THE EVENING STAR, SATURDAY, MARCH 9, THE EVENING WASHINGTON. SATURDAY... March 9, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. Edito: 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 Mediam it has no cumpetitor. cIln order to 2 dl delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Busincss Depart- menin, nceording to tenor or purpose. "May ther tinstaever! camel whens wastitg ton shall be confronted with the tenement house problem that is just now proving a serious matter in New York. In all very large communities there inevitably develcp certain quavters where the poor congre- gate in great numbers, and the tendency is always fo: them to huddle together in barracks for the sake of apparent econ- omy. It is, to be sure, a false economy for the community to permit this over- crowding, as well as for the tenant to en- danger his life and health by submitting to the terrible conditions that prevail in a great majority of city tenements. As long as there is plenty of space, ground rents cannot rise to the point where large tene- Tents become necessary in the minds of speculators. Washington's present building regulations prohibit the erection of very high structures, and there is no likelihood that the poor population of the District will ever grow to such proportions as to render crowded tenements essential, if indeed they can ever be so regarded. Yet there is here pre-ent a danger that must not be over- looked, and which, in view of the character of a sreat proportion of the local popula- ticn, is specially serfous. The alleys of the city are to be watched with great care, lest they become a menace to public health. Already overcrowded as they are with loosely living people, they are nuisances to the better classes of quiet citizens who dwell on the outer edges of the -squares. Stricter regulations are even now needed to prevent too mzny of these small houses from being bullt in the rear of better resi- dences, but most of alk to reduce the num- ber of families in each house td a reason- able limit which will ensure at least some Precautions against unsanitary conditions. The physical and moral health of the com- munity is endangered by these colonies when they grow beyond a certain point. The recent experience with the small- Pox outbreak, during which the alleys and alley streets prouuced a great majority of the cases recorded, shows the need of a rigid inquiry into the alley house problem which is here quite as important as that of the tenement elsewhere. ee The student of the problem of street transportation will find much of interest in the article reprinted in The Star today from the Review of Reviews descriptive of the operation of the underground electric roed that for five years has proved a me- chanical as well as financial ‘success in the city of Buda-Pesth, Hungary. In this article it is shown that the European com- pany has made an average profit of § per cent, and on this basis it is calculated that a similar enterprise in an American city such as Brooklyn would derive an annual profit of 25 per cent. To be sure, 8 per cent is a small return compared with the greedy ex- pectations of the managers of the cheap and dangerous overhead trolley system. Experience has shown that the under; ground system of electric propulsion is more than feasible; that it is safe, effective and profitable. In Buda-Pesth the system is operated on a long and important line, which will soon be duplicated by ‘a rival company. This, perhaps, is the best test of sucress. In this city there is now in ex- cellent operation a shorter underground electric line, using another device, but with the same good results that have been ob- tained in Hungary. Indeed, the local system is in some respects an improvement upon that of Buda-Pesth. There is no longer any truth in the claim that the overhead trolley is the only practicable system of electric propulsion. ——__+ e+ It was worse than foily for Congress to adjourn without providing work enough for the naval gun foundry in this city to last throughout the coming winter. Secretary Herbert estimates that all the work now authorized will be completed by the first of next September, and that without further legislation he will be obliged to shut down the shops and permit the force of civilians now employed there to disperse. There is Plenty of work that can be done, and, more.than this, that ought to be done. The batteries for the auxiliary cruisers should be prepared without delay, and indeed it’is a short-sighted policy for the government to depend upon a single equipment of ord- nance for the navy. This excellent staff of mechanics once scattered it will take many months if not years to fill, acceptably, their places. The commercial enterprises of the country will not be long in absorbing them. —___+ +e _____ It is hard to keep a fad from reaching every phase of life. Trilby has already permeated literature, the stage, society, charity and even domestic Ife, and it only remains for her to get into politics. That she has started in that direction is in- dicated by the announcement that she is now the god-mother of a village in the Louisiana swamps. Soon the postal guide will be full of Trilbys and mayhap Sven- galls, and there is no telling where It will all end. Verily the world is little else than a@ great flock of sheep. —————~+s__ The impression largely prevails through- out the United States that Washington fills its commercial coffers each winter with money lavishly spent by Congressmen and the visitors uttracted by their deliberations, and exists the rest of the year upon the accretions thus obtained. That this idea is erroneous everyone famillar with the present city is well aware. We know that while