Double Tracks IN the Squares

For years there have been complaints of
the service rendered by the City and
Suburban railway-the company that
controls the street car lines on
Whitaker, Abercorn. Liberty and num-
Der Of other streets, and these complaints
have been par ,icuarly loud and frequent
since the introduction of electric motors on
other street car lines.
Recently the company, Notwithstanding
the fact that its treasury was empty, sue
ceeded in making arrangements for an
electric equipment. In order to give the
public better service it asked and OBJ
tanned the privilege of laying double tracks
through the squal es on Abercorn street. 1t
already has a double track nearly the whole
length OF that street.
The work of laying double tracks through
the squares was nearly completed when the
city council, by the casting vote OF the
mayor, withdrew the privilege, and the
work was necessarily stopped. The reason
for the action of the council was that
double TRACKS would detract from the
beauty of the squares and would be a
source Of danger to the children who make
the squares resorts for pleasure.
Years ago the right TO lay tracks through
the squares was granted, and if laying
tracks through them Injuries them they
were injured then about all they can be by
such means. Only recently the council
permitted a double track to be laid through
Telfair place. 1t is true the tracks through
that square belong TO different lines Of
street railway, but as far as the in-
jury to the square is concerned it is a
matter OF no consequence whether the
double tracks belong to one or to two COM
panies. With such precedent the way is
certainly open for granting double tracks
through the Abercorn street squares.
And as far as danger to children or pedes-
trians is concerned there would be scarcely
more from two tracks than from one And
the squares would be quite as attractive
with double electric car tracks through
them as with one track for horse cars. The
electric car tracks would soon be partly
hidden by grass.
Fair play and the interests Of the city are
| on the side of the City and Suburban com
pany. When the council comes to think
the matter over carefully it will probably
see its way clear to rescind its action stop.

tracks in the squares.

Rumors Of discomfort and an impending
revolution again come from Honolulu. The
revolt is led by man named Wilcox half
native and half Italian, who has enough
military knowledge TO make him danger
Gus. The queens ministry is not popular
with the Hawaiians, and Wilcox has seized
upon this fact to foment discomfort. He
has secured arms and ammunition ty
smuggling them into the island and armed
a number of his followers. Recently their
demonstrations became so alarming that it
was deemed expedient to barricade the
royal palace against possible attack. 1t is
thought that nothing but the
presence of foreign war vessels,
especially those of England and the United
States, in the port of Honolulu. averted
an outbreak. Wilcox is said to be in favor
of establishing republic or annexing the
country to the United States. He attempted
a revolt some four years ago, but was in
gloriously beaten by San Francisco base
ball pitcher, who Curved" small dynamite
bombs against his stronghold, a corner of
the royal palace which be had seized, and
in a short while had ''struck him out"
Whatever may be the outcome Of this
trouble in 'the little kingdom" there can
be no long-continued and disastrous civil
war, as the standing army Of Hawaii con-
sists Of only fifty men.

1t Wasn't Automatic.

At the corner OF Thirty-third street and
Sixth avenue there is q large red letter box,
says the New York Advertiser At $3.50 O'Clock
yesterday evening a gentleman emerged from
Trainor's with sweet smile upon his face and
an unstamped letter in his band
The sweet smile was of the glazed variety,
and the direction on the envelope looked as if a
pair Of common ordinary house flies had rawled
out of an ink well and INDUCED in a series OF
spasms on its surface,
The gentleman marched over to the red letter
box laborious Y produced nickel and dropped
it into the slot. Holding out his rather I'M
steady hand he patiently waited for exactly
three minutes for the expected stamp, but it
didn't materiahze.
Then he dropped in a second nickel. Three
more minutes elapsed.

Then he carefully crumpled up the mssive,
threw it at the head of an adjacent newsboy
and ambled off.

