THE EVENING STAR and permanent Family Circulation uch more than the combined cir- culation of the other Washington dailies. As a News and Advertising Medium it has no competitor. ©7Im order to avoid delays, on ac- count of personal mee, letters to THE STAR sh not be addressed to any individ connected with the Office, simply to THE STAR, or to the Editorial or Business Depart- ments, nccording to tenor or purpose. Unwise Forehandedness. ‘The Engineer Commissiorer’s statement about the estimates, published in yester- day's Star, would appear to indicate that there has been a departure this year from the long continued custom of asking Con- gress for all the money necessary for the wal expenses and public improvements, up to the limit of the District's ability to meet its share of the expense. This policy bas prevailed with the approval of the community, which has recognized the wis- dom of seeking to use all the money avail- able under the law to cope with the many lceal needs that have accumulated steadi- ly from year to year. As a matter of facet, however, this seem- ing departure from the established and ap- Froved custom is not a departure after all, for the main reason for the change, as given by Capt. Black, 1s that it is thought to be desirable that the District should lay away a fund out of which to pay certain possible expenses of the future including its share of the Cost of abolishing the grade crossings along the line of the Penn- sylvania railroad in this city. Thus in lieu of estimates for known needs such as street improvements, and the like, there is in effect included im the budget, through ¢limination and substitution, an estimate for an indefinite, prospective need. There are serious objections to be raised against the policy of setting aside formally a large sum of money to meet drafts upon the local treasury to finance the solution of the grade crossing problem. The District earnestly desires the adoption of some sy: tem of terminals that will abolish the pre: ent death-traps but it does not wish to be placed in such a position that it will have to pay heavily and unjustly for this relict. ‘The apportionment of the expense of this improvement is now the only question seriously at issue between the railroad and the municipality. The position of the municipality broadly stated is that the railroad in consideration of the confirma- tion of its present temporary occupation of valuable public property and of the grant to it as proposed by all of the plans ot large tracts of public land in addition to What it now occupies and uses should bear practically all of the expenses of eliminat- ing the grade crossings. The exact items of this counterclaim to offset the railroad’s Hill for a share of the cost of the improve- ment can readily be stated. It happens, too, that the sclution cf the grade-crossings problem which is most beneficial to the community is also the least expensive to the community. The city is steuggling for track elevation, which is absolutely the best method of relief, as well as the one which everywhere throws the bulk of the expense upon the railroad, the street grades being unaffected. Where the tracks must be lowered instead of ele- vated the city labors naturally to secure such a degree of depression that the streets may pass over the cut without change of grade, with a resulting minimum of public inconvenience and expense. The railroad fights for a system of semi-depressed tracks. under which the streets are in fact nd carried over the tracks, at a maximum of annoyance and expense to the community and a minimum of cost to itself. To disregard current pressing needs and to accumulate and set aside a large sum from the District's nominal resources to meet the cost of eliminating the grade crossings destroys the argument for the best solution of the problem which is based upon the financial inability of the District to meet the expense to be imposed upon it by the worst solution thereof, stultities the contention that in equity the Suik of the cost should be met by the railroad, and invites the railroad to adhere obstinately to the grab-all policy of absorbing public land at pleasure without offering in con- sideration even the profitable improvement of its own terminals through the elimin: tion of grade crossing: —+ «+ it~ The Sewer Bond Issue. Capt. Black's proposition to go before Cong next wirter to secure the passage of a bill authorizing the issue of bonds to permit the completion of the sewage dis- posal plans is worthy of hearty support. The present method of securing what he aptly terms “driblets” of appropziations for sewer work is unsatisfactory and does not produce the most economical results. 7 sewers that ere constructed under this ‘ystem are, of course, in conformity with the general plans of the sewage commis- sion, adopted several years ago, ard thus they will all be useful in the perfected service contemplated by that body's recom- mendations. But there is necessarily a certain percentage of loss due to the con- stant interruptions caused by the failure f appropriations, the deterioration of the half-finished work and similar incidental results of the piece-meal performance of the task. The sewage disposal plans were broadly ba upon both the present and the prospective needs of the District. There is an insistent demand now for some pet= ter method of disposing of the sewage, hich is in fact permitted to dispose of if in a most menacing manner. The te ‘plans of the commission can be «rried out only by 2 large appropriation by the raising of the necessary money in some such manner as the issuance of bonds The citizens are in faver of the latter plan, as being more just, more bus- iness-like and more economical in the end, and it is to be hoped that the Engineer Commissioner will persist in his intention to seek to persuade the House to pass the necessary legislation. ee Senator Jones cannot fail to be struck with apprehension when he