An Excursion Into High Finance.

Mr.. Harriman's jocular view Of his
operations in railway finance are not
likely to be- shared by those who read
his testimony before the Interstate Com
merce Commission. For he there appears
by his own admissions TO be a stock
jobber and Spectator. using for his per-
sonal ends great railroad systems as if
they were so much private property. The
watering Of Atoms capital was a worthy
example Of railroad buccaneering. No
sooner had Hartman and his associates
got control of this profitable property
than the cutting Of the melon began
Millions Of dollars worth Of stocks and
bonds were issued to themselves. and
later unloaded upon the public and others
at high figures. Among the fortunate
purchasers was the Union Pacific. an
other Hartman property, which was in
such prosperous condition that its direct
ors could afford to authorize an issue Of
Sl0o,000,000 in bonds. This issue was en-
tirely used in buying the securities Of
other railroads, among them the watered
issues of the Alton. which Hartman
had issued to himself and now sold 20
himself and paid for with the proceeds
Of bonds which he himself had issued
There is no pretense whatever that these
issues Of stocks or bonds were used for
the betterment of the properties or the
purchase Of new equipment. They were
simply employed, for the most part, in
speculation and in financial operations
tending to upbuild a railroad monopoly.
SO far MF. Hartman is away ahead In
the speculative game, as his profits on
the Union Pacific stock deals amount TO
S61, 0O0, 900 at present market figures.

As the navigation laws are part OF the
protective system. the sum of the whole
matter is that protectionism is riding on
the back of our merchant marine like an
old man OF the sea. Revise the tariff
and modify the navigation laws so as to
remove the harassing restrictions now
burdening American shipping, and the
American flag would eventually be seen
in every port. TO substitute shipping Is

more strongly upon US. 1t is protection

4 Matter Of Names

Sixteenth street is not 10 be called
Washington avenue. The conferees on
the District appropriation bill have elimi-
mated the amendment which proposed TO
Change the name, and the matter of
nomenclature is left open for the future.
We believe it will be generally conceded
shat Sixteenth street ought TO be known
~ another name 1t is a magnificent
boulevard, which now begins at the White
House and will in time extend in broad
md straight line to the Maryland
boundary. Many titles have been sug-
gested. 1.-THE Avenue of the Presidents is
sonorous and appropriate. but is probably
too long for common use. Executive
Avenue" is also suggested. but does not
appeal with convincing force. Wash
ington Avenue" is not altogether salts
factory. in fact, the difficulty up 10 the
present time has been TO select "a name
which shall instantly commend itself In
view of this uncertainty it is TO be hoped
that those who feel an interest in the
future of Sixteenth street will undertake
to think out an appropriate name. Perhaps
Federal Avenue might meet with ap-
prevail It has not yet been suggested. and
is certainly Indicative OF the character of
our government. It is brief euphonious,
and expressive. our avenues are named
after the States. Federal Avenue" would
be suggestive OF all the States. and surely
the boulevard is TO be worthy Of this
comprehensive title.
In connection with this other changes in
Washington nomenclature are worthy Of
consideration. Take Lafayette Square,
for instance. Tt now contains the statues
Of Lafayette and Rochambeau, and is TO
be the site Of the Steubeu monument,
ali commemorative of Revolutionary he
rOes. and yet in the midst Of the square is
"a statue of Gen, Jackson, who had no
connection whatever with the Revolution
airy war. II would be an appropriate idea
to move the statue of Gen. Washington,
now situated in Washington Circle, and
place it where Jackson's statue now
stands. With Washington surrounded by
his generals, the square would possess d
new and interesting significance, and
might then be called Independence Square
"A constant reminder Of the circum-
stances under which our national liberty
was so happily attained The statue OF
Jackson could be removed TO the site now
occupied by Washington. and the name of
the site changed 10 Jackson Circle. II
has always seemed homogeneous toreIegate
the statue Of Washington TO relatively
obscure position. Its proper location is in
the most prominent section Of the city
near the White House. and IL it could be
surrounded by the efigies Of the heroes
who fought with him in a square which
forever commemOrated our national indie
pendence, the result would be ideal
These are merely suggestions. but It
seems TO US that they are worthy of con-
sideration. They must. al least, interest

Discouraging American Shipping.

Mr.. Rainey. of Illinois. went to the
root Of the trouble with the American
merchant marine when he declared. in his
speech Of Tuesday on the ship-subsidy
bill. that no measure ever receives the
attention Of the House that provides for
the amendment or repeal of our present
navigation laws. which have for years
hampered and harassed shipbuilders and
shipowners in the most absurd and in
defensible manner There are but two
ways, Mr. Rainey tells Us, in which an
American citizen can become the owner
OF a ship. "One is to capture her in war.
and the other is to build her in our ship
yards and pay tribute to the steel trust. 80
third way was open until recently, and
that was to buy wreck and repair il in
an American shipyard, but this method.
under which 500 vessels were added to

been forbidden by act of Congress.
Not only is the development Of our ship

vocates Of ship subsidy are fond of assert

permitted to come in duty free; bat this
is true only in part. Free shipbuilding
materials may be used only in building
ships for the foreign trade. and ships built
Of such materials are excluded from the
coastwise trade. except for two months

search Of the records that but one ship
building concern has taken advantage of
free materials, the restrictions as 10 the
