The beadly Grade Crossing. The community is again shocked at the news of another grade-crossing accident. ‘This time two lives were lost—one an aged lawyer, who was highly esteemed by a large circle of friends, and the other a young woman of many attractive qualities, a descerdant of the family of the first Presi- dent of the United States. The worst feat- ure of this accident is that it, appears to have beén the result of parsimony on the part of the railway ccmpany. According to the testimony given at the coroner's inauest there was but one man employed in the tower, whose duties in- cluded the receipt and sending of tele- graphic messages, the looking after the signals and the lowering and raising of the gates at the crossing. It is in evi- dence that the employes of the road had frequently commented upon the excess of work required of the man at this point and that the dey cperator had frankly told the officials of the company that his du- ties were too great for the salary he was receiving and that they must either give him more money or put a gateman there. The company raised iis compensa- tion and did not employ a gateman, but made no improvement in the night service. The Star has for years urged the tion of the grade crossing and the elevation or depression of railway tracks within the limits of the District. If the grade crcss- ing is to exist every precaution to prevent accident should be taken by the railway companies. There should be a gateman at every crossing, who should have no other duty than to see that the gates are lowered on the approach of every train. Failure to provide proper protection in this respect on the part of a company makes it justly liable to the charge of criminal negli- gence and wilful disregard of the lives of those who are compelled to cross its tracks. So far as the testimony has gone at the inquest the case seems to be one calculated to excite indignaticn in the community at the sacrifice of life by a failure of the railway company to apply proper safe- guards at the point where the accident oceurred. ——_~++e —____ The Virginia Quarrel. it was te be expected that the action taken by the republican state committee of Virginia would be criticised in some quarters. And it is: within the state and out of it the note of protest is heard. A campaign, It is insisted, ought to be made even inthe face of the discouragements that exist. The party, although again un- successful at the potls, would benefit in the way of discipline and holding to the line of organization. To decline combat, it is declared, is to*increase the discourage- ments and invite demoralization. Bat it is only fair to assume that the committee took all of these things into account before it voted. It is a thoroughly representative committee. It knows the state from one end to the other. Its mem- bers were all in last year's fight, and hence are fresh from experience with the demo- eratic election laws. They claim to have worked last year as never before and with such stance as they could not hope to ‘ommand in this year. And yet they lost the state by nineteen thousand votes. What the result of a fight this year would be is matter only for speculation. It is 2a certainty that the republicans would los Bet by how much? Suppose the re- turns, no matter by what means secured, should give the state to the democracy and free silver by forty thousand majority. Would that, the committee asks, benefit use of sound money in Virginia or the where? Each faction questions the motives of the other. The Lamb faction, which has secured no recognition in the matter of. patronage at the hands of the administra- tion, is very certain that the Agnew fac- tion, now that it has the patronage, is indifferent to everything else. The Agnew faction is equally certain that only be- cause the Lamb faction has been disap- pointed in the matter of patronage does it press the making of a campaign this year. Its desire is to give the democrats an opportunity to appear to score a tre- mendous victory, in the hope that it may accepted by the country as a rebuke to administration. Charges and counter charges may go for what they are worth. But the fact re- mains that the committee's .vote against a convention was almost unanimous, and that the committee is in closest touch with the naticnal administration. + ee —__. Varied Uses of the Rays. Many and varied are the uses of the Roentgen rays. They have been utilized te find vagrant needles in the human sys- tem, to locate long-lost bullets, to reveal anatomical mis-cues, to ascertain the whereabouts of pennies and other unwhole- some articles of diet swallowed by juve- nile experimenters in gastronomy, to de- tect the wickedness of would-be smug- glers, to pry out, in short, a hundred and one secrets of man and nature. It has re- mained for a Camden high school girl, however, to add to the practical reper- toire of these marvelous vibrations that pentrate so many hitherto opaque sub- stances. She was under instruction in wood working in the manual training department and one feature of her an- nual examination in this branch of learn- ing was the construction of a small box to contain gloves and sundry other articles appertaining to the feminine toflet. The work required the use of long nails ini one end of the box and short nails in the other and after these had been driven the young woman discovered to her dismay that she had forgotten the relative places of these two sizes. It was all important that she should know