THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON: April 29, 1991. STAR has the fullest Local Cirealation of any Newspaper in the World, aed as an Advertising Medinm ts werth ‘more than all the other papers published in Washington. ‘The disaster on the Metropolitan Branch yesterday is another forefble reminder to the Baitimore and Ohio railroad of the bad policy of abandoning the work of double-tracking that important link in ite system. ‘The acci- dent, with all its destruction of life and prop- erty, was due incidentally to disobedience of orders by a railroad employe, but primarily to the failure of the company, notwithstanding repeated warnings to double-track the Metro- politan Branch. ‘This improvement was prom- ined by the railzoad, and for some miles in two disconnected patches the work has been per- formed. But with the change in the railroad management the double-tracking was sus pended and attention and energy diverted into other channels. The road under its present management is displaying enterprise and vigor and is improving its Lena rg fa dieaveer nerally in notable te EN Bteaster sagt to impress upon it the absolute necessity of giving its immediate attention to the work of,comploting the double track on the Metropdlitan Branch, which is so important a link in its line of western travel, and the local business upon which has grown to such large proportions in recent years. It is to the rail- road's own interest no less than to that of the public to prevent such occurrences as those of yesterday and of August, 1990, with the losses that they inflict, directly, in the destruction of life and property, and indirectly in the shock to the traveling public. eareematpabbinnad Rinses The state elections this sear are of unusual interest, not only because many of them will be index-marks for "92, but because these states themselves are in a political transition. ‘This is apparently true of Iowa and Massachusetts. In Obio the chief interest centers in Maj. Me- Kinley and the farmers’ movement. The au- thor of the tariff act has the field entirely to himself in his own party. But that which gives it to him—the conviction of the leading men that the issue of high protection is in-| volved in his nomination and election as gov- ernor of the Buckeye state—is also an element, | possibly the only element, of doubt as to the result, since there are disconten‘s in the democratic camp which in an ordinary cam- paign would insare republican success in Ohio. The Farmers’ Alliance holds a membership of above thirty-five thousand in Ohio, majority of the members of which society in that com- munity are republicans, and the order is grow- ing steadily. The farmers are not enamored of the sort of protection offered by the McKinley act, although in some measure it was framed to please them. Hence, while the nomination of Mr. McKinley is deemed « politic thing it may cause some defection of republican farm- ers, though it does not yet appear how serious this defection will be. The new legislature will probably show with some clearness the real strength of the farmers’ movement in Ohio. —+=____ Ex-Senator Biair is not persona grata, as the diplomatic phrase is, to China because in some ‘of his speeches he has said uncomplimentary ‘things of some of the Chinese who come to this country. Mr. Blair has merely voiced what nearly every American fecls, and if the Chinese government, in the interest of its degraded clase, is going to reject our ministers because of their opinions it will have to reconstruct American human nature and modern civiliza- tion according to Asiatic standards before it will find an American representative who will be thoroughly acceptable to it. Probabl; however, China will be satisfied with a minister ‘who has not publicly expressed these opinions. As the owner of the world’s greatest “‘navee,”” and from her insular position necessarily more dependent on that navy than any other nation on ite ships, Great Britain is concerned to know if the Chilian torpedo is going to be» continvous element of destruction to armor- plated vessels, and, if so, what is the value of her own torpedo as a defensive weapon. Great Britain is therefore looking into that little affair of the Huasear and Blanco with consider- able concern, and for obious reasons we take a deep interest in the investigation ourselves. —_ + ‘When the Humane Society has unfastened the barbarous cheek reins on the horses about this city it should also drive them up to the watering troughs and see if they do not suffer from thirst also. A horse driven on hot asphalt streets needs more water than thosé which work on streets moist either from the earth or sprinkling, and it is no uncommon thing to see drivers urging their thirsty horses past water- ing troughs, simply because they are too lazy to go to the trouble of stopping to give them water. += — The physicians of the mind who are in ses- sion here as representing the great asylums of ‘the country are perhaps the most interest- ing body of men connected with practical science in all the country. What greater than the human mind—what more mournfully fas- cinating than that mind in decay and rnin! ——_——re— A visit from the President of the United States and the launching of a national ship always draw big crowds. The crowd is bigger still when the presidential visit and the launch- ing come together as they did in San Francisco yesterday. The republic is proud of its gov- ernment and beginning to be proud of its navy. ——_~ +--+ ‘Mrs. Harrison launched a ship at Sen Fran- ¢isco yesterday by simply pressing = button and the ship did the rest. ns China never did know a good thing when she saw it. That's why she refuses Minister Blair. Bat why did she not file her bill of exceptions before he had started? Seen The farmers are proposing a combine which will put up the price of wheat to $1.25.
