Granting them the credit of sincerity in their utterances, the offers made by the rival street-railway presidents at the hear- ing before the District Commissioners ap- Pear to indicate that the day of universal free transfers is close at hand. These offers must be taken seriously, for they were made on an official occasion, before the best of witnesses, and though they have no present binding force they should be taken by the national legislators as a direct hint to press a measure establishing such a system as will enable the people of the District to ride all over the local ter- ritory at a minimum of cost. This would give all the advantages of an entire con- solidation of the lines with none of the dangers of such a transaction. There is now pending before the Senate District Committee a bill introduced December 11 by Chairman McMillan which reads as fol- lows: “That the lawful rate of fare upon all street-car lines in the District of Co- Jumbia shall not exceed five cents for each passenger, ang the companies operating, or hereafter operating, such lines shall, by proper system of transfers, transport each passenger over such lines for the single fare paid by such passenger upon the In- itial line, ete. This phraseology may need some expansion to make it absolutely plain that a system of free universal or recip- rocal transfers is intended by the proposed law, but the bill will serve admirably for the basis of an enactment which will meet the pronounced wishes of the two rival Presidents. Whatever disposition is made of the opposing claims for territory the leg- islation settling the question should be made broad enough to include some defi- nite provision in the line just suggested, and.the company that is finally granted the desired privileges should be required to give some return to the people in the way of increased transfer facilities. The same conditions may be attached to the grant of extensions to other lines asking such privi- jeges from Congress, or applied to all the roads by a general free-transfer law. —+ 22 ___ Benefits From a Misunderstanding. ‘The row Detween the electric light com- panies and the dispute between one of them and the Commissioners have a practical value just at present. They focus attention directly upon the need of legislation re- quiring that all electric wires of every de- seription should be placed underground without delay, not only in the city but in the settled suburbs as well. It will not do for the corporations to declare that suburb- an conduits are unnecessary because of the lack of present settlement in certain places beyond the boundary. It is an acknowledged fact that the territory outside of the old city limits is the future residence séction of Washington and this is the test possible time for providing that territory with mod- ern conditions. It is certainly a bad in- vestment to permit any antiquated systems of transportation, fllumination or other public conyenience to establish themselves in the regions that in some parts are as well settled as the main city and that will in a few’ years become populous in every section. Whoever may be victorious or may be defeated or discredited as the outcome of this dispute, the citizens ought to reap the benefit of improved conditions and of legislation that will make such com- plications impossible in the future. It is an ill wind that blows no one good. ————__ +++ ___ The Schools Need the Library. In a direct and important manner the proposition to establish a free municipai library in Washington bears upon the wel- fare of the public schools of the District. It was therefore most appropriate that the school trustees should add their forinal ap- proval to the general ‘sentiment in favor of the speedy passage of thea library bill and its enactment into law. The school children form a very large proportion of those in the District who will be directly benefited by the establishment here under official auspices of a free reading room and circulating library. They need books of the right sort to read, as a supplement of the public school instruction which teaches them how to read. The public school and the public library are co-operating factors |" in the work of popular education. The schools are today poorly provided with library facilities, when their real needs are considered, and the lack that is so sorely felt can only be supplied by some such in- stitution as that proposed in the pending billig. The unanimous endorsement of the trustees, representing the Interests of more than sixty thousand children of school age in the District, should have weight with Congress. ———_- +s __ The establishment of a system of inter- national arbitration would be in the nature of @ timely assurance to benighted oriental countries that civilization does what it ad- Vertises, —~+s+___ The President very naturally resents an impression that J. Pierpont Morgan has been an equal collaborator with him in moulding the doctrines of this country. Coincident with the efforts now being made to convince Congress that liberality in providing for coast defenses is wisdom there will doubtless be much objection to the expenditure of even a modest sum upon such preparation and armament as ancient and modern history and the conditions of tcday declare to be necessary. Official re- ports, almost without number, have laid bare our deplorable helplessness while ex- perts In fortification have suppiled far-see- ing patriots with material for arguments that cainot be successfully assailed by ad- vecates who hold that national stingines is a virtue and that national helplessness in matters military and naval is at once desirable and conducive of everlasting peace. But until recently there has been remarkable listlessness as to the fortifying of our harbors, and not until an actual war feeling was aroused did the American peo- fle take any evident interest in such state- wents as are to be found in the latest re- Port of the Secretary of War. It is fre- quently an easy task to establish what are Practically parallels of history but not of- tem do the lines run so closely together as do those of 415 B.C. and A.D. 1896. It is a far ery from the Syracuse of pre-Christian times to the United States of today but there is a lesson to be learned from the ex- Periences of those whos: descendants are best known in this country as peddlers of fruit and candy. The Syracusans of 415 B.O. have been described