6 THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, JUNE. 20, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. THURSDAY se+e+. Sane 20, 1895. cRrosBy -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. £7 In 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. The closer the letter sent by General anager Schoepf to the District Commis- oners terday in relation to the New ue line is scrutinized the more astounding appears the position therein a: Speaking for the board of. direc tors of the Eckington road, he says in ef- fect that they will not comply with the pro- visions of the statute requiring them to re- Move their overhead es from New York avenue by July 1, 1895, because they have not sufficient funds with which to equip the road with an underground electric sys- tem, and because Congress has not granted to issue additional “Had attention been directed to Mr. Schoepf says, Congress would undoubtedly have given authority for an in use of the road’s indebtedness, and therefore in the absence of such an in- timation there is a lack of legislative au- thority and therefore of ability on the part of the road to establish in Heu of the present system other means of rapid trad sit. Whose fault is that attention of Con- gress has not been directed to this ““embar- mn?" slative history of the Eckington ers’ Home railroad is not favor- able to the company in its present rebel- Nous attitude. This company was char- tered on the 19th of June, 185 to run a line from New York avenue and 7th str-et into the country, and erected over that route an overhead trolley system. April 30, 1890, Congress passed another statute ex- tending the line to 15th and G streets, and authorizing some new suburban branches, increased the capital stock, and provided: “That the authority of said company by this act or any other act conferred to erect or use overhead wires in its operation within of Washington shall absolutely cease and determine on July 1, 1893.” ‘Thus, the company had at that time over three years’ notice that It would be required to bstitute the new system of motive pow-r on the line between the corner of New York avenue and 7th street and the city limits. But the directors of the road, whatever may have been their protesta- tions, took absolutely no steps toward com- Pliance with this express and unmist: able provision of the law, and in the win- ter of 180, finding that the time for remov- ing the trolley poles was rapidly drawing to a close, they went before Congress and secured, in an act approvel February 13, 1883, an extension of this time to July 1, 1895, thus making the total time of warning given by Congress five years and two months. Aguin the time generously allowed this dilatory corporation was frittered away, and no steps of any kind were se- riously and honestly taken for a change of Motive power, although there was a dis- Play of apparent energy and experimenting with a novel method of magnetic prop l- sion on North Capitol street. Accordingly, last February, being again pressed by the calendar, the agents of the road went once more before Congress, and succeeded by a trick in securing the adoption of an amend- ment on a bill, which immediately passed the House in the hurry of the last hours of a District day, incorporating the East Washington Belt Line Company. This amendment granted the Eckington trolley one year additional extension. Its motive and effect were at once exposed in these columns, and the effort to sneak the exten- sion through Congress finally failed, so that the read today stands as it did in February, 1895, required to remove the poles on the Ist of July. There might be some show of reason in Mr. Schoepf's argument that the hands of the company are tied owing to the legisla- tive restriction on its issue of bonds if it should appear that the present emergency had risen suddenly or that this restriction upon its debt-incurring capacities had been placed by Congress in recent months. On the contrary, the history of the road shows that this restriction was laid by Congress in the act of July 5, 1892, three years before the period of the trolley on New York ave- nue was finally to cease. It further ap- Pears from a scrutiny of the various acts of Congress relating to this stubborn com- pany that its capital stock has been !n- creased whenever Congress has been asked to grant such authority, and there is abso- lutely no evidence today on the statute books or in the annals of Congress to show that application has ever been made to either House for authority to issue more bonds for the purpose of changing the method of transportation. Had the com- pany shown as much energy, enterprise and shrewdness in an honest effort to ob- tain the right to raise more money as it did in tricky attempts to secure an extension of time, there would today be no such “em- barrassing r: ction” as that which Man- ager Schoepf, with a gravity that can scarcely be sincere, alleges to be the sole excuse for what all the people in the Dis- trict of Columbia know to be a reckless and impudent defiance of Congress and the law, of the Commissioners and of pub- lic sentiment. ——_+ e+ The correspondence Governor O'Ferrall ing between of Virginia and the Board of Trade committee on the Jackson City matter, which is published today in The Star, shows that there is no ground whatever for the impression that has been entertained and exp: ed in some quarters essi that Virginia's utive has shown bad faith toward the local people. He has given no reason for anybcdy to doubt the sincerity of his intention to fulfill his pledges, and when he has received the promised evidence from the Washington committee he will doubtless labor faith- fully, promptly and su sfully to destroy the evil conditions which injure and dis- grace both Virginia and the national cap- ital. tee Ex-Police Inspector McLaughlin's time has been so valuable in the past that he naturally considers two and a half years