This condition of our principal thorough

Something certainly ought to be

Farnam In proper condition. They
should be of uniform width, on the same
level, and of durable material. We can
point out fifty different places where new
walks should be put down, other places
where they should be widened to the
curb line, and still other places where
they should be lowered or raised. II
property owners can afford to pay fol-
street paving, they can afford to pay fol-

persons to improve their walks whil'

Mr.. GARLAND wants Zacharlah Mont

The qualifications of Montgomery are,
according to the Herald, frat, that he

that he was a blatant secessionist In Cal

that he has poured contempt In his writ

IT certainly is amusing to see one "of-

make room for another. Why Isn't an
"~offsnsive democrat" as bad as an 'of-

an Offensive partisan" it Is the new
postmaster at Hszelhurst, Mississippi.
His name Is Meade, and he
was the chairman of the democratic
club In Copiah county that ordered
Mathews to leave Hazelhurst and threat
ened him with death il he remained.
After the shooting of Mathews, when he
attempted to vote, the club passed reso.
~latloes approving of the killing and Mr..
Meade was the presiding officer Of the
meeting. Instead of being put In the

Col. Villas, who was q brave soldier, and
who fought for free speech, free press,
free men, and o free ballot, could
possibly be induced to appoint such
a man as Meade to q federal position Of
honor and trust. President Cleveland
rejected the brother of Senator Black
burn, of Kentucky, simply on account of
an old letter, In which he expressed
wholesale murderous sentiments, but Col.
Villas accepted a man who is accessory to
o cold FLOODED murder. 1t Is no wonder
that even some of the democrats are dis

ELECTRICITY AN EOONOMIzER
Money Saved on the Electric Railway
Motors to be Placed on other Lines.

Motors to be Placed on other Lines.
From the Baltimore american.
The Hampden Electric Railway is sol
idly and permanently established. The
motors have been running on regular
schedule time for two weeks. There are
only two motors running now, but two
more ofRreater capacity will soon be
placed on the track. The motors now
running make excellent time, and the
travel on the railway from Huntington
avenue to Hampden has greatly increas-
ed. All the minor difficulties that caused
the irregular running of the motors have
been overcome, and now the railway is
soildiy and permanently established. It
has been found that running the Hamp-
den cars by electricity is far cheaper than
running them with horses or mules, and
at the same time gives more work. 1t
takes two men 20 run a car with electric
ity-a conductor and an engineer. A large
gong rs fixed in the motor, which is con-
tlHuahy rang as the motor moves along.
This will ia time be dispensed with and
bells wall be rung in the motors by cleo
nieity. The brakes Will also be controll-
ed by electricity. 1t has been found that
the motors can run better in cold weather
than In warm, and that ice and snow can
not remain near the centre rail when
charged with electricity. This was tested
some time ago by some persons placing
email vessel OF water on the centre rail
when charged with electricity, and In a
few minutes the water began to boil. 1t
is evident that the centre rail has been 80
protected as not TO be capable of injuring
anybody, u14less some person, through
gross caFelessness in foOling with the
rail, gets one foot in a damp place and
the other on the rail, in which position he
is liable to be violently shocked, If not
killed. 1t has been observed by those who
see the railway daily that the dog shuns
the centre rail with care. Since the trag-
ic death some weeks ago of a straying dog
by the motor canine has not been seen
near the track. The crossings along the
railway have been so fixed as to make il
impossible for aehorse or COW to touch the
centre rail.
Now that the electric railway is firmly
fixed on the Hampden division OF the
Union Line, which is probably the most
difficult in the State to run cars either by
horsepower or electricity, 1t is said that
the York Road Railway Company is serl-
ously considering the praeticability Of
running cars by electricity on the York
road, from the city to Towson. There is
also some talk OF running the Gainesville
cars by electricity.

Some OF then have made large sums OF
money IN this trade. Peter Barker, one
OF TIE richest men in Washington, and
who lives in one of the finest houses on La
fayette square, is an old missionary. He
made all OF his fortune diminishing
among the heather.
Stefnberger moderated the power OF the
samoan islands, and instead of working
with them worked to overthrow them.
Ihey foun1&him very dangerous man,
amt resolved to break him up before he
shout IL gain strength enough to destroy
them. The missionaries combined with
the English authorities and gave the lat
ter TO understand that Steinberger was q
dangerous man; that he was seeking to es-
tablish the authority ofthe United States in
the Samoan islands, and that If the En-
gilsh udld not act promptly they would
lose chance to control one of the most
important stations in the South Pacific
Steihberger at this time had Just begun
70 accumulate some property. He had
mvest q what capital he had brought
with him from California in property on
re island. he was suddenly arrested
one day by the English authorities and
carried on board one of their ships
without any opportunity to save dollar
OF his fortune or stick of his property.
de was carried to Australia and was
work as day laborer to earn enough
money to take care OF himself and to pro-
cure passage home. He landed in Paris
about six months afterwards without
cent. He hunted up few friends there
and w eeHr F9led to borrow passage money
to Ne YORK.
He ha, b|9r there since the close of
Grants ad sanistration IN 1877. He first
asked to have his claim presented by
wrykn ha 3
State under Hayes. Steinberger claimed
that he wan an American citizen, and
that he was robbed and wickedly treated
by the English authorities. and that this
government should back him up in re-
claiming heavy damages. His claim has
been the subject of some correspondence.
1t has been held that Mr.. Stein
berger lost all the advantage of being an
American citizen when he accepted
office under foreign government, and
that his remedy is against the Samoan
government instead of the English on
account Of its failure to protect him.
Steinberger ingenuously sets up that he
was really in the service of this govern
ment, and that although he accepted
nominal service under the Sa-
moan government, it was in ac-
cordance with his instructions and
for the purpose of further push
ing the interests Of this country. There
is no doubt whatever that Steinberger had
some sort of rowing commission from
Hamilton Fish, and that the latter treated
him badly when he saw that caring for
him might involve him in some diplomatic
difficulty Mr.. Fish was one of the most
nerveless and timid of men, and was one Of
the very worst Secretaries of State for the
carrying out OF the foreign policy desired
by Gen. Grant.
