Now that the Commissioners. after their
unaccountable delay in dealing with SO
plain a matter as the nuisance maintained
by the Belt Line Railroad Company in
parking its horses on the public streets.
lave decided that the nuisance must be
ahated, few questions seem to be in order:
Why was the policeman's report on the
nuisance submitted to the general manager
of the Belt road before going to the police
department, but withheld even to this day
from the press and public?
Why did the Commissioners throw such a
veil of secrecy over the whole affair?
Why did they hold closely-guarded secret
conferences with the general manager Of
the Belt line. at which not only the re-
porters were rigidy excluded, but also the
compliments and other citizens interested?
Why were the reporters shut out from
all the hearings on the question?
What good reason is there for doing
away with the open and above-board public
hearings Of all these matters of public in
terest that prevailed before Major Powell
and Commissioner Truesdell came into
Office?
Are the Commissioners so blind as not to
see that however honest their purposes
may be. this acknowledgements secrecy
serves to throw a cloud of suspicion about
all their acts?

Would Thrill the Police.

The Rev. DR.. c. H. Parkhurst and Presi-
dent of the Board of Excise Joseph Murray
were speakers at a meeting held last even
ing in the Spring Street Church by the
Eighth Assembly District City Vigilant
League. Mr.. Parkhurst said: II hear #
reported that Theodore Roosevelt Is to be
invited to become a member of the police
board. The news seems almost too good to
true. I assure you that If the offer Is
made and accepted thrill will run through
the police department, from Tom Byrnes
down to roundsman. Mr.. Roosevelt's APP
pointment would denote emphatically that
Mayor Strong means business"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1895-04-23

When it was first intimated that Theo-
dore Roosevelt had been asked by Mayor
Strong to become a member of the board
of police commissioners of New York
city. there was no serious expectation,
In this vicinity at least, that Mr.. Roose-
Welt would resign his office as United
States Civil Service Commissioner and &C
cept Mayor Strong's profrer; now it ap-
pears certain that the call to duty in
Gotham will be needed. The Influences that
have moved Mr.. Roosevelt to forsake OIL
cially the broad field of national reform
that he might work In the comparatively
restricted area Of municipal New York
must have been powerful; nothing less than
a strong sense of duty could possibly call
him away while there is SO much for the
Civil Service Commission to do. There is.
to be sure. ample room for reform in the
New York police department, and it Is un-
doubtedly important not only to New York
city but also to the entire country-whose
gateway New York is-that the police Of
the big city should be of the best possible
quality, but 1t does seem too bad that the
pace Of national reform must be affected
because there is disorganization in New
York. The transfer Of Mr.. Roosevelt from
Washington to New York will not how
ever, lessen his interest in the broad propo-
sition in behalf of which he has here toiled
SO persistently and so successfully; oppor-
tunities to do good outside of the sphere
Of a police commissioner will not be likely
to suffer neglect. but 1t is unfortunately
certain that they cannot receive the at
tention which would certainly be given to
them did Mr.. Roosevelt contemplate re-
naming in the position which he Ia now
about to relinQuish. Who will succeed to
the vacancy so soon to be created Is. Of
course, merely conjectural; he may be a
very good man and a very determined
friend of civil service reform, but he is
hardly likely to eclipse the record made
by Theodore Roosevelt.

while 1t can hardly be argued that the
minority are turning their faces toward
vegetarianism 1t Is nevertheless evident
that education and experience-which after
all Is the most practical sort Of education
do not encourage such consumption Of meat
as has been common on the northern half
Of this continent. The climate demands
much more thar. could possibly be consumed
by jewellers In warmer ATTITUDES, but the
demand Is now more reasonable and more
easily understood than it was in those days

Confronted by q strong public opinion,
and brought face to face with the law, the
officials Of the Belt Railroad Company have
at last abandoned their efforts to use the
streets for the stabling Of horses and have
entered into an arrangement that at least
reduces the evil Of which complaint has
been made. The horses being kept inside
q yard, and the change being made IN
quick time, the annoyance appears to have
been reduced to a minimum, although 1t
yet remains to be seen whether the resi-
dents in the neighborhood that has now
been selected for this operation will object
to the use of that locality. The Belt Com
pany Is now paying for privilege that 1t
sought to obtain from the public for moth
ing. Assuming that it has the right to
alter its schedule and to cease to become a
belt road Though the assumption is I'M
WARRANTED, it Is apparently necessary for
the change of horses to be made somewhere
on the line. Until the courts can decide
whether the present transfer system-is a
violation of the charter of the road. the
tolerated changes Of horses elsewhere than
at the stables should be so arranged that
the public rights and the comforts of in
dividuals shall be abridged as little as pos
sible.
The interview with the general manager
of the road, printed elsewhere in The Star
brings to Light some interesting matters
bearing upon the question of motive power
The Belt road is known to be a part of a
great syndicate of roads operated in east
ern cities, most of them by the overhead
trolley. and many of them at great profit
to their stockholders. The local representa-
tives Of this combination have been openly
seeking trolley privileges for some time,
and have been baked at every turn. The
words of the general manager now seem to
indicate that these repeated defeats have
had the effect of changing their intentions.
To accept defeat as gracefully as has been
done in the case of the open-air stables
would now be a fitting part for these roads
to play. To bow to the inevitable and to
adopt some sensible and upobjectionable
plan Of rapid transit to cease to chase the
evasive unreachable trolley. is the part of
wisdom. Paralleled by two rapid transit
lines. this Belt road cannot hope to live
long as horse-car line There is ground
for reasonable hope. in view of Mr..
Schoepfs words. that a satisfactory ending
Of the long struggle over street-car motive
power at the capital Is close at hand.
