WASHINGTON. - SATURDAY... April 21, 1894. CROSBY S. NOYES................ Editor. ———————————————————— SHE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation nearly double the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no com- petitor. tn ge but simply t THe imply to STAR, the Editorial or Business D-partment, mecording to tenor or purpose. The terminal railway which proposes to occupy with surface tracks K street and ‘Water street in South Washington will sup- Ply, if it receives life, the Pennsylvania road with an additional line across South Washington. It will also furnish the cap- ital with a large number of new grade crossings, and will interpose an additional barrier between the main city and the river front. At a recent meeting the board of trade, without a dissenting vote, con- demned the proposition. The policy of the board, and of the city, is to reduce instead of increasing the number of steam-railroad grade crossings, with their dangers to life and limb and their obstructions to trade and travel. Citizens have urged Congress to require the Pennsylvania road to remove its existing tracks from Maryland and Vir- ginia avenues and the mall, and to follow by an elevated road the proposed K street and Water street route through the city. Now the Pennsylvania road proposes in effect to accept the K street route, not as ® substitute for its present course, but as an additional grant, and proposes to run along K street, not on an elevated struc- ture, but at grade. The very least that Congress can require in defense of the ‘welfare of the capital city, of which it is the legislature, as a condition of this grant, is that the railroad shall before it makes new grade crossings on K street remove those now existing on Maryland and Virginia avenues by an elevation or depression of the present tracks. © This Femoval of grade crossings from the mall and the great avenues is sure to be ac- complished at some time and on some terms—it is now, in fact, only a question of terms—and in negotiating with the road im behalf of Washington one of the assets available for barter of which Congress must in honor avail itself is the privilege of occupying for freight purposes K street and the river front. To give this valuable privilege to the would be a piece of unjust and injurious idiocy of which the District's legislature is believed to be incapable. ———++ + ____ It is expected that the House of Repre- in the immediate future, for the repeal of the tax on circulation.

Many of those who advocate do so without thought of con- and mainly because they desire mm the general government some power which it now exercises for the good. The possible financial results to these men of less importance than a victory for what they often erroneously term state’s rights. In no two states are ‘the banking laws precisely similar, and if the proposed legislation goes through in its present shape there will be in existence a i t Ml Ee i Hi ere lil ‘would be entirely ineffective. Financial con- ditions are now most unsatisfactory, and Congress should give this state bank bill a good deal of thought before pushing it to a final vote. —__-+ + + ____ The District of Columbia has reason for congratulating itself over the compilation of the statutes in force in the District. The labor of compilation was, under the law which authorized the work, to be assumed by “two commissioners learned in the law,” but almost the entire burden has fallen upon the shoulders of William Stone Abert, who has devoted much time and a great | deal of painstaking energy to the task. ‘Only those who know of the complex statu- tory conditions in this peculiarly-governed scrap of territory can have any idea of the labor involved in what Mr. Abert admits bas been an “exceedingly difficult and tedious work.” Such a work was necessary and cannot but be of great value to the community. —~+ + +___- Most men if asked which was the more civilized, New York or Kansas, would, if re- quired to answer hastily, be apt to reply “New York." Sometime ago the New York Evening Post said editorially “We do not want any more states until we can civilize Kansas,” and that declaration brought forth ® comparison which will probably result in making representatives of New York some- what deliberate as to thought and speech in which Kansas is concerned. The western champion is Mr. James Willis Gleed, a Ver- monter by birth, but now one of the most influential of those who dwell in the great country west of the Mississippi. Mr. Gleed, through the medium of The Forum, asks the question “Is New York more civilized than Kansas? and then proceeds to answer im the negative. Starting out with the indis- Putable but frequently forgotten fact that no section of the country can get true ideas of another section by the perusal of the newspapers because the unusual thing is the ene reported by telegraph, the Kansas knight-says that if Mr. Gould and Mr. Most monopolize the column of New York news, the western farmer dependent on that column for information is gradually led to think of New Yorkers as either “capitalists” or anarchists, while if no Kansas woman appears in the New York papers except Mrs. Lease, the tendency of New York is to gen- eralize from her, and some hundreds of thousands of sensible, sweet-tempered wo- men count for nothing. Mr. Gleed’s com- parisons are, as he admits, broad and rough and are made “not with the idea of pro- ducing conviction, but rather of provoking reflection.” There are in Kansas a million and a half of people and about the same gumber inhabit Manhattan Island. Kansas, It is claimed, was settled by a primary mi- gration from New England and a later one from the middle states; New York is “rather a foreign community, a great as gregation of strangers, largely Irish, largely German, considerably Russian and exten- stvely miscellaneous.” The New York mag- net is that of accumulated wealth and power and the alleged “existence of raordinary opportunities for pleasure and profit; the attraction that at first drew men to Kan: was ciple, the abolition of human slavery.” The statistics of illiteracy are unquestiona- bly favorable to Kansas, where four-fifths of all the children under 18 and over 5 years ef age were enrolled in the schools; in the of New York, scarcely more than two- THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, APRIL 21, THE EVENING STAR, | t2ités: in New York city, less than one-half. New York fails to furnish its children ade- quate school accommodations, many thou- sands of little ones growing up in’ ignorance because of this neglect; even in the arid regions of Western Kansas every child has opportunity to atterd school. In the number of colleges and in enroll- ment of students, Kansas leads the great eastern metropolis by such a distance that Mr. Gleed feels justified