these facts in order to pre- vent certain mechanical difficulties and thus to save the record mark that contrib- uted to the scholarly total of the year. Acting on an inspiration she took her un- finished box to a kindly wizard with a Crookes’s tube and static machine, who turned on the rays and revealed the nails, all in their places. The girl then finished the box correctly, received a perfect mark on her achievement and passed her exam- ination triumphantly. Shall it now be ®aid that Herr Roentgen is not a practical Lenefactor? ————+-s—___ ‘The main point of merit which the Ger- man emperor's new battle car displays is the fact that there will be no attempt to fun it with an overhead trolley. Gov. Griggs’ Choice. Gov. Griggs of New Jersey, an able law- er and very popular man, has been solicit- ed to stand ‘or the Senate as the repubil- can candidate against Senator Smith. He declines, upon the score that he is too poor to enter the Senate. His decision causes comment, in which may be heard that old ery about the degeneracy of the Senate into a mere club of rich men and thelr agents. But there is no authority for supposing that Gov. Griggs intended any such slur on that body. It requires no fortune to hold high of- fice In Washington and exercise command- ing influence in affairs. Extravagant liv- ing is not the rule of political life here. Men of t!arge means who reach member- ship in either house of Congress, or are called to high executive place, entertain handsomely, but only on the same princi- ple that they entertain at home. Society expects it of them not because of their office but because of their means. They are able to entertain, and hence it becomes @ part of their public duty. Many very eminent and influential men who come here in public commission without fortune make no attempt to emulate those with fortunes. They live here, as they do at home ,according to their income, and they do not suffer in any way by reason of it. They come to commanding proportions in the transaction of the public business ,and leave lasting reputations behind them. Gov. Griggs is a practicing lawyer with a family. He probably has ambitious pro- fects for his sons and daughters. To give them the best of opportunities requires him to attend to the matter of income closely. When he leaves his’ present office he will very likely return to a lucrative law business ,to which, freed from all po- litical cares, he can give his whole time. That will mean in a few years for him a snug estate and the ability to do for his children what he has in mind for them. An election to the Senate would, on the other hand, deprive him of many profes- sional opportunities, and make him, in comparison, but a small financial return. In the circumstances therefore he for- goes the honor of the senatorship for him- self in consideration of matters which for the time he considers weightier. The Situation in India. The latest news from India is somewhat assuring, but the situation undoubtedly continues grave. This is shown by the fact that 35,000 British troops are now in the neighborhood of the scene of the threat- ened uprising. The putting of so large a force in the field there is evidence suffi- cient that the British commander scented real danger. The suspected tribes are send- ing in their submission to the government, but ample means will probably be taken to prove their sincerity before the British watchfulness is abated. General Roberts of Indian fame, now commander of the forces in Ireland, is quoted as confident of the ability of the government in India to deal successfully with any trouble that may arise there. His reliance is, of course, on the size and equip- ment ofthe army. His faith in that is naturally great. It has dealt with some pretty ticklish affairs there under his own direction. But he makes a disquieting statement in the doubt he throws over the sincerity of the Ameer of Afghanistan. He does not think that the mutinous tribes- men would have shown their teeth at all if they had not felt assured of the Ameer’s approval. The Ameer exercises great in- fluence over his people, and if he is secretly fomenting trouble for the British, these Present messages of submission from the “suspects” may prove to be a feature of his treachery. A too precipitate start may have been made, and the Ameer may now be advising a policy of submission pending more complete arrangements for a second outbreak. While the British are very strong in India, and have now a better civil and mili- tary organization than ever before, an up- rising of the natives on fanatical lines would tax the British resources severely. And then there would be the danger of a spread of the disaffection far beyond the ordinary calculations. The forces and in- spirations that work in time of war among such wild tribes as in case of another re- volt would again confront the British, are not easily discovered, or, when discovered, easily understood by civilized men. The necessity arises, therefore, for the employ- ment of the most terrible agencies for put- ting down revolts, and these in turn beget terrible reprisals on the part of the sav- ages. The mutiny of forty years ago left a memory which will long survive in Eng- land, as in India, and is still sufficient to awaken anxiety at the bare suggestion of a collision of any kind there between the authorities and the natives. —___ + + = Mr. Watson will doubtiess indorse Mr. Peffer's opinion that the populisis ought to be a party urito themselves.

