THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. TUESDAY ‘May 29, 1804. Editor. WHE EVENING STAR permanent circul: regular and jon much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. 7 Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the of- fice, bat simply to THE STAR, or to Editorial or Business Department, aceording to tenor or purpose. Washingtonians who are proud of the city in which they dwell are grateful to those members of the House of Representatives who yesterday took issue, and successfully, with those who would. if they could only have their way, inflict upon the national capital more of the ancient in street-car equipment. As all readers of.The Star are doubtless aware, an effort is being made by the Philadelphia capitalists who own the Belt and the Eckington roads to secure the congressional gift of such streets as they need as right of way for what they are Pleased to term a “cross-town” line. The value of the franchise which is thus sought fs unquestionably great, and within a few years would be worth an enormous sum, yet this corporation appears before Con- @ress, and, by its agents, declares that any other motive-force than horse-power would be unreasonably expersive and productive of financial loss; in fact, that the company —wealthy enough to purchase and operate a score of franchises in this and other cities—is too poor to properly equip the ex- tensions which it is endeavoring to beg from Congress, and against which there is so much of popular opposition. That there should be those in Congress who can be counted as willing and ready to argue in favor of the unnecessary antique is rather surprising, but that there are such persons is a lamentable fact. Washington wants no more horse-cars within its limits; it has too many of them now. The cable system and the underground electric system—both mov- ing with admirable smoothness—have made plain to every fair-minded person the prac- ticability of varieties of power much more satisfactory than that afforded by horse- flesh. Therefore it is unreasonable to urge that the combination, which is in this in- stance being represented by the Belt Com- pany, should be given power to use horses on the proposed extension for two years, after which, in certain contingencies, “an underground or surfece mechanical motor” (provided the District Commissioners are satisfied that there is a practical one in ex- istence) may succeed the horses. The prop- sition is ludicrous when looked at from the business standpoint. Representative Hep- burn made this quite plain yesterday after- moon when he supported his declared belief that the proposition was not made in good faith. “The excavation of the street for the purpose of laying one of these tracks and the replacing of the pavement,” said he, “imvolves an expenditure of $17,000 a mile. ‘This proposition conveys the idea that it is the purpose of this company to put down, for only two or three years’ use, an ordin- ary horse railway, and then, at the end of that time, to tear it up and replace it at an expense of $17,000 a mile for the purpose of putting down a new track for a different Kind of motive power. I do not believe they imtend anything of the kind, but that if they are once permitted to lay this for a surface motor, that will be the motor. If they are once permitted to have a horse railway we shall have the same difficulty with them that Congress has had with the Metropolitan road.” Following this flat- footed statement, with which every disin- terested person must be in accord, Mr. Hep- burn demanded that the company should be required to put down the best available motor. In view of the fact that an ex- tremely valuable franchise is being begged for, the people of the District will doubtless be pardoned for insisting upon a modern and unobjectionable motor. —-- ++ —___ ‘The report mate by Col. George H. Elliot, in charge of the Washington aque- duct, on the bill to amend the act, “To in- crease the water supply of the city of Washington and for other purposes”— which report was printed in full in The Star yesterday—is a most convincing addi- tion to the arguments that have been made in favor of complete governmental contro! of all the water and riparian rights at Great Falls. In a report from the committee on the District of Columbia, Senator Proctor stated that it would be wise economy to secure absolute possession at this time; that ownership in part by the United States and in part by private business corpora- tions is a relation unwise and unsafe for the government, and should be terminated at ones; that’ the other owners can afford to surrender their rights now on much better terms for the government than after they have made their improvements, and that no lay of money can contribute more t> an this to the future welfare of the £ the country. These conclusions borne out by the valuable testi- submitted in Col. Elliot's report. ress should not hesitate longer about taking the step which it Is conceded must ner or later.

The investment of that sum at a ce of Congres- sional possession of business sense. The necessity for an increase in the water sup- Diy has surely been made evident to all of those 1 ‘S$ upon whom the District of Columbia must depend for the essentials of municipal government; soon there will be demand for the enormous power now run- ming to waste at Great Falls; the govern- ment should control both. In concluding his report, Col. Elliot voices the sentiment of the thoughtful, when he says that the legislation provided for in the amended bill “seems to me to be of the highest import- ance to the United States and the District of Columbia, and. in respect of the water supply of the District of Columbia, more important than any that has been enacted since the completion of the aqueduct, thirty years ago. + +e Members of Congr who find it difficult once or twice in a year to reach directly Some particular place of entertainment need rot agitate for the construction of a direct horse-car line.

In | explaining the casualty, the company said: | “We tested our current twice during the | same day, and found that it was running at | 500 volts and a little under at times. There | was no post-mortem made, the man, to all appearances, being strong and healthy. | The current, you will notice. passed direct- ly through the left side, and may thus have |cavsed a fatality that under other cir- | cumstances would not have happened.” in | this case, as The Star said, “by the rail- way’s admission, a strong and healthy | man was killed by a current of 500 volts | or less, and the only reassuring suggestion | tendered 1s to the effect that if the current had not touched the victim's vital organs | they would probably have remained un- affected by it.” If Mr. Cannon has the | courage of his convictions, he can be pro- vided with ample opportunity for showing the harmlessness of the loaded overhead wire. Announcement of intention to make | the test, with the time and place also | stated, would result in a large attendance, |and, to the great grief of Mr. Cannon's | wide circle of Washington friends, a first class Congressional funeral.

But he always had the best of me when the game was over. I thought I had the best of him last night. But it was the same old story.” “I didn’t know Dykins was in town.” “He isn't. This was just a dream. I thought Dykins and I were together when Jupiter appeared and said that we could have anything we asked for and that I could have first choice. I said to myself that this was the opportunity of my life to do Dykins, so I went ahead and wished for the earth. “You didn’t leave him much.” “That's what I thought. But he got the best of me as usual. He wished for all the street railroad franchises. I was so mor- tified that I have been trying to get in- “Ob coh’se,” said Uncle Eben, “time is money.
