THE EVENING STAR, WEDNESDAY, ‘NOVEMBER 18, 1895—-TWELVE PAGES. THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY.......November 13, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES. . Editor. ———— THE EVENING STAR has 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. win order to avoid delays, on ac- eount of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should mot be addressed to any individ: connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purposc. — = The Fight is to Go On. ‘The railroad companies whose tracks now occupy the streets of Washington at grade may as well prepare for a vigorous cam- paign this wiater on the question of the elevation or the depression of the rails. ‘There wili essemble next month a rew Congress, composed of some old members and of many rew ones. The subject of grade crossings will be brought to the at- tention of both houses at the earliest pos- gible moment, and the history of the whole long, weary strugsie of the citizens to re- lieve themselves of this nutsance will be get forth tn a manner that can noi fail to attract attention. There is every reason to hope that the problem may be solved. Both of the two great corporations that are the chief offenders in this regard stand prac- tically pledged to amend their track sys- tems so as to avoid grade crossings, and their former plea of hard times, which alone stood In the way of legislation coin- pelling a change, will no longer he toler- ated, for it is mo longer applicable. The Baltimore and Ohio o»mpany has agreed to adopt an overhead system, bringing lis several tracks into the city on a masonry viaduct planned somewhat on the Berlin system, as advocated by The Star. The Pennsylvania company has agreed gener- ally to a change whereby its tracks will be depressed, and has given assurances to certain of the most prominent members of the District committees, in charge of such legislation, that in deference to public opinion the corporation will soon alter Its Yocal track systems. The engineers of both roads have prepared the necessary plans for the promised improvements. It only remains to secure the command to go ahead from Congress. The railroads would be wise to hasten to Meet the citizens half way and to accept legislation that will terminate their pres- ent unrighteous and dangerous occupation of the streets. If, however, there is a strug- gle, possibly the mcst effective method of dealing with the prcblem would be for Congress to pass a bill fixing a date after which grade crossings of steam roads in the city of Washington would be uniawful, and punishable by a heavy penalty. Such a law would at least give a definite assur- ance that the end of the graide-crossing evil was in sight, and whether the term of further endurance should be three years or five, or even six, the question would be 60 near settlement that every local interest would receive the immediate benetit of the legislation. The Star believes the Berlin method of track elevation on masonry viaducts to be the best, and therefore it approves the general plan that has been put forward by the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road, but it is not so wedded to this sys- tem, or Indeed to any particular plan, that it would not weicome heartily any legisla- tion that would give positive promise of a termination of the long and costly fight end the abatement of the grade-crossings nuisance. Congress must share with the railroads responsibility for the loss of life and prop- erty that has been entalled by the delay in adjusting this question. On the shoulders of its members will rest the burden of blame for any further disasters, and it would be well for every in-coming Con- gressman to give this subject early and conscientious attention, for it is a live local issue. ——__+ +e ___ Europe's Anxiety, Turkey continues to occupy the central field of international attention, because of the extremely critical state of affairs in the Ottoman Empire and the impending as- @ault of the five great powers of Europe upon the Sultan to force him to adopt a de- cently humane course towards Armenia. Meanwhile the rebellion in that province, as it has now developed, continues, and Turkey is in a seething ferment. Lord Salisbury endeavored with some success to allay apprehension the other night by his pacific speech at the Lord Mayor’s banquet, and the tone of his remarks served to re- establish confidence on the various ex- changes, which had become greatly agi- tated over the situation. But it seems to be now generally considered that his words were diplomatic and that they concealed a great anxiety over the state of affairs. ‘Turkey’s course Is insolent and far m:ore independent than the Sultan can well afford to have it in view of the pressure that is growing stronger every day for his deposi- tion. ——_—__+ e+ —____ The Philadelphia Record say: ‘If the champions of tariff spcliation did not keen- ly feel the truth of Ambassador Bayard’s description of the evils of protection they would not cry out so loudly.” This question affects not only the be- Nevers in the policy of protection. It in- volves the broader principle of an am- bassador’s duty to uphold the honor and the good fame of his people, and it affects directly ths utility and prestige of that am- bassador in the diplomatic service. Mr. Bayard can not play politician one minute and the representative of the whole people at the British capital the next without in- uring himself in both capacities. —__- + += —___ Lord Durraven does not se2m to realize that he is no longer very interesting; that this country has had an election since the yacht race. If he is really desirous of fig- uring as a serious quantity in affairs, let him buy enother yacht and employ some- body with an ordinary quantity of nerve to take exclusive control of it for regatta purpeses. —__+ + _____ ‘The horse show in New Yerk is so great a@ social ‘88 that there is talk of put- ting the horses into a convenient livery stable, where they will be just as well off, wo as to let the people have more room. ~~ e = —___ There are numerous circumstances which promise that the Cuba-Spain controversy will not have a Corbett-Fitzsimmons wind- up. ——__+ ++ ____ Tammany has escaped with its life, but it is not the bess of the whole jungle that tt used to be. ——_ + e+ —___ The Building Regulations. Important amendments to the building regulations are likely to result from the re- pert cf the committee appointed by the District