6 THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, MAROH 27, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY.........,.March 27, 1895. CROSBY 8. NOYES. . Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular a1 permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. Im order to avoid delays, on nec- 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 Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Now that all parties to the controversy concerning the character of the work being put into the new school building in south- east Washington have come together in a determination to sift the matter to the bottom and have cast aside mistaken no- tions of dignity in exchange for an ap- preciating sense of the importance of the case, it is probable that the charges will be thoroughly and satisfactorily investi- gated. It was a good and sensible decision for the Commissioners and the representa- tives of the Federation of Labor to: reach such an agreement. A frank discussion of the case, such as that had yesterday, could not but be greatly to the benefit of the citizens who are most concerned in the question of whether or not this school building is being erected in a safe, stable manner. This is a matter of vital concern to every parent. There should be no ques- tion of the expense of an investigation in a case like this, for it will cost but a few dollars to ascertain with very little delay the exact character of the work being done on the building. The people should thank the Federation of Labor for tht interest shown in the premises, for. being composed of men of technical experience this or any similar organization ts well fitted to be a guardian of the public interest in matters of mechanical construction. It would have been unfortunate indeed if the Commission- ers or the committee from the Federation should have failed to agree upon a course of procedure through a mere lack of a spirit of accommodation toward each other. Offi- celal and personal dignity may well be bent on occasions where the safety of citizens and their children is alleged to be at stake. —_____+ ee .-__ If the excellent plan for the relief of the peor known as the Detroit potato-patch scheme, to which attention has been called frequently in The Star of late, !s to be put in operation in this city for the benefit of the poor next winter no time should be lost in making preparations and in raising the comparatively small fund necessary. An interesting document has reached The Star containing a report recently submitted tn New York by a committee apointed by the charity organization society to investi- gate the feasibility of the project. In this it is stated that work was not begun in De- troit before the middie of June, and this delay embarrassed the effort considerably and probably reduced the total benefits to be derived. This points to the necessity of prompt action if the plan is to receive a local trial. It seems that the entire cost to the committee in charge in Detroit, which was composed of some of the lead- ing citizens of the City of Straits, was only about thirty-six hundred dollars, and from this sum a food supply was obtained that enabled about a thousand families to pass through the winter without having re- course to the poor commission. Five or six times this amount of money is raised every year in Washington by donations from the wealthy people, and little more relief is given than seems to be derived from the potato patches of Detroit in one season. As an economical means of alms- giving the scheme deserves immediate con- sideration by those interested in charity matters. —_+ ++ _____ There are indications that the Mystic Order of Three might now more properly be designated the Mystic Order of Two; that the Order is military in its nature, all of its members being either colonels or majors; and that if it is ever reduced in its membership to one its name will prop- erly become the Mystic Order of St. George. ——> «2 ______— One hundred and six men labored today on the post-office building, being just the same force as yesterday.

In certain localities in the north and east long-distance trolley roads are being con- structed and projected to parallel steam roads which connect small semi-suburban towns with large cities. The traffic along these routes is large and lucrative enough to attract to the field the cheap2r form of everhead electric propulsion which, being inexpensive in establishment and mainten- ance, quickly brings such a competition to bear upon the older and more expensive cctporations that the electric car is almost sure to get the greater part of the local travel and the income from this source. Therefore of the greatest steam rail- road corporations in the country, itseif in- terested to some extent in the question of free right of way through cities, especially in Washington, has persistently fought the right of the trolley roads to the free use of the public thoroughfares in the country districts. The climax of the case has now come in a decision rendered in favor of the steam railroad which is to the effect that while city and borough authorities may grant the use of the public #reets to trol- ley roads, township avthorities have no such power and in consequences a long- distance trolley road which crosses a town- ship in any part of its route cannot law- fuliy be constructed in Pennsylvania with- cut purchase of right of way from private owners. This Is eminently fair and just for it places both forms of locomotion on the same level as regards suburban and rural routes. The cost of a right of way would materially increase the cost of tr tion and would diminish the differer tween the rates that could be afforded by the two methods. This might in & sense operate against the interests of the passen- ger, but it will protect in a greater meas- ure the rights of inhabitants of small tewns and perhaps will pave the way for a wider and more immediate application to city routes of the equity that is evidently the inspiration of this decision. It might be embarrassing for the Pennsylvania Rail- road, which was the aggressive cause of this decision, to be confronted with that principle in Washington by being obliged to pay for its use of the thoroughfares of this city which.