weekly reviews of trade nav long been

them tends to make things better.
Both of these extracts in different
ways and different language recognize
the fact that the result of the elections
would tend to a restoration of confidence
and Improvement of business. There is
a great deal of truth in the statement
that whether men are right or wrong
they expect them tends to make things
BETTER and there is no doubt hat a
large majority of the people do expect
better times as the result of the late
Republican victories.

Tho PROPOSED ELEVATION OF RAIL
ROAD TRACKS.

The agitation in favor Of the eleva-
ton of the railroad tracks entering this
city has reached a point where it be-
hooves the people to understand what 1t
proposes and what it would probably in
volve. To begin with, the movement is
not the result of any popular demand.
1t originated with a small number of
persons and the agitation Of the ques-
ton thus far has been largely artificial.
without in the least degree questioning
the motives or the public spirit Of those
who nave been promoting the agitation.
the Journal feels justified in saying that
they do not represent the best interests
of the city. 1T does not believe that the
best interests of the city are ever rep
resented in a proscriptive or illiberal
policy towards railroads. They have
been a large factor in making the city
what it is. are very essential to its
future growth and prosperity and should
always be treated as literally as posi-
BILE consistent with the dignity Of the
city and the interests of the people.
The Journal is well aware that railroads
are not philanthropic or charitable insti-
t~utions. but it would be very foolish to
deny tina. they have done a great deal
for the city or to assert that it is wise
policy to invite their hostility.
The proposed elevation of the tracks
would impose an enormous expense on
the city as well as the railroads, and in
the end the latter would find a way of
%recouping their share from the people.
Tt uyo,,rd ;nxolxa costIy 1itioo fiop FOR tba
city and for individuals, and might re-
suit in changes that would cause a
ruinous depreciation in real estate
values. During the era of railroad
building our people were very anxious
for switching facilities. and the roads
have been liberal In extending such
facilities. The elevation of the tracks
would render useless every switch in the
city and make it impossible for many
establishments to have them at all.
Those who are urging the change ex-
aggerate the evils of the present sys-
tenn as well as the supposed benefits of
elevated tracks. The entire city has
grown up under the present system, and
If it has damaged property values In
any part of the city the damage has
been discounted. The change would in
fiict new damage in other directions be-
sides a heavy tax on the people. So far
as danger to life n limb is concerned,
more persons are killed or injured now
by the electric cars than by the steam
cars within the city limits. There is
more danger every day Of the year from
electric cars at some of the Washington
street crossings than there is at any
railroad crossing in the city.
The city ought to have and should
have as soon as practicable viaducts at
all exposed crossings, but it should not
enter on a crusade against the railroads
the only certain outcome of which would
be their lasting hostility, a heavy in
crease OF taxes. the destruction of all
existing switch facilities INK damages
to property far beyond any possible or
imaginary benefits.
