaimed ground, the munici- pal commandment which forbids the dona- tion of public property for private uses; # commandment which has already been} | tory methods and restored confidence, we sutficiently broken to the people's detriment im Washington, and concerning the rigid enforcement of which a strong public senti- | G.)

(4) Entrance over the new-made ground renders necessary the use of the overhead trolley for a thousand feet, or as far east as 19th or 2th street, since an un- €erground conduit cannot safely be put into such ground until it has settled, an ex- ceedingly indetinite and remote date. Such entrance involves a suspension or abroga- tion of the existing law aganst additional overhead wires at the very time, when, tn | view of the threatening attitude of the trolley combine, the law needs to be rigidly | enforced, and it will create a new and pow- | erful ally of the combine in the struggle to use the overhead trolley in all parts of Washington. (.) In running over and by the side of the reclaimed flats, as a through rapid-transit line, competing with a steam railroad as far as Alexandria, the road will © no inducement to travel slowly and to serve the public as a street car line, but will be tempted to rush over this unfre- sented ground at full rate of speed (4 alles per hour), and will by so doing make .$ tracks as dangerous at the grade cross- ings and as obstructive to traffic and travel | #s the Pennsylvania railroad tracks on the other side of the park. The public sacritices involved in these violations of sound municipal policy are entirely unnecessary. The road can have its ferry lanfling at the foot of E street, as recommended by the Commissioners and the War Department, and cross to lth etueet on E street, thence south to B street. By adopting this course the road (1) will remove itself just off the flats and leave the park-protecting principle intact, (2) will buy or lease its ferry landing property in- stead of sponging on the government, @) will go north instead of south of Observa- tory Hill, and thus leave it an integral part, a conspicuous and beautiful feature of the proposed park,%(4) will enter immedi- ately upon settled instead of new-made ground, so that the use of the overhead trolley will be umnecessary and the wire may enter at once an underground conduit, and ©) will traverse defined streets where it will render valuable street-car service to residents, and will be compelled to travel at street-car rates of speed, thus minimizing the danger and obstructiveness of its grade crossings. The sptrit of so-called enterprise, which would unnecessarily and gratuitously, and solely im the interest of a few capitalists of New York and Philadelphia, strike this blow at the attractiveness, the material in- terests and the permanent prosperity of the capital, is not enterprise, but municipal in- sanity of the suicidal kind —-+ + + —____— Friends of the army continue to wonder at the tenacity with which many members of Congress seem to cling to the propo- sition which should dispense with one major- | general and in his place gives the major- general commanding the army the rank of brevet lieutenant-general and the pay and allowances which would go ordinarliy with the full rank. It seems quite certain that not more than a very minute minority of the army desires such a change, and that fact makes it more dificult to understand | why additional rank and unnecessary ex- pense should be advocated in time of peace. | Three major-generals are none too many for an army of 25,000 men; one lieutenant- general is too large for the army. Higher rank than that of major-general and in- creased pay should be reserved for the officer who, by bis conspicuous, soldierly | ability, earns chen. If the greatest honors | are to be bestowed when there is no strife, What will there be left to crown the hero with in time of war? ————q.+eo—__.. It Is not yct clear whether the Queen of Hawaii's talk of lecturing fs to be regarded im the light of a desire to make her own | living or as a threat. —“+ +o —___ Gereral Coxey should not forget that he is steering toward the very birthplace of | that immortal question, “What are we here fer?” ——+ ++ ___ Senator David B. Hill has blundered more than once on great public questions and has frequently allied himself with the most objectionable elements of American poli- tics, but he is unquestionably right as to} the impropriety and undesirability of a federal income tax. Heretofore the Senator has said but little on which to base an idea as to his views on the Wilson tariff bill—now so amended as to be almost be- yond recognition by those who knew intimately in the days when it fi menced to be—but this afternoon t Senator from York self quite f nearly-related he deemed worthy ntion. In-| cidentally he fired a sheli or two into! President Cleveland's Hawaiian policy and then put political cellulose into the holes by attempting to hold Secretary Gresham— } whom he declared to be a republican—en- | tirely responsible for the foreign policy. But it was to the income tax that the Senator principally addressed himself. He declared it to be unnec ary, | st com- senior | xpressed him- | ure and on| ill-timed, mischievous, undemocratic and @ocialistic; showed how it would duplicate | State taxation and plum to some je befogged minds the tax will affect the poor as the rich; that it is undemocratic and un- Fepublican—that only the populist wants it It will be dimcult for any one to over- throw the Senator's contention that it is Suicidal policy to discard numerous rea- sonable tariff duties to afford an oppor- tunity or excuse for the substitution of an fmcome tax. Clearly and with brevity were ether features deemed to be discreditable and dangerous dwelt upon, but the most forcible portion of Mr. Hill's argument was that which dealt with the c feature, so apparent in yme tax Proposition. “If,” said ator, “it 1s the contention that the rich should pay all the taxes and the poor be exempted therefrom, then {t may well be urgel that the rich should monopolize the rages | and offices of the country. The very fact that every citizen is obliged to contribute | income ly as it will ass legislation something, no matter how little, toward | & | THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, APRIL 9, 1894—TWELVE PAGES. the expenses of the government, whether he owns property or not, fortifies his right to the elective franchise and augments his claim for political preferment. He should regard it as a privilege conferred upon him, a shield against political ostra- cism; it increases his dignity and influence, and he naturally takes a keener interest in public affairs. The true welfare of the community is subserved by this system of indirect taxation, which reaches all but oppresses none.” There is sound sense in every word of that; counsel to which those who are responsible for legislation should pay more than passing attention, for on their action depends to a very considera- ble extent the future of the party in the welfare of which they appear to be more than a little interested. To his fellow- democrats Senator Hill appeals with direct logic, such as cannot be evaded without the probability of serious consequences. Addressing those who urge the enactment of the income tax clauses of the bill he warns them that “they should consider whether there is anything about an in- come tax so sacred, so desirable, so popu- lar, so just and so defensible that its main- tenance is worth the risk which they are Precipitating. Let them remember 1860 and the ultra demands then made upon the democratic party, to which {t could not honorably accede; demands which led to our division and defeat; let them remember the triumphs of our opponents, the civil war that followed, the military and carpet- bag governments which flourished, the force bills which threatened and all the in- cidents of the terrible years which dark- ened our party’s and our country’s his- tory from 1860 to 1884, when, through wiser councils, moderate action, concilia- were intrusted with power again, and, re- flecting upon all these things, let them say whether it is the part of wisdom, by imperil the success of our party again, and endanger the best and highest interests of our common country.” There is much of partisan politics in the speech, but it so happens that this particu- lar politician is in the right on this ques- | tion. How many Senators are there who will follow his lead? ———_+ ++ —__ Spring is here, and through the quivering branches of the awakening trees is borne in a long, sympathetic sigh the question: Who is going to help Mr. Lease with the soda fountain this summer? ——+ee—____ Twenty-nine years ago today Lee sur- rendered to Grant at Appomattox.