A Story Showing Many Things

During the aRrarian riots, which disturbed
England In 1882. a mob of rick burners aud ma
chine breakers appeared at the old mansion OF
two elderly maiden ladies, says the Youth s
Companion. The walls of the hall were deco
rated with suits OF armor and antique weapons
pixies, halberds, swords and battle axes. The
mob ciamored for the weapons and for drink.
The ladies refused their demands, and when the
mob seemed ready to resort to violence Miss
Bottle, the elder Of the ladies, went up to the
leader, hideous looking man, and said;
"You, too, of all the people in the worldl I'm
not surprised at these poor misguided creatures.
But that such a good-lookinR. intelli gent man
as you should attack two defenseless women
does antonsh me! You are the man should
have looked to for protection. But you are not
the man took you for. Never again will |
trust to good looks!"
There was no standing up against that com.
pliment The man took off his hat and said
"Come old lady, we amt so bad as all that
only give us some beer. We would not harm q
hair of your head
No, know that, retorted Miss Betty. You
can't wear a wig"
The mob roared with laughter and retired
without another word.

The Farmers Not Dealt With Fairly.
1t is evident now that those who were
chiefly instrumental in organizing the farm
ers' alliance have not dealt fairly with the
farmers. The farmers who joined tie ALI
ance were told that it had nothing TO do
with politics, and that those who joined it
would not be called upon to sever their re-
! lations to the political parties to which
they belonged. 1t is evident now, however,
that 1t has been the purpose to make the
alliance play part in politics just as soon
as it was strong enough to make its inau-
ence felt.
The steps By which the alliance has been
led into politics have been gradual 1t was
first induced to adopt political platform
and then the members OF the alliance were
told that il neither of the old parties would
grant their demands they should pursue an
independent political course. In the mean
time, however, the Peoples party was or
ganized to receive them when the time came
TO lead them out of the old parties.
The most of allisncemen who have joined
the Peoples party believe, doubtless, that
they were not Influenced in their action In
the least, out IL they will think a moment
they will see they are mistaken. The alli-
ance was purpossly made a secret organiza-
ton, and then alliancemen were led to read
only such papers as were calculated to bias
their minds against the old parties. In the
secret meetings a few men who were fluent
takers virtually controlled the great ma
jority, and care was taken that these takers
favored independent political action.
AS an illustration of the course that has
been pursued to mislead allianoemen the
third party organs have not published the
letter Of Congressman Moses giving his
tory Of the inside workings OF the St Louis
convention. II the farmers generally should
read that letter very few of them would
feel like acting with the Peoples party .
There are thousands OF them. however, who
will never see it because it has not and will
not be published in the papers they read.
But it is pretty safe to predict that be-
fore the campaign is over allisncemen will
know so much more about the Peoples party
than they do now that the most of those of
them who are democrats will vote the
democratic ticket.

Another unfortunate social" difficulty
has arisen in New York, involving three
prominent southern families, the Wises,
Skinners and Greenes, Of Virginia. John S.
Wise, who ran as the republican candidate
for governor of Virginia several years ago
now resides in New York, where his wife is
something Of a society leader. She has
organized and directs the functions of a
social club. At several of the clubs dances
recently it was noticed that Miss Isabella
Greene, of Richmond, now visiting in New
York, was not present. Inasmuch as Miss
| Greene is known to belong to the same
''set, I" her absence attracted attention, and
Mrs. Wise was requested to invite her
to the next dance; but it was not done.

ii, Mrs. Wise Shrugged her shoulders" and
explained why Miss Greene was not on the
| list. What she said has not been

raise a war cloud when it reached
Miss Greene's ears, as it did shortly. She
at once sent word down to Richmond to her
grandfather, Col. F. W. Skinner an old

of the American legation in Paris during
the days of Louis Philippe, Immediately
he went to her defense, and demanded an
apology from the husband of the offender.
MIR. Wise promisei that his wife should
write a satisfactory letter to the old gentle
man, and with this assurance, backed by
the good advice of friends, the matter was
held in allegiance in the hope that it could
be arranged and finally dropped without
causing scandal. But the letter Mrs.
Wise wrote upset all such calculations. 1t
was supposed to be an apology, but really
made matters worse. AS the matter stood
at last advices the chances were about
even that the gray haired old defender of his
granddaughter would call Wise out after

