So we have the rumor again that Queen Victeria will shortly retire, and give the Prince of Wales a chance. The rumor always commands more or for the reason that it is al- nm the Queen's age and her ical infirmities. Moreover, = troubles have added to her bur- dens of late, and hence there is a certain eness about the suggestion that she is tired of power and responsibility and meditates closing her days in peace and quiet. Would the step, if taken, tend to strengthen or weaken Great Britain in her place among the nations? It is a com- Manding place, and has been made so largely during the present reign. Great Britain, although pressed a little hard on this hand and that, was never a greater facter in affairs than she is to-day. Her sea armament fs even greater now than ever before. She kas no man afloat of the fame of Nelson, but her ships are numer- ous and of the highest standard, and she has in abundance men of training and ca- pacity to fight them. ‘his of course is not work of tke Queen's individual conception, or done under her individual direction, but during the doing of it all she has been recognized both at home and abroad as a positive force of wisdom. She has always manifested a great quantity of saving good sense about the most important problems of her own government, and her influence has been distinctly sought and recognized at critical periods by other leading nations of the world. She is sure of a place among the great women of all history. The Prince of Wales has reputation prin- cipally as a man of pleasure. He is a pa- tron of the turf, a first-nighter at the thea- a lover of cards, and an amateur htsman. The world, so far, has not m seriously, nor has he taken the world seriously. But it is said of him by tion, te those who know him well and are able to Judge that he ity a man of excellent capac- affairs, and only needs the demonstrate his powers. y and diplomatic—almo: for to deme n nd he is persenally very po ular a nd on the continent. Emi- nent « who have met him have conceived a high opinion of his ability. If this man were to ascend the throne, interest in Great ened the wor Britain would be quick- over. He would hardly go fn for anythi spectacular—would hardly become a rival of his nephew at Berlin in grand stand plays. But he would probably want to impress himself on his people and his times, and to that end might reason- ably be expected to enter upon some new departures. He is a young man for gov- ernment, and would be surrounded by young men. Mr. Balfour and Mr. Cham- berlain—the one about forty, the other in the igorous fifties—are specimens of the public servants who would be very close to the throne with suggestions of new poli- cles. And if the new king were to exhibit large capacity for business, the transfor- mation of a man of pleasure into a man of successful action would not be new in the world. But the Queen has not abdicated, and It is a safe prediction that as long as she “sticks to her knitting’ the English people will continue to be covered with garments of warm and comfortable conservatism. a Olney and Arbitration. Public sentiment is not always a safe guide. It represents, of course, the popular idea and temperature at the time of ex- pression, but then the time itself ts often unpropitious. Moved by information which fs sometimes unreliable the people say things in a hurry that would never have been said after a few hours devoted to re- flection. When the Olney-Salisbury arbi- tration was published there were many ut- terances on both sides of the Atlantic that do not now appear to be justified. Then there was what seemed te _be a strong British disposition to support Locd Salis- bery In his contention that arbitration meiheds would be well enough when ap- flied to minor matters, but could not be permitted to interfere with governmental complications of such magnitude as would take rank as probable causes of physical strife. Today the tide is running strongly toward International arbitration as the only means by w sensible powers can adjust thetr disputes, and Lord Salisbury is meving with the tide. This is evidence of the superior quality—in this instance at least—of American statesmanship. Se->- retary Olney has contended, steadily, logi- cally and powerfully, for a comprehensive system of arbitratio1: in which loopholes for the escape of the unreasonably pug- nactous will be conspicuous by their ab- serce, and this Is the system which the de- Hberate judgment of Great Britain's mind fs rew prepared to sustain. International arbitration would be a long stride toward a higher plane of civilization than this World has yet known. It will be to the everlasting credit of this nation if it prac- tically inaugurates this millennial move- ment. Should such a happy conclusion be echieved, a large share of the praises to be scattered arourd would belong to Sec- retary Olney. SO Oo — It would be a great accommodation to Bryan if Watson and Sewall would wet together ard have it out without insisting on his taking sides. —_~+«+____ ning Up for the Battle. Complicated as the situation appears to be at present—with splits, and rumors of splits, the order of the day—there is foundation for the prediction that as election time draws near tangles on both sides will straighten themselves out and the country witness a clear-cut combat between the forces of sound and unsound money. This prediction is based on the great im- portance of the issue presented, and on the feeling already aroused and likely to be in- creased among the people. Money ts at the very roct of things. Everybody ts con- cerned, and everybody will want bis vote to firing into the air, or in not