THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY............September 20, 1893. CROSBY S. NOYES. : THE EVENING STAR has a regular permanent Family Circulation uch more tham the combined cir- eulation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has mo competitor. olm order toe i absence, letters to met be addressed Mected with the omMice, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. = Public Business Should Be Transacted Publicly. Once more has the inexcusably-secretive policy of the District Commissioners be- come conspicuously prominent. It is a pity that the Commissioners—or a majority of them—will not understand that they cannot conduct public affairs with that degree cf privacy which fs possible In mercantile or professional life. This fact the board ts unwilling to recognize, and its remarkable unwillingness has led it to sundry more or less successful endeavors to prevent the Publication of information that :t had no shadow of right to coriceal from those whose agetit, in the concrete, the board is. It is true—and sometimes it seems unfor- tunately so—that the Commissioners are not directly responsible to the people of the District of Columbia or anywhere else, but the manner of their selection. does not offer any morally-strong excuse for the assump- tion of autocratic powers such as have several times been displayed, and always to the discredit of the improperly-secretive officials. In such a matter as the one which has resulted*in another ukase at the District building the Commissioners. need not look for sympathy from the public, for ¥ publicity causes suffering in the board of Commisioners then the public would be content to have the Commissioners suffer continually. The present complaint of the Commissioners—or a majority of -hem—is directed against The Star because The Star made exclusive publication of the schedule of street improvements for the next fiscal year. The printing of that valuable piece of news caused a sudden and material in- crease in the Commissioners’ :orrespon- dence and considerable accessions to the number of those who wait with marvelous meekness the pleasure of the Commission- ers who are on duty, or the belated coming of the Commissioner who devotes himself to the public businéss as soon as seems unto him advisable after his personal in- terests have received liberal attention. Of course it would be very much more pleas- ant for the Commissioners if things could be so arranged as to render possible the transaction of all public business without the knowledge or consent of those whose only legal privilege is the paying of taxes, but until 1t becomes the American practice to elect Presidents for_six or seven terms in succession such procedure as that which the Commissioners undoubtedly regard as the Ideal thing willbe unpopular and prac- tically Impossible. Strenuous endzavor was made to keep the public generally in tgnor- ance as to the street-extension plans, end for awhile it seemed as though the star- chamber ‘hethod of extenting the :apital’s highways would be.successfully operated, = but som2how or other the plans :scaped. from their keepers and were made known to the many thousaads of interested resi- dents. If The Star was inclined to be apol- ogetic it might say that it deeply regretted being the cause of additional labor for the board of Commissioners, but inasmuch as the Members of that board were appointed for the purpose of transacting freely and fully, with the popular consent, all public business delegated to them by Congress, no one need make excuses for doing any- thing likely to result in compelling the Commissioners to ve up to the specifica- tions of their contract with the public. —_—___+ ++—__—_ Better Service With Less Trolley. ‘Phere: does ‘riot ¢eém"to’ be any ‘ikelihvod of revolt against horse-cars by those peo- Ple-who regularly patronize the Eckington and Séldiers” Home Street Railroad Com- pany. .Not so tong ago petitions were being circulated which alleged that the removal of the trolley poles and wires on New York avenue would seriously interfere with the business and social life of a large number of persons who reside in the vicinity of that road and who depend mainly upon it for transportation faciiities to and from the city. The demolition of the trolley in- side of the city limits has brougat about extension of the horse-car service from the ‘Treasury to the northern edge of Florida avenue, and this extension has rendered unnecessary a transfer which was the al- most legitimate cause of a steady current of strong language. The trip from Ecking- ton to 15th street is now being made in from ten to fifteen minutes less time than it used to be done in when the trolley cars transferred Eckington passengers at New York avenue and Sth street. People unac- quainted with the conditions may find it somewhat difficult to figure out how even briskly-moving horses can make hetter time than the rushing trolley cars, but the fact nevertheless remains that the old- fashioned new system is much more satis- factory in point of speed than was the combination of trolley and horse-car when it Was at its best. ——_+-++____ Preserve the Big Battleficlds. What kas been done to preserve the bat- tlefield of Chickamauga should be done in Many other localities where for awhile during the war period the interest of the then divided nation centralized. It would, of course, be absurd to provide for the preservation of all the battlefields, but there would be comparatively little diffl- culty in making government reservations of the more prominent scenes of conflict. All that ts needed ts a little legislation, and this can be had without difficulty if the matter is taken up with the earnestness that has characterized General H. V. Boyn- ton’s activity in behalf of the Chattanooga- Chickamauga Park. There ts nothing sec- tional in such memorials of the days of fratricidal strife as are Chickamauga and Gettysburg. Veterans of the north and south meet in those places as on neutral ground and find in their latter-day inter- change of incident and opinion material out of which proceeds an intensified patriotism and love of country. ——__ — + «2 —-___ A number of suggestions are floating Ken- tuckyward to the effect that while politics + and political economy make a pretty team for the band-wagon they do not always work together in an emergency. —_—$_~+eo—____ It is still a little early for the democratic campaign songster to be looking around for gcod rhymes for “third term.” —____* ¢ =—_______ Hoboken’s Responsibility. It will be a truly awful thing if a mere sergeant of police up in Hoboken should embroll this country In a war with Ger- tany, but such a possibility is not entirely Yemote. Saturday last there arrived in this country one Baron Erlanger, whose resi- dence, when he is at home, is Berlin. Among the many valuables imported by the baron was a pet dog, and this pet dog was playfully disporting himself In front of the Hoboken hotel graciously patronized by the baron when the Hoboken pound-keeper meandered along. Now the average pound- keeper {is totally blind to everything but dogs and goats and such other varieties of the animal kingdom as are apt to stray id delays,-on ac- | around the streets of towns and villages without any apparent concern as to the municipal regulations which say that such things shall not be. The pound-keeper’s vision speedily made the pound-keeper aware of the fact that this dog—owner then unknown—was not decorated with a tag, therefore the pound-keeper gathered kim in. The Baron Erlanger at once be- came frantic, and either by reason of ‘supe. rior physical development or the possession of greater skill as a wrestler, upset the pcund-keeper and rescued the dog. At this, point a policeman interfered and the imme- diate result was a procession in which the’ policeman, the baron, the-pound-keeper and. the dog were the prominent features. At the police station the baron was polite ercugh when the sergeant at the desk asked him his name, smiled and responded Promptly as to his age, bowed and said “Berlin” when Inquiry was: made as to his place of residence, but when the sergeant in his off-hand, Hoboken way ejaculated “Where do you work?” he hoiled over with wrath unspeakable and almost exploded in his infuriated endeavors to find words in. any modern language capable of making plain to the sergeant his disapproval of the irritating question. He paid the customary fine for his tagless dog and departed. There will be no trouble at all over the yery preper vigilance of the pound-keeper, nor are international complications probable as @ result of the policeman’s collaring the baron and moving him with undue rapidity in the direction of the police station, but the chances are that blood alone—and in such quantities that even the hardiest of Tkdian fighters to be found in a circus Parade must shudder at the mere thought of so much slaughter—will wipe out the in- sult thoughtlessly projected by that un- @iplomatic police sergeant at Hoboken. —__see — Wilmarth & Edmonston, Crockery, &c., 1205 Pa.
