_ THE EVEN ING STAR, Lohiniat antes, “THE EVENING STAR. P WASHINGTON. ‘THURSDAY... . August ¥, Isv4. crosBy Ss. NOYES THE EVENING STAM has a tegula rmanent circulation much m ae the combined circuiat the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it void delays, on ac- Personal absence, letters to hould not be addressed to Preparations for the great Pythian en- campment to be held in this city during the latter part of this month are gratifyingly near completion and it is now safe to prom- ise those who are figuring upon a pleasant visit to Washington in connection with the transaction of encampment business that the people of Washington will give them such a welcome as dwellers at the national apital invariably exterd to those who, to @ considerable extent, are their guests. For several years Washington has been the “Cenyention City” and its popularity as a Place of meeting for all sorts of organiza- tiens does not decrease with the flight of time. Here is found, as a matter of course, much that is extremely instructive contin- ually on exhibition; this would necessarily be so at the seat of government. But the hosts will not depend upon the city’s natu- ral attractions to furnish the Knights and those who may accompany them with the edification and amusement they will natur- ally expect; a considerable sum of money has been subscribed by business and pro- fessional men and this money will be ap- Plied to making the visitcrs as comfortable as even they would ask to be made. De- spite the warm weather, which has been lowering the average of energy for some- time past, citizens, organized into commit- tees, have displayed considerable enthu- siaem sand have done themselves much credit. It is unfortunate that the Western TraMfe Associaton should act obstructively by refusing to make such rates as should be offered to ihose who desire to journey hither for the purpose of seeing what a good time a lot of good people can have at the national capital. Eastern railroads have done fairly well as to excursion rates and will deubtless reap financial reward from what promises to be heavy business, but the unaccountable action of the west- ern roads can hardly have any other than a depressing effect upon the attendance. ‘There is, however, probability that the stubborn corporations may soon be con- vinced of the error of their ways and will do the right thing in good season. —~.-2——___—— ‘The proceedings of the Senate yesterday m connection with the passage of the bill to authorize the Washington, Alexandria and Mount Vernon Railroad Company to extend its line into the District showed quite conclusively that the overhead-trolley combine is not a congressional power. It was slso evident thet the Senate, or at least some of its more active members, proposes to be watchful as to the public interest. Ore of the objectionable features of the measure was that which empowered the company to run overhead electric wires for four hundred feet from the ferry wharf on the city side of the river, but the bill as passed is so worded as in effect to per- mit the company to string and operate those wires, for the short distance named, only on private property to be acquired by the corporation. Seaxtor Hale was espe- elally vigilant in his efforts to prevent any possible misunderstanding and secured the adoption of several amendments which he and others believed to be necessary to pre- vent ary possibility of sharp practice. It may be considered as definitely settled, for mone of the amendments are likely to be objected to in conference, that within the District the cars of this company will be propelled either by underground cable or underground electric power, and it is also certain that there will be no trespass com- mitted upon streets or reservations—the company must acquire by purchase such ground as it needs as sites for the passen- ger-houses and transfer-stations which the law says must be provided for the accommo- Gation of those who patronize the road. It is quite refreshing to note how, of late, cor- porations are not getting anything like as Many unreasonable privileges as they for- merly easily obtained. — ree ——— ‘The Conference Committee on Appro- priations did wisely when it sat down foreibly on the proposition to transfer control of the District Reform School from the Attorney General and the Board of Trustees to the Commission- era of the District. It would be diffi- cult to find in this or im any other coun- try an institution similar to the Reform School in better condition and altogether mere creditable to its management than the one which was thus insidiously assailed. The Star publishes today the letter written by Attorney General Olney to Senator Gor- man relative to the proposed change—a letter which shows conclusively how high is the esteem in which the school management is held by the supreme executive authorities. Had there been any evidence of weakness im the management perhaps some excuse might have been found for making an ex- periment, but with the admirable record which has been made by those who are and have been for a long time in control it was unquestionably the best policy to let well enough alone. o> -——— There Is no objection to the common- wealers forming a permanent organization if they will only consent to boycott Wash- irgton. —-— +02 Thousands of Washingtonians—to say nething of the countless Americans who reside elsewhere—will agree with Senator Allen of Nebraska that the professional lebbyist, who uses corrupt means to achieve @ profitable end, is an undesirable somebody without whose operations the country would be much better off in every way, and will also sympathize with congressional indigna- tion at persistent lobby “nagging.” But Dr. Allen's bill, which punishes by fine and imprisonment at hard labor one who habitu- ally attempts to influence legislative action of Congress by soliciting a member