Before that legal light was shed on it the case seemed simple. It appeared to the average intelligence that Coneress had determined to compel the Eckington and Belt roads to equip on a rapid-transit basis, that it gave those cor- Porations the choice between compressed air and underground electric, and that it gave them until the first of the present menth in which to determine which to use, with the advice and consent of the Com- missioners. It then appeared that the roads, having been thus aided to a decision, should have one year in which to com- pletely equip their lines, ending July 1, 1898. That was about all there was to the situation, and there was nothing in it to strain the nerves or to assail the sanity of the general public. But it appears that there was much more in the seemingly plain statutes than even Congress dreamed of inserting. The microscope of legal learn- ing has been applied, and Io! there appear dates and conclusions utterly unheard of before! January 1, 1898, was a point of time never mentioned in the preliminary discussions of the case. Yet the attorney for the District has given his legal cal- endar a flip, and this date appears as the pesitive limit of “beginning to equip.” The “epinion™ Is such as to greatly relieve the tedium of summer existence. It tends to provoke the mirth of the community. It brings to mind the experience of Jerome K. Jerome, the popular English writer, who once published an amusing essay on “Clocks.” In it he deserites a beautiful old piece of furniture that had been bequeathed to him by his uncle, a type of the “Grand- father's © He goes on to tell of its associations, its vagaries and the difficul- ties that It caused to the family. He then characterizes it in this language, which may easily be paraphrased to fit the pe- culiarities of the present situation: “As a mere time-piece It leaves much to be desired; but, considered as a self-acting conundrum, it fs full of interest and variety. For instance, when it strikes fif- teen and the hands point to 20 minutes I know it is a quarter to 8.” +e -—__ A New Personal Pronoun Record. past 11, Senator Wellington has succeeded at least in establishing a new ratio for the per- sonal pronoun in public utterance. His speech of yesterday in the Senate, remark- able as it was in many respects, was most particularly notable for the redundance of its references to the person of the speaker. Mr. Wellington has had several doughty als in the art of individual declamation. ri ‘The records of the body of which he is now a member are filled with examples of high development of this tendency. Roscoe Conkling, for instance, was one of the most profigal users of the personal pronoun. ident Clevelaud in his state papers re- led in references to himseif. But Mr. -veland had his lim Also Mr. Conk g. Mr. Wellington has flung traditions to the winds and worth while to bring to the matter the aid of mathematics to demonstraje the extent of his achievement. His speech yesterday, as printed in today’s issue of the Congressional Record, con- tained 1,108 original words, that is, words not quoted from the article he was criti- cising. In the course of this deliverance the word “myself” occurred twice, “we three times, “my” ten time ‘me” thirteen times, and the great “I” no less than 51 times. This made a total of 79 personal pronouns, or a trifle more than seven and one-tenths per cent of the whole speech. Mr. Cleveland was usuaily well content with five per cent and Mr. Conkling in his most sublimely egotistical moments did not tise above six per cent. it will be seen that Mr. Wellington is very much of a rec- ord breaker. —— +0 —___ Commendable Enterprise. ion of the Washington sion of the Metropolitan ra time fixed refle t rail- ands of of of other st the cemn mer dern i in the way of rapid tran- there would be no is latest a valuable for it arge and hk which has shut off from quick city. ticularly rvice toa — Have the Floor All the Time.

