Some may skgw partisan benefits bestowed al- rrest upon spoils Jines and some may in- clude places that should not have been brought within the operations of the law. But before any change whatever is made most careful consideration should be given to the mfiatter.

Now that the Supreme Court of the United States has restored to the highway extension act all the force that originally belorized to it, s removed from it the suspicion of unconstitutic it is in order to seek some practical means of carrying the f the law into effect. The ma i haye been set- ation of the begin- ss of has untii tual acquisition, d taking any courts had passed dela. the all Ss of the statute, and now time is pressing. Some action looking to the end of a positive arrangement for making payment for the lands taken under this act might readily be adopted at this session, short though it may be, but if the trict committee of the Senate, ndw the only Congressional body possessing an of- ganization relative to local affairs, will but approach the subject with determination some basis for action next winter can readily be laid. There are three courses open to Congress and the District in this matter. The entire Project can be abandoned and no money provided for carrying it into effect; the cost of the improvement can be met by means of an increase in the general taxes imposed on the property owners of the District; bonds to a sufficient amount can be sold, thus raising the necessary fund. ‘The Star has heretofore indicated its lief 'n the efflcdcy and equity of the last- hamed plan. It is absurd at this stage to contemplate the abandonment of all the proceedings. it is to see the merit system’ and un-| | lost by this arrangement. i | of | Another consideration * | winter the strength or weakness of the oblem and one that | They have been too costly, they are based upon too real a need; and they represent too pronounced a public sentiment to be left now to go into history as an unfin- ished scheme. Street extension upon defi- nite and regular lines is a vital necessity to the proper development of the capital city, and if it is not accomplished upon the basis of the work already done the District stands convicted of an incompetence to ; deal with a problem of government that must be solved by every growing com- munity. To the scheme of a general increase In }the local tax rate there exist many ob- jections. The chief of these is that the burden would fall too heavily and sud-' denly upon some citizens who are not now able to stand the extra pressure. But a greater force lies in the reason that this method would involve the probable shifting of the entire weight upon the citizens alone, without the aid that they have every right to expect from the nation under the laws now in force in regard to the rela- tions between the general government and its capital city. The Senate District com- mittee has already put itself on record as opposed: to this injustice, and has advo- cated the enactment of a bill providing for an issue of bonds to the proper amount, the payment of one-half of these obliga- tions being undertaken by the government, just as are thé ordinary, necessary, an- nual expenses of the District. The advantage of the bonding plan are obvious. This would put the money in hand almost without delay, would en- able the zuthorities to accomplish the de- sired results of street extension practically at once and would give the people and the nation the benefits of the project in the immediate future, instead of postponing achievement for decades. It would as well spread over a number of years the burden of paying for the betterments and would involve a minimum of hardship while con- ferring a maximum of benefits. A bond bill drawn upon the general lines of the amendment proposed by Senator Proctor to the District appropriation bill two years ago would fully meet the wishes and best judgment of a great majority of the citi- zens, who are eager that this project be brought to a definite end without further delay. All the interests involved have spoken. All the necessary arguments have been made. The situation is unchanged today from what it was two years ago for additional hearings, and it will be a great saving of time and money for the Senate committee to take up the case where it was last postponed and proceed vigorously to a finish. - It is to be remembered that these neces- sary steps must be taken befure June next or the entire plan will fail and the thous- ands of dollars that have been spent preparation aad the scores of thousands that have been lost by the stagnation of the market through the operation of the long-delayed process of condemnation will be utterly wasted. ——+ 6 -____ Postponement of Important Problems. Congress, it seems altogether clear, will confine itself strictly to the transaction of the business for which it was called to- gether. Adjournment is expected speedily to follow the final disposition of the tariff bill, leaving the Cuban question and the currency problem for consideration at the regular session next winter. There is as- surance in the feeling that nothing will be The latest phase of the Cuban matter is about to be put into the hands of the new minister to | Spain, and the expectation is that some- ing of importance to Cuba will grow out is negotiations. So far as the currency problem is con- cerned, the administration need not lose the suggestions of leading financiers of the country simply through failure of Congress to authorize the organization of a com- mission to report on the subject. The sub- ject is one in which all financiers are vitally interested. Many of them have given to it much research and thought. They do not require the spur of appoint- ment as members of a formal commission to give to the administration the benefit of their investigations. They have but to feel, or to be informally advised of the fact, that their views are desired by the President and the Secretary of the Treas- ury to promptly present them. A commis- sion regularly organized could do no more. A commission's report would have to reach Congress through