Walker unless it is Foreign Mission.

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.


The Commercial says The Republicans
of the OHIO Legislature seem to have en-.
ioyed much happiness yesterday. The
overwhelming defeat of Hoffman was an
immense relief to their minds. They felt
vindicated and rose up If they had early
in the session passed the half-dozen bills re-
uuired to give the people of Cincinnati
fair play. they would have had better rea-
son to rejoice than that upon which they
iubilate. The acts of justice in behalf of
decency and common honesty have been
drawn from the Legislature as with for
ceps.-It suddenly occurs to the Enquirer
that 81. Hoffman is 10 longer "bright and
audacious," and the writer of
"a fine Italian hand" in sew
eral Legislatures, but that he
is highly improper person and an incubus
upon the Democratic party. Perhaps; but
it has long been accounted ungenerous to
bite and gouge man VINO has been knocked
down.-Let us see this spring whether the
city can not contract for advertising by the
year. Paying transient rates all the year
around is grossly absurd.-The Fire Depart
ment is the last of the organizations for the
public service in which we would intrude
partisanism.-We oppose the third term in
any shape 1t may be presented under what
ever pretense may be invented to cover it.
This we do, not out OF animosity toward
Grant, but because third-termery is unre
publican and must be discounted. We
think it compatible with the greatest kind
ness of feeling toward General Grant tc
oppose another term of the Presidency fol
him with the utmost energy and even bit
terness.

NOTHING MORE FOR WALKER,

People Of advanced age, who have all
their lives been posted in current events
and public characters, need not be told
who DR.. Mary Walker is who of late has
been besieging Congress for pension,
with all the hardihood of q man and all
the pertinacity of a-woman. TO the
next younger generation and to the
school children of the country, who take
an interest in the history of the Middle
Ages or middle-aged history it is neces-
sary to explain. DR.. Mary Walker has
for these many years occupied about the
same position in the social system of the
country as comets or meteors do in the
solar system. DR.. Walker is neither a
fixed star nor planet. 1t ignores the
social laws that govern the sexes, as me-
teors seem to ignore the laws that govern
the revolutions of the heavenly bodies
She rose to public view when the horizon
was lurid with the smoke and fame of
battle. He fixed the attention of
the people of America upon its
duplex gender at time when
there was great trouble in the land of
Washington and Lincoln, and if the at
tractive force of this strange phenome-
non had been equal to her wishesit is not
improbable that the Nation would have
been thoroughly Walkerised. But of late
years the world has taken no interest in
Walker, no more than in Mrs. Bloomer.

romantic way Washington correspond

has lately been refused by the Senate
Committee an increase of pension. By

M. E. w. is described as "a slim, under.
sized, shorthaired, sober-faced woman,
who haunts the corridors of the Capitol
wearing the dress of man." In 1864
she sought at Chattanooga the position
of an Assistant Surgeon, but board OF
medical officers, after examination, re-
ported against granting her request on
the ground that her knowledge of medi.
cine and surgery was very little more

ELEVATED RAILROADS.

The recurrence of accidents on the
New York elevated railways is begin
ming to set the people of that city to
thinking as to whether their multiplicity
is at this moment desirable. When de-
railments occur from any cause, the con-
ditions of these elevated tracks for a
frightful loss of life are so favorable that
it seems rather extraordinary than other
wise that we have not had to chroni-
Gle more than one sickening horror
as the result. AS it is, however,
enough casualties have occurred there
to show thoughtful people that the
chances for safe locomotion on terra
firma are much more favorable, and we
shall be surprised if the old idea of rapid
surface or underground transit in New
York is not shortly revived. In London
the very perfection of safety and speed is
attained by the underground lines, and
New York had for years the subject un-
der contemplation of constructing SIM
liar work. Rival interests and political
wire-puIling, however, succeeded in stav-
ing off action until the experiment of the
elevated road now in existence was begun,
when the facility it offered for uninter-
rupted transit at high speed set all other
Interests and projects for the moment
aside. Nervous people were persuaded
to forget their fears by the seeming safe
ty that attended travel by this method,
and the public was beginning to look
upon the question of rapid transit as
solved for good when casualties attended
with more or less loss of life, that oc-
Cured from time to time, set
timid people rejecting seriously
over the shocking calamities that
have already almost resulted,
and which one of these days will newt
ably come. Railroad accidents from COL
lisions or other causes when they occur
op the ground are bad enough in all con-
science, but when train loaded with hui
man beings is run into or collides with
another or jumps from track elevated
on trestles from twelve to twenty feet up
in the air, the possibilities for something
too sickening to think of are such that a
little less speed on the surface seems
preferable.
The London Underground Railroad is
not by any MEANS as it's name would
seem to imply, altogether burrowing
through dark passages underneath the
streets. 1t does, however, pass through
subsurface tunnels, arched over head
neatly with brick like an immense sewer,
but owing to inequalities of surface level
it emerges constantly into daylight,
which afford both air and ventilation,
and having nnobstructed tracks for its
trains the speed and precision of move
ment of them is the perfection of urban
railroad travelling. Before elevated rail-
road schemes have much further boost
ing in this country we think that the
London underground roads should be
pretty carefully studied and compared
with system Of such questionable ex-
pediency.