The . and it ought to be enator to put a stop Hale expects a report is clear He was evidently not simply shy- ing a brick at a lot of objectionable people for the purpose of only frightening them, or dispersing them for a little time. The offering of such a resolution was an act of courage which must have grown out of a desire to see effected a permanent cure of an offensive ailment of the senatorial body. And the country also expects a report. The resolution was very generally applauded, and the wish expressed that it might be adopted. The Rules Committee, therefore, would do well to have a meeting, and pass upon the matter at an carly day. Mr. Aldrich, the chairman, is now In town, and @ quorum can easily be obigined. It is plain enough that if the evil com- Plained of is to he corrected. the correction must come by formal action of the Senate, Simply warning such people by calling at- enough. tention to their performances will serve no rmanent end. This one warning hes Scattered them, but unless something more is done they will be certain to reassemble and begin their oid tricks again. They are not a modest set, by any means. The na- ture of their employment shows that they have been selected because of their “cheek,” and their capacity for digesting rebuffs and other discouragements. So, if no action fs taken on Mr. Hale’s resolu- tion, the Senate corridors and the floor of the chamber itself may soon again be ex- pected to swarm with ex-senators and other representatives of special interests pushing their cases with annoying importunities. ~ And now is the time for action. At the regular session next winter Congress will have several problems of wide interest and great importance to solve—problems of a nature to attract lobbyists of both high and low degree. Huntington and his Pacific railroad schemes, and the Sugar Trust fighting the annexation of the Hawaiian Islands, will be on hand in full panoply of battle, and mercenaries ought to, and doubtless will, bring a good round sum the bead. Let the Senate arrange now to keep these people at a decent distance. ° ———___ ++ ——__ A Fair Weather Fighter. The quality of Mr. Richard Croker’s de- votion to the party of his choice is to be seen in his recent declaration that he Is coming back from London to manage the ‘Tammany campaign because he expects that organization to win in the coming campaign. Mr. Croker has been notable of late for his ebsence from these scenes of his former tri:mphs. He is accounted one of the shrewdest men of the day, for he scented the troublous times that were roll- ing up to perplex the Tiger, long before the clouds began to gather. He is a liv- ing example of the truth that “he who fights and runs away will live to fight an- other day.” He thinks Tammany will suc- ceed in landing the mayoralty of Greater New York. In sooth, he knows it. For, says he in explanation of his decision to reappear in New York, “I would not re- tuga now unless I expected Tammany to win.” Mr. Croker may aspire to retain his old-time reputation for political astute- ness by his positive prediction, but he can not hop= to enlist the sympathies of those citizens who admire pluck and love to see a man fight under adverse conditions. The American ideal 1s rot a man who only goes against a weak opposition and when cenfronied by a certain defeat scurries off to the English turf to pose as a retired gentleman of wealth. This discrepancy may cause a falling off in Mr. Croker’s personal following when he gets back. It is to be hoped that he Is a false prophet. To this end harmony between the republi- cans and the independent reform elements i3 necessary. The mere fact of Mr. Crok- ers leadership of the Tammany fore should be a heavy handicap for the Tig: to carry and his decision to lead what he confidently expects to be a winning fight should animate all the citizens who have sood reason to fear a return of Tammany to power to e>cri every effort to demon- strate to Mr. Croker that the times have changed since Mr. Lexow’s disclosures prompted the immortal question of ‘Where did he get it?” > + o_____ Profit Sharing. A New York hotel proprietor has decided to inaugurate the system of profit sharing in his establishment, taking effect at once, andthe world of labor as well as that of capital will doubtless watch the experi- ment with interest. The purpose Is to en- ter into a partnership contract with the heads of the various departments of the hotel, such as the head waiter, the house- keeper and most of the men in the office. It is estimated that this arrangement will put into the pockets of each of these partners about $500 annually, in addition new to salary, with perhaps $500 more on a good year of business. Any employe in- cluded in the profit-sharing scheme who ens during the year will be paid proportion for the time he serves. The projector of the plan declares that his chief object is to relieve himself of the heavy burden of tae responsibility of running the hotel as far as possible. He wants to shift some of it to individuals who can, unde the new arrangement, be relied upon to k heartily for the good of the busi- being actuated by the hope of in- creased profits. The most interesting item in connection with the project is the fol- lowing declaration made to a reporter by in the owner of the hotel, which bears dl- rectly upon one of the weighty problems that has been agitating the labor world for many years: “Here's a case of capital and labor for your consideration. All t talk about their natural and pathy is pure rot.

Painstaking. “Henrietta doesn’t seem to believe any- thing she sees in the newspapers,” said Mr. Meektcn thoughtfully. “It's a good thing not to be too credu- lous. “Yes; but she goes too faf. She can’t even read the advertisement of a bargain sale without going in person to find out whether it’s true in every particular.” A Wasted Warning. How many a summer evening Might be passed in comfort snug, If mosquitoes showed a signal Like the harmless lightning bug. Getting Down to Business. “Have you made any new discoveries to- day with reference to that case we're work- ing on?” inquired one detective. “Not yet,” replied the other. I haven’t had time to read the newspapers.” Careless, “Yes,” said the editor of the picture ‘pa- per: “he 1s a very good artist. I have only one fault to find with him.” “What ts that?” “His style is getting monotonous. He drew two portraits of the same woman, and he made them both look alike.” Wise Precaution. “And what is that especially large piece of fireworks?” asked the careful man’s wife, as the inventory of Fourth of July material proceeded. “That?” he inquired, holding up some- thing quite large and beginning to take off the wrapping paper? “Yes. Is it some new kind of skyrocket?” “No. It isn’t anything in the pyrotechule line. But it’s the most important article in the whole collecticn. “Why,” she exclaimed as he took the paper entirely off. “It’s a telescope!” “Yes, and we'll never pass another Fourth without one. I got that so that Johnny can stand away off and sce whether the fuse of a cannon firecracker has really gone out or not.” Jaly.

Philadelphia Record. Senator Wellington's speech today made the confirmation of young Warner certain. «= hould Plant His Foot Firmly. The President From the Philadelphia Ledger. The occasion seems to be a good one for a firm plarting of the presidential foot, and the indications are that this will be the course pursued. A conflict on this subject must come sconer or later. The President has been trying to avold it and keep beth senators and representatives in good humor until the tariff bill is disposed of; but If Senator Wellington insists on precipitating the issue it may as well be fought out now. As the President must bear the responsi- bility for diplomatic appointments, it 1s not in accord with public policy for him to yield his prerogative to others, whether they happen to occupy official positions or not. —___ +» —___ Cumberland Against Wellington. From the Baltimore Herald. CUMBERLAND, Md., July 2.—Senator Wellington is the subject of much unfavor- able criticism in this city, caused by his attitude in the Warner matter. His friends fear he has gone too far in the use of expletives toward the elder War- ner, and his declaration that he would “fight back’ at President McKinley was in- opportune, his friends think, cause serious complications. The account published in today’s Balti- more papers of the encounter between the senator and Mr. Warner before the Senate committee on commerce yesterday is being discussed by everybody here tonight, and the concensus of opinion is that Alleghany county’s favored son is going at a pace in his brief senatorial career that, if persisted in, must inevitably lead to the overthrow of his political power in the state, as well as destroy his usefulness in the Senate. —— 2 = _____ Wellington’s Lost Ca: Washington Corr.
