The Washington times., 1895-02-03

Much as Washington desires it, there is no
prospect at present ior cheaper gas. The
short lime before Congress adjourns, the op-
position OF both Senate and House commit
tees, and the muddle in Congress over other
important measures precludes the possibility
Of gas legislation. The efforts of QUIZ business
men are also concentrated on the District
bond bill, and their assistance in securing a
reduction in the price OF gas cannot be hoped
for.
1t is unfortunate that the public must rely
upon Congress for relief from the excessive
prices ofthe Washington Gaslight Company.
That monopoly seems to hold d mortgage on
the District Committees, and it is impossible
to get report from them in time to secure
The action of the House and Senate. Each
successive Congress refers cheaper gas bills
TO these committees, but by dilatory hocus
pocus they are never taken up until just be-
fore adjournment.
Nothing will ever be done to secure cheaper
gas until citizens organization is formed to
force more speedy action. The different sec
tions of Washington should organize cheaper
gas associations, and when the Fifty fourth
Congress assemblies united and persistent
effort might result in breaking the hold of
the gas company on our District committees.
With dollar gas moro than half million OF
dollars might be saved each year to the Wash
ington public. and to economize to such an
amount is certainly worth an organized effort.

MUST REDUCE The SPEED.

The presentnent OF the Kings county grand
fury after a week OF searching investigation
shows good reason why something should be
done to protect not only the public, but also
the employees OF the Brooklyn trolley roads
from the cupidIty Of the trolley managers
The chief cause of dispute between the
employees and the managers was the high
rate of speed which running schedules de-
manded. The cars must run fifteen miles
an hour or they could not make the specified
number OF trips, and as this was contrary 10
law the employees demanded change Of the
schedule. The presentment reads as follows:
"First. That there is IA alarming increase
in the number Of accidents under the trolley
system OF operating the surface railroads OF
the city OF Brooklyn, as compared with the
old method OF ioeomodon by horses. and we
respectfully recommend that the railroad
companies be required to change the r
schedules Of the various roads so as to allow
sufficient time for ordinary delays and stop
pages.
"Second. That the speed through the
thIckly populated parts OF the city be limited
to eight miles per hour.
'Third. That an ordinance be passed by
the common council preventing passengers
from rid ng on the front platforms of all
Surface cars.
'Four.h. That a special indicator be placed
in every car, in plain view Of the passengers,
that will show at what speed the car is run
ming.
Fifth. That the city officials appoint in
Gpectors 10 see that the speed ordinance is
complied with, with power 10 arrest and
bring to justice the violaiors.
sixth. That the executive officers Of the
railroad companies be censuned for habitualiy
violating the city ordinance with respect 10
speed, and that the corporation counsel be
requested 10 see that in future this ordinance
is complied with. and TO prosecute violators.
Seventh. That board of competent men
be appointed by the officials under whose
jurisdiction it would come TO examine ap-
plicanls for the position of moiorman. and
TO license such applicants found fit TO per
form the duties devolring on motormen, and
that none other than licensed men he en-
plOyed by the railroad companies as such
motormen.
Eighth. That practicable fender that

GIVE WORK TO THE WILLING.

Those who are warmly housed to-day
should endeavor to find way 10 help the
poor. Thousands in this city are suffering
for the neeessaries Of life and the most
trifiing assistance would be acceptable. Work
cannot be had this incIement weather and
our poor must rely on the generosity of the
public.
No one in comfortable circumstances can
realize the misery Of destitution and want. 1t
is impossible for a full stomach to sympathize
with hunger or fora contented mind to feel the
anguish OF despair. People with warm cloth
ing do not suffer from cold nor do they know
what it is to be without fuel or food. But
every one can imagine the suffering of the
poor. and hearts and purses should be opened
to their necessities
On another page viii be found large num-
ber of applications for employment They
come from all classes and represent many
kinds Of trades They show the needs OF the
applicants and their willingness to work, and
persons who can do SO should give ear TO
their appeals.
1t is greater charity to pay wages than to
contribute money to relieve able-bodied
poor Every honorable person prefers en-
ployinent TO aims, and the applicants who
seek employment through the columns of
The TINES are deserving because OF their de-
sire for work.

ployment Give assistance to those who are
worthy of aid. Let organized charity take

those who are willing.

ABOUT CONGRESS.

