A large slice of the city’s popula- tien looked on and applauded. But when the leaders of this parade, in violation of the law, attempted to force a passage to the Capitol steps for the purpose of ha- Penguing the crowd the hand of the law Was felt. These men have no pecullar right which requires a suspension of law in their favor. ‘What the Knights of Pythias, the Odd Fel- tows and the Philadelphia workingmen, who wisited the city recently several hundred strong, have been prevented from doing, @ould not, of course, be permitted to anoth- er set of men, who threatened in advance that they would pay no attention to the law. A greater gathering than that which wit- Bessed the strange parade and the proceed- {ngs on the east front of the Capitol has Probably never been seen in this city, but {t would be foolish for those who believe in the Coxey doctrines to imagine that any fonsiderable percentage of it sympathized with the demonstration, There was noth- ing that approached to disorder save the one instance in which Carl Browne figured, end he very foolishly unchained his im- Detuous nature long enough to indulge in ® brief and inglorious conflict with the po- Niece, Of this difficulty comparatively few ‘were aware at the time of its occurrence, wo the excitement created by it was merely local The multitude was mainly composed of the curious, and with the de parture of Coxey and his Commonweal speedily dispersed itse’f, wondering why it had gone to the trouble of following the army to the conclusion of {ts march. Coxey and Browne are now fully satisfied that law is supreme at the national capital, and that efforts to upset it by threats of violence will surely be as futile as was the endeavor to- Gay. —————++e___ Fifty years ago today the electric tele- raph first proved its usefulness in one of the most important fields it now occupies. ‘This ts the semi-centennial anniversary of the event that did much to convert unbe- Mevers as to electrical transmission of news. The whig convention had met in Baltimore and had nominated Clay and Frelinghuysen. Stephen Vail was at An- mapolis when the train arrived on which ‘were members of the convention proceed- ing to Washington. Vail was then engaged in co-operating with Morse in the construc- tion of the experimental line from this city to Baltimore, and he at once telegraphed the names of the nominees to his fellow- worker at the capital. The announcement by Morse of the doings of the convention ‘was received with jeering incredulity by many, but the arrival of the train was a speedy vindication, which utterly con- founded the viciously-obstructive and the foolish unbelievers. Since then the elec- tric telegraph has accomplished many more marvelous feats, but except in one or two instances they attracted no more than pass- ing attention, The news-bearing wires en- compass the earth and radiate to such an extent that but few communities that have ‘ny pretension to the possession of any- thing approaching to civilization are far distant from the simple instruments by which mankind keeps up an instantaneous ™means of communication between town and town and continent and continent. The few words sent by Vail to Morse set the world’s tongue to wagging, but today no one regards as anything more than com- monplace the daily transmission of mil- lions of words. One newspaper will receive from ten to fifteen thousand words by tele- graph in a day, but nobody regards that fact as at all wonderful. Even the tele- phone, the truly marvelous consequence of the work done by Morse and Vail, is ac- cepted as a matter of fact by the majority of well-informed mankind. Inventive man has always been busy, but he never was more acceptably so than during the fifty years last past. ——_+++____ Thousands of hearts will throb sorrow- fully at the announcement of the death of Frank Hatton, than whom few men were more popular and none more deserving of popularity. Commencing his busy career at an early age and in that hardest of schools—a printing office—Mr. Hatton elimbed slowly but steadily up the journal- istic ladder until he achieved eminence in ® pursuit that offers prizes only to the brainy and alert of the race. Born and reared in the west, Mr. Hatton was blessed with the liberty of mind which is so con- spicuous a western characteristic, yet these ‘who knew him best never regarded him as @ sectional product—he was a well-rounded and thorough American, proud of the flag and the principles for which he fought. For more than a decade Mr. Hatton was a resident of this city, and from the time when he became editor-in-chief and part Proprietor of the Washington Post he dis- Played a warm interest in the material ‘welfare of the national capital. He was ore ‘ef those comparatively few men whom suc- cess could not spoil; as Postmaster General hhe was the same Frank Hatton who set type in the little Iowa newspaper office until the Union demanded his willing ‘ser- vices In the field of battle. Warm-hearted, Joyal to his affections, he grappled friends to him with hooks of steel. ——— + +> __ ‘The Sons of the American Revolution cele- brated the anniversary ofthe inauguration of George Washington as President of the United States yesterday by meeting in annual convention in Washington. They Ukewise called attention to the fact, and the beautiful weather of yesterday em- phasized it, that our forefathers were wise when they first hit upon the 30th of April as inauguration day. —————see—___. This ts an era of promissory peace and theoretical good-will to men. On both sides of the Atlantic there is continuous insist- ence on immediate and universal applica- tion cf the principles of arbitration, and even in the midst of European militarism are signs of possible disarmament. But these indications of peace should not be per- mitted to deceive even the unsophisticated of the dwellers in these United States, for although mankind is comparatively pacific Just now, the time has not yet arrived when torpedoes will be converted into