THE EVENING STAR, MONDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1895-TWELVE PAGES. THE: EVENIN YG STAR. WASHINGTON. MONDAY, i¢:October 28, 1895. CROSBY §. NOYES. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Famfly Circulation much more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium tt hasno ae t7Im order to avoid deinys, on ac- eount of personal absence, letters to THE STAR shoald not be addressed te any individual connected with the e at simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. a <= The Grade Crossings. The District.Gommissioners aimed a hard Blow at the grade-crossing evil when they adopted their order Saturday compelling all steam: railroad trains to be brought to a halt before crossing rapid-transit street-car Ures. The regulation will have a double effect, and in both ways it will be greatly bereficial. In the first place the present danger that confronts.:the patrons of the three largest street-car lines in the city ‘will be reduced very largely. No longer, if this order 1s enforced, will the passengers on every cable or electric train on Seventh and Four-and-a-half streets in the south- west, and Delaware avenue and First street in the northeast, be subjected to the peril of death or maiming whenever the tracks at grade are crossed. And then the effect of this order may bring the railroads to a Tealizing sense of the needs of the hour. They have for years been in the possession of valuable privileges and kecure in the be- lief that they are so strongly entrenched that they can never be ousted or compelled to reform their terminal arrangements. But if they are to be put to the great disad- vantage of being obliged to bring all trains to a full stop before reaching their stations they will perhaps begin to see the economy of a present expenditure for the installation of a plant that will avoid all such delaying recessities, and even permit their trains to ren at increased speed, if necessary, through the city. As the street-car and steam road lines are now laid out it will be impossible to bring a train into the city without a full halt. From the south, north, ewst and west all the traffic fs subjected to this simple but effective rule. If the rail- rcud companies will but see the advantage of some scheme of track elevation or de- pression they can soon avoid all complica- tions and afnoyatices. Perhaps the Com- missioners might hasten the day of change by promulgating a very proper order com- pelling’'trains t> stop before crossing cer- tain populous thoroughfares, regardless of the fact that they are not occupied by street-car tracks. The roads, it is thought, will show their contempt for the new rules at once by deliberately ignoring them, and then the need will be for a vigourous prose- ctition by the officials of the three street- car Ines affected by the present grade- crossing evil..The -Star and’ the citizens have fought this battle for years and if this order can but be enforced some measure of victory will have heen won and the forcey arrayed against the stubborn corporations Will be encouraged. ns : _ A Dangerous Park. - The inadequacy of the force of watchmen and policemendn the Capitol grounds has received another ‘ustraticn. Last night. so It ts reported, “& young man was “held rim«tha park by three robbers and re- Tievea of his valuables. This occurred in the nortawest ecrner of the reservation, neara brilliantly Jighted and usually well ogcupied thoroughfare. But the trees are so dense, the illumination se poor and the Police force so insufliclent, that almost any part of the park is a rich and safe ‘eld for She thug or the ‘fiighwayman. Not many months ago a man commitred suicide ty sbooting himself in the park neay a fre- queguly ased. waik, and the body Ixy unno- ticed for several hours, while the watch- men were in utter ignorance of the aftair. Small. blame..can-attach to the officials in charge of the watch force ard the police- men, ‘nor to the men themselves, as the number allowed by taw Is ridiculously small in ‘comparison with the amonnt of terri- tory-torte rovered. If the park wore clear of, trees, and. shruas,-or if it were so locat=d that ‘its walks were not used as thorough- fares;the necessity of more coraplete police errangements.-would not be sc great. But ag It is the commonest sense of protection should ‘trge” the appropriation committzes to at least.dowble ths force and proviie for @ much more complete system ef Mumina- tior. The Capitol park should he as safe for men, wemen or children as any part of Pennsylvania avenue, at all hours of day or night, ‘atid’ uiitil it is made so by means of adequete funds, such incidents as that Of iast night will be common and the city will get the reputation uf affording a se- cure harbor for foot-pads and ruffians. ——_—__ e 2 —____ Robert T. Lincoln says in answer to a Suxgestion of his name as a candidate for the presidency, “I can imagine no greater misfortune to befall me than to become President of the United States.” Mr. Lin- coln speaks from wide observation. He is the son of a President and he himself as Secretary of War has had a chance to gee the drawbacks of occupying the White House. Reed, Whitney, McKinley, Hin, Morrison, Harrison, Stevenson, Wilson and other candidates named for ihe sidency shogld pause and reflect. They should carefully consider the question Whether the presidency is worth: having, with all the annoyances and discomforts of the office pointed out by Mr. Lincoln. —-—_ += ~-—_ The suggestion made by some of ‘he English papers that England and the United States should form a friendly al- liance against the rest of the world recalls the famous partnership between the monkey and the cat, the outcome of which is graphically told by that talented his- torian Mr Esop. Not any alliance for us Mr. Bull.

