Commissioner Ludlow's Removal.


One of the results of the removal Of Col.
Ludlow, the Engineer Commissioner of the
District Of Columbia, and the appointment
Of Mai. Raymond to succeed him, may be
cessation Of the slanderous charges which
some Of the Republican papers have been
making against the President relative to
street improvements which are being made
in the northwestern part of Washington.
Soon after the President purchased his
summer residence, known as Oak View,
which is about a mile from the city, a great
deal Of the property in the vicinity of it
was bought by spectators. In a short time
it was decided to extend Fourteenth street
and pave the extension. That street, ex-
tended, passes close to the Presidents prop
erty.
With the beginning of this improvement
charges began TO appear in a few of the
Republican papers that the Improvement
was being made at the suggestion of the
President because it would greatly increase
the value of his property. There never was
any evidence tie support this charge.
No doubt the spectators who
bought the property on the
line of Fourteenth street were very glad to
have the Improvement made, but it is safe
to say that they never approached Col Lud-
low in a corrupt way about the matter. His
reputation is such that those who know him
would never have a suspicion that he would
permit himself to do anything in the line of
his duty of which his judgment did not APP
prove.
1t will now be said probably by these same
journals that the President was forced to
remove Col Ludlow in order to prevent an
investigation of the charges that the
Fourteenth street improvement was begun
in the interest Of real estate spectators, Of
whom the President is one. If they say
anything of that kind they will be long
way from the truth.
Col. Ludlow was removed, doubtless, be-
cause of certain peculiarities of temper and
disposition, which are of such character
that it is not al ways pleasant to come into
contact with him, even though business
makes such contact necessary. In the letter
notifying him of his removal the President
gave abundant evidence of his confidence
in his integrity and capacity, and there is
no ground for thinking that the President
did not say just what he thought.
Several years ago Col. Ludlow secured a
leave of absence for considerable period,
and became the engineer in charge of the
Philadelphia water works. He proved him
self to be such a capable man that he
was retained for about three years.
At the end of his engagement, however, he
was not asked to remain, not because there
was doubt about his ability or integrity,
but because he could not get along harmo-
niously with the city authorities. Probably
a similar reason induced the President to
remove him from the position Of Commis-
sioner of the District of Columbia No fair
minded man, however, thinks that the Pres
ident would have the public money OK
pended in improvements because they
would benefit him. He is not that kind of
a man.

Street Car Scenes in Washington.
From, the New York World

Some of the funniest scenes of Washington
life occur in the street cars and the lines of So
ciety run so closely into each other that one
must be very careful Of his language. A re.
mark about noted person there made is sure
to reach his ears, and the colored boy who sits
next to you may he a servant of Justice OF the
supreme Court, and the maid with the pretty
chlld across the way may be employed by a socie-
" lady. Some of the greatest of our men ride in
the street cars, and have had companions such
as Judge Waite. GeD. Sheridan and Tom Reed
have seen Stanley Matthew'S putting Ia nickels

have seen Speaker Carlisle give his seat 10 weak

Editor Morning Neics; In the Boston Globe
of Sunday. Jan %, appeared the first chapter
of series publishing in that paper, entitled
Young Peoples Political History of the United
States, - written, says the Giobe, by that al

Alfred Townsend" and it adds that the series
when complete, will make standard text book
for young students and for teachers" It Is
commendabie IN the Globe to make special Ell.
fort to disseminate among the young people or
New England a knowledge Of the his
tory of their country, the widespread
ignorance of which is deplorable, but l ould
suggest 10 the editor of that paper that, before
this series - put in the form OF "a standard
text book for the New England youth, he elm
mate from it Mr. Townsends statement that 1t
was partly from the influence OF the writings
comprising book called The Federaist' that
the constitutional convention called which
matured the present form of government or the
United States If this statement presents a
criterion of the Globes Historical Series the
eliminating process it should undergo before
being permitted TO assume the ambitious and
authoritative form of a text book" would leave

George Alfred Townsend and the editor OF the
Boston GlObe-and to the young people OF New
England-the information that the papers com
prising he book called the "FederallSt' were
not written till after the present form OF gov
eminent was matured; that instead of their
having partly influenced the calling Of the
convention which framed the constitution, they
followed and were Lch2iy cdHsed by the meet
ing and action Of that convention; that, in
short, the convention "matured the present
form of government" in 1857, and the FEEDER

Not one of her invention.

a Specimen Trust.