Commissioners to consider this matter. The city has grown so rapidly in the past few years that the old regulations were in many respects antiquated and in- adequate. The committee's report gives evidence of a careful study of the subject. One of the most important items of the new rules is the establishment of a sched- ule of the different strengths of material used in buildings, which should operate to prevent the use of inferior materials and perhaps to avoid serious disaster. In the matter of foundations, too, the new rules are of special value, particularly in regard to the Hability of the owner of a new builld- ing which adjoins the wall of another structure. Heretofore the owner of the older building was made solely responsible for the safety of his own wall whenever it should be undermined by a neighbor. The injustice of this law has long been appar- ent, and the recommerdations of the amendment committee on this point should be surely incorporated irto the new build- ing code. Such matiers as the preparation of electric wires in precaution against fire and the provision of rules requiring build- ers to care for the safety of their work- men who are obliged to use scaffolds are apt subjects for regulaticn, and the com- mittee has done well to include them. In short, the whole plan of changes appears to be in the interest of safer buildings, and the Commissicners are fortunate in secur- ing such good advice in the preparation of the amendmerts. —___ e = —____ Another “Belt” Lime Change. The Belt street railway company an- nounces that it is compelled, in order to re- duce its losses, to revert to the unpopular, inconvenient, and, in the opinion of many, illegal, plan of maintaining two distinct lines of cars instead of a belt, as contem- plated by the original and secondary acts of Congress granting life to this corpora- tion. The road is so located in the neigh- borhood of rapid transit lines that it can- not possibly compete profitably as long as it insists upon keeping up the obsolete method of propulsion by horses, and this experience should spur the company to extra enterprise in installing one of the several approved electrical or other me- chanical devices without delay. Meanwhile the few remaining patrons of the road, who are forced by reason of their personal con- venience to continue to use the slew cars of the company, are put to the extra dir- comfort and annoyance of this retrograde change in the running of the road. The way for the company to lessen its losses and to most quickly convert them into revenues {is not to move backward, but to move forward: not to cease to expend money in performing the functions of a public carrier, but to spend more money at ‘once upon the suggested pneumatic motors, or gas motors, or any quickly-obtained system of rapid propulsion which will able it to share business with its rapid- transit competitors. Compressed air motors are operated suc- cessfully at several points in Europe. The workings of one in the suburbs of Paris have been described in The Star. There is no more question of their successful opera- tion in this country than there was and is of the success in Washington of a modified form of the electric sysiem used in Buda- Pesth, new operating on Ninth street. The disease known as the overhead trolley blight is beg. ining to be less fatal in American air than it has been to the successful but more expensive systems of street-car propulsion that flourish in Europe. ——____ + + ______ If the Suttan of Turkey had kept himself informed on customs elsewhere he would have taken pains not te get where the other European powers could make him pay for prctection. —___+ ++ _____ Even if Japan should lose a trick or two in ber encounter with the foreign powers, she is, since her engagement with China, playing, as the technical phrase has it, on velvet. —_ + e+ —___ It would be a great satisfaction if these old-fashioned rcbberies by masked high- waymen would only stay inside the yellow- colored novels where they belong. —— -_+e<« ——_ England sends a great many books to this country, of varying degrees of popu- larity and merit. But James Monroe con- tinues to be our favorite author, ee No one can accuse Lord Dunraven of being a “quitter” in the matter of giving expression to his melancholy over the yacht race. = 9 One hundred and two men were at work today on the city post office building. ——__ + + > ____ SHOOTING STARS. “De man,” said Uncle Eben, “dat won’ learn, ’ceppin’ by experience, am mighty li’ble ter spen’ his intiah existence in school.”* Unchanging. “Your age,” said the interviewer, who has more energy than diplomacy,” is twen- ty-seven, is it not?” “Yes,” replied the actress. know?” “I looked over the files of a newspaper in which you were interviewed twenty-five years ago.

An’ de women dat rides bicycles is offerin’ me deir cast-off clothes.” A Reflection. Lives of great men oft remind us, Too much gain may mean but loss, Causing us to leave behind us Only memories of a boss. Timely Precaution. “Have you thought about doing sny Christmas shopping yet?” asked Mr. Hun- nimune, “No, dear; was the reply, “it is a little early for such preparations, isn't it?’ “SUyes, But it's as well to take time by the forelock, you know. Have you a mem- orandum book handy? “Yes. “Well, you might Jot down these little points. Here’s the brand of cigars that I prefer. They cannot by any possibiiity be purchased at a bargain. Here is the num- ber of slipper that I wear, and you might make a note of the fact that my preference in neckties is dark red, with a small black figure, also that I do not need any sus- penders.”” And she thanked him, and wrote it all down, thereby saving no small share of future regrets and embarrassments. Sarcasm. It was 2vidently his first visit to the con- tinuous performance race track, OA these the best horses you have here?” ha inquired of one of the habitues. ‘Ain't dem good enough?” was the sar- ci ¢ rejoiader. “Ain't dey got four legs?

But ef yer jes’ out fur fancy doin’s ye wanter take yer dress suit case an’ yer chrysanthemum an’ take de nex’ New York train fur de hoss show.” Awakening. Where is the lazy laziness, The lilling lack-a-daisyness Of not long ago? With temperature somniferous, And twilights all auriferous, Beneath the sunset glow, ‘Those hours, once blandly humorous, Are filled with duties numerous— - The contrast grieves us sore; But Congressmen are hastening To glory, or to chastening, And business booms once more.
