The game has now xressed to such a stage that all pret might as well be abandoned by the friends of that wretched system, which Wasning- ton has already repudiated. it is. idle for the managers of the company to inapirs citizens to plead for further time for the trial of the air motor, or to suggest the use of another patent than thar now in use here, on the theory that the adoption of compressed air will save the city from the nuisance of disturbed screet surfaces dur- ing the construction of the undergrocnd electric system. These suggestions are now afloat and it Is not bard to trace them to their source. The campaign, however, management of the two roads shown the least sign of sincerity. At no point has there been evinced a disposition to seek the best rapid transit device available. These two roads combined form a splen- did system of trackage, suitable for fully meeting the public demand for transporta- tion and, when equipped on a modern basis, capable of earning for its owners a nand- some profit. But the holders of a conirol ling interest in the roads have deliberately put the properties in chancery, induiging in the familiar process of “freezing out” the smailer stock-holders. Not content h wrecking the roads, «llenating their patronage and disgusting the citizens gen- erally with the piratical methods employ- ed, the receiver of the companies and his superiors have persistel in seeking what they know they can not get save through the surrender by © of one of its | most peremptory principles—namely, that the national capital shall be preserved from the dangers and the disfigurement of the overhead troll2y. When the law of j June 10 last was enacted, over a year ago, the time limit on action was so small that the promptest enersy would nave been deemed necessary by any honest concern, seeking to meet the will of the legislature and the people. Instead, however, of somy at once to work to ascortam in a fair way the best means of rapil transit, and, per- haps at the same time the cheapest con- formable to che pudlic requirements, the management proceelod to do busi first with an unheard-of motor which uttel failed to put in an appearance. Then court proceedings were begun with the result that a receivership was ordered. It will 1e- quire much argument and many undeniable facts to persua ashing- ton that the receive not a part of the play, that the air motor promis re not intended solely as a buffer against per- emptory action by Congress and that ihe ultimate design from the beginning was not to tire out the citizens and to trick Congress into yielding to the requests for overhead construction. The citizens will not tire out easily. They are daily witne: i of the su of the underground system. They enjoy the ble: sings of streets free from dangerous en- bran They know that the tem- porary annoyance of ‘listuried street sur- faces are insignificant when compared with the resultant comfort of such lincs as those that traverse Ninth and F streets, and not at all to be comparsi with the discomfort and danger of the permanent occupation of Streets by iraliay pol Ss may be tricked into s ing further exten- sions of time for “experiments” next win- ter, but it will be impossible for the troltey lobby, however strong it may be, to induce that body to charter the dangerous ever- head trolley.

Ar. Debs, in Chicago a few years ago, had impressive proof of this fact, but if ais aident nature pines for a second round and he provokes it, he will mptly be accom- modated in any quarter or Ue country where he may choose to make a stand. Mr. Debs is talking wiidiy, and of course irtespousibly. The times have veen very hard, and are still hard enough, but they do not warrant in the slightest degree the revings of overwarm orators addressing the poor and the discontented. Congress is mcving rapidly to the completion of a tariit bili upon which many wise and ex- perienced men base contident hopes of gen- eral busi revival. The Trusts, it true, are still too potent ia public atfairs, but the fact that the most powerful of these, the Sugar Trust, has just lost two batties before Congress—one for the Aldrich sugar scheWule, and the other for the ab gation of the Hawaiian reciprocity ercourages the belief that in good season even the Trusts will be brought under the preper dominion. But, in any event, iak- ing matters at their very wor st, the iman who talks about overturning this go: ment at the bailot-box, or defying it ope: with arms, is a public enemy. ee The assertion that there is a sentiment in Engiend favoring the abdication of the Queen in favor of the Prince of Wales, cannot be much more than fdle ».
