Water Mains and Trolley Lines.

The article published in the MORNING
NEWS yesterday relative to the injurious
effect upon the water pipes, of electricity
distributed through the ground from the
rails of the street car lines. should receive
prompt attention from the city authori-
ties. 1t is alleged that there are places
in the city where the electric current is
brought into contact with the large main
from the water works. and if the state
ment of electricians is TO be relied upon.
it will not take long in those places for
the electricity to so weaken the main
that it will not bear the pressure upon it.
This is matter that should not be neg
lected. A little expense incurred now
may save a much greater expense in the
near future. If the electric current is
brought unnecessarily near the water
main it should be removed at once This
should be done simply because it will
lessen the danger 10 the main 1t will
not, Of course, remove it.
This danger TO the water and gas mains
from the electricity Of the street car lines
is by no means an imaginary one. 1t is
actual, and is recognized as very Sc
rous one. In Media, Pa, as published in
the MORNING NEWS yesterday, the water
works company has obtained an iniunc-
tion against company that proposed to
establish au electric street railway in
that town, no such Injunction would
have been granted if the court had not
been satisfied from the testimony Of
electrical engineers that there was great
danger to the water mains from such a
railway
An interesting question that presents
itself is this Are the electric lines re-
sponsible for damages to water mains and
gas pipes caused by electricity from those
lines} If they are, and there is no reason
why they should not be, it is a matter Of

Fifty Years of the z. N. O. A.

On June 6, 1874, George Williams, a
poor young man, founded III London, a
society for the improvement of young
men, and called it the Young Mems
Christian Association. Day before yes
terday in Exeter Hall, London, was
begun the jubilee celebra tion Of the order,
which now has ramifcations throughout
the Christian world. And Sir George
Williams, the founder, recently raised to
knighthood by the queen, presided over
the meeting.
There are about 1000 delegates in at
tendance, including 200 Americans, among
whom are ex-Postmaster General Wanna
maker, Morris K. Jesupa ana Cornelius Van
derbilt Among the notable foreign
delegates present is Prince Oscar of
Sweden, who is an ardent worker for the
association.
The little bedroom in which the order
was founded fifty years ago, in house in
St. PauIs church yard, has been pre-
served, and will be an object of especial
interest to the visiting delegates. The
contrast between the associations first
meeting place, the little bedroom, and the
one in which it will hold the principal
ceremonies of the jubilee meeting West
Minister Abbey, the ecclesiastical center
of Great Britain-will afford the visitors
a striking illustration of the growth of
the movement during the half century of
its life. Statistics of the association
show that the total membership in North
America approximates 100000, divided
among !, 499 associations. These associa-
tions own 631 libraries, containing 476, 500
books, and own property valued in the
aggregate at SIS, 225, 900. About one
fourth of the strength and wealth of the
association as a whole is in North
America.
The power for good of the Young Mems
Christian Association is recognized in
every city and town and by the religious
denominations. It extends the sympathy
and assistance thai are needed by young
men at the turning point in their lives,
and ministers to their spiritual, iutellec.
tual and physical wants. 1t is an iEsti
tuition worthy of all praise and support.

That Hawaiian Resolution.

There is so much insincerity and false
hood in partisan politics that it is not
/ strange that the number of those who
7 have as little as possible to do with prac-
! tical politics is steadily increasing. A
/ day or two ago the Senate adopted reso-
/ LUTON in which it expressed the opinion
| that there should be no interference,
either by the United States or any other
country, with any government the people
/ of Hawaii might set up. The republican
papers and the few democratic papers
that are hostile 10 Mr.. Cleveland at once
! announced that 1.-The policy Of infamy,'
4 as they call Mr.. Cleveland's policy rela-
tive TO Hawaii, had received its death
blow. And what is Mr.. Cleveland's
policy, Is it not exactly that expressed
in the Senate resolution Mr.. Cleveland
has all along said that the Hawaiians
should not be interfered with, either by
this or any other government, but that
they should be permitted to manage their
affairs in accordance with their own
views.
It is true that Mr.. Cleveland proposed
to restore the deposed queen, not forcibly,
but with the consent Of the provisional gov
ernment. He did this not because he cared
particularly whether the people wanted
a monarchy or a republic, but because
he believed our government had done
I iustwhat the Senate now says it ought
not to do. He believed that il had been
instrumental in overthrowing the mon
arehy, and the report of the commissioner
he sent TO Honolulu to inquire into the
matter confirmed him in that belief.
He regarded it as his duty,
and so did every other honest
citizen of this country who shared
| hrs belief. To- 40 what he could to right the
wrong that had been committed by the
aid of our government. He did not pro-
| pose to use force. His aim was to re-
store the queen by peaceable means. And
this is what the opponents of Mr.. Cleve-
land call 1.-The policy of infamy." If Mr..
Cleveland lives to be an old man he will
hear himself praised for that policy by
those who now cannot find words strong
enough to condemn him for it.
The republicans assert that it would be
the wisest thing this country could do to
annex Hawaii. They seem to forget that
less than twenty-five years ago the Sen
ate, when composed almost wholly of re-
publicans, pigeonholed a treaty with
! Denmark, which permitted this country
to annex the island of St. Thomas-an
island of extraordinary value to
us as a coaling station and hay
ing a population far more intelligent
an-infnitely more desirable than that of
! Hawaii. And annexation was refused,
Notwithstanding the fact that the whole
male population of the island voted in
favor of IT, Why do the republicans, who
refused to favor the annexation of St.
Thomas, nov demand the annexation Of
| Hawaii Have they any other reason
than desire to oppose Mr.. Cleveland's
administration regardless of any question
of right that may be iuvolved2
| The Senate resolution, so far from being
a condemnation of MIR. Cleveland's policy
in respect 10 Hawaii, commends it.

