If it be true that the Capital Traction Company has determined to make a fight against the Pennsylvania railroad for the latter's illegal occupancy of Virginia ave- nue in parking cars cn the tracks on that thoroughfare, some interesting develop- ments may be expected. Two such great corporations do not often Icck horns, but when they do the results may be beneficial to the public. No one has ever doubted that the use of Virginia avenue as a car yard is a menace to life, especially as the avenue is crossed by two great trunk lines of street railroads, at Seventh and at Four- and-one-half streets. Accidents have hap- pened from time to time that prove this fact beyond any question, and it is fortu- nate that the street railroad company has at last awakened to a realization of tha situation’ Ordinary citizens long ago came to the conclusion that they must fight for every Inch of ground gained from the rail- yoad company. Nothing has ever been granted voluntarily, and President Dunlop is now entering upon a big campaign if he proposes to carry to the limit his objection against the unlawful occupation of one of the iinest thoroughfares in South Wash- ington by steam cars. In this effort he can depend upon the support of every pat- ron of his road, and he will doubtless soon be Joined by the officials of the Metropoli- tan line, whose interests are as greatly en- dangered as these of the newly-formed Capital Traction Company. If these two ccrporations should join hands and fight the case not only in the courts, but before Congress, then indeed would there be some prospects of a solution of the grade-cross- ing question that has so long vexed the community. Se The Case of Capt. Armes. Judge Bradley's denunciation of Gen. Schofield’s methods in dealing with Capt. Armes in the case of the latter’s effort to read the retiring commander of the army a lecture on his individual grievances fs a most interesting addition to the literature of the relations between the civil and mili- tary branches of the federal government. It certainly places a check upon the powers of the military authorities over officers on the retired list and may lead eventually to new legislation in this line that will enable those in command more effectually to pre- serve discipline among members of the service who have been favored by ren- sions. The power of court-martlalling a retired officer of course yet remains, but the immediate effect of Judge Bradley's de- cision, it would seem, is to make it inad- visable, at least, for a military commander to seek to imprison for the purposes of future trial a member of the corps of re- tired officers. Whatever the merits of the Armes case may be, there is undoubtedly a general feeling that it is unfortunate that this affair should have occurred on the eve of Gen. Schofield's retirement from the service which he had honored so long. This decision places the retired lieutenant gen- eral in a most embarrassing position, which probably he did not contemplate when, as acting secretary of war, he was confronted with.the apparent necessity of maintaining the dignity of army headquarters. —_+ += —__—_. === The death of Secretary Pugh of the Washirgton Young Men’s Christian Asso- ciaticn is a loss to the community and asso- ciation alike. The organization loses a devoted servant, an intelligent officer, an enthusiastic orgenizer and developer. The city loses one of the strongest elements for gcod ever known here, one of the most sincere practical Christians who ever worked for the betterment of the morals of the national capital. ‘The fact that the law prohibiting minors from pool rooms has not been sustained offers a worthy opportunity for action by the coming Congress. As a good many of the members of that body will have boys of their own, it is not Improbable that a motive for prompt action may be found. EE It is generous and proper for this coun- try to encourage Japan in her strides for- werd in her rank among nations, but it would not be judicious to go so far as to let her get the best of this country with refer- ence to Hawaii. —__so— It is hoped that Prince Bismarck is not going to become permanently addicted to the health-rumor habit. nr fighty-nine men only were employed to- Gay on the city pest-office building. —__ rem — Another Phase of Sack Cane. It may be that the State Department can take no official notice of the attack by Lord Sackvilie on our ambassador in England end on the American people as a class. ‘The ccurse of the department is alway: dictated by diplomatic usage and, techni- cally, the act of Lord Sackville may be that of merely a British subject, for which the British government cannot be held to ability. That Lord Sackville has = a grievance was known, and expected that in his private he would dwell upon his im- ut when, with the delib- tion of print, he circulated among the iplomatic corps at the court of St. James & pamphlet of the character which has just leen given pubtication, a purpose to dis- credit eur representative is clearly dis- closed and grave offense is given to this goverrment. If Lord Sackville ts an irre- sponsible person, if his action while min- ister at Washington destroyed his useful- ness in the British diplomatic service, and if his retirement on a pension placed him in disgrace, a friendly sentiment toward the United States should dictate to Lord Salis- bury the propriety of promptly disavowing any sympathy with his calumnious utte: ances. ‘The failure to make such a dis- avowal must leave the impression on the American mind that Lord Sackville has expressed something more than his own sentiments. The tone of the editorial com- ments in London seems to warrant this impression. “London Truth” says: “Whether it was courteous or judicious fer Lord Sackville to publish this attack when Mr. Bayard is ambassador in London is a debated question to which it may, however, reasonably be replied that Mr. Zayard was immeasurably more discour- teous and injudicious in his behavior toward Sackville-West when the latter was at shington. Mr. Bayard, therefore, would '@ mean to complain of this point. But matter acquires exceptional interest n it is considered side by side with a pute regarding the race for the a's cup. It should be remembered t Sackville-West