4 THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, CROSBY S. NOYES... .. ~ —————————— THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent cireulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. fice. but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Department, mecording to tenor or purpose, With extraordinary lack of consideration for the best interests of this city, the House committee on the District of Colum- bia has made a favorable report on a bill which proposes to give life to the Washington and Georgetown Terminal Rail- ‘way Company. For years honest effort has been put forth to remove all steam-railroad grade-crossings within the city and the agitation in favor of such reform had re- sulted in making so plain the sentiment of the people that the railroad companies had announced their alleged willingness, the one to elevate, the other to depress, their Imes within the city limits. And yet, with the promises to modernize unfulfilled, the House committee on the District of Colum- bia proceeds to recommend legislation which, if it should ever find its placeon the statute book, would add to the distressing conditions now existing; deliberately puts itself on record as desirous of placing add!- tional obstructions of a probably permanent sort between the principal portion of the city and the river-front; announces itself as the champion of obsolete methods of urban railroading and of an extension of the murderous and traffic-delaying system of surface tracks. The measure is a re- markable specimen of unconstrained liber- ality and shows the extreme willingness of generous men to give away public property and privileges which can never be right- eously donated even should both branches of Congress and the Chief Executive com- bine to make the gift. In other cities rail- road corporations, in this day and genera- tion, are generally required to purchase the ground they need for their right of way, but here is a proposition to give away valuable territory and privileges, not only without mittee designs to give away the whole of Water street from the Long bridge to K street south, and the whole of K street to @ point near Third street southeast, where the tracks of the Terminal Company may connect with those of the Pennsylvania docks on the Potomac between New Hamp- shire avenue and the Aqueduct bridge and at other points on the Potomac river ad- its road, and it may H g grade crossings along the proposed line if a number were eliminated of the people and protecting them by suita- bie provisions, that President Cleveland, and Chairman Wilson of the House com- inittee on ways aril means are opposed to the incorporation of the income tax ides with the tariff hi, and yet it is announced that the Senece committee finance ———— <4. It seems to be reasonably well established Secretary Carlisle it on any f f beginning to bear fruit. Out im western Montana the blood of officers of law has been spilled by those who in the delirium of a new and startling doctrine have deemed themselves superior to the statutes which wise legislators have pro- vided for the government of this Republic. The story of lawlessness by detachments that started out to join the leader in the vicinity of this city has been read with ‘close association of those who believe in legislation by the mob. In Montana and in Indiana trains have been forcibly seized, and in other portions of the country plans are being made for the capture of engines and cars, with the help of which the dis- orderly agitators hope to reach this city. It may be, and doubtless will be, argued that the Coxeyites who are now somewhere r hersburg are peaceful, even if citizens, but it will be difficult hem with any degree of confi- They have been fairly amiable up to ime because they have been reasonably cared for, but the country has no assurances worthy of consideration that they will continue to be law-abiding when they awake to a realizing sense of the situa- tion as it exists in Washington. That the ews of the m at Billings did not cause Coxey sorrow is evidenced by his being notified of the % ed that the monopolies had brought this trouble upon themselves. “I deprecate violenc@ of any sort in this 1 : watched this movement of the discontented unemployed toward the national capital, there are no essential points of difference | |} between the mobs in the west and the/| / as they are provided with food and shelter and transportation, but the testimony has accumulated during the past few days indicates that the law will not be respected when it interferes with any of the “army's” desires, unless the instruments which are frequently necessary for the law's enforce- ment are close at hand. Mr. Coxey, con- fesses that for him “it is very hard to draw the line and say where a violate the law in getting that right.” It may be authorities to draw even the obfuscated i Undoubtedly Judge Bradley inclination to interfere with the amuse- ments of the Woodford county friends of Col. Breckinridge so long as the burning is confined to an effigy. This desire to burn Judge Bradley in effigy is said to be due to the influence of thousands of circulars sent through the district in ap effort to con- vince the people of the district that the verdict in the Pollard case was due to Judge Bradley's charge, which is alleged to have been unfair. While the charge of the judge is still subject to review a due regard for public propriety would forbid @ discussion of it, but the course taken by Col, Breckinridge’s indiscreet friends in attempting to bring contumely upon a Judge who discharged His difficult duties conscientiously and fearlessly will cer- tainly not better the standing of Col Breck- imridge before the public outside of Wood- ford county. It might not serve Col. Breck- imridge’s political ends so well, but would it not be fairer and better on all accounts to postpone the effigy-burning until after the higher court has passed upon Judge Bradley’s rulings and charge? If a new trial should be granted on the ground that Judge Bradley was upfair, there would be an apparent justification of the effigy-burn- ing, and if he should be sustained the Woodford county people would have the opportunity and privilege of burning sev- eral judges in effigy instead of one in the Breckinridge campaign fire. ———_++e ——_ The soldiers of the Coxey army of peace are to carry oak bludgeons, from which will float white streamers, bearing peaceful and reassuring inscriptions.