for his vote, or one who enters the District with the intention of lobbying therein, is too broad, in that it makes no distinction between the corrupt and honest solicitation of votes, between the inducement of an @rgument and the inducement of a bribe. Election by @ legislature or even by the Feople directly does not confer upon the elected all knowledge on all subjects, and if informaticn kas to be drawn from any out- side sources it ts only just that many of the questions under consideration in Congress be thoroughly ventilated, even if some of the ventilating has to be done by personally interested parties. According to the terms of Senator Allen's measure, it would not be legally possible for the agents or officers of a citizens’ assocta- tion, Intent upon securing the passage of a bill to abolish grade-crossings, or to bury overhead wires, or to provide for ext of the Iccal sewer system, te syst fy buttonhole Congressmen anyw the District without having those agents tmcers each Hable “tc a fine of not les than $1,000 or more than $5,000, and by im- in the common Jail of the Di °, OF With such a law the Knights of La- in here their , end officers uf th or officials in the civil ical- ithh service br nevy, wou = be prohibited frou gersistent cust to secure legislative changes, no matter how necessary those changes might be; the bill would condemn Coxey and all his imitators and followers to long’ tetms ef incarcera- tion. Of cours it might be well by sweeping legislation to remove alt possibility of temp- a es to evil far awey from Congressmen, at thé proposed legislation “Woulg not, ty fact, preserve from the briber tho legislator who is ready to be bribed. To avoid the Statute against the habitual solicitor of legislation those who seek to influence Con- ress corruptly would need only to change their ageats of bribery with every session, thus pr2venting thé solicitation by any one agent from being viewed as habitual. The Star has no sympathy with the conscience- less schemers who annoy either legislators or would-be legislators—it has been fighting such for more thi two-score years—but it does not believe that it is either necessary or wise to undertake to build a glass case about Corgress, excluding the common peo- ple from cer tact with their legislators, and sending Congress irto a hermitage, as it were, in order to prevent representatives of the people’from yielding to corrupt influ- ences. The Congressman must take his chances with temptation like any other man. He can readily discriminate hetween the man who attempts to influence him by bribery, direct or indtrect, in any of its many and deceptive guises, and the man who solicits his vote for a proposition by the use of legal argument. If he ts honest he ts In no dang+r of ylelding to corrupt in- fluences. The briber or attempted briber should be punished as such. The attempts of trusts and corporations to~ mould legislation through improper influences need to be re- sisted, exposed and punished, whether made through the lobby at the Capito) or tm con- ferences in New York. Senator Allen's bill does : ot supply an effective remedy for the evil. see ——— The tiling of a suit against the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Railway Company for failure on the part of that corporation to run cars over a route which it acquired Some years ago calls attention to the fact that more than one of these: beneficiaries by petition has failed to do many of those things which it ought to have done. In this particular instance, however, the general public should be and probably Is a8 much aggrieved as is the person who has decided to appeal to the courts for redress. When the Eckington Company was calling upon Congress for more rights than should ever be given to any private corporation, one of its stroog arguments related to the ad- ‘antages which would accrue to the people who desired to visit Glenwood Cemetery— at that time accessible only to those who were possessed of horses and vehicles or who could endure the fatigue of a long up- hill tramp. For awhile after the branch road was constructed cars ran in accordance with a fairly satisfactory schedule, but, after a too-brief experience, the company came to the conclusion that there was just as much money in running the main road and neglecting the branch as there was in operating both. The lesson thus taught does not appear to have been learned by Congress, for subsequent enactments as to street railway charters have been just as weak as was that which gave the Eckingto! Company the right to exist. But experience must sooner or later prove to be a satisfac- tory teacher, and when the time comes for Congress to deal with other companies de- sirous of acquiring valuable rights the at- tention of the national legislature will doubtless be directed to such failures as the one to punish which the courts have been appealed to. When a corporation receives from the public a valuable right it is no more than fair that the corporation shall be bound to make that right operative and to keep it operative so long as the conditions which existed when the rignt was conferred continue to be. In its disregard of every- thing save its own immediate financial in- terest the Eckington Company has probably been the greater of our local sinners, but there is condemnation also in store for the Anacostia Company. which, after securing privileges deemed well worth making a long Congressional fight for, decided that the policy of the company was superior to the convenience of the traveling public—a con- clusion which resulted in the non-operation of a branch of !ts road which of itself was mot extremely profitable. <A franchise granted by Congress should always be ac- companied by a proviso the terms of which would compel the recipient of the privilege to give the public the service which the franchise provides may be given, ——_- +e —__.
