Larceny by a corporation is in no sense
a less serious offense than is larceny by an
individual: frequently it is not so easily
justifiable. for while the individual is often
urged to theft by dire necessity. corporate
stealing is generally the result of mere
stinginess or constituencies power. Yester-
. day the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Com
Idny. through selected agents. endeavored
10 lay tracks where IL had no right to lay
them. and. but for the Interference of the
police. would doubtless have succeeded The
EFFORT of the railroad company was ex-
tremely diSCreditable. Application in due
form had been made for permission to put
down the additional tracks. but the District
Commissioners were in doubt as to whether
they had legal power TO do what was re-
quested of them. and had referred the case
10 the attorney for the District But the
company was either unwilling TO wait or
feared an adverse decision, for 1t proceeded
to lay the tracks anyhow: an inexcusable
enGedyor which merits only unqualified con-
den nation. The law provides a way in
which good citizens may proceed with COM
fort and pTOpriety, and the authorities here

IL From the time of its coming into this
city IL has always been a beneficiary, and
has, consistently. given as little as possible
in return for the valuable gifts bestowed
upon IL by this community. 1t Is nearly
three years since the Baltimore and Ohio
Company promised the Senate Committee
on the District of Columbia that at the
earliest possible moment-which would GER
tainiy be within a few months-pians would
be submitted to Congress for the elevation
OF all Baltimore and Ohio tracks within the

The Star is waiting patiently to hear
from the New York Sun as to the recent
and emphatic declaration of independence
States Marshal for the district of Mime
sofa. When Mr.. Bede's nomination was
before the Senate, the Sun was pleased to
amuse itself by frequent and generally
humorous reference to MIN whose Christian
name it had converted into "Jadam." but
now that Mr.. Bede has done a noteworthy
deed IL ignores him completely and fails
to give him the credit to which he is
clearly entitled. The Sun processes to ad-
nire the active partisan and only rarely
does 1t fail to sing the praises of the prac-
teal politician. yet il permits a great OPP
portunity to pass by Unimproved. That Mr..
Bede is a democratic partisan of the phe-
nomenal sort Is proven conclusively by his
resigning a good Office so that he may
move unfettered into the heat OF the fray.
President Cleveland announced some years
ago his opposition to active participation
In politics by federal office-holders and he
recently called attention to that ancient
ukase of his. Some of the office-holders
took the hint while others did not. Mr..
Bede stands. solitary and alone, the only
ofiice-holder who was bold enough 10 re-
sign his commission that ne might partici-
pate. as democrat, in the campaign. In
times gone by The Sun mas referred sar-
castically to the neither garments of
'Jadam" Bede-the garments of birch-bark
1t is possible that "Jadam' Bede's birch
bark pants may yet be the democratic orr.
famine in the northwest.

Chairman Taubeneck OF the Populist Ma
tionaI Committee Is I'm no wise to the rear
of the chairmen Of the democratic and re-
publican committees in claiming great and
: personally sa tisfactory results as a conse-
qusnCe OF the forthcoming election. Some
OF the remarks made by Chairman Taube-
neck-if he Is correctly quoted-are of the
, wildIy-improbable the incoherent, the hys-
tarical sort-such. for instance, the
prophesy that never again would the cleo
tOral vote of any state west of the Misss-
sippi river be cast for a republican Presi-
Dental csndidate-but one of his utterances
has in 1t an element of probability which
should not be disregarded. II is in the state
nent that the populists expect to hold the
balance Of power in both branches of Con-
gress after March 4, 1885,. That such a con-
dition of affairs may come to pass Is of
cnusse possible and IT is quite within the
bounds of reasonable conjecture to imagine
that in the ordinary course of events the
controlling votes In the Fifty-fourth Con-
gress will be populist votes, but because
Deither the democrats or republicans have
clear ma icrity Of the House IL does not fol-
low that the pOpulists will be powerful
Enough to name the speaker and thus shape
the committees and the legislative PROPOSE
lions that spring therefrom. There is the
possibility that sound. nOn-partisan sense
may develop in whichever of the two old
parties happens to be in the minority. and
That the minority will join hands with the
plurality 10 such an extent as to render I'M
necessary anything like a deal with popu-
biSm. Indications already point to the like
lihOod of mocratic-republican coalition in
base the elections develop anything like a
lie between the two full-grown antagonists.
~ would be most discreditable to either the
republicans or democrats should they, by
partisan obstinacy. give to the populists a
bower not contemplated by the voters of
the country. The United States has, during
the past year or so. suffered much from
many adverse influences. but the damage
wrought thus far-frOm which complete re-
c0very is not likely within two or three
years-will be as nothing compared with
" hat may be looked for should the widest
theorists Of the nineteenth century secure
c, rsressional control. 1t may be argued
that a democratic president would be able
TO Counteract any particularly vicious eff
forts that might possibly be congressionally
successful. but even supposing that the
Executive could be depended upon to balk
such pOpulist legislation as might be sent
him for final action. serious injury would
BE- done us abroad by the fact that the
Iarty Of 'isms was in the saddle. The
time may not be very far distant when
representative Americans in public life will
have to choose between partisanship and
patriotism.

The authoritative announcement by the
amiable and ir 'eiligent Mr.. C. j. Searcy
that the robbc. of the Adams Express
car in Virginia me days ago was &C.
compished by Mr.. Morganfieid and HIM
self, alone and urassisted, causes the OBJ
server of events to pause and seriously
consider a matter which such statement
brings prominently forward. 1t will be re-
membered that the express messenger the
engineer and fireman. and all the pas
sengers agreed that there were eight men,
neither more nor less. in the gang that
held up the train. The fact that the porter
who was chased into the car closet solemnly
alleged that there We're eighty need not be
taked into consideration, now. 1t Is very
well known that some persons are prone
to see double under certain circumstances
which usually exist along about o'clock
in the morning and surround such things
as The moon and the keyhole but the con-
ditions necessary to bring about such an
exasgeration of the vision were not present
on the night of the robbery. as 1t is well
known from the statements of the passen-
gers themselves that there was but one
little pocket pistol among them. In as large
a crowd as that 1t would have required
the contents of many pocket pistols to
d
binocuiariy, so to speak: so we must look
elsewhere for the reason which produced
Simultaneously the phenomena of quadruple
sight in so many persons OF such different
Compartments. The National Academy of
Sciences might find in the incident an op-
portunity for research of value alike to its
members and the public. 1t would be in
tensely interesting to ascertain what the
effect on the passengers vision would be
If ten men with ten guns were to carry on a
nocturnal shooting match outside of looted
train when two men with one gun caused
over threescore honest and intelligent citi-
zens to see eight of them. We know the eff
fects of light and darkness upon the eye
and will wait with feverish eagemess to
learn the definite effect upon it of fright and
terror. The savants cannot get to work
upon the subject too soon to suit an alto
gether anxious public.

There Is nothing like this In China; In
that strange land there seems to have been
little else than lethargy among the CON-
mon people: and when the common people
take no interest In a war In which their
national prestige Is at stake then nothing
but defeat can be looked for. Official in
formation from China shows conclusively
that the same feeling Of indifference or of
cowardice prevails in the army and navy.
Admiral Ting was defeated at the battle
OF the Yalu because. as he reports. seven
or his ships took no part In the battle but
sought safety in flight. If the Chinese are
only half as shrewd as they have hitherto
been credited with being they are even now
busily engaged in trying to placate the JAP
aneSe.