John Law's schemes never attained the immense popularity that has come to Barney Barnato, the lucky circus per- fcrmer, who “struck it rich” In the South African gold fields and returned to London @ multi-millionaire. It may be that these speculations are all substantial at present, but the almost incredible volume of money that has been poured into them by people of all classes serves to make shrewd and @onservative financiers on this side of the Atlantic, as well as in England, doubt the stability of the boom. The investments in the variovs stocks that have been placed on the market on the basis of the recent dis- coveries in the gold fields of South Africa @ggregate millions upon millions of dollars, end {t stands to reason that this Is too large a sum to be safely risked on enter- Prises that are so far away from home, especially when the only guarantee, prac- tically, of real value is the authority of Bernato himself, who is at present on the Bigh tide of wealth and popularity. One statement gives it that the nominal capital of a dozen of the most conspicuous ef. these Properties is a little short of ninety-four million dollars, while their market value on the ist of October was a trifle over six hun- dred and twenty-four million dollars. But a sharp reaction came and in a very short time the market value of these properties shrank to one hundred and twenty million dollars, showing the extreme tenderness of the stock and its liability to reflect popular apprehension. It is stated on excellent au- thority that this Kaffir market dominates the London stock exchange and the Paris and Berlin bourses, the three great com- mercial centers of Europe, and, with the exception of New York, of the world. There is no reason to bewail the fact that the Kaffir fever has so far been confined to the other side of the Atlantic, for it is to be dreaded. There is no lack of legitimate ob- jects of investment for idle capital in this country, and a speculative craze such as that which it at present booming Kaffir stocks is a most.unwholesome kind of com- mercial activity. The Mississippi and South Sea bubbles were great disasters, but even the wide-spread effects of those swindles will become dwarfed in comparison with the distress that will inevitably result in the event of the collapse of the Kaffir boom. ——_—__ ee _____ Flagmen Are Needed. While the collision between an electric car a4 a hose-cart yesterdcy afternoon may have heen the cause of a personal error on the part of the motorman on the car, it emphasizes the need of greater pre- caution and more -tzective arrangements to. prevent accidents at various points in the cily where rapid-transit car lines Inter- sect. The junction at Ninth street and Pennsylvanian avenre, the crossing at New York avenue and Fovrieenth street and that at New York avenue and Ninth street should be equipped with flasmen to pre- vent the cars of the various lines from col- Kding and causing great lamage. At these points today there is nothing to ensure safety from a disaster exc2pt the under- standing between motormen and gripmen that certain rules of precedence shall be followed. Some day a mistake such as might easily be made by men whose minds are occupied with the business of running street-cars wili result in a terrible accident, and then, doubtless, the flagmen will be stationed at these dangerous places. No other system will afford a guarantee of safety to the passengers in the cars. —_ e+ -____ Did any one ever suppose that Chicago would be willing to copy after St. Louis? and twenty years behind her, too! Yet a real estate hoomer of the windy city pro- poses to agitate the question of removing the national capital from Washington to that place. The tdea will be sure to stike Congress favorably.

A new pane of glass had been put into the city post office which showed that the city was growing steadily. This was funny, of coutse, hut Mr. Nye is not as close observer as a professional newspaper writer should be, for with only the few men at work It will be many a day before the first pane is put in place.