hen-coops or magazine rifles hammered into perfor ated seats for sulky-plows or four-horse harvesters. Those who watch the move- ments of Great Britain in the vicinity of our northern frontier see at some of the more important points preparations that are mot exactly of the peaceful sort. About two months ago a large force of engineers and laborers, commanded by one of the most skiliful of English engineer officers, com- menced the considerable task of fortifying the harbors of Victoria and Esquimault, so that they should be stronger and more for- midable than any other military or naval stations on this continent. Just now a good many Americans will find it difficult +o understand why Great Britain should spend $7,000,000 on fortifying the harbors men- toned, but some of these days, and perhaps not very far in the future, the reason will be only too clearly apparent. England's great- Bess is very largely the result of her strong foreign policy, without which the little island could never have became what is and commercial center im the world. It is intimated, and reasonably, that with Haqui- mault and Victoria impregnable to assaults made from either the mainland or the sea, Great Britain will dominate commer- Clally in the Pacific as she now does in other oceans on which her ships do a vast carrying trade. Of course, there is no threat to the United States in these extensive works which will soon frown upon the smil- ing, artless and unprotected towns on our side of the northwest boundary, but it is very evident that England proposes to struggle to the last for the gommerce upon which her national greatness depends. It has been proven beyond question that with- out enormous naval power no country can hope to achieve commercial supremacy, and without defensive coaling stations and pro- tected dry-docks naval power cannot last very long. This fact has at last impressed itself upon even the unthinking American legislator, and where there was once strenu- ous objection to the building of a navy there is now pride in the progress we have made toward the accumulation of a maritime Police force. There are some members of the present Congress who believe it would be economy to refrain from appropriating sufficient money to add to our ocean force, but it is sincerely hoped that the narrow- guaged few will not succeed in overcoming the broad-guaged many and that at least one or two new cruisers will be provided for before the present session comes to a close. And we are still too deliberate in the con- struction of coast defenses, —_____+¢«-____ All the arrangements are about complete for the transmission of electrical power from Niagara Falls to Buffalo. The force to be employed is a portion of the enormous water power now running to scenic waste at the best known bf American cataracts, Much of the machinery by which the nec- essary electricity is to be generated is in place and the only thing that remains to be done is construct the tunnel through which the wires are to be strung. The enormous potential of 30,000 volts is to be created at the falls, and at Buffalo it will be reduced so that it may be used for the operating of dynamos, street railroads, elec- tric lights, &c. Ten thousand horse power is the estimated strength of the first in- ‘stallment of power, and it is stated by those who bave figured out the expense of this great enterprise that the force can be sold in Buffalo for less than two-thirds the pres- ent cost of steam power. | Some of these days Washington will follow the example set it by those who propose to utilize o: of nature’s greatest forces, and then this city and the homes of those who dwell here will be illuminated through the opera- tions of machinery moved by the rushing waters of the Great Falls of the Potomac. It is rather remarkable that so valuable privilege should have beem unused so long. ——— +s New York policemen have petitioned Gov- ernor Flower to sign the bill giving them more salary. If the extra money were to pay the expense of tuition in a school of deportment, there could be no doubt as to the desirability of the increase. _ so The Commonweal army in Des Moines, Towa, declares that unless it car get a train it will stay where it is. If Des Moines will see to it that transportation is not forth- coming this city will greatly appreciate the sacrifice, —++____ When Dr.Parkhurst declares substantially that Tammany is the worst thing that his tour of discovery has brought to light he seems to be going pretty far. ———_- + ++ _____ If harangues are to be indiscriminately permitted on the Capitol steps, Congress will not be able to hear its own voice. Which would be a great pity. ————— 2 o- —___ Mr. Coxey’s idea of issuing money with nothing back of it is in harmony with his gigantic system of giving the unemployed work, doing nothing. ——__+++____ The consolidation of New York and Brooklyn might work wonders if the two ball clubs were to coalesce.

The problem of grade crossings has been satisfactorily solved in the city of Eliza- beth, N. J., in the heart of which, formerly, two great railway lines—the Pennsylvania and the New Jersey Central—crossed each other at grade. The tracks of the Pennsyl- vania railroad have been elevated, and its trains run on a viaduct through the city, above all the streets and the tracks of the other railroad. In addition, the grade of many streets has been altered so that they now pass under the Central railroad. The advantages to both the city and the rail- roads are obvious. Higher speed can be made by trains on both lines without the least danger of accidents, and the people of Elizabeth are free from the perils that berth — a on gis to be con- gra’ ted on the happy c! e that has been brought about. —_—~oro__. A Computation. From the New York Sun, Three hundred and thirty-six able-bodied men working six days a week for five weeks ata dollar a day would earn $10,080. Cox- ey’s army numbers 336 men, and it is five weeks since it began its march. —_+-____. That Interesting Rivalry.
