6 THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, JULY 18, 1895-TEN PAGES. ‘THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, WHURSDAY... sevecees. Sly 18, 1895. THE EVE permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washingten dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. G STAR has a regular and [ln 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. Wide-awake, un-to-date Washington read with especial interest the announcement in yesterday's Star of corporate organization for the purpose of utilizing the enormous water power which now runs to waste above and past this city. There was a time in the history of the national capital when any movement in the direction of added industry was indiscriminately frowned down; commerce and manufac- tures were undoubtedly good things, but this was regarded as betng distinctively a residence city, and for that reason there was studied discouragement of anxious capitalists. Washington is as determined as ever to retain its supremacy as an Ideal place of residence, and it aspires to the lght and clean manufacturing industries of beautiful Paris, and not to those of a Pittsburg. The capital can add to its popu- lation and resources through Industrial progress without diminishing in the least its residence attractions through soot and smoke, through noises and smells. With the sirgle exception of the Niagara river, there is not probably in all the eastern portion of this country a stream which offers so many natural advantages to those *who would utilize one of nature's greatest forces as does the Potomac. The informa- tion which The Star yesterday gave to the public ts evidence that some of the men who have money to invest, and who are accustomed to large affairs, propose to take advantage of the opportunity, which, for so many years, has been neglected. Irctead of planning to erect their plant at Great Falls, to which attention has hitherto been especially directed, the engineers and financial backers of the plan to which reference is made, have shifted the scene of probable action to Little Falls, well within the limits of the District of Cqlum- bia. The Star has always argued in behalf of governmental ownership of the water and riparian rights of the upper Potomac, and that argument has never lacked solid foundation. This city is the seat of gov- ernment, and Congress long ago decided that the city’s water supply should come from Great Falls. In order that the supply be fully protected, !t is essential that the general government shall have absolute possession of so much of the Potomac and its banks and watershed as may be neces- sary to protect the interests of the hun- dreds of thousands of residents and visitors in the national capital. More than that, it is the duty of the general government to take advantage of the facilities offered for operating a comprehensive system of elec- tric lighting, by which not only the city’s streets but also the many government buildings might be illuminated. This idea took deep rcot in the Fifty-third Congress, and, as a result of investtgation authorized by that body, it is known that practical application of the proposition would be* economical. ‘Transmission of electrical power would be easy over a much greater stretch of territory than that which lies between this city and the Great Falls of the Potomac; in many places the feat is beimg hourly performed over distances four or five times as great. But if Congress in- sists upon governmental procrastination, and will not take such businesslike action as is common among business men, then it is only reasonable. that corporations or individuals should seek to profit by con- wressional laches. The government having failed so far todo its duty to itself and the community in this matter, Washington will warmly welcome those priyate capitalists who will honestly devote themselves to the development of resources which offer steady temptation to uninvested dollars. With abundance of cheap power delivered fn the city there will be attracted hither hundreds of those whose manufactures are of the Hghter classes; men who will appre- ciate inexpensive power and all that could be asked for in the way of rail and water facilities for the transportation of raw material and marketable products. Great Falls as well as Little Falls will of course be utilized, and after a while Congress may come to the belated conclusion that it is its duty to act in the matter. ——___ = —___ The people who, a few weeks ago, de- elared that Mr. Theodore Roosevelt was making the mistake of his life in accepting the position of Police Commissioner in the city of New York, are now, perhaps, realiz- ing how far from the truth they were. No man is lost who can occupy the attention of the politicians, the paragraphers and the cartoonists—not to mention the undivided attention of the policemen—for six weeks ‘at a stretch. He has not hid his light under a bushel. He may not be occupying the most fertile field for the propagation of presidential candidates, but he ts culti- vating a habit on the part of the people of keeping an eye everlastingly on him as he fights for the preper enforcement of the laws of a great community, regardless of the so-called privileges of the rich or the power of the politician. ——__+ ++ ___ Since the Commissioners are at the returns from the standpoint of home | mn To rule for Ireland the outlook is gloomy, for “the anti-home rule gain is very great. Of course there is no probability that this ratio of gain will continue, for liberalism and home rule are much stronger in the counties than they are in the cities, and it is the citles that have made the strong con- servative showing so far. Tory enthusiasts insist that the majority will be big enough to free the conservative leaders from any necessity for making terms either with the liberal unionists or the Irish members. Re- Mable information from the inner political circles is to the effect that there Is much less of viciously-partisan misbehavior than is common in connection with English elec- | tions, but this gratifying feature is com- pletely offset by the openly-made declara- tions that the elections generally are much more corrupt than any held in recent years. Prophecy as to what the conservatives will do with the power which ts suddenly placed in their hands ts not now possible. The ex- tent of that power, to be determined by the completeness of their victory, is not yet fully known. One evident result would seem to be, however, the postponement for an indefinite period of the Irish home rule question. —-2-e-______ It ts a fact of significance that prepara- tions are now being made for the building of an auditorium at Dallas, Tex., that will seat very nearly 53,000 people on the occa- sion of the expected fight between Corbett and Fitzsimmons.” Fifty-three thousand People, most of them travellers oyer dis- tances from Dallas ranging from®’ one to three thousand miles, and all in the midst of reasonably hard times! This represents @ vast expenditure of money, and what are the returns? A fight between two men lasting anywhere from three minutes to three hours, and which may at the last moment be prevented from coming off at all. The expected assemblage at Dallas Mlustrates a curious phase of the Ameri- can make-up. It shows what a complex people we are. There has just closed in the city of Boston a convention of men and women engaged in the cause of Chris- tlanity that attracted upwards of fifty thousand people frcm other parts of the country. The Dallas fight and the Boston Christian Endeavor convention will proba- bly rank as the greatest gatherings of the year and next year another phase of Amer- fcanism will be developed in the great po- litical conventions. Truly, the American 1s a many-sided individual. . +0 —_____— The young men and women, members of the Baptist Union, who are now thronging Baltimore, will not do their full duty if they neglect to come over to Washington during or after their stay in the suburbs of the National Capital. They are good, strong, earnest young folks, thoroughly imbued with the zeal that usually charac- terizes this yigoros denomination of Chris- tian workers. They are the Endeavorers of the Baptist Church, and thelr conven- tion across the way will undoubtedly be a great success. But it will be lacking in all the elements of completeness if advantage 4s not taken of this exceptional opportunity to vigjt the center of the nation 4nd_ see the many curious, valuable, interesting and elevating things that are here. Next to actually bringing the convention here the Union has done a most sensible thing, in choosing a meeting place which is not only attractive in itself, but which is so near that access to the capital is easy. —____+ += —____ Commissioner Powell deserves and will receive the commendation and: hearty’ sup- port of the people of- Washington in his advocacy of vigorous and effective action in enforcing the law against the illegat trolley. Discretion may be the better part of valor, but in a case like this valor ia the-highest discretion. “Tender-handed stroke a nettle, And it stings you for your pains; Grasp it like a man of mettle, And it soft as silk remain: —__+ ++ —__—_ If a street railway company were té dis- play half the resolution and energy in get- ting a satisfactory motive system that some do in maintaining an objectionable one, there would be no trouble whatever about rapid transit. —————22=—___ The promised increase of force on the post-office buildimg did not materialize to- day, There were just seventy-elght men engaged there and even they found things rather dull. —__+ + > ____.
