THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY.......February 20, 1895. Editoi OYES. CROSBY 8. N THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than © combined circulation of the her Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. trim order to aveid delays, on ac- tters to ssed to any individ connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ding to tenor or purpose. Responses to the opportunity afforded by “The Star to petition Congress for such leg- fslation as is needed to make effective the proposition to raise the height of the Great Falls dam and thus increase the steadily- weakening water pressure are coming into ‘The Star office in a steady stream, the ywolume of which will doubtless increase considerably by tomorrow. Naturally, those who suffer most from the shortage are the most deeply interested, but the petition should not be the work merely of those who at this time have reasonable ground for complaint; there should be a display of practical sympathy by the more fortunate. residents, for unless there is now a general putting of shoulders to the wheel there will be widespread lamentation during the com- ing summer and ofher summers that will follow it. With the growth of the city there can only come increased consumption of the most necessary of liquids, and unless there is at least corresponding increase in the supply a distressing shortage must imevitably ensue. It is difficult to imagine how controversy could possibly arise a3 to the means by which it is proposed to meet the great public need. There is, however, disagreement between the House and Sen- ate; the former declaring in favor of the speediest possible raising of the dam, while the latter has concluded that a ten-thou- sand-dollar investigation would be much better. During this week the conference committee of the two houses will meet for the purpose of achieving harmony that shail result in an appropriation law. To emphasize the arguments that have been made in favor of the raising of the dam it is deemed wise to have the residents of Washington join in a petition to Congress. The Star provides the blank form of the memorial and wili see to it that the prayer- ful agitation reaches those for whose con- sideration it is intended. The opera- tion is, so far as each individual petitioner ig concerned, a very simple one. There should be no delay in sending the petitions to The Star office. —____ + +-___ When a friend of the Eekington and Sol- d@iers’ Homé Kailway Company last week asked the House of Representatives to ex- tend for one year the period during which the company may maintain poles and over- head wires on New York avenue from 7th street to Boundary, the statement was made that such an extension would be en- tirely proper because the confpany was en- gaged in preparing to operate its roads with a motor that has every appearance of being unobjectionable. At that time it did not appear to those who were even but slightly acquainted with the situation that the company needed twelve months trom the first day of July next In which to work out the reform needed on New York avenue, and this view of the case has the support of the company itself—developed in a letter sent to the District Commissioners by the vice president and general manager of the company. This particular letter was writ- ten for the purpose of reassuring the Dis- trict authorities as to the new motor, in which, although it has been in operation on North Capitol street for several months, at least one of the District Commissioners had but a moderate cmount of faith. Both the Eckington Company and the company eontrolling the magnetic motor which it has adopted appear to be thoroughly satisfied with their new substitute for the overhead trolley, and they have put on record evi- dence that completely overthrows all argu- ment in favor of the continuous obstruc- tion offered by the poles and wires on New York avenue. The motor company claims to be able to install five miles of double track construction and have {t in working order within one hundred days from. the day of the order; it will guarantee to do this. From 7th street to Florida avenue along the Eckington route is about one mile, so it 1s quite reasonable to believe that a change could be made from over- head trolley to electro-magnetic traction in thirty or forty days; the whole line from 7th strect to Brookland could be refitted im seventy or eighty days. The first day of July—after which there must be no more of overhead trolley on New York avenue— will not be here for one hundred and thirty days, of which one hundred and eleven will be days on which the company may do its motor-reforming work without breaking the Sabbath. If tt is sincere in its declaration as to installing the new system, the com- pany will at once proceed to carry out its expressed Intent, and cease to worry Con- gress in behalf of longer life for the dis- credited and soon-to-be entirely illegal equipment on New York avenue. en — There were seventy-six men at work on the new city post-office building today. Most of them undoubtedly did their best to push construction onward and upward, but the slimness of numbers prevented any marked advance. Three years have elapsed since operations commenced, yet the third- story framework ts still incomplete. The estimate that names August 17, 1900, as the probable date on which the post-office au- thorities will take possession has every ap- pearance of liberality. +e Of course there are a great many mem- ers of the populist party who are just as honest as mere mortals possibly gan be, but it will have to be admitted, even by