BELT LINE EXTENSION.
A Bill Is Reported TO the Commissioner
Detailing the Proposed Route.

A Bill Is Reported TO the Commissioners
Detailing the Proposed Route.
The bill changing the name of the Capitol,
North o Stree. and South Washington Rail-
way Company to he Belt Railway Company
and granting extension of powers was yes
terday reported by the Commissioners.
The route of extension as amended begins
at Florida avenue and N street, thence west
along NJ street to New York avenue, thence
west on New York avenue to L street, thence
west along L street. Eleventh street. and L
street to Twentieth. thence north on Twentieth
street to NJ street, thence west on NJ street to
Twenty-second street. north TO the end of
Twenty-second street to S street. west on
street to Twenty-fourth, north on Twenty
fourth street TO U, east to Twenty-third street,
south to street. and from S and Fifth streets
northwest, east to L. to Eighth street. north
on Eighth street to Florida avenue, thence
along Florida avenue to starting point
This extension is accompanied with the
proviso that unless the new road shall be
commenced within six months and completed
within two years from the date of the ap-
proval of the act granting the extension the
authority granted shall cease.
The bill PROPOSES an abandonment of por-
tions of the Belt Railway Company's tracks
and the addition OF certain tracks in the
southwest section, and of tracks on NJ street
northwest. between Fourth and Twenty-sixth
streets.
The Commissioners favor this feature of the
bill. and suggest that the route extend through
northeast Washington and include a north
and south line in the extreme northwest. The
crossing at Thomas circle. involved in the
bill. is however. Objectionable to the board,
as the traffic converging at the circle is very
great.

NOW FOR BIMETALISM.

The Presidents veto of the seigniorage
bill had been expected, discounted, and dis
missed. The determination to renew the
fight for the free coinage of silver had al
ready been made known. The fight has already
been begun. 1t is a good time now to
face this issue. There is trouble the world
over. trouble due to disturbed and wrong
financial conditions. 1t will not suffice to
plead simply for international bimetalism.
If England doesn't want it, the world cannot
have it. If England prefers the single gold
standard. the world must have it But there
is this qualification: this country is great
enough to have its way the world over, or
at all events her statesmen ought to be patri-
otic, brave. far-seeing, enough to insist that
this country shall have its way the world
over. They ought TO be wise enough to set
in motion economic forces that shall compel
the obedience of the financial world. 1t is a
good time now to begin to settle this financial
question. The ancient, tiresome, so-called
leaders of the silver cause must take a rest.
They have needed it for Il long time; their
cause has needed it for longer time. The
real financial prophets must point the way.
Six-day speeches have served their purpose:
the issue of Weaver and decayed eggs will
not do. 1t must be business. 1t must be real
leadership, real wisdom, real patriotism, real
bravery. Any editor, any Senator, any Rep
resentative. any college professor, any crank,
may suggest his remedy. 1t may not be the
free and unlimited coinage of the silver
product of the world; it may be the free and
unlimited coinage of the silver product of this
country. 1t may be something else. 1t must
be a recognition Of silver.

For Coming Smaller Dollars.

To the Editor of The TINES:
was much interested in the article in to-day IS
issue on Silver and Gold" by the member Of
Congress from Ohio But does il necessarily fol-
low, as he asserts, that if a ratio of coinage
were adopted, probably IS or 80 TO /, itwould re-
Quire the recoinace of several thousand millions
Of silver at an enormous expense and great in
convenience? II the present silver coins still re-
msined legal tender and could be redeemed at
any time by the coins which would be nearly
twice heavy and twice rs inconvenient to
tarry. would they not pass current as well as the
new?
The possessor of a silver dollar rarely looks
at 1t TO consider how much silver there is in II,
but rather how much it will buy. 1t is the legal
tender law behind il that gives it its main value
as all know who had any experience with the
trade dollar" which. although intrinsically
worth more than the standard dollar, became
worth ess as money.
Every silver coin at the present time contains
an amount of silver worth far less than the face
value Of the coin. The ratio between the COM
rnercial value OF the silver in the coin and its
face value is n variable one and constantly
changing. Why, then, try to force into the coin
IN amount of silver approximately worth its
face value at the time of coming, but with no
certainty of remaining so?
better solution would appear to be that in
stead of coming a heavier and more inconvenient
dollar to make it still lighter and intrinsically
less valuable, to be redeemable, at the option ef
the holder, at its face value in uncoined silver at
the current market value L. HENRY.

