2 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: TUESDAY. ston of a bomb hurled at his sledge by a nihilist, the strangling of Paul L, the poisoning of Peter IIL. and of Alexis, son of Peter the Great; the shoot- ing of Dimitri ¥; the throat-cutting of Dimttri, son of Ivan the Terrible; the potsoning of Chemiaka; and the rest of the long line of royal tragedies running back to the days of the medieval Rurik all lend color to the belief—entertained, it is said ‘by himseif—that Alexander Il, will not die of old age or ordinary disease. The cable will tring us only meagre detatis of the present sensation, pro- ably. We shail have to wait till some capable newspaper ‘nt has succeeded tn smug- ling beyond the borders of the empire, and out of ‘the reach of the prying censors of the post, a writ- tem narrative of what has occurred and a hint of ‘what is farther expected from the revolutionista, $2 According to the Engineering and Building Jecord tor December, the city of Paris recetved a revenue in 1886 from the gas company monopoly of some $3,500,000, of which $40,000 was for right of way, some $2,500,000 being the elty’s share of ‘the profits, and nearly $1,000,000 in the form of ‘a tax of 11 cents per 1,000 cubie feet of gas con- amed, which takes the place of the regular tax 00 Ali coal entering the city. The city thus en- Joying so large a share in the profits of gas light- ing takes care that similar provision shall be made for its benefit in the charters or licenses for electric lighting. The latter companies in the form of license proposed are to pay the city an anual tax of $20 per Kilometre of conduit and five per cent of the amount of thetr policies, pay ail costs for verifying the power of light, income, e%e., hold the city free trom all claim for damages, and to sell right and plant at a fixed rate to the city, if the latter desires to buy, at the end of seven years. Wires are to be laid efther in sewers or in suitable metal or masonry conduits under the sidewaiks. Maximum charges are fixed. The Moenees are to last for elguteen years, with the ‘fight of purchase reserved to the city after seven ‘years, but are to be annulled if work is sublet to outside partes, if work 1s not begun within six months of date of license, if the supply ot elec- trioity 1s partially or totally cut off, or if taxes ‘are not paid up in time. Some useful hints trom these facts may be obtained by Washington in granting public franchises. A large measure of ‘contrei Should be reserved by the city, and a share in the profits enjoyed. ——— a A second failure of ex-Secretary Manning's Realth, which is now seriously threatened, will necessitate his permanent retirament from active life, both public and private. ‘This is precisely what his best friends urged in his behalf more than @ year ago. Reluctant as the patient may be to yield to advice which involves an ad- ‘mission no seif-rellant man can bear to make, and pamned as his business assoctates may be to see him quit the stage of affairs for good, duty to hina. self and his family seems to potnt in only one direction. Happily it isnot as if the field of use. fulness which he has so long occupied wefe lett unfilled. Industrious workers have followed him imevery place. His son is in charge of the news. paper he conducted with so much ability. He is Tepresented in the direction of the Albany bank, Whose prosperity he built up. His place in Wash. ington is occupied by a financier, who, im ability amd force of character, is wholly worthy to suc- ceed him. And, finally, his New York bank hys ‘a6 its head in his absence one of the shrewdest nd most practical managers the country has provnrced. ‘The time 1s peculiarly opportune for Mr. Man. ning’s retirement if he should see ft to e.¢an him. a Judge George C. Barrett of New: York, the bold, straightforward magistrate who has made himselt such a terror to boodiers and s®cia) revolut has resigned bis membershtp of the Nineteenth Century club because its founder and president, Courtland Palmer, has expressed views savoring strongly of sympathy with anarchism. Mr. Palmer Objects to the way he has been treated lately on occount of bis extremely distasteful opinions. He ‘was snubbed to his face the other evening, in the midst of a club meeting, by Andrew Carnegie, who certainly cannot be accused ot any sentiment of aitberality. Now Judge Barrett rubs salt in his ‘wounds by piatnly intimating that an intelligent man Who respects himself cannot afford to be pub- Mely associated with him. Mr. Palmer does not see that he bas done anything very dreadful. “My Views are my own,” he argues, “and do not bind amybody else, whether a member of the club or not.” This ts doubtless true; but, on the principle that men are judged by the company they keep, he can handly blame his late friends for giving him as wide a berth as they do. It may not impair a Person's character to be sec im the society of others #ho are known to be dissolute and vicious, Pei ag to impair his reparation; and aparch- a taint as far, and penetrates as deep ‘With it, as immoraltt; ——— ‘The colored people of the city have a substantial gfound of complaint in the location of one of their schools in the “Mary Hall” bailding. The damage threatened is not confined to one race. A blunder ‘Which mjures one of ‘the public schools of the city ‘works evil results for the community as a whole, Interest as well as the desire to secure a just pro. ‘ection for those directly threatened, suggest to all citizens that the Diunder should be corrected.

Police stations often fail 1% this role, the policemen ytelding to the Yemptations of thetr surroundings mstead of serv- ing a8 4 more effective check to lawlessness through the threat of ‘thetr near and constant Presence. The policy has always been to remove the yousg fn the impressionable and formative period a8 far as possible from contact with these dangers and temptations, and the system is a wise one. ‘Henry George sometime ago declared to a news. paper iaterviewer that he had no expectation of runting for President next year, but that his party would support any good candidate on 4 plat. form of free trade. What now puzzles the political phitosophers is to find out whether Mr. George said this after or ‘before the publication of the President's annua! message.
