6 THE EVENING STAR. | WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY. --April 3, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES................Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent etreulntion much more than the combined circulation of ‘ the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. C7 Im order to avoid 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 Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. It is likely that if the Commissioners had declared that no fenderless street cars should be allowed to run in the District after the first of April, instead of affixing @ money penalty for non-compliance with their reasonable and necessary order, the rapid transit lines would today be fully equipped. The stoppage of a few cable trains or suburban trolley cars and the subsequent reduction of the revenue would doubtless bring the dilatory companies to terms. This is the third day of April. The order has nut yet been met by compliance from any of the roads. The cars of the Washington and Georgetown system have an angular wheel-guard and those of the Columbia road have a guard that appears to be a trifle better. Neither road has adopted a pick-up fender. Therefore these and other roads are now indebted to the District in the sum of $75 for each car on the schedule. Will the money be collected or will the fine be remitted on the excuse that the companies did not have enough time? The fender question has been agi- tated ever since rapid transit was intro- duced in this city. It has been discussed in the newspapers and in Congress. The com- panies have know’. for many months that sooner or later they must equip their cars with approved styles of life preservers. The Commissioners long ago—Icng enough ago to give enterprising, earnest men every chance to make proper arrangements—laid down the rule in no uncertain language, and today, if appearances count for aught, they might as well have written their order in water or talked it into the alleged aque- duct tuznel. Perhaps things have been said and done under cover of that official secrecy which has prevailed for some weeks at the District building, to the utter disgust of all good citizens, which, if known, would justify the roads in their re- bellious attitude, or the Commissioners in their negligent leniency. But what public evidence of earnestness in the matter is given by either railrcads or Commission- ers? What public guarantee is there to- day that the railways will obey or that the Commissioners will enforce the order? What steps have been taken to compel the roads to comply, or, in the event of per- sistent non-compliance, to mulct them for every penny of the just penalty that at- taches? Inasmuch as Washington is not generally regarded as a city of great business activi- ties, and as there are not many citizens of great wealth, it will probably surprise most readers to learn that the individual deposits in our national banks are exceeded by those of only twelve other cities in the Union. Of course New York stands first im the list, with $202,000,000 on deposit; Boston comes next, with 3101,000,000; Phila- delphia ranks third, with $89,000,000, while Chicago has $66,000,000. Curiously enough, Pittsburg, with considerably less popula- ticn, outranks Baltimore by $7,000,000, the former city having $31,000,000, while the latter has only $24,000,000. Cincinnati and Cleveland, the two leading Ohio cities, tie each other, With $19,000,000 apiece. St. Louis, that used to fondly talk of herself as the rival of Chicago, falls below both the Ohio cities, having only $18,000,000. Mil- waukee and New Orleans have $17,000,000 erd $16,000,000, respectively. Brooklyn comes next, with $14,000,000. Washington shows a deposit of $10,000,000, which is equaled by that of Detroit and Kansas City. Omaha and St. Paul are a tie at 38,000,000, while Minneapolis, which claims to be much more enterprising and prosper- ous than her next door neighbor, has but 37,000,000. But, even more surprising than the creditable showing of Washington, is the poor exhibit made by San Francisco, the commercial and manufacturing em- porlum of the Pacific coast, whose national banks are credited with only $4,000,000. None of the other cities on the Pacific coast is reported as having so much as $000,000, which leads to the inference that théy play a pretty strong bluff financial game out in those regions. —_+ e-_____ It is too bad that Virginia cannot see her way to getting rid of the outlaws who infest the environment of Washington as easily and summarily as she chased Coxey’s army from her sacred soil.