was the victim of an stion trick. ‘An indisereet expresston of opinion upon his part was exaggerated for the purpose of exciting anti-English agitation. The trick was successful, and Sackville-West was handed his papers. England, in the person of her envoy, was grossly and wan- tonly insulted. Mr. Cleveland, however, tailed to secure the election.” If this is a truthful expression of British @eutiment toward the American people, the matter is worthy of more serious consider- ation than a slander by a disgraced and retired diplomat would otherwise receive. The comments of the British press on the yacht race flasco were for the most part Mean and offensive and based on an un- truth. If the British public are considering the Sackville pamphlet, as “Truth” sug- Bests “side by side with the recent dispute regarding the race for the America’s cup,” then the American public may be excused for considering the comment of the British press on that event “side by side’ with the ccmment on the present episode. Consid- ered in this connection, it discloses a spirit of most offensive unfriendliness. The rea- scn for this may be found without scratch- irg very deep under the surface. The attack of Lord Sackville is on Mr. Blaine as well as on Mr. Bayard; on the republican party as well as on the democratic, and on the American peopte as well as on thelr public servants. In associating Mr. Bayard with Mr. Blaine as an upholder of American dignity he may bring our ambassador closer to the affections of the American people. Mr. Bayard has for some time been regard- ed as altogeti-cr too feeble in his American- ism. The patriotic sentiment of this country bas always approved of Mr. Blaine in this respect. If political expediency moved Mr. Bayard to dismiss Lord Sackville after the writing of the Murchisen letter, if the con- sideration of public sentiment overcame his natural amiability toward those holding America in contempt, it was entirely credit- able to him, even though, as Lord Sack- ville’s statements tmply, his first impulse was timid. It is a healthy public sentiment which impels a man to courage. ‘Phe writing of the Murchisof{ letter by Lord Sackville was an offerse demanding his dism| 1 regardless of its possible effect on the political prospects of Mr. Cleveland and his party. But the question worthy of most serious consideration is, how far the British foreign office may be served by having the American representative dis. credited amcng the diplomatic corps at London. Is it possible that Mr. Bayard has, after all, been more vigorous in deal- ing with the question of British encroach- ments on this continent than the public has supposed? Has Secretary Olney realiy adopted a vigorous foreign policy, and is Mr. Bayard truly representing that policy? It Is to be hoped so. The weak point in the present. administration has been its ;man; egement of foreign affairs, and nothing would help so much to reinstate it favor- ably in public opinion as the display of a little robust Americanism by our State Department in matters where the interests of the American people are concerned. 2 = __ The Typhoid Fever. There is no additional cause for alarm regarding the typhoid fever, but it is satis- factory to note that the authorities are keeping up a vigilant search for the causes of the disease and the remedies necessary. The Health Officer has taken steps towards securing a complete census of the cases of the fever now under treatment, and the of- ficials of the Marine Hospital Service are conducting a bacteriological examination of the Potomac vtater with a view to ascertain- ing whether there is in the supply any of the infection that is causing the unwonted in- crease in the pravalence of the disease. It is a pity that there is no laboratory con- rected with the Health Office for such a purpose, but the other institution is well equipped and Surgeoa General Wyman is giving evidence of a disposition to aid Dr. Woodward in every way possible. The first step being to ascertain the source of infec- tion, no real progress can be expected in the eradication of the disease until it is found. Meanwhile every resident must pre- serve an equable disposition and not give way to fear, and at the same time exercise diligent care In the use of food and drink. —— The Cheapness of the Trolley. An accident that happened on the line of the Tenleytown trolley road last evening illustrates again the dangers from this system of street railway propulsion. A retten cross-bar dropping from one of the trolley poles caused the wires to fall on the ground, endangering the lives of both men and beasts using the road. The entire line was also rendered inoperative for sev- eral hours. Such an accident would not have happened with a modern construc- tion. Nor would it have occurred had the equipment of the road been first-class, involving the use of metal cross beams instead of wood. One of the chief aiff- culties standing between trolley construc- tion and safety is this very element of cheapness. No materials are dear that warrant public safety, nor is any material wood, whatever its price, that involves danger to any individual. It will be in- cumbent upon the next Congress to legis- late out of the city limits the town end of the Tenleytown overhead line and to re- quire the company to replace its dangerous wooden cross beams, that are now proved to be sources of great danger, with more substantis] ones of metal. —____++«_____ The authorities should either provide a decent place for the detention of convicted prisoners, or give some guarantee against frightful mistakes of some of the policemen whom charity can say no more than that they mean well. ——___~+ e+ ____ The march of progress goes bravely on. ‘The Potomac flats are to be entirely reclaim- ed and Jackson City will come next. —— There is no doubt that the “golden eagle” and the American eagle shake talons very affably at the national capital. —_—_—— e+ ____ SHOOTING STARS, She Wouldn't Stand It, “How dar you accuse me of being a kleptomaniac,” she said, indignantly. “Why,” replied the young man, who was on his knees, “I didn’t.’” “Isn't a kleptomaniac a person who pur- loins things for which he has no possible use?” “Yes.” “Did you not just say that I had stolen your heart?
