In the present stage of development of the country | it might be unreasonable to protest against | the existence of grade crossings in the wide stretches of country lying between cities | and towns, or to demand that the railroad | company should be put to the expense of | maintaining watchmen at every country road that it might cross. But surely it is mot unreasonable to demand that the com- pany should afford every possible protection | » Where its line crosses well travelled roads tention has been called by a tragedy to a) dangerous point not sufficiently Protected | usually railroad companies take steps to recent shocking death of Miss Curtis when | crossing the tracks at Carroll avenue, Tako- ma Park, it was believed, would be followed at once by some measures by the railroad company to afford fuller protection to the many people required to cross the railroad | at that point. The coroner's jury made recommendations which, it was hardly prevent the recurrence of the tragedy. The! | ution, have been notified that their services will not be required after the close of the current academic year. To the un- fortunate half dozen this decapitatory an- nouncement has doubtless brought sorrow, but the wide, wide world will rejoice at the acumen displayed in the selection of victims. It might easily have been that a@ wrestling champion, a boxing expert, a foot ball coach, a first-class oarsman, a iawr. tennis enthusiast, and a superb base- ballist—engaged to diffuse knowledge as to their various departments—should have been declared the victims, but the faculty in its wisdom has done wisely and Har- vard’s reputation is safe. For a year or two Harvard graduates may be a trifle shaky as to Italian and Spanish and mathe- mtics, may lack a few non-essentials in chemistry. history and geology and may be less effective in their oratory, because an instructor in elocution has lost his job, but the athletic end of the university is unscathed and will continue to provide ma- | terial on which Princeton and Yale will | practice and achieve reputation, ——+ +s New Jersey is doing something more than talk about good roads. Seventy-five thou- sand dollars a year are awarded by the state under a recent law for the improve- ment of roads, and in every county the road question ts being agitated. The pres- ident of the state board of agriculture says that in the next ten years New Jersey will have the finest roads in the United States. The result will be an increase in property | values that will far more than equal the expenditure, besides such an improvement in the roads as will greatly contribute to | the comfort of the people. ee The friends of Galusha A. Grow have no doubt, of course, of his election to fill the |unexpired term of the late Gen. Lilly as | Congressman-at-jarge from Pennsylvania. When Mr. Grow first came to Congress, thought possible, the railroad company would ignore. However according to re-/ ports made to the District Commissioners | today by an official inspector, though over three weeks have elapsed, no steps have) « been taken to give better protection at the ‘crossing. If another tragedy occurred at) that point and it was shown that the rail-| road company had done nothing towards | carrying out the recommendations of the coroner’s jury in the case of Miss Curtis the consequences to the railroad company might be extremely unpleasant. One would | hardly blame a community for going to any | length against a corporation which would thus disregard human life and continue in | its reckless indifference even after such @ tragedy. Wise railroad managers ought to see that their own interests are best served by a careful regard for the public. jury at Takoma Park indicates either a © gross indifference to the public or an error | Somewhere in the administration of the officers of the road. >> Simplicity and economy in burial cus- toms in this country have frequently been | urged, but with little practical result. The | heavy burden of expense which falls with | rushing force upon a family in which a | at death occurs, due to a natural pride which | .;,Jeads them to desire to inter the remains 3 accordance with prevailing custom, is a ‘matter of almost daily experience. Many earnest words have been spoken in behalf of a rational economy in this matter, but still the tendency continues to be rather in the direction of greater expense and elab- eration of detail. A bill has been submit- ted to the District Commissioners the pro- ‘visions of which place at the disposal of the residents of this city as a place of “burial all the Jand in the Arlington estate | with the exception of that portion which | has been set aside for a national cemetery | and military post. The charge for a burial Jot is to be not more than six dollars. This | 4ucing mortuary expenses, and now some | one should come forward with a bill, or, ‘with some remedy that would result in cut- | ting down the outlay in other directions. | It is possible for people to pay less than | they do now for the various items which | constitute the modern funeral bill, but it weems that one funeral cannot differ very much from another without a sacrifice of pride on the part of the relatives of the de- feased, and so the useless, foolish waste | goes on, crippling widows and estates at | the very time when there is probably the | greatest need for every cent. It often takes ,all the little store of a family to bury its | dead. Sometimes the family is plunged | hopelessly im- debt. Testimony to the fact | 4; that provision for burial is a tax which the average family cannot readily meet is given im the success of insurance plans and, “ready relief” associations, which simply ' @ssure one for a sufficient sum to pay fune- al expenses, and agree to pay the amount | immediately at death. Lezisiation.of course, | ¢anot accomplish anything in the way of | refashioning funeral forms and require- | ments, but there is a good field here for | reformers to make an effort to change pub- | Ne sentiment. If those who could afford to | } } pay for expensive funeral trappings would wet the fashion of simple and inexpensive burials it would not be long before a gen- eral and beneficial change would be ef- | ; Zected. | ie It was generally believed that when Mr. | Cleveland took up the matter of the ap-| ‘pointment of a District Commissioner to} wucceed Mr. Ross he would decide, if he gave careful consideration to the matter, | that he could do nothing better than ap-| point Mr. Ross to succeed himself. So the nomination of Mr. Ross for a new term as| District Commissioner sent to the Senate today caused no surprise. In this ap- * pointment the President has had the rare opportunity of pleasing everybody, includ- “ing himself, and at the same time showing | ‘* his appreciation of Mr. Ross’s ability and afaithful services. The President is to be congratulated, as well as Mr. Ross and Bhe people of the District. see The ways and means committee proposes Yegisiation which is a composite of revenue- tariff, protection and free-trade; and an in- genuity that is remarkable has been dis- ‘Played in selecting from these different systems to be embodied in this composite those features which are unpopular and / (@bjectionable, while the characteristic merit | “er benefit of no one of the systems is at- tained. For instance, the committee threat- ens to impose upon the people a revenue- tariff which fails to raise the revenue, a Protective tariff which antagonizes the, _ Brotectionists and a free-trade income tax’! “without freedom of trade. soe It looks as if somebody had gummed the ‘ook when Congress got ready to turn over its new leaf. —__~+ e+ _ When the discomforting shadow of pov- erty darkens a pathway of hitherto aurif- erous brightness and renders necessary the application of economical theories many errors are made because the individuals who plan the retrenchm z are really un- mindful of the mo: interests that Bappen to be affected: ek to save ~ Where the salvaze is small and unimport- ant; are careful as to the spigot, but ob- Serve not the bunghole, as it were.

His return to Congress now, not | by a district, but by his state, after a re- | tirement of over thirty years, adds another somewhat remarkable incident to the his- tory of an interesting career. — +02 The determination to tax whisky, cigar- ettes and tobacco looks like a direct and premeditated blow at the industries of our neighbor, Jackson City.

The Washington Star closed the old year with the cheerful announcement that its increasing business had compelled a large investment in new presses. The Star, | moreover, justly finds its chief satisfaction in the fact that the prosperity which re- | quires this expenditure has been achieved | by the publication of a first-rate newspaper and not by the employment of illegitimate devices of any sort. 5 ae A Dramatic Criticism. From .the Cincinnati Tribune. “Unele Tom's Cabin,” a play descriptive | of life in the south before the war, was presented at the Pike yesterday afternoon. The reminiscent story of the play, of the days when slavery prevailed, is taken from the novel written by Harriet Reecher Stowe. . The central figure, Uncle Tom, is a who has a great deal of trouble.
