So far as the current year is concerned the decision can probably be made to prevent any change in the method of lighting, eince the hearing upon the appeal to the fuilcourt may easily be delayed. The opinion of the Chief Justice is based upon doubts which he entertains concerning the al- leged grant of authority to the Commissioners by last session's legislation to permit a tearing up of the streets for the purpose of making « change in the public lighting, and while he is in doubt and until the full court can pass upon the matter he prefers to keep the streets un- touched. The comparative merits of the two forms of lighting are not considered. The effect of a final decision against the power of the Commissioners in the matter will be to nullify the privilege given to them by the act of substituting“‘other illuminating material” for gas. It does not seem necessary to indorse the view that the Commissioners, as such, have authority to tear up the streets of the capital, the title to which isin the United States, in order to find authority for the particular tear- ing proposed in this case. Congress gave the Commissioners the right to change the form of public highting, and unless, by so doing, it also guve them the power to tear up the streets asa necessary step in effecting this change, the people generally will consider that the Commissioners cannot touch the streets in the manner proposed. Until the legal question of the construction of last session's legislation is finally decided by the proper tribunal the public will be content to leave matters as they are. Not even the prospect of decided im- provement in street-lighténg will justify a breaking of the streets of the legality of which there is doubt. oo We often hear pleasant things said about “the new south,” its marvellous growth and the opportunities it holds out to judicious in- vestors; but the full measure of its prosperity is not understood until the figures are scanned on which these claims are founded. The statis- ties gathered by the Manufacturer's Record show that this year’s cotton crop will reach the unprecedented total of 7,500,000 bales, com- manding prices higher than those of last year, and raised at a lower cost than any crop since the war. The corn crop is likewise the greatest ever known, approaching 550,000,000 bushels. Wheat and oats, though not in advance of 1887, show an improvement over 1833, and are estimated at 50.000.000 bushels of the former and 50,000,000 of the latter. Indeed, the in- erease in the value of all southern crops this Year over last will range somewhere between 125,000,000 and $150,000,000, Meanwhile, the railroad mileage has gone on extending. More than twenty thousand miles have been built within the last ten years, during which period some 3200 000,000 have been spent in laying new rouds and improving old ones. The as- sessed value of property shows an increase in the last year alone of $175,000,000 or more. In mining and manufacturing enterprises the most encouraging progress is shown. Since 18%) the pig iron product of the south has increased from 397,301 to more than 1.500.000 tons. Within the same the output of coal has swelled from 000,000 tons; the cotton mills have more than doubled in number and nearly quadrupled in capacity, while the cotton seed oil mills have multiplied almost seven fold, ‘The diversification of industries is the greatest thing that could have occurred in the south for | her benefit; and the war, inasmuc’ as it foreed this change upon her, maz fai-ly be ea:d to have been a blessing in disguise. —— —— = The dock laborers in London have succeeded in their strike. In this result we have an ex- ample of what peaceful, law-abiding methods will accomplish, Had the strikers, frenzied by he 4 other privations, resorted to riot they mi; have been struggling still. As it was, their cool, sensible behavior won for them the sympathy of the leading men of liberal mind in London. The lord mayor, Cardinal Manning and other dignitaries of influence became the advocates of the poor, under-paid workmen and helped to conduct their negotia- tions with the dock companies, To the ers who try to stir upour Ameri- people to violence, whenever things do not zo just as they wish, this London strike ought to carry its lesson of rebuke and suggestion, There seems to have ever for the railroad ac nt which occurred on the cit,"s edge last night, and which nar- nowly eseaped being one of the most frightful disasters of recent times, A freight train bound north was shifted from its proper track to the south-bo track to avoid an obstruc- tion, and a passenger train bound south ran into it. Who was to blame for allowing a north-bound train to take the south-bound track without using every means to signal or lock the south-bound train which was known to be overdac? Why, indeed, was any north- bound train allowed to take the south-bound track until it was known to be clear of south- bound trains? These are the questions which the managers of the Baltimore and Potomac road owe it to themselves to answer, and when the guilty person is found he should be treated to the full penalty of the law. Human life is too precious tobe put at the mercy of such carelessuess, += The appointment of Mr. Benj. A. Miller of Montgomery county, Md., an Indian inspector isa most worthy one. Mr. Miller has the same reputation that his lamented brother, the late Francis Miller bore, for nobility of character and clear-headed business capacity. No better appointment for the place could possibly have been made. $$ + ____ Under the able management of George O. Jones, the greenback party suffers less internal quarrels than any of the other national organi- zutions. It meets somewhere ouce a year, and, as it gives every member a seat on the execu- tive committee, there is no backbiting or bad blood, Se The alleged movemeat in behalf of a world’s fair in New York seems to have got no further than talk, The finance committee will do nothing untila site is selected for the exposition buildings and the wrangle over that point is farther from settlement than ever.

Ina recent case that attracted wide attention, the victim received acurrent of 1.500 volts. Yesterday a man who had slipped on au iron awning-rail in a New York city street, and caught at the overhead wires for support, received about 750 volts and seems to have been killed instantly. It is calculated that anything above 500 volts is perilous, the degree differing with the physical condition of the object of experiment, the state of the at- mosphere, and other variable incidents, It ought not to take the courts long to decide the question before them, from the evidence pro- daced from everyday life, whether the testi- mony of the experts is contradictory or not. po Resales _enbeneetintceninenncenst aime MEKICAN ICE CO., Saco cg ICE CO. er BYENGHScor ph ein Be by by ed Wea ot Telaphobe, 280-2" acre EM.