BRUSH AWAY THE coBwEBs

All Of US have read, no doubt, the report OF
the Dockery commission. This body OF gen.
tlemen has persisted, in the face of more or
less public ridicule, and doubtless against the
encrusted and decrepit notions of certain
hoary barnacles, in finding wherein the busi-
ness conduct of the departments may be i'm
proved. Its object has been to save the pub
lie money by facilitating and quickening the
public service. Give its recommendations a
trial, then.
The departmental service is hampered, be-
yond imagination almost, by stubborn ad-
herence to certain ancient forms, hampered
so much that it has been estimated that a
fifth of the public time is wasted. Matters
are referred from one person to another for
no reason whatever except tina. matters have
always been referred from one to another
hitherto.
The TIMES pleads for expedition and
economy in the public service. Brush away
the old. useless forms. Come down to busi-
ness without delay.

CHICAGO LAKE FRONT.
Uncle Sam Steps In and Lays Claim TO the
Disputed Tract.

Uncle Sam Steps In and Lays Claim TO the
Disputed Tract.
An important branch OF the Chicago lake
front litigation was taken up by the United
States Supreme Court yesterday. 1t is a
sequel to the contest heretofore waged be-
tween the city of Chicago, the state of Illinois,
and the Illinois Central Railroad Company
as to the ownership of the valuable water
front OF Chicago.
This contest having been decided against
the railroad. the United States now comes
forward with the claim that it is the original
dedicator OF the extensive tract known as the
Fort Dearborn addition, and that the city,
state. and railroad cannot combine among
themselves to use this public property with
out reference to federal control.
Solicitor General Maxwell opened the case
on behalf of the United States. He urged
that the city. state, and railroad mad litigated
the property among themselves, but had left
out of consideration the IN t that the United
States was the original owner TO this land.
The city had begun the erection of a public
library thereon. Mr.. Maxwell said such q
use was not authorized by the United States,
yet the library was for such useful purpose
that the federal government would not be
likely to interfere.
As the court was about to adjourn a propo-
sition was made to dismiss the case without
prejudice. This was assented to by the Soli-
citor and by counsel for the Illinois Central
road, but Corporation Counsel Miller, OF
Chicago. declined to agree TO a dismissal. He
said the needs of tho city OF Chicago de-
manded that final decree should be given as
to what rights, if any, the United States exer-
cised over the Chicago lake front.
He urged that the property could be safely
left to the local authorities. who would protect
the public interests. The effort to dismiss
the case was abandoned and the case went
over until io-day

TO PUSH THIS TOWN.

1t is well known that certain western COM
munities, under the spur ofreal estate specula-
tors. have taken measures to ''boom'' them
selves. Spectators have doomed southern
cities also. 1t is process unhealthy, fool
ish, fatal oftentimes. Washington wants
nothing like it.
But Washington needs and wants steady,
earnest, and truthful exploitation of its merits
as city of investment and residence. 1t is
the capital city of 65,OOO,OOO of people, to be
sure; it possesses historic, romantic, nat
ural advantages unequaled anywhere in the
United States. Its advantages for the invest
ment of money, however. are not sufficiently
appreciated in centers far away.
The business men of Washington. the own
ers of real estate, the bankers, the merchants,
the hotel keepers, can never do anything bet
ter with their money than spend it in a thor
ough propaganda, at once progressive and
conservative, of the advantages of Washing

AN EDITORIAL DILEMMA.

Benjamin Franklin Uppercase was editor OF
the Boomtown Oroide, Colorado. He had a
self-possessed manner and secondhand
press. He aimed to set an example to the
community. and also his own type. He felt
that he was born to write his name on the
annals of fame, and his editorials with pair
Of shears. Day by day he sought the public
welfare, and at night the public restaurants
he freely puffed the goods OF the tradesmen,
especially the cigar dealers.
Attention to these simple details soon made
Benjamin man much sought after. especially
by the guileess and innocent creditors he
had made. Among those who had strong
attachment for him was the sheriff. The
amount was Sc for an ink bill
And this brings US to momentous crisis In
the history Of the Boomtown Oroide. Six
months previous the editor had contracted,
along with several bad habits, for printing
the legal advertising for Boomtown. He had
also contracted marriage with one Of the
brightest OF her sex-one who was destined to
be his savior In time Of direct trouble-but
come to that later.
Just now Benjamin Franklin Uppercase was
bowed in grief. Here was Sc ink bill and
no s6 bill to meet it. There was no ink in the

REFORM ACCOUNTING.

