G nm W. Marsh, who was president of the Keystone National Bank when that In- stitu ysed in ISvL and who was char; ne time with causing its fa ure, returned sudd ly and unexpectedly to rday after wandering or Seven years and a half. Marsh fled, according to his own accour h less than $1,400 in ht: pocket, his own money which he from debtors, and with it he managed to live a long time and travel @ great distance. But when it Was gone he was obliged to earn his living by the hardest kind of toil. For all these years Marsh has been a fugitive, moving Stealthily from place to place as suspicion began to rest upon him, never daring to take up his residence anywhere very long, and constantly fearful that he was being followed and spted upon. ‘His bondsman, who had lost $2,000 when Marsh-disap- peared, Is said to have spent as much more in trying to find him. His agents were everywhere om the alert and consuls and o * ~-~resentatives in every corner collected oi the earth were warned of Marsh's crime and disappearance. 2 This experience of a hunted man Is strik- ingly illustrative of the way in which the world has grown relatively smaller during the past fifty years. Marsh has evidently had no peace of mind since he went to Brazil in 1891. At Cape Town he was scared away by a paragraph in a news- paper which showed that his identity hal been suspected. Wherever he might wan- der he ran grave risks of detection. Per- haps his own remorse haunted him. But by hook or by crook he kept out of the reach of the men who were chasing him hy train and by boat, following him liter- ally to the ends of the earth. At last, the other day, he read an account of a speech delivered by John Wanamaker, in Philadel- phia, in which Marsh's crime was men- tioned and the speaker welcomed the return of the missing bank wrecker and a full in- vestigation of the collapse, with which Wanamaker's name has been freely asso- ciated. He promised Marsh his help if he would return and tell all he knew. This word reached the fugitive in the state of Washington, and he decided ‘o return, welcoming the peace of the prison in preference to the harassing unceviainiy of continued flight. His trial may not re: veal much that is not already known, but it will permit the closing of one of the most sensational financial ctimes of this end of the century. The fact that Marsh managed to elude” pursuit for all these years is a striking tribute to his shrewdness and his determined energy. See Suburban Grade Crossings. The coroner's jury sitting in the case cf the women killed by a train at Langdon Wednesday night rendered a verdict which means that as far as the initiative of this body 1s concerned no one will be heid re- pensible or the tragedy. The jury's de- jon was that “there was no evidence to show thit the legal requirements of the read were not complied with.” If this be the case it is reasonable for the citizens to demand that there be more legal require- ments, h as will prevent, if enforced, + repetition of this slaughter. The case with these suburban grade crossings is somewhat peculiar. At only two places outside of the city boundary are there legal cressings over the Baitimore and Ohio main line tracks within the Dis- trict. Th are at Ivy City and at Lang- don. The Langdon crossing is over @ bridge. It was not at this crossing, which is used comparatively little, that the tragedy oc- curred. The other is at Ivy City, at grade. At every other one of the numerous sub- urban settlements along this line the roads are unguarded for the reason that th have not beer condemned across the rail- way’s right of Somewhat the same conditions exist on the other branch of the road, and in Eck- ington, practically a city district, the S aie ureendemned and the railway cempany is at liberty to use its discretion in the erection of gates. At one of these crossings it has elected to provide such a barrier. This gratulty was the result of an curnest agitation of the question a year or so ago growing out of the Deanewood hor- ror, which was quickly followed by other accidents at grade crossings in and near the city. Wednesday's tragedy shows that there are not enough condemned roads across ihe rallway line, not enough means of protec- tion. The Commissioners are embarrassed in their dealirgs with the corporation but they may perkaps cure the evil by seeking ar early opportunity to secure the passage of a law which will enable them to desig- nate addi ional crossings where it is illegal for railroad treins to pass without the use of barriers. It is obviously unjust that the people of these suburbs should be shut off from safe passage across the tracks of the main line of the Baltimore and Ohio from Langdon north to the District line and be- tween Langcon and Ivy City. These sec- tions are rapidly growing and becoming citified. It is of course unfair to the rail- road company to expect it to erect a gale whenever a citizen seeks to make a road across the tr: at will. But the matier would be well regulated if the control of these crossings were placed in the hands