Congratulations all round are in order
because of the sensible and speedily
reached conclusion of the differences
which yesterday existed between the Me-
tropolitan Street Railway Company and
the drivers and conductors employed by
1t. The spirit of mutual concession was
apparent wheG the history of such disturb
ances would have led people to look for
vicious determination both sides. By
compromising with the men the company
saved itself from serious loss; by compro-
missing with the company the men obviated
the certain suffering that would have come
to themselves and their families by reason
of idleness at this season of the year. The
trouble originated in an error of Judgment
not easily to be excused. If the company
was losing money the remedy did not lie
in reducing the wages of men whose re-
Enumeration was altogether too meager in
the first instance; the way out is by speedy
betterment Of all the traffic facilities so
as to work recovery of the business which
transferred itself to roads that long ago
saw tine advantages to be derived from
frst-class equipn ent.

Mr.. Golf Is getting pretty high" with
his probing, as counsel for the Lexow COM

yesterday that he is not a mere time

office, but that he Is eager to get at The
root of the evil Police Captain Creeden's
confession that he paid $4,000 for his pro-
motion has placed that officer in a most
peculiar position before the public. After
several hours of struggling with his natural
aversion to being known as an informer,
he took the stand manfully and told with
out concealment how he had, after several
efforts to secure promotion by regular
methods, been convinced that no officer
could become a captain without resorting
to bribery. The wrong had been done years
before. when this atrocious system was be-
gun-by whom or just when is not of pres
ent consequence. Creeden merely took adj
vantage Of the opportunity presented by
the corruption. If he had not given his
bride some one else would have given It,
No moral purpose would have been sub
served by his refusal to take his promo
ton by this means. There would still
have been police captain promoted by
bribery. and. 1t Is quite likely-for Creeden
man as the unfortunate officer who
braved his scruples yesterday. Creeden's
proper course would have been to denouuce
the attempt to squeeze him, and take
bold stand before the public. He would
probably have. been dismissed summarily
from the force and howled down until he

What are all these people doing in the
middle of the street," asked the sedate
passenger in the street railway car last
night.
They're watchin' the strike. We're tied
up" replied the conductor.
",Tied up? You don't say so! And yet,
when 1 come to think CT it, the line does
seer little slower than usual"
And he settled himself to wait with
patience that only long discipline could
make POSSIBLE.

could find no believers of any influence
whatever. What could one man do under
the circumstances then prevalent? Right
or wrong at that time, Creeden deserves
great praise for his manly course now
when the soil of reform is rich and the
conditions are good for d ripe harvest. The
applause that greeted Captain Creeden
after he left the witness stand with Mr..
COTS promise of protection will be echoed
throughout the land. He has served his
city better, far better than If he had re-
manned silent and so added perjury to the
offense Of bribery. The action of the police
superintendent in recommending Creeden's
suspension and of the commissioners in
suspending him will not meet with popular
approval Creeden is a better man and
viii make a better captain today for his
confession than the captains and sergeants
now on the force who, IL is we'll known,
secured their places by corrupt methods
and who. persisting in their denials, are re-
tanned on the active force and are still in
charge OF the public safety. Cree1cn can
well afford to be proud Of the fact that his
conscience at last is clear, and that he is
supported by a majority OF good :i,.zens.

Manager Allen OF Albaugh's shows a
most commendable spirit in endeavorng to
carry out the suggestions hitherto made in
the columns of The Star toward insurng
the comfort and safety of the patrons of
that establishment. Unfortunately, how
ever. he cannot put all the excellent recon-
mendations thus made into full operation
without the formal action Of the District
authorities and the active support of the
police AS to making available all the out
let's of the house for the quick and easy
exit Of the audience, that is matter en-
tirely within his control, and he can, by
his own order, cause every door to be
thrown open at the close of each perform
ance, so that there need be no ground for
further complaint that score. But in
the matter of enforcing the no less i'm
portant. measure of preventing an equally
threatening danger at the avenue outlet
by requiring cabs and carriages to take
up their loads at the close of the perform
ance at the 18th street exit only, he is
practically powerless without the co-opera-
ton of official authority. Drivers of both
private and public vehicles are proverbially
aggressive and obstinate, and it is we'll
known that at times nothing short of law
and the agents of the law can compel them
to observe the rights of foot passengers.
1t is hoped, therefore, that the District
Commissioners will lose no time in giving
the subject the consideration which its
Importance demands and pass the neces-
sary regulation. with the requirement that
the police shall see that 1t is promptly and
effectively enforced.

The unrestricted confidence in General
Thomas Lincoln Casey. chief of engineers
felt alike by the people of the District of
Columbia and both houses of Congress
Is responsible for a suggestion which de-
serves careful consideration by Secretary
Carlisle. At the meeting of the Senate Dis
trict committee yesterday, Gen. Casey was
unanimously agreed Upon as a member of
the commission which is to have charge CT
the construction of the new municipal
building, whenever that shall be built
Gen. Casey's designation as one of the
commission was made with full knowledge
of the fact that he will soon be retired
from the army and will then, In the ordi-
nary course of affairs be without official
status. But whether he Is chief of en-
gfneers or not he will. nevertheless, IL all
things go well with him and the municipal
building bill becomes a law, supervise the
construction of that edifice. There is now
a vacancy in the office of supervising
architect Of the Treasury. That vacancy
has existed for some time and it probably
could exist for little while longer-say
until Gen. Casey's NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. any
material damage to the public interests.
1t will be an eminently proper and sensible
thing to appoint Gen. Casey supervising
diCiitect, d better one would be hard to
hnd. He would differ materially from
others who have filled the now-vacant
place, he would make up his mind as to
what would be the right thing to do and
would then proceed to do 1t to the very
best of his ability and without even the
semblance of regard for the most power
full political pull" If, after careful de-
liberation, he concluded that a certain
public building ought not to be longer in
process of construction than two years, it
would be betting on a sure thing to wager
that the building would be done just as
solidly and as thoroughly and as artistic
ally as the money appropriated would per-
NIT. With such an appointment would, for
season, come relief from the scandals
common in connection with public building
disbursements; for awhile. at least, there
would be an era of honesty and common
sense. Other retired army oficers-men of
served their country faith
fully in civil capacities when their days of
active military duty came to an end. Why
should there be any hesitation in securing
such conspicuousiy-able man when the
country is really =. need of his talents?
Secretary Carlisle has near at hand an op-
portunity to make one of the most popular
appointments ever made by the head of a
department VIII he avail himself of it?
