— THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. — Ss. NOYES. seeceeeee — THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more whan the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News a Advertising Medium it has no competi © to avoid delays, on ac- ence, letters to The time cannot be far off when the large cities of the country will begin seriously and earnestly to consider the problen: of how best to take possession of the street railway franchises.,The great strike im Brooklyn, added to the scandal of the trolley combine in Philadelphia, must have a notable effect in advancing this date, for the troubles that come of cor- poration monopoly will grow faster and faster as the large centers of population increase in size. These franchises are too valuable to be given away, and yet they must be turned over to somebody or some combination of persons, for the general convenience of the public. The matter seems to lie between the sale of the fran- chise to the highest bidder and absolute ownership by the community. On this point the letest number of “Engineering News” has to say: “The best available remedy within great cities seems to be municipal ownership of the whole street railway system, and its lease to operating corporations on terms just to both parties, but leaving the abso- lute control in the hands of the city au- thorities. This is the plan now on trial in Toronto and in Detroit; and it has been jong erough on trial in the first named city to prove the wisdom of those who carried the plan through against powerful and interested opposition.” ‘This, from the leading exponent of rail- road interests, shows a great drift of opinion from that formerly held by most authorities. The situation In this city 1s not yet serious enough to warrant any de- cided advocacy of one or the other plan, but there are signs that In the near future the District Committees of Congress, act- ing as the sole source of legislation for the local community, will undertake some com- prehensive system of granting and regulat- ing street railway franchises quite differ- ent from the present state of things. There fs a growing disposition on the part of cer- tain of the legislators to require the pay- ment of an annual percentage of the earn~ {mgs of these corporations, as a part pay- ment for the right to occupy the streets. When new companies are to be organized, it is suggested, the franchises should be put up at auction, and sold to the highest bidder, with the preference given, however, all other things being equal, to the existing lines, tf they choose to extend their plants, as being best able to build and maintain the new systems. As an ald to such a scheme the District Commissioners might secure the best available expression of opinion from the citizens of the District, as to the need or the lack of need of new lines im the various sections of the city. ‘They would then be able to present to Con- gress a definite outline of a plan for the extension of the lines, to be followed in the immediate future, or at a time when the population has tncreased to a certain point. The policy is now definitely laid down in the Senate Committee, at least, that there fs little or no need for new lines in the heart of the city, and that such lines ought to be located in the suburbs, and laid and maintained as feeders to the existing lines. THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, JANUARY = 25, 1895—-TWELVE PAGES. to the amount saved through reductions in the department of clerical force has been expended in bringing about the so-called reform for the institution of which Mr. Dockery is responsible. Department offi- cialis are known to hold firmly to the belief that present methods are much more risky than those which. prevailed under the old order of things—which was the result of many years of the most practical sort of experience; safeguards have been removed, and sooner or later the skillfully-fraudulent will succeed in getting out of the Treasury very much more than they are entitled to. It will be an interesting problem to figure out how much gain accrues to the govern- ment by the removal of twenty-five clerks who were earning $1,000 a year each and the employment of one man—who has done no clerical work—at a salary of $25,000. —_++<«_____ Health Officer Woodward has taken a long step in the right direction in his draft of a bill which, if it becomes a law, will give to the District Commissioners power— of which they, strangely enough, are not now in possession—to act In behalf of the public health. The health regulations of the National Capital should be, as a whole, @ model for the regulation of all other American cities, but as matters now are the authorities can only invoke odd frag- trents of law, many of which, should they be subjected to any considerable strain, are likely to prove fatally defective. The bill now being considered by the Commission- ers—and soon to be favorably reported to Congress—gives to the Commissioners au- thority that has every appearance of being ample. The health of the community is a subject in which every resident must sure- ly be deeply interested, and any movement toward the betterment of sanitary condi- ticns will doubtless receive the hearty sup- port of at least all who dwell within the limits of the District of Columbia. — + ¢ = ___ According to the official repert, there were employed upon the city post-office building today seventy-three men—a serious reduction in forcs. Seventy-three hard- werking artisans, no matter how zealous they might be, would find it difficult, it ts believed, to have the buildng ready for pest-office purposes prior to August 17, 1906. ——_ -- + ¢ = There is in Brooklyn a heartless senti- ment