6 THE EVENING STAR, FRIDAY, MARCH 8, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. ‘THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY..............--.--March 8, 1895. CROSBY 8. 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. tFIm order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, Ictters to THE STAR should not be nddressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorint or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Everybody wants better and cheaper gas. The consumer is not required to decide whether he is wiliing to bear an increased burden of taxation in order to enjoy this benetit, as he may be compelled to do in sceking an enlarged water supply or better sewers. He mereiy indicates that he pre- fers an improved to an inferior article, and that he prefers to pay less for the superior article than he has been required to pay for the inferior. So unquestionably every Washington consumer votes for bet- ter and cheaper gas. Demonstration of the unanimity of the local desire in this mat- ter, which will convince Congress of the earnestness of the public sentiment, will have due weight with Congress in securing thoughtful consideration of the matter, and the petition movement of the Wash- ington Times, designed to make clear this sentiment, is commendable and promises good results. It is not sufficient, however, to demonstrate that the local consumers want better and cheaper gas. Congress must be convinced that the company can make and ought to make these improve- ments in its product. To this end the in- vestigation and study proposed by the board of trade special committee will, if faithfully pursued, be of great value. If anything Is to be accomplished the advo- cates of the people must be thoroughly in- formed upon every branch of the gas con- troversy, and must be able to convince Con- Gress not only that there is a public de- mand, but that this demand is reasonable and just. The indications now are that it will be many months before the next Con- gress assembles, and before it can consider the city’s appeal, and it seems to The Star that without neglecting preparations to make a suitable showing to the legislature, it might be well if the citizens would in Some way urge the company to announce voluntarily a reduction in the price of its product. Since 1867 it has made «ine such yolun- tary reductions in the price of gas to pri- vate consumers, and only two such re- ductions have been compelled by act of Congress. Another decrease in the price 1s overdue, and the company ought to make {t of its own accord, and reap the benefit in Increased popularity which would fol- low this wise action. It is no adequate an- swer to this request to reply that if exten- sions of plant are viewed as part of the current expenses of gas-making, and if ten per cent dividends on the expanded stock are paid, and if the methods of gas- making now employed are unchanged, the company cannot afford to make this re- duction. Extensions of plant constitute an investm=nt of earnings, increasing the in- come-producing capital, should be deducted from the dividends, if the profits do not suffice to pay both. The urban gas consumer ought not to pay more for his illuminant because the company invests some of its money in extending its Pipes into the suburbs. The stockholder who in the future will reap large returns from such extension should meet the ex- pense of the present and treat it as an in- vestment. It is consequently not a condl- tion precedent that the company shall pay 10 per cent dividends, if it chooses instead to invest its earnings in the development of its plant and the increase of its income- producing capital. Then ‘as to the cost of making the gas itself it is to be considered that this has been gradually cheapening in some other cities through improvements in methods until a low figure has been reached and if it be true that the local com- pany is paying much larger amounts in manufacturing its product than some others, similarly situated, the suggestion is inevitable that our company Is paying too much. —_-- + «= ——___ Nobody should be surprised at the ac- tion of the President in reappointing Post- master Tinsley of Sioux Falls, S. D., after his rejection by the Senate by a very large majority. President Cleveland has more than once before testified his disregard for the Senate, his contempt, even; for the constitutional prerogative of the upper house of the national legislature. There are several cases on record where he has renamed men for public office after con- firmation has not only been denied, but where the names have been deliberately rejected. The local case of Matthews, who vas made recorder of deeds of the Dis- trict after he had been emphatically de- feated by the Senate, has not yet passed out of the minds of men in the District. There will be the usual row over the case next winter, with the usual result, that the Senate wili again reject the name, and perhaps the President will eventually sur- render. ——————_+ + + ____ The action of the Idaho legislature in finally choosing a Senator is to be com- mended, without regard for the politics or personality of the men elected. Deadlocks are demoralizing, and it is to be hoped that never again will the Senate be de- pleted in numbers as it was for nearly two years, as the result of stubborn fights in three'states. The breaks in Washington, Oregon and now ip Idaho should be speed- ily followed by an election in Delaware.