notes the num- erous prodigal sons from the free-silver hemestead and the doubtful prospects for fatted caif. ——___+ e+ —____ The championship of the political in- terests of Mr. Guggenheimer by Mr. Shee- han affords a glimpse of the cosmopolitan side of New York's character. —__+ eo ——__ Preparing for Another “Appeal.” The air motor cat is creeping out of the The Commissioners have notified the ver for the Eckington and Belt roads re that he may proceed with the equipment of those lines with compressed air and that he may establish stations provided with proper recharging machinery at such ter- minals as may need such an equipment for the restoration of the exhausted energies of the motors. All this is in exact accord- ance with the terms and the =pirit of the statutes that are now being slowly worked out into deeds. The recciver now rctifies the Commissioners of his intention ip the following Inguage, which is sufficieatly noteworthy to be quoted in termns: “I am having detalied plans and specifi- cations for pipe lines prepared to connect the terminal charging stations, provided for in the Comm: order of October J, with the power staUon, together with plans and specifications for these charging station: id, when completed, I will sub- malt the with an application for a permit to ‘lay the necessary pipe lines and con- struct the terminal charging stations.” Commissioner Black tn his final report on the experiments declared that he found ro warrant in the law to permit the laying of Pipe lines to supply inter-route. recharging stations. Naturally the supposition arises that there can be no warrunt in the law for a pipe line such as the receiver now coolly proposes, to connect the terminal Stations with the power house. If the lat- ter why not the former? The streets would be equally disturbed. The same gev- enteen miles of trenches would have to be laid and in the end the result would be the same except that there would be lacking the occasional traps in the streets covering the connecting machinery. Thus by plan- ning to go ahead with the laying of pipe lines the receiver takes direct issue with Capt. Black and his colleagues, who have given their formal assent to his cenclu- sions. E This joining of issués strengthens the suspicion that the air-motor pioposition lacks sincerity. The experiments have shown that as a matter of fact even the terminal re-charging stations are unneces- sary and it is positively known that Con- gress did not intend that a single yard of street surface should begdistarbed to per- mit the operation of the much-vaunted “‘in- dependent motors.” There is, however, no cause for surprise that the receiver should ignore the Commissioners’ findings and at- tempt to do that for which there is “no warrant in the law,” and the refusal of which will give him a fitmsy excuse for delaying all progress toward rapid transit pending an appeal to Congress such as he and his associates are expert in :aaking. Thus the present outlook is for another series of time-consuming moticns that will bridge over the period between now and the convening of Congress when it is expected that the railroad companies will ake an- other appearance before the committees with pitiful tales concerning their treat- Ment by the authorities, who have denied them certain statutory privileges, without which rapid transit by compressed air ts impossible. ES —_—__+ + +____ Tammany in Danger. Evidences are at hand that the great ‘Tammany machine in New York is disinte- grating. Croker has publicly assumed charge of the campaign, so far as nominat- ing candidates. and dictating issues may go, and his influence is regarded now as paramount. Sheehan, who was for some time his lieutenant and later practically his successor in power, has virtually re- tired from the’ active leadership. The char- acter of the Croker nominations has caused a determined revolt against his dictation. Some of the oldest and stanchest political fighters of the metropolis have weakened in their allegiance to the Tammany organi- zation. One of the members of the execu- tive committee yesterday resigned because of his dissatisfaction with the outlook and the leadership. The Henry George move- ment threatens to swamp Tammany on election day, whoever may be elected mayor, and the society cannot well survive this shock, coming on the heels of other re- verses. But the. most serious menace at present is the possibility that the George party, which has formally indorsed the whole of the Chicago platform, may be declared to be the only true democratic party, entitling it to the place on the offli- cial ballot usually given to Tammany, with the black star as an emblem. There is much of practical political value involved in the possession of the right to use the emblem and Tammany’s workers are now vigorously seeking to thwart the efforts of the Georgeites to secure the indorsement of the state committee and the national committee. If those efforts should succeed Tammany will be forced into the space be- yond the breastworks, in the position of an trregular fcrce, thus depriving it of the enormous prestige that has been part of its equipment for years. Croker is hardly the man to unify the factions and individuals now tending to desert the organization. His name has lost much of its power as a conjuring force. He lacks many of the qualities that have made the leaders of Tammany in the past well-nigh irresisti- ble, and it is quite possible that the present campaign may mark the demolition of that organization known as Tammany Hall that has proved such a power in metropolitan and national politics in the past. The same elements, however, will probably find an- other medium for their political energies, the tiger merely changing his stripes. —~>r+oe—___. Leaning Upon the Leader. Mr. Bryan, accoriing to report, is going to the assistance of his friends in Ken- tucky. They are calling for him. He will pass through the state this week en