This is a mere play upon words. It may be technically true that the commu- nity should defray the expense of the pro- tection of the public at such crossings, yet the fact remains that the pedestrians are not the main beneficiaries of such protec- tion, but the passengers on the cars and the comp-nies themselves, which are ex- tremely lable to loss by collisions and derangements of plant. A single disaster at one of these intersections would cost more than the whole system of protection throughout the city during many months, and hence it is surely a bad policy for the corporation to seek to evade the slight cost of this common-sense means of protecting itself primarily and the public incidentally. It may be advisable to change the wording of the regulation so as to base the require- ment as to watchmen on the necessity of preventing collisions. There are many junctions and crossings in the city that are y in need of such protection, notably “er of New York avenue and 14th t, and that a short block north, at H street. To leave thes» intersections un- guarded, especially when the Metropolitan road is running on a rapid transit sched- ule, would stnack of criminal negligence and the ponsibility for a collision or other disaster there would be heavy in- deed. As long in the pending ease, one of the mainly intere: is willing to adopt Commi plan and pay half the cost of the guarding, the other company should not be permitted to evade the sii ense on so trivial an excuse as is now pleade¢ —____ + + + ____ The Execution of Ford. A new local record was established today by the execution of Irving Ford at the Dis- triet jail for a murder committed May 4th of the nt year, less than eight weeks ago. tragic story of that crime and its immediate consequences is freshly familiar to all the people of Washington. It was an atrocious deed and the punishment meted eut today by the law was thoroughly de- served. It is whelesome that there should have been so little delay in the capture, trial, conviction and execution of the guilty man. The cause of law and order has been strengthened by the promptness with which every step has been taken, and Ford's death on the scaffold should be a warning to his hird, the men of brutal instincts. Unquestionably the miserable wretch was transformed into an unthinking brute by liquor. and his confession made this morning for The Star which is printed else- where shows that he realized the fact, and Freaches an effective temperance sermon. It is unfort te that the scene at the jail should have drawn so large an assemblage of the morbidly curious’ and that the war- Gen was urable by reason of his: imagined Guty to his superior officers to withstand the pressure for tickets. At the same time the execution was orderly and happily there were ro scenes at the s ‘old tend- ing to heroize the murderer. —___+ = —___ Inspect the Wire: Several deaths having recently been brought about by electric-light wires from portions of which the insulating material Was worn away,.it may not be regarded as an unreasonable query to ask whether there is systematic and thorough inspection of such wires in this city and who does the cting. Washington has not yet suf- fered from such electrical catastrophes as are now quite common in other large cities 4 local condition due mainly to the fact onsiderable proportion of our wires \ierground—but freedom from those ties of sudden dissolution may be due to good fortune rather than to the vigilance that ought to be exercised continually. Only three or four days since two men were killed up in Pennsylvania by a vag- t current which had escaped through fauity insulation and charged a wire screen with a deadly voltage. Such an occurrence is likely to take place anywhere. Tele- graph or telephone wires or awning-frames Tay easily be, and frequently are, the seemingly-innocent instruments of destruc- tion. There ought to be careful and fre- quent inspection of all wires carrying cur- rents capable of injuring or killing either man or beast. —> 6-2 —_____ It is altogether probable that General Weyler will not have to wait until General Lee becomes a proficient conversationalist in Spanish to find out this country’s in- tentions with reference to Cuba. > oe ______ The President returns from his fishing trip just as Mr. Teller and several others © completed their preparations for a few days’ angling at Chicago. - ———- ++ ____ Willing Whitney and Reluctant Gor- man, Why is it that Mr. Gorman, who is in full @greement with Mr. Whitney on the finan- cial question, refuses to accompany him to Chicago to help along the opposition to silver? Is it because he knows the silver leaders better than Mr. Whitney does, and kees the futility of a fight there? Mr. Whitney has had no experience