NO NEED OF A CHANGE.

The request of President Dunlop for the
resembling of the order requiring street
cars to stop on the Bear side of street
crossings should not be granted, even if
some other one Of the railway presidents
should agree with him i'll this matter The
people are decidedly better pleased with
the present arrangements than with the
former, and as their wishes chiefly ought
to be consulted 10 change should be made
Important evidence in favor of the plan
now iu force is that of the police who
say tbatit works admirably. Innearly every
city the authorities of which have made
regulations on this point the requirement
is that the cars shall stop un the uear side
of the crossing. 1t has been found to be
tile safer method and is favored solely for
that reason.
Strangers coming to Washington who are
accustomed at home to observe the regula-
ton now in force here would be frequently
Inconvenience if change were made back
to the old method, and with such ignorance
of an exceptional rule is combined more or
less danger OF injury. There is all the
less reason for complying with President
Dunlop's request, as it cannot affect the
revenues Of his company, the traffic on
his lines, or the convenience Of conductor
or gripman, whether the cars stop ON the
near or on the far side of the crossing.

SPEED PREMIUMS SHOULD CEASE
Ihere is great rejoicing on the Pacific
coast, as indeed ought TO be all through
the country, over the splendid perform
ance of the battIeship Oregon on her
trial trip day or two ago. She far
exceeded all expectations and her build
ers will get considerable premium 1t is
reported that on some stretches Of the
course marked out for her, her speed
exceeded that stipulated in the contract
by more than a knot Gratifying as this
fact must be To her constructors. and 10
the Navy Department officials as well,
II gives rise TO the suggestion that per
haps the requirements in regard 10 the
speed Of our naval vessels are not as
eXacting as they should be. Better re-
suits might be attained if higher speed
standard were set up. tue cost of vessels
Increased, and instead OF Offering pre-
mium for every quarter knot above the
contract figure, eXacting a forfeiture for
every quarter knot below it.
The cruisers and batteships built for
the United states are as fine specimens
OF naval architecture as can be found any
where, and the fact that they were aud
are being constructed not at one but at
different shipyards shows that skill is
not confined to one establishment, a fact
i'll which the people cannot fail To take
pride. There is all the more reason,
therefore, to believe that the speed mark
for our naval vessels might be raised to
the point fixed upon by the British adj
miraty board. The latest requirement.
for batteships for the British navy is
eighteen knots, and if the English build
ers reach that standard the speed OF cur
| own bdttleships must OF necessity be
brought up to that point. Though this
class of vessels is not primarily built for
speed, as are the cruisers, but for heavy
fighting, yet speed is au important point,
not only for escape or pursuit, but for
Enaneuveriug.
1t was all right, no doubt, to offer speed
premiums when the United States navy
started upon its course of rehabilitation,
Of this policy is now unnecessary On
the contrary, ii viii be better to put he

met with good results. The visitors ar
rived last evening by special train at THE

Miles and others, with view OF getting
the government authorities Interested in

rudimentS Of military service, the main OBJ
ject being an acquisitionsto the National
Guard or regular army in time of need.
The second object in bringing the boys
to the National Capital was to show them
where the country's laws are made and to
impress ON their minds the importance of
the military work they are asked to per-
form.

CHARGES.

The graduated scale Of charges which
President Bryan, of the local telephone
company will put in force on the first
day of July, will mean extortion of the
most outrageous kind, and in many cases
is likely to prove prohbitive. II does not
take an expert in arithmetic 10 show ti.dr
such is the case. subscriber may sign q
contract for 600 calls year a t $50 and 8
cents for each additional message, and the
scale then goes up to sos for 700 calls,
S7o for 500 calls, $7o fer 800 calls 4
cents for each additional message. aid
500 for l,5o0 calls with cents for each
additional message.
There is not private family having
telephone III the house that has not occasion
to use the instrument more than twice a
day. Even at that rate the extra charge
would amount to SO 40 year. Few busi-
ness men send less than fifteen or twenty
messages daily; many j great many more,
but taking twenty as fair allowance, the
man sending that number would have an ex-
cess over the stipulated figure of $500
calls, and would have to pay $224 year. in
newspaper offices aud other places with
which there is necessarily frequent COM
nlunicaion the cost would approach ST. 900
a year, If 1t did not exceed even that sum.
Congress has the right to regulate UniS
| matter. and in justice to the people of the
District ought 10 do so in one oftwo ways.
II should either check the graspng DISPOSE
ton of the present monopoly by fixing a
| reasonable scale Of prices, or grant charters
10 the companies that have applied for the
privilege OF giving our people good and
| cheap service. That such cheaper service
can be rendered without depriving the COM
pany OF fair profit admits OF no question
Placing the prices charged blythe Bell mo-
nopoly in comparison with those paid in
Europe, the disparity is simply enormous,
| but even III Canada the rates are very much
| below those eXacted from the people of the
| United States.
The American Bell Company, of which the
Chesapeake aud Potomac is tile local req
resentative, is bleeding the public wher-
ever il has no competition. As soon as
that enters the field prices come down.
WashingtonianS should have the benefit
OF such competition as is ready to core
here, but if for any reason Congress is
indisposed to grant the requisite charter.
1t should at least take the local monopoly
in hand and keep its exactions within rca-
sonable bounds. President Bryan's au-
no. ucement is nothing more than a decla-
ration that he has the people by the throat
and proposes 10 make them pay just what
| he pleaseS To demand.