in saying that Manhattan Island is not a patron of liberal education; that it Is almost wholly en- grossed in money-making and money- spending; that the intellectual life of Amer- ica is not there. After calling attention to the characteristics of newspapers published in New York city and in the state for which he makes such an admirable show- ing, Mr. Gleed touches upon the well-pa- tronized public reading rooms and libraries, the university extension classes, the art leagues, the history, Shakespeare and so- cial science clubs, the Chautauqua circles and the Browning societies of the much- abused Kansas, and arrives at the well- established conclusion that nowhere else in the world can there be found a body of a million and a half of people who do any more independent thinking, reading and debating than the million and a half of whom he speaks. Comparison as to vice and crime is entirely unnecessary; New York city spends nearly six million dollars annually upon its police department, a sum that equals the entire cost of town- ship, county, municipal and state govern- ment in Kansas. That drunkenness is common in New York every one knows; Mr. Gleed says that in the city of Topeka there are children more than a dozen years old who never saw a saloon or a drunken man. In the matter of the religious character and habits of the people, the facts and figures prove New York to be very much inferior to Kansas, while if the doctrines of John Stuart Mill and Thorold Rogers— that the best governed and best civilized country is that in which property is gener- ally distributed and where the great body of the people live in material comfort—are accepted as true, then KansaS is a long way in advance of Manhattan Island. Po- litically, too, Kansas has no reason to be afraid of competitive measurement. The misgovernment of New York city is and, with a few brief exceptions, always has been notoriously disgraceful. Mr. Gleed says, “that citizen of New York, Capt. Kidd, first set the fashion, and piracy has flourished on Manhattan Island ever since.” History shows it to have been a riotous community in which one or two unscrupu- lous men held supreme power and exercised it for anything except the general good. Admitting that populism has worked some harm to Kansas—evil that will, he be- eves, be undone at the next election—Mr. Gleed asks the Eveaing Post if it had to choose whether it would be ruled by Mr. Croker or Mr. Liewelling, would it choose Croker? The answer ts easy, and the vic- tory just now is with Kansas. ~~~ —_——_++2+—____ House bill 6601, innocently entitled “A bill to modify an act approved January 31, 1883,” provides for racing with book mak- ing on mile tracks more than three-quar- ters of a mile from the limits of the cities of Washington and Georgetown and be- tween the first day of April and the thir- tieth day of November. The measure needs amendment, for if it were to become law in its present shape continuous racing would be possible within the period rpeci- fied. This Hayes bill permits bookmaking “at any regular meeting of any jockey club or racing association in the District of Columbia. * * * where said club or asso- ciation has not used for meetings to ex- ceed eighteen days in said time (between April 1 and November 30) in any one year.” That means that a succession of jockey clubs or racing associations may locate themselves in the District of Columbia and violate the anti-gambling law of 1883 for eight months in every year. Of course the succession of associations would not really be, for as rapidly as one of the organiza- tions reached its limit of eighteen days, another, consisting of the same men, with, Perhaps, one or two nominal changes in the officers, would take its place. A pro- vision for spring and fall meetings at the existing tracks is the most that those who are interested in the sport of horse racing will desire, and consideration for those whose sole interest is in the gambling ac- companiment of racing is neither necessary nor desirable. ——_—+ e+ -—___ Whether visiting citizens come to protest against the Wilson bill, or to demand vision- ary legislation; whether they come in the interest of the republican, the democratic or the populist party, or in their own private interest; whether they are able or unable to support themselves while in this city, and whether or not they are supplied with return tickets to their homes, they will all receive fair treatment and must all on their own part as law-abiding Americans obey the statutes, and one of these forbids the assemblage of organized bodies at the doors of the Capitol. The purpose of this law is to prevent anything which may resemble physical intimidation of the national legis- lature. This law, which has been applied to numerous organizations in the past, and which is applied today to intelligent and self-supporting workingmen who come here to protest against the Wilson bill, cannot with safety be broken in favor of our pro- posed first of May visitors, who differ from the other workingmen notably in living upon the public in their journey capital- ward, in seizing railroad property in numerous instances in order to get here, and in threatening revolution if the law is mot suspended in their favor, and their wild requests for legislation granted. ——____-+ ee Philadelphia rejoices in the fact that it has at last reached the plane of modern improvement occupied by Sioux City and Duluth in becoming the possessor of a system of electric trolley street railroads in full operation. The Quaker City news- papers indulge in vivid descriptions of the opening of a new road. The cars are neat and natty and the populace turned out to welcome them with something like the in- terest with which a real steam locomotive is greeted in a_ semi-civilized region. Crowds of curious spectators gathered at every corner to see the cars go by. It will be interesting to watch our Philadelphia contemporaries and measure the space they will hereafter devote to the casualties caused by the innovation in the city’s mode of transit; but it might be well for their editors to come to Washington and receive an object lesson in the study of electrical street railroads. They would find it on U street, where no unsightly poles destroy the beauty of the thoroughfares; no broken wires maim or murder unsuspecting pades- trians. They would find the trolley stowed safely away underground and they might utilize their discovery with good effect upon Philadelphia's future dealings with street railroads which purpose using electricity as motive power to propel their cars. ee «President Cleveland was not asked to re- view the procession of workingmen who came down from Philadelphia and its vicin- ity to protest against the passage of the Wilson bill. ——- 202 ———_ Mr. Coxey should not abuse the news- papers.

