Erie Track Elevation.

The question is not whether the
Erie Railroad can afford it or not.
The question is, shall people con-
tinue to be slaughtered by the dozen
on the grade crossings of that corpor-
alton in this city.
There can be only one answer. Let
the railroad 'go broke" If it must,
but the tracks must go up.
Mr.. CORTLAND Parker's paper pre-
sented to the Street and Water Board
yesterday was a queer tissue of evas-
ions and inconsistencies. In one
breath, he told US very few people
were killed; in another ne said the
reason so many were killed, was that
they were careless. Perhaps the most
ludicrous of his statements was that
many of the victims were me rely en-
ployes of the road.
Mr.. Parker. was simply amusing in
his remarks about the effect of the
proposed elevation upon property
values. The company hesitated to
put its road on stills for fear it might
be detrimental to property. He
says
Suppose the elevation is carried out Suppose
there be constructed on the Sc or 100 feet width
10 which this railroad is entitled, a huge bank OF
earth, impossible except at these streets. smut
ting out the view except from the second stories
of houses on either side, making a huge wall
dividing one portion OF the city from the otner-
Do reasonable men think that this would i'm
prove the price OF property neighborlng 10 the
sides Of this great bank.
Now really this is a trife thin. adj
dressed to the citizens of a city in
which such a viaduct exists as that
of the Pennsylvania Railroad. If any
property should bedepreciated by the
embankment, it would be merely that
abutting Immediately upon it; the
obvious improvement is to about a
mile square of territory lying north of
the Erie tracks. which has practically
no future until the elevation is con-
summated.
Mr.. Parker must have thought he
was talking to children. His pathetic
dlluSlOn w bAo CdE1taA sunni Al oA0
road was simply an insult to the pub
lie intelligence. Every one knows OF
the millions of water that are repre-
sented in its nominal capitalization,
and every one knows that If the road
were constructed at anything like a
fair cost, the money nominally in
vested in it would not only elevate the
road in every city that it passes
through, but would gid the metal
posts it rested on to boot.
We would suggest that the fee paid
Mr.. Parker for devising platitudes
and fallacies would defray the inter
est charges on a good part of the
money needed to elevate, and the an
nual expenditure on fighting the
claims of victims for d amages would
go a good way further.
We hope the Street and Water
Board aud the citizens will not let the
matter drop.

Love Making in the Parks.


An idiotic person whom the people
have made Secretary of the Park
Board of Baltimore has had spasms
of indignant modesty over the prac-
tiee on the part OF young people Of
billing and cooling in the parks of that
city. AS a consequences, one of those
damnable outrages which are a re-
proach to our civilization, intelligence
and liberty was yesterday inflicted
upon a young man and a young wom-
an. We find this despatch in all the
morning papers,
BALTIMORE. May 22-The park policemen have
gone to work promptly to enforce the dest inc
ton drawn by General Berry, secretary OF the
park board, between decorous and indeco rous
counting. The first victims were Charles Mar
shall aud Miss Jennie Fleming. who were cap
tn red by Cflcers Bell and Smith in Patterson
P ARK yesterday evening, and held fer a bearing.
Justice MaIoney, assessed Marshall $50 and
co sts, while Miss Fleming was required to pay
S. for spooning in public.
It might be thought, perhaps, that
this young couple were behaving in
some shameless or improper way. Not
at all. They simply infringed the
fool officials notions of propriety. In
an interview published yesterday. he
sapiently drew the line thus:-A man
and a woman may sit on a bench and
chat without improperly; but he may
not put his arm around her waist, nor
must she rest her head ..on his shouL-
der.
Now. the man who said this is the
monumental prig, the climactic dom
key of the century. A man may put
his arm about the waist of a woman
upon many occasions with great rec
titude of purpose and purity OF
spirit, and a woman may lay her
head on a mans shoulder with abso-
Lutte innocence of soul. The woman
may be mother, daughter. sister, wife,
orssweeti1eart, it matters not, the atti-
udes described are not essentially,
intrinsieally, or even eonstructlvely
irnmodest, immoral, Illegal or in any
way improper. They may be as
suIned in grief as well as in joy. and

The t-Magistrate of Agra, an Indian

eminent promtssory notes OF the aggre-
gate value of rupees 10, 900. These were
all kept in a steel box, to which a5 night
was attached a dog BY achain about three

Strange as it may appear, some thieves
entered the tent the other night and
walked clean out with the box without
disturbing the Magistrate or his wife,
who were sleeping almost within two
feet OF the place where the box was
placed. There is vet NC trace of the per-
petrators of the crime Indidn Mirror.
