The persistent refusal of the Eckington end Belt Railway Companies to comply with the demand for satisfactory rapid transit may be at least partly explained upon the general ground that the control of th properties is now vested in per- sons who have no Interest whatever in Washington. They are residents of other cities. Their own business concerns are diversified and affect many communi In trade they are really cosmopolitans. Their sole desire is to advance the value of their holdings and they never feel the feree of public opinion, to which a striccly lecal corporation is always subject. The fact is ilustrated strongly by the course adepted by the railroads that are owned and controlled solely by Washingtonians. The two great trunk lines of the city have yielded to this demand on the part of the public fcr better facilities. One of them halted somewhat in coming to the scratch, a tema of rapid transit that Wrought a great change not only in local Street railway cond ons, but in the trans- I of many other cities. It is no: to assert that these de- sirable results were due mainly to tne force of public opinion. The petitioners for better modes of transit were known to the managers of the roads. Their influence Was felt in business. To withstand such a pressure as was brought upon the perations was out of question, for it based upon real needs and the plain duty of the companies to the community. Had the two reads that now stand out for trol- privileges agai mous sentiment too much cor- the practically u the citizens not been Ferehased by the present owners, withont concern in local affatrs, it is fair © that they d today be r a satis pid transit bas would not handicapped by the cion of the public and the depletion suries, ee If the Klondyke mines will raise up a lot of new capitalists who will do something ing prosperity, the Ame: hasten to acknowledge its ss to a hi of to n- he ne Klondyke rush has not been great enough to cause the entire abandonment cf the s ule digging: — sland and America. Chauncey M. Depew has returned from a visit abrea nd, as usual, relates some of hi jons and experiences in an interesting interview. He spent the greater part of thy time in London, witnessed the ju ions, and hobnebbed with His report about was very much im- saw and heard, and as brought back an increased et for the English people. ‘Their en- asm about their scvereiga and their institutions filled him with enth d statesmen. ws that he what he he gives vent to this in many warm praise. There appears, however, in his interview this remarkable statement: “The curious psychological phenomena in Surope just now is the callousness and indifference to subjects once pregnant with political revolutions. Everybody laughs at the sufferings of Greece, and Byron, if alive, would, by doing today what made him immortal seventy years ago, jump over the narrow line between heroism and but- foonery. The massacres, sufferings and per- secutic of the Arm ns is a political joke which sets ment in a roar, and - Turk is invested in the pepular mind ¢ and chivalry of the Sal- «iter Scott. It was discovered indignant protest of a colonial bishop that the Erglish government was protecting slavery in Zanzibar, and pur- catching and returning fugitive r Arab masters. After a he government ordered the Feturning of fugitive slaves stopped, and the subject was dropped. There wag a time when this would have driven any arty from power, and explanations would ave made it worse and justified Koche- foucauld’s maxim that ‘to explain Is to be damned.’ * One prefers to believe after reading this that Mr. Depew has put the matter far too strongly—in what may be called the ora- torical rather than the well considered manner. It carries too great censure of humanity and civilization. It has the ring of exaggeration. England, it is true—omi- cial Engiand—has shown marked calious- hess In the case of Armenia. She has tol- erated, and to that extent encouraged, the through ux loody work. She has closed both d ears to the appalling situation in nia. But there is reason to believe at in her heart she feels the shame of her conduct. It has never been a joke, and | mention of it in parliament has never been greeted with a roar. She has even attempt- ed to expiain it, though it must be con- It is worth while to take this matter into account, however, even in a more conser- vative form than the one in which Mr. Depew puts it. It is a remarkable thing that the English people at this day should appear indifferent—for indifferent they have appeared—to the sufferings of the Arme- nian race. Every consideration of civiliza- tion and humanity demanded a different course. The Turk should not only nave been restrained but chastised, and England was pre-eminently the power to render the service. Why did she refuse to do it? Ask her politicians, who had irons in the fire and had been coddling the Turk for years, and then ask her money-lenders, who fear- ed for their stocks and shares. Between those two influences England was brought to play the part of an ignominious shirk. But, in fairness, it must be conceded that influer.ces of a kindred nature are at work on this side of the water, and in matters of the highest moment. The appeals from Cuba are quite as pathetic as those from Armenia. From the one country as from the other the tale is that of blood and all manner of persecution. A race is threat- ened with