The House cf mipdaauaiibaas yesterday agreed to extend for one year from the first day of July next the trolley pole and overhead wire privilege which the Ecking- ton and Soldiers’ Home Railroad Company has and exercises on New York avenue. ‘The Hovse took this action because it was represented to it that the company ts en- gaged in putting down an underground electric system, but could not do so prior to the day on which the privilege was reasonably expected to.expire. To char- acterize the plea as remarkably thin is to be magnanimous. The company has been experimenting for some time with an un- derground electric system tat seems to have met with its approval, and that dees rot require a deep conduit and a long Feriod of construction work, and it has been authorized to equip and operate its roads with this new motor; if it is sincere it can compiete the work of reform within the city limits on the New York avenue route without any serious difficulty and without requiring a twelve-months’ exten- sion. The corporation is one of the wealth- jest in the country, and if it should be argued that it has not acquired any of its wealth in this city it can be rejoined quite successfully that up to this time the com- pany has made only little effort to place itself in accord with public sentiment; it has equipped its lines with cars of the test quality, but by its persistent effort in behalf of forcing upon this community the overhead trolley it forfelted the com- mendation which was its due. Then there has been failure as to contracts made with the public when the New York avenue road was instailed. It was promised that the line should be the very best of its kind in existence; that the smooth surface of the avenue should be practically unbroken from curb to curb; that the broad high- way, which had practically been presented to the corporation, would be brilliantly illuminated by clusters of incandescent lights located beneath a reflecting hood at the top of each trolley pole. The cobble- stone ridges between the tracks and the nightly darkness of New York avenue testify to the company’s bad faith. Its schedules of running cars are also not designed to please the public. Had this ccerporation done what it should have done —had it evinced any desire to be in accord with public sentiment—there might be popular disposition to help it out of a situa- ticn which it pronounces disagreeable, but inasmuch as the company has reached for everything in sight without any apparent regard for the rights that some other peo- ple undoubtedly have, it is but reasonable to hope that the Senate will decline to agree to the extension amendment adopted by the House, unless a very much stronger showing is made of necessity for this post- penement of obedience to the congressional ecmmand of a change of motive power, made several years ago. ——_ ee Mayor Strong's New York appointments indicate that he fs earnestly striving to do that which he was elected to do, in the direction of giving that city better gov- ernment. From the anti-Tammany demo- crats, who helped to make up the regorm majority which elected him, he has chosen as corporation counsel an able lawyer, with a@ creditable record in municipal aiairs. From the reform element among the repub- licans he selects a strong and popular man as commissioner of public works. And he gives to the independents control of the civil-service board, selecting for this board mer of capacity, who are also sincere civil- service refurmers. The result in the recent New York city election was a protest not only against Tammany, but against “boss- fsm™ and partisan machine despotism in general. Mayor Strong has recognized this fact by resisting the efforts of the republi- can state machine to convert the victory into a triumph for itself and to dictate the city appointments. New York city did not declare in November merely for a change from Tammany to machine republi- can bosses. By pursuing the policy upon which he has entered Mayor Strong prom- ises not only to fulfill his pledge of giving a cleaner and more efficient government to New York, but also to play wisely the game of good politics by holding together the forces which rendered possible the recent anti-Tammany victory. Those who are opposed to the supremacy of Tammany in the metropolis, and to its control, re- sulting therefrom, of the electoral vote of New York, and to its consequent power as an element to be considered in all national elections, will be pleased that the anti- Tammany workers and good citizens in New York city are to be bound together and organized more and more closely to the end that the threatened restoration of Tammany to power may be indefinitely postponed. This result will mean, for the reasons indicated, not only a continuation of better government for New York city, but also better government for New York state and for the nation. ——— + 0«+ ___ There were forty-seven men employed on the city post-oilice building today. Forty- seven busy men could make a good deal of an impression on a small two-story house, but the number ts practically lost in the great post-office skeleton.

Looking at the 1m 1 the standpoint of t desire it is to encour Spirit of the Times is “this Invariably fatal issue of wint ing is to be revived at Baltimore through the proposed running meeting at Arling- Blame fs laid almost entirely upon nulders of George Engeman, who, through his claims to the doing of great gcod by the disbursement of money for wages, carned in this region the title of “Philanthropist Engeman,” The journalis- tic critic says: aid by papers what of ki pressed i ner ir DP “It Is net toc much to say that Geo. Engeman has contributed more to the jownfall of racing in the est than any individual. From the ma. iays of the Clifton track to : yresent almost every single one of Geo, Engeman’s acts has been detrimental to racing. Last winter, at Ivy City, Wash- ington, in the face of a strong public senti- ment, Geo. Engeman persisted in carry- ing on his meeting until the authorities finally adopted such measures as will most likely prevent in the future racing of any kind, good, bad or indifferent, in the Dis- trict of Columbia.” And after calling attention to the fact that Engeman poses as the friend of the poor owner, avers that Engeman “is no more the friend of the poor owner than is the labor agitator the friend of the work- ingman. It is high time the poor man should begin to discern that the man who puts a penny in his pocket today and takes out a dollar tomorrow is not a desirable sort of friend.” It is very refreshing to find so much of outspoken honesty in a newspaper devoted mainly to the chronicles of horse racing. It is pleasant to have such an authority call upon the public and the press generally to combat every at- tempt at winter racing. It is remarkable that it should be compelled to ask such a question—referring to reputable racing as- soications—as: “Why should such organizations be jeop- ardized by « parcel of outside gamblers, whese sole and exclusive aim is to make what little money they may out of the gambling instincts of the lowest elements of the community ——_~++=—__——__.. A movement that should not be permitted to cease until it has gone through every city in the United States took practical shape today in Brookiyn when representa- tives of the master builders’ association and of the labor organizations in the build- ing trades met for the purpose ef forming @ permanent board of arbitration. Brook- lyn seems to have had enough of strikes; of which during the past ten years it has had so many that all the interests involved are heartily tired of trying to settle differ- ences by the use of methods calculated to provoke rather than allay strife. Not once in a hundred times do the men who strike succeed in getting the advance in wages or the reduction in the hours of labor which they deem desirable, while for the employer there must necessarily be considerable financial loss; then, too, there ts rapid breeding of lawless feeling and, frequently, vicious assault upon wisely framed stat- utes. There will be much of lasting honor fer those who succeed in inaugurating the era in which the strike will be an unknown quantity. —_——__ + «=| —__.
