e ———— THE EVENING STAR WASHINGTON, ‘WEDNESDAY... July 3, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES................Editor. ENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington datites. As a Ke 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. Telephone rates are being discussed quite generally throughout the country at this time, the popular conclusion being that in most citi a considerable reduction In rental is possible without unfairness to the companies who operate the various Plants. So far as the city of Washington is concerred it Is felt by the business com- munity that the sum annually required of each subecriber to the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company is much in excess. of that which could fairly be de- manded in return for the service rendered. Representatives of the corporation insist that present profits are much too small and that reduced rates would so cripple the busiress that investors would be dis- couraged and driven into other lines of money-making industry. The company states that, iast year’s profits were only 4 Per cent on the capital tied up in the en- terprise, but any statement which deals merely with the gross capital and the money it has earned is misleading. It is unfair to ask—practically, to compel—the telephone-renting public to repay to the local company the large sums which have, it is alleged, been foolishly invested, and from which the telephcre-renting public has not received and never can receive any benefit. Deduct from the stated capital the money thus thrown away and there Will be, it is thought, profit eriough to make the investment a sound one and at the same time to p2rmit a material reduction | of the rates. It is vain to argue that the telephone any moré cheaply than it is at this time, and the Bell Company, in the United States. Frem every country in Europe comes testimony which instantiy over- throws such Ily-supported contention as is made by representatives of American tele- phone companies. Switzerland has an area of 15,981 square miles, yet telephone priv- ileges over practically the whole of that territory may be secured by the payment of a sum demanded for telephone service in the Dis- trict of Columbia alone. The ordinary rate —permitting telephonic conversation in ten or a dozen towns and villages—is $24 for the first year, $20 for the second, and a little more than $16 for the third year and fer succeeding years. It is, therefore, plain- ly evid making all reasonable allowance for ing industrial conditions, American conduit reauirements in cities, ete—that the corporate demands upon~subscribers in the United States are unreasonably great. If the Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Company, which is alleged to be owned and controlled by the Beil Telephone Company, is wise-in its day and generation and de- sires to maintain here a monopoly which can hardly be otherwise than lucrative, it will place itself in touch with the popular movement. Any considerable delay in the cutting of rates may result in competition such as will transfer the monopoly to an- other corporation. Since the purpose of having a telephone is to be placed in com- munication with all other telephone users, a single comprehensive system, connecting everybody with everybody else, is what is needed in every community. If in one com- munity there were three or four companies there would be great confusion and to those who desired all available means of com- mtnication and consequently subseribed to all the companies there would be, as now, unreasonably great expense. The business must from its nature be conducted as a monopoly, but every community will nat- urally confer this morcpolistic privilege upon the individual or corporation which . Will supply the best service at the cheapest rates. —_——_- ++ __. It fs intimated with truth by those en- titled to the credit of beginning the crusade against the ten-per-cent-a-month men that Froceedings which deprive a few usurers in a few instances of their usurious interest, without enabling the victims to borrow at legal rates, have no permanent remedial ef- fect on the usury eyil. The ten-per-center caleulates upon a certain percentage of losses of thts sort, and extorts from those who do pay more than enough to reimburse him. The practical cure of usury is to provide loans to the victims at legal rates. The Star on Saturday im commending @ movement to create un organization for making such loans on chattel security, dwelt strongly on the philanthropic side of the undertaking, presenting its attractions to those who in order to do good are will- ing to forego a high rate of interest on their investment, and it is evident from Mr, Donath’s statement published in Mon- day's Star that the capital for the ven- ture must come largely from this class, since the mere money-maker will not be tempted by a four per cent return, The Star also suggested a broadening of the movement by which a Hberal: of the methods of pawnbrokers for the benefit of the poor weu ult. mends the suggestion of the city. A pawnshop for the poor after the racdel of those found in some Huro- pean and American cities is much to be de- sire Mr. Donath com- to the pawnbrokers ——__++ + The plans for the capital city were beau- tifully and intelligently laid’ owt. All that the present generation has to do is to be careful not to spoil them in making street extensions. + 0 Only fifty-two men were employed today on all that great structural skeleton which will some day be the new city post-office. ee The New York police-justice crop ap- peers to be somewhat superabundant. ~ =e 6 