Bill introduced in the House to Abolish
One Comptroilership in the Treasury.
In the House yesterday Representative
Dingley reported from the Dockery joint
commission appointed to examine the
methods OF business in the various depart
ments the bill to improve the methods of
accounting in the Treasury, the objects and
effects of which were given fully yesterday
morning.
The aim of the bill is to place greater
responsibility upon the auditors who are now
engaged in auditing accounts TO hold them
responsible. not only for the settlement of
accounts and claims that come to them. but
aso,make them responsible for the advancing
ofmoney to disbursing officers, their response
bility in the latter case being that they shall
disapprove such acquisitions for said officers
if they have not complied with the law in the
rendering OF their accounts.
The bill abolishes the offices of Second
Comptroller. Deputy Second Comptroller,
and Deputy First Comptroller of the Treasury.
and constitutes the First Comptroller as
Comptroller of the Treasury, with all the
duties, responsibilities, and powers that are
-appertaining to the First and Second
Comptrollers. An assistant comptroller and a
chief clerk are also provided for.

and were not personally responsible for
the bill. The general term sustained
this decision. when Bonynge brought
suit, and the case was lost every time it was
appealed. Now stenographers are compelled
to wait until their lawyers collect their fees
from clients, and if there are no collections

BIMETALLISM AND TARIFF.

The two greatest needs of
this country are: First, BIZ
SENATOR metalism, and second, a
ppoy non-partisan tariff. The
first should come through
NoAih la international agreement
KoTA. upon the motion of Eng
land, Germany, and France, in the order
given, and if they fail to take the initiative,
then the United States must adopt it upon its
own account, making new commercial al
liances with the silver standard countries OF
the world. The second, a non-partisan tar
if, is equally necessary to our future pros
perity.
The most serious objection to a partisan
tariff, whether it be the work of Republica ms
or of Democrats, is that it is sure to be replete
with Determinations in favor of those inter-
ests which dominate the politics of sections.
The so-called Wilson BILL as reported to The
Senate, furnishes powerful illustration. The
interests of those states which are expected
to stay in the Democratic column are cared
for with scrupulous precision, while those Of
states reliably Republican are ad valoremed
TO the very verge of determination. The
partisan nature of the measure is further
shown in its treatment OF the raw materials of
states whose electoral votes are comparatively
insignificant
1t is too much to hope for non-partisan
tariff from partisan administration, but
there is reason to believe that either OF the
great parties might be persuaded to enact
law authorizing commission to revise the
tariff along non-partisan lines. The duties of
such a commission should be mandatory
The law must provide that the rate of duty
shall be no more, no less. than the difference
between wages, taxes, insurance, etc, inEurope
and wages, taxes, insurance, etc.. in this coun-
try, and, to avoid the chances of fraud in
valuations, duties should be specific The
total cost of producing any given article, at
home or abroad, may be ascertained with
absolute accuracy. and the commission should
be deprived of all discretionary power.
Under such a system. with duties subject to
revision from time to time by the commission
whenever changed conditions required it, and
with monetary policy based upon honest
bimetallism and against the dishonest single
standard gold dollar. now worth 16O cents in
the purchase of international products, future
business depressions would be of rare occur
renee. and even then confined to small locai-
ties. The Wilson bill should be defeated and
. law enacted that would insure non-par-
tlsan tariff. H. c. HANsBRoUGH.

Henry Ward Beecher's Widow

Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher has complexion
which bellies her so years. Her hair is white
and her cheeks pink and white. A pretty cap
of Honiton lace. bright with blue ribbons,
gives an added charm to her face. Her toilet
is adorned with modest display of old style
jewelry, pearl brooch and two rings with
old-time settings, one an amethyst, the other
a diamond. Mrs. Beecher, in common with
many other well-known people. is in receipt
of numerous begging letters of various de-
scriptions. Not long ago the manuscript of a
story was sent to her. accompanied by note,
in which the writer declared, in no very pol

poor. and that she was very poor indeed, but

of which she was in pursuit she did not men,
