People who may inhabit urban America fifty years hence will wonder at the toler- ation of the city-dwellers of today, who permit life to be hourly threatened by ov=r- head electric wires. It is probable that the proportion of overhead wires is smaller in Washington than in any other large city en this contjnent, but that there are too many such dangers even here was proven yesterday when a seemingly-innocent wire killed a little boy. That other persons did not suffer a like fate is surprising, for it is stated that the wire had been down for several days. There is in this statement the suggestion of gross carelessness on the part of somebody, whose identity ts yet to be determined. Deaths that result naturally or are consequent upon unavoidable acci- dents are never so distressing as are these exe deaths. The maintenance of current-laden wires in exposed places is against public policy; it should not be tol- erated in any community that has sense enough to remember the first law of na- ture. Congress has, in response to express- ed sentiment, done something to discour- age wires on the public streets, but it must go much further in the near future. The ke tion needed will make no dist tions as to wire varieties; a vagrant cur- rent sometimes makes a telegraph or tele- phone wire as deadly as the big copper con- ductor with which the ordinarily harmless thread is crossed. That the present system will have to continue for awhile must be admitted. To protect the community from uddea death by ¢lectricity during that interval the District Commissioners should see to it that there is careful and thorouga tion of the poles and wires that now mber our str and threaten hu Efe. less inspe ts ot] A Promise by Gov.

It may be that sirable official action in the counties will be quickened and strength- ened by the governor's words, but, if not, it is believed that vigorous acts by the executive of the state in behalf of Mary- land's xood name and material interests will quickly follow. —_—+-____ Before the Convention. The Christian Endeavorers are coming to town. Just how many thousands of them will be here before the close of this week is food for conjecture, but it is cer- tain that the aggregate will be large. The ability of the city to care for the multitude is unquestioned—in the handling of big crowds Washington has had very much ex- perience—so the visitors may rest assured that tte likelihood of anything approaching discomfort is very remote. The incomers will find here a community that wants to be hospitable and knows how. They will note the politeness of the residents of whom they make all manner of inquiry, the well-bred policemen, the courteous ar employes and a host of minor ibutions to a delightful whole. Every loca} influence will harmonize in behalf of @ thorcughly successful convention, and an enjoyable sojourn at the national cap- ital of the sixty or seventy thousand En- deavorers who are said to be on their way to the feast which has been spread for them. —_____ + ¢e —___ The Oleomargarine Cases. By-ard-by the dealers who thought they saw a short-cut to wealth by selling oleo- margarine for butter will come to the con- clusion that henesty is, after all, the best policy. Heavy fines and imprisonment, short or long, are now discovered to be certain consequences of defrauding people who want to buy butter and are deceived Into purchasing a cheap imitation thereof. Those sleomargarine dealers who were so defiant a little while since are now satisfied that the law may rot safely be disdained. Fines of five hundred dollars and the ex- penses of defense are knock-down argu- ments. It Is a reasonable theory that when all the “oleo™ cases now before the courts have been disposed of there will be a slump in that branch of the law-break- ing market. Hereafter the people who want butter and who pay butter prices are likely to get what they ask for. ——+e-- When you see a loose wire dangling from a pole or lying across the sidewalk or in the street, do not take any chances. Keep your hands off. Notify the police and live. — ¢-__ Fashione, Personal Scramble. >xpected has again happened. The silver mon are embar: d most when they had expected to he embarrassed least. The whole campaign for upon the distinct understanding that per. enalities should not enter into it at all. ning was to be for the cause. The “ts for success at the polls were not at that time particularly bright. The main purpose was to wrest party control from the east, 2s complained the gold men were domin everything. and transfer it to the west and south, where it was claimed the most representative democ- recy dwelt. The main point, it was urged, was to make sure cf the platform. The question of the candidate would be eastiy settled A good man could be found in pearly any Girecticn. Then came the change in the situation. Silver swept state after state. The tide rose so fast the whole country was asten- ished. 