Indictments Are Now in Order. The acting district attorney announces his intention to lay before the grand jury at its first meeting after the present recess the case of the killing of Judge Claughton and & Custis at Deanewood last Friday by a Pennsylvania raiiroad train. His words to this effect, printed elsewhere to- day, are indicative of a determination to fasten the responsibility for this tragedy upon the single person or all the persons who may be found after careful investiga- tion to be accountable for the conditions that made the accident possible. The ver- dict rendered yesterday by the coroner's jut s the first step toward such a prose- cution as the public now has every reason te expect. As Mr. Taggart says, the case is difficult in that it is no easy matter to fix respensibility with that degree of legal that the courts require in ail prosecuti Yet somebody is un- sible, and with the ma- exactness such srand jury it should not be impo: or even a matter of great complication to determine just who shall stand before the bar of the criminal court to answer to an oad company collectively is the r, but as it is impossible to imprison or hang a corporation, in cases of alleged crime some agents or employes must be found upon whom the accountability rests most directly. The prime cause of the disaster seems to have been the lack of Froper fa ties for guarding the crossing. Either through a desire for economy or by reason of an error in judgment some offi- cial or set of officials has brought about this cordition by deciding that one person is sufficient in the Deanewood tower. In the light of the finding of the coroner's jury, that official or set of officials scems to be the proper subject for indictment and prosecution. But the grand jury should go so thor- cughly into this flagrant case as to bring the last degree of pressure to bear upon the railroad company to take steps that will reduce the chances of future accidents of this sort toa minimum. To this end ail the employes from the highest to the low- est whose performance or neglect of duty in the least contributed to the disaster should be taken into consideration by the grand ju y throwing a cordon around the entire em, as far as it can be reached by the local pro: 's of law, the individual or individuals who are really to blame may be brought at least to account. —_ e+ -____ In Militant Mood Again.

A recent letter from “Holland,” the New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Press, an impertant bh ng upon the future of rapid transit, not only in the Metropolis, but in other cities, including Washingtcn. This correspondent describes fully the lately announced plans of the great syndicate called the Metropolitan Traction Compa He notes the simul- taneous :ublication of the two significant facts that this corporation will soon lqui- d cease to exist, and that under an- other corporate name it will proceed to equip at least one of its lines with com- esse It has long been known that this company was experimenting with vari- ous phases of the compressed air system and that one obstacle in the way of the adoption of the most successful form of motor was the heavy financial interest of in of the stockholders and directors in # leading electrical stock. In fact the per- sonal holdings of some of the individuals of the company have so complicated the situation as to create a spirit of skepticism on the part of the public with reference to all announcements heretofore put forth. This ricion has spreal to Washizgton, where much the same situation exists, as two of the lo roads are now under the me of the men who have a New York traction affairs. One improperly acting for both r congressional orders to equip with a rapid transit system, conducted so- called tests of the compressed air system, but so incomplete were the experiments, so Suspicfous were many of the surrounding circumstances, and so loath were the man- agers to meet the public and the authori- tes in a frank effort to obey the law, that the people of Washington have undoubted- ly formed prejudiced notions against the air motors and are now in such a frame of mind that even the announcement that compressed air will be adopted en certain New York lines will not suffice to rextore public confidence in the efficacy of the sys- tem. ‘fhe local tests were plainly incom- plete and imperfect, and the lack of proper facilities for satisfactory experiments was made the more irritating to the public by reason of the fact that this insufficiency was regularly attributed to the refusal of the courts to permit adequate expenditures for this purpose. It was notorious that the roads were placed im the custqdy of the courts for the specific purpose of securing for the majority stockholders a still greaicr possession of all the properties through the issuance of receiver's certificates for the ostensible purpose of paying for the com- pressed air tests and subsequent equip- ment. Thus in the eyes of the people the entire transaction was a mere maneuver on the part of the wreckers of the roads to complete the “freeze-out” process that was already under way. The rapid transit pre- tenses of the management seemed to serve as a convenient blind for the real designs. Incidentally it was unquestionably the hope that in the end the far cheaper overhead trolley system would be forced upon the unwilling community, thus achieving the great aim of the syndicate that came to Washington several years ago and bought up all the then available trackage and franchises with the purpose of gridironing the city with overhead wires. This in brief is the background of the present compressed air endeavor of the Eckington-Belt end of the great Philadel- phia street railroad syndicate. This con- cern is, as already stated, identified by ind viduals- with the Metropolitan Company of New York. The latter will now change tts name but not its nature, will equip part of its lines with the underground electric system, part with compressed air and main- tain scme of its present cable routes. In his summary of the situation ‘‘Hoiland,” who has al taken a cl and intelli- gent interest in the rapid transit problem, writes thus:, “The most careful estimates seem to have proven that this ch encounter few superior to compre: in the long run in a crowde . satisfactory than an overhead trol -ust of constructing this plant that of the overhead trolley, all things considered, including the of the community and the conventen operation in a crowded thoroughfar belie ideal system.” The local prejudice against compressed air, however, need not wholly prevail even in favor of the undezground electric s tem whiew {S in such excellent and satis- faétory operation in this city. All that has been seen here of the air motors has been subject to reasonable suspicion. A poor device that had achieved a bad record els where was imported and put through a few paces under favoring conditions. An- other substituted and has received only qualified approval from the local engi- neering suthorities. The experiments have at no time been conducted on a proper scale, representative of the local needs and the g y of the situation, and at ail points when the inadequacy of the tests has been noted the fact of the recei has been brazenly presented as an The New York experiments seem to have been conducted in a different The best al ble motor was on a libefal penditure, and notwithstanding the oc sional tain! of stock-jobbing that appeared, the desire seeried to be to sift the ai tem to the depths of its c omy. Perhaps now the exact availability of this form of motor will be demonstrated and the Commissioners will be cnabled to determine accurately as to the best course to pursue. In them now rests the future to a certain extent, of these two road: They rave the power to grant authori equip with compressed air, or, rejecting that device as unsuitable and inefti they can compel underground cle equipment under the terms of the 1 ———_~+e- A Satisfactory Ing The thorough manner in which the in- quest in the Deanewood accident case was it is ed that the underground trolley is the le as re; conducted does much to suspend at !east the public prejudice that undoubtedly ex- ists in the District against the coroner's tem. The witnesses were examined in a way to elicit the fullest possible infor- mation relating to the disaster and ap- parently little was left for the grand jury but to ascertain the identity of the proper persons for future prosecution. It has long been felt that the coroner, with his mingled medical and judicial duties, was more or less of a misfit, irrespective of his person- ality. The inquest could however readily be made a valuable institution. Its very early scanning of the case, enabling the jurymen to obtain impressions while the recollection of the affair is fresh and giv- ing them access to testimony that might not be available afterward, should be of importance in aiding the prosecuting offi- cers later to reach proper conclusions. But the inquest must be judicially conducted to be of real value and it is seldom the case that the coroner, who is presumably chosen largely because of his medical skill, pos- sesses the peculiar judicial temperament “and qualifications. —___-+ 2 = ____ An American colored man has met with such success as an artist as to nave one of his paintings purchased by the French gov; ernment.

