THE EVENING STAR 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. tlm order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR should net be addressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according to tenor or purpose. Sewers and Street Extension. In 1894 the Board of Trade endorsed, not the details of a bond bill, but the general proposition of a bond issue of a limited and specified amount to complete the proposed comprehensive sewerage system and for urban and suburban street extension and improvement, stipulating “that proportion; ate contribution by the national govcrn- ment toward all of these improvements without exception is a vital feature of the proposed legislation.” There is no indica- tion whatsoever of a change of mind on the part of the Board in respect to the ac- tion then taken. Apparently all of the im- provements then indorsed are still viewed as public necessities, and a bond issue is still considered under existing conditions as the wisest, justest and most economical method of meeting the expense involved in improvements of this character. In the interval, however, between the date of this action and the present through the operations of the highway extension act certain facts and certain indications have developed, and some new issues have arisen. As the proposed extension has taken practical, definite shape the question has been ralsed whether the expense in- volved in carrying the highway law into effect will not be far greater than was criginally anticipated, justifying perhaps a fresh consideration of the subject of street extension appropriations. Moreover the suburban property owners affected by the law's operations have vigorously com- plained that the effect of the highway act as it is worded, construed and applied is to . throw all suburban lines into confusion for an indefinite period, and to render such property almost unsalable and valueless as security for loans, and they plead for re- Hef from this paralyzing uncertainty by prompt legislative action, making or re- fusing to make the appropriations for the various extensions. it is clearly necessary for intelligent con- sideration and action in the matter to have @ reasonably accurate approximate esti- mate of the cust of the extensions, and it is natural to presume that the Commis- sioners have caused such a detailed esti- Mate to be made. If not, this work should be performed immediately and in such a manner as will inspire full confidence in the results reached. If the amount necessary to carry into effect street extension on the comprehen- sive scale proposed turns out to be greater than Congress tainks it wise and advisable to permit the District to expend on this particular improvement, then the highway act should be so amended that the degree and kind of extension which Congress will approve may be carried out, and that such suburban property as will not be affected by the revised extension may be relieved from the incubus of the existing highway law. The street extensicn act is clothed with ro special sanctity. As The Star has in- sisted from the day of its enactment, not one cent shovld be expended in conformity with its provisions until it has been amended, directly or indirectly, so that the United States shall, in accordance with the letter and spirit of the act of '78, pay its just proportion of tkis ecntemplated mu- ricipal expense of the Federal District. The bend bill in effect amends this pro- vision of the highway act, and the Board of Trade in its resolutions of 1894 empha- sized as essential this arrendment. The Com- missioners have already secured amenda- tory legislation of still another provision of this act, and it will rot be at all strange if other defects develop, as its provisions come to be tested, which will call for amendments. There is nothirg in the record of the Board of Trade which will prevent it in consistency from urging and supporting any changes whatsoever in the highway act of which facts, new and old, convincingly demcrstrate the wisdom. The Board of Trade may perhaps be ex- pected at its Friday meeting to reaffirm Its general indorsement of public projects which involve the weifare of both present and fu- ture Washington, and in which the interests of the community as a whole are deeply in- volved, and at the same time to give due consideration to the alleged unjust harsh- ness of the highway act as practically ap- plied in the cases of suburban citizens, and to suggest perhaps the supplementary legis- lative action which justice may seem to re- quire. Wise, harmonious action of this general character would be the natural out- come of the discussion. ——__e + ___. If Congress can find time to consider so minute a matter as the taxation of street musicians, there is surely hope that it will be able to settle a matter of such magni- tude as the erection of a new and safe government printing office. ————“<~++)s__ Some of the New York feople would like to have Roosevelt start in pursuit of dia- mond rotkers or anything else that would threw him off the scent of the viclators of the excise law. ——__++ + _____ If anything had becn needed to convince the world ef the berighted bigotry which dominates Turkey, the rebuff to the Red Cross Society would have been more than sufficient. ———~+-___ There is an unkind tendency to regard Alfred Austin’s success as political rather than artistic. ————_++-____ The administration has at least made a Move toward