Subscribers changing thelr address from one Post-office to another should give the last address as well as the new one. the Law. The electrical companies cannot fairly find fault with the anti-extension opinion rendered by the attorney for the District and accepted by the Commi: As @ matter of fact the authori too Uberally with the electrical corpora- tions in construing the law to permit the renewal of poles and wires which, through natruing length of fee, have become dangerous or useless. Mr. Thomas admits that “there can be no doubt that the policy of Congress is to ultimately abolish overhead wires,” yet he declares that the con- gressional pronibition of additional wires does not deprive the companies of their right to renew their existing poles and wires ag they wear out or are destroyed. If this policy prevails, when will the ad- mitted prohibition really prohibit? This question has evidently occurred to the at- torney, for he calls the attention of the Commissioners to the fact that the per- mission to renew wires “is a very liberal construction of the law of 1888." Mr. ‘Thomas might safely have gone further and have informed the Commissioners that such breadth &f construction is illogical and advetse to the public interest. No one who is informed as to the debate which preceded the passage of the wire-prohibit- Ing faw will contend that Congress cen- templated unreasonable delay in making the statute effective, and the delay ts surely unreasonable when the electrical companies are permitted to Keep on re- newing their outdoor equipment just as they used to do before any anti-overhead- wire law was ever heard of. ‘The ap- parent p se of the law was instant pro- hibition as to extensions and gradual ex- un m of the system then 3 and wires, as they om wear and tear, being succeeded by vires within juits. The attorney's state- early that the law has been 1 only in part. We should, perhaps,be Sratefud for this semi-enforcement, and for the commor opinion which advises against the indefinite exténsion of the overhead system through “relocation” of existing wires, but the people of Washing- ton will never be satisfied until the law is construed on beth points in the public in- terest and enforced. The electrical com- panies make a mistake in calling attention to the strained construction in their favor of the anti-overhead-wires law, and in de- mandimg a “further stretching of the law, even to the breaking point, in their behalt. — ee Commissioner Ross as an Educator. In formally welcoming the delegates to the Christian Endeavor convention, Presi- dent John W. Ross of the Board of Com- missioners took commendable advantage of ais opportunity to make plain the rela- tions of the rers to the National Capital and of the Natlonal Capital to the ing operated; became useless general government. It was good work well done. It was seed planted in fertile soil, and likely to produce beneficial and lasting results. The demagogue who de- pends upon the unfortunate insufficiency of public information as to the true status of Washington and Washingtonians may to his sorrow, discover that in his audience are several people who will not be deceived and who will be averse to the deception of others; whose interest in the center of our government commenced to be when Com- missioner ROss distributed wholesome facts to the Christian Endeavor convention of "06. It is much to be ed that the visit- ing Endeavorers who are citizens of the United States shail look closely into the material conditions at the National Capital; it is their capital; they have undis- puted proprietary rights that should not be permitted to become rusty through lack of use; their active concern would be noth- ing more than the principles of good citizen- ship practically applied. Voteless Washing- ton looks to the Endeavorers—and is not net Ikely to look in vain—for sympathetic interest that means something; that will be more than mere larguage; that will discour- age the cheap ward-politician who for Wholly seitish purposes wants to cut some- thing of a figure in national politics. If the Voters wonld only send their best men to ngress this country would move ahead with marvelous rapidity, and in a remark- ably brief time we would be what we ought to be—the workl’s greatest power In every essential respect. Some day in the future— when Endeavor precepts and practices are subscribed to by the majority—the republic will achieve the position toward which there is now so much of earnest striving, and when that time comes Washington will be as nearly as possible the ideal city. Let every Endeavorer to do his part, to thé end that our ration may become the world’s exemplar. see The collapse of a tent was indeed a mis- fortune, but after the St. Louis wind- storm it cannot fall to strike the philo- scphical Endeavorers as a matter too trifling to be allowed to interfere in any Way with the enjoyment of the occasion. os There is a strong undercurrent of senti- ment in Chicago to the effect that a man who ts able to run a farm or a newspaper cught to stand a very good chance of be- ing able to run the United States govern- ment. ——_——_+ «+ The announcement that Senator Tillman Proposes to talk cannot at any time be re- garded as news. ——+._ The Administration's Attitude. By the refusal of the platform committce to test®y to “the honesty, courage, and fidelity” of the administration the repudia- tion of Mr. Cleveland by his party at Chi- cago sta omplete. The committee's ac- tion, eDnsidered in connection with the at- tending umstances, ig the most unique chaptec tn the history of American politics. ‘The man who offered the resolution is the same man whe four years ago warned his party agatust Mr. Cleveland, predicting dis- volntment and disaster in case he was taken. He now eame forward to break the fall of the discredited leader. It was to perform, and fuller of politics than of generosity. The men who rejected the resolution