6 THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, MARCH 1, 1895—-TWELVE PAGES. _THE EVENING STAR.. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY..................-Mareh 1, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES................Editor. = THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. toIm order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the eflice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Impelled to change by reasons doubtless satisfactory to the controlling authorities, the management of the Belt Street Rail- road Company proposes to upset its pres- ent fairly satisfactory traffic arrangements Next Monday morning. The changes pro- posed are, of course, favorable to what the company believes to be its financial inter- ests and have not been demanded by the car-patronizing public. Just now it is not easy to see where corporate gain can ac- crue, but it is safe to imagine that the new Proposition looks to a reduction in the number of cars to be run and a correspon- ding reduction in the operating expenses of the road. But whether the movement Is, or is not, short-sightedly economical is a matter of less importance than the fact that under the new order of things there will no longer be a “belt” line; that to make a trip over the route heretofore cov- ered by Belt cars will involve the trouble of making two transfers and the additional expense of an extra fare. Perhaps this is good business policy, but the chances are it is not; that there will develop so much of resentment as will make the change extremely unprofitable—as unprofitable as it will surely be unpopular. Ever since the Belt line was completed it has been cus- tomary for many thousands of men, wo- men and children—particularly children— living in the immediate vicinity of the road, to patronize the company quite ex- tensively during the summer months. Every evening the capacious open curs would be filled with those who in- vested their nickels in securing the fresh air which was invariably to be had by tak- ing a round trip, and one of the incentives to the doing of this was the fact that the entire circuit frem and to the starting point could be made for a single fare. That there will be anything like so much of this business as there has been in sum- mers past is not possible, for a very large percentage of those who cheerfully in- vested the one fare will never dream of investing two, while many of those who could afford to meet the increase will aot do so because of the inconveniences con- sequent upon two transfers. Of course the company will say that it is nobody's busi- ness if what has heretofore been regarded as desirable traflic is discouraged, but even such utterances as that may not satisfy people who live near some part of the Belt road; some of whom may even go to the extreme of insisting that the com- pany’s charter compels it te maintain the belt line, which, under the new order of things, will cease to be. The great trolley syndicate—which owns the Belt road and the Kckington and Soldiers’ Home road— has never yet been accused of rendering the public any other than purely selfish service, but if it proposes to do here as it has done elsewhere in matters as to which the public interest is abiding and sincere, it will awaken adverse sentiment the like of which it has not hitherto been called upon to struggle with; it will discover to its cost that even so great a corporation as it is will be compelled to abide strictly by the contracts made with the people when valuable charter rights were, through fool- ish generosity, simply given away. —___ 2 >__ Our movement toward esthetic perfec- tion is still very deliberate, in spite of the energetic effort of many cultured citizens, but we have at last reached the stage where we are no longer willing to accept as art all the products of all the persons who elect to call themselves and who some- times are artists. The most conspicuous of recent declarations of independence was that of the joint committee of the House and Senate that declined to permit the erec- tion in the Capitol building of a statue of Gen. Grant, presented to the government by the Grand Army of the Republic. It is reasonable to imagine that had the statue even remotely resembled the great general, it would have been accepted, for the com- mittee would naturally be inclined to leok leniently upon a contribution coming from such an honored and patriotic body as the Grand Army; that the figure has been re- jected is therefore sound testimony of the arrival of a brighter day for real art. It would be entirely proper for the joint com- mittee to make the circuit of statuary hall on en iconoclastic mission. When the committee got through wielding their sledge-hammers the number of effigies would probably be reduced, but the ap- pearance of the hall could not be other- wise than considerably improved. A There were one hundred and forty-eight men employed upon the new city post office building today—laying. stone and riveting iron—but there is no promise of completion during the present century. Three years and nine days have passed away since operations were commenced, but progress has been so deliberate that a finished structure is not generally expected prior to August 17, 1906. + e-__ The fact that Mr. -Wilson will assume the duties of his new office on April 1st will be regarded as ominous only by the exces- sively superstitious. —-2 »____—_ It may be news to many people that there is an organization at work in this ecuntry seeking to reduce the divorce evil. Like the mole it has been grubbing un- seen, unheard, at the root of the syscem that threatens one phase of the national life and security. Divorce should be so guarded that it can not be lightly or too easily secured, and so the responsibilities of marriage will be more firmly impressed upon citizens. The work of the National Divorce Reform League, which has just made its fifteenth annual report, is to be commended as one that seeks to strengthen the marriage tie, to protect the home, to reduce the sum total of domestic infelicity, and to increase the average of morality. The lack of the brass-band element in this organization does not detract from its use- fulress. Indeed, this latest report shows that considerable gains have been made by the league during the past two years. The league seeks to secure the enactment of uniform laws for the regulation of di- vorces in all the states and territories of the Union, for it is the very tenable theory of this organization that, under the exist- ing system of government by united states, the strength of the whole will be merely that of the weakest point in the entire chain of the laws. So, while there may be the most satisfactory laws relating to mar- riage divorce in all of the states but one, and a lax, loose law in that one sta:e, there will still be danger ahead for the heme and the state. The experience that has been had in Illinois, the Dakotas and now in Okiahoma shows how absurd it is for anyone to hope for permanent divorce orm as long as such states make high bids for divorce cases by loosening the laws relating to resic and proofs. The constant tide of temporary immigrants into the borders of these new communities may bring brief prosperity to hotel keepers a lawyers and clerks of courts, but the after effects of such proceedings cannot but be hurtful to the state, and surely so to -he | probabilities are on the other side; misguided people who seek the advantages thus offered. In effect this system puts a limit to loose divorce, by barring out from its privileges all but a comparatively Wealthy class, who can afford the expenses. of temporary residence and large counsel fees. It forms a sort of hideous aristocracy of divorce, an upper ten of domestic in- felicity. The remedy is at hand in the propositions of the Divorce Reform League. Improved laws, uniform laws! There may be uni- formity without anything good in the re- sults, for the laws may be uniformly bad. The same is true of excellence in the stat- utes without uniformity, as has been pre- veously pointed out. The results of the work of the past twenty-four months are such as to encourage those who hope for a better condition of things. Nineteen of the states have, in that period, passed acts amendatory of the marriage and divorce laws. All but one or two changes are re- garded by the managers of the league as being in the interest of greater strict- ness. The annual report points out the fact, apparently contradictory of the claims made by the league, that the stream of i- vorce is increasing in voiume in spite of these restrictions, but it says: “Less rapid- jy than it otherwise would, just as the jower Mississippi rises long after the rains in the north begin to decrease. Law checks the flow and keeps it more nearly within proper channels.” It is to be noted that the league does not seek to abolish divorce, but merely to regulate it and to make it less easily obtainable, and so to in- crease the care with which marriages are |’ arranged. Laxity in the divorce laws, the league urges, is little less than licensed |- immorality. Regulation by law is the eniy remedy, and it is sincerely to be hoped that before another tifteen years have gone by the league, compused as it is of some of the best Known divines and legal lights of the east, wiil have accomplished its purpose and ceased to be through a jack of anything more to do. ——— 2-___ Yachtsmea the world over will probably be quite as much interestea in tue compet- Uens which wil result in tie serecuon of tne boat that will represent Asmerica in the Sreat international contest n- tuey will be in the inte itseit. For many years past tue ccaver- board boat has been regarded as tne Ameri- can type, while the Brush idea of me proper tning :n racing crait has been crys- talized into keeis.

American interest in the American yacht will hardly be lessened should we be represented by a keei boat but we may find it a trifle dutcult wo expiain to our transatlantic opponents our adoption of a form of construcuon at which we have sneered quite persistently.