by Creasy as a bold and turbulent democracy; in numbers and spirit fully equal to their rivals, the Athenians, but far inferior to them in mili- tary and naval discipline. “When,” says Creasy, “the probability of an Athenian in- vasion was first publicly discussed at Syra- cuse, and efforts were made by some of the wiser citizens to improve the state of the Bational defenses, and prepare for the tm- pending danger, the rumors of coming war nd the proposal for preparation were re- ceived by the mags of the Syracusans with scornful incredulity.” Precisely as the peo- ple of this “bold and turbulent democracy” would today regard the threat of invasion by Great Britain. There was a Holman in old Syracuse; an erator who bade his countrymen dismiss with scorn the visionary terrors which a set of designing men among themselves strove to excite, in crder to get power and influence thrown into their own hands. A Portion of one of his speeches reads as though it might have been delivered in the House of Representatives by his Hoosier Prototype. Said he, amid applause: “Even if the enemies were to come, so distant from their resources, and opposed to such a power as ours, their destruction Would be easy and inevitable. Their ships will have enough to do to get to our sland at all, and to carry such stores of all sorts as will ke needed. They cannot therefore carry, besides, army large enough to cope with such a population as ours. They will have no fortified place from which to commence their operations, but must rest them on no better base than a set of wretched tents, and such means as the ne- cessities of the moment will allow them. But, in truth, I do not believe that they would even be able to effect a disembarka- tion. Left us, therefore, set at naught these reports as altcgether of home manufac- ture; and be sure that if any enemy does come, the state will know how to defend itself in a manner worthy of the national honor.” In spite of these misleading assurances the Athenians did invade Sicily and made things exceedingly unpleasant for the peo- ple of Syracuse, who doubtless wished a thousand times that they paid no heed to the utterances of their Holman and his as- scciates. And how fs it as to coast-defense in this country today? -Secretury Lamont says that if the appropritions for the engineer work are to continue at the rate of the arnual apropriations since 1890, it will re- quire seventy years to complete the em- placements and platforms for the arma- ment of the eighteen important ports for which complete defensive projects have been approved. By about July next there will be in stock a total number of 137 twelve, ten and eight-inch guns, but for these there will only be 55 carriages, while ouly 34 emplacements will be ready; which teans that 113 guns will be useless because they will be without emplacements.: As a matter of fact, there are now but three modern guns mounted and in place in the United States—two in New York and one in San Francisco—and this condition is the result of Congressional niggardliness for which reasonable excuse cannot be offered. The people of Syracuse—who were their own rulers 9s are the people of the United ‘States—were not a whit more foolish than this nation has been and still is. —_——- +2__. Mr. Cleveland’s Denials. Although written as a private communi- cation, President Cleveland's letter to Sen- ator Caffery, under date of last Sunday in reference to the bond issue, since an- nounced, must be regarded as a public doc- ument and as a semi-official defens2 of the admiristration from the charge that there is or has been an understanding between the Treasury Department and the New York syndicate of bankers. So far as the English language can go, this letter con- tains a flat and unequivocal denial of the assertion that Mr. Morgan or any other banker or financier has been taken into the confidence-of the Treasury. Department in the matter of a bond issue. The President, however, after completely covering the sit- uation by a series of emphatic negatives, declares that “those charged with the re- sponsibility of maintaining our gold re- serve have anxiously conferred with each other, and, as occasion permitted, with those having knowledge of financial af- fairs and present monetary conditions, as to the best and mcst favorable means of selling bonds for gold.” To the suspicious mind this might leave a loop-hole, but for the unqualified denials contained in the early part of the letter. It is notable that the President declares that the adminis- tration has “a decided leaning” toward a porular loan, and to the friends of such a measure of finance this should be reassur- ing. Incidentally, the President makes an inferential defense of the secret issue of last February by drawing a comparison be- tween the state of the gold reserve now aad at that time, thus implying that the private arrangement with the Morgan syn- dicate In 1895 was the result of necessitous conditions that do not now exist. ——__~++=2____ District matters in the Senate may be expected to be lively from the present time to the end of the session. Today's meeting of the committee was a good beginning. Senator Faulkner gave evidence of having been actively at work while the committee was being reorganized by presenting a valuable report on the question of the dis- posal of children by will. The material which he has collected seems to shed a new light on the District statutes in respect to this subject. Some of the diamond robberies and di- vorce sensations seem wasted on people who have absolutely no use for the ad- vertisement. —————- e+___.

He says he'll begin next summer. The first thing to do if you are going to skate in this climate is to learn to swim.” What He Relied On. “No, sir,” said the observant man, “there is not going to be any war involving this country.” “How do you know?” “Blufton is beginning to talk about want- ing to enlist and fight.” Lament. It's the way that perversities ever pursue That makes a poor mortal feel tired; For whatever you gain and whatever you It's never just what you desired. An Important Labor. “Now, you're all ready to go ahead and give the performance, are you?” said the marager. “Almost. I'll be in perfect shape in two or three days.” “Great Scott! You .don’t mean to say you haven't learned yeur lines yet!” “Oh, yes. I hava them all pat. But I haven't rehearsed my impromptu speech. yet.” An Enviable Position.
