Commissioners’ “Sound Judg- ment.” Out of discussion as to the antl-legisla- tive rights of the Eckington and Soldiers* Home Railroad Company—which came up for discussicn in the Police Court yester- day—has come a statement which has it that Judge Cole, in denying the Schoepf application for a writ of habeas corpus in the long-delayed trolley-pole case, inti- mated that there might reasonably be sus- pension of further Police Court prosecu- tions until definite conclusion was reached by the Court of Appeals. Such a view of Judge Cole's remarks does not seem to be warranted by the record. What Judge Cole did say was this: “The object of the prosecution In the Police Court is to enforce the removal of poles and electric wires. If the poles are illegal they should. of course, be removed as early as that can reasonably be done without inconvenience to private property or persons. The hasty removal of them would result in both and should be avoided. The change to horse power is the only one that could be made in a brief period, and the acts of Congress show that that body intends to abolish such power. The change to horse power would therefore, in all probability, be only temporary. The continuance of the poles and wires until such time as they can be removed without an injury to private property and Incon- venience to citizens !s a public matter in the contro] of the Commissioners, and it addresses {tself to their sound judgment, which they will undoubtedly exercise. Over that question this court has no con- trol in a habeas corpus proceeding.” Judge Cole, it wiMl at once be seen by those whose mental vision is clear, did nothing more than announce that the obli- gation of enforcement was upon the Dis- trict Commissloners. In an entirely extra- judicial way he intimated that it would rot be improper were the Commissioners to permit the poles and overhead wires to re- main until the railroad company should have in working order a modern and under- ground substitute for the crude trolley sys- tem which continues to be operated on New York avenue. Whether there should be delay in enforcement of the law, which insists that the poles and wires shall come down instantly, Is left entirely with the Commissioners’ sound judgment, and more than that the court could not do# Up to this time it would appear as if the Commissioners have not only been careless as to enforcing the law but have also re- frained from doing what they could to en- courage the Eckington company to modern- ize its equipment; they have neither put into effect the powers conferred upon them by statute nor have they apparently sought to compel a more acceptable application of electric motor-force than that which is now mad2 on the Eckington road. But the Commissioners will not of course abandon or permit to be sacrificed in court their power, judicially confirmed at every point, to cut down the Mlegal poles at pleasure or to compel their immediate removal by the company through an accumulation of prosecutions. Though they will not exer- cise this power, they can by merely holding it over the head of the company greatly expedite the work of equipping the Ecking- ton line with an underground electric sys- tem, which the company declares it is ar- ranging to Install. ——__~e+___ What Constitutes a Newspaper. It is a wonder that an inkling of the in- sufficiency of any scheme to increase cir- culation other than the steady day-by-day or week-by-week making of a newspaper good enough to attract readers does not of- tener enter the acute brains of newspaper mnanagers. During the past four or five years there have been myriads of schemes concocted to induce people to buy newspa- pers. Many newspapers have risen to more or less dizzy heights of prosperity, and have gradually sunk again to the level of their merits as newspapers. Some, indeed, have shrewdly reccgnized the illusory na- ture of the promises held out by the cou- pon, the book, the picture, and other de- vices, and have used them merely to at- tract attertion to their substantial merits. These have profited permanently. But for ene that has followed the schemes with real improvement, and thus held some of the transitory readers, there are scores that have not done anything of the sort, and have geired nothing but an unpleasant experience. There is but one way to boom circulation that fs really werth considering. It is to nake a gocd paper. Everybody feels the need of a newspaper, and every- body is going to buy the best newspaper offered him—according to his basis of judg- ment of which the best is.—Newspaperdom. As Newspaperdom sensibly suggests It 1s a mistake to suppose that anything but superior performance of the newspaper's function of honestly printing the news can give permanent advantage to one paper over another. It is likewise a blunder, sometimes made, to believe that popularity and success can be gained by envious snarling at the heels of a successful com- petitor, by persistently and malignantly li- belling and coarsely abusing a contem- porary. The malicious and yenomous sheet loses the business advantage of the indi- rect advertising of references to it In the more widely circulated newspaper, for no self-respecting paper pays attention to such discharges of filth in its direction, any more than the wise farmer resents the demonstrations of a skunk; and the per- centage of respectable readers among the subscribers to such a publication soon be- come Ured and disgusted with a literary diet which starves them as to news and stuffs them to repletion with spiteful libels and lying blackguardisms. —___+ + ___ Thomas B.