extinction at the hand of tyran- ny. In Hawaii American civilization 1s struggling with paganism. It asks for as- sistance--for the protection of the stars and stripes. Shall the United States much longer neglect a plain duty in these two cases? Shall it fall to the lot of some visit- ing Englishman, upon returning home, to tell his countrymen that stories of Spanish massacres in Cuba, and of anxiety felt in Hawaii for the benefits of American citi- zenship, set the Congress of the United States in a roar? —___+ +e —_____ Nelson Dingley, Jr. The country is not unaware of how much it owes to Nelson Dingley, Jr., in the mat- ter of the solution of the tariff problem. A man of capacity, of thoroughness, of conscientiousness and large experience, he brought to thé task to which Speaker Reed avsigned him as fine a character and as full equipment as the occasion required or as his party could have desired. The coun- try applauded the Speaker's selection, and then as generously applauded Mr. Ding-ey's justification of that selection. The bill ported by him to the House, and under dership passed by the House, bore {amp on every important page of his krewledge and sound judgment. It w: in a word, such a bill as his party had Fromised to the country; and it is not too much to say that had it been accepted by the Senate and promptly passed, both the republican party and the country would But a great “'s work is retained, and is a safe prediction that those portions of the new law which prove to be the most beneficial in operation: will be found to be those devised by Mr. Dingley and his asso- ciates of the House. Congress at its regular session next winter will have work of the first impor- tance presented to it, and it is assuring to reflect that on the House side it will come under the supervision and direction of a leader in every way so competent as the present chairman of the Ways and Means Committee. —_—_ + «+ ___ Speonk Survives. Speonk is not to be wiped off the map of Long Island. It is to remain as a connect- ing link between the old gecgraphy and the new and to remind the modern Americans of the aborigines that once dug clams and killed mosquitoes on the shores of Long Island Sound. The Post Office Department has solved the problem of this town’s name by a compromise. It will be recalled that the Speonkers protested because the “pro- gressive” Presbyterians of the town had secured an order from Washington chang- ing the name to Remsenburg, in honor of the man who gave money for a new church. They refused to take their mail from the postmaster at the Remsenburg office and insisted on holding their church services in a tent. This precipitated a crisis and the departmental officials who have these local vendettas constantly be- fore them for settlement hit upon a course that has satisfied the Speonkers and has not seriously affronted the Remsenburgers. The town has been given two post offices. That of Speonk is a little way out of the old limits of the village but it is doing a booming business, while the cancellations of the postmaster at Remsenburg have fallen off to practically nothing. His re- ipts have gone so far below normal that is ramored in Speonk that he will soon sn and return to his former occupation hasing the elusive bluefish. The an- nouncement of the decision in Washington was received with tokens of great joy in Speonk and at the height of the enthusiasm a veteran duck farmer—this being a lead- ing industry in the vicinity of Speonk— threw up his hat and cheered for the ad- ministration. —_———__seo The Trust Was Defeated. The rise of Sugar stock is quoted as proof that the House lost its’ case in conference. If that is so, to what height would the figures have gone had the Aldrich schedule, drawn in the Trust's interests, been adopted? The schedule was lowered twice after Mr. Aldrich got through with it; once by the republican Senators just before the schedule was reached in debate, and then in conference. The House forced both of of those scalings-down, and has every reason to feel satisfied with the result of the ex- ercise of its influence. After all is said and done, the Sugar Trust was defeated. —___ses In connection with Mrs. Lease’s ambition to be governor of Kansas, even the people who are unable to point out why women, being taxed, should not be allowed to hold office must pause and consider that this republic is but little over a hundred years old and that it is not desirable to attempt too many radical reforms in rapid succes- ston. ——_ + + —___ Jurisdiction Over the Air Car. It was entirely within the range of rea- sonable expectation that Receiver Schoepf should demur to the jurisdiction of the Commissioners in the air motor exveri- ments, after those experiments had been concluded. It was not to be thought of that he would make that plea when they undertook their official tests. That would bave been too straightforward, too much like honest dealing with the community and the authorities. It would have smacked too strongly of sincerity. It would, ver- haps, have saved time, too. Nor is Mr. Schoepf consistent even in his present attitude. He declares that the Commissioners have nothing whatever to do with the question of the motor’s adop- tion, and then protests because the Com- missioners did not send a man to New York to see the system in working order. If the Commissioners have nothing to do with the case why should