It would be idle to deny that what Is called tatl-twisting is the favorite employ- ment of certain American politicians when- ever the British lion appears, or can be Gragged, upon the scene. But it ts also a fact that controlling sentiment in the United States grows less and less affected by this every year. An alliance between ee and the United States ts impos- sible, as-the Globe asserts, but not on ac- count = what the Globe considers the fickleness and unreliability of the people this country. We are not in the alliance business. We were early warned against and the value of that warning was ver more thoroughly appreciated than it oday. But, at the same time, we are indifferent to what is going on in the world at large, and our sympathy for all English-speaking people. and good wishes for the growth of their power and spread of their influence by all legitimate means, are hearty and sincere. ——_ + ee Sartorial Statesm: There will be very gener: Senator Hanna’s protest sympathy with against the injec- tion of the Woodruff pink the senatorial atmosphere in a vic: idential capacity.

It is the public expectation that the Com- missioners’ latest order about the stopping of street cars will not abrogate the old rule that requires the cars to be halted before crossing other lines. When the near-side rule was In effect this stop was tn harmony @ general system, but now it 1s at it will be necessary to stop some of the cars frequently on both sides of the street In order to comply both with the rule of safety and the rule of stops.

For instance, take the Columbia line, which fs already being run upon a very quick schedule, closely ap- proaching a constant violation of the speed regulations. Between Gth and 15th streets the cars of this road will be compelled under the new order to make five double Stops at rapid transit crossings, at 5th, 7th, th, 11th and 14th streets, involving a ma- terial loss of time tn the running sched- ules. The question of these double stops ought to be definitely settled before Sunday, when the new rule takes effect. If the car is to be brought to a halt, for instance, at Sth street on the Columbia line befor® crossing the Eckington line tracks? Must it be also stopped on the far side for a pas- senger? Or is the near-side stop for pre- caution’s sake to be considered as suffictent for the purposes of the passengers? the Under old rule the safety stop and the pas- ger stop could be made simultaneously, 3 saying time and preventing Indecision If the far-side stop at crossings is to be avoided for the sake of speed, what be- comes of the uniformity which Is supposed to be the aim of the regulation? In order to avoid delays, inconvenience and perhaps danger this matter should be precisely de- fined at once. ———+ = —___.
