But legal provision should be made not only for preventing additional grade crossings bat for abolishing those already in existence. Such crossings are an expense in the require- ment of gates and guards by the railroad, or in damage snite for deaths or injuries where these legal requirements are ne- glected, and are danger spots to the public and obstacles to the development and prosperity of the section in which they are found. The railroads and the public are both interested in their abolishment. The legisla-~ tion which has accomplished the removal of grade crossings in various cities has properly thrown the greater part of the expenso upon the railroads, except when, as iu the case of new streets, the condition to be remedied is attributable to the act of the municipality and not to the original laying of tracks by the railroad. The whole subject of grade crossings should be regulated by a single piece of legislation. The railroads, assisted to the proper extent by the municipality, should be required to remove those in existence, and the municipality should be prohibited from adding to the number by extending new streets across the tracks at oe Jefferson Davis died early this morning at New Orleans, whither he had gone for medical treatment. Born in 1903, his public career as asoldier of the Union and the leader in the movement for Disunion, as Secretary of War under President Pierce and Senator from Mis- sissippi in the troublous period preceding 1861, is before the world. From Buena Vista to Fort Monroe this career was marked by strange vicissitudes of fortune. With- out taking a brilliant rank as a statesman, the abilities he displayed in public life prior to the rebellion were sufficiently marked to call for his selection as the head of the Confed- eracy. And though a good deal of the blame for the failure of the rebel- lion has been thrown upon his shoulders, it is not easy to see, in going over the list of southern leaders of that period,—Toombs, Cobb, Stephens, Slidell, Soule and the rest,— who gf them could have carried that doomed undertaking any nearer to success than he did. + The Children’s Christmas Club again calls our attention to the rapidly approaching season of good cheer and of good will. There isnoth- ing fuller of the spirit of this happy time than the Children’s Christmas Cinb. Its central idea is not to do charity but to teach brotherly kindness; not to give buttoshare. This is the seventh year in which it has brightened what to many a poor little child would be otherwise only a gloomy Christmas. Elsewhere in Tar Srar will be found a notice of the meeting of the club. If those who help the children in this work could only look in at the Christmas dinner and see six hundred beaming little faces with Christmas written all over them they would know what the Children’s Christmas Club means and what it does. We are sure that in this, as in past years, they will meet with generous help and sympathy. —$<$<$<— Although the scheme of a great national University at the seat of government was re- jected by the framers of the Constitution there are not wanting constitutional expounders of eminence who urge upon the present genera- tion both the power and propriety of founding such an institution, Mr. Edmunds follows in this matter the lights of Madison, Hamilton, James Wilson.

Cockrill of the New York World, Editor Charles Emory Smith of the Philadelphia Press, Aloxander Wilder, late of the New York Post, and James Kedpath, late of the North American Review, say all that can be said in favor of New York. Thomas B. Bryan, man of the Committee on Information, cham- pions the canse of Chicago. The overwhelm- img considerations in favor of the selection of Washington are presented by the editors of the Post «nd Stan. The woight oc argument is of course as a matter of necessity strongly on the side of the national capital, The supporters of the other cities display great ingenuity and ability, but the inherent weakness of their cases is too much for them. — The report of the Attorney General contains several recommendations that are noteworthy. Between the various plans for relieving the Supreme Court of pressure he does not express ® preference, but urges the importance of action by Congress. On the topic of federal elections and the violations of the law in con- nection therewith he says that in a number of states indictments have been found, trials have been held and convictions obtained and the guilty parties in some instances have confessed and thrown themselves upon the mercy of the court. A natioual penitentiary anda national reformatory are recommended.

The reply is given in tho stocks carried by the majority of merchants. Itiss fact that the stock of Gloves carried by the Palais Royal is as large as apy other two Glove stocks in town. The result of so large a variety is a perfect fit can be guaranteed any hand not positively deformed.” ‘The Washington Post, November 23, 1889: “TWO MAGIC WORDS.—Let these two words be stamped inside any pair of Gloves and those Gloves are guaranteed—if they split a new pair given. An- other cousideration—the ‘Palais Royal’ Gloves are cor tain to fit correctly, because styles are shown for those with long or short fingers, thin or plump bands.
