The decision of the District Court of Appeals rendered yesterday, confirming the fight of the Commissioners to require steam ‘rains te be brought to a stop before cross- ing rapid transit street railway tracks, prob- ably brings the ultimate abolition of all local grade crossings within close range. When the regulation was promulgated in ctober, 1805, it was recognized as an excel- jent means of giving the railroads a con- vineing object lesson, showing the need of enterprise in the adoption of a scheme of terminal trackage at other than street level that would be in a measure satisfactory to the people of the District. But it was feared that possibly it might not stand the test of litigation. Both the iower and upper gourts, however, have construed the statute under which the Commissioners acted in framing the regulation as sufficient to justify their action. The court in yesterday's decision called attention to the failure of the railroad company to afford it an opportun- ity to judge of the reasonableness of the regulation in actual practice, while urging Shat the rule was. unreasonable in its re- quirements. The company had made no effort to obey the mandate of the Com- anissioners, and had merely surmised that the regulation, if enforced, would prove to be unreasonable, a contention that could mot be accepted without proof. ‘The regulation, thus emphatically up- lueld, ts sweeping in its provisions. It reads as follows: Yo locomotive, or train with or without a locomotive attached, shall pass over any sireet railroad crossing where the cars of @ sireet railroad are propelled by cable or electric power without coming to a full siop at a point not nearer than forty feet of the nearest rail of such crossing, and shall not pass over such crossing ex- cept in obedience to signal given by the gateman employed by the corporation own- dng the t ever which such locomotive or train is to pass, and such signal shall be given until the crossing gates are i manner as to effectually s to said tracks from the There are two ends to be secured » Vigorous enfercement of the this regulation. ‘The first is to decrease the danger to pas- sengers in street cars crossing steam and to protect the property of the The second is to sur- of the streets at grade by am railroad companies with as many » restrictions and limitations as pos- so as to hasten the coming of an of the people of Washington ngerous nuisance. It will most urediy be inconvenient for the in-com- ing trains to be stopped before reaching tke depot and out-goirg trains to be brought to a halt shortly after pull- ing out, but the annoyance will be heavier on companies than on the The Commissioners have won ‘ong fight to sustain their rule, and » it now in their power to give it force and effect by applying it without excep- tion at all points. There are four of these erossings of steam roads and rapid transit «ar lines and a guard should be kept at each of them and arrests promptly made en complaints from them that the rule bas been violated, until the engineers of all the roads have learned to obey. The railroads will share with the general pub- lic the annoyance and expense of delays at surface grade crossings, and the time may be hastened when grade crossings musi go. ———_—_+«+____ The Ulegal Overhead Wires. In view of Judge Cox's decision yesterday in the wire case, the Commissioners must use more care in picking out the next Objects of their attack in their effort to clear the atmosphere of illegal conductors no bearing on rs to proceed under the statute for- bidding new and additional wires from be- img strung.

It ts too late in the session to expect that this Congress will accomplish any- thing in the way of legislation putting an end to the use of the streets at grade by the railroad com panies now entering this eity, and the report submitted today by the District Commissioners to the Senate Mistrict committee on the South Wash- ington grade crossing problem will prob- @bly not be considered at this time with the view of producing immediate results. &t is, however, a valuable contribution to the literature of this everlasting subject, and gives evidence of an exhaustive sur- wey of the problem of finding the best method of abolishing the grade crossings in the southern section of the city. Five dis- tinct plans are considered by the Commis- sioners, beginning with that proposed by the railroad company and embodied in the bill, ‘the consideration of which gives rise to his report. According to the facts and figures presented this plan of the railroad sempany cannot be accepied without great 4jury to public and individual interests @pd without heavy cost to the District. It seems on this showing to be unsatisfactory fzom every point of view but that of the #ailroad company involving, as it does, galy a slight depression of the tracks, with gonsequent abrupt changes in the grade @f city streets and the absolute closing of 4wenty-tbree thoroughfares. This is un- deubtedly too heavy a price to pay for the @artial solution of the grade crossing prob- dom afforded by the use by the road of a @ballow trench to enter the city. The @ommissioners propose as a first alterna- qtlve @ scheme that, while costing the @Pistrict a trifle more in the way of dam- ages to property, mains, conduits, etc., would effect a more complete lowering of the tracks without mvolving the danger of overflow at high water. Indeed, the Com- missioners’ report effectually disposes of the claim made by the railroad, company that any more complete depression than that proposed by the bill would involve the danger of flooded: tracks. The most im- portant feature of the report is the em- phatic statement of the Commissioners, made on the basis of a careful and thor- ough survey of the territory