the .President and the Treasury Department, and its value would very much upon executive comment on it. To the extent, therefore, that the views of leading financiers and business men are | considered of importance. in dealing with this matter, they may be obtaihed without | the organization of a commission, and may | become in an unofficial form of much value both to the executive and to Congress. By the authorization of a commission by Con- gress the President would appoint certain able men to report upon the matter. He has but to confer unofficially with these same men, whom doubtiess he now has in mind, to obtain the same result. ‘The value of their suggestions he must himself pass upon in the end, no matter how obtained. is that by next new tariff bill will stand revealed, and the special silver envoys now abroad will have | made report. The currency problem is con- | nected with both of those problems. Its ultimate solution will depend in large measure upon their solution. If interna- tional bimetailism can be and is to be effected, any change in the currency of this country must be ordered with that in view. If the new tariff law proves inade- quate, and the revenues continue to run behind, and the endless chain abuse of the greenLacks is again brought into play by Jobbers and speculators, then that will have to be taken into account. Upon the whole, it would appear that nothing will be lost as the result of the probable postpone- ment for six months of currency legisla tion. ——_- 0 “A law suit which involved a contested item of eight hundred dollars, and which has been in the courts for several years, was settled in Binghamton, N. Y., last Saturday, afier costing the several parties to the contest over $75,000 in lawyers’ fees and legal expenses, and it was closed eventually by concessions on both sides. The coal miners and the coal operators in- terested in the present strike, and the general public as well, can study this case with profit. There is a valuable moral in it. ——____ +e —___ The Active Trolley ‘Trust. The overhead trolley trust is unusually gctive just at present. It recently won a great victory in Illinois, by securing from a recreant legislature and a discredited soverner a most iniquitous measure grant- ing the roads of Chicago fifty-year exten- sions without securing for the city the least consideration in return. The roads have taken early advantage of this privilege by replacing some of the cable roads of that city with overhead construction, and al- ready the community is threatened with the familiar gridironing process that has characterized the operations of the trolley trust wherever it has secured a foot- hold. it is even now announced that West- chester County, New York, is to be “grid-. ironed’ with overhead wire roads. The evil in this advance is less apparent than real, for this section is rapidly developing from a sparsely settled suburban district into a veritable city, being an extension of the metropolis. The syndicate that is to accomplish this result in Westchester County is In all respects the same as that which now operates in Philadelphia, Bal- timore and _— eastern cities. It has its and there is no need for further inquiry, | representatives here in the majority owner- ship of the Eckington and Belt ~ roads, which were secured for purposes similar to those that have been carried out in neigh- boring cities. But the process was not so easy in Washington as elsewhere, for in- stead of complacent boards of aldermen, directly amenable to local political influ- ences, sugh as large corporaticns can wield, the syndicate has had to deal with Con- gress, a generally upright body with inter- ests of too broad a nature to be affected as a whole by the petty considerations of sin- gle concerns. The general principle of poli- ticai coercion through the handling of large bodies of men has worked only in a few individual cases, and in consequence no success has attached thus far to the Strenuous and persistent efforts of the trolley trust to break down the wholesome law prohibiting overhead onstruction within the city limits. Yet there is un- doubtedly a certain force in Congress fav- erable to the syndicate. Some of these members have yielded to arguments based on a shrewd mixture of pleading and sta- tistics; others have fallen under the in- fluence of the same political conditions that Fave reached the aldermen of the cities in which their districts lie. It is now related that the local representative of this con- cern, noteworthy for his activity in be- half of the trolley trust and his skill thus far in avoiding compliance with the statues, has recently boasted that he was sure of ninety votes in the House and thirty in the Senate favorable to a restoration of the overhead trolley privileges to the road be- longing to the syndicate from which they were once taken, Thus the game is again revealed and it is once more demonstrated that there is no resting in the fight to keep Washington free from the deadly nuisance and the unsightliness of the overhead trolley. ————++e—____ The manner in which Mrs. Lease divides her time between politics and mortgages would indicate that she has not quite made up her mind whether she will be a Joan of Are or a Hetty Green. —_++e—_____ Queen Liliuokalani appears to be im- pressed with the doctrine that it is a good thing to keep before the public, if possible, even though there is no definite prospect of achieving anything. ————+e2e—___ A ccrtain rigidity of moral standards as to statuary is to be expected.

A Delicate Accommodation. “Did you say that this is to be a wedding present?” asked the clever salesman in the china store. “No. I didn’t say anything of the kind,” replied the man who was making the pur- chase. “And I don’t see that it makes eny difference to you.” “Not the slightest,” was the reply. “I merely thought you might like to have us take off this price-mark and paste on another with a higher figure on it.” On Time.

The waves on the sand sing soft and low As the mystic night glides by; And the sea is bright with the golden glow Of the moon that drifts on high.
