WASHINGTON, SATURDAY... = CRosBy s. = @HE & permanent ¢ than the com the other Washingto: News and Advertis: NOYES...... Department, ng to tenor or purpose. After the stormiest sort of a legislative e—delayed by calms and beaten back winds, and steered off its course by ntatives of conflicting interests, who, by hook or crook, managed for awhile to Ket possession of the wheel—the Metropoli- tan street railroad bill has reached port; @ few strokes of the Presidential pen and its troubles will all be over. The act is now believed to be satisfactory to the railroad company and to the people of the District of Columbia. The company is required to operate its lines with an underground elec- tric system, and there is a specified limit of time within which the changes are re- Quired to be made. The 9th street line must be complete within one year from the day upon which the act is approved, and the F Street line—extended around Lincoin Park to 15th street cast—within two years from the date of approval. To hasten the com- pany In the good work the act requires an annual tax of $0 to be levied on each and every car operated by horses on the 9th Street line after the expiration of one year, a similar tax on cars operated by horses on any other line owned, operated or controlled by the Metropolitan company after two years. The passage of the act cannot be otherwise than gratifying to those who desire to have the national cap!- tal become that which its founders intended it to be—a model city. The management of the company seems to be heartily in accord with the legislation, and the prospect is mow extremely bright for the displacing of a from creditable equipment by a mod- ern, safe and successful rapid motor. The old question of indebtedness is to be re- ferred to the Court of Appeals, and by that tribunai decided upon its merits, all refer- ence to the statute of imitations or plea of failure of notwe being barred. Taken alto- gether. the act is a satisfactory one, and there Is every reason for believing that within a comparatively brief period Wash- ington will have an admirable and modern addition to its facilities for rapid transit. Probably of greater real interest to the general public even than the provision of this notable improvement in street reilway motive power is that section of the act ‘which authorizes and requires not only the Bletropolitan Company but all other kcal Companies to make reciprocal transfer and trackage arrangements with street railroad ‘companies whose lines now connect with ‘their lines, “and to furnish such facilities itherefor as the public convenience may re- ,quire." The transfer facilities and the @rackage arrangements which are author- ' Promise to give the people advan:ages far superior to any now possessed and ap- Proximating closely to the “universal trans- fer” proposition which has been so favor- ably regarded by car-riding Washington- Sxns. The princtpal result of the application ef section 5 will be a considerable exten- sion of the area over which one passenger may ride for one fare or nearly one fare; it practically extends the service of the trunk lines into the suburbs, saves the city streets from occupation by numerous du- Plicating lines, and by cheapening and ren- @ering easier access to the suburbs gives ® powerful impetus to suburban settlement. —__ ee ____ The suggestion of Mr. E. F. Droop, as Sutlined in a letter to The Star, that a per- manent relief fund for the families of fire- men killed or disabled in the line of their @uty should be started primarily by the in- surance companies and secondarily by the Citizens of Washington, brings up a subject Worthy of serious attention. The Star has at times urged that greater considera- tion should be paid to such matters, but it Seems to need some such disaster as that of Wednesday to bring the question to a focus. if instituted this fund should, if possible, be large enough to give all Reeded relief from the interest alone, and it should even be larger than actually re- Quired, so that there might be some gradual accretions. There are many sources from Which such a fund could be fed, outside of private contributions, which should not, ex- cept on special occasions, be necessary, af- ter the fund has once been created. In the first place the small salaries of the firemen should be increased, so that they could give their quota from their pay to the fund and he ve left fully #s ‘nueh as they now receive altogether. In other words, let the city Pey the difference. This is good economy. It will give increased efficiency to the force by removing from every one any aprehen- sion th t death or disableme it on his part means certain suffering to tue loved ones dependent upon him for support. according to Mr. Droop’s letter it would seem that the fire insurance companies are inclined to give from their profits to a funa which could Not but add to the efficiency of the depart- trent which means so much to them. It would appear to be good business policy for them to create and sustain such a fund. When the families of the men who perished last Wednesday have been provided for let the goed people of Washington not forget the permanent fund, for there is no telling When another holocaust may occur, and there should be no need of these temporary Provisions. —__+ e=—___ Of the many and diverse subjects which the New York State Constitutional Conven- tion has been called upon to consider, few can lay claim to be of greater general in- terest than that of the very close connec- tion which exists between railroad passes and legislators, judges and state and fed- eral officials—brought into prominence by @ letter written to the convention by J. T. Brooks, second vice president of the Penn- Sylvania Ratiroad Company. The communi- eation reveals a truly remarkable condition of affairs and one to which *he convention ‘will doubtless apply remedial and repressive language. M:. Books -ays he has “seen the evils of the"pess s,stem grow from very small beginnings to what I regard as Row a very great and deplorable propor- tion,” and in a terse, straight-to-the-point fashion, sketches the scene as it appears to him. “There was a time.” he writes, “when public officiais were content to re- ceive occasionally a trip pass for them- s:lves. They haye learned to ask for passes for themselves, fOr members of their fam- ilies, and for political adherents and oth- ers. They not only ask for passes good over Hines which are controlled by the officers to whom they apply, but they ask for passes ever connecting lines to distant and remote parts of the country, 100d at all seasons of the year. They not only ask for trip passes for themselves and friends, but they ask for annual passes for themselves and friends, and no matter how many passes may be granted to a single individual, if