law of our being, and illustrated nv point
by the fact that Judge Baldwin charges
S25 for professional Job that takes bat q
few hours, while he pays the laborlng man
who sets his CRATES less than 25 cents an
hour. In this Judge Baldwin wrongs no
man and violates no law, human or divine,
and any attempt to array one class against
another for such transaction Is unworthy
SO eminent jurist and upright man; and it
painfully indicates an alarmingly abnormal
condition of morals or politics. The hypo-

right in the end. It is hard to
get away from early impressions
and convictions. The Judges earlier
and better days were spent in the school OF
political economy that recognizes the facts
of human life and seeks to elevate the less
fortunate, not to tear down those who, in
obedience to inexorable laws. earn and
save, and therefore possess more than
these. When he says wealth always goes
in partnership with brains he not only
accounts for his own worldly prosperity.
but he states philosophical and economic
truth that is recognized the world over.
and when he says that with education and
organization the poorest in this free conn.,
try of ours may have an equal chance with
the rich, he strikes the right keynote:
Among the children of the very poorest of
the day laborers of to-day may be many g
coming Lincoln or Baldwin. but they, will
come not through tearing down
the rich because they. are rich; but
by availing themselves of the educational
advantages that these Identical rich men
are so lavishly providing. and Judge Bald
win does weI to spend the evening Of a
long and eventful life in telling these less
fortunate ones to look up and step up
through the means of education and organ
ization, keeping before them at all times
that wealth and brains go In partnership"
otherwise men of little brains would be
disappointed in the results of their strug-
giles. In this the learned Judge differs from
some whose closing years have been made
sour by disappointments, and who spend
their evening of life in making the poor
feel that they are opposed by the rich, and
that to tear down is the only way to get on
top. Let ne commend the Judge for assur-
ing them that wealth and brains 60 togeth-
er. and that education and organization are
the great elevators. Judge baldwin is
right this time. U. L. SEE.

Frank N. Milliken, secretary of the Re-

terday that he had received reports of the
recent township elections from all but five
counties. In 1854 and 1886 SO much Demo-

that the Republicans gained thirty-6ve to
forty townships which naturally belong to
the opposition, so that the late township

In speaking of this new enterprise, the
Cleveland Leader of May says: For
some weeks a very active scheme has been
working at Toledo to build another road
from that city to Chicago. through teIri-
tory near the northern line OF Indiana, De-
tween the main and airline OF the Lake

and Angola, that have clamored Tor years
for an east-and-west road. They have been
prise of that kind. This late Toledo prof.

early completion are at this very moment

territory. A counter-move on the latter's
part. therefore, became the only alterna-

these traffic-famished towns. Besides. the
Lake Shore needs q new line between To-

than to double track one of the old lines"
Profting through the Consolidation.
Parties who are interested in the Big
Four and the Chesapeake & Ohio systems
have been recently examining the proper
ties which have been taken into these COM
biLations, and they report that economy
has been assured without o large increase
of fixed charges by the Big Four or the
Chesapeake 81 Ohio railroad companies.
The policy of the present management has
been to pay cash and not imperil the re-
sources of the main lines by large addition
Four system, such as the Ohio. Indiana &
Western and the Cairo & Vincennes, have
increased the bonded debt of the main lines
compared with their earning capacity. but
little. The greatest benefit derived from
the consolidation, however, Is that 1t has
removed lines which were Obliged to cut
rates. more or less, to get business, and the
Big Four Is now enabled to maintain rates
over a large territory. This enables the
Big Four to pay dividends on It's preferred

DISTRICT GOVERNMENT.
EXTENSION OF PENNSYLVANIA AyEyrt

EXTENSION OF PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE
Capt Rossell today forwarded to Col. Robert
plot showing the proposed line of Pennsyl-
vania avenue extended together with the dedi-
cation from the property owners of this line;
also branch avenue extending from Pennsyl-
vania avenue extended to the Bowen road.
This, he says. dedicates the whole line, except
a small portion going through property owned
by Pierce and Green. As they are very small
holders and the amount taken from them is a
very large per centage he recommends that
arrangements be made to condemn this prop
erty and that the Commissioners authorize the
preparation of suitable advertisements for
grading the avenue.
THE DEFECTIVE ABUTMENr OF THE CHAIN pRIDeE
Some time ago The STAR referred to a letter
from Mr.. J. +. Clement the attorney for Alex
andrla county, Va, in which he complained OF
the bad condition Of the western abutment of
the chain bridge that abuts against Alexan-
dria county, Va, and asked that it be repaired.
1t will be remembered that Capt Rosseil rec
commended that the paper be referred to the
attorney for the District for information as to
the liability OF the District for doing the work
in question The attorney today in an in
dorsement upon the papers says that he has
written to the attorney of the county asking
him to state upon what grounds he claimed
that the District is under obligations to repair
the bridge and as no reply has yet been re-
ceived he knows of no grounds upon which it
can be claimed and recommends that it be
denied.
THE PETITION OF THos. W. SMITH AND OTHERS
for the condemnation of an alley in square SY7
has been referred to the attorney for the Dis
trict with the request that he search the rec
ords to see whether or no the signers are the
actual owners of majority of the area in the
square. The petition seems to be in accord
ance with the law
