THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. OROSBY 8. NOYRS..,,..... THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much ore tham the combined circulation the other Washington dailies. As a Sews and Advertising Medium it has mo competitor. ia to any individual connected with the Office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Eéditerial or Business Depart- Confronted by a strong public opinion, and brought face to face with the law, the Officials of the Belt Railroad Company have at last abandoned their efforts to use the streets for the stabling of horses, and have entered into an arrangement that at least reduces the evil of which complaint has been made. The horses being kept inside @ yard, and the change being made in quick time, the annoyance appears to have been reduced to a minimum, although it yet remains to be seen whether the resi- dents in the neighborhood that has now been selected for this operation will object to the use of that locality. The Belt Com- pany is now paying for a privilege that it sought to obtain from the public for noth- ing. Assuming that it has the right to alter its schedule and to cease to become a belt road (though the assumption is un- warranted), it is apparently necessary for the change of horses to be made somewhere on the line. Until the courts can decide whether the present transfer system-is a violation of the charter of the road, the tolerated changes of horses elsewhere than at the stables should be so arranged that the public rights and the comforts of in- dividuals shall be abridged as little as pos- sible. The interview with the generaf fanager of the road, printed elsewhere in The Star, brings to light some interesting matters bearing upon the question of motive power. The Belt road is known to be a part of a great syndicate of roads operated in east- ern cities, most of them by. the over-head trolley, 1d many of them at great profit to their stockholders. The local representa- tives of this combination have been openly seeking trolley privileges for scme time, and have been balked at every turn. The words of the general manager now seem to indicate that these repeated defeats have had the effect of changing their intentions. To accept defeat as gracefully as has been done in the case of the open-air stables would now be a fitting part for these roads to play. To bow to the inevitable and to adopt some sensible and unobjectionable plan of rapid transit, to. cease to chase the evasive, unreachable trolley, is the part of wisdom. Paralieled by two rapid transit lines, this Belt road cannot hope to live long as a horse-car line. There is ground for reasonable hope, in view of Mr. Schoepf’s words, that a satisfactory ending : of the long struggle over street-car motive power at the capital Is close at hand. ——__+ += —___ When it was first intimated that Theo- dore Rapsevelt had been asked by Mayor Strong to become a member of the board of police commissicners of New York city, there was no serious expectation, in this vicinity at least, that Mr. Roose- velt would resign his office as United States Civil Service Commissioner and ac- cept Mayor Strong’s proffer; now it ap- Pears certain that the call to duty in Gotham will be heeded. The influences that have moved Mr. Koosevelt to forsake offi- cially the broad field of national reform that he might work in the comparatively restricted area of municipal New York must have been powerful; nothing less than @ strong sense of duty could possibly call him away,while there is so much for the Civil Service Commission to do. There is, to be sure, ample room for reform in the New York police department, and it is un- doubtedly important not only to New York city but also to the entire couatry—whose gateway New York is—that the police of the big city should be of the best possible quality, but it does seem too bad that the pace of national reform must be affected because there is disorganization in New York. The transfer of Mr. Roosevelt from Washington to New York will not, how- ever, lessen his interest in the broad propo- sition in behalf of which he has here toiled so persistently and yo successfully; oppor- tunities to do good outside of the sphere of @ police commissioner will not be likely to suffer neglect, but it is unfortunately certain that they cannot receive the at- tention which wouid certainly be given to them did Mr. Roosevelt contempiate re- maining in the position which he is now about to relinquish. Who will succeed to the vacancy ro soon to be created is, of course, merely conjectural; he may be a very good man and a very determined ‘friend of civil service reform, but he is hardly likely to eclipse the record made by Theodore Roosevelt. + The Pingree plan for assisting those who axe afflicted with poverty is to be given a fair trial at Flushing, L. I. Some of the active members of that community have converted a number of lot owners, and there are now under the control of these benefactors many large unimproved lots which will be at once turned over to de- serving persons for their use and benefit. ‘These very practical philanthropists are mainly connected with the single-tax club of Flushing. If the single-tax clubs throughout the country would only settle down to do as the Flushing organization is Going, real good would be accomplished and much time that is now being wasted in fruitless controversy could be saved for useful purposes. —___+ ++ —___ One hundred and ten men were employed upon the city post-office building today; a much smaller number than would have been at work had the tron for the upper stories been delivered at the date stipu- lated in the contract. 