a single Fequest be refused, the enmity of that offi- cial is aroused and his vengeance exercised if he has an opportunity to do so.” But although Mr. Brooks in this in=tance addres: hims solely to the New York Constitutional Convention, his complaint covers much more territory than is within the jurisdiction.of the Empire State. for he foes on to speak of the application of a member of the Supreme Court of the States for free transportation value of which at that one time was be- tweea two hundred and three hundred dol- lars, whiie “governors of states, United States Senators, members of the House of Represeniatives, members of every depart- ment of the state government from the governor to the janitor ask and expect to receive these favors.” It would doubtless be extremely interesting to dissect the logic by means of which th persons com- plained of satisfy themselves that they are entitled to especial consideration from rail- road corporations, and it js ditftcult to figure out how a man in public life can be at once honest in the discharge of his duties and substantially grateful to the corporations that have so materially favored him. The judge o: legisiator or offictal who asks for and receives a pass from a railroad com- pany must certainly expect to at some time or other render some service in return therefor and the chances are that ninety- nine times out of a hundred the repayment involves disregard of public duty. It can- not be argued that these benefactions— amounting generally to but little in the individual aggregate—are without influence on the action of the beneficiary. A judge on the bench of the Supreme or an inferior court, a member of Congress or of a state legislature would repel with scorn as an insult any insinuation which would con- vey the idea that his official friendship had been purchased by what, in the course oi a year might not be equivalent to more than fifty or a hundred dollars; yet the bribe—for such it is—would be most potent when the interests of the railroad and the public interest were in conflict and await- ing settlement at the hands of those who have enjoyed and still enjoy the free-pass privilege. This has been emphatically the case in the experience of Washington when- ever steam railroad bills have been up for consideration in Congress. All of the argu- ment and the common sense and the equi- ties would be clearly on the side of the people, but, in spite of these apparent ad- vantages, the people would be in a hopeless minority when the votes were taken. It is quite probable that Vice President Brooks is not actuated by the highest motives in thus complaining of the demands made upon the Pennsylvania Railroad Company he and those whom he represents merely desire to be rid of the importunities of many persistent persons. The grievance of the corporation may be real, but it is infinitesimal and unworthy of comparison, even for a moment, with the grievance of the public that is bought and sold for such a nominal consideration. + ¢ = —___ John McBride, who is president of the United Mine Workers, is out In an inter- view declaring that the Chicago trouble came to an end simply because the heads of labor organizations refused to calt out their men. “We knew,” says the sapient MeBride, “that to call out 150,000 men in Chicago and 1,000,000 elsewhere meant a terrific clash, civil war and perhaps revo- lution.” Mr. McBride must imagine that the sensible people of this country have very short memories if he thinks his very fool- ish statement is to be believed. He cer- tainly must have known how untrue and altogether misleading is this the latest of bis utterances. If he knows anything at all about the labor disturbances in Chicago he knows that the 150,000 men to whom he makes reference were called out and that with the possible exception of five or six thousand they declined to come. He also knows that General Master Workman Sov- ereign of the Knights of Labor invited every knight on the continent to walk out and he also must be aware of the fact that only a few walked. The idea that “we"— for McBride takes some credit to himself— “stayed our hands in the interests of peace” is simply ridiculous. Everything that Debs and McBride and Howard and Keliher couki do to enforce idleness and discontent and rebellion against law was done, and, fortunately for all parties con- cerned, came to an abrupt and peacefully- disastrous conclusion. Mr. McBridé cannot overturn the truth of history. ——. wee The District Commissioners are entitled to the gratitude of all humane people for their prompt action upon The Star's sug- gestion that they promulgate a police regu- lation prohibiting the stabling of horses upon the second floor of any building with- im their jurisdiction. Ground space is not extravagantly expensive in any part of the District and certainly not so costly as to rake necessary the use of second stories for stabling purposes. The Commissioners are also entitled to praise for their wise amendment of the building regulations so that hereafter no building shall be erected cr altered so as to exceed in height above the sidewalk the width of the street. This provision ts dictated by local experience and by the experience of other municipalities; it is one end of a Parisian building regulation vhich not only fixes the maximum height but fixes the minimum height also—thus bringing about a very desirable condition of untformity. The building regulations of this city could still be considerably im- Froved, although they are much better now than they were two or three years ago. It should not require disaster accompanied by loss of life to bring about changes which Suggest themselves to and are in practical use in other wide-awake cities. Every ef- fort should be made to anticipate and pre- vent such awful happenings by causing the remedy, legislative or otherwise, to precede the date of possible disaster. —— wee Walter Wellman seems to be getting along very nicely on his polar trip, the alarmists to the contrary notwithstanding. For the past week or so the European cables have transmitted all sorts of doleful rumors as to the Wellman party, and there was remarkable concurrence of opinion among European experts and critics to the effect that the American explorer would never again be heard from. Today the in- formation comes which makes it certain that Wellman and his party were in first- class condition when last spoken, and were moving northward rapidly. There had been some delay from pack ice, but when spoken by the Norwegian sealer Erling the Ragn- vaid Jari was in clear water and progress- ing satisfactorily. Now the pessimists of three or four days ago are all said to be in a state of great exhilaration over Well- man’s success. Hurrah for Wellman! —_~ +> ——_ The German emperor is composing an opera.