with the men who will appear the most prom- tently as the champions of silver at Chi- cago. He has never met them in the heat of a real conflict. But Mr. Gorman knows them intimately, and las met them often. They have been his neighbors in the Senate for years. He has frequently seen their mettle tried, and has himself tried !t more than once. He has seen them stand up to the last when they were in a hopeless minority. He witnessed the struggle over tke purchasing clause of the Sherman act, when the silver men fought for months against repeal. Does this knowledge and experience convey to him en idea of how resolute these mer will be at. at, Chicago, with an instructed majority at their back? Mr. Gorman is rated as a very shrewd man. He has more at stake at this time than has Mr. Whitney. Mr. Whitney at home’ is merely his party’s counselor and friend. He can go to Chicago and lose his fight, ard come home, without injury to himself. Mr. Gorman at home is his party’s recog- n:ze@ and responsible leader. Were he to go to Chicago and show impotency he would be injured, and his party through him. That makes a difference. Then, there are democrats—and Mr. Gor- man may be one of them—who, while op- posed to free coinage, are yet of opinion that, all things considered, it is probably just as well to have the matter settled this year. The issue has been uppermost in the party for a long time. The south is com- mitted to it, and will never be satisfied until it has been passed upon at the polls. These rien do not think the issue can win at the polls, and once it has been roundly defeated there, as they believe it will be if submit- ted, that will end it. But suppose free silver should win at the polls. Would Mr. Gorman fear that free silver legislation would follow? Is there enything in the fate of the free trade prop- aganda to give him hope? He has always favored protection. He disapproved of Mr. Cleveland's tariff message of 1887, and the very next year appeared at the St. Louis convention with a protection plank in his Pocket for the national platform. The committee on resolutions rejected it, and wrote one in accord with the message, In 1892 the party adopted a free trade plat- form—pronounced distinctly against pro- tection. ‘This was in direct opposition to Mr. Gorman’s views; but he did not bolt. On the contrary, he took the stump for the ticket and helped elect it. But with what result? When Congress took up the ques- tion of taxation, Mr. Gorman helped to put the party’s anti-protection platform entirely aside, and to write a tariff bill with Protection its very essence and meaning. And that finished free trade as a demo- cratic shibboleth. Could free silver as a democratic cry be similarly disposed of? The election of a free silver man to the presidency would not alone give silver victory. Congress would have to act, and the struggle would take place in that body. Could the sound money mer under Mr. Gorman’s leadership effect as much as the protection democrats did under his guiding hand? Mr. Gorman in such circumstances would be at the com- mand of the sound money men of both parties. ——_++e____ An Unsolved Mystery. The verdict of the jury in Judge Brad- ley’s court last evenitg practically declar- ing the alleged Holt will to be a forgery cleses the first stage of one of the most re- markable cases ever tried in this part of the country. It is announced that an ap- peal will be taken first to the Court of Ap- peals and, failing 2 reversal there, thence to the Supreme Court of the United States. The belief of the’ jury ts now on record, but the community is still in the dark as to the facts in the case in which it fs par- ticularly interested. Neither the testimony tor the decision cf the jury clears up the mystery that has surrounded the affair frem the beginning. Who sent sent the al- leged will to the register? Who forged it, if it was forged? Who destroyed the proofs of revocation, if it was genuine and re- veked? Unless there are unexpected de- velopments the nature and the means of the preduction of the charred paper that Was yesterday pronounced a forgery by twelve citizens will become one of the un- selved problems uf American jurisprudence. Few cases have ever been tried in the Dis- trict with such clese attention to details and with such an amount of legal skill, and it is certain that no civil suit was ever argued that attracted more earnest atten- tion from the community. —__ + « e —___ Mr. Peffer’s dissatisfaction with what was said by free silver people at St. Louis con- firms an impression that there is absolutely no use in trying to run this country to suit him. —————++e—___— Mr. Gorman has done a great deal of fight- ing for the democratic party, which brought him disappointment.
