And on that occasion the first Bill to be considered, according to Chair- man Heard’s program, is the bill to es- tablish in this city a free circulatin: Uibrary. That measure would doubtless hav Passed the House before this time had not the fact that Senator Gorman was making ® speech criticizing the President emptied the Hcuse of its members and deprived the District of time and legislation to which it is fairly entitled. To this particular meas- ure there is not nor can there be any rea- gonable objection. It has for its purpose the mental, moral and physical elevation ©f the people gererally, and this seems to be recognized by all of those members of the national legislature who have been ap- Broached by friends of the bill. With a quorcm present in the House on District @ay, the library bill will, it is thought, be quickly passed, but one of the drawbacks from which Washington has suffered so much congressionally is the absence of a quorum. The absintee habit on District ay is not the result of any desire to an- &agonize local legislation; it comes from a Jack of interest in the welfare of Washing- ton in so many legislators, who forget that Washington is the national capital. ‘The remedy for such a2 condition is within reach; let every Washingtonian who knows @ member of the House make it a point to see that member between now and Monday mext, and to ask of him that he be present until Chairman Heard notifies the House that he has no more business to lay be- fore it. It is extremely unfortunate for Washington that this carelessness as to District measures exists to such an extent as has beer apparent during the session Row nearing its end. Two brief afternoons fm each month is a time-limit much too ~ but not since the Fifty-third Con- commenced to be et exis sts even in the strife. Give the which have been promised to it and which @re its duc. out places where it can When the overhead-trolley preposition was first made to Philadelphia there was a great deal of objection, but the trolley- combine and the Philadelphia municipal xing having entered imto partnership, the public very soon realized that it had noth- ing to do but accept the situation provided for it by the combination. Gradually the Protests were silenced by the hired experts who declared that the overhead-trolley was ® much-slandered institution, and that the “damage which it was alleged to inflict upon persons and property was entirely imaginary. But now the people refuse longer to be fooled. The other evening a trolley pole. commenced to develop a fire- works-like propensity, much to the de- light of the on-looking small boy and the ferror of everybody -else. Flames six or eight feet in length shot outwards and up- wards, and for half an hour or more de- clined to subside. About the time the line- men secured control of the vagabond cur- rent an alarm was raised by citizens whose cellars were suddenly filled’ with water. No ne imagined that there was any connec- ton between the electrical disturbance and the flood, but when a force, of laborers dug down to the water-main which was leaking it was discovered that the trolley current hha@ eaten the entire pipe for a length of &wo feet eight inches. Such delightful pos- sibilities as these enumerated are com- mended to the consideration of local ad- woeates of the overhead-trolley system of street-car propulsion. —_—reo—___. * Virginia is beginning to be very much Interested in the “industrial (%) army mow encamped at Rosslyn and there is authorities to remove the vagrants from off the sacred soil.

Political chicanery when it descends to @he plane of corrupt practices is not en- couraged in the British Empire—a compul- sorily-moral feature which is worthy of imitation in the United States. The latest example of the danger that attends upon ursavory election methods comes from 8t. Johns, N. F., where Sir William Whiteway, late premier, and Robert Bond. who was his colonial secretary and chief lieutenant, were found guilty of securing election by corrupt practices, were sentenced to lose their seats in the assembly and have been Gisqualified from.any candidacy for four years. James Watson, another member of the legislature, was also unseated, but was Net disqualified because it was clearly shown that he was ignorant of the game whieh was being worked by his colleagues. nm this land of the free and independent, methods adopted by Sir William White- would net shock the sensibilities of Politicians nor would they be rebuked by the law. Whiteway and Bond being fn power planned to renew their lease upon office by authorizing the expenditure of money for public works during the two weeks preceding the election, and did it in a manner not strictly in accord with the statutes. The total amount expended was $42,000, and with that sum, it was alleged, hen is of votes were influenced. As to the justice of the sentenc2 there will be no doubt in the minds of honest men, but scme of the practical politicians this side of. the international boundary line will deem it an