are some of them tLe same men who took Mr. Cleveland for leader in spite of all adverse prediction, and who insisted on installing him in the White House for a second term. By their action now they confess to a present belief in unwisdom on their part then, and for the second time they reject the advice of a man whom they are crowning by that actas a Prophet. Would it not have been wiser for the committee to have heeded Mr. Hill on this point yesterday? The administration must count for some- thing in this fight. It is not of course to be expected that it will be converted into a political machine to be used in drumming up voters for the polls, but it stands for the public credit and its influence will be felt. It has not only been repudiated but defied. Tt has been as good as told to take itself into the republican camp with all of its friends, and give its support and theirs to the republican ticket. Will this step, in effect, be taken? There is much talk at Chicago now among the gold men about party fealty, and all that sort of thing. The politicians are looking out for their records. Men with presidential aspirations are thinking of 1900, and later. But when the campaign gets fairly under way the issue must rise above all personal and mere party consid- erations. The convention has taken the initiative in disregarding party lines. It caters to the disaffected republicans in this glank, and to the populists in that plank, and proposes a coalition with little that is demvcratic about it but the name.‘ Will not this in itself release the gold men in the democratic party, and justify them in Voting, not as democrats, for the republican ticket, but as eltizers solicitous for main- taining a sound financial policy and with no other means of doing so? So far as Mr. Cleveland and the members of his cabinet are concerned the matter of personal pride will be added to their sense of public duty. The success at the polls of the Chicago platform is something that would affect them individually as well as thelr party and the country. The dem- onstration is distinctly anti-administration. The country is asked to join with the coali- tion in repudiating them. They cannot be expected to be passive or listiess under this. Why should they be? What more natural then that they should desire the success of the other side? So far as the money ques- tion is concerned, the St. Louis platform, barring the status of the greenbacks, is in perfect accord with the record and the contention of the administration. With party lines obliterated by the Chicago con- vention, may not the President and his ad- viscrs give not only their sympathy but their assistance to the platform of their personal choice? + « & —___.

SHOOTING STARS, Au Era of Sore Throats. “It is mighty inspiring to think of all the oratory which a period of national excite- ment like the present produces,” said the maa who was waiting for his train. “That's right. Every time I think of it I'm tickied nearly to death.” “Are you interested in politics?” ‘No. 1 sell cough drops.” A Delay. What is the baby’s name? We haven't one selected, We're waiting till November comes, To see which man’s elected. A Criticism. “I don’t see,” said the man who was trudging wearily beside a wheel with flabby tires, “why people persist in indulging in misnomers.”” “What's the matter now?” inquired the friend whom he had met. “This trip that I started on this morning. They call it a bicycle run. It hasn't been one, any of the time. The first haif of the journey was a bicycle ride, and the other half has been a bicycle walk.” Indeed The Next Best Thing. The young woman was losing no time in setting her sight-seeing tour started. Approaching a man who stood in the dorway of a storeson Pennsylvania avenue, watching the crowd pass, she sald: “Will you tell me where I can see the Serate?” “It isn’t in session.” “Then I guess I'll go see the House of Representatives.” “That isn’t in session, either. “Is Senator Peffer here?” ‘or ‘I don’t see what they let them go away for, when so many visitors, are coming. Well, anyway, can you tell ‘me what car to take to get to the Zoo?” nator Tillman?” A Distraction. ‘Tis strange we could not order out a lear, sunshiny spell Right here where the offictals who make the weather dwell; A measure of apology assuredly is due, For the rain’s uncivil manner, and the way the breezes blew. It’s hard wher politics grows hot, to keep men at their work; They feel the fascination President to clerk; And the business at Chicago 1s so press- ing, so they say, That e’en the weather people have their minds all turned that way. —___++2—____ Worse Than the Chicago Fire. From the Philadelphia Press. The Chicago fire twenty-five years ago clear from swept the city, destroyed tens mil- lions of dollare and left its inhabitants homeless, but Industry, enterprise, hon- esty and thrift were left untouched and the city rose again from its ashes and grew ricter and more prosperous than ever. The fire which the democratic freessilver corvention {s setting in Chicago js worse. If the platform of the convention were to prevail at the polls the whole country would be swept with something worse than fire. Values will be destroyed, half of every debt will be repudiated and half of every savings bank deposit, building, association share and life insurance pol- icy will be swept away. Ruin, disaster and bankruptcy will cover the land. What is worse, saving, thrift, industry and enterprise will be destroyed. Why should men toil or save or work when half the value of all they have is swept away in a day by free silver coinage? The Chicago convention, if it were to suc- ceed in its plundering platform, would e a million-fold worse than the Chicago fire. gberen te pphepanentsegnae s+ other 8 o'clock ‘days—during ani uly “Welcome” hangs over our door weeping Reductions —in Wash Suits —in Cleth Suits —in Separate Skirts —in Silk Waists —in shirt Waists PERRY’S.
