The Atkinson bill is not merely a harmless
freight measure, not affecting materially the
questions Of the removal of grade crossings
and the occupation OF the mall. l. ~legaliZes
and p~erpetuates surface tracks at points where
the removal OF these tracks and of the accom-
panying grade crossings is sought. 1t author
ICES the multiplication OF such tracks at these
points in the future. and the indefinite increase
of the persons to whose interest it will be to
retain these tracks on the surface.
By confirming the Illegal occupation of half a
dozen mall reservations without compensa-
ton IT establishes a principle which would rem
der hopeless any attempt to shake It's legal
though theoretically temporary occupation OF
the mall. 1t gives away for nothing to the rail-
road the concessions which ought to be the
price of public relief from some of the evils of
grade crossings and the surface occu-
patton of the mall. and thus denies
this relief. Ii Is reported as a settlement
OF the railroad problem in preference TO
measures which include with the enlargement
OF the freight facilities treatment of the uues-
ton of grade crossings aud tine occupation of
reservations. Endorsement of IT is a refusal of
them. and a perpetuatiOn of the conditions
which they seek to change. The Commits
sioners base their upon the bill on
the express assumption that under it the rail-
road Is to be permitted TO remain as now located.
that is with surface tracks, and numerous
grade crossings. occupying the mall and other
reservations as well as certain streets. The bill
carries with it that assumption and that con-
clusion. and if it we're adopted the railroad
would be quick to give that construction and
effect 10 il.

Sergeant Dunn Of the meteorological serv-
ice-a prophet not without honor save in New
Orleans and the lower Mississippi ~region-has
discovered. or thinks he has. that the climatic
changes noted during the last two years are
permanent notifications Of our climate. He
attributes them to irrigation in the far west.
The result has been the passage farther north
than formerly OF the great winter storms. and
this has drawn the warm air from the tropics
much farther north than has heretofore been
the case. A writer who has examined his
theory says in the Philadelphia Press that it is
partially accepted by the students at Washing
ton. and adds: Our winters are likely to be
similar to those Of semi-tropic regions, damp
and Of moderate temperature, and the day of
cold waves and great SHOWS has passed" We
shall see, sergeant. what We shall see.

The Washington STAR. commenting on the
suggestion OF an eX-cOufederate in the Sun that
a monument 70 Gen. Grant should be erected
IN this city. expresses the opinion that the fed
ersl capital would be a better location. We
can see no objection 10 several monuments to
Gen- Grant II the money can be obtained TO
build them. but Washington is undoubtedly the
proper place for "a national memorial to the ex-
President and former colnmander-in-chlef of
the Union armies. He ought. indeed, 10 be
buried there. with an imposing monument over
him. instead of lying IN a remote and lonely
spot on tse outskirts OF the bOastful but mig
gardiy city which. as vet, has failed to furnish
the money to provide him with a fitting tomb"
-BdftB,Ofe sun.
The SIN thus admits the force Of The SrAR,s
suggestion while seeking to give it a still
Broader application. As our neighbor saws.
Washington Is undoubtedly the proper place
for a national memorial to Gen. Grant, and an
imposing monument should be erected over
his remains, transferred with Mrs. Grants per.
mission to a city where everybody will be in
teressed in doing honor to his memory.

The Boys Go Armed.

IL is but short time ago that a pro-
fessor in one Of the leading colleges of San
Francisco slapped the face of a rich bank
er who had published long and bitter
attack upon his (the professor's) venera-
Bile father, divine of great eminence
and fame. The professor was at once
shot down, although he was entirely un-
armed, and had informed his adversary
of the fact. Yet the jury declared that
it was case Of justifiable homicide, and
the accused left the court without stain
on his character.
Even the children, aping their elders,
carry pistols and knives with the utmost
nonchalance, and few weeks ago, when
the principal of one of the public schools
had occasion to administer some much
needed corporal punishment to lad of
12, the young rascal drew q huge re-
volver on the head master, and the serv-
ices of the chief of police had to be called
in for the purpose of disarming him.
At the request of the terrified princi-
pal the police subjected all the pupils
present to apersonal search and examina-
tion, with the result that thirty-five re-
volvers Of all sizes, from the "Colt navy
revolver" to the ''22 caliber popgun," be-
sides dozen knives of murderous ap-
pearance, were seized and confiscated.-

Married His Nurse,

A marriage rare in the history of ma
tions was recently celebrated in the
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Trinity church,,
Berlin. A young Russian of a wealthy
and respectable family in the Baltic
provinces named Geiger married his
nurse. The bride was II at the time she
nursed her future husband, who is now
90 years of age. 1t appears that the
friends of the latter are not exactly
pleased at his choice, but the young man
declared that his affection for the pres
ent partner of his joys and sorrows dates
long way back. Finding it impossible
toovercome the prejudices of his family
and being under age he fled to Ger
many, where the civil and religious
forms of the marriage celebration were
duly observed without let or hindrance.

Street Car Manners in France.

The hog claims even the historically
polite France for his own At discus
sion by the town council of Havre upon
the regulations for city car lines one
member complained that in these days
men sitting in car never thought of
giving their places TO women, even
though the latter might have to stand
outside on the platforms in the rain. He
moved the adoption of bylaw empow-
ering conductors to compel men seated
in the interior to surrender their places
to women outside. Several other coun-
cillors gallantly supported the motion,
but the majority concluded that the
temper of the age would not permit any
such social revolution. The episode has
excited considerable attention in Paris,
where there is general mourning over ths
decadence of French manners. - Elk

Captured sword to BE returned.

Col. Samuel A. Moore, of New Britain,
to whom the Confederate officer Col.
John Fite surrendered his sword at the
battle of Gettysburg, wishes now to re-
turn the sword to its former owner as
a token Of good will and brotherhood.
He has authorized Mr.. J. w. Papsen,
''his drummer boy (as the colonel calls
him), to ascertain if such an ex-officer of
q Tennessee regiment is still living and
can be communicated with. Mr.. Par
son has written a letter of inquiry to
The Nashville American, asking them
to publish it, and to request the same of
other Tennessee papers. The Nashville
American, commenting upon Mr.. Par
sons letter, says: "Neither Judge Fite
nor his friends have any doubt that he
is the person sought in the letter and
will write Col. Moore" This is certainly
an exceedingly graceful act on the part
of Col. Moore, and is worthy of the high
est commendation. Courant.