Boies, in addressing a democratic meeting at Marshalltown, Iowa, reiterated an opinion he had previously expressed, that free coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 was not, in present &onditions, “within the reach” of the friends of silver. He first expressed this opinion some months ago, before wheat and silver had parted ccmpany, and while the market price of silver bullion still hovered near the quota- tion of last November. The deliverance, therefore, is not to be read in the light of recent developments. It was not necessary for wheat to go to a dollar and silver bul- lion to reach the lowest figure recorded in its history for the distinguished Iowan to discover the error of last year’s democratic contention. Gov. Boies was originally a republican. Becoming a convert to’the principle of tariff reform, he joined the democratic party, and then embraced the cause of free coin- age. He was a candidate for the presiden- tial nomination at Chicago last year, Nnd at the outset had a large following. He was at that time in full accord with the party's silver policy. Had he been nomin- ated it would have been upon the platform on which Mr. Bryan stood. He supported Mr. Bryan as the party’s nominee. But now he admits a change of view, and con- fesses that in his opinion free coinage at 16 to 1 as an independent act by this gov-_ ernment caunot be accomplished. Gov. Boies does not abandon the cause of silver. He is in favor of keeping up the fight, but upon lines promising success. His present proposition is that recommend- ed by the late Mr. Windom when Secretary of his party or the country through Con- gress distinctly on his plan. But in July of the next year, 1890, Congress, with a re- publican majority in both houses, passed the Sherman act with its silver bullion pur- chasing clause, and in that Mr. Teller and his silver friends concurred. The bullion purchases under that act, however, did not rejieve the situation, and at the end of The Busy’ Cofwer, 8th and Market Space. eS is And After-Inventory Sale. three years, Mr. Cleveland, who had been es returned to the White House meanwhile, ar S fi-sisted upon the repeal of the purchasing fi. oye clause of the act, and this, after a pro- + tracted fight in Congress, was secured. Among the arguments in support of the repeal of the purchasing clause of the Sher- man act it was urged that, by such pur- chases, the government entered, in a meas- ure, upon the populistic “warehousing policy.” Now that “warehousing policy,” it will be seen, is at the root of this Win- dem plan as revived by Gov. Boies. The government, it is true, would make no Purchases, as under the Sherman act, but it would become the custodian of all silver bullion upon which the owners desired an iseue of notes with a government's stamp upon them. But the question is of prime interest be- cause it is brought forward by a silver leader who abandons the ratio of 16 to 1 while holding on to the silver issue. He resides in the Northwest, where silver has }+ long been strong, and there will be curios- ity to know how many men. who, like himself, stood on the Chicago platform last year, are now, like himself, convinced that the ratio of 16 to 1 is out of the question, and the fight for it abandoned.

The old ‘Republican Association of IHi- nois” at Washington is to be disbanded— and thereby hangs a tale very creditable to the civil service reform intentions of the -administration. This association, like many others at the capital representing other states, is composed of office holders resident in Washington. For thirty years it has been active in helping other Illinoisans to get office and in sending home the voters at times of close elections. Lately, however, it indorsed the application of a ¢itizen of Tilinois for office and received word from the department applied to that no such support corld be recognized as set forth the political service of the applicant or the politics of the indorsers. This convinces the organization that it has no particular rea- son for longer existence. It is regarded as a significant step bearing on the suet of the reform. Says the Washington cor- respondent of the Chicago Evening Post:: “It means that the small-fry politicians in Washirgton have realized at last that the merit system is in force; that the day of political pull in the departments is passing away; that President McKinley's last civil service order is going to be honestly econ- strued in spirit as well as in letter in every department, and that when ‘clerks and others secure promotion or advancement it will be because they deserve it and not be- cause of ‘influence.’ fi) be aber arm Pons Soon Sana Nee Saree aceee | Imitation Oak Reception Tabie, Special PHCE. ste e ee eee eee eee Gold on Trees.