As an initial principle this 13 a good thing, a cheering sign of the times. The final excellence of the result will depend upon the quality of the admin- istration of this principle. The large elty of today that can. successfully remove its municipal bureaus from the local political field has taken a great stride toward good government, while at the same time an in- sincere civil service administration is worse than no ald at all to this end. In this con- nection the remarks of Commissioner Theo- dore Roosevelt, printed elsewhere in The Star, are of unusual interest. Mr. Roose- velt is universally known today as one of the most enthusiastic and intelligent advocates of civil service reform and his share in the administration of the commis- sion in charge of civil service matters in this country has been marked by well- deserved success. Mr. Roosevelt argues with @ logic that should be convincing to every mind that civil service es applied to the Post fics Department and its branches throughout the country is eco- nomical, busineeslike and advantageous in Every respect. There ts no gainsaying his claim thai the people have no direct per- sonal interest or legitimate concern in the political opinions of. the men who handle the mails any more than they can have in the views of their grocerymen or coal dealers on church problems or of the expressman who handles their packages on abstruse principles.of political economy. The postal service is the business depart- ment of the government, and is yearly be- ing run on principles that are more and more businesslike. Men are being chosen and used in this service on a basis of their commercial value, and the time must speedily come when the postmasters them- selves will be regarded in the same light and this great bulk of what is termed pat- ronage will be taken from the gift of the party that chances to be in power. SHOOTING STARS. The Visiting & School Ma’ams. Behold, they come with blossoming spring, With skies that smile and birds that sing; They lend a charm which thrills anew To scenes familiar to the view Of ‘April glories, rot the least Are these fair school ma’ams from the east. They go where science holds her sway Like sunbeams on a holiday, And prehistoric monsters seem To lose their grimness ‘neath the gleam, For live and pulseless; man and beast All greet the school ma’am from the east. Out Done. The crocus sadly drooped its head In presence of such rivalry. “The shoes they’re wearing now,” it said, “Are yellower than I can be.”. Survival of the Fittest. “Well,” said one bacillus to another. “How are you and your human being get- ting along?” y “It’s a pretty close struggle,” was the reply, “as to which of us can hold out the longer under the doctor’s medicine.” A Sugeestion. “You're all the world to me,” he cried, And she, witn gentle mirth And tenderness, said, “Have you told Papa you want the earth?” The Last Word. % “The ostrich is a queer bird,” said Mr. Blykins. “There’s no excuse for its be- having in the way it does. When it sees an enemy coming it sticks its head into the sand instead of running.” “That's its nature,” replied his wife. “I know it. But just the same, it isn’t logical.” “Oh, yes it is, dear.” “How do you make it out?” “It's ornithological.” How, to Succeed. ‘There Is nothing in literature of more im- portance than the mottoes which have guided the footsteps of the great. They are interesting to the public and serve as noble footsteps of the younger generation to highey, better things.

From tho Philadelphia Press. The success of Mayor Pingree’s plan of permitting the poor people in Detroit to cultivate the vacant lots in that city in raising potatoes and vegetables has encouraged its adoption in other cities. New York, St. Louis, Toledo, Buffalo, Pittsburg, Duluth and probably Chicago will make a trial of the scheme and learn whether it is generally applicable or whether its success in Detroit was due to local conditions. If it is found practicable elsewhere it will undoubted- ly do much to aid the poor to help them- selves by bringing into use parcels of land that are row lying idle. The scheme is not wholly a charitable one. It presupposes a disposition on the part of poor people to do the work them- selves, the land being furnished free of charge and prepared for planting, and in some cases the seed being supplied. The experience of Detroit is valuable to those about to make a similar experiment. A committee was appointed last year to take charge of the scheme, offers of the use of vacant lots and plots of land were solicited and notice was given in the newspapers where- applicants for cultivating parcels could register. About 430 acres of land were offered by the owners, and 3,000 families applied for the use of parcels. Only about one-thitd could be accommo- dated, but when the land was plowed, harrowed and staked off into parcels of one-quarter or one-half arce each room was found for 945 families. In assigning plots the committee took care to give each family a parcel as near home as possible, but so eagerly were the offers taken up that plots two miles from home were glad- ly_accepted. The preparation of the ground, the cost of seed for those not able to furnish it and a few other incidental expenses amounted altogether to $3,600, or about $3.45 per plot. Two mounted policemen were detailed to watch the land, and one man was detailed to advise the cultivators and keep them interested in the work. About nine-tenths of the patches were well taken care of and the pilfering was so small as to be hardly noticeable, although the plots were unfenced and the boundaries between the cultivators were in many cases hardly distinguishable. .One draw- back to the scheme was the late date at which it was put in operation, the middle of June having arrived before a step was taken toward putting the idea into prac- tice. Another drawback was a severe arouth, which continued nine weeks and discouraged many of the cultivators and diminished the size of the crop raised. But, notwithstanding these drawbacks, the aggregate value of the crops produced is estimated at $12,000 or $14,000, the average yield of potatoes to each family being 15 1-3 bushels. This is a brief summary of the incep- tion, method and result of this scheme, which has attracted much attention throughout the country. One of the facts demonstrated to the satisfaction of the cormmittee having the experiment in charge is that the great majority of the unemploy- ed poor are willing to work and aid them- selves if given the opportunity. Mayor Pingree estimates the number at 97’ r-2 per cent of the total unemployed. It must be remembered, however, that the severe business depression has thrown out of employment a much better class of work- men than are usually found among the idle, indicating that this scheme will work better in emergencies than as a regular source of relief. But the facts that so many were found eager to assist them- selves and that they did the work well and without compulsion are encouraging. But perhaps the most noticeable result of the scheme is that it has drawn the at- tention of many poor people in the city to the desirableness of country life. They naturally argue that since they were able to do so well on a quarter or half an acre they can make a comfortable living on a few acres. Mr. F. B. Dickerson, superin- tendent of the poor in Detroit, asserts that over 100 poor families formerly living in that city have sought and found homes in the country as a result of last year’s potato ‘planting scheme. This result alone would justify 2 trial of the plan elsewhere and its continuance in Detroit. If it served only as a school to teach the unemployed poor in citles how much better their lot would be in the country the scheme would pay. And when taken tn connection with the temporary relief it gives to deserving persons further trials of this potato plant- ing-scheme become doubly desirable.
