TWO Tracks in the Squares.

The suggestion that the opposition TO lay
ing two street railway tracks in the center
of the squares on Abercorn street might be
avoided by laying one track on the east and
the other on the west side of the square
does not appear to meet with favor. And
there is no reason why it should, The
proposed scheme is certainly more
Objectionable than the laying of two tracks
through the center of the squares, because
a track on either side, besides being open 10
about all the objections that are urged
against two tracks in the center, would be
particularly annoying to the resi-
dents on the squares. In order
TO get to the sides Of the squares there
would have TO be four reversed curves at
each square, which, with the tracks, would
occupy great deal of room on Aberoorn
street and make 1t difficult for vehicles to
pass around the corners and on the side
streets. And people occupying the corner
| residences would be disturbed by
the passing of cars at the side and in front
Of their residences, and would have a double
dose of noise and dust.
Naturally, of course, the people dislike to
see the squares married by street car tracks
or anything else, but, after ALL will two
electric car tracks, which will eventually
be almost hidden by grass. be more
unsightly than the one horse car
track is3 The presenS track through
the Abercorn street squares is not paved,
and it is long way from being ornamen-
tai If it is made condition that the
railway company shall beautify TO as great
an extent as possible the space in the
squares occupied by It's tracks. it will be
found that the beauty of the squares will
not be injured so much by the two tracks
as they are by the track which now runs
through them.
The matter is one, of course, that requires
the exercise of the very best judgment and
must be dealt with without prejudice. The
aim should be to do what is best for the city,
aud, at the same time, give all encourage
ment that is possible 70 the railway,
which is a legitimate enterprise. 1t
is plain that 1t is TO the interest OF the rail-
way company to have two tracks through the
squares, and it must have them or 20
around the squares. Would not the public
and the residents of the squares prefer the
double TRACES through the squares, particu-
larly If the company was required to hide
the tracks as much as possible with grass,
than to have track on either side Of them9
There is no doubt they would, and, after
the matter is thoroughly understood, the
opposition to a double track through the
squares will disappear,

The Origin ofa Gamblers Express;on

There must be q dead Indian under the
house" How many times that has been said
across the gambling table in Helena! And
yet how few people know the origin Of the ex-
preston! Its meaning was we'll known, how
ever. as nobody was heard to use it unless the
cards were against him. says the Helena Tnde.
pendent
Still, for that, dead Indian, or what was
left OF him after his dust had mingled with the
soil his forefathers owned, lay under one of the
gambling houses of Helena, from the time the
oul.ding was erected until a short time ago
In digging the foundation for the Exchange in
the early days of the town an Indian grave was
found. Rather than disturb the bones the
builder concluded to let them rest there The
house went up, and for years the cards
were shufted and dealt over the last resting
place of the red man. The proprietor of the
house knew he was there, and whenever luck
ran against the game it became the custom of
the dealers to lay the blame on the dead In
dian" By and by people who were playing
against the bank took up the expression, and
when steady run of bad luck followed them
1t was the custom to remark, There must be a
dead Indian under the house." Twice within
the past six months the Exchange has closed its
doors for lack of funds or other suficiept
causes. When the present owner decided to i'm
prove the building he concluded that he would
move the Indian, aud it was done.

About ten days ago he became violent and,

Vice President Morton has not been
doomed as a candidate to succeed himself
for the very simple reason that the repub,
lican leaders do not want him. He i, too
honest to suit their purpose. Last year he
would not violate his conscience and the
rules of the Senate to allow the republicans
TO pass force bill, aud the leaders of his
party have not forgotten it. Harrison is
committed to force bill policy, aud wishes
to have somebody on the ticket with him
who will help to perpetrate that outrage
upon the south-if the republicans win.
And no time is better than the present
to emphasize the fact that if this
third party business is not stopped they will
win. Every southern man who gives
his support to the third party lends personal
aid to the establishment Of republican bay
onets at every southern ballot-box. Then
all hope Of improving the condition of
southern farmers will indeed be gone.

Leganzed suicide in Colorado.

The gallows is the instrument Of capital
punishment used in every state in the union
except New York, which has recently made
radical departure in legal homicide by
adopting the electrical execution chair. But
the details of the galIows are not governed
by law, and each state and county is per-
mitted the widest range of experiment for
the purpose of securing drop that will kill
and kill quick. If the criminal dies on
the end ot rope the letter of the law is
satisfied, whether the rope be drawn over
the limb of tree or rove through a series
OF pulleys and attached to a drop weight.
The old-fashioned drop trap and the some~
what modern drop weight styles of hanging
machines are most in favor, with modifca-
tions to suit the preteutions Of the eommun-
ity In which the execution occurs An in
stance of notifications of a somewhat re-
markable character is noted in Denver.

chine forces the condemned man to commit
involuntary suicide. The man who dies
upon 1t is his own eXecutioner.
Aho OohNer apparatus Is arranged so that
when the condemned man is led out, blind

dropped on his neck. The pail holds about
forty pounds of water, which runs out
through rubber hose in about thirty sec-
onds When the water runs away it re-

about the criminals neck and he is jerked
into the air about six feet. Four trials have
been made with the machine, and it has been
pronounced a success. But it Is obiectiona.

An item is going the rounds Of the press
concerning the dilapidated and decaying
condition Of the tomb of Gen. Francis
Marion on the Belle Isle plantation, Berkeley
county, South Carolina. The tomb of the
famous Swamp Fox is overgrown with
shrubbery, the tablet containing his epitaph
is smashed and general ruin marks the spot.
In sil Of the history OF the revolutionary
war there is not a name more brilliant than
that of Marion, and that his last resting
place should be thus neglected is reproach
to the country he helped to make free.
