THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. FRIDAY.............November 15, 1895. CROSBY S. NOYES -Editor. = = THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circuintion much more than the combined cir- vulation of the other Washington dailies, As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should not be addressed to y individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Busi ‘aa ©6=Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. — - Consolidated Street Car Lines. Several weeks ago The Star published an article giving a few notes on the sireet railway transportation facilities of certain other cities, tending to stow that the con- solidation of these interests in any com- munity is disadvantageous to the patrons of the car lines. Since then the people of Philadelphia have begun to feel the grip of the trolley trust grow neavier as the various competing lines have one by one been swallowed until there is today no means of rivalry and no way to check the growth of the monopoly, except by vote of the city council, which unfortunately is completely subservient to the great syndi- cate. The latest act of the trust is the abolition of free transfers that have hith- erto been of great advantage to the poor and the substitution of eight-cent fares for continuous rides over certain combinations of lines. Says the “City and County,” pub- Ushed there: “The people of Philadelphia are having an opportunity just now to witness, as they have never seen before, the extent of the power of the newly formed consolidation of street railways. It is very evident that the people have been suddenly and deeply stirred by the action of the Union Traction Company as hardly anything else could have moved them. For the time being, es- pecially in the northeastern wards, the Union Traction Company is the issue of the day, and unless there shall be a rapid abatement of the antagonistic sentiment, this factor will prove to be one of the most important elements in the next municipal campaign.” As a consequence of this action the peo- ple are talking of legal steps to prevent the abolition of transfers on the ground that the original charters of the roads are being Miolated. This shows clearly that competi- tion is the only thing that can save the dwellers in large cities from oppression, competition on equal grounds of territory, facilities and equipment. Consolidation of main trunk lines should be fought bitterly as the chief agency of the trust, while there should be encouraged and aided all proper steps towards the combination of weak ones, if there still remain competition between large systems. —_- +++ —____ Dr. Whitman’s Inaugural. The ceremonies that are to take place this evening at Convention Hall on the oc- casion of the irauguration of Dr. Whitman as president of the Columbian University will be unusually interesting, not only to the local sons of Columbian, who are numer- ous and Influential, but to the general vub- lic, in view of the bearing of the ceremonics upon the advancement of the capital as an educational center. Dr. Whitman’s coming into the local field is regarded by many as a new and powerful factor for the future development of the capital in-this regard, and he has already given evidence of ex- ceptional ability in the administration of university affairs, so that the friends of Columbian are encouraged to expect a most prosperous future for that Institution. ‘There are no stronger ties with which to bind Washington to the interest and affec- tion of the people of the United States than those which are formed in the youth of the nation who assemble here in attendance upon our educational institutions, and who are to flock to the federal city in ever in- creasing numbers as our great universities develop more and more. The upbullding and enlarged prosperity of any one of its universities means a strengthening of the capital's hold upon the regard and patriotic pride of the American people, so that all Washington takes a lively and reasonable interest in Columbian’s ceremonies tonight. +o Nominations by the Galleries. A close friend of one of the most prom!- nent of the candidates for the republican presidential nomination is quoted as ex- pressing a hope that the convention will be held near the home state of that candidate, for a big railway fare might keep away many of his friends who would otherwise attend the convention and cheer for their favorite. This illustrates fairly well the prevailing idea that a political convention is a failure unless it Is attended by a vast mob of shouters, who exert the full power of their well-trained lungs in an effort to swing the nomination one way or another. These howling “friends” of the candidates are tco often potent factors in the selection of can- didates, and are apt to cause stampedes among the delegates at times when the calmest deliberations should prevail. The party that decides to exclude them from its conventions will be progressing, and will confer a boon upon the country. The news- paper facilities are today so perfect that the Most complete reports of the proceedings are laid before the entire nation within a few hours, and often within a few minutes after the close of eacn session, so that as regards the mere interest in the outcome the People who are at a distance from the con- <¥Yention city are as well Informed as those immediately on the scene. The present ten- dency is to cater more and more to the mobs in the galleries. They annually require larger halls, until architeccural skill is taxed to the limit. This fact stands in the way of many available cities anxious for the honor and privilege of entertaining the gathering, for few of the American cities today possess the monstrous Inclosuras that are supposed to be needed. ————_+ « = ___ General Harrison ts to preside at a mee:- Ing In the interest of foreign missions in New York tonight.