smashing the bond trust. —__+ e+ __ @ne More Argument Aguinst Grade Crossings. Score another for the deadly grade-cross- ing! One more life has been sacrificed to the murderous system of street occupation by the steam railways, and the record is not yet closed. Again the question of re- spcnsibility bears somewhat upon the question whether or not the gates that are erroneously supposed to guard a dang<rous eressing were open or shut at the time of the accident. The killing occurred after dark, at a place that is much used by ve- hicles and pedestrians. The facts so far known appear to be that the gateman was not attending to his duty at a time when a wsegular train was due from the south. He had turned over his gates to another, who, while an employe of the road, yet had no right to manipulate the barriers. A man Griving a blind horse started to cross the tracks, while the gates were raised, not seeing that a train ¥as approaching. Just then—too late for safety, it proves—the gates were lowered, but the substitute guard, finding that he would catch the wegon within the bars, hoisted them again. The driver was killed. It is of small consequence whether the blame rests upen the regular gateman for leaving his post, upon the substitute for fesling to lower the gates in time to warn the driver, or upon the victim for rashness in trying to eress the tracks in front of an approaching train. The fact remains that the company running the train has wiil- Gully neglected and persistently refused to abandon its grade crossings in the city, and, coupled with this neglect of duty, it has failed to proyide reliable safeguards at the points where the traffic of the streets is interfered with by the passage of trains. No more cenclusive proof of the inefficiency of the apparatus in use could be had than the accident last night. No apology based on the fault of the human agent of the railroad is for a moment permissible. The road should nut be allowed by the law and the authorities to employ agencies subject to such fault. The Hfe that has just been ground out by the train and the many oth- ers that have been sacrificed to the crim- inally negligent methods of the railroad companies in this city would probably all have been spared from such a fate had the tracks been depressed or elevated, or, fail- ing either of these eventually inevitable methods, guarded by a perfect system of barriers. If the roads would but inaure a modicum of security pending the enact- ment of the law compelling them to re- move their tracks from grade, which will come a3 surely as there is a city of Wash- ington, the citizens would be more content; but the chief complaint is that even the Poor, make-shift appliances, antiquated and ill-manned, are allowed to fall into careless use, and thus the situation be- comes intolerable. May the death of Oscar Graham be the cause of an awakening of congressional interest in this venerable subject! So far, not a single proposition for the elevation or depression of the tracks has been ad- vanced in either house, although the Dis- trict calendar is now filled with measures of every other character. It is -high time @ start was being made. —_——_+ - = ____ The Sultan’s Error. Abdul Hamid II, Sultan of Turkey, has by no means strengthened his case with the Christian nations of the world by his refusal to permit the officers of the Red Cross Society to enter Armenia to dis- tribute means among the unfortunate peo- ple of that country. This expedition must not be construed as a form of interference with the authority of the sultan over his direct or tributary subjects. It is an er- rand of humanity and charity, pure and simple, and the sultan will have little in- ternational sympathy in his plea that the money that is to be distributed in Armenia has been collected “cn the strength of speeches delivered in public meetings by irreconcilable enemies of the Turkish race and religion and on the basis of false ac- cusations that Turkey repudiates.” It is quite to be expected from such a monarch that he should discriminate between the means of collection and the objects of such a bountiful fund that is so benevolently in- tended. The sultan cannot hide from the rest of the world the fact that there is great suffering and horrible distress in Ar- menia, whatever may have been the causes leading up to the present situation. Leav- ing out of the question entirely the politi- cal aspect of the Turkish case, the sultan should welcome the coming of the Red Cross Society, a strictly non-partisan, non- denon.inational organization of volunteer workers in the cause of practical charity, and should give to the distributors of this fund every means of protection while en- gaged in the noble work. It sounds well for the sultan to declare that the porte will al- leviate the wants of all Turkish subjects, irrespective of creed or race, but it will not be swallowed by those nations that happen to understand the true relationship between Mahomedanism and Christianity and the cruelties that are practiced upon the followers of the latter religion by those of the former. As a mere matter of poli- tics it was a bad play for the sultan to write to his mirister at Washington in the tone that he adopted. —___ "s+ = _____ It-is very possible that Africa will make things sufficiently interesting for some de- cades to come to keep Englend’s attention confined to her own side of the globe. - “Jacob Strasburger’s.”’ GRAND REMNANT SALE OF.