{t now occupies at great con- venience to itself and at great jJanger to the citizens and to the detriment of their Property without making the least compen- sation for the privilege. This decision also brings to mind once more the always in- teresting question of the fre distribution of valuable franchises to street railway companies. Probably the safest rule that could be laid down to govern the whole matter would be to make every corporation occupying public space pay for that right. ————__+ ++ ____ The District Commissioners took a plunge into publicity yesterday and so far forgot themselves as to admit the reporters— dangerous fellows—into the chamber of se- erecy to listen to a discussion of a ques- tion of more than passing interest to the taxpayers of the District. A grave charge had been mede against the integrity of the walls designed to enclose a new school. The apprehension of the public had been aroused lest the structure, when completed, might collapse and crush scores of young lives. The arguments of those who ac- cused the work as defective could not be regarded except with the greatest interest by every parent in the city. It is yet to be learned that the presence of the reporters, followed by their faithful record of what happened, did any harm to any person or any interest. Yet it is to be feared that the Commissior ers may now relapse into silence and mystery, drawing into their shell like the snail after it has made a tremendous effort at speed. Indeed the analogy be- tween the Commissioners, in the self-im- posed functions as editors, and the tardy f&astropod has become very marked since they first undertook to furnish the local papers with all official tidings without de- lay. Perhaps the Commissioners have be- come imbued with the semi-tropical idea of soonness; the influence of the land of the manana may have spread even as far as First street. It is indeed a little hard on the snail to make this classification and comparison for it is a trait of that interest- ing mollusk to achieve the end of his jour- ney whatever may be the undertaking. He gets there after awhile. On the other hand there is a reasonable suspicion that the Commissioners, acting as reporters, editors and proof-readers, de not turn out a com- plete list of all the official news. There 1s a strong indication that the blue pencil is wielded with no sparing hand in the sanc- tum sanctorum of the recently-established news shop in the District buildings. In fact the periodical promulgations of facts by the secretary of the board greatly re- semble expurgated editions of famous works, —_——___+ e+—__—__ SHOOTING STARS. The Patent Medicine Ad. Man.

From the Chicago Record. Prof. Bemis doubtless is right in saying in his report to the Civic Federation that the cost of manufacturing gas in Chicago is not more than 50 or 60 cents a thousand feet, and that the gas companies are en- joying exorbitant p-ofits. Prof. Bemis’ in- vestigations on the gas question have been exceedingly thorough, and he speaks with the authority of the impartial specialist. Allowing 55 cents a thousand feet as the actual cost of making the gas, the Chicago companies could sell the product at 75 cents a thousand feet and still make a profit of 20 cents on every thousand feet sold. Calculating on the basis of $3 capital for each thousand feet, the profit to the companies would be about 7 per cent. Where the risk of loss is so slight this rate would be an ample remuneration for the capital invested. That gas could be profitably sold in Chi- cago for 75 cents a thousand feet is shown by the fact that in some parts of the city gas is now furnished for fuel purposes at 72 cents a thousand feet. The difference in price is not caused by any difference in the cost of manufacture, but by the fact that the fuel gas is used chiefly in the daytime, when the consumption would otherwise be very slight, and by the further fact that reauced prices bring about a_greatly in- creased use of gas for fuel. The consum- ers are not so much at the mercy of the gas companies in this case as in tae case of illuminating gas, for fuel gas has not yet become so much of a necessity. The city of Cleveland furnishes another illustration of the possibility of selling gas for 75 cents a thousand feet. The city council attempted to reduce the price to 60 cents, but the company fought the reduc- tion, and secured as a compromise a rate of 80 cents, the company being required to pay the city 6% per cent of its gross re- ceipts. The price of coal is slightly less in Cleveland than in Chicago, but this differ- ence is fully counterbalanced by the greater consumption of gas in Chicago. There should be a material reduction in the price of gas in Chicago. But it is ab- surd to suppose that this reduction can be brought about by the competition caused by the granting of new franchises. Any attempted competition in gas always re- sults, sooner or later, either in consolida- tion or in the division of territory. In the meantime, the enormous waste involved in duplicating the gas works and mains must come out of the pockets of the consumers; so, too, must the cost of buying up new companies which are organized for the pur- pose of levying blackmail on the companies already in existence. Competition in the gas business is practi- cally impossible. But the city of Chicago should insist upon its right of examining the accounts of the companies and regu- iating in some way the prices charged.
