President Carnot Asked to Accept Their
designations.

designations.
PARIS, March 31.-After a somewhat
lengthy consultation yesterday afternoon,
the ministers concluded that the vote in the
chamber of deputies to retain the liquor
law amendment bill as part Of the budget
was a sign OF want Of confidence in the
misistry. The ministers then proceeded to
the Elysee and rendered their designations
to President Caruot.
The president had a long interview with
the members of the cabinet and urged
them to reconsider their determination.
His arguments were in vain, however, and
thcmiuistcrs insisted that their designations
must be accepted. 1t is rumored that NJ.
Dcvell, minister of foreign affairs in the
Ribot cabinet, will be asked by President
Caruot TO form a ministry.

A supposedly dead" wire, dangling from a
pole in Baltimore, added one to Baltimore 8
mortuary statistics and caused considerable
uproar. Naturally consequent upon the IN
timely decesse Of an innocent passer-by has
come inquiry-oficial and unofficial-as to
whether there are not many other presumably
dead" wires that may by some slight disar-
rangemsnt Of the aerial network become very
much alive. The inquiry now being made in
baltimore can pertinently and perhaps
proftably be repeated In Washington
Il is commonly understood that tele-
graph and telephone companies save
money By allowing wires not in use to remain
on the poles; it is cheaper to let them alone to
decay than it would be to remove them. And
it is that apparent carelessness which makes the
"dead" wires dangerous. When they are
broken by stormy or other forces they are I'M
noticed because their fracture does not affect
the service in any way, SO they are permitted to
swing around at the pleasure Of every breeze
and may as easily not come in contact with
an electric light wire and either transmit the
killing fluid to the street and the unwary and
unfortunate pedestrian or bring about destruct-
i've confagrstion- Are there any dead wires
in this city? II so, should they not be removed
~ once?

few fools can do more damage in a minute
than many wise msAn can repair in years. There
are in Washington several thousand bicyclists,
twice as many as in any other city in the United
States. But slightly encountered by law, they
wheel with ease over the smoothest Of street sur
faces, and when there is physical effort the re-
suit Is seen in motion too swift for the comfort
and well-being Of those men and women who
walk. The temptation to indulge in speedy
transit is great but the sensible riders will
overcome it and the careless must be made to
realize their responsibility. In no considerable
town are wheelmen better treated than here,
the only things required of them being the
of each wheel with lamp and bell,
but If the recklessness hourly evident on our
main avenues and business streets does not
speedily disappear without police interference
legislation will surely come to stop the needless
and doubly-dangerous career Of boys who now
threaten the lives Of unoffending pedestrians.
And when the law fixes a speed limit for the
foolish il will almost certainly cause the wiser
element more or less discomfort. The popular
sentiment in Washington favors indulgence IN
this healthy sport Of wheeling, but that senti-
ment must surely be reversed if the evil COM
planned of is continued

Snre and hold in suspense for months the mil

novel on which the Honorable Timothy
Campbell was engaged when the presidential
summons so rudely awakened him to renewed

and scorn may be flung, but there is only the
slightest promise of real satire. Some Of the
scenes are laid in the west, but most Of them
have abiding places within the District
OF Columbia, that the novel viii
be locally Of more than passing interest.
We would be slow to offer advice to such a
writer as Mr.. Campbell undoubtedly is, but If
he wants to add life to few pages VIII 'oesn't
be tell the public how the liquor dealers Of q
great city manage to enlist Congressman in be-
half of legislative propositions that disregard
the peoples rights and the peoples voice? And
if he should act upon this mild suggestion why
might he not give us humorous chapter show
ing how 'the best-laid schemes Of mice and
men gang aft agley" and how a license bill that
was amended to meet public sentiment and be
pigeon-holed could be taken up in the absence
OF its author and rushed through the House?
II tn jedge will only accept these pointers we
can promise him large sales and gratifying
profits.