in question, that the topography of South Washington is such as to render unwise, and certainly unsatisfactory to the people, the adoption of any terminal system involving the de- pression of the tracks to any degree. Nat- urally, this leads to the conclusion that the best avaliable scheme of trackage is an ele- vated system, and the Commissioners out- line three plans on that basis. That which they recommend as best is entirely unob- Jectionable to the citizens, and if the rail- road companies involved could be brought to see the matter in the light of their per- manent interests it would also be regarded by them, too, as the wisest plan. It will probably be stubbornly resisted, but from a purely selfish point of view. “The logic of the situation and the argument of the Commissioners contained in this report should appeal powerfully to senators and Tepresentatives when, in the fullness of time, they may see fit to approach this question with the view of ending it. —__ + = __ The Proposed New Department. The report comes from several sources that prominent business men when calling on Mr. McKinley improve the occasion to advocate tte establishment of a new de- partment, to be called the Department uf Commerce and Industry. It is likewise stated that Mr. McKinley lends favor to the suggestion, and the opinion is expressed that the matter will take practical form at an early day. ‘There is a great deal to be said in support of this propcsition. Despite recent paraly- sis and embarrassments, the commerce of the country has groyn to enormous pro- pertions, and is safely in line for far greater things. It is easily entitled to considera- tion on its cwn account, and to have its interests carefully Icoked after. There is a Department of War, and :t has great uses, despite the fact that a standing army of any size is repugnant to the wishes of the People and to the genius of the government and is never maintained. But the interests of the army, small as they appear to be in times of veace, are of the highest impor- tance, and could not be neglected or su- ordinated without grave consequences to the country. There has been no attempt to run a line for the new department. That, however, Will not be difficult if the department is created. Business now transacted by other departments, some of which have their hands full, would be transferred there, and much more of a nature useful and neces- ry would speedily develop. There is every son to believe, indeed, that the step, if taken, would completely justify itself. Such objection as may appear may bo expected to take the old familiar form. There are people in the United States who are unable to follow the country's growth or grasp its needs. They resent all progress and the claims growing out of progress. Apparently, they would try to conduct the affairs of a great empire, expanding with its opportunities and the necessities of its being, after the feshion of a small proy- ince. They objected to the creation of the Department of Agriculture; and it is still the employment of cheap wit to deal with that department as though it were humbug. But the fact remains that it has in every vay Justified its existence, that agriculture in many- ways has been much benefited by it, and that it could not be abolished, or even hampered, without a heavy loss falling on the agricultural interests. The depart- ment has come to stay, and it is worth all that Is required to support it. Elbow room is something very eszential to affairs in the United States, and as the public interests increase and ramify they eight to be cared for in proportion to their evlarged requirements. ——~++eo____ In connection with the objection to con- sideration of the treaty in executive ses- sion, it must be conceded that there is no occasion for the public’s watching the de- tails throvgh fear that the Senate may do something hasty in the matter. —__-- ++ Bismarck declares that he detests war.

What It Suggests. “I don't like,” remarked Senator Sor- ghum, “to hear a man constantly asking to be delivered from his friends.” “It's a common sentiment.” “Yes; but it always sounds to me as if he had been borrowing money from them.” She Hadn't Thought of That. “I don’t know what to do,” said the wo- man whose nature Is distrustful. “I hate to be imposed upon. How am I to know that you are really hungry?” “That's easy, ma'am,” replied the mendi- cant. “I kin prove it by lettin’ ye watch me eat.” A Privileged Few. The ball room scene was wondrous grand, With: diamonds all aglow; The nabobs did the dancing, and The servants watched the show. Following a Clue. “I can’t help thinking,” said young Mrs. Torkirs, ‘of what a wonderful thing it was for George Washington to go through life without telling an untruth.” Ye: replied her husband; “it gives a yery interesting hint of their domestic life. She must have refrafned from asking him how he liked his breakfast, or else he must have been guilty of a degree of discourtesy which candor could not excuse.” A Social ovation, “I see,” remarked Mr. Cumrox, as he glanced up from his paper, “that people of wealth sometimes substitute paste imita- tion for their real jewelry. when they at- tend big social gatherings. It’s a good idea. It makes just as much display, and there's po risk.” “Hiram, remarked his wife after some thought. ‘I'm very glad you mentioned that. Of course there’s no objection to their wearing paste, provided they have the real articles at home. The next time we send out invitations I'll have engraved just above ‘R. S. V. P.’ a request that all guests wearing substitute gems bring cer- tificates frcm the jeweler.” There was u time when love-lorn men Would toil to write a lay Which might delight a lady when St. Valentine came forth again To rule a single day.