a Problem For Wonen.

The domestic servant question is one
that is giving everybody in the south who
has need of servants a vast deal of
trouble. 1t is admitted that the servants,
as a rule, are incompetent, shiftless, often
dirty and dishonest, and nearly always
unreliable. This is pretty hard state
ment to make of any class of people, but
almost anyone who has the management
of domestic servants will say it is true.
How are competent, clean, reliable and
honest servants to be obtained2 That is
question that has not been answered
yet. An effort is being made to answer
it in New Orleans. There a movement
has been started to establish a school for
! servants. II is proposed to condnct it
just as schools for trained nurses are con
Quoted. The plan is to make it self-sus-
taining by doing cooking and washing
and other things under competent in
structors. 1t is thought that such a
school can be made both popular and sue
cessful. The theory of it is all right. 1t
remains toll be seen whether it can be
made to answer in practice.
Life is made burden TO housewives by
the servants they have to depend upon.
| While it is true that in some houses very
little consideration is shown for the hap
piness and comfort of servants, still the
main trouble is with the servants them
selves They are not only intensely ig-
norant Of the duties required of them,
! but they don't want to learn.
A school for servants in every town in
the south could be made blessing In
them young girls and young men could be
trained not only to do well all the duties
required of servants and to have nigh
regard for personal cleanliness, but they
could be given instruction in morals and
manners that would make them more
valuable and acceptable In this city a
/ few thousand dollars could not be in
vested to better advantage than in estab-
! fishing Just such a training school as it is
/ proposed to have in New Orleans. There
would be demand for all the servants
! that could win certificates from the school
showing they possessed good character,
/ and ability to render the services re-
/ CURED of them.

When the campaign in this state for
the gubernatorial nomination Of the Dem
ocratic party began Gen. Evans and Mr..
Atkinson seemed to think it would be pop
ular'to condemn the financial policy Of the
administration, and to assert that the
national democratic platform contained a
declaration IN favor of the free coinage Of
silver at the ratio of 10 to I. and, if we
are not mistaken, they announced that
they were in favor of the free coinage of
silver at that ratio, regardless of the
effect it would have upon the currency.
in Justice to Gen. Evans it must be said
that he did not make this announcement
in the first few speeches he made. He
was inclined TO stand squarely on the
national democratic platform, but some
influence was urging him to give up that
position and come out squarely against
the avowed financial policy of the admin
istration. and our recollection is that he
yielded TO it.
But when one county after another in
dorsed the administration tho Guber-
Material candidates had less to say
against the administration and its fnan-
q
found out that the popular thing to do is
to indorse the administration in
stead of condemning it. We are not
prepared to say that Gen Evans has
done anything more than return to the
position he took in his speech opening his
campaign, but it is charged that MIR.
Atkinson has faced about, ana IS now
as heartily in favor of indorsing the ad-,
ministration as are the people Of any OF
the counties who have adopted resolu-
tions to that effect.
1t is gratifying. of course, to find that
the gubernatorial candidates are in line
with the best democratic sentiment of
the state, and are complimenting the
MORNING News and other papers that
have insisted that the administration has
always been in harmony with the ma
tional democratic platform by admit
ting they have been right all along, but
it is a serious question for the democracy
10 consider whether the candidates are
sincere converts from their recently ex-
pressed views or are favoring the admin
istration simply because they think it is
popular TO do so. We do not pass judg-
ment upon them. We simply call atten-
ton to the changein the tenor of their
speeches, in order that the people may
pass Judgment upon them, and to ask
whether the MORNING News has not
been right from the beginning In saying
that there are half dozen or more men
in Georgia, any one of whom, as governor,
would come much nearer the expecta-
tions and needs of the people than either
