The corporation has recently fenced its tracks between the tunnel and the Long Bridge with the exception of this space, which happens to be the most Important part of the entire route, for here flows the greatest traffic across the steam tracks. The citizens of South Washington have repeatedly discussed the question of whether the railroad has the right to use this reservation, and it has been kept alive by newspaper comments trom time to time, so that it is by no means a new issue or one that could have well eséaped official attention. Definite action upon this point might prove to be the turning point of the whole grade-crossing case. To deprive the Pennsylvania road and its southern connec- tons of this means of approach might precipitate such a state of affairs that the corporations now in the enjoyment of grade-crossing privileges would be willing to accept some sort of legislation providing @ solution of the problem by either the ele- vation or the depression of all tracks en- tering the city. The arguments before the court in the matter of the order of the Commiscioners requiring all steam trains to stop before crossing rapid-transit street- car lines have not yet been delivered aud accordingly the case hangs in statu quo while the trains vlow through the city at lugh speeds without regard to the rights of citizens or of local corporations. It will not do for the Pennsylvania road to claim im- munity from public criticism or from re- formatory legislation on the ground that it bas sought to protect life by fencing in the most of its urban trackage, for it has left unfenced the most vital point of all the line, and, according to a local inapector who has just made a report to the Com- missioners, there is no watchman on duty at the reservation occupied by the railroad to warn pedestrians of approaching ‘rains. The convergence of tracks at this point makes it exceedingly dangerous, and in- stead of the present unprotected condition it snould be placed at once, as it should have been years ago, in such shape that the danger to life and limb will be surely reduced to the minimum. The value of the entire system of fencing is destroyed if there is one point on the line where per- sons are exposed to danger from the trains. The fact of this break in the poor make- shift safety eppliance granted by the cor- poration as a sop to the citizens should serve to bring the question of the right to occupy’ this reservation directly and finally 40 an issue. ———~+-+____ Short Walks for Congressmen. By this time doubtless aii Congressmen ere thoroughly familiar with the waik from the Capitol along Pennsylvania avenue to the vicinity of the ‘Trecsury Department and all of the new representatives, it is to be presumed, have veen impressed by the fact that with few excepuons the buildings cn the south side of this magnticent thor- cughfare, which for breadth, style of pave- ment and natural opportunities for embel- lishment has no equai in the world, are of a poor character, wholly out of keeping with the general features of the national capital. Some years ago there was broached a propo- sition to locate on the south side of Penn- sylvania, preferably on the upper stretch from Seventh street westward, ail the public buildings newly provided for, and this pian contemplated also the acquisition by the government of the land lying between tie south curb of Pennsylvania avenue and the Mull. Since this idea was first promuigated the necessities of the government in the Une of rew buildings have greatly increased until today there is prcssing need for sev- eral commodious structures to accommodate public bureaus that are now pressed for room or occupying rented quarters. It was only a few days ago that a bill was intro- duced in the Senate for the erection of u Patent office on this territory and the idea that the municipal building should be placed there is by no means new and has attracted favorable attention at different times for a number of years. There is need of more room for the State Department and either that branch of the government or one of its co-terants in the great granite structure west of the White House could be appro- priately placed in the immediate vicinity of the Treasury. The latter department, too, is fm serious need of an overflow structure which will accommodate the various bu- Teaus row scattered outside of the main walls, while the Department of Justice ts imperfectly housed in the old Freedmen’s Bank Building, which is neither a distinct ernament nor a convenient office structure. ‘The plan to erect a hall of records is an old one and the necessities for its existence increase greatly with each year of delay. ‘These buildings, if artistically planned and located with ample grounds and without too marked a tendency to scrape the sky in a mistaken effort to economize the public monies, would make of the avenue what it really deserves to be and what it could easily be made to be, a great national boule- vard lined with buildings commensurate with its historic and present importar ce. +e —— Said Pasha does not wish to seem un- Patriotic but at the same time desires to