ruE NEW COMMISSIONERS.

THE NEW toh ONiaN's

throughout the District that the Presi-
dent has been eminently fortunate in
his selection of District Commissioners.

ccrely trusts that the confidence of the
people in the wisdom of the several Sc.
lcctions will be fully realized in the
coming administration of local affairs.
1t was the wish of many citizens that
Commissioner Edmonds might be re.
appointed. He is man thoroughly
identified with our home interests and
decided executive ability. II cannot
be questioned that his connection with
the board has been of advantage to the
District in many ways, and II was gen
orally felt that his continuance in the
same position would result in still
greater advantage. TO use popular
phrase, he and Mr.. Webb constituted
particularly "strong and well-matcd
team but Mr. Edmonds persisted
from the outset in declining to be con.
sidered Il candidate for rcappointment,
and months ago so informed the Presi.
dent, who was most favorably disposed
towards him.
1t is gratifying to know, however,
that the management of our District
business is not likely to retrogradc in
efficiency or dispatch by the appoint
mont of Mr.. Wheatley. All the good
things that are said about this gentle
man we know to be deserved, and al
though the position into which he is
about to step abounds in difficulties
and vexations and trying responsible
ties, his character and experience are
guaranty that he will prove fully
equal to every emergency and more
than vindicate the expectations of his
friends and the public at large.

edly an excellent one. Where he is
best known he is known to be a man
OF distinguished attainments in his
profession and of irreproachable char
acter. The Philadelphia Times says
that an officer of Exceptional utility"
is thus secured to the District The
Press says that "his three years service
in Philadelphia is guarantee that he
will perform the duties of his new po.
siiion thoroughly, conscienliously and
well"
Altogether, then, the citizens of the
District are TO be highly congratulated
in having secured for their Commits
sioners men whose administrative ca
pacity, upon which everything de
pends, promises to be of such high
and useful order.

THE PACIFIC RAILROADS.

IL would seem to be almost an i'm
possibility for the Government to make
the Pacific Railroads conform to the
terms Of their charters and pay up
what they owe the Government. The
roads resist, and in most cases success
fully, all efforts to make them comply
with the law. They resist each de-
.mand of the Government in turn, and
by the employment Of able counsel Sc.
cure delays and pile up difficulties in
the way of bringing them directly face
to face with the law. 1t is safe to say
that never since those roads were con-
structed has there been time that
some question in regard to their obli-
cations to the Government was not
pending before either the Department
of Justice, the Interior Department, the
U. S. Courts or Congress. Very fire.
quently questions of that character
have been before all of them at once.
There could be no better illustration
of the methods pursued by the rail
roads than is shown by what may be
called the corrective bill of the House
Committee on the Pacific Railroads.
IL goes to the very beginning. The
Government spent nearly $1,000, 900 in
surveying the lands Of the roads, the
latter TO reimburse the expenditure.
This has never been done. The bill
proposes as bills often before have pro-
posed that reimbursement be made
compulsory. But no success has ever
been had in the endeavor, despite the
fact that the Supreme Court of the
United States has affirmed it to be the
duty Of Congress to require the pay
ment of the cost of the survey.
The other feature of the Pacific Rail
road Committee bill constitutes an cf-
fort that has as often and as unsucccss-
fully been made. The road on the com
pletion of every twenty miles, applied for
and received the Endorsement of the
Government on their bonds with the I'M
Outstanding that patents would be taken
out for the lands earned. But no such
Bo''hAo NNiS NNti luhcu OUl. i nus lnt
roads hold the lands, but not having
taken out patents by which their
ownership would be made formal, can
not be taxed by either State or munich
pallty.
The Pacific Railroads demonstrate
more and more every year that they
are very shrewd as well as powerful
corporation. The only man who even
succeeded in making a step forward in
compelling their compliance with the
law, Senator Allen G.. Thurman oi
Ohio, was promptly retired from pub
lie life at the very first possible op
portunity after he had made that step
Possibly the Henley resolution intro
duced in The House yesterday may re
