THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WEDNESDAY. January 20, 1897. CROSBY S. NOYES. Editor. THE EVENING STAR has a regular and permanent Family Circulation much more than three times as large as that of any other paper, morning or ‘evening, published in Washing- tor As a News and Advertising Medium {ft has no competitor. ¢7In order to avoid delays, on ac- al absence, letters to to any individual connected with the office, but simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ménts, according to tenor or purpose. Blockading the Streets. It is evident from the facts disclosed in @ communication published today that there is something wrong either with the police regulations concerning grade crossings in this city or with the methods of their enforcement. The Star's correspondent shows that it is possible for the Baltimore and @hio road to block Massachusetts ave- nue in the shifting of freight cars without being disciplined. According to his letter, too, the cars of the Columbia line were blockaded for a period of four- minutes in the same way. The regulation that is supposed to cover such cases is a paragraph of Sec- tien 32, Article 10, which reads thus: “No train, locomotive or car shall be owed to stop or stand on any street crossing for a longer period than two min- utes at any one time, nor shall any such train, locomotive, car or cars be parked or stored on any street, avenue or other place for <n unreasonable time.” Part of Section 29 of the same article bears also on the matter, and is as follows: “No steam-car, train or engine shall be stopped or held at a street crossing or intersection so as to ebstruct the passage of vehicles or foot passengers for a longer period than is need- ed for the passage of such steam-car, train or ergine at a speed of not less than five miles an hour.” It is to be seen that each of these rules is aimed at the stopping of cars, trains, etc., and it may possibly be that urder a strict construction it could be held that the shifting of cars back and forth across a street intersection, even though it should block traffic for many times longer than the maximum neriod permit does not fall under the ban. But if such be the case there is a evident need of a new regulation dis prohibiting any maneuver which obstructs travel longer than two minutes. Railroads that are privileged to enter populous cities are supposed to provide themselves with freight yards outside of the range of street traffic, where they can make up and scatter their trains without inconveniencing the citizens beyond the bare necessities involved in the use of the streets for the tracks. ‘The time that may elapse before the local grade crossings are abolished should be made just as comfortable and safe as pos- sible by the enactment—and the strict and unrelenting enforcement—of a rule that will absolutely prohibit all urban switch- ing that blocks the streets. ———_~+eo Alexandria’s Good Work. Alexandria fs doing nobly. The pace that has been set in the pursuit of the policy writers is a brisk one and if maintained wll soon result in the capture of the law breakers who have so long and so defiantly played their game under the very noses of the authorities. The recent raid was clev- erly managed and it appears that nearly a complete haul resulted. With the material thus obtained, and with plenty of evidence to sustain the charges, it is obvious that Alexaadria should now enjoy a pretty thorough moral house-cleaning. The sen- tence awarded to the first prisoner put up for trial, $250 fine and sixty days in jail, should be repeated in each of the other eighteen cases, should guilt in all of them be as clearly established by the evidence, and the spectacle of this band of gamblers enriching the city treasury and resting from their pernicious practices for the space of a couple of months will not only be most gratifying to the reputable citi- zens but will give a distinct warning to the whole community of evil doers in both Alex- dria city and county. Washingtonians take a keen interest in these proceedings across the river, because of their de- sire the welfare of their neighbors whose interests are so closely related to thelr own and also on account of the hope that the similar efforts of good citizens in the territory that lies between the capital will result in a like puri- ation of Alexandria county, and Wash- ton’s lawless suburbs on the Virginia side of the Potomac. ——_~+++___. Vandalism. Judge Kimball put a heavy discount on pictorial vandalism yesterday when he fave a werkhouse sentence to a man who was caught drawing a representation of the British flag in colored chilk on the ‘apitol building. Insanity is proposed as a possible +xcuse for the offender, and it may be well suggested, for there must surely be some very pronounced kinks in the mentalgy of any person who deliber- ately defaces a beautiful structure by writ- recent teen al for ing cr secrawling upon it, or by breaking it. But the plea deserves no weight in considering the ex- tent to which such offenses should be pun- ished. The trouble is in many such cases a form of mental deficiency that involves no particular lack of responsibility and that may be cured by vigorous treatment. Fining alone may not reach the seat of the disease, but confinement within walls that offer no attractions to the vandal may stimulate some dormant ganglion of the brain that will exercise a corrective influence cn the tendency to disfigure and destroy. —_$<—$_+__+$-o—__ The banquet in honor of Mr. Platt does not promise anything cuousi startling, but its ss will be decided retiet monotonous spiciness of current dinner literature. +e The treaty ‘proposition probably comes as @ severe shock to several members of the Senate who have not yet de! red all the war speeches in their repertoir. 