(HE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1895-TWELVE PAGES, ——_— THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY......September 11, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES................Edltor, THE EVENING STAR hn: a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. t7In 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 STAN, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Down Come the Poles, As recently as Saturday The Star de- ¢elared that it was possible for the local au- thorities to bring about instant settlement of the differences which have rendered it possible for the Eckington and Soldiers’ Home Kailroad Company to flagrantly vio- late the law which has it that trolley poles and overhead wires are illegally maintained on New York avenue from Seventh street to Boundary. In Saturday evening's issue it was editorially stated, in a discussion of this affair, that “if they (the Commission- ers) will take up the matier in earnest, as urged repeatedly by The Star, they can bring the company to terms in a single day. Yesterday there was consideration of this deeply-interesting topic by the Com- missioners, and this morning it became certain that the Commissioners would en- force the law. The result is made plain in the news columns of The Star, for the Eckington management has announced its Intention of removing the poles and wires within ten days. This means, of course, that horses will be substituted for elec- tricity on the New York avenue route, but what appears to be a disadvantageous change will only be temporary, for the Commissioners and The Star have the straightforward promise of President New- bold that at the earliest possible moment work will be commenced on the equipment of the entire Eckington and Belt systems with some such underground methods of Btreet-car propulsion as work so admirably on Ninth street and U street. Suburban residents who depend more or less upon the Eckington road for transportation to and from the city will doubtless fear incon- venierce and delay as results of the sub- stitution of horses for the trolley; as a matter of fact, the time from one end of the road to the other is not likely to be lengthened more than a couple of minutes, and it may be that a suflicient increase in the number of cars operated from Seventh street to that point where the trolley Is legal will give more satisfactory service than has recently been enjoyed by patrons of the road. Should any slight and tempo- rary discommoding of passengers be one of the consequences of the equine makeshift, then the passengers, as law-abiding citi- zens, must console themselves with knowl- edge of the fact that the good citizen does not hesitate as to what should be done when inexcusable lawlessness and trespass upon a public right are arrayed against a statute which has for its object the ma- terial and permanent betterment of street- railroad transportation facilities through a region in which most of those who are likely to make thoughtless complaint are financially interested. ——_ oe Will Salvador Be Slapped? Somebody down in Salvador is likely to get into trouble. As a matter of fact, any- body who lives in Salvador Is likely to get into trouble. Perhaps there have been times when all was peaceful in that little three by five nationality, but the periods of comparative repose have always been very brief indeed and were merely regarded as preludes to more of fuss than ever before. But the brand of trouble to which reference is now being made is of a new variety. It seems from the testimony of the captain of the American steamer City of Sydney that the steamship was boarded by persons who had no right to thus trespass but who nevertheless dil so and after much search- ing found in the steamer’s coal bunkers Florencio Bustamento, one of Antonio Ezeta’s favorite lieutenants. In view of the feeling known to exist in Salvador, it is only reasonable to imagine that Mr. Bus- tamento’s career came to an end very speedily after his captors got him ashore. Several Americans are now waiting to see what the State Department is going to do about this boarding of an American ship and the forcibly taking therefrom of a per- son who seems to have had a right to the protection sometimes afforded by the Amer- ican flag. ——_++—____ Now that the management of the Eck- ington and Belt Companies has consented to waive the law's delays with which the trelley poles on New York avenue might have been braced, judging from experience, fer weeks to come, the people of Washirg- ton will await anxiously the appearance of | r.aterial evidence in behalf of President Newbold’s promises of rapid transit on the Eckington and Belt system. Mr. Newold has pledged himself to do all he possibly can to provide the roads in question with an unobjectionable underground electric equipment. He has proven the sincerity of his anti-overhead-troliey promises and he will doubtless soon make a similar demon- stration in the other important matters which concern residents of and visitors to the National Capital. ———_+ ++ ___ If the garbage question can be settled in time for next summer's campaign against the microbes it will be a cause for general congratulation. +e -____ It is hoped that the Hilton trophy will continue to make itself at home in the Dis- trict ot Columbia. oe Safeguards at Grade Crossings. When the District Commissioners had an opportunity to come to some sort of agree- ment with the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company es to the manner In which grade crossings should be protected and tracks fenced, they declined to enter into negotia- tions. If the Commissioners now accept the opinion of the attorney for the District which deals with flagmen at grade-cross- ings