It could not easily be worse for the cause of sound money. In a num- ber of counties factional fighting of the bitterest description has been in progress for weeks, while in the city of Baltimore the party is now torn as never before. An election tomorrow would give the state to the democrats by an overwhelming major- ity. Factional fighting is no bad thing up to a certain point. It argues virility, and a conviction among the contestants that there is something in sight worth fighting for. But it cannot be carried too far with- cut disastrous consequences to all con- cerned. There comes a time when the, fac- tions must turn from fighting each other and unite against the common enemy, and it is essential that such union shall always take place; if victory is to be achieved, upon terms of honorable and generous concessions on both sides. In the case in Maryland could there be opportunity more favorable or inviting for burying the hatchet than the state convention will afford, when the whole situation may be canvassed? Naturally, the leaders are held respon- sible, and are responsible, for the present discouraging condition of things. The rank and file will divide up under the inspiration of admiration for this man or of gratitude to that man. But it is never much to the purpose, when the day for the common lining up arrives, to be too nice or severe in fixing responsibilities. Leaders at such a time cannot be changed, any more than horses can be swapped while crossing a Mr. Gorman’s successor, sound money is stream. The wise policy, therefore, is for all concerned to make the best of the a uation, and, while demanding reasonal concessions, evince overs, SEE also to make them. The campaign in Maryland this year pos- sSesses national interest. In the election of the legislature, which in turn will elect as much an issue in the state as it was last year, and sound money men every- where will wish for a sound money victory. The success of Mr. Gorman would not be hailed as such a victory. It could not be. Mr. Gcrman has written himself down as an uncertain man on that, as on other questions. The only means, therefore, of meeting national sound money expectations is through such another union of sound money forces as was effected last year, and this will require, where now discord and divisions exist, republican union, agree- ment and enthusiasm. The leader who contributes the most to that end will de- serve the most at the hands of his party; and be likely to receive his due. ——__ + +e —____ Rather than have any disturbance about Hawaii, Japan ought to be willing to adopt the Chinese method of disposing of its surplus laboring population and send it direct to this country by way of Canada. —___+ 0 + ______ The mine operator who accuses labor leaders of having sold their influence to capitalists neglected to make any comment on the moral status of the men who did the purchasing. . a ee The men who die and leave contested millions behind them would never have had time to get rich if they had courted all the women widows. who claim to be their > © The Washington ball club and the free silver movement would both be grateful to any correspondent who will send a re- liable recipe to cure charleyhorse. —>- > ____ The Klondike region has a newspaper, its “Help Wanted” columns will doybtiess become conspicuous long petor Christ- mas. ———++o The sultan and a namber of Greeks have managed to achieve harmony in a demand for more wer. —- e+ ____ SHOOTING STARS.

Some of the mine operators in the Pitts- burg district are talking of using Gatling gens on the strikers should they attempt any interference. So far the strikers, as a rule, have been a very peaceful lot, and it would appear that this is one instance in which they themselves are entitled to an injunction.