Congress and its followers spend a certain amount of money here, just as any Zther two thousand strangers would in auy other city, it is still far from correct to assume that the money scattered here in this way exerts any great eifect upon the commercial prosperity of the commun- dy. In the old days when the capital was a stragsling village-like aggregation of an- pretentious private buildings strung out betw the magnificent piles of marble and granite that contain the government workshops the presence of Congress was very appreciably felt in the mercantile por- tion of the city, but when its boundaries «became distended with a large population of the @ permanent character the sessions cf ional legislature became mere epl- sodes so far as its business life was con- cert pleasant and ie to be sure, but far from being ne ry to the steady and rapid advancement of the wealth and permanent prosperity of the city. The number of persons added to the population here by the presence of Congress in the er has been given as two thousand. less than the true ty of this number residents of other towns and cities all their intere. ite and where it is to their interest to make their subst tial purehases. Consequently their exp ile here are almost wholly con- ctual living and the meeting ‘ities that may arise. Few the local mercantile cs- ts to any great extent. Details in support of this statement could be easily Continued at great length, but this is un- This is more rather th: figure. ere The large maj necessary. Enough has been said to ac- quaint the sensible man or woman of tke error of supposing that the coming of Con- gress means the opening of the purse of Fortunatus for Washington and a prodigal flow of its miraculous wealth into our busi- ness exchequer. The fact is, Washington is a great metropolitan city, containing a Permanent population of over 270,000 peo- pie including twenty or thirty thousand of paid employes who receive their sal- aries twice in each month and who thus assure a permanent and regular monetary circulation that nothing can affect. Panic in the market, depression of business and strikes growing out of labor dissatisfac- tions’ may seriously affect the business prosperity of every cther city in the Union at bet a moment's notice, but the city of Washington cannot be injured in this way. About $2,000,000 per month*is put into cir- eulation here by the department clerks alone, while twice as much more is added from the numerous private enterpfises car- ried on in Washington. It is easy to per- ceive therefore how unwise it is for per- sons to hold to the belief that Washingion dies when Congress adjourns. The real buyers who support the industries of Washington never desert the city, save, perhaps, fer a short time in the hot sea- son, und our business men who know ard appreciate the value of advertising know and appreciate as well the fact that the persons who read and subsiantially interest themselves in such announcements are with them all the time regardless of the presence or absence of Congress. Another popular error has it that Con- gress is the orb around which Washing- ton society revolves. The fact is that most of the fine entertainments given here dur- ing the season and upon which such large amounts of money are expended are given by the people who reside here permanently. Private citizens, government officials who are always here and whose places are gen- erally filled by others of equal importance and wealth when a change occurs and for- eign ministers who are subject to the same sort of official rotation are the people who hold the handsome entertainments and functions. —___+ ++_—__ Prompt justice like that shown in the trial of Harry Hayward which was conclud- ed yesterday afternoon by the rendition of a verdict of guilty may go far toward dis- couraging such crimes as that of which Hayward has just been convicted. Much has been gained, too, by this trial and con- viction so soon after the discovery of the crime, while the events of the murder are still reasonably fresh in the minds of the public. Great injury doubtless results from delays in such cases; as long as capital punishment is regarded as a necessary remedy for this greatest of evils, every effort should be made to reduce to a mini- mum the time between the crime and its punishment. The inevitability of the law should be demonstrated at every possible stage of proceeding. Such panishment can- not be the strong deterrent that it is in- tended to be if made uncertain and tardy, for the trial of a man of the intelligence of Harry Hayward for murder is a com- paratively rare occurrence and a great ma- jority of the victims of the law are of low intelligence and moral fecling. The aver- age criminal, coming from this class, can- not be greatly impressed by the terrible nature of the punishment if it is so long separated from the act that causes It as to become a remote and doubtful and not a necessary and speedy result. The trial of Claus Blixt will be watched with some in- terest, not only from the fact that he has practically entered the plea of hypnotism as a defense, but also for his participation in the trial of Hayward as a witness for the prosecution. It is seldom that a seif- confessed criminal who is used as a wit- ness against an accomplice is given the extreme penalty of the law, but the re- velting nature of the crime under consid- ration is such as to make it doubtful if any good end will be served by lenlency in this case. ——__+ ++ --___ Nearly a week has now passed since the new schedules were put into effect on the so-called “Belt line” railroad in this city, and it is yet to be learned that the patrons of the road are any better pleased with the