outrage to so punish men for the ante-election expenditure of such a small sum as $42,000. It is a great pity that the election laws of the United States are not as strict or as impartially enforced as are the election laws in Canada. —__ ++ -+____ The suit of Marie Ouska of Chicago for damages for the death of her husband who was killed by a Lake Shore and Michigan Southern train at a street crossing re- sulted in a verdict for the plaintiff, and in @ statement of the law which will doubt- less be quoted very frequently in the trial of similar causes. The company appealed from the verdict in the circuit court, and in dismissing the appeal Judge Gary said: “It may be urged that no man exercising ordinary care would attempt to cross that network of rails, but the appellant can claim no right to shut the citizen from the public strect, and if the railway company makes the danger so imminent, nothing can prevent a jury from finding against it when injury follows;” in plain words, “the streets belong, first, to the people.” In :his city that principle seems to be almost if not quite forgotten, but it exists neverthe- less. It is a good thing once in a while to remind the public of its rights, and it is never unseasonable to insist that com- panies occupying public thoroughfares should do everything possible to make their occupancy as nearly harmless to the public as it can be. Some day there will come a Congress that will insist upon railroad recognition of the rights of the common people. —__+ e+—____ While Mr. Debs and his most intimate friends are deing ali they possibly can to. avoid the clutches of the law and-are declar- ing themselves innocent of all evil intent the railroad companies are beginning to turn in their bills to the city of Cheago for dam- age done to their property during the strike: The largest one of these accounts up to this time is that of the Pittsburg, Cincinnati and St. Louis railroad, which claims $41,691 for 729 freight cars destroyed and 42 damaged, and to this amount has added other sume for minor damages that result in a total “ 49,601. And this is only one company Il. Chicago taxpayers are not likely soon to forget Mr. Debs. ——e+ -— Corbett and Jackson both say they are willing to fight. This may be considered hopeful for those who enjoy pugilism, but it promises to spoil a great deal of con- versation. —_- +> ___.

A Herror of Asiatic War. “War always makes things expensive, doesn't it?” seid Mrs. Tidywell. * “Invariably,” replied her husband. “Dear me. What are we going to do for tea and Japanese screens?’ Practical Patriotism. With the machine's ingenious tricks, I soared like any rocket; But now I'm out of politics— Though nothing out of pock2t. Apropos. A “Get off the earth, will ye?’ shouted the rude urchin, whose path had been obstruct- ed by a kind looking but queerly-clad gen- tleman. He did not get angry. On. the contrary, he looked pleased. “Sech,” he suid, is fame. cane I'm kinder surprised thet ye knowed me, but it’s ter yer eredit thet ye keep up with whut's going on. It'll probably please ye ter know I'm expectin’ ter git off the earth in about three more days—jes’ ¢z soon es I kin git one httle improvement in my flyin’ mgchine.”” And the kind-looking old gentleman strode on, happier than he had been before in months. The Local Product Sufficient. “I hope the State Department will let the war in Asia alone,” said Bykins. “Why?” inquired Selkins. “Because, I'm in favor of encouraging home industries. The President can get up a row in Congress any day he feels like it that'll interest the American people just as well as an imported article possibly could.” The Senate Choir. Yes; we can sing the old songs, We're at them, night and noon; ‘The trouble with us is that we Can never sing in tune. He Took the Advice. A young man of this city was so much given to exaggerated expression that his friends found if. necessary to remonstrate. “Thinks before you speak,” said one of them. “That's the only way to do it.” < And several friends who were near fully indorsed the advice. “But that. takes time,” he pleaded. “I never misrepresent anything that is really important, you know. All I do is to allow: the exuberance of my fancy to gueh forth.” “It doesn’t make any difference. You are making a mistake. You are getting @ repu- tation which is hurtful to you socially and |. in a business way.” “What'll I do?” “Never say anything you are not absolute: Jy sure of.” __ “Well, I'll try it.” It was some days after, when they met en ; the street. Both were in a streaming per- spiration, and the friend of the imaginative. man remarked: “Hot; isn’t it?” The only reply was a look of earnest re- flection. “L say it's mighty bet.” The young man reached around into his ceat-tail pocket, drew out a thermometer , and after gravely inspecting it, said: “Ninety degrees in the shade. Yes, 1 think I am justified in replying to you, as I have to several other people tcday, that the heat is very intense, although nothing extraordinary for this time of year.” Botany.