firing at all. At present the politicians are considering matters from the standpoint of “regulari- ty." This ts natural. They operate through crgarizations, and if ts to their greatest in- terests that such machinery be kept in the best of order. But there come times when necessities sweep away or radically change all party organizations, and when leaders and followers alike are obliged ta adjust themselves to new conditions. A time like that Is now come. It is here almost unan- pounced, and hence many politicians are, for the moment, unprepared to deal with it. Their first thought is of their organiza- tiors—how they may be kept “regular,” and so forth. As the campaign proceeds this anxiety about the “regularity” of things may be ex- Fected to cease. It wil give place to anxie- ty about greater things. Discussion will be pointed and intense. Silver men will be charging, as they now are, that the purpose of the sound money men is to rivet still tghter the financial chains of the people. ‘The sound money men on their part will be charging, as they now are, that the success of the silver cause will mean the debase- ment of the currency, impairment of the rational credit, and the ruin of all business. The old party cries will be heard little if at all. New cries will largely take their places, and with the old cries will disappear the old ties. Men will feel obliged to get together, though never together before, in support of what they contend and concede is of svch paramount moment. The country first, will be the principal cry on both sides; the party aiterwards. Imagine on the one hand Senator Sher- man addressing a sound money audience made up of democrats and republicans alike, and delivering nimself in a way to provoke the applause of both alike. This is ecsily imagined, for Mr. Sherman is to take the stump, and is likely to address men to their perfect satisfaction who have never in a pBtitical campaign folowed him before. Will not this assist In the obliteration for the time being of party lines? Will it be difficult for men so heartily applauding Mr. Sherman's sentiments to vote for the can- didate who if electeé President will help write those sentiments into laws? Imagine on the other hand Senator Morgan address- ing an andience of silver republicans and receiving unstinted applause from them. Will not that help on that side to ease the way for new alignments? It seems likely enough that, after the sea- son for caucussing and grand stand plays has passed, and the season for united effort has arrived, things on both sides will take on a different aspect from that they now wear. In union is strength, in division is weskness. Politicians apply that wisdom wherever they can in their smallest cam- paigns. Why not in this the greatest of all campaigns? 0 Where Are the Autocarst Americans are always unwilling to he- lieve that they are, either as a nation or as individuals, anywhere else than at the head of ctivilization’s procession. It is quite the custom te refer to the old world as slow and behind the times and conservative. Yet in matters that would seem to appeal most strongly to Americans we are con- siderably in the rear. A report made to the State Department by Commercial Agent Moore of Weimar gives a great deal of ex- tremely interesting information as to the use of horseless carriages in Europe. In France and Germany the autocar has ceased to attract attention; in France the horses no longer shy at it. In England the carriage has a firm grip upon popular affec- tion and has reached that stage of me- chanical excellence where It has begun a and winning competition with the se. In the United States—where inven- tive ingenuity is supposed to be far in ad- vance of the brainy skill of Europe—a horseless carriage Is something to be stared There ought hington at this thoroughfares The smooth time. seems to have been constructed especially for such vehicles. broad, — ¢- ___ Gone to His Reward. Wastingtonians will be shocked to learn of the death of Dr. Joseph M. Toner, who for Many years has been among the best-known of Washington citizens; prominent among those who have contributed liberally to the community welfare. Possessed of great scientific and literary gifts he added to these the virtues of industry and genial good-fellowship in a remarkable degree. Respected for his learning he was beloved for his charming personality. His ever- sympathetic manner was but the indication of the tender sympathy which dwelt within and which needed only the intimation of an opportunity to become instantly and prac- tically active. Of his literary research and ability there is much testimony in tan- gible form and the countless good deeds he did in secret are graven on many hearts that will sincerely and profoundly mourn his departure from the sceres of his long, useful and happy life. The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com- pany will please excuse the people of Wash- irgton while the aforementioned people indulge in the gratification which results from the action of the Secretary of the Interior in ordering the B. & O. to vacate a goverument reservation which the corpora- tion has, for many years, treated as if it were a piece of railroad property. Persons who are not acquainted with steam-railroad Listory In the District of Columbia may find it difficult to understand why local residents find so much of refreshment in the order to vacate, but Washingtonians generally understand and appreciate the situation. The precedent is a valuable one. ———___+ «+ — Senator Tillman is reported to have given out an interview in which he expresses himself as not favoring the bloomer cos- tume.

