Mir. DuVall's Views of Ter
nlinal Plans of CheSa-
peake Beach Road.
UNION STATION QUESTION
Sity Solicitor Of the Opinion That There
Is No Objection to Joint Use of Tracks
Commissioners May Issue Desired
Permit.

Mr.. a. B. Du"all, the City Solicitor
has submitted 10 the District Commits
sioners IN opinion upon the applica-
ton of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company for permit to lay
Tracks and erect necessary overhead
structure north OF their right of way
or Benring Road, from Maryland Ave
nue. to Seventeenth Street northeast.
The application was made on behalf of
the Columbia Railway Company, and the
Solicitor calls attention to the act of
Congress approved June 10. 1898. by
which the Columbia Railway Company
was authorized to extend its lines and
to locate, construct, and maintain all
necessary depots, stations. sidings,
switches. turn-outs. etc, to be approved
by the Commissioners.
Mr.. Duvall says the location of it's
routes and the plans and specifications
foT the construction OF its lines, depots,
and stations were to be subject to the
approval of the. municipal authorities
Accordingly the Solicitor is of the opin-
ion that the Commissioners have author
ity to grant the permit desired
Joint Terminal Facilities.
The Solicitor suggests that the pur-
pose of the proposed construction is to
give terminal facilities to the Chesa-
peake Beach Railway Company. the in
tention being to jointly operate the
tracks, and later to erect a station on
the site for the joint accommodation of
the roads, and the question will arise
whether this can be done, inasmuch as
there is no express legislation admitting
the Chesapeake Beach Railway into the
District OF Columbia. or authorizing the
said companies to Jointly operate these
tracks.
Attention is called to section of the
act of Congress mentioned. which de-
ines the powers of the Columbia Railway
Company in respect to contracting with
other companies owning or operating
street railway facilities, the principal
condition of such contract being that
they shall not operate cars by steam
power After this consideration of the
law bearing upon the case MIR. Duvall
says:
No Objection to Rail Plan.
4 do not, at present, see any objec-
ton TO the proposed joint use of the
tracks OF the Columbia Railway Com
pany by it and the Chesapeake Beach
Railway Company. for if, in the terms
OF the act of Congress, the latter com
psny owns and operates any railway
connecting or intersecting the extern
sion OF the Columbia Railway, the ply
steal facts exist which Congress seems
TO have contemplated respecting the
joint use of the extended lines of the
Columbia Railway"

GOVERNMENT.

The experience of nations will sus-
tain the plea that it has been found
that new experiments in government
are often attended with hazard and as
often in reverse5 and calamity. 1t is
better, safer to stand faithfully by the
old, true, we'll tested landmarks than
to strike out for adventures in uneX-
fiecting, observing men know, to al
ways SO forecast the future as to dis
Germ results. The hidden rocks lie
right in the path and are not deserted
until too late. The human vision is too
short and feeble to penetrate the
heavy veil of the looming beyond.
When men unwisely md imprudently
embark on a view of governmental ad-
venture the probability is hat
misfortunes and disapphntments will
come. The i'll consequences are on
cealed. The shock only tells OF the
dangers that Turk near at hand. TT
alter the essential facts OF the gov
eminent upon which the whole frame
depends is ve;y dangerous and may
be pregnant with consequences Of the
utmost evil, FOR all governments are
artificial things. and every part Of
them has a dependence upon another"
Montesquieu wrote cautiously and
wisely OF government under a mon
arch, and one OF his saying is true to-
day, and applies now to thisirepublic as
well as to existing European govern
ments. He said hat There always
exist certain general causes, either
moral or physical. which act upon the
affairs OF every monarchy. raise it to
grandeur. support it in it's prosperity,
or precipitate i, to it's decadence or
dissolution" Rutchering the weak,

and established principles OF ethics will
be sure to bring forth corresponding
fruits in the eui. The safe way is 10

THE DEMAND FOR STEEL AND

The steel and iron trade is booming
with tremendous vigor. 1t is wonder
full how it has grown. In a few years
it has made such immense rogress as
to surpass Great Britain that thought
it would forever remain In the front

United States lead, and there is good
prospect that before 1902 ends the out

building steel cars and other contracts
it will take $500. 600 tons is the estimate.