Tomorrow will be Independence Day. July 4 is the natal day of the Republic. On that day thrcughout the Icnd there is re- Joicing and noise, sometimes more noise than rejoicing. The trouble is that too few of the noise-preducers know why they make the ncise. This Is a natural fact, due to the ebullition of animal spirits of the younger generation, and as long as there are boys there will be tons of powder burned on Independence Day. True patriot- ism, however, does not depend upon ex- plosives. It is fostered by something more stable, end {t would be well, perhaps, if each and every parent in the District of Columbta, of all places in the land, would make a point tomorrow morning at the breakfast table to make a few remarks upor the meaning of the day; tc tell why it fsa holiday, why tt is celebrated with the booming of cannon and other demonstra- tions of exuberant sentiment. Five min- utes devoted to a judicious little lecture over the cggs and coffee orce a year would probably give to thousands of boys and girls a better {dea of what this nation ls and why it is a thing to be proud of than all the professional history-teaching in the world. There is nothing so effective as timely discourse, It ia a meet time to scold @ doy for going in swimming against or- serg When be ig caught with his clothes business cannot be conducted | less than one-half the amount | motst and his hair all in strings. On the other hand, on the morning of July 4, when the boyish heart is filled with the zeal of a day of perfect freedom—for unlimited noise is as near the boy’s ideal of freedom as anything that can be imagined—that is the ripe time for inculcating in him the proper spirit of patriotism that is based on some- thing more substantial, and to some tastes more plersaat, than Chiness crackers and Roman catcles, the very names of which have an un-American sound on the day when the stars and stripes should be the banner of banners. Don’t talk too long to the youngsters, however. They are ‘mpa- tient to get out on the streets with their toy caunots and their punk. Just give them some noticn of what the day means, why it is celebrated, how it origirated, and then dismiss them with a benediction and a prayer for their preservatien in the midst of the dangers of the day. The example of the organizations that have long made July 4 a time of general rejoicicng is a gcod one to emulate. The Oldest Inhabit- ants, excellent specimens of true patriot- ism, the various patriotic sccieties, Sons and Daughters of the Revolution and of the American Revolution, and all the others that have come into existence dur- ing the last few years, these have ceremonies that are all excellent stimu- lants of that proper sense of duty to the natioa which the day should always create or strengthen. Washington should be a hot-bed of entlusiastic patrictism tomor- rew. It is the center of things poiitical in this country, and should be the center of the affections of every true American. —__---+ e+ ____ Train robberies or attempts at train rob- bery in tHe more or less remote west are of undoubted interest to all persons in the United States who are employed in running trains or are accustemed to railroad travel or who expect at some time or other to patronize a railroad company, but local cencern in train hold-ups is materially in- creased when such an occurrence takes place in the immediate vicinity of the na- tioral capital. The methods adopted by the would-be robders who did their worst Mon- day night on the Metropolitan branch of the Baltimore and Ohio road were not calculated to make train-robhery any more popular than it has been. Heretofore it has been the custom to bring the train to a stop by bulldozing the engineer, a proceed- ing which made it possible for wide-awake people on other parts of the train to pro- ceed offensively or defensively. The use of dynamite as a stopping force renders defense practically impossible and en- dangers not only the lives of employes of the company, but the lives also of ail the passengers. Of course there will be search for the miscreants whose desire it was to Wreck the train and in the consequent con- fusion seeure the rich booty which they beleved to be ou board. The pursuit of ecrimimals of the train-robbing class ‘s always highly commendable, and should in this instance be pressed with all pos- sible vigor, for so long as these dynamite handlers are at large there is probability of a repetition of their villuinous effort, with chances much less favorable to the train crew and passengers than they turned out to be Monday night. An example of What can be accomplished by persistent detective work was the result of the chase | uted by the Adams’ Express Com- for the purpose of capturing the incipals in the robbery that took place at Aquia Creek last year; for awhile there did not seem to be in existence a ciew that was worthy of consideration, but indus- trious ingenuity finally brought about the imprisonment and conviction of the men wHose remarkable daring awakened the entire east to the fact that train-robbery Was not necessarily a trans-Missouri ac- complishmeat. Traffic between Wasi aud the west is heavy over the Metr tan branea, so tae Baltimore and Ohio company owes it to a very large number of patrons that everything possible be done te catch and punish the conscienceless scoundrels who evidently did the best they knew how to murder a numfer of fellow- beings in order that in the disorder which Was reasonably expected, there would be found opportunity Zor plunder. If the com- pany will only make strenuous effort, it is likely to be successful in detecting the cynamiters.