they go to this trouble and expense, or why should they accept the generosity of the company by permitting it to pay the cost? And is it not the height of impudence that the receiver should sug- gest that the Commissioners should go or send to New York to see how the alr mo- tors are run when the law contemplates that all the experiments should be carried on here, under the conditions that the air motors must finally meet if they are to be put in service? The suggestion savors of & proposition that the mountain should go to Mahomet. It matters not what the air | | motors are doing in New York. Indeed, it is a fact that the motors now running ia that city are not of the same sort as that which is still in operation here. But this is all beside the mark if the contention of the receiver as to the Com- missioners’ authority be well advanced. There is just enough looseness and vague- ness in the act of February 3, 1897, to war- rant the presentation of such a point from a company that does not seek to meet the plain requirements of the statutes. It is @ question of interpretation and in constru- ing the law the two acts bearing on eir motor experiments, those of June 10, 1896, and February 3, 1897, must be read to- gether. The former distinctly places the experiments under the supervision of the Commissioners in the following language: “If after a trial of three months the said compressed air motors shall, in the judg- ment of the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, prove to be in all respects a proper and satisfactory motive power for the speedy and convenient propulsion of street cars, then the said Commissioners are hereby authorized and directed to issue to the said railway companies, respectively, permits to equip their lines within the Dis- trict of Columbia with such compressed air motors.”” There fs no possible doubt as to this pro- vision. The amendment of February 3, 1sv7, only extended the time limits and added a penalty to be enforced in case of non-compliance by the roads with the ag- gregate provisions of the statutes. The protest of the receiver is a mere quibble, which would probably be set aside promptly by any court to which the case might be referred for judgment. The Commissioners are right in their assumption of authority and their course in the matter has the ap- proval of the citizens of the District, with- out regard to their relations to or depend- ence upon these recalcitrant roads. ++ _____ Senator Hanna has a happy faculty of landing on his feet. He has not been per- sonally connected with any of the sugar scandals, and the report that he pays his miners the highest wages west of the Pitts- burg district is likely to come in very con- veniently during the Ohio campaign. ———<- 2 _____ It would be very unfortunate, indeed, if the European alertness to take advantage of any ambiguity of phrase should tempt cur State Department to undiplomatic bluntness in expressing itself. ———_ ee ‘The tariff on sugar has shown that’ in order to serve his country faithfully the patriot on guard must be not only a states- man, but an accomplished mathematician. —__~ e+ _____ Mr. Croker is all prepared for the roie of prodigal son, but Tammany is unable to give any definite assurance as to the fatted calf. —— + +e ____ General Weyler’s principal cause for self- congratulation now is that his name is still on the pay-roil. > o-__—___.

The atmosphere so moist has grown That horrible surprise Comes, as we think How it may shrink When, presently, it dries! Proof. “I told you he didn’t know anything about real mining life,” said the genuine forty-niner. : “But he talks very convincingly about it. He must have had some experience.” “No, sir. He hasn’t had any of the real thing.” “How do you know?” “He says he wants to go to Klondyke.” Reliable. “Yez know Casey, the conthractor,” said Mr. Doian. “Oi do,” replied Rafferty. Is he what ye'd call reliable?” “He is the most reliable man Oi iver knew. Whiniver he tells yez anythin’ ye kin depind an it’s not bein’ so.” “Er lazy man,” said Uncle Eben, ‘“foh- gits "bout how tired he’s gwinter git when de time foh excuse-makin’ comes eround.” The Gold Fever.

Since no better tariff is within range of possibility, it is of vital importance that the pending bill should be passed as speed- ily as possible, and let the business inter- ests of the country be at once adjusted to its provisions. The Prospect of Business Revival. New York Corr. Philadelphia Press. The benefits which the Sugar Trust will receive will be merely their share of the eneral prosperity which every one here belleves awaits the American people. It is the prospect of business revival, of the harvesting and marketing of great crops, of large payments to farmers, of an end of the veried of dcubt which has caused these great advances upon the stock ex- change, and which are not speculative, as the dealings in sugar stock were. The Results of Delay. From the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. It is not improbable that the customs re- ceipts under the new law may drop in its first two or three months to a lower point than has been known in many years, per- haps in the memory of this generation. If this proves to be the fact the people should, and doubtless will, understand the cause— the enormous importations which have been made in view of the expected in- crease in duties. —_>+2e—______ More Than Ever.