But he promises to make a very interesting oldest inhabitant. ——_>+>—_____ The cry comes from the large cities of the northeast for laws to check the speed of trolley cars. New York, Brooklyn and Philadelphia are clamoring for aid to save them from the dangerous cars that whiz through their streets without check and almost without regulation. The end must come soon; the cars are beginning to kill influential citizens, men whose lives are con- sidered valuable. They no longer discrimin- ate, and the motormen grow more reckless as the corporations become more confident that they own the legislatures as well as the streets. In Philadelphia there is al- most a reign of terror; recently seven trol- ley car ents occurred in one day, and mow the people are beginning to realize what a tremendous burden is upon them. The state board of railroad commissioners of New York has reported on the trolley accidents in Brooklyn and recommends that regulations as to speed should be left to the local authorities, but that such pro- isions should be made as to prevent mozor- fen from being obliged, by reason of a fear @f fines and other penalties for tardiness, to race their cars to regain the schedule. The speed of cars, say the commissioners, ee never exceed four miles an hour at lreet crossings, and motormen should be * examined before appointment as to their habits and intelligence. In Brooklyn the and their cost } mayor has framed such a local ordinance as the board suggests, which he has pre- sented to the board of aldermen, regulating the speed of all trolley cars to six miles an hour within a radius of one mile from the East River bridge, and to speeds vary- ing from that rate to ten miles an hour in the less densely populated sections of the city. Other items of the proposed reguia- tions refer to stopping cars at crossings, etc., and to the occupation of the plat- forms. It seems that the greatest cause for complaint in Philadelphia is the impu- dent indifference to the rights of the pub- lic exhibited not only by the officers of the corporation but by their servants. The motormen and conductors cannot be ex- Pected to show more consideration for the good of human kind than the men who employ them. The Philadelphians declare that the cars are started before passengers have time to alight or embark, and that it is, often impossible for would-be passengers to stop cars at all. This results from the indifference that is born of a monopoly of the ficld. Complaints receive little or no consideration, and the people seem to be helpless. And this ts what Washington might expect if the great Philadelphia-New York-Newark syndicate should ever get its trolley poles thrust inside the city mits. ——_——_ + += —__. The recent statements of Mr. Sayers, chairman of the appropriations committee of the House during the Fifty-third Con- gress, and of Mr. Cannon, chairman of the same committee during the Fifty-first Con- &ress, are interesting to Washingtonians in that they show that there has been a gradual increase of the amount of money put forth from the Treasury for the needs of the country. The fact in itself is en- couraging, without reference to the ques- tion of which party has been the more Hberal or the more extravagant. A reduc- tion of the budgets through a course of years would be one of the most direful of signs; it would presage a shrinkage of national values just as the balance sheet of a great corporation that has begun to go down hill shows a steady decrease in “running expenses.” As regards the Dis- trict there is a pleasing record made, as far as a comparison between the Fifty-sec- ond and Fifty-third Congresses goes. There is an increase in the total of the local appropriations, according to the revised figures, of $560,124.64 over the Fifty-second Congress, yet the total of the Congress just passed falls short of that of the Fifty-first by $75,347.50. It is to be noted that the showing for the District as re- gards the totals of the Congress just ex- pired is not so favorable as was indicated by the figures as they were informally promulgated at the beginning of the week. Of course no safe conclusion either of a greater wise liberality or of greater waste- fulness and extravagance can be derived from a mere comparison of total appro- priations by two Congresses, if considera- tion of the character and purposes of the appropriations is omitted. The real test is not how much was expended, but how the money was expended. Naturally there would be an increase from year to year in the proper expenditures of an expanding and progressive nation, and such an in- crease is not merely defensible but com- mendable, ff the specific {tems of increase are of a character to promote the general welfare, 2 ____ The news from the bedside of Nat Herre- Schoff, the yacht builder, who now lies dangerously ill, is being anxiously read by all true lovers of nautical sport, who feel that much now depends upon him in the coming international races. Without him little more can be done on the racer that is now being built at Bristol, for he has closely kept in his own mind most of those details of the finish of the yacht that will go to make her speed: ——__~+++____ The St. Petersburg notion of reforming tipplers is to display the names of habitual drunkards on public bulletins. The sight of his own name in Russian would prob- ably be enough to reform instantly the average American on a jag. It would be a refreshing change, too, from snakes and spiders and other qucer things. - ——_+ e+ ____ The force at work today on the building across the street from The Star office that will doubtless one‘ day be occupled by the city post office aggregated one hundred and twenty-six men. The date of August 17, 1906, as the time for completion, is yet to be seriously questioned. The senate of th. state of New York has passed a bill to establish the whipping post to punish wife-beaters. There is no offense more contemptible than this one; but noth- ing outside of the legislature’s action indi- cates its existence in the empire state to an extent requiring such radical treatment. —_+ es ____ It is about time for the “‘statesman-out- of-a-job” to invent another catchy title for himself if he proposes to hang on this side of oblivion. ——__+ «+ ____ ‘The sugar trust will now since Congress has adjourned have an opportunity to de- vote some attention to the sugar business. —_—_ + + ____ This is the beatific period in an adminis- tration when there are always enough presidential booms to go ‘round. + +. _____ SHOOTING STARS.

I'm a little superstitious, and it worries me.” “Well, if that’s the case, we can’t suit you any better. The only other vacant room is number 13, and a man committed suicide in it a week ago.” “Gimme it. It ain’t as bad as the one I've got now. It’s number 63, and I wouldn't stay there for $7 a minute.” No other house DOES, EVER DID or EVER WILL sell such STERLING qualities at such LOW prices as WE quote.