3 — When Mr. Addicks looks over his politi- cal pay-roll from time to time, he can partially realize the feelings of ihe con- sumer when the gas bill comes in. see —___ Refutes a Slander. In the senatorial elections whica have recently taken place and which are now taking place there is the most complete refutation of the slander that the people are growing careless about choosing their representatives for the high places, and that those places, as @ result, are going to unworthy men. The very opposite of this is shown to be true. The list is in every way an admirable one, and in itself is suffi- cient illustration that merit and capacity still have their reward in our polities. It would be superfluous to print the names of these men. Among them are a number who have served in their present capacities for years, and are to be con- tmued in senatorial commission solely be- cause of their useful and honorable service. Their 2ames have grown to be houschold words throughout the country. They are net men of wealth. Some of them are poor. Among those who will enter the Senate for the first time are men who have made a deep impression at home on lines of activity purely intellectual, and therefore The Country as Senators will find themselves still in corgenial employment. Nor has any section monopolized this manifestation of preference for en of high repute and intellectual substante. In the west as in the east it is to be observed. Able and experienced men of that grade are coming from all sections and from both parties, and when organized the next Senate will take rank with the best of its predecessors of recent years. Its leading chairmanships will be excellently filled, and its leading committees composed of those in every way competent to pass upon the important business that will be laid before them. - But croaking will still go on. The pessi- mist who takes no part In politics except to criticise those who do the work, or hav- ing tried for office himself and falled is soured against those who have won, will continue his doleful song about .the de- cadence of the Senate. He will continue te draw that awful comparison between the Senate of Clay, Webster and Calhoun, and the Senate of today. But if he were put upon examination the fact would probably be disclosed that all he knows xbout “the Senate of Clay, Webster and Cathoun” is the fact thet those eminent men all served in the Senate together. He has no xnowl- edge whatever cf the average senatorial quantity of that day, any more than he has about the average senatorial quantity of this day. He is merely repeating thor- oughly discredited pessimistic guff, and principally fur the purpose of personal advertisement. Active, however, as the pessimist will continue to be, no serious damage is to be apprehended from him. The Senate has been under his steady fire for a quarter of a century at least, and it is still a most robust and honorable body. oo —___ The evidences of sympathy for Mr. Hill among the democrats at Albany were not emphatic. But a politician of that gentle- man’s experience cannot fail to realize that sympathy in order to be of practical value must come from the side that has the votes. ———_s+o___—_ By comparing the number of men em- ployed from day to day on the two enter- prises, the conviction cannot be escaped that Gen. Weyler’s subjugation of the in- surgents is even less excusably slow than the construction of the city post-office. * +4 ___ The scheme to limit the hight cf office- structures will never attract the enthu- siastie interest which hangs about the Chi- cago statesman and philanthropist, Mr. Plotke, in his crusade against the lofty theater hat. ———+ eo-__ Unless Mr. Foraker’s attitude becomes jess rigid, it might be prudent on the part of Mr. Hanna to see if he cannot have Mr. Sherman's appointment to be Secretary of State made subject to a contingency. ——~-2___ Mr. Croker’s losses on the Fnglish turf have given him enough experience to en- able him to take into eccount the fact that Tammany has shown signs of being very much out of form lately. ————~+ee—____ General Weyler is a very unsatisfactory officer, but Spain can hardly look for much benefit from merely exchanging him for another whose imagination is fresher. ——_++e—_____ Twenty men managed today to keep warm by trying to ensure the completion of the city post office building by the first of July. —_+ e+ __ __ For his own sake it is pleasant to reflect that the youngest Mr. Castellane is wholly indifferent to newspaper notoriety. +e SHOOTING STARS. Inexhaustible Glory. “You have won a great many victories over the insurgents,” said the Spanish gen- eral’s friend. “Yes,"" was the complacent reply; “and the beauty of it is that there seem to be plenty more where those came from.” “°Tain’ allus dem ez hab de mos’,” said Uncle Eben, “dat manages ter hol’ onto it de longes’. De cullud gemman don’ git bald nigh ez quick ez de white gemman.” The Retiring Statesmen. Cheer up—for none can see the end, And time may still bring rosy cheer; Perhaps Columbia will send Your valentines another year. No Hope. “What I want to see,” said the man of strong convictions, “is the elevation of the Stage. Actors should be made to work on a higher plane.” “I'm sorry,” returned his host, “but rm afraid we'll have to disappoint you. We never have any roof-gardens in Washing- ton.” Not the Word. The industrious man had been trying his best to work while a piano-organ on the street poured forth its dulcet monotonies. ‘The friend with an ear for music came in, and, after a pause, exclaimed: “Dear me! That music seems very fa- miliar.” “Familiar! was the response. “By Jove, sir, that isn't the word for it. It’s con- foundedly impertinent.” . An Opinion.
