UnObJectiOnabIe Rapid Transit.

Ihough the danger of a local overhead
trolley invasion is probably now safely
passed, 1t is yet gratifying to note occa-
sional evidences that come to hand to prove
the wisdom Of the unrelenting fight against
the overhead system waged SO long and
with such success ultimately by The Star.
A trolley pole in Brooklyn yesterday be
came surcharged with electricity from de-
fect1ye insulation, and several persons who
CHANGED to touch 1t were severely shocked.
1t required a police guard to keep the peo-
pie from being further endangered while
the electricians were repairing the fault.
Thns the already antiquated system Is con-
demning itself with regularity. and It is not
too much to expect that in the year 1900 q
trolley car. with its vibrant pole and its
accompanying street obstructions, will he
as great curio in the thoroughfares Of q
city as bob-tail horse car is today. The
minds OF transportation experts have long
ago been diverted from the trolley as a
temporary expedient, transition process
that bridged over the period of evolution
from the horse car to the perfect electrical
device, and it is noteworthy that there il
scarcely large transportation company in
this country now using the old-fashioned
trolley that Is not experimenting with
other systems and planning extensive al
terations. In Chicago the overhead trolley
Is thoroughly discredited, and the city Is
going through a reformatory process that
Is exceedingly interesting to Washing
tonians. who were happily saved from this
annoying necessity by the preventive cam.

House. and the committee should see that
the time Is not taken away for other pur-
poses. There are but two measures Of local
interest now in shape for passage then, but
they can be conveniently disposed Of ON
that occasion and the local legislative year
will be we'll begun by their passage. These
are the bill providing for an extension of
the time fc- making assessments. and the
bill-already passed by the Senate-amend-
Ing the highway act. The latter measure
has been confused in some quarters with
the proposition to issue bonds for street
and sewer Extensions, whereas it merely
clears up question Of appellate jurisdic-
tion In the cases now pending before the
District Supreme Court, growing out of the
existing highway act. 1t is purely formal
and technical matter, the result Of the
organization Of the District Court of Ap-
peals.
The extension Of the assessment reriod
Is made requisite by the inability of the
board of assessors to complete their heavy
task within the specified time, owing to
the imposition upon them of the excise
business Of the District While it Is to be
expected that these measures will provoke
more or less discussion there is no material
interest involved in them that should sum-
mon obstructive tactics to its aid. Let the
first District day set good pace for the
session.

An Object Lesson.

The present opaqusness and solidity of
the Potomac water naturally turns the
thoughts of citizens toward filtration as ap-
psrently the only effective remedy, and the
public is gradually, but steadily, approach
Ing the conclusion that while filtration
plant comes high, we must have it. 1t is
desirable that the minds Of our legislators
should move at least as rapidly as local
public sentiment IN the same direction
Many Senators and most Representatives
reside during the sessions here in hotels
and boarding houses, where great care is
taken to provide clean water for drinking
and layatory purposes. The Star suggests
that 1t would be an emihently wise thing
for the proprietors of such establishments
which are patronized by Congressman, to
make an agreement to furnish their pa
trons during the twenty-four hours COM
mencing at u o'clock tomorrow night, for
instance, with uufiltered water drawn ex-
clusiyely in its natural condition from the
pipes In this way Congress could be made
personally acquainted with the liquid mud
that the people of the national capital
must, it seems, use for drinking and bath
ing purposes every time there is a heavy
rain up the river, and would be prepared to
discuss filtration propositions with the ac-
quired Knowledge of experts.

All Ready for Tomorrow.

On the eve Of The Star Santa Claus Club
pound party for the benefit of the suffering
poor of the District 1t looks as though that
affair, which is to be held tomorrow, will
bs an unprecedented success. But it cannot
be too great success to meet the needs of
the situation, for the necessity for money
and supplies is very pressing indeed The
arrangements for the pound party are about
completed. The children of the public
schools, who are the main constituents of
the Santa Claus Club have received ample
warning that they may give their pounds
tomorrow, and preparations have been made
for the prompt collection and the effective
distribution of the supplies In the rush of
giving pounds of food and fuel the benev-
clent people who have little ones in the
public schools should recollect that money
contributions are asked for the purpose of
supplying shoes and stockings for the chill
dren of the poor who are now unable to at
tend school because they lack these neces-
stiles This money will be carefully ex-
pended by the school authorities who have
handled similar funds for the same object
In past years with excellent results. The
food supply Is of exceptional Importance
and the pounds should flow into the school
houses and into the branch at The Star
Office in such quantity that all fear of hun
ger will be dspelled for some time to come.
There is not the least objection to the dona-
tion Of coal, and the pound party is organ
lied on such broad and liberal lines that the
heartfest welcome will be given to gift of
2.24O pounds in one lot from some large
hearted citizen. A cord of fre-wood weighs
more than a pound, but 1t viii not be re-
jected IL sent A barrel of flour or sack of
potatoes would tip the scale a many pounds.
yet there is plenty of room for just such
gifts and they will do a world of good In
dividual pounds will be accepted and utilized
in the same spirit of thankful gratitude.
So one and all. young and old. work heartily
together for the great event of tomorroM!

District Affairs in the House.

With the appointment Of subtomrnittees
the House District committee Is now In
shape to begin in earnest the work Of sup

The subordinate bodies, 1t appears, are to
be given more authority and prestige this
year than heretofore, and in some ways this
change will operate advantageously TO the
best interest Of the District people. 1t is ex-
pected for instance, that there will be more
opportunity for hearings. at which the
citizens may give voice to their wants.

The BLESSINGS of Wnr

If. as a result of the hot fight between the
rival electric lighting plants, that part OF
settled Washington which lies beyond Flor.
ida avenue is blessed with conduit system
of electric lights, the suburbanftes will
doubtless be convinced that war has its
virtues as well as its horrors. These con
tinuations of Washington, though practical
ly a part Of the city, are technically outside
of Its limits, and the anti-overhead wire
law does not in its terms serve to protect
streets beyond Florida avenue But wha,
the law through its restricted wording fails
to guarantee to them seems to be assured
by the competitive Hberalty of the con-
tending corporations. So lay on Macduf

partiality every mighty stroke.

Crusade Asnin.f the Market Womc,


The position of the Commissioners seems
10 be that it is unlawful for the market
women to retail from their wagons on R
street between 9TH and 9th streets, where
they have periodically occupied space for
many years, but that it will be lawful for
them to occupy and use B street in the
same way and for the same purpose be-
tween 9th and 10th streets. Does not the
law apply equally to all parts of street
Does not a custom of a great many years
standing give the market farmers a
stronger claim to the use of that part of B
street which they have long occupied than
they have to the portion of the street desig-
mated by the Commissioners. Of course
the Commissioners have no power to dis
pose of the city streets and to make law
ful any illegal occupancy, but SO far as
they are personally concerned have they
not by inviting the retailing farmers to oc-
cupy one portion OF Z street stultified their
contention that the farmers occupancy of
another part Of the same street is illegai? :?