The defeat of the Pacific Railroad bill in
the House yesterday was severe blow TO the
railroad lobby. The impression has prevailed
among well-informed Members that the bill
would pass by a small majority. but the ap-
parent desire OF leading Republican members
10 load the stigma OF lis passage on Demo-
cratic Congress had much to do with its re-
commitlaL
1t is doubtful IL any more questionable
measures viii pass the House. The fight over
the pooling bill and the di- satisfaction
created bY its passage has opened the eyes of
anumber of Democrats. They now see that
their Republican colleagues will support any
measure that viii bring this Congress into
greater disrepute. and that it is necessary to
reject all propositions supported by the lobby
element.
The Nicaraguan bill is the next great lobby
scheme which the House viii reject. This
unpopular measure would involve the gov
ernment in an immense expenditure and
prove more costly than has the Pacific Rail-
road loan. The House bin differs somewhat
from the hill passed by the Senate. and it is
this difference that viii prevent its passage.
ii would be impossible TO railroad the bill
through the House and the conference COM
mittee in the short time left of this Congress
against the opposition it will develops there
fore the bin is as good as defeated
The same may be said Of the currency bill
Necessary as such measure may seem the
different factions and varying opinions will
prevent It's passage. Only one kind Of prop
osiiion ought 10 be considered and that is the
sale Of bonds TO redeem and cancel the legal
tender and Treasury notes. Such a measure
would practically end the rule of Wall street
aud prevent further speculation in our gold
reserve, but the opposition to the sale Of
bonds for any purpose would make the adop-
tion Of such measure impossible.
The sale Of bonds is necessary TO preserve
our credit and maintain a gold basis. Suffer
Ing as il is from business depression this
country could not stand the strain of change
30 silver basis. With gold at premium
there would be an upheaval OF prices and
capital would cease 10 seek investment. Busi-
aess generally would suffer from the financial
disturbance and the final result would be q
panic ana universal disaster. The present
Congress ought 10 see this and authorize the
sale OF bonds as proposed in the administra-
tion bill, but it will not do so and an extra ses-
sion is necessary.

WAUGH TO GET REV. ELDRIDGE.

He VIII Leave Douglass Memorial. and
Rev. Van Arsdale VIII Succeed Him.
The efforts of the congregation of Waugh
Methodist Episcopal Church, at Third and
A streets northeast, to secure the services of
The Rev. E. o. Eldridge, of Douglass Memoir
ial Church, for their pastor will no doubt be
successful.
Rev. DIR. Eldridge said yesterday that about
three months ago the pastorate of Waugh
Church had been offered him and that he had
accepted. This offer and acceptance. how
ever. are subject TO the action OF the District
quarterly conference which will meet next
March.
Rev. Mr.. Eldridge has been pastor of Doug
lass Memorial Church for the past three years,
during which time the membership has so
greatly increased that the question of enlarg-
ing the church is now being discussed with
view of taking early action. Who will sue
eeed Mr.. Eldridge al Douglass Memorial is
not yet known. IT is mistake, he stated, that
the charge has been offered to the Rev. Dr.
Smith, of Tennallytown, for so far as he is
informed in the matter the pastorate of Doug
lass Memorial has been offered by the trustees

IN SENATE AND HOUSE.

The Senate succeeded Yesterday in making
progress on the appropriation bills without
being led into an extended financial debate.
At one time it looked as though another
financial discussion was imminent, when Mr..
Hale, of Maine; Mr.. Chandler, of New Hamp-
shire, and Mr.. Aldrich, of Rhode Island, made
brief speeches denying the current reports
that Republican Senators were purposely de-
laying appropriation bills in order to cut OF
financial legislation. These Senators asserted
that there was no such concerted purpose and
that Republican Senators stood ready to aid
in advancing financial legislation
Mr.. Mcpherson announced that the resolu-
ton dscharging the Senate Finance Commit
tee and thus bringing the financial question
before the Senate would be urged not later
than Monday.
The Senate spent the day on the District of
Columbia appropriation bill.

The Ivy GeranIurn.

Curiously tenacious of life is that
beautiful plant commonly called the
ivy geraniun- Branches cut OF and
kept partly immersed in water live on
for months, not only with small loss Of
vitality in the larger leaves, but even
with some development of leaf buds,
and possibly some growth of new
wood. This occurs too, without any
sign of root development in the i'm
mersed ends The clippings are pc
culiarly fitted for indoor decoration in
winter, as the green of the ivy gera-
mum is so fresh as to suggest perpet-
ual spring.