new system than they were at ¢he be- ginning of the week. On the contrary, the inconveniences and discomforts of the latest device to restrict travel for one fare are becoming more upparent, and more interest is now had in the question that was raised a few days ago as to whether the company has a shadow of right jnder its charter to charge two fares for a continuous ride cver any of its lines or connections. Mean- while the company continues to sell books of tickets at the legal rate of six for twenty-five cents in the name of the “Belt Railway Company,” a thing which the cor- poration may yet be in law, but which it has now ceased to be in fact. It is not to be doubted that the right of the company to inaugurate the new system will soon be tested by an appeal to the legal authorities of the District by some indignant patron. —___+ ++ — Word comes from the Kings county peni- tentiary, Brooklyn, that Bookkeeper Samuel C. Seely, now serving a sentence of eight years for stealing from the Shoe and Leather Bank, has been set to work at his old business in charge of a set of books to keep tab on the other convicts who are en- gaged in sorting curled hair. This is an economical utilization of a special knowl- edge, but Seely should be carefully kept from the temptation to furnish curled hair to outsiders by tampering with the ledgers, —_—_~+-+___. President Lewis, of one of Brooklyn's trolley companies, says he doesn’t want to reduce the speed of his cars, but, humane man that he is, he 's he has no desire that-{innocent children should be slaught- ered by the Juggernauts he ts running. So he has a great and luminous plan, which is to keep all the children out of the streets through which his cars run. He would like to shift the responsibility for their death upon the pcor parents who are obliged to live in the crowded streets, GY by his cars. —_-+__ e«_____ Lord Rosebery is not desirous of retain- ing his official position. There is of late a@ remarkably widespread sentiment of this sort among eminent men, although there is no reason to fear that the supply of office-holding material will not meet the demand for several months to come. ——~e+__- There were eighty-three men at work to- day on the post office building, which was begun three years and seventeen Jays ago. So far the belief that the building will not be ready for use before August 17, 1906, is unshaken. ee The report that the President got only sixteen ducks in one day would indicate that the functionary whose duty it is to furnish information of the trip is either a very modest or a very inexperienced Nim- rod. ——__+0+ —--__ The private secretary of the President of France announces by cable that the name of his employer is pronounced as though it were spelled ‘“Fellix Fore.” This takes a great load from the American mind. ———_—_+ o---___ Harry Hayward's bet of $10 that he would b2 acquitted of the charge of murder showed bad taste and bad judgment in about equal proportions. > ee —___ Central America is sparing netther energy nor skill in making a small amount of war cloud cover a large amount of territory. ——— +02 Mr. Platt will make an effort to see that Mayor Strong’s reform is not hereafier conducted without outside interference. THE WEEK. After a continuous session of forty-eight hours, interrupted by an occasional recess, the flags above tne Capitol were lowered at noon on Monday, and the Fifty-third Con- gress ended.

The eleventh ses- sion of the Baltimore annual conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church was be- gun in that city. W. C. Coup, the well- known circus manager, died of pneumonia in Jacksonville. Foreign. The Japanese captured the city and treaty port of New Chwang, on the Gulf of Pechili, after a desperate fight with tne Chinese. Viceroy Li Hung Chang’s creden- tials have been accepted by Japan, and, ac- ccmpanied by Mr. John W. Fostcr, the American adviser of the Chinese, he has started for the Japanese capital. Emperor William drove the first rivet into the keel plate of a new warship to be constructed at Wilhelmshaven.

The Emperor of Japan for- mally executed the ratification of the treaty with the United States. The czar has abolished the use of the knout for of- fenses committed by the peasantry. In the Spanish chamber of deputies the minister of foreign affairs stated in answer to an inquiry, that three Amer- icans had been arrested in Havana, aud that the Spanish-American protocul o1 1877 afforded no protection to Americans who conspired against the government of Cuba. John Morley, chief secretary {or Treland, introduced in the house of com- mons the new Irish land bill, and it passed its first reading without a division The procession of yachts on the Mediterranean was a magnificent spectacle. There were five erican vessels in_line. The new cutter Ailsa beat the Prince of WAles’ yacht Britannia in a thirty-mile race at Cannes by one minute twenty-four sec- onds. Interest was attached to the event fer the reason that it was thought that the Ailsa might be sent over instead of the Valkyrie to race for the America’s cup if she showed herself the fastest English yacht. Sir Henry Creswicke Rawlinson, Bart., G. C. B., the first interpreter of the cuneiform inscriptions at Babylon and Nineveh, and at one time president of the Royal Geographical Society, died in Lon- don at the age of eighty-five years.

The day following the adjournment of Congress the President left the city for a hunting trip on the Carolina coast. Charles Lanman, writer and artist, died Monday at his resi- dence in this city. There is considerable complaint among the patrons of the Belt line road in regard to the changes made in running the cars and the new system of transfers.