THE WEEK. ‘The tariff bill has been the regular order in the Senate at 1 o’clock during the week and a number of speeches have been deliv- ered. The event of the week tn Congress has been the decision of the democratic Representatives to count a quorum by means of tellers, Ex-Speaker Reed has been much congratulated on the adoption of his pfin- ciple of facilitating public business. Some democrats claim, however, that he was not the original discoverer of the principle; that it is, in fact, of democratic origin. The Court of Claims decided, in the La Abra mine case, that the President has the right to sign acts of Congress after adjournment and within ten days. The funeral services of Senator Vance of North Carolina were held in the Senate on Monday. On Thursday ex-Gov. Jarvis was selected by the governor to sicceed him. The tariff bill will be taken up and discussed by paragraphs in the Sen- ate next Tuesday. The Senate has post- poned consideration of the Chinese treaty until May 3. Speeches were made in the Senate on Thursday by Messrs. Peffer and Allen deprecating vigorous treatment of th “industrial armies,"”"now marching on Was! irgton, when they reach here. Their re- marks were such as to call out considerable criticism. The opening of the base ball sea- son on Thursday caused the House to lose @ quorum, many of the members attending the first game. A strike has been in op- eration on the Great Northern railway in the northwest owing to the refusal of the company to restore old wages; threats are made to extend it; it is a fight by a new labor organization, the American Railway Union, and is being opposed by the older organizations. The brewery pool at St. Louis has been broken. In a riot, near De- troit, of Polish laborers over wages two were killed, the sheriff fatally wounded and many injured. Judge Sanborn of the United States court at Fargo granted an injunction re- straining Great Nofthern railway strikers from interfering with the movement of trains.

The near approach of the Coxey army to this city, ‘its progress through Maryland and Its reception here have been the prin- cipal topic of discussion. About a thou- sand members of the National Working- men’s Protective Tariff League arrived in the city Friday night and this morning. They assembled in convention at Metzer- ott's Hall to express their opposition to the tariff bill, and also visited the Capitol. The nomination of Chas. H. J. Taylor of Kansas, to be recorder of deeds in this District, was reported adversely to the Senate by the Senate District committee. Lieut. Commander Mansilla, naval attache of the Argentine legation, was killed by being thrown from his horse while riding in the grounds of the Soldiers’ Home. A pistol ball directed by his own hand ended the career of Cooper McGinn, for- merly chief clerk of the health office. The final meeting of the Capitol centennfal com- mittee was held. Fred. C. Ainsworth pleaded not guilty to the new indictment for responsi- bility in connection with the old Ford's Theater disaster. A verdict of $15,000 was awarded the plaintiff in the Breckinridge- Pollard breach of promise case; the defend- ant filed a motion for a new trial. The anniversary of the emancipation of the col- ored people in the District was celebrated by a street parade and a meeting in front of the city hall. The annual meeting of the National Academy of Sciences was held. In an emphatic manner the board of trade de- clared its oppositon to the use of tion of the reclaimed flats by priv: sons or corporations. —_—_+ «+ SHOOTING STARS, Not the Same. “Were you upheld in Chicago?” asked the wife of a lawyer who had gone to that city to argue a case. “No,” was the reply; “but I was held up.” An Alternative.

Washington has been made a beautiful city, and rich men all over the country are seeking homes there dufing at least half of the year. America. Its wide, well-paved streets and boulevards, numerous parks, beautiful statuary, publMc structures and other at- tractions gratify the eye and appeal to an esthetic taste. ‘The city has a population of perhaps over 300,000. It has few industvies, and its trade merely supplies the local demand. But it is a desirable place of residence, and the millionaires flock there. These rich resi- dents spend millions every year, and their money goes into every channel, and bene- fits every class. There is a lesson to be learned from Washington. A city like At- lanta, with the start it already has, could very easily add to its attractions and sup- plement its advantages in a way .that would draw wealthy nen from all parts of the union, ‘and induce them to invest here, and reside among us at least sevezal months of every year. Washington teaches a lesson that can be profitably utilized by Atlanta. ——_~+ e+ ____. Comparisons, From the Chicago Times.