of it altogether too much of it to give up to the government. —__——_+ e+ __ Admiral Meade’s successor has doubtless had his attention called to that page in the handbook of etiquette which indicates that tact is the art of not saying things. ——_+ ++ —___ There is still some doubt as to whether silver ought to rank as a political or a literary issue. ——_ + 0+ __ It ts sincerely hoped that the Civil Service Commission will find its way clear to such an extension of the rules, with the approval 6f the President, as will include the chiefs and subchiefs of the Treasury Department within the operations of the law which makes merit the first consideration for ap- pointment and retention in service. It has long been a weak point in the departmental Bystem, even under the operations of the Givil service law, that the head of a divi- sion, upon whom rests all the responsi- bility for the work performed by his sub- = ordinate branch of a department, should be subject to unreasonable changes without reference to his qualifications, and great harm has often been done by the dismissal of chiefs whose long service has made them especially valuable and the substi- tution in their places of new men from the cutside who had necessarily to depend upon thelr clerks to guide them in the conduct of their business. Of all men the chief should be best acquainted with the details of the work, and an intelligent administration of government is impossible if these im- portant officials are kept outside of the merit system. This extension will be one more step toward the attainment of the ideal that should always be before the Civil Service Commission, an ideal based upon merit, efficiency and intelligence re- gardless of all other considerations. — - + e+—____ The Henry murder in Brooklyn bids fair to become one of the great unsolved mys- teries of this country. In many respects it Is like the famous Nathan» murder in New York, which Is today a refutation of the adage that “murder will out.” A wealthy father was then as now slain by violent blows upon the head and suspicion then as now rested upon a son. The mo- tive alleged in the Nathan case was not es clearly defined as in the Henry case nor were the charges pressed so closely to the heir of the dead man. The reception yesterday in Brooklyn of the verdict of the coroner's jury declining to fix on the son the responsibility was sensational in the extreme and the decision appears to have Leen popular. The efforts to detect the murderer will, of course, be renewed. A single crime of violence that goes unde- tected and therefore unpunished is a great disaster and is an influence for evil, through encouragement to criminal tendencies. This case, however, is yet young and may still be marked by successful work by the Brook- lyn police. The latest instance of terrible crime before this that has gone unavenged is the celebrated case at Fall River, Mass., Where the aged Borden couple lost their lives and for which nobody up to date has been punished. —_~++—__. Gradually the English political system is being elevated to the level of American politics. It is by no means strange that this effect is being produced by the influ- ence of woman, not necessarily the new woman, but fair, gentle advocates of the old school, backed by large bank accounts and the prestige of having made creditable matches among the English gentry. The work of Lady Randolph Churchill, formerly Miss Jerome of New York, has long been a matter of comment, but now her fame as a political rhanager is to be rivaled by two new entries, Mrs. George N. Curzon and Mrs. H. S. Naylor-Leyland. Mr. Nay- lor-Leyland, who married Miss Jane Cham- berlain of Cleveland, recently resigned from the House of Commons and is now contesting the Southport seat with Mr. Curzon, whose marriage with Miss Mary Leiter of Washington and Chicago was but a recent event in social circles. So Cleveland and Chicago are arrayed against each other and there may be some element of local pride infused into the campaign which otherwise might be an ordinarily dull English affatr. ——__ -- + «+ -___ The triangular arrangement of boards around the trucks on cable cars, which, in the early days of the car-fender agitation, was declared by the railroad to be the best fender ever invented, does not appear to be even an effective wheel-guard, if the reports of the accident yesterday to the little news- boy who was thrown under the wheels of an avenue cable car are accurate. The carelessness of the boy himseif in jumping between the tracks does not condone the failure of the wheel-guard to operate. —_+« +____ Jerry Simpson's farm is said to be of rather an inferior quality. But that should not be a discouragement. There is no reason why Kansas should not undertake to get crops from poor materials. She has cer- tainly tried the experiment often enough in statesmanship. ——-- + + -___ The report that C. H. J. Taylor has dis- played anxiety about his position indicates a very suspicious nature after the trials to which the President’s constancy to this protege has been subjected and bas en- dured without flinching. —_-— + = ____ Fifty-three men were engaged on the Fost office building today.

How glad is the weary urban wight When the rustic home he seeks, When vacation time has heaved in sight With a loaf of several weeks. How merrily sounds the breakfast bell Ere the dew is off the glade; How softly the peepers their sorrow tell In the moist and mournful shade. How glad he is for the moraing sprint To some hillock's dusty height. How glad for the brooklet’s dazzling glint Where the fish will never kite. How glad for the breakfast of nice salt pork And the dinner of quite the same, And the chances to help the farmer work As he gatuers the golden grain. How glad he is when at last he’s held In a train that is homeward bound; How gladder than ali that he’s not com- pelled To live there the whole year round. —_- + e+ ____ A Great Discovery.