and declares that the company cannot be compelied to assist the public in pro- tecting citizens generally from the dangers of steam ratiroads operated on street lev- els, then will be revealed a remarkable and extremely unfortunate condition of official impotence. District Attorney Thomas is quite positive as to the position he has taken. “In my judgment,” said he, “you cannot require the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road Comtany to keep watchmen at any or all of its highway crossings. Whether the attorney's judgment is correct or not may be debatable, in view of the act of the legis- lative assembly on this subject, quoted elsewhere, but in view of the fact that he is the trusted and usually careful legal ad- viser of the Commissioners there is noth- ing urreasonable in supposing that those who are generally believed to be the mu- nicipal rulers of the rational capital are ut- terly helpless in this matter. uch a condi- tion fs of course extremely undesirable, and yet it may after all prove to be a blessi! for, if the Baltimore and Ohio Com proceeds to take advantage of what the attorney for the District insists Is a weak- nes: then will public sentiment so much the sooner erystullize In behalf of a better condition of affairs than this city has yet known. Demanding just now that there be ample protection prcvided at the cross- ings, the people of Washington will not be content for any considerable length of time with the best of safety gates and a vigilant corps of watchmer; what Wash- ington wants and what it will surely have will be a solid mascnry viaduct over which the Biltimore and Ohio Company may run @S many trains as it pleases and at such rates of speed as it sees fit. Skilful pro- crastination may delay for a season the commencement of active operations upon Plans already in existence, but the people's patience is not what it vsed to be, and some cf these days the Baltimore and Ohio Company will suddenly conclude that it was foolish policy to put off the day of im- provement until imprevement was practi- cally compelled. To members of the Sen- ate committee on the District of Columbia, friends and representatives of the Balti- more and Ohio read have stated that the company was alrrost ready to put into practice the suggestions made by The Star more thar three years ago; suggestions which gave a clear idea as to how steam railroads were operated-in Europe on ele- vated mascnry structures. It is to be pre- sumed that these who spoke for the Balti- more and Ohio Company before Congress were in earnest, so it is amcng the possi- bilities thet before the Fifty-fourth Con- gress adjourns there will be an end of the steam railroad muddle which is now work- ing very much injury to Washington and doing no good whatever to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company. ——_ + e = —__ May the Best Yacht Win, Supposing that Defender’s protest against Valkyrie, alleging a foul, is thrown out by the conumittee having such matters in charge, then Lord Dunraven has one vic- tory to his credit and one which no fair- minded American will begrudge him. If the contests now on shall prove Valkyrie to be a better yacht than Defender, or if, that not being established, there shall be evidence to the effect that Valkyrie won because it was better handled than its American competitor, then Lord Dunraven will set sail for England with the cheers of a great multitude of Americans ringing in his ears. Of course we want to keep the cup—we have had it for so long a period that its absence would be seriously felt—but we would not care to own it if our title turns out to be defective. But the cup has not departed yet, nor is It likely to depart, for it seems to be gen- erally admitted by those who are capable of judging that but for the damage Wrought by the collision the Defender would surely have crossed the finish line a long way ahead of the British boat. Repe- tition of the collision which did so much to spoil yesterday's race is highly improba- ble, so the chances are that Valkyrie has won for the first and last time against De- fender. Unbiased reports from eye-wit- nesses are unanimously to the effect that Defender was seriously delayed by the ob- structive and improper presence, directly in the course, of an American steamer. Whenever there are yacht races of any importance there always come just such complaints as have been Jodged against the vessel that yesterday offended so cor- spicuously. Every one, of course, under- stands the general desire to see the race from the most advantageous position, but it is difficult to imagine a fair captain— ro matter what his nationality—doing what one captain did yesterday to interfere with an international contest of so much im- portance. The committee controlling the races should strive to make such arrange- ments with steamboat captains as will prevent in the future interference like that which disgusted so many people yes- terday. —____ + ++ _____ An act of the Legislative Assembly, print- ed as existing law in Abert’s Compilation of District Statutes, requires the Baltimore and Ohio road “to keep in the daytime at every point where any public street crosses the railroad track or tracks, a person sta- tioned with a red flag, and in the evening until arrival and departure of the last train at night, at all the street crossings a per- son with a flag and lighted lamp or lan- tern, with red glass, to give warning of the approach of the locomotive engines and railroad cars of any descriptions, under the penalty of ten dollars for every time, &c.” What is there to prevent its application? If the poljce regulations on the same subject are invalid, are they not also powerless to alter this provision of the previously exist- ing law? —____+ ¢ +.