deal honestly with the life-insurance com- pany with which he does business. ——__++«-e Chicago is turning up her nose and saying that even if St. Leuis did get the conven- tion, it wasn't a bargain. ——__+ es Mr. Schurz’s Address, Ex-Secretary Schurz in his address de- livered last night at the public meeting of the Civil Service League painted what will be readily recognized by Washingtonians as an accurate picture of the trials of an hemest Congressman under the spoils sys- tem of distributing the public offices. He made a powerful argument for a complete expausion of the reform system over all the branches of the government when he demonstrated the corrupting influence of patronage, showing it to be a drag on the high motives of public officials, and a handi- cap on the legislator belonging to the party in power. It was no ideal sketch, but drawn from life. Mr. Schurz has studied the sub- ject of the betterment of the civil service for many years, and fs heart and soul in sym- pathy with the reform movement, which has grown from a weak, unpromising be- ginning to the finally established system that now regulates a great majority of the appointments to office. He knows from per- sonal observation how the administration of the spoils system encroaches upon the valu- able time of cabinet officers, bureau chiefs, Representatives and Senators, and how its displacement by the merit plan of appoint- ments has taken a great burden from the shoulders of all these officers of the govern- ment. There can be no question that the It is c! the practical workings of the reform. The Carger of monarchy, as Mr. Schurz proper- ly suggests, lies in another direction. He presents two possible reasons for a change from a republican to a despotic form of government: “a failure of democratic gov- ernment to afford the necessary protection to indfVidual rights, so that society would turn for that protection to a strong man; or democratic government becoming an in- sirument of private cupidity and falling into the hands of the chief of an organiza- tion looking for plunder.” Few Americans wiil recognize either of these Suggestions as probabilities. There is apparently little fear felt by the people of the nation that the present form of gov- ernment is in the least danger of being soon transformed or corrupted. One of the staunchest bulwarks of the republic today is the reform spirit that pervades every large community and animates the honest voters. The civil service law and its hon- ¢st administration are fruits of this spirit. They are maintained with greater ease as the years are added to their record and each national administration lending its cordial, earnest support to the merit sys- tem gives it a permanency before which the few remaining zealous friends of spoils dis- tribution lose their courage. Some cities way well cry out for relief from the clutches of bosses who sap the resources of the people for their own gain, and Mr. Schurz’s citation of a municipal monarchy will be readily recognized. The local hpss might easily acquire kingly power, and there are numerous instances that closely fit the ex-Secretary’s description. Yet the revival of public spirit among the better citizens has caused a change. Men of af- fairs whose commercial interests have in the past !ed them apart from the politics of their cities are now taking strong ground against local abuses and misrule, and the day of the boss, it is sincerely to be hoped, is nearing an end. Mr. Schurz points out the grave need of continued work in behalf of reform, and his address should encour- age all those who believe with him to re- double their efforts so as to meke the final and complete victory over the spoils sys- tem come the earlier. ——— + es _ Ambassador Bayard’s Edinburgh speech, which is printed in full in today’s New York World, is an elaborated deliverance of sophomoric eloquence on the subject of “Individual Freedom,” which would at- tract no attention whatsoever if delivered in this country by Mr. Bayard or Senator Bayard. The statements which have caus- ed indignation and resentment on this side of the water as belitthng to a British au- dience the Americen people, their laws and institutions, have, it appears, been accur- ately quoted. Mr. Bayard attacks the eight- hour law and trades unionism as well as protection, though American corruption and the degradation of American politics are especially attributed to the latter. It is evident that Mr. Bayard’s idea of the “Individual Freedom” of an Ambassador Tepresenting the people of the United States in a foreign land is much bruader than that entertained by the millions whom he represents. In order that Mr. Bayard might with propriety enjoy to the full his individual freedom, it would seem to be necessary for him to cease to be Ambassador. —___—_.--— The death of Mr. Thurman takes from public view another of the men whose names will be permanently written in the history of the nation. it was his fa. to aspire to and never attain the hignest oilice in the land, but other honors were given him by his people in recoguition of his sterling qualities and his high integrity.
