In the course of an argument yesterday before the Commissioners the Washington manager of the Western Union Telegraph Company asserted that he and the Com- missioners would be buried long before the overhead wires. This serves well to show that the telegraph companies are going to do nothing about the matter unless com- pelled to do so. They are going ahead with their so-called improvements, consisting of stringing “more wires, consolidating lines end erecting large poles in place of small ones, and are year by year making the streets as unsightly as possible. These wires are not dangerous in themselves by reason of their electrical currents, but they contribute to the danger that the poles and wires of various kinds create in case of fire. The consolidation of lines makes the poles heavier and more of a blot on the landscape, while the weight of the pole itself makes it exceptionally men- acing. If it were true that there is no efficient means of maintaining conduits for electrical wires, the position of the com- pany would be tenabie, but there is today no real difficulty about the transmission of currents underground, as shown by the positive experience of the electric lighting companies now operating many miles of heavily charged wires under the city’s streets with success and economy. In the present case the contention of the com- pany that the suburban streets that are sought to be occupied by the line of poles are to be considered as “post roads” under the laws of 1866 and 1884, though ingen- fous, 1s forced, and should not be admitted by the Commissioners. These streets are as far from being “post roads” as Massa- chusetts avenue or 14th street, for they are in every respect city thoroughfares, except that they are by chance located be- yond the very mythical urban boundary that the city outgrew years ago. It will be unfortunate if the attorney for the Dis- trict should be coMpelied by the literal wording of the statutes to hold in favor of the right of the company to erect poles at pleasure. > ¢ = —__—_ The Postmaster General's Opportunity A great deal can be accomplished by Postmaster General Wilson toward placing the entire postal service within the protec- tion of the civil service law under .the order signed yesterday by the President. This gives him a wide authority, and his record as a friend of reform in the public service warrants the belief that he will exercise it judiciously and seek to bring ebout the change that is so greatly to be desired gradually and not so harshly that the benefits of the new order of things will be obscured. When the postmasters are made public servants instead of political workers, when the work of the service is performed by men of experience instead of by favorites of the party in power regard- less of their fitness, then will the mail car- rying and distributing business of the country be on a sensible business basis. One by one the bulwarks of the spoils sys- tem are falling and it shows how favorably the merit plan has impressed the people at large when the politicians hesitate to undo the work of reform already accomplished by repealing the laws that have gradually stripped them of their petty patronage. The scheme to place the postal business on a new basis with an organization of large local districts controlled from the great cities as central points is of course ex- perimental and {ts purpose is to facilitate the enormous work which is continually in- creased by the growth of population and the decline of literacy. The plan may, however, be utilized to inaugurate the movement for a postal civil service that will be highly beneficial. —__ +e ____ Spain has been able to prevent Cuba from becoming a part of this country.

Washington needs no arguments to show that in the matter of such necessary im- provements as the abolition of grade-cross- ings the railroad companies® at fault will never do anything to reduce the evil of their own accord. The local experience has shown that reforms in this direction are accomplished at the cost of long and per- sistent effort on the part of the citizens and the authorities, when the latter are in sym- pathy with such a movement. The city of Buffalo, N. Y., has been struggling with this problem since 1856, when the first move made toward abolishing grade-crossing: That city, as the terminal of a number of Failroad systems, suffers severely from these Menaces to life and property, and the sit- uation is complicated by the fact that not only do the raflroads cross the streets at grade and at various angles, but many tracks cross each other at grade, while over some of the roads are the elevated tracks of other steam lines, thls giving rise to the most compiex system of trackage possible. In an je in a recent issue of the En- gineering News It is shown that the failure of the first plan for the relief of the track trouble, proposed in 1856, was due to the un- willingness ef the New York Central to com- metce such a work, and the lack of power on the part of the city to force it to do so. But the subject was kept alive for several years by the occasional killing or maiming rsons at crossings, and in 1887 a public § was held, at which a new plan was ed, but again the raflroad companies, Row more numerous, objected, and, as a re- sult, this meeting came to naught. “It had now become plain to those who had watched these matters up to this time,” Says the Engineering News, “that the rall- ways would do nothing voluntarily, and that legislative enactment would be re- quired, creating a commission for the pur- pose, clothed with power to adopt plans, make contracts and apportion cost when- ever en agreement could not be reached be- tween the city and the railways.” In May, 1888, a bill was passed by the state legislature looking to the relief of the city, and a commission was appointed, but little success was had, as it was found that the commission had too