to the effect that the public is under no obligation to suffer inconvenience for the mere purpose of assisting the troiley people to economize on the pay-roll. —_ + 0 e Reuben Kolb and Mayor Pingree of De- treit might get some novel and interesting results by exchanging bailiwicks for awhile. ——_—_ + «+ ___. The Mexican students propose to do something to sustain the reputation of the “scholar in politics.” A very vigorous effort will be made to draw the boundary line on Alexander Island. —_ + e+ -—__ The sugar trust is thought to be king low until the present green goods flurry is over. —_____ + + + —___ China is beginning to realize herself what it is to have an excess of foreign popula- ticn, — General Sun of the Chinese army is now taking his chances on a Japanese eclipse. SS SHOOTING STARS. Un: Soon will the fickle, love-lorn youth, Prepare—the naughty churl— To make his last year’s valentine Do for another girl. “Hit sut'ny am s’prizin’, said Uncle There will probably be a steady effort to} Eben, “ter see how much mo’ some ob my force the trunk lines to better their equip- ments, if they have not already done so, and it Is not unlikely that the next step in the line of general street railway legis- lation, in case the provision in the Metro- politan reviving act shall be nullified and rendered ineffective, will be the passage of a law requiring the reciprocal transfer ar- rangements that are so badly needed. But the question of municipal ownership is not to be lst sight of during this period of evolution from the former haphazard sys- tem that prevailed to a modern and com- prehensive plan of tramways. Washington is essentially and will always be a city of surface roads. The elevated structure will probably never find lodgment here. The trolley should never Cable or other mechanical powers will be used and bettered and still further im- proved until Washington has the best street-railway system in the world, and it will then be a pity if the city does not make more out of these franchises than it is making today. One of two ends would be gained by municipal ownership: Either dividends for the community or lower rates of fare for the passengers. ——_ +02 —— So Ieng as wire-tapping was an offense committed by one set of rogues to filch from the pockets of others in the same Iine a share of their immoral gains, the public was not much concerned, but since the misdemeanor has developed into the stealing of news from the wires of a news- gathering and news-distributing assocta- tion by a competitor In the same business, it has achieved considerable prominence. It is rot strange that such dishonesty should be found among the riff-raff always to be found tm some branch or other of the horse-racing and pool-selling business, but {it fs rather surprising that such con- sclenceless conduct should develop in con- nection with the journalistic “profession. To meet misconduct of the sert referred to, Senator Chandler has introduced a bill which provides that conviction of any per- scn who shall “wrongfully. tap or connect a wire with the telegraph or telephone wires of any person, company or associa- tion engaged in the transmission of news” shall be followed by punishment of “a fine of not more than $2,000 or tmprisonment, not exceeding two years, or by both such fine ard imprisonment.” To this measure objection cannot be made by any save those who expect, at some time or other, to be guilty of the offensé indicated. The bil! should beccme a law at an early date. ——___~s+eo__—_ Of all the many tdiotle charges that have been made against those who favor a re- public in Hawaii or are anxfous that the Islands be annexed to the United States, none is quite so silly as the allegation that the Hawailan government has been dis- tributing Hawalian bonds among the New England delegation tn Congress. Partisan cuckoo folly could hardly go much farther. The lack of knowledge shown by these would-be assassins of character Is testified to by their own averment that Hawalian bonds are being sold at a figure which ts 3 per cent of their face value. The lable fact, as shown in another col- umn, is that the only Hawaiian securities ever marketed outside of Hawali were a million bonds negotiated in England nine years ago, and they are listed at 113. ee The response of the retary of the Treasury to the House resolution calling upon him to furnish a statement of ex-| penditures made by and in behalf of the | Dockery commission ts being awaited anx- fously by a good many people who not un- reasonably imagine that the cost of the commission, even up to this time, has been far in excess of its value. It is rumored that the chairman of the commission of ex- perts which has {Investigated and revolu- Uonized the accounting methods of the Treasury received the rather lberal com- Pensation of $25,000 a year, while his two assistants recelved respectively $9,000 and $8,000. If the salary rumors prove to be true it ts not all unlikely that a sum equal neighbors knows "bout runnin’ de guv’ment dan dey does "bout runnin’ dah fahms.” A Universal Truth.

She appears to have Icst almost as much wardrobe as I have.” Enter and Exit. Sweet Spring is due In a month or two To cheer each sylvan spot; ‘The leaves will grow; The grass, also, And the foot ball hair will not. ——___ + «+ ___. The Present Question. From the Cincinnati Enquirer. The present question in relation to Ha- wail is not that of annexation. For the present it is the duty of the government of the United States to hold up the hands of the governing, intelligent and moral class on the Islands, who want to make progress in civilization. The question of annexation comes afterward. —__+++___. A Faint Glimmer of Hope. From the Philadelphia Record.