A republican newspaper is authority for
the statement that in some of the southern
states where the alliance and third party
are making most ado, the republicans have
adopted a waiting policy, to 'see which
way the third party cat will jump, and if
she jumps. TO see il she will jump far
enough aud in the right direction" The
republicans will, whenever they can, assist
In the jumping. II the white farmers will
divide and fight. they will stand of and
watch the fracas aud in case the faction
fighting against the democracy seems likely
to get licked. then the republicans will join
the contest and vote for the third party
ticket. They recognize that third party
victory would be a republican victory, and
are willing to help win it-for a considera-
ton. 1t is needless to mention what the
| consideration demanded is.

The Rhode Island Election.


The election in Rhode Island on Wednes-
day was the most warmly contested one
that has been held in that state In many
years The republicans were victorious by
a small majority the vote for governor be-
ing rs follows: Brown, rep, q, 464; War
dell, dem, 1885; Gilbert, pro-, 1887; and
Burton, Peoples party, 1SS. Browns ma
jority is 229. The legislature is re-
publican, and Senator Aldrich, IN
doubtedly, will be reelected. The democrats
did not have much hope of electiag a
majority Of the legislature for the reason
son that the large towns, which are the
democratic strongholds, have no more rep
resentatives than the small towns, which
are republican. The city Of Providence Is
much the largest city in the state, and the
democrats carried It, but Providence has no
more members Of the legislature than one
Of the small towns. This inequality in rep
resentation the democrats intended to
remedy had they succeeded in getting con
troll of the legislature.
That an extraordinary effort was made to
get out big vote is shown by the fact that
10000 more votes we're cast than in any
previous election. Last year the democrats
polled 22,249 votes, aud the republicans
20 905. In 1890 the democrats polled 20, 54S
votes, and the republicans 1888, and in
1889 the democratic vote was q, 2S9 and the
republican vote l6, $40. But 1t is worthy OF
notice that although in some years, other
than presidential years. the democrats have
polled a larger vote than the republicans,
they have not polled a larger vote than the
republicans in any presidential year since
1854. For instance, In 1888 the vote was as
follows: Democratic, 1885; republican,
2O,60S, and IN 1884, democratic, 9592; re-
publican, Is, 1856.
From the foregoing figures 1t is apparent
that the democrats have gained ground
steadily. In 1884 they we're over 5000 be-
bind the republicans; In 1888 they were over
5000. and in 1892 they were only few more
than 1000 behind. The close vote on
Wednesday justiles them in believing they
can carry the state in November, particularly
date for President. Mr.. Cleveland spoke in
Providence only three days before the cleo
tion and that city gave good democratic
majority. That it did SO is largely due,
doubtless, to Mr.. Cleveland's influence.
The democrats have no reason to be
greatly disappointed at the result Of the
election. They hoped to carry the state,
but were far from confident Of doing so.
The large vote they polled makes them feel
sanguine with regard TO the presidential
contest.

Members OF the New York Yacht Club
are discussing the new deed Of gift" govern
ing that famous trophy OF international
races, the Americas cup, with view of
bringing about a race between English and
American yachts this season. Under what

the cup won by the schooner America in the
international regatta of 1851. was consti-
tuted ian international challenge cup rep
resenting the world in yachting" The
terms under which contests were TO be made
have been twice changed, the last change
being just after the Volunteer-Thistle
match in 1887. To the terms of 1887 the
English yachtsmen objected at once, and the
objection has prevented an international
race since. Now, the New York yachtsmen
desire TO get back to the "old rules and
have some more fun with the Englishmen
who are known to be ready to enter vessel