0 ‘The only things of any importance which @o not appear to get cornered occasionally &re the trusts. ——_+ e+ ___ The Cuban war correspondence thickens, — 2 -e___— Lovers of animal food who have feared that the supply of first-class meat would goon not be equal to the demand may get @ good deal of satisfaction out of the ton- @usions reached by statisticians who have made a study of the meat markets of, the world, since those experts declare that>one of the least likely things is the possibility upon which the fear referred to Is based. fhe annual meat product in this country elone exceeds seventeen million tons—nearly half of it being beef—while the total weight eonsumed is less than five million tons; so that even should there be steady increase fm our national appetite for flesh the- sup- ply promises for many years to come to be abundantly sufficient. It may not, perhaps, be generally known that the inhabitants of the United States consume more meat both fm bulk and per capita than the people of any other nation, the amount being quite ne hundred and fifty pounds a year for each person; which is thirty-two pounds a year more than in Great Britain, seventy- @aree pounds more than in France, eighty- stx pounds more than in Germany, ninety- gime pounds more than in Russia, and one bundred and twenty-four pounds more than fm Italy. Just what the consumption of meat was in this country fifty or sixty years ago can only be guessed at, but it is @ertain that there has been a slow but to come. The great majority of the human race eat little or no meat of any kind, and while it can hardly be argued that the minority are turning their faces toward vegetarianism it is nevertheless evident that education and experience—which after all is the most practical sort of education— do not encourage such consumption of meat as has been common on the northern half of this continent. Thc climate demands much more than, could possibly be consumed by dwellers in warmer latitudes, but the demand is now more reasonable and more easily understood than it was in those days not so long gone by when a very liberal supply of what have properly or improperly been regarded as muscie-forming foods was deemed to be absolutely essential. > 3 ——____ Now that the Commissioners, after their unaccountable delay in dealing with so plain a matter as the nuisance maintained by the Belt Line Railroad Company in parking its horses on the public streets, ave decided that the nuisance must be abated, a few questions seem to be in order: Why was the policeman’s report on the nuisance submitted to the general manager of the Belt road before going to the police department, but withheld even to this day from the press and public? Why did the Commissioners throw such a veil of secrecy over the whole affair? Why did they hold closely-guarded secret conferences. with the general manager of the Belt line, at which not only the re- Porters were rigidly excluded, but also the complainarts and other citizens interested? Why were the reporters shut out from all the hearings on the question? What .good reason is there for doing away with the open and above-board public hearings of all these matters of public in- terest that prevailed before Major Powell and Commissioner Truesdell came into otfice? Are the Cumtmissioners so blind as not to see that however honest their purposes may be, this hole-in-the-corner secrecy serves to throw a cloud of suspicion about all their acts? —— ¢ 2 ____ Nothing is wanting to make the assur- ance of returned warmth and sunshine complete excepting a tune from the Marine Band and the announcement from Carl Browne that he is going to do something foolish. ——___+ += ___ By the establishment of an electric rail- way between the two cities Baltimore will gain a number of advantages, notable among them being the opportunity to come over and see how baseball should not be Played. —-- ee —_ Mr. Croker’s winnings on the turf are at- tracting much attention, but the main cu- riosity continues to be confined to the orig- inal stake. ba -a = oe The Rock creek gold fields have been strangely neglected in the effort to find a means of quieting monetary apprehensions. ——-——+ 0 + It is now feared that Lecturer Coxey keeps his presidential boom solely for exhi- bition on payment of an admittance fee. ———~+-+—___—__ The purchase of the Times-Herald by Mr. Kohlsaat tends to create a powerful McKinley corner in Chicago journalism. ——_e-— The sound money discussion has opened up very creditable opposition to the base- ball season in its bid for public notice. —_+++—____ Governor Aitgeld has made the most of his chance at the interviewer's attention during the incarceration of Mr. Debs.
