‘THE “EVENING -8TAR, :FRIDAY, AUGUST 2, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIMAY...............-..4 August 2, 1895. Grosny cteeeeeees s+ Editor, ANE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent circulation much more than the combined circulation of the other Washington dafites, As a News and Advertising Medium it has uo competitor. (lm order to avoid delnys, on gc- fount 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. Washingtonians who have a proper local Pride can hardly be otherwise than gratl- fled at the extension far into the suburbs of the admirable and efficient service of the ‘Washington and Georgetown street railway system, which will come as the sequence of @ consolidation of the interests of stock- holders in the Washington and Georgetown and Rock Creek railroad companies. It Matters little to the general public what are the moving causes of the consolida- tion—that is something which concerns only the corporations themselves—the fact !s that better service will ensue at one-half the cost so far as those who ride over the lines of the separate roads are concerned. The Star. has consistently advocated ex- tension by the strong as against multiplica- tion of the weak, and has done so because to the car-patronizing public there {s real economy and improved service and to the gity material benefit in the placing of many almost helpless and seml-efficient com- panies under the complete control of one of the wealthy and energetic jrunk-lines. The District of Columbla’s territory is hot large and there should be in existence traffic arrangements by which it would be possible fur a passenger to secure trans- rtation from one limit to another for a Enste fare, Such errangements are not Mkely to be if the present number of com- panies continues to operate. The minor roads plead poverty whenever they are asked to modernize their equipment or to make reasonable transfer agreements with their big associates in what is, when well- managed, very profitable business, and it is these minor concerns that The Star would be pleased tc see merged in any Washington-controlled consolidation. Sub- stantial benefits would accrue either to the Washingtcn and Georgetown or the Metro- politan companies through extension by acquisition of the Eckington, Brightwood, Anacostia and Tennallytown roads—all, ac- cording to thei: own declarations, too poor to live up to the standard which will some ef these days be insisted upon by the pub- lic and by Congress. All of these suburban roads are valuable as feeders and should at the earliest pos- sible moment be compelled to a prosperous condition by the workings of the extension system which The Star will continue to advocate. Under some circumstances the consolida- tien of capital and control in the local street-car business might be an annoy- ance and an injury to the residents of the national capital—it surely would be so were the management vested in outside hands—but here the aggregation is over- whelmingly local in its habitat and inter- ests, so there need be no fear of injustice or of heedlessness when there is popular demand for a needed betterment. —_—_+e+—___ A member of the Metropolitan police force has resigned under what practically amounted to compulsion. The cause of the officer's downfall was a passion for gamb- ling, and because of indulgence In that wholly perniclous variety of excitement the fugitive has lost employment and charac- ter and has brought great distress upon those whom he should carefully have shielded from the trouble for which he alone seems to be responsible. It is said that at every “off duty” opportunity this particular unfortunate visited the race tracks at Alexander Island and St. Asaph, ard there wagered not only the money with which his home should have been supported, but also the money of a consid- erable number of persons who, by reason of the officer's official position, felt com- Pelled to accede to his requests for cash loans. The ruin of this man is not surpris- ing; thousands of others have traveled the fame way and thousands more are en- aged in easy movement toward the same goal; such things will be until human na- ture has been thoroughly cleansed and re- generated. But it seems to the ayerage citizen a rather remarkable thing that a police officxr could be one of the steady habitues at the race-tracks just across the Potomac without the fact becoming known to those who are responsible for the con- duct of the local police department. Per- haps the fact was known, but was not re- garded a3 cf any particular moment. Had this officer who was yesterday compelled to sever his connection with the force been the only member of the department who Patronized the bookmakers, he might long ago have been so disciplined that the trouble in which he now Is could perhaps have been averted, but he probably imag- ined that there was no harm in his doing what others in the department did, and the result has been ruinous. Before great seandal arises a stop shovld be put to the regular attendance at “queer” race-tracks of police officers of various grades, who are there not for police purposes, but as gamblers, for the purpose of investing Money on the “sure things’ which are @aily fixed by the management. ———> «=», -__ A correspondent states elsewhere in The Star that the street railway megnate whu Secured by threats of withdrawal of sup- pert the dismissal of a college professor because the latter taught that municipall- ties should control street railway fran- chises is Yerkes of Chicago. It is bad enough to have the aggregated capital of. semi-public corporations tampering with our legislatures without having the educa- tion of the youth of the republic thus tainted at its source. ——— — There is what may be termed a “boom” fn the construction of the city post-office buliding. . Almost one hundred men are employed on the skeleton today. —_—> e+ ___ The trotting-horse has labored earnestly to reduce the record only to find, after all, that the bicycle leaves him practically