Within the last few weeks the attention
of the country has been repeatedly called
70 the immense monopolieS which have been
formed under the name of trusts. One OF
these monopolies is the sugar trust. A de
scripton of its operations gives very fair
idea of the operations Of other trusts.
The sugar trust was formed a few weeks
ago, and its plans are not yet perfected
When they are the consumers of sugar VIII
have occasion to take much deeper inter
est in it than at present 1t includes all
the sugar refneries on the Atlantic coast
except three, and it is TO the inter
est Of these three to let it alone IS long as 1t
does not interfere with them.
What the trust proposes to do is shown in
the following statement: A cargo of sugar
arrived in New York from the East Indies
last Saturday. 1t contained ,, 100 tons.
There was only one bud for it and that was
4l4c per pound. The bid was made by the
trust, which secured it. The last preceding
cargo Of sugar of this kind sold in New
York for sc. per pound on Jan. 6. That
was before the trust was formed. Was
there any reason why this kind of sugar
should have brought three-elghths of cent
per pound less on Jan. rs than it did on Jan.
8! There was none, except that the trust had
the power to fix the price of it, On Jan.
Is graduated sugar brought about &c
per pound, and crashed sugar about
225c. per pound more than on Jan.
6. II appears from this that while the trust
reduced the price of the raw material y
of a cent per pound, it advanced the prices
Of sugars manufactured from it.
WHAT will be the profit of the trust on the
cargo purchased on Saturday over and
above the profit which the sugar rcfneries
have been making 1t gained in the pur-
chase S15, 80, and if the cargo is manufac
tured into granulated sugar it will make in
all, beyond leg innate profit, $40, 125, and
if into crushed sugar, Sll5, 800.
The sugar consumption of the country is
about 5000, 000,0 900 pounds a year, and it is
estimated that if the trust increases the profits
of the refiners above what they were before
it was formed, no more than it did on Sat
uriay's cargo it viii add 70 their net earn
ingS SS2, 500, 600 year, one-eighth of which
will come from the pockets of the produc-
ers and seven-eighths from the pockets of
the consumers. Is it to be wondered at that
Congress has been called on to investigate
these trusts! The entire cost of the rein riss
which compose the trust is only Sl5 1000, 900
and they are capitalized for the purposes of
the trust at only 100000, 900. Many such
trusts would soon make comparatively few
of the people millionaires and the great mass
of them paupers.

ELECTRICITY IN PRIVATE HOUSES
No Dynamos Needed Electricity Fur
nished by the Carload.

From the Elec ricdL Revieu LIS
The ballroom of Mr.. Ogden Mills residence,
Sixty ninth street and Fifth avenue, was lighted
by means of storage batteries on Monday night,
Jan. 16. The occasion was a ball and house
warming, and large assemblage of the leading
members of New York society were present
The ballroom was brilliantly illuminated by
sixty sixteen candle power lamps, the electricity
being supplied from the batteries which had
been charged on the previous Friday at the fac
tory in Newark, carried to Mr.. Mills residence
on Saturday, placed in position in the cellar and
connected with the lamps on Monday and used
from $50 o'clock p. m. until $3.50 O'Clock a M
the following day without single interruption
of any kind. The effect Of the lights was very
beautiful, and many expressions of admiration
were heard on all sides.
Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt ordered sufficient
storage batteries to illuminate his Fifth avenue
mansion on the occasion Of his grand ball, given
on Jan. %.
This is the first instance in which storage bat
teries have beeu used in America to furnish
temporary light for special social occasions, and
its is likely to lead TO large business of
this character in all prominent cities.