THE WEEK. ‘The week has been marked by great loss of life; fifteen miners were drowned, several other lives were lost, thirty-six personas were injured, many of them by lightning, in a storm that swept over Pittsburg and vicinity; thé storm aleo did great damage in other parts of the country. An express ‘train on the Reading line to Atlantic City coltided on a crossing with a West Jersey railway train; forty-seven persons were killed and forty-three injured.

Postmaster General Wilson has issued an order directing rail- way mail clerks not to take any part in the political campaign. Ex-City Attorney W. C. Moreland of Pittsburg was convicted of embezzlement and sentenced to three years’ imprisonment and to pay a fine of $26,900. The Civic Federation of Chicago claims to have wholesale evidence of police corrup- tion in that city. The deaths of the week included Judge George M. Carpenter of the United States district court for Rhode Is- land; Gen. RK. EK. Colston, a confederate veteran; Robert Garrett, ex-president of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, and William Henry Smith, at one time manager of the Associated Press, Foreign. The old rumor that Queen Victoria in- tends to retire in favor of the Prince of Wales was revived in British court circles. it is said that the queen has decided to spend her time in future at Balmoral or at Osborne. The Turkish government made fermal compiaint to’ the government of Greece against the shipment of arms and ammunition to the Island of Crete; the powers will support the Turkish govern- ment’s demands. A dispatch from Rome stated that Father Martinelli, prior general of the Order of Augustinians, had been ap- pointed successor to Monsignor Satolli, as papal delegate to the Catholic Church in the United States. The British house of lerds passed to its second reading the Irish land bill. Dr, Jameson was found guilty of violating the neutrality laws and sentenced to fifteen months’ imprisonment. The Rus- sian loan of $200,000,000, or 1,000,000,000 francs, issued by the Rothschilds in Paris, was covered twenty-five times over. The Italian armored warship Roma was struck by lightning off the coast of Italy, and caught fire; to prevent the flames spread- ing to the powder magazine, the ship was sunk. In the District. According to an opinion rendered by the attorney for the District, the District Com- missioners were not given sufficient power under the recent appropriation act to con- sider the bid of the Potomac Electric Light- ing Company for the illuminafion of the streets of Washington; accordingly, the bid was put aside. The board of school trustees submitted estimates for the ex- penses of the schools for the next fiscal year, aggregating $1,584,076. Repres>nta- tives of the local wheelmen called on, the Commissioners to argue in favor of broad- ening the bicycle regulations so as ‘to ¥e"! move alleged discriminations and to re- quire all vehicles to carry lights at night. Secretary Hoke Smith issued an order compelling the Baltimore and Ohio Rail- road Company to vacate the groind now occupied by its tracks at the corner of Ist and H streets and Delaware avenue north- east, which constitutes a government reser- vation. Miss Elizabeth Tiynes, one of the beneficiaries under the alleged Holt will, withdrew from the contest in favor of the heirs-at-law. The Typographical Union elected officers and delegates to the annual convention of the International Union. Trouble arose between the bricklayers on the new union passenger station in e- town over faulty work and a brief strike was ordered, which was compromised after- ward through arbitration in favor of the men. James Smith, colored, assaulted and killed Miss Marguerite Drown, white, at Seat Pleasant, Md., near Benning, jay evening; he escaped to this city, where he was captured by the police early We-ines- day morning; he confessed to the killing and Friday he was turned over to the Maryland authoritie: The local oarsmen Prepared for a regatta to be held on the river this afternoon. —_—_—__ +e = ___ SHOOTING STARS.
