LOOKING 10 TUNNEL SAFETY.

Tho State. Railroad Commissioners are
repairing to take up the burden Of respon-
bbility laid upon them by the enactment
Z the tunnel light and ventilation law.
rhey begin in Albany to-day a two
lays session which is to be given over,
Il is announced, to the cons!dera-
tion of testimony presented by experts,
regarding the utility of different
kinds Of lights for tunnel illumination. At
the close Of the Boards session in the
3tate's capital city time will be appointed
for an open meeting at which the railroad
companies and other interested parties will
have chance to present arguments, claims
and suggestions bearing on the matter.
or course, the Fourth Avenue Turnei, in
this city. furnishes the chief problems be-
fore the Commissioners, and as they desire
TO hear the case discussed from every point
Of visw, the open meeting will be held in
this city, where IL will be convenient to oil
interested parties. At this meeting there
should be the fullest possible presentation
Of facts and ideas, according to arrange
nents so systematic as to lead to the
pmallest possible confusion OF theories and
proven facts.
According to an Albany despatch in an
other column, 1t is again frankly admitted
by the Commissioners that the recent test
Of electric lighting in tho tunnel was
conducted under the Company's auspices,
and this 10 another admission that the ex-

misleading from reasons already shown in
The EVENING WORLD, chief among which
was the act Of turning the refectors to the
lamps the wrong way. Then. again, 1t was

experience and common sense demon
strate that ventilation and illumination
must 20 together to secure the sought-for
conditions Of safety in the tunnel. The
Commission should carefully regard
this fact, for It bears on Mr. RIcKAnp's

Another version of the attack upon the
Czarewitch in Toxic has been furnished by
the French Embassy in that city. From this
account 1t would appear that the Czare-
witch and Prince GEORGE had visited Budd-
hist shrine with their boots on. The Bonze
complained Of this, and one OF the guards,
a policeman of eight years. service, who
rejoloes in the terrific name OF PHUNpA,
made stroke at the Czarewitch with his
sword. Consideration should be had for
religious sentiments, and the Princes would
have acted in more princey fashion had
they removed their boots when tramping
around the shrine. Probably the matter
has been exaggerated, and there was more
smoke than fire.

Faith and Works,

If Abraham was the father of the
faithful, Mr.. E. J. Jones must be his
oldest son, for Notwithstanding the
efforts made by Republicans, Dem
ocrats and Alliance men to destroy
the country lin the eyes of the other
fellows) he has faith enough, in this
part of it at least, to pile up the lum'
Der mountain high in his yard at the
beginning Of spring.
We thought last summer that he
sent out enough lumber to put a
house on every quarter section in the
county, but from his present move
ments it would look as if he hasn't
yet covered half the county.
Notwithstanding the enormous
amount he has already laid in, he is
off again to make still larger purchases
and we may expect to see a greater
rush in his yard this spring than
ever.