Proper economy is unquestionably a vir- tue, and one to be cultivated both in the private and public interest, but economy that is not economical is mere foolishness, and at times foolishness of a dangerous scrt, and should find no place in the doings of these latter days of the nineteenth cen- tury. Perhaps someone may make a fairly eatisfactory explanation of the reasoning or lack of it which has practically nullified the thing which Congress most desired to do as t» the addition to the Government Printing Office butlding, but the chances are that not even a past-master in the art of sophistry can argue successfully that It was economy to create space in the newly-erected portion of the printing office structure at the expense of safety. After much debate and petition and deliberation, Congress authorized the erection of an addition to a structure which, unless_re- lieved of a considerable proportion of the weight with which it was burdened, would Probably collapse, and in so doing might drag down into its ruins hurdreds of hu- man beings. Cok John M. Wilson of the corps of army engineers, ably assisted, has done his best to make the new building se- cure beyond the possibilities of collapse; but it now appears as if an inconsiderate Searcher after interior space had, by the cutting of the steel tle-rods, seriously threatened the safety of an edifice the se- curity of whi ought to be bevond sus- Piclon. It appears as though the injury which has been done cannot be repaired without congressional action, for the re- coupling of the tle-rods would be quite an expensive operation, so that the addition to the printing office will have te remain in its present unsatisfactory condition for some time yet. It is unfortunate that there is no one individual who can control abso- lutely the cons‘ruction and repair of all public buildings. Were there such a per- son, then there would be no difficulty in fixing the responsibility. ————~ ++ ____ _ Warfsre for Revenue Only. Somebody out in the vicinity of the more or less thriving settlement of Valentine, Neb., must have a lot of forage to sell. There has been no direct advertisement of such a condition, but the alleged informa- tion which has it that the Indians at Rose- bud Agency are preparing to go on the warpath would be conclusive evidence to those who know the modern frontiersmen that there is possibility of a special effort being made to bring about the presence of a large force of United States troops in that region. Most of the far western com- munities would be fairly well satisfied if they had a garrison as near them as Fort Niobrara is near to Valentine, but Valen- tine is ambitious, and would be exceedingly prosperous, If such a thing were possible. Therefore, seven companies of infantry and an occasional troop of cavalry are not suffi- cient for the purposes of those who find in warfare against the Indians much more of financial advantage than can possibly be secured in times of absolute peace; they desire the incoming of a thousand or more additional soldiers, called into the field for the apparent purpose of exterminating the noisy Brules who are following the leader- ship of that greatest of Indian popullsts, Hollow Horn Bear, but who are really In the field for no other purpose than to pro- vide employment for teamsters who just now are out of a job, and to bring about the speedy consumption of vast quantities of horsefeed. This may seem very ridicu- lous to those eastern people who are wita- out intimate knowledge of the western way, but it 1s, nevertheless, true that these ferage wars are quite common in that great region beyond the Missouri. There was one in the Jackson Hole country a lit- tle while ago, and there have been others preceding it, and so far back that the memory of man runneth not to the con- trary. And there will come others. os No North, No South. Some-of the combined blue-and-gray sen- timent is real and some of it is not; some of it is for campaign purposes, while at least a small proportion of it must und un- doubtedly does have its origin in husiness yeasons; but that the great bulk of it {ts herest and sincere will hardly be doubted by those who have given to this important matter the consideratfon it deserves. The genuine article appears to be most prom- trent just now in the city cf Louisville, where thousands of Grand Army veterans have assembled in annual encampment, largely as the guests of those who were on the other side cf the question thirty years ago. The feeling which prompted Ken- tucky’s big community to voluntarily as- sume the position of host ought to be and Goubtless is appreciated not orly by those who are recipients of Kentucky hospitality at this time, but by millions of other Anier- iecans who greet with gladness any move- ment toward the elimination of that divid- ing line to which Mason and Dixon gave their names and wfich has for so long been an almost impassable barrier in the way of commercial progress and the de- velopment of that brotherly affection which how promises to be a feature of American life in the century so soon to open up.

Much the Same. “Politics,” said the self-made man, “‘al- ways reminds me of something I noticed when I set out in life as a sailor.” “What was that?” ‘There's no gcod knowin’ the ropes unless you've got a pull.” Cruelty. “Oh, dear," sobbed Mrs. Hunnimune.” I knew it would come to this, but I cidn’t expect it so soon." “Has your husband been mistreating you?” asked her visitor solemnly. “Y-yes," she sobbed. “‘He says I want my own way all the time. “And won't he let you have it?” “That's the worst of it.