Mr. Gorman, Mr. Hill and Mr. Cleveland should get together and arrange for a , three-cornered French duel. THE WEEK. Senator Hill's appearance as President Cleveland's champion was the feature of the political week; the action of the senior Senator from New York was entirely un- expected, and, therefore, surprising; la Senator Vilas, who has long been known as a friend of the President, and who was in Mr, Cleveland's first cabinet, seconded Sen- ator Hill's effort. Representative Harter of Chio hes not yet received any answer to the extremely interesting letter of Inquiry sent by him to President Havemeyer of the sugar trust. The joint congressional committee on navy reorganization has agreed upon a plan which it will ask Con- gress to approve. Labor matters have quieted down considerably during the past few days, and with the appointment by the President of the investigating committee interest in the situation at Chicago—now comparatively peaceful—has subsided. The committee consists of Carroll D. Wright, United States commissioner of labor; John Db. Kernan of New York, and Nicholas E. orthington of Illinois; their first meeting will be held in this city on Monday. Eu- gene V. Debs, president of the American Railway Union, who, with his three principal associates, has been in jail at Chicago, has wearled of confinement and permitted friends to set him at liberty, for a while at least, by giving bail for his appearance. Pefore leaving his cell, however, Mr. Debs isstied 2 manifesto calling upon everyone to refrain from patronizing Pullman cars. During Mr. Debs’ incarceration an effort has been mad to organize a Universai Labor Union—in which all tollers would be welcome—but the endeavor has not so far developed much strength. The dispensary fight will open up once more on August 1 in South Carolina, Gov. Tillman having issued a proclamation notifying the state of his intentions as to the law over which there was so much disturbance. Diplomatic circles haye been somewhat aroused by the fact that the Japanese minister, Mr. Gozo Tateno, was recalled by his government and Mr. Kantaro Kaneko appointed in his stead. In New York the sensation of the hour is the “breaking” of Police Captain Doherty and two of his ward detectives for receiving bribes in return for alleged police protection. Among the annual conventions in session during the week were those of Reta Theta Pi at Niagara Falls, of the Christian Arbitration and Peace Society at Asbury Park, of the Nobles of the Mystic Shrine at Denver, and of the American As- sociation of Educators of Colored Youth at Baltimore. Forcign. News from abroad has not been of a startling character, although the political conditions in France and especially in Paris have been on a par with the decidedly warm weather. The anti-anarchist bill passed the chamber of deputies with a con- siderable number of votes to spare, and it and the disturbance over journalistic privi- leges have resulted in several challenges and at least one duel; the latter was be- tween Deputies Clemenceau and Deschanel— the former's sword succeeding in penetrat- ing the latter's right cheek. The American yacht Vigilant defeated the Prince of Wales’ Britannia twice, but could not race the third time because of an ill-fitting sall and a weak gaff. Consideration for France has not been hitherto especially notice- able in the doings of the Emperor of Ger- many, but now it is announced that there will be no German army maneuvers on the eve of the anniversary of the battle of Sedan. Cholera has made some headway in Belgium; the plague and cholera are spread- ing in China; storms and floods have af- flicted western India. In London the Orange Grand Lodge held its triennial grand council. China and Japan have ceased making faces at each other over Corea and are now at each other's throats in earnest; the strife will be one of the most interesting features of foreign news for some time to come. In the District. Knox's storage and stable building was completely destroyed by fire, the loss being estimated to be about three-quarters of a million of dollars; during the conflagration three firemen lost their lives, and subscrip- tions to a fund for the relief of persons dependent upon them are being received by ‘The Star. Coxey bade farewell to the army of the commonweal near Hyattsville, and in his valedictory advised the men to beg in Washington, and be arrested, and ‘thes be supported at public expense. The corner stone of the new building to be erected by Naval Lodge of Masons was laid. Gratify- ing response is being made by the citizens in response to calls for subscriptions to the Pythian encampment fund. The Mctropoli- tan street railway bill was passed by Con- gress.
