A Case for Prompt Acti member of the Northeast »ciation wrete to Lest week a Washington Citizens’ As: the Commissioners calling their attention te the fact that two important grade crossings of the B. and O. road on Florida avenue northeast are left unprotected each from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. No action was i" : this matter so far as is known. iast night aining two per- was run inte by da one of these cr . killed, while the people had a very narrow from instant death. Thus only by argin the community was horror of a repetition of the re- nt at Deanewood, which caused 1 of two well-known persons. It seoms incredible that the railroad com- pany would dare to maintain such death- traps with so inadequate a guard and that the authorities should permit them to con- tinue in this course without interruption. The existing regulation on the subject is too plain and explicit to permit of any misunderstanding er evasion. It reads: every railroad cross- soge of hall be passage of after the a vielution of the regulation oc- whenever a train is allowed to pi one of © two crossings while the gate remain upright. The regulation provides penalty of from five to forty dollars for ch a fine is assessable for ach train between the at night and 6 in the morning. Should the maximum penalty be enforced in case of beth ¢ while the sched- ule cails as now ssage of sixteen of the road, the traims on t cumulation of fines would amouni to $640, while the minimum would be $S0.

Good nominations in Baltimore for the legislature will be most helpful in bringing out the full independent sound money vote in the c! Those are the nominations, indeed, of vital interest in the matter of the national question involved. The sound ™money democrats of Maryland thoroughly Gistrust Mr. Gorman both on national and State Issues, and they are hoping for his Fetirement to private life. They are anx- not Ke may not through a pai ve © date ious to assist in bringifig it about. They are entitled to every encouragement to that end. The city contingent in the legis- lature will turn the scale in the senatorial contest, and hence the city legislature ticket should be composed of men upon whom the sound money forces of all par- ties, republican, national democratic and independent, can unite thoroughly and cf- fectively. ‘The question of federal patronage seems very unwisely to have been dragged into the controversy. How can the national administration be expected to take part in a factional quarrel? Who has the au- thority to be promising support, or threat- ening opposition, in the administration's name based upon what shall or shall not be done in the settlement of the matters at issue? So far as the probabilities go, no such authority exists. It ts not to be as- sumed, of course, that the administration is indifferent about the result. It could not well be that. Maryland is a most im- portant state in all sound money calcula- tions. ‘he administration is reasonably to be expected to desire sound money su: cess in Maryland, and, so far as it notes the preliminary maneuvers to bring that suc- cess about, will not be likely to look witn any disfavor on those who manifest a greater interest in the cause than in them- selves. The administration, in a word, having seen the republicans of Maryland reject bossism, may not be expected to try to re-establish through patronage, the evil in the state. ‘The game is still in the hands of the sound meney men, and will be, safely, until ithe new primaries are held. The battie can be wen in November, and if it is not, it will not be difficult to fix the responsi- bility. A revival of bossism in offensive shape can easily lose the fight. —_—__~ ++ ____ A Choice of Losses. Some of the free-silver papers are much concerned at tke alleged lack uf patriotism and common serse displayed by certain sound money men who have not grieved at the decline in the valve of silver, though that decline means a reduction of the in- trinsic value and an increase of the fiat percentage of value of our $500,000,000 of silver money. ‘Tne reasons fér looking with equanimity upon this deciine and consequent apparent national loss are not such as would commend thems in any event to an individual or a ne of free-silver tendencies, but they ebvious and worthy of consideration. A powerful effert was made last year, a renewal of which !s promised in the near future, to depreciate the entire currency of the United States, so that as an ulti- mate result 1t would follow the fluctua- tions of the value of silver in the mar- kets of the world. In the opinion of the sound money man success of the proposi- tion of independent free coinage at 16 to 1 threatened and -still threatens partial repudiation of debts, public and private, the evils of a depreciated and depreciating currency, and all the disasters to the credit and welfare of the nation whicn follow in natural course. A present decline in silver simultaneous with a rise in wheat knocks in the head a favorite argument of the free-silver ad- vocate, and thereby tends to avert the national denger of independent free coin- age at 16 to 1. Every successive reduc- tion in the market value of silver in re- lation to gold shows more clearly the ab- surdity of committal to the arbitrary coin- age ratio of 16 to 1, brings out in sharper relief the fiat and swindling feature of the proposed currency, and renders it the more unlikely that the people of the United States will ever be fooled into mak- ing an experiment, so certain to be dis- astrous. As long as the United States docs not attempt to sell its silver curren¢y as bul- licn in the markets of the world, and as long as the amount of its fiat silver dol- lars is so limited that it can keep its pledge to maintain these dollars as good as gold, irrespective of their intrin the supposed loss resulting to it from an increase of the fiat percentage in its sil- ver dollar is merely nominal and works no substantial injury. The sound money men who shed no tears ever this shadowy and at present unfelt loss from silvers decline believe that through this decline the danger of a vast and substantial less through independent free coinage at 16 to 1 will be more cer- tainly averted. They are neither foo! . nor unpatriotic, except in the eyes of free- sily.r advocates, open and disguised. ——>+e—___.

