THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY..,.......January 22, 1896. CROSBY 8S. 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. G7In order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal absence, letters to THE STAR sh id not be dressed to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, according te tenor or purpose. = = For Better Sidewalks. While Washington has obtained and still retains the reputation of being the best paved city In the country it has quite as widely become known that its sidewalks are about the poorest in the land, being often mountainous and damp, usually un- comfortable and sometimes dangerous. One critic has said that the National Capi- tal is a city for horses. While an exag- geration this phrase illustrates the situa- tion fairly well. The city needs legislation that will ensure a gradual weeding out of the old walks and their replacement by some forin of “artificial stone,” giving a flat, smooth surface, easy to the feet and capable of shedding the water quickly into the gutter. This process should begin in the center of the city, and the area of good sidewalks should spread outward, as fast as the conditions will permit. It is largely a matter of education. The prop- erty owners must first be convinced that their best interests demand a replacement of the old walks by modern ones, which will enhance the attractiveness and proba- bly the value of the adjacent property. The increased advantage is well worth more than the added cost. The Commissioners have heretofore been handicapped in their endeavors to give the city better walks by the unwillingness of the property owners to go to the added ex- pense of granolithic pavements, and even in some cases to permit the most neces- sary repairs to be made. It is now an- nounced that the Commissioners are con- vinced that under existing laws they are authorized to make repairs whenever they shall consider it to be necessary for the promotion of public health, safety or com- fort, and that the opinion of the Health Officer recommending the work, hitherto regarded as essential, is merely advisory and not a necessity. This does not guar- antee that in making repairs the walks will be laid in better materials than bricks, and it is more than possible that property owners who object to repairs being made or new walks being laid will antagoniz> the authority of the Commissioners under their recent construction of the existing law. The better course lies in the enact- ment of a law giving the Commissioners in ic terms the power that they now d in the present statutes, and making some provision that will ensure that in every case where it is practicable and de- sirable the modern, smooth, durable and in the long run economical forms of side- walk shalt be used im replacing the fre- quent hills and vales that now do service as foot walks. It should be definitely understood that by the term “‘re- pairs” is meant something so comprehen- sive that in the thickly populated part of the city, at least, it will embrace the sub- stitution of granolithic for brick pave- ments. The day of sidewalk patchwork ought to be closed. —_~++2e____ Three-Cent Fares. There is a moral to be drawn from the annual report of the Herdic Phaeton Com- pany operating in this city, which was made public in yesterday’s Star. This company in March last reduced the fare to three cents and since that time, in ten montis, it has carried 1,200,000 more passengers than in the previous year. It is estimated that at the end of the full year covering the reduction of fere the record will show an increase of 1,400,000. This unquestionably means an increase in the gross and presumably in the ret revenue of the company and is a strong argument in favor of cheap fares. Only a short time ago The Star peinted out the ex- perience of other cities where street railway fares had been reduced, to the effect that In every case the lowering of the rates was followed by more than a proportionate in- crease in the traffic, demonstrating the ad- visability, from the investor's point of view, ef giving the public the benefit of the gen- eral downward tendency of such rates. In the case of the Herdic company the direct lesson to be learned is that better facilities for accommodating the traffic should at ence be provided, and it is to be presumed that if the company provides enough more coaches the coming year will show an in- crease over even the past one and it is fair to assume that the increase in revenue will more than pay for the added cost of the equipment. If the people could obtain a ride en convenient routes for three cents on a Ime running under quick headway, that is with frequent coaches. there is no question as to where the patronage of the people would flow. In transportation matters the first thing to be desired is a rate of fare commensurate with the service rendered. ‘The second is to furnish facilities that will accommodate all the traffic. The Herdic company has met the first of these condi- tions and should now meet the second. It fails deplorably to do so at the present time. —__+ + _____ Possibly thirgs may be adjusted with enough rapidity to warrant an exchange of courtesies between John Bull and Miss Columbia on St. Valentine's day. ———_+ + + ____ By the selection of Representative Wel- lington republican Maryland secures vigor- cus and able representation in the United States Serate. ——__+ e+ ____ Mr. Reed remains content to be for the present a disinterested observer of the other men's efforts in the way of pubticity and promotion. ————~++s___ ‘The report of a Spanish victory over the Cubans has hitherto been a customary pre- lude to authenticated acws of a Spanish defeat. ——+ += ___ A Merry Affair at Boston. ‘There are some interesting points to be observed in the repcrts of the three speeches delivered at Boston, England, by Mr. Bayard, in the course of one of which he said that the President of the United States “stands in the midst