1t began to look like it might be silver’s year at the polls. The platform Wes assured. The ambitions of men began to stir. Old silver leaders put forward their claims. Mr. Bland was one of the first in the field, and soon showed a compact and an aggressive organization at his beck. Mr. Boies followsd, and Mr. Teller’s bolt at St. Louis bore every aspect of a bid for the Chicago nomination. At any rate the men who walked out of the convention with him at cnce proceeded to launch a boom for Tim, and they have been busy in his behalf ever since. Scme of the silver leaders have been de- Ploring the change in affairs for weeks. Mr. Jones of Arkansas has openly done so. ‘When the Bland boom invaded his state he protested in convention against it; not on the ground of personal opposition to the Missourian, but for the simple reason that by a sort of agreement the time had not come for considering the question of candi- dates. But the Bland boom carried the day. The argument advanced was that the question of a candidate was the only ques- tion left. The platform was as good as settled, and the silverites were growing confident even of success at the polls. The contest now therefore ts one purely of persenalities ,and it is growing warm. Altruism is whistled down the wind. Silver reeds no votes. The platform will be adopted by a majority, and silver has almost two-thirds of the convention. But the different aspirants for the Presidency are all eager for a nomination which seems to ba so desirable, and none has votes enough to make him feel comfortable at the start. And so the campaign which at the outset was ertirely devoid of person- alities ends in an cld-fashioned personal scramble. ————_++-____ The Death of John Frizzell. A man was killed on the Washington and Great Falls Electric Railway yesterday. He was killed because the motorman of the car that wrought the damage wes unable to stop the car within a distance of fifty yards. The track was, says the motorman, SO greasy that the brakes were practically valueless, because the wheels slid. Such a cordition of affairs is by no means extra- ordinary in railroading. Every engineer and motorman has had experience with slippery rails, and to meet such exigencies mechanical ingenuity has provided means by which such occurrences as that which yesterday resulted in the death of John Frizzell may easily and inexpensively be rendered impossible. A steam railroad train of half-a-dozen coaches can be brought to a standstill from forty miles an hour within from three hundred to four hundred yards in time of need. An electric car—the legal maximum speed of which is fixed at fifteen miles an hour—ought to be stopped within ten yards. It may be that the car that killed Frizzell was moving at a rate of speed greatly in excess of that permitted by law; if that was the fact then there ought not to be any difficulty in lo- eating the blame. If, however, the car was proceeding at proper speed, and yet could not be stopped within fifty yards it must be that the car was not equipped with a sand-box and a supply of sand. Neither of the suggested explanations of the dis- aster furnishes a sufficient excuse for its occurre: The cars ought to be properly equipped and ought not to run at an illegal rate ef speed. ——_+++_____ If the occasion arises, Mr. Stevenson will, of course, point out to the democracy the t while a vice-presidential candidate © to the head ef (he ticket during a campaign, there is not necessarily any extraordinary sympathy between them after election. ~~ +2 -\fter seeing what he has not accomplished at Chicago, the President may be moved to remark that Mr. Whitney might as well have followed his example and gone fish- ing. ——_+e- ___ David B. Hill has a record as a manager of conventions, but he was never before confronted with so serious an undertaking as the one at Chicago. —-— + oe While some of the sceptical admit that Mr. Bland is attaining a very good speed, they insist that his position is entirely that of a pace-maker. ee SHOOTING STARS, Un mitting. remarked the merchant, “that Mr. Fucash devotes the must unre- mitiing care to his business.” “He doesn’t pay his bills, though,” re- plied the bookkeeper. “That's what I have reference to. When- ever we ask him to ‘please remit’ he doesn’t pay any attention to it.” Fortunate. Oh, lightning bug, how fair your fate, What peaceful hours you pass; You lavishly illuminate, And get no bills for gas. In Doubt. “Do my vocal lessons disturb you?” asked the young woman with musical ambitions. “Not that I know of,” replied the truth- ful young man. “Why, I should think you'd know if they dtd.” “No. Since the dentist took the front room on the first floor for an office I can't tell whether you're practicing music or he’s practicing his profession.” Interested at Last. “Yes, sirree,”” exclaimed the man who is subject to long-range enthusiasm, “I'd do it every time. I'd stick to principles and let party go to smash if the occasion came up.” “Would you?” said his wife, languidly. “That's what I would. Am I, a free-born American citizen, to give my unguestioning allegiance to a mere name—a word—an in- tangible collection of vowels and con- sonants? Better bow down to some dynasty than follow a hollow mockery.” “I suppose it is better,” she assented, dubiously. “Rather than do it, I'd bolt.” Her face brightened, and he remarked: “Humph! I'm glad to see you interested at last.” “Yes, John, dear, that reminded me of something.” “What is it?” “Did you bolt the basement door when you came into the house, as I told you to?” A Misguided Gamester. ‘I's done played it an’ played it sence it kep’ a-comin’ out in de newspapers,” marked Sam Juniper, out.’ re- “an it dean’ come hut is {t—er new policy gig?” reckoned da’s whut it mus’ be.