little original au- thority, and in 189) an amendatory act gave this body more positive rights. Yet ‘the railroad companies continued to oppose all propositions, and in 1802 the arbitrary powers of the commissioners were still fur- ther enlarged. It was found that oppesition to the plans came from residents of the part of the city more seriously affected by the evil, and it was the opinion of the commis- sioners that this demonstration was insti- tuted by the railroads themselves. After long negotiations a plan has been finally adopted by the commissioners, and the work is now being carried out, involving a cost to the railroad companies of over $10,000,000. The railroads agree, under pressure of leg- islative enactment, to pay the entire cost of raising or depressing the tracks, as well as of constructing subways and. viaducts with- in their property lines, one-half of all proved damages to property interests, two- thirds of the cost of constructing ap- proaches to subways and viaducts, and one- half of all proved damages to property caused by changes in the grades. It will thus be seen that the railroad companies have at length been forced to bear the now great burden of remodeling their terminal systems, a cost that would probably have been less by a great percentage had the original agitation of 1856 been successful and the subsequent increases in the track systems ‘been in accordance with the plan that was then proposed. The increase of property values, owing to the great spread of the city, has naturally added to the ulti- mate cost, and this experience will be dupli- cated in Washington just as surely as the railroads persist in ignoring the fact that these improvements are absolutely essential and that they cannot be permanently post- pored. ———_+ + _____ Mr. Croker'’s Change of Plans. It is announced that Mr. Richard Croker has decided not to return to England, there to assume permanently the role of a coun- try gentleman, but to remain in-New York. This determination, it is conced2d, dates from that hour Tuesday when it became apparent that the Tammany ticket in the city had pulled through and that the tiger had been restored to life. This conjunction of facts presents an altogether entertain- ing effect. Mr. Croker as an “English gen- tleman” would soon forget and he forgot- ten. He might, it is true, bulld up a sort of cockney Tammany Hall somewhere on the Isles, and teach the Britons a thing or two about modern mun al government, with occasional demo: tions ‘of “how to get ii Or he might rest in peace on his ancestrai estates, purchased with some of “it” from an impecunious rember of the nobility, a fine example of Gotham tarift and industry. But this pleasing picture is spoiled now by the success of Tammany in New York, meager though it may be when compared with former occasions. Mr. Croker will, of course, aspire to no public office. He never held one, be it known. He found that office-holding, profitable as it was to some, could not he compared with office-giving, and, although the amount of public ple to be passed around as a result of this election Is small and may be reduced by republican legislation this winter, Mr. Croker is not the man ito yield the- pie- knife to any other distributor. Next year there may be a larger menu, and then Mr. Croker, as chief pie-passer, will be greatly in evidence, unless the people conclude to grant him permission to pass his days in England without interruption. +32 __ Mushroom Booms. The usual crop of presidential booms has sprung up from the fertile soil of an over- whelmirg party victory at the polls. Al- ready the zealous friends of Governors- elect Bradley, Bushnell and Lowndes are busily ‘advertising their availability for chief or second honors in the presidential race, but it is notable that the managers of the genyine booms, such as those that pertain to Messrs. Reed, McKinley, Harri- son, Allison, Morton and other republican possibilities, do not exhibit any undue evi- dences of alarm, but are rather disposed to foster these local ebullitions of en- thusiasm for their own purposes. While some excellent vice-presidential timber may have been cut out by the successes of Tues- day yet it is altogether improbable that the men who headed the successful tickets in the states that have gone republican will be accredited by their party six months hence with sufficient responsibility for these performances to warrant their selec- tion for the highest national honors. —_—_ + 02 --___ Mr. Platt and Mr. Quay cannot have failed to notice a disposition on the part of the voting public to mind its P's and Q’s more closely than formerly. —____ + ++_____ The success of the underground tralley- wire should make the underground tele- graph and telephone wire institutions of the near future. ———_+ +o If Consuelo and the duke will begin by economizing, and keep house instead of boarding, they will surely be very happy.

Cor. Baltimore Sun. ‘The statement is made on good authority that within the past week or two there has been a general agreement upon the republi- cans of Virginia to support Thomas B. Reed for the republican presidential nomination. This has been done without any particular effort upon the part of Mr. Reed’s friends to produce such a result, and is rather the effect of a sentimert growing out of the re- lations which Mr. Reed nas maintained with prominent republicans of the state, and will enter into, with others, as speaker of the next House. In faet, the sentiment has swept over Virginia, while those who have been, in a measure, responsible for it have been prac unconscious of its growth. It now includes, it is believed, al- most all the promitient republican leac and rity of their followers. general is it that a Reed delegation from the State is thought to be ured, ro mati what efforts the friends of other candida make to prevent. ——__~ ee 5 Watching the Underground System.
