Commissioners are at last on the tack in the fight against overhead ic Ught wires when they propose a regulation requiring a fuli report of ich properties in operation by each o1 - companies. There should be the fulle of these dangerous wires. nd too much attention can not be paid to them if the publfe safety and the best inter- ests of the community a o be guarded. Such r-ports should have been matters of record ycars ago, when the electrical by hess began to assume proportions requiring The it to be recognized as an important factor in every-day life. Then such difliculties as how confront the Commissioners in their effort to secure the removal! of illegal wires would be out ef the question. The records and the mits to erect new wires should Be together, and the former would be a perfect check upon the latter. There is ample scope for such regulations in law the under which the Commissioners have in the past drawn rules for the com- tert end health of the people and the safety of life, limb and property, ard in view of the recent decision of the Court of Appeals no successful fight can well be waged against the proposed new requirement, which is in every way reason- able and necessary. The best theory from which to regard the wires is that they are only temporary occupants of the air, and that they must all give vay sooner or later to improved methods of electrical conduc- tton. The danger from them meanwhile st be r-duced to the lowest possible point, and the regulation in question, for- mulated today, is a step in that direction. ———_—__++ + —___. Woman's Week at the Capital. ‘This will assuredly be Woman's Week in Washiagtcn, with the Daughters of the American Revoluticn, the Congress of Mothers, the Woman's Relief Corps and the General Federation of Women’s Clubs all in session at once. The first and third- named orgarizations are old friends, but the assemblage here of women to debate the great problems relating to the welfare of the rising generaticn ts an experiment. It can hardly fail to become a permanent feature of women’s ccrvention work, for it promises practical and good results. Those who undertook the enterprise have laid out an excellent program for the first congress, ard doubtless the proceedings will be fol- lowed closely by thinkers ef both sexes on soctologi matters all over the world. 2 be no geographical boundarles est in and influence of such an assemblage, for motherhood is universal and eternal and the congress may succeed A arresting the world’s thought long teach some very important les- an undeniable appropriate- » holding the tnitial sessions in this rd organization and reform ernment of the most pro- and enlightened of na- it is not too much to e: first congress shall be suc to Warrant another the second essors will be held here as to the int ral . * declaraiion that her abdi- ation was due to stress of cf stances sss not add novelty to history.

Long of Massachusetts, Who has been named as Secretary of the Navy in the cabinet of President-clee for the stand which he has taken in favor of Spain in her war against the Cuban tusurgents and against intery by the United States in the Cuban tr bles.” Here ts a chapter tn the effort to persuade the Spanish tn Cuba that the Mc Kinley ad- ministration will follow the Cleveland lines in the matter of the Cuban war. The first step was to quote Mr. Sherman on the sub- ject. When the Ohio Senator was reiurn- ing from Canton, where he had accepted the tender of the State Department. the train on which he was traveling stopped for lunch at Pittsburg. During the ten minutes’ stay an enterprising reporter tackied the Senator about Cuba, and then rushed back to his desk and assured the readers of his paper that the Cuban policy of the Cleveland administration would be continued by the McKinley administracion. There was not, of course, the slightest warrant for such an assertion based upon anything that Mr. Sherman jad said, and he promptly so stated. It is now Gov. Long's turn. He has been discussing Cuba with a traveling correspondent, and his ut- terances are construed to indorse the Cleveland policy and to warrant the ex- pectation that {t will be continued under the new regime. What are the probabilities? In the first place no man who has been selected chair at the MeKi cabinet table would undertake to speak at this time for the incoming administration on any subject. The President-elect himself would not do such a thing. There has been no con- ference as te Cuba, and hence no policy can have been agreed upon. In the second place, when the first conference is held, what will confront the President and his advisers? The declaration of the St. Louis platform in favor of Cuba, the votes of the republican members of both houses of the present Congress on the subject of granting belligerent rights to the insur- gents, and the well known popular Im- patience with the whole Cleveland ontfit for the stubborn and un-American nd taken and held against a brave and op- pressed people struggling for liberty. Will th have no influence? May the admin- istration which is to start so conscientious- as to the party deliverances and prom- on the tariff question and the money question be expected to repudiate the party’s deliverance on the question of human freedom? Just how soon after the 4th of March the Cuban question will be called up, or what stevs in detail will then be taken, caunot, of course, be foretold. Matters have been muddled and made difficult: by the course of the present administration. But that Cuba will find a friend insiead of an enemy in the new administration seems guaranteed by every consideration of com- mon sense and justice. ————_+ +> —__ Hyacinths and Thistles. ate yesterday appropriated $10,000 to enable the Seeretary of War to investi- gate the on of some of the here- tofere navigable rivers of the South At- nd Gulf states by the aquatic plant known as the water hyacinth, a thing of confined but a terror to boat- ad itself at large. sived against this beauty when men when allowed to sp Coraplaints have been r nuisance for several years, and representa- tions have been made to the authorities here that great pecuniary loss has resulted from the hyacinths, which were originally introduced into Florida from Venezuela to adorn the grounds of some of the large hoteis. Thence they found their way to the rivers and being most prolitic they have spread until in places they extend in solid es from shore to shore, a complete tacle to navigation. They do not root the soil but float loosely about, being driven by the wind. Currents and surface drifts carry them together in places and there they mat so solidiy as to resist at times the passage of a steamer going at full speed. This tendency to shift position ren- ders individual work in clearing the rivers of no avail and it has been found necessary to appeal to the federal government for aid, just as in the case of the Russian thistle that has become such a pest in the northwest, notably in the Dakotas. This plant was introduced by accident and from a small beginning it has spread over sev- éral states, choking profitable vegetation and weakening the soil. At seed-time it breaks from the tap-root and rolls readily en edge before the wind, scattering its seeds for miles. Co-operative work by all the states In the affected district was neces- sary but could not be secured and the go ernment was asked to help. The uns e- cessful fight in Congress for the million- dollar appropriation for this purpose is a matter of recent history. There is a enuris analogy between these two vege- table enemies to mankind, each developing from a small beginning to the most menac- ing proportions and defying all efforts at eradication, The hyacinth requires water and a warm climate for growth while the thistle thrives best In dry soll and low temperature it remains to be seen whether the nation will be more willing to engage in a crusade against the hyacinth than against the thistle. ———— Nevada Is waiting to discover whether the amount cf money left behind by the sports at Carson City will be sufficient to compensate the state for the shock to moral sentiment which legalized prize- fighting involves. ——~e+e—___.
