Philadelphia has promise of that millen1al
We refer TO the era Of cheap carriage fares In
American cities. An application has been filed
for charter for a transportation company in
that city which proposes TO establish line Of
small coaches to carry passengers to any point
within her limits for ten cents each The capt.
tai OF the company Is placed at 81, OOO, 900, and
Its plan is to put on the streets not now occu-
pied by horse cars not less than one thousand
OF their vehicles, which are to have seats on the
sides, for four or six persons, and to be drawn
by one horse each 1t Is likely that the fare Is
Fixed at too low point to be profitable; but
there Is no reason why passengers should not
ne carried in all American cities much cheaper
than they now are. In London and In nearly
au the cities In Europe, where at least the cost
OF horses and the expense of keeping them are
very much greater than here, 1t does not cost on
an average more than half what It does to ride
In corresponding style for given time or dis
lance In the larger cities OF the United States.
There Is no need OF this, and there is no reason
for IL but the greed OF those who now control
such conveyances, and who, by reason of their
extravagant charges. seriously diminish the
profits on their capital invested Were fares
lower here the amount OF carriage or cab riding
would be largely increased, as 1t Is In foreign
countries, and the net revenues OF the business
would be enlarged accordingly, just as they
have been In every other pursuit where the ex-
pertinent OF large trade and small profits has
been fairly tried.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1880-07-14

Considering that the government OF the
United States Is purely civil In its character
and that the military arm Is in theory at least
entirely subordinate In It's functions, the cost of
keeping up that branch Of our national e5tab-
lishment is frightfully expensive as compared
with the cost OF European armies, and eSpe-
cially so when the relative importance OF the
armed force here and there Is taken into ac-
count. The ANIMAL cost OF maintaining single
soldier IN this country is reckoned at little
more than 81 900. In England the expense per
man per year is about 800. In Austria
Hungary the cost is about $3.50 per soldier; In
France and Germany. each, about s215; and in
Russia and Italy about $500. In several OF
these countries. II not In majority OF them,
the soldier is as well clothed as here, II not
better, and as well equipped He Is not 50 we'll
nor so extensively fed as the American soldier,
but the difference In that item cannot come
any where pear OffSetting the wide difference
In the annual cost OF support. The inevitable
inference Is that there Is either tneflicency or
waste In the administration OF our military
affairs The thing for Congress to do, there
fore, is to devise some way TO reduce
he expense OF keeping I'D the army,
Instead OF reducing its numbers 1t is none
too large for the requirements OF the country,
but its cost Is out OF all proportion to It's iIn-
portance and the service performed. Then,
too, there are too many fancy and extravaganza
ly paid officers In proportion to the number
of gun-carrierS These should be freely Topped
Of. and the mill for grinding them out at West
Point might be shut down for while, Just as
other mills are stopped when the supply OF
their product exceeds the demand

Political gossip from Maine, not very we'll
authenticated, to be sure, has 1t that Mr.. Ham,
LIN viii decline to run for the United States
Senate again after the close of his present term.
Whether he runs or not, 1t is quite certain that
there will be several and nearly equally for
midable competitors for the place. Representa-
tives Frye and Reed and neutrality-suspicious. Hale
are all In the field, already, each with strong
and active hackers, and 1t is likely that one OF
them will be chosen. Either one of them would
be acceptable to the people OF Maine, we pre-
sumo; but If the republicans outside of that
state had the settlement OF the question 1t Is
our impression that Gen. Chamberlain would
be the man. His great services to his party
last winter very strongly supplement the claims
established by his ability, integrity and ex-
perence In public affairs

The lawyer who acted as counsel Tor Chastine
Cox, the condemned murderer, made an ass OF
himself in addressing to the Governor of New
York the document which was published In our
Geographic columns yesterday. There was no
similarity whatever In the circumstances of the
murder committed by Cox and that OF which
Balbo, the Italian, was convicted, nor In the
circumstances of the two trials. and the effort
of the counsel in question TO excite sympathy
or make capital out oG'the fact that Cox is
native and Balbo foreign born sounds more like
the clap-trap of a political shyster than the
calm, well-eonsidered efforts OF a gentleman
competent TO expound the laws and care prop
erly for the interests of his client. The murder
committed by Cox was most brutal one, and

''The sun was more merciless yesterday at
Washington than at New York, but 1t had not a
thousandth part as much filth 10 operate upon
In the streets. so the people suffered less there
than here" SO says the New York Herald OF
this morning. and the statement 10 true. But
our lighter suffering Is not alone due to the
cleanliness OF the city. There is that in the
quality OF the heat here which affects persons
far less disastr0usly than the same temperature
would in most other places. This is shown by
the mortuaTy reports OF yesterday. In nearly
all the large cities of the country there were
greater or less number OF fatal cases OF SUM-
stroke. whereas In " Washington there was only
one instance of prostration by the heat and
that not fatal or serious one.