a back number. ———__e + Senator Gorman hes not been in polities all these years for nothing. ——__ e+ ___ A change has come over, the spirit of the Greams of the aspirant for a place on the New ¥ police for The board of commissioners has given notice that there is a crying need for over three hundred more men on the force, but present indie tions are that there will not be the sare yush for places that used to mark every letting down of the bars between the pub- lic and the great body of men whose title in wag a synonym for what is commen parlance known as a “soft thing.” What 4s it that has transformed a place with ight duties, good pay and rich perqui- ites into a position with heavy, exacting luties, the same pay, and no perquisites fworth mentioning? Is New York any ‘worse? Does the city give the policeman any more to do by tending more strongly toward criminality? There is no likeli- hood that such a wonderful and deplorable transformation has been wrought in the fmorals of the community in the short Bpace of a year. The truth is that af un- usual element has entered the field. Re- | bono ne renee tee form—with a capital R—has been at work. An effort that is attended with more suc- cess than the advocates of the old methods will confess, is being made to really en- force the laws enacted for the government of the community. The policeman must work nowadays. There are thugs and thieves to arrest who formerly secured immunity by bribes. Saloon-keepers are to be kept from violating the excise law. Questionable resorts must be discouraged and prévented from undermining the moral foundations of the town. The nor- mal, legitimate functions of the guardian of the peace are once more required of every wearen of the uniform of the police force. It is hard on the policemen, espe- clally as the pay is not increased, but it is a good thing for the citizens and the taxpayers. Perhaps Commissioner Roose- velt and his associates on the board of commissioners will get a better class of men by insisting upon honest officers of the force, and by guarding more strictly the examinations for appointment than their predecessors did under the old sys- tem, when favoritism and proxies com- bined to make the police appointments a Scandal and a menace to the peace and good order of the city. —_~eo____—_ Aeronautic efforts are generally accom- panied by all sorts of misfortune, and oc- casionally there is a crash in which celestial ideas and terrestrial machinery receive fatal injuries. Something like that has hap- pened at Rochester, N. Y., where a model of an uir-ship was given an opportunity to navigate the skies. Perhaps the wind was too strong, or there may have been care- lessness or ignorance in operating the ma- chine, but, whatever the cause, it is certain that instead of going up, the machine came down—cbeying the laws of gravitation rather than the plans of the inventor—with such violence that it tore a great hole in that portion of the earth’s surface where the collision took place. It is announced that the inventor was not at all dis- couraged by the failure. He is confident that the big ship which is now being built from the burrowing model will be success- ful, and, being larger and heavier, will be able to weather any gale. There is no rea- son why the architect and buiider of the machine should permit himself to be down- east. He has a firm hold upon the prin- ciples which govern mechanical flight, but in this instance the machinery seems to have been reversed. Now, if he will only turn the machine upside down there will probably ensue a very successful voyage heavenward. Should this rational inference fail to work satisfactorily, then it may be that Mr. Cooley—that is the inventor's name—will have to change the title of what he now hopes will be an air-ship and use it to sink wells and dig pos les, for which purposes it seems to be admirably adapted. In‘his endeavor to equip the human race with wings, to speak, Mr. Cooley rm have accidentally stumbled upon a machine which will supersede the pile-driver and be of incalculable value in the coal-fields ang oil-regions. —___—_<eo—_ When it was first suggested that the principles of civil service reform should be practically applied to the Government Printing Office—and The Star believes it was the first to make the suggestion—there were many cbjections made even by those who were not opposed td the civil service law and many more objections by those who were very pronounced in their opposi- tion to that extremely beneficent statute. Those who imagined that extension of the rules would be a good thing were in most instances inclined to the belief that prac- tical examinations would not be possible. Yet it appears that suitable questions have teen framed, and that there was no trouble at the first examination. It has not een alleged that there was any practical difficulty in arranging the preliminaries, nor does it seem possible that the new plan will work anything but good, and that with increasing smoothness and facility. —_—_ «= —___ America could ll spare Richard Morris Hunt, who died at Newport, R. L, last Wednesday. Of poilttcians we have super- abundance, of so-called financiers a ple- thora, of imitation statesmen a multitude too vast to be numbered, but of architects such as was Richard M. Hunt we have so few that the departure of one is truly a national loss. Aside from the many pub- lic and private buildings designed by him— and not one of them but is esthetically pleasing and creditable to its designer's repute—he was the creator of some of the finest of those temporary structures which were perhaps the most striking features of the great Columbian Exposition. The influences set in motion by Hunt’s master- pieces will long continue as active forces m a field where the laborers are many, but artists extremely scarce. —______ e=—_____ The men who got out of the New York jail would surely be touched with pangs of remorse could they see the prospect of having their keepers locked up in their places. —___++-____.