of seme competent central authority. wilt come when {t will be un- any railroad line to cross a street or a country road at grade anywhere within the limits of the District. Pending the arrivil of this time city conditions of protection at grade crossings must inevita- bly be extended to the outer boundaries of the local jurisdiction, and these tr: will hast>1 the day of accomplis Meanwhile it may be well for the Commis- sioners, .f they have no direct legal remedy for the evil, to seek to persuade the rail- rcad companies in the name of humanity and equity to provide gates and fences at every suburban station. The legal require- ments concerning protection at the grade crossings within the city limits are so se- vere when rigidly applied to some of the less used streets that the Commissioners, having the power to enforce these require- ments without exception or moderation in respect to the urban crossings, are armed with the means of negotiating to advantage with the rafiroads concerning safeguards at those suburban crossings to which their Jurisdiction and authority do not so fully and clearly extend. soe Senator Mason has distinguished himself as a songster, but not sufficiently to en- courage him to attempt to be a soothing Orpheus in the present state of affairs in lilino soe When Aguinaldo hears the news from North Carolina he may be slightly satirical concerning the disinclination to admit in- habitants of the Philippines to citizenship. — It is alleged that Candidate Van Wyck fell asleep at a public meeting in Buffalo. He is scarcely to be blamed, considering the average quality of political oratory. Having been permitted to come forward and make speeches once more, Mr. Hill will probably be careful not to provoke any further penalties. > +2 It is rather hard to confine a man with Col.

A few weeks ago it was announced, to the great delight of the users of gas and electric lights, that the Edison Company of New York proposed to reduce the rates for currents supplied to individual consum- ers to such a point that electric illumina- tion would be practically as cheap as gas. ‘These rates were placed in operation Oc- tober 1. Now comes word that the United Electric Company, also of New York, and, though a smaller concern, a rival of the Edison company, has reduced its rates to meet the cut of the Edison, and thus now practically the entire electric lighting field is covered by the new schedule. It is fur- ther proposed by the Edison company, it is announced, to make an additlonal re- duction, to go below the cut of the United. ‘This looks very like a rate war which can not but profit the consumer if it results in a permanently lower rate. This outcome is probable. It is likely, too, that the lower- ing of the electric light rates will cause the gas companies to reduce their scale of prices, for it is asserted that the new processes of generating the electric current permit so cheap a production that a strictly even competition with gas can be maintained. It is notorious that the pres- ent gas rates permit a large profit, and so the gas companies have a margin for meet- ing the competitive raids of the electricity producers. It is probable that after a time the rival electric companies will agree upon a scale of prices among themselves, and that henceforth the real competition will be between the two rival ilfuminants. England feels quite equal to the enter- prise of engaging in war in spite of the fact that Mr. Hooley has been ccmpelled to quit throwing money about. > +42 For the next few days no party nor can- didate will be able to monopolize over- whelming majority claims. ——__ + «= —__ SHOOTING STARS. A Champion. “That young foreigner wears only one glass when he feels the need of spec- tacles.”” commented Mr. Cumrox. “Yes.” arswered his wife, with an air of superiority; “but I hope you won't do him the injustice to suppose it is from motives of economy.* How It Happened. “What's the reason of your enmity to that politician?” asked the rather romantic young woman. “Did he cross your path | early in your career?” “No.” answered Sexator Sorghum. “He cidn't cross my path. We were after the same office, and he ran over me from be- bind.” Unpoetic. “I hail the moon's pale light,”’ quoth he; * “And always will [ treasure it. No company can ever be Equipped to sell and measure it.” No Gentleman. “Did I understand you to say that dress you admired so much today was a dream?” inquired Mr. Smokehart. Yes.” answered his wife, hopefully. Well.” he proceeded very kindly, “yot Keep your mird on it when you go ta sleep tonight. and maybe you will dream one of your own.” Disinterestednens. “It's wonderful,” said the eredulous man, mply marvelous!” Have you been to see that fortune-telier again?” “Yes, “Don’t you think most of those people are animated by purely mercenary mo- tives?” “This one isn’t. Just think of his being willing to g» or telling fortunes at a dollar apiece when he could give himself a tip on a horse or a lottery drawing and get everlastingly rich inside of twenty-four hours.” A Depreeation.

