EDITOR sTEAD,s CASE.

If the editor of the PdH Nal Gdz6tte
had undertaken to show that London
was filled with miscreants who followed
incendiarism as profession and in
substantiation of his assertion had
hired one of these professional incendi-
aries to go with him some dark night
and set house on fire, and the house
had burned down in consequence, and
the origin of the fire had been proven
in court, there is no doubt in the world
that the editor and his accomplice
would have been transported or suffered
some other ignominious penalty for
their offense. If the defendant had
urged in mitigation of his sentence that
he was actuated in the matter by de
sire TO make good his prior assertions
as to the existence of an organized band
of scoundrels, pursuing arson as trade,
and not by any wilful or mercenary
motive; that he simply designed to eX.
pose q nefarious vocation and place an
unsuspecting public on its guard
against the criminals, and rouse the au-
ihorites to the necessity of greater vi
GLANCE; even if it were admitted that
the fact of the existence of such a
terrible condition of things was con
clusively established by his rash ex-
pertinent, the Court would have stulti-
fed itself by giving consideration to a
plea so preposterous. There was the
Jaw--there was its violation-therc was

WASHINGTON, D. c.. NOV. o, 1885
RuMoRED ADVANCE IN STREET
RAILWAY FARES.

II Is rumorcd that some of the street.
car lines of Washington are cndcavor.
ing to bring about an agreement be-
tween all the companies to do away
with the present system of selling six
tickets for twenty-five cents; in short,
il is an attempt to do away with street.
car tickets altogether and require each
passenger to pay five cents for each
ride
1t is estimated that by this arrange.
ment many thousand dollars per an.
mum will be added to the eXchequcr of
the several companies. This may be
financial stroke of policy ON the part of
the managers and stockholders of our
horse-car lines, and perhaps strict
construction of their several charters
may permit this additional assessment
upon the community who so gener-
ously patronize these modes of convey
ancc.
Our citizens, however, have 50 long
been accustomed to buy car tickets at
the rate of six for twenty-five cents
and find them so convenient in
their daily transit throughout the city
that this proposed advance in rates and
doing away with the use of tickets will
undoubtedly bring out u loud protest
on the part of the people
Especially is it likely to do so in view
of the fact that the market price of the
stock of the roads, at the present rate
of passenger fare, is double aud treble
its original cost This advance is in
consequence Of the large dividends
paid every year, the prosperous con
dition of the several lines and the rs.
sured increase of business resulting
from the rapid and continued growth
Of our city.
The use of car tickets is q great
convenience to the public, aside from
the advantage gained in price by their
purchase. There is no doubt, also,
but what the convenient use of tickets
increases the business of the roads, as
persons possessing them are most al.
ways sure to ride, while without them,
in many instances, they would not.
And finally, these chartered corpora
tions are morally obligated at least tc
consider the rights and interests of tho
people, especially when their chartered
privileges granted by the Government
have produced such great remunerativo
results upon the investments required
10 construct and equip the roads, as is
the case with the street-railway cor
porations of Washington.

THE GREAT DAYS.

Eyermore all the days are long and the cheer.
less skies are gray.
Restlessly wander the battling winds that
scatter the binding spray,
And the drifting currents come and go like
serpents across my way.
YEARLY fades the evening dim, drcarlly wears
the night
The ghostly msts, and the hurrying clouds,
and the breakers crests of white
Have hlOtted the stars from the desolate skies
have curtaned them from my sight
Speeding alone, my wave-tossed bark en-
counters no passing sail;
welcoming friend nor challenging foe am
swers my eager hail
only the sobbing, unQuiet waves and the
winds unCeaslng wall
Hopefully still my sails are bent my pilot Is
faultlessly true;
He holds my course as though the seas and
the miTored skies were blue.
And the port Of peace where the winds are
still, were eyermure in view.
For over the spray, and the rain, and the
clouds shines the eternal sun,
The unchanging stars In the curtained dome
still CLEAN when the day Is done
And the mists will be kissed from the laugh
ing skies when the port Of rest Is won.

4 Question of Authorship.

EDITOR Critic VIII you be kind enough
to decide a wager for us. A party of ladies
and gentlemen at our boarding-house have
got INTO an excited discussion over the
mysterious authorship of those discursive
and able breakfas,-table letters to the Prcsi-
dent that are being published in the
National Republican, and which are said to
have decided the election in Virginia and
New York. There were several opinions
expressed, aud finally ballot was taken.
1t took twenty-five cents to come into the
pool, the pot to be given TO whoever
guessed correctly. The result of the ballot
was as follows: Belva A. Lockwood, 2;
William Malone, /; Augustus Caesar Buell.,
/; Rutherford b. Hayes, /; j. IL. X. Wilcox,
/; /. q. Washington, 1; the author of
