He has requested the ci ys to examine the charters of the surface railway companies in order to learn whether they may not be re- quired to use the grooved rail. In Washington Progress has been accomplished in the march toward the universal adoptiom of rails flush with the pavement by legislation making the laying of such rails a condition of the use by the railways of electricity or cables aga substi- tute for the horse to furnish motive power. AS & consequence the wealthy roads are beginning to make, and will continue to make, both im- provements. The expense of the doublé reform will postpone these improvements so far as the poorer roads are concerned. But the public is accustomed to a great slowness in bet- tering the conditions of street railway and steam railroad service, and is happy to note the smallest advance in this direction. For in- stance, everybody derives encouragement from the fact that the Connecticut legislature has passed a measure for the abolishment of grade crossings, providing that every road in the state must remove at least one crossing a year for each sixty miles of its track; and as it is the only grade-crossing bill which has ever passed any legislature no one is rendered gloomy by the reflection that at the rate of change pro- vided one hundred years will be required to abolish all the grade crossings in the state. a “After ev every flood for many years past there has come a proposal to clear away the Long bridge and remove the island upon which rests its central causeway. The Long bridge itself is almost coeval with the city, having been built at a time when Washington had only about 10,000 inhabitants. Its location was fixed by the fact that the flats already existed and gave an Mt seehaer to find a firm basis for a considera’ rtion of the bridge. The mere removal of the bridge would not affect the question of floods unless the island called the Yotomac flats was removed also, and so far from removing the flats Congress has been of late nding hundreds of thousands of doilars in building them up and placing a rip-rap bank around them to secure them from abrasion by floods.” — Baltimore Sun. The Sua does not show its customary sound sense in this line of comment. ‘he objection to the Long bridge, with its earthen causeway and its low-built structure, is that on the occa- sion of high water it obstructs floating ice or other material and converts itself into a huge dam, chokmg the river and turning the cur- rent in upon the city. The flats will not ob- struct the channel flow of the river, and their tendency, whea completed and secured from flood invasion, will be to remove the point of attack by freshets a long distance from the business streets which are at present exposed. They will constitute a bulwark for the defence of the city, and nota flood-threatening dam like the Long bridge. The latter is a nuisance and ought to be abated. The bridge acroas the Potomac at Washington ought to be high and strong and sightly, not a disereditable and dan- gerous obstruction of th: stream. SS EEE It is alittle too early to set it down as cer- tain, because Mr. Brice was unanimously chosen to preside over the democratic national committee, that Mr. Cleveland is already as good as nominated for the campaign of 1892. It may be true, as his friends assert, that the ex-President is to-day the foremost figure in the prophetic talk of his party; but, as he was mayor of Brifalo as late as 1832, and yet was elected President in 18$4, some other mayor, still unheard of outside of his own town, has, according to his precedent,a whole year to spare in which to work up a boom for a gov- ernorship, with the chance of further promo- tion in store. Mr. Cleveland makes a very presentable show of strength; but when it is remembered that there are in the United States not less than a dozen cities as large as Buffalo, each of them with a good opening for a reform mayor, the odds do not appear to be against the field. 7 With her acrimonious war over the senator- ship happily settled at last, her constitution amended so that the farmers who largely com- pose her legislature will no longer have to neglect their crops in order to attend mid-sum- mer sessions and a governor installed who pub- licly announces his desire for a ballot-reform law, New Hampshire ought to draw along breath of relief. $< The District of Columbia, not less than the state of New Hampshire and the country at large, is to be congratulated on the return of William E. Chandler to the Senate of the United States, Able, alert, experienced in public af- fairs and having the courage of his convictions, he is a most capable legislator. He has further- more sufficient breadth of view to realize that the national capital iv a part of the United States, and therefore entitled to some consid- eration at the hands of those administering the general government. This view is becoming more generally entertained than it used to be, but it is not yet so common as it should be Hence an accession to the ranks of those hold- ing it is a circumstance worth noting as of special interest to Washington. $$$ + << The tone of newspaper comment on the fail- ure of the Connecticut legislature to pass the ballot-reform bill over the governor's veto, is dolorous to a degree quite unwarranted by the facts. The lower house proposed to amend the measure by limiting its application to presi- dential and state elections, omitting the municipal elections, in which the pro- cedure threatened to be cumbersome, and then to pass it over the veto; but the senate declined to follow this course, on the ground that it would be irregular to pass “over a veto” a bill which, in the shape in which it isto be passed, never was vetoed. The logic of the case certainly favors this view. All the friends of ballot reform have to do, if they are really in earnest, is to frame a new bill which shall be free from the objectionable feature of the one just lost, and pass it without delay. Then the governor would be powerless to resist the popular will if he wanted to, The restriction of the law to state and national elections would not prevent a valuable test of THAT THE TEN PER CENT DISCOUNT SALE TERMINATES POSITIVELY ON JUNE 29, ATOP.