If it could be ascertained today that no army would be necessary, or that a small y of troops ut most would be sufficient, afeguard the Philippines, opposition to their annexation would be greatly dimin- hed. It is simply the dread of a large standing army that causes the body of the ple who oppose annexation to withhold their approval. I do not.believe that a large army will be necessary in the Philip- pines; and I am sure that, imitating the policy of England in East India, native troops would serve all purposes. We have the right as conquerors to hold the Philippines. We have the right to h them as part payment of a war indemnity. This policy may be characterized as unjul to Spain; but it is the result of the fortun. of war. All nations recognize that the queror may dictate the terms of ped first answer I received to a telegram sent by me, asking on the part of China that peace negotiations should be commenced, nd offering to concede the independence of Corea and to pay a reasonable war indem- nity, was: “Japan is willing to enter on peace negotiations; but she will dictate the term: 1 am in favor of holding the Philip; because I cannot conceive of any alt live to our doing so, except the seizure of territory in China; and I prefer to hold them rather than to oppress further the help! government and people of China. I want China to preserve her autonomy, to become great and prosperous; and I want these results not for the interests of China, but for our interests. I am not the agent or attorney of China; and, as an American, I do not look to the promotion of China's interests, or Spain's, or any other country's —but simply of our own. Col. Roosevelt's Campaign. From Gunton’s Magazine for November. The state election in New York this year, like the municipal election in N York city last year, is a matter of intense inter- throughout the nation. ~The reason for this is that this year as last the contest in- volves, as in aimost no other state, the principle of clean, honest and progressive government, as distinguished from mere hackneyed political rule. It is pre-eminent- y, this time, a contest between the best progressive clement of the state and the ignorant, debauched and flagrantly defiant methods of Tammany Hall, which has long been a stench in the political nostrils of the entire nation, a discredit to free govern- ment and a scandal to the metropolis of the republic. If Mr. Roosevelt is elected, as we hope and belleve he will be, the suc- cess will be a double triumph, a triumph over Tammany Hall, and also a triumph over the hackneyed ‘and least progressive managers of the republican party itself. —— «= South Takes No Stock in It. From the Richmond Times. When Mr. Royall was addressing the Sons of Veterans last Monday night, after describing the rations that confederate soldiers got in 1868, he said how contempti- ble in the soldiers of the present day to be complaining of their rations, when the confederate soldiers could fight such a bat- tle as Chancellorsville on such rations as were served out to them, and the whole audience broke out with the most vocifer- ous applause. That incident told, in the plalnest terms, that the people of the south, certainly, take very little stock in the clamor about the poor soldier having been neglected. When soldiers go to war they expect to have a hard time, and when they are as well provided for as the soldiers of the United States are, it is not an easy matter to get up very much sympathy over them on that account. ———+0e British View of Penny Postage. From the London Chrontele. When imperial penny postage was adopted we suggested that the scheme was not com- plete without the United States. We wel- come therefore the report that, as the Man- chester Guardian learns, the Ameri Postmaster Genera! will recommend the tablishmeit of penny postage between Great Britain and the United States. Apart from the teetinony which this step would be to the geod feeling between the two ccuntries, it will commend itself to every one as a sensible arrangement. At present penny postage exists between the United States. and Canada. A letter goes from Fiorida to Klondike for 2 cents. Before long Americans may send a letter for 2 cents across the continent and the Pacific to Manila. We, on the other hand, shall be sending letters for a penny to the Antipo- des. Nothing could be more reasonable and rational then than that penny postage should exist between the two countries which have more correspondence with each conee than any other two countries in the world. ——_~+-+—___ Peor Cuba!.
