Brooms Which Do Not Sweep Clean.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The, public have been officially told that
the sweeping machines used here "are in
use III all of the principal cities Of the
country" etc. That may be. but is the
machine broom used on our streets the one
so universally used?. Is it the one the
Commissioners approved? A person who
ought TO know whereof he af1irms, inform
ed friend of the writer, only a few even
ings since, that it is not; that it is partially
constructed of ropes, and is of a much
cheaper and inferior makeup than the
hickory broom approved by the Commis-
sioners year or two ago. If this is so
that is sufficient explanation of the terribly
poor sweeping that is being imposed on
the community. The person referred to
also said the inspectors have time and
again reported to the department that
these brooms do very poor work; that they
cannot in fact, doisood work. and yet they
are, for some incomprehensble reason, kept
on. Would it not be well for the Commits
soners to look into this matter and as
certain If they are being imposed upon? In
common with many others hold the opin-
ion that these broonls are not only too
light, but that they are made of inferior
materials. And, Furthermore, that the con-
tractor is given altogether too much lati-
tude as to when, how and what to do-that
nearly carte blanche authority in the prem
ises." What argument is there in the
statement that he has used on the average
during the current year Is machines, 5
sprnklers, 81 carts and As broom and hoe
men? Daily results unquestionably prove
that the force should be still further in
creased. and that closer, more intelligent
supervision should be given the whole bust
ness than the prevailing methods of the
street sweeping department seem to re-
quire. At all events, the Commissioners
should lose no time in determining whether
these brooms, which, as the superinte
himself unwittingly admitted, cannot re-
move the dirt to the gutter "a self-evident
fact to thoss who have watched their un-
steady gyrations), but smear it on the
pavement, which, drying. leaves the dirt In
the shape of dust to annoy the residents
and passers-by next day." are made of the
materials they required and approved a
year or two since. If not then by whose
authority was the change made, and who
is responsible for it? 1t strikes me that
every householder and property holder in
Washington has an interest in all these
matters, and the Commissioners should not
ignore them, p.

WILL ENFORCE THE LAW
lexington Road Notified by Commissioners
to Take Down Wires.
July 1 Is the Limit for Trolley Lines
Inside the City
Limits.

It took the Commissioners exactly six
minutes and twenty-three seconds today
to pass a motion made by Commissioner
Powell, notifying the lexington and Sol
diers' Home railway that the Commis-
sioners would enforce the law prohibiting
the use of overhead wires of that COM
pany after July 1. The action Of the board
was made public this afternoon.
When the board met Major Powell had
in his hand the letter of Vice President
Schoepf to the Commissioners, in which
the former stated, as recounted in The
Star, the inability Of the company to COM
ply with the laws. The business Of the
board went merrily on, and several minor
matters were disposed Of. Then Major
Powell made the following motion upon
the lexington letter:
Moved, That the writer be informed
that the Commissioners. after considering
his statements. are of the opinion that the
retention Of the overhead trolley after July
1 would be in the violation of the law; that
the Commissioners will take action accord
irgly, and they suggest that the COMPANY
make preparation to operate the New York
avenue branch other than by overhead troll
ley after July 1. and to remove on or ne-
fore that date the present overhead wires
and poles"
There was little discussion over the mat
ter All of the Commissioners agreed that
II was the proper tNunS u w. anu thC scS-
retary was sent for and directed to have
a COPY made of the motion and transmit 1t
to Vice President Schoepf.
There Is really no excuse for the railroad
company In not complying with the law
of Congress- So the we'll posted say. On
April 80. 1880. an act, entitled IAN act TO
amend the charter Of the lexington and
Soldiers Home railway" was passed, which
provided among other things:
THAT the authority of said company. by
this act or any other acts conferred to
erect or use overhead wires IN its opera
ton within the city of Washington snail
absolutely cease and determine on the 1st
day of July, Ammo DENIM 1S93."
When the time came around for the COM
pany to comply with this law 1t went be-
fore Congress with a pitiful tale about the
uncertainty of storage batteries and other
motors. and obtained. February 13, 1898. an
extension of two years in which to make
the change.
When this matter was pending in Con-
gress the Commissioners in office at the
time urged that. mo extension he granted
Col Truesdell. who was president of the
lexington Railway Company at that time.
under date Of December 6, 1892, urged the
Commissioners, in q letter. to favor the eX-
tension. and concluded with the assurance
that only two more years would be neees-
sary to remove the wires. That would
have brought the change December =, 1874

THE SILVER QUESTION.
1t Has Been n Troublesome One to the
Platform Committee.

Platform Committee.
CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 2O.-It was
after o'clock this morning when the sub
committee on resolutions of the National
League of Republican Clubs, which had
been in secret session at the Hollenden,
adjourned. Mr.. Blackwell of Massachu-
setts presented a resolution, inclining very
strongly ard the gold standard, and
numerous other resolutions expressing all
sorts of views on the money question fol-
lowed in quick succession.
Senator Dubois of Idaho and Mr. c. E
Allen of Utah fought like tigers for free
coinage, making vigorous speeches, which
We're listened to with close attention They
spoke Tor free coinage at 16 to l, without
waitins ,'a.,a 1or the cooperation of any other
nation AS the discussion progressed a
tendency became manifest to dodge the en-
tire question by declining to adopt reso-
lutions of any kind.
A resolution was offered declaring that
it is not the duty of the league to adopt a
platform for the republican party, as that
important action should be left to the ma
tional convention, which nominates presi-
dental and vice presidential candidates.
MeSsrS. Dubois and Allen vigorously on
posed this resolution, holding that it was
the duty of the league to declare its prin-
ciples. The gold men spoke in favor of the
resolution and the vote was to 2 in its
favor.
The subcommittee resumed its session
aiter breakfast. Inc proposition of the
aEti-free coinage men was modified into an
address that would prevent the silver mea
from preparing and offering a minority re-
port.
Senators Dubois and Allen of Utah had
to be satisfied to prevent two reports going
tc the full committee.
! The subcommittee appointed Dr. Robin
son of New York. Senator Dubois of Idaho,
Mr.. Hardness of Missouri a committee to
revise the address. The revision committee
reported to the subcommittee at 10 am. to-
day and the discussion on the silver issue
was resumed. The subcommittee. however,
announced that it would report to the full
committee at . PIN, when it was thought
that all differences would be adjusted in
the committee room 50 as to prevent two
reports being made to the convention and
any fight being precipitated on the floor.
Meantime the silver men Of the west called
q conference for II o'clock to decide
whether they would agree to the compro-
mise address to the people instead of the
regular set of resolutions

Made n Haul.

Yesterday afternoon between and 6
O'Clock burglars visited the house of Mr..
L. H. Emmett, No. 1406 10th street. and
made a big haul. An entrance was effect
ed by opening the front basement window,
and the burglars went through the house
and took what valuables they could find.
Among the articles stolen was sealskin
coat worth $500. They also carried off a
large quantity of cutlery, silver ware and
ornaments The value of the proceeds of
the robbery is estimated at about $500.
AS soon as the discovery was made last
evening word was sent to the police and
two detectives were sent to the house to
make an investigation.
Another house in the same ne,ghborhood
was visited, but nothing was taken.