This calls attention to the fact that not all the bad people in that state are politician —__-- e+ ___ Mr. Bryan was compelled to temporarily neglect the Ohio campaign in order to at- tend to Fis own interests in Nebraska. ———_—-F- os Alsace-Lorraine. Alsace and Lorraine have been a bone of contention between France and Germany for many generations and have passed buck and forth until a curious and almost un- precedented complexity of domestic condi- tions has arisen. France is just now wildly enthusiastic over the hope that the lately formed Russian alliance will result in a return of these areas to French rule, from which they were taken in 1871. Ger- many will not admit that such an action is possible, and until a compromise, such as now seems impossible, is reached be- tween the two countries there will probably always exist a bitter feeling between Ger- many and France over the provinces. In view of the strategic advantages which accompany control of both banks ef the Rhine Germany would never willingly con- to a transfer of Alsace to France, since that province commands the west bank of the Rhine for 115 miles, and its session would give a powerful neighbor unvubstructed access to that river. Lorraine and Alsace were occupied during Casar's time by Celtic tribes and formed a part of ancien® Gaul. As the Roman Empire declined the region was gradually Germanized by the tribes from the Rhenisn districts overflowing into the fertile val- leys of the Vosges. It was definitely a part of the German empire after the tenth century. In‘1648, under the terms of the peace of Westphalia, a part of the province was ceded to France, and in‘ 1681 Louis XIV during an interval of peace surprised Strasburg and captured the entire remain- der of the district. Sixteen years later the peace of Ryswick was accomplished and all of Alsace and Lorraine was formally turned over to France. This loss of a beautiful land was a bitter biow to the German Empire. German con- tinved to be the chief language of the peo- is re a et sumine ple of the provinces for years, and during the entire perfod of the French occupa- tion, which was not interrupted for one herdred and seventy-four years, the news- pepers were printed in both German and French. Yet in time the people became Gallicised and there was a storm of pro- test against the cession to Germany when in 1871, after the Franco-Prussian war, the two provinces were restored to Germaay. Fifty thousand of them: went into voluntary exile, preferring expatriation to a change of rulers. The Germans sought after the restitution to Teutonize the province as far as pos- sible, and to this end the use of the French language in the schools was prohibited. Gradually much of the feeling of restless- ness has died away and the provinces have beccme somewhat accustomed to the change, but, as indicated in the dispatch sent to Premier Meline from citizens of Lorraine the other day, which has caused a flurry in Germany, there is a strong French sentiment in that district even now. —_~>+s—___.

The Affable Explniner. “Yes,” said the politician, “I said I was the working man’s friend.” “But you don’t do any werk,” suggested the man with calloused hands. “No—not at present.” “And you never did any work.” “That's true. You see, what the working- man most needs is work. And I am too much the working-man’s friend to run apy risk of taking work away from him.” Elucidated. “Whut do it mean,” said Miss Miami Jones, “when dey talks in dishere novei book "bout er young man payin’ his ad- dresses to a young lady?” “Doesn't you know?” exclaimed Erastus “I sho'ly doesn’. “It means dat he done put de postage stamp on de love letter.” ‘Turn About. Ere long the farmer gay will go With face all free from sorrow To make advances to the men From whom he used to borrow. sir,” the rural voter, “I wouldn't trust that politician under no cir- cumstances. “Why not?” “Ye've heard about how ye orter beware of a two-faced man?” “Sex? “Well, after seein’ all the different picters of him in the newspapers, I’ve come to the corclusion that he’s a seventeen-fa man at the lowest cale’lation.” Alaskan Consolation. “f don't think I shall go to the Klondike, after all,” said the man who has had the gold fever. “But you were very enthusiastic a short time ago.” “Yes.

It is fitting that California should mani- fest its sense of obligation to Senator Mor- gan by such means as is in its power. ator Morgan has been ihe most con- spicuous champion of the interests of Cali- fornia in the recent sessions of Congress. He was und special duty to the people of this coast. He represents the state of Alabama, which is far removed from the exggressions of the Southern Pacific. His inte was merely that of the people of the United States, yet he was inspired by a sense of public duty, and entered with amazing vigor into the fight against the funding Dill and the contest to save the government's interests in the Pacific rail- roads. Huntington, in all his career, never met so keen and masterful an opponent, and the mercil cross-examination to which the Southern Pacific magnate was subjected by Senator Morgan in the com- mittce on Pacific railroads was effective in showing up the fraudulent character of ihe claims made in behalf of the company. Senator Morgan followed up this opening by a vigilant ond energetic defense of the interests of California and of the govern- ment in the dispcsition of the Pacific rail- reads. It is thus a pleasure to know that a pub- lic reception is planned for Senator Mor- gan on his-arrival, and that representative men have it in charge. California should show that she knows how to treat her friends as well a’ her enemes. Remonetizing ‘the Farmers, From the Austin, Tex., Statesman, The clamor for the remonetization of silver did not succeed, but a very good substitute for it has been found, that is ‘he remonetization of the farmer. That Was the avowed object of those desiring to remonetize silver, but it has been accom- plished in a much shorter and more direct way; wheat, corn and cotton have remone- tized the farmers of the country and made them the most independent class of men, —>+e—____ Threshing Out the Mortgages. From the Boston Herald. It is nonsense to tulk about this year's crops relieving the farmers from all their debts. Much of the money obtained will have to be used in meeting current ex- penses and in repairing the outworn agri- culturat implements which are, the result of the last few years of hard times. But no doubt a great many long-standing mort- Sages will be passed through the threshing machines, as it were, this fall. ——_++oe___ Enthusiastic France. Frm the Syracuse Herald, France, that is to say, Paris, is in an ectasy of exul nm over the success of President Maure’s mission to Russia, and the excitable populace is already suggest- ing a life presidency for M. Faure. It is the same Paris as in the olden time, when it shouted itself into a fever of enthus! asm for the raling monarch and next day rushed him to the guillotine with equal en- thusiasm. ———_~++e—____ Little Pills and Great Generals, From the St. Louis Republic.