popu- ists themselves, that the moral structure of a populist legislature is about as flimsy a@s a moral structure can be be and yet con- tinue to have a shadowy sort of existence. This was first made apparent when Ne- braska indulged in the expensive luxury of @ legislature in which the old political par- tles were but meagerly represented. When the sesston came to a close the populist ma- |; jority concluded that the state ought not to be burdened with the care of any ma- terial that could be removed from the state capitol without the aid of a derrick so a very large proportion of the self-constituted and loudly-proclaimed guardians of public purse took possesion of and trans- | perted to their respective homes all the plain and fancy stationery within reach, every porcelain and hammered brass cus- pidor in the building, a large and varied assortment of chairs, while one business- like “pop” from the northwest corner of the state was credited with abducting an uncpened bundle containing a dozen long treoms. In fact the “looting” of the build- ing was about as complete ag that carried aut by our famous “Feather Duster Legis- lature’ when ft retired from office. It was supposed that the Nebraska popu- ists were of an uncommon sort, but later exepriences with other subdivisions of the same party tend to confirm an impression tat there had either been neglect in the early training of quite a number of promi- nent populists or else that these same. men the |' HE EVENING. STAR, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 195-TWELVE PAGES: = had backslidden at a high rate of speed. ‘The latest accusation of: dishonesty of the sert referred to comes from Denver; a newspaper published in that city declaring | that the populist state officers looted the capitol building from cellar to garret. Among the missing articles are many valu- able pieces of furniture but the larcenious operations were not confined to mere chairs and tables; the absent property includes all the stationery, many electric light globes, g=s and electric light fixtures, rugs, clocks, marble mantelpieces, desks, couches, grates, pictures, tools, cuspidors and a great many things that would hardly seem to be worth while taking away. But @ day or so since two detectives traced the theft and sale of carpet that had been pur- chased for the state at a cost of $700. It would naturally be supposed that populist cfficials—-who claim to be much more thoughtful as to public rights and more careful of public funds than any. of their political rivals—would be more modest in their appropriation of material in which they have but very minute personal prop-- erty-interest, but experience—that expen- sive but never-failing teacher—tells another stery. There would doubtless be general @pprectation just now of a comprehensive and thoroughly-scientific essay on “The Irfluences of Populism on the Moral Serse.” = ——___+ «+ —____ It is curious to note the utter failure of the machine politiclans of New York to eppreciate the unassailable fact that the victory which was achieved at the polls in New York city last November was the suc- cess of decency and not of any political party. The truth as to the situation has often been made plain, but in spite of fre- quent publication and more or less lengthy discussion the machine crowd continue to ery alond for what they deem to be their share of the spoils. According to the rtatis- tics of these hungry politicians Mayor Strong has turned over to fellow republicans offices paying an annual aggregate of only 323,300, while to democrats who assisted his election the total salaries so far awarded foot up $33,400; a smaller amount. has been distributed among those who are not mem- bers of the pronounced political organiza- tions. With theso figures as a basis, the spoilsmen have built up an argument in which fs the allegation that Mayor Strong has dealt unfairly by some of those who gave him material aid last fall. Not a word is sald as to the true eligibility of the candi- dates of the warring factions; not the slightest consideration {s given to the fit- ness of the employes or would-be employes; the discussion seems to deal with nothing else but what the practical politicians term “a fair division” of the spoils. Of course, it is too much to expect that municipal reform. will reach perfection as the result of one or two or even half a dozen cam- paigns, but it does scem as though the time had arrived when squarely business- like administration of a city’s affairs should be the rule and not the exception. 20 The English people object to the prices charged by musical artists, but somehow do not consider the price they are paying ennually for an occasional short essay on public affairs from Queen Victoria at all exorbitant. ‘The modesty which prompted the anony- mous gift of $100,000 to Barnard College is surpassed only by the reticence of the authors of certain benefactions to the Sugar Trust: ——_____+ ¢ = ____- It 1s not clear whether President Cleve- land definitely intends to re-invest Senator Hill with ,the decoration of the yellow presidential nomination. * ——___ + + = ____ The Khedive’s mother is understood to be in favor of the Egyptian royal family’s availing itself of the next excursion to Sioux Falls. —_—___ e+ --—____ New York's attention is pretty thoroughly engaged at present with Mr. Strong’s ap- pointments and Mr. Platt's disappoint- ments. —__ + —___ Hawaii hopes that the cable will prove the clew to conduct her out of the political labyrinth. . —__+ += —____ Liliuokalani presents one of the most complete and remarkable cases of reform on record. —__2+___ SHOOTING STARS.