route to Nashville io the exposition, and return- ing from there will make several speeches in Kentucky. - The demand for him comes from what last year was the silver stronghold of the commonwealth. This looks ominous for silver. The Jocal orators are all on the stump and some of the best of them are for silver and yet Mr. Bryan is appealed to. This can have but one meaning, and that is that the cause in the blue grass state shows signs of waning. It is necessary to make unusual efforts to hold the faithful in line. The section in question isa fine farming country, where dollar wheat and the rise in prices of other farm products have smashed the arguments advanced by the silverites in the presidential campaign. The gold democrats also are adding to the uneasiness of the silver men. They are making a very energetic campaign, and where last year they were refused a hear- ing, this year they are being greeted by large and respectful audiences. Mr. Bryan, it is to be observed, shows ardent sympathy for those. of the party everywhere who have, and exhibit, the fuli courage of their professions. He stands by the men who stand up for silver. He keeps a watchful eye fur every expression in fa- vor of silver and telegraphs approval to its author or authors. His ear is trained to catch the faintest call for assistance from any such quarter, and if it is in-his power he promptly responds. He has become one of the greatest travellers of the age out of 4 solicitude to fill every engagement made for him in silver’s behalf. Mr. Bryan has not appeared in Maryland or New York but that is because the demo- cratic organizations in those two states are trying to play a sneak game this year. They went hand in hand with him last year, and are ready at the crack of the na- tional whip to go hand in hand with him again. But the national whip will not efack again untile1000, and meanwhile thay will try to do a little business on their own hook and in a characteristic way. Where the battle for silver openly is raging there Mr. Bryan is found and the friends of sound money would do well to note the fact. —_>+e—___.

Prince Bismarck -since his retiremeht from office has had periods of talkativeness, éuring which he has treated of a good many points of interest connected with European politics. The’ Franco-Russian alliance has but recently afforded him a theme, and much of what he has said on that subject and on subjects growing out of it has possessed a lively flavor and given rise to no little discussicn. The ex-chancellor is @ wonderful man. THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 7, 1897-14 PAGES, He shows it even in his table talk. He discourses of big things In so clear and in- forming a light that he brings them within the range easily of everyday comprehen- sion. The German empire is to him a sort of big estate, which William the First and himself, by bard knocks-and patience and good management, got tcgether, and whict Promised large returns as planned by them. They had all the land under cultivation, the fences up, good neigtiborhood assocta- tions established and all that, and pros- perity seemed assured for years. But the young “heir has come into possession, he proves to be a heady experimentalist, try- ing first one thing and then another, re- jects good advice, and seems bent wholly on having his own way. The result, as Prince Bismarck sees it, is that things are fast going to waste, and the prestige of the establishment is declining. The tore of an old statesman on the re- tired list is apt to be desponding, but in this case despondency seems to be justified. The Prestige of the German empire today 1s not nearly so great as it was a few years ago. No new friends have been’made, but several old ones of great power have all but been alienated. The czar still shakes hands, but there is a suspicion that he ts not cordial. Great Britain, if anything, is a trifle cooler than ever. William the Sec- ond sides with the Turk as against Greece. His policy at home against socialism, in- tended to suppress it, has increased it. He exhibits a fickleness as to advisers, calling first one man to his side and then another. And so on. : Prince Bismarck has followed the young heir’s course with pain and misgivings. Naturally, his mind reverts to the time wken he and the old emperor were busy laying the foundations for what is now, in new hands, becoming so much impaired, and he is going off the scene with some- thing of Pitt's dying solicitude for “my peor country.” —_++e____ If a number of other people would follow Luetgert’s example and refuse to talk un- less they got several thousand dollars for it life would be easier. ———~ee—____ His venture in politics ts convincing evi- dence that John L.

From the Baltimore American. The people of the country are fond of their capital. More than the Washington- jans themselves, they have seen the won- derful progress of Washington, for by visits at intervals—some of them extending over years—they have met with some con- trasts which tell the story to the spectator mere thoroughly than~constant living in the city could do. In different parts of the country we have heard people discuss the growth of Washington with pride and re- late the comparisons of their various visits. The man who was there ten or twenty years ago, and who goes again this year, | takes a tale back home which he never} tires of telling. . And not only will Washington have no rival in the sense of competition, but it is destined to be beautiful beyond any other city or any other capital in the world. What has been done is simply an earnest of what is to come. It will be the capital of society, as well as politics. Art and edu- cation will follow, and already it is a fact that more learned and authoritative men can be gathered in an audience in that city than anywhere else in the country. In fact, Baltimore -is glad to be so near Washing- ton. eee Brooms, Not Guns. From the New York World.