A Brooklyn justice has tackled the fender Question and has brought forth a most re- markable decision. To him were submitted two plain questions: First, whether the mayor and common council had the right to order the rapid-transit car lines in that city to provide fenders; and, second, whether they could lawfully require that these fend- ers should net be so constructed as to be more than three inches from the ground. ‘The justice declared that the auth: doubtedly had the power to enact k that looked to the preservation of life and limb, but that they had no right to deter- mine the height at which the protective de- vices should be ca:ried. In other words, that the railroad co: .panies might violate the ordinance with impunity by providing @ nominal fender, hung at a height which prevented it from being of any service what- THE EVENING, STAR, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 15, 1895-SIXTEEN PAGES. , KANN, SONS & C0, ever. The justice, with Quaint solemnity, averred that there was no fender invented that could comply with the regulation, and that, therefore, the mayor and his covn- cillors had exceeded their authority. The justice should have looked beyond the tip of his own nose, beyond the confines of deadly Fulton street, where the trolley cars are so thick that they form a continuous pro- cession. He might have learned that there are practicable fenders on the market, and that they can be successfully run ahead of rapidly moving cars within the mayor's limitations. At all events, even if the pre- scribed distance from the ground is too short, he should have taken note of the fact that the non-fending fenders that the Brooklyn companies adopted, in defiance of the regulation, have proved absolutely worthless, as the population of Brooklyn, it is recorded, has been decreased by 131 through the agency of the trolley cars since the fenders were adopted. It should be plain even to a modern Dogberry that if the municipality can compel the railroads to equip the cars with any fenders, they can compel the use of fenders that are effective. —_—_~+ ++ —____ The record of grade-crossing accidents presented to the board of trade by its com- mittee on steam railroads shows that the citizens have not been a whit too emphatic in their denunciation of the evil, or too eager In their fight for reform in this direc- tion. A total of 40 deaths and 56 persons injured at the grade crossings of the two reads within four years is shown by the authenticated history, making a total in all of 9€ accidents in that brief period, an averege of 24 each year. — > +=>___.

He was unmistakably a sporting char- acter; his appearance and his conversation both told of the race track. He had known the eminent politician in other days, and with the familiarity of old acquaintance hé said: “Pardner, I see by yer speeches that yer odds. starter.

But he restrained himself admirably and contsnted himself with publishing at the top of the first column of the first page the following: io doubt the reader who sent us a dozen bottles of apollinaris water for subscription meant kindly.

I’m goin’ to hold pack salaries. I'l keep dem on bread and water und Die Gotterdammerung for six weeks, if necessary.” A Complication. The small boy had a restless, unhappy look as he approached the young man who was calling on his sister. “I wouldn't tell anybody but you about it,” he said confidentially. “About what?" “About what's happened to me thought you might help me.” “In what way?” “Do you remember that little bit of a gold watch my sister had?” ‘I was fooling with it, and sister was coming, and I put it in my mouth to keep her from seeing it, and the first thing I knew I swallowed it!” “How long ago?” “This afternoon. If you put your ear down to my chest you can hear me ticking inside.” “You'd better have a doctor.” “Then I'd have to let the folks know. Sister says you have wheels in your head, sometimes; and I thought mebbe you'd tell me what you do fer ‘em, an’ that it might fit this case.” But I Reminiscence, “Times ain't what they useter be,” Everywhere one goe: You git it in yer poetry An’ likewise in yer prose, Anybody knows they ain’t, Fifty years ago Didn't have no ‘lectric cars; Traveled hard an’ slow.

A lady selected a coat from three houses in Washing- ton, had them sent up on approval and came in the next day and re. marked, “The coats sold around Washington look very much alike, but, oh, what a difference when they are laid side by side and compared by a strong light in the quiet of your home.” She kept our coat. While we do not make a practice of send- ing coats home to every one we pro- pose to do it hereafter, for it is only by comparison that ours plainly show their superiority in quality of cloth, the buttons, button-holes, fin- ish of seams, shape in the back, full- ness and set of the sleeves, &c. The fact that our cloak business is way ahead of that of any previous season proves conclusively that more of you are appreciating their stylishness and general superiority.