of a strong, self-confident and oftentimes violent peo- ple.” It was this phrase that has excited the resentment of some of this same vio- Iet pcople. But now that all the details of the occasion have become public our re- gsentment may be somewhat moderated. ‘That the remarks were “post prandial” in their nature Mr. Bayard admits in his let- ter to Secretary Olrey. He. also insinuates that he was not very gure that he said the things he was ac- credited with uttering, intimates that the reporters did not catch the drift of some @ his remarks, which were in Latin, and submits two different accounts from local Tewspapers to make certain that a average of accuracy may be reached. The first speech was a formal utterance, a perfunctory preface to the highly important duty of handing out di- plomas to the grrmmar school graduates. ‘There was not a word in that brief address to which eny American could take excep- As reported’ in the Boston Guardian was punctuated with ten “applauses,” “hear-hears,” and one “loud applause.” ‘Then followed the banquet, in the course of which Mr. Bayard was called upon to respond to two toasts—one to the President, the other to himself. It was in the first speech that he made use of the phrases now so familiar. The rising tide of ap- proval is noted by the fact that the report of this speech is punctuated with no less then two “hear-hears,” fifteen “cheers,” and one “loud cheers.” These points of complimentary interruption are not always intelligible. Sometimes a “cheers” is thrown in after a most common-place re- mark, indicating the growing geniality of the audience. The last speech of this me- morable occasion shows conclusively that the affair was indeed “‘post-prandial” in its nature. While there were fewer “cheers,” there was more diversity in the hilarity. ‘The interruptions may be thus scheduled: One “‘No-no,” one “hear-hear,” two “laugh- ters,” nine “cheers,” one “renewed-cheers” and one “loud cheers.” But as an evidence that all was not at- tention the following extract from the Boston Guardian will suffice: “The visit aroused some interest, but not so much as we anticipated. Few Boston- ians seemed to realize that we had in our midst a man who, in his own country, is almost as great as Mr. Gladstone is her Even some of those who took part in ihe evening’s proceedings betrayed a lack of appreciation for the importance of the guest, otherwise they would not have in- terrupted his remarks by the cracking of filberts.”” —___.ep___— The Aqueduct Bridge. Secretary Lamont’s communication to the House on the condition of the Aqueduct bridge, transmitting an estimate of 365,000 for the repair of that structure, presents some startling facts. According to Maj. Davis’ report, based upon most careful surveys and detailed examinations, at least one of the piers supporting the bridge is in a very defective condition, and indica- tions are at hand that there was careless work done at the beginning. This casts doubt upon the integrity of the bridge as a whoie, although the structure is prob- ably safe enough for all ordinary purposes of travel to and fro across the river. But it is quite unnecessary that this condition of affairs should prevail, as it is the duty of the government to provide a modern, substantial bridge at this point, a bridge that will not only accommodate safely all the people who desire to go to Virginia or come from that state by this route, but will permit of the construction of a street railway across it, under just and proper regulations and restrictions. Until the Aquednet bridge is thoroughly repaired, permission should not be given for the lay- ing of rails, and this is one of the strong- est arguments for the replacement of the bridge by a better and more satisfactory structure. There should not be a bridge arovnd the national capital of such a char- acter that street cars could not run across it with perfect safety. —___+ «+____ It is telegraphed from InJianapolis that there is iiving in that city a cousin of Al- fred Austin, the alleged poet laureate of England. Very likely. But why do they want to rake that up against the Indian- apolis man, if otherwise he is a good citi- zen? He can’t help having relatives, and shouldn't be held responsible for the mis- doings of one of them so fa> away as in England. —___- +0 The death of Bernard Gillam takes from the public a man who combined in a mar- vellous degree the faculty of pictorial ex- pression with a comprenensiveness of af- fairs.

Dah’s a heap er folks shoutin’ roun’ "bout how dey loves dah country, an’ dah country doan’ seem ter take no likin’ to em whatsomedever.”” A Matter of Grammar. “I see,” said the English official to his secretary, “that you refer to our claims for territory as ‘an important question.’ ” “Yes.” “Well, don’t do it again. We have nething to do with interrogatives. Whenever we speak it’s in the imperative mood.” Perversity. Oh, heating apparatus, why Such various traits unfold? You're blistering when the weather's mili And frosty when it’s cold. Two Sides to the Case. “It is somewhat discouraging that the United States is not able to recognize us,” said one Cubar. insurgent. “Never mind,” replied another; “wait till you see what happens to these Spanish soldiers they are sending over. Their own families won't be able to recognize ’em.” Caution. “Can you sew buttons on?” asked the leap year new woman. “No,” he answered. “Has your father educated you so that you know how to take proper care of a bi- cycle?” io, I can’t say he ever has.” “Then,” she said, bluntly, “I must crush the fond fancy which was blossoming in my heart. The words I meant to speak must be unsaid. You are not the kind of a man who would make home happy.” A Herror. As silent as the shade of night ‘That steals across the plain, He comes; all careless in his flight Of human joy or pain. And, though you dettly choose your way, Your course he’s sure to strike— This fearful creature of dismay, The wobbier on a bike.
