A Fruitiess Victory. When in October, 1895, the District Com- missioners adopted a police regulation ze- quiring all trains on steam railroads to come to a stop before crossing rapid transit street car tracks, the people of the city generally applauded their action. fhe promise it gave of increased safe in the streets was cause of the public gratiti- ion: but perh a greater part of the faction then felt was derived from the belief that an enforcement of this regula- tion lling the railroads to share ike crossings, ¥ comp inconveniences of grade in result that grows yearl, means to a most desirable end, the was hailed with delight by the entire of .he Proportionate dissat is dover the deci the Commissioners, just announced, to revoke the regulation from which so much benefit Was expected. This action seems the more singular by it the Commissioners appear to have surrendered all the benefits that might have been derived for the pub- lic from wirning the long controve in the courts over the regulation. order was fought vigorously by tne railroads. The suits that involved the legal- ity of the regulation by attacking the Com- missioners’ power to formulate such a rule were costly to the reads and occupied a of the courts’ valuable time. When the decision was finally reached the community lcoked eagerly for action pui- the order into effect. But now the Commissioners, after gaining every poin:, weaken. They inform the companies that they have changed their minds in regard to reason for the rule requiring the stoppage of trains. They intimate tha ‘awing the regula- tion was to secure an authoritative opinion as to their power to make such a requi ment under the law authorizing the drat: ice regulations, knowing that the railroads would carry the case to the court of last resort and that the judicial d n would be final.

Nobody that period moni law is co the who reside for hunters who swarmed here upon the ion of Mr. Cleveland for his first They came from every diree:ion, all ges of patronage hunger. nocratic party had returned to power after a quarter of a century spent in opposition, and thousands of its members lecked to the new executive for immediate appointment to office. They were men who, in the main, had been reared on the old political cry, and as the victors they now demanded the spoils. The great crush had its humorous features, but in the main it was pathetic. The most insistent of the throng swayed and sweitered in hotel lob- bies and in the long corridors of the de- partments for several months, hoping against hope, and reluctant to retuzn home, At the same time there were thousands of men and women tn the government's employ, faithful and entirely competent, who were trembling in thelr places. They in Washington at time can had their homes fitted up, and were comfortable in them. They had their circle of friends. Their children were at school, and prospering. They had ev- ery claim to permanency in their em- ployment that competency and faithfulness: can give, but all felt that any day, through no fault of their own, they might be thrust out and forced to find homes elsewhere. Many were thrust out, and even those who escaped the blow spent a long period of anxiety. Since then, so strongly has public senti- ment made itself felt, the civil service law has been widely extended, and thou- sands of places, where only hundreds were at that time covered, are now under the aegis of its protection. The result is that the number of those seeking places, while large. does not even suggest in size the throng of twelve years ago. The law ap- plies, and the people know it. The new ex- ecutive and his advisers believe in it and will enforce it, and openly so declare. They are not wearing that hunted look which stamped the countenance of the old spoils bess. The President is not a prisoner in the White House, afraid to venture out be- cause of the crowd. He walks the streets like a private citizen, and is not mobbed by the over-solicitous seeking recognition. ‘The men and women who are doing the government's work in the great depart- ments are not harried by anxiety. Their only concern need be about continuing the satisfactory discharge of their duties. They have a law now as well as a roof over their heads. Life to them means more than it formerly did. The political axman, taking the place of the devil, is not abroad seeking whom he may devour. He is chained up—as his side partner may also one day be—and good people may rest in peace. Civil service reform has come to stay. Its benefits and its beauties, to the govern- ment as well as to the individual, are everywhere apparent. There are a few men here and there who rail at it, and threaten to re-open the old war on the law, but the great majority of the people are in favor of the policy which demands the best service for the government, and security in their places for those who ren- der it. ——_++e—____ jfica’s Subway Work. When the electric lighting controversy was settled for the time being a few days ago by the adoption ly Congress of a com- Eromise paragraph added to the District hill the assurarce was unofficially but definitely given that the matter of estab- lishing a permanent system of municipal subways would be taken under considera- tion this summer by the members of the District committees of the House and Sen- ate and that it would be pressed to a con- clusion during the next regular sessioh, when time wil be available for such an ex- tended inquiry as this subject is sure to necessitate. In view of the frequent dis- turbances over this electric lighting nd cenduit question the assurance is grate- fully received. It is hoped, howe that When the subject is approached it will be disposed of promptly and will not be per- mitted to linger along and passgd from one Congress to another as one of the unsolved lceal problems. The case of Utica, N. Y. furnishes an excellent inspiration for those legislators who are disposed to approa the matter. In January, 1889, a committee Was appointed by the common council to consider the advisability of city ownership of an electric light plant. In April the ccmmission reported that municipal owner- ship was inadvisable as a whole but that it was desirable for the city to bulld “and own underground conduits. for carrying high tension electrie wires through the principal business streets. To pay for the cost of construction it was recommended that space in the conduits be leased by the city to the parties securing the contract for street lighting, soon to be re-let. The report was promptly adopted, the common council having faith in its own creation and trusting to its good judgment. The commission was then instructed to prepare plans and specifications and toward the end of the summer these were ready and the construction was begun in the fall aad is now under way, 4,408 feet of subways having been already laid at a cost of about A contract has meanwhile beew to a company for street lighting, re- quiring an annual rental of three and a third cents per foot of duct. The subways already laid are substantial and satisfac- tory. This case illustrates what can be done if the will and the desire exist. ——_+-e-___ ‘The effort of New York legislators to pro- hibit cartooning fs but another indication of the potency of print.
