After careful personal Investigation, Pres
hent Phillips and Chief Engineer Connect
CT the Metropolitan Street Railway Com
tany have reached the conclusion that the
modified Buda-Pesth system Is the best
street-car motor at present In the market
With the conclusion thus reached there is
agreement by the Metropolitan directorate
Ind, as a consequence the General Electric
Company, which controls the Buda-Pesth
patents in this country. will at once pro-
coed to reconstruct the Ninth street line
and, when that reform has been brought
pbout. win do likewise for the east and
vest route. The equipment of the Metro
politan road with an underground motor Is
an event of great importance to the national
capital. for, aside from the rapid transit that
viii result. 1t Is the tombstone which will
hold down forever the decaying remains of
that cheap and nasty motor-the over
head trolley. For several years there has
been vigorous and vicious effort by corpor-
atoms and individuals to secure from Con-
gress the right to obstruct and deface the
streets with trolley-poles and to string
thereon overhead wires that would, to oper-
ate the car-motors successfully, be COM
PEELED to carry a dangerous voltage. Dis
creditable efforts were made to deceive
ConsI and to prevent the public from
acquiring real information as to the char
acter Of what was lauded on the floor of the
House. In the committee rooms and in the
lebbies. az the IDEAL system of electrical
propulsion. but the truth could not be hid
den and. as a result Of its frequent publ
cation. the overhead trolley received its
death blow just when 1t was looking most
confidently for an Endorsement that would
have been worth millions of dollars The
Star has no apology to make to the people
Of the District Of Columbia for the part 1t
took In the anti-trolley campaign; II
believed with all sincerity that the over
head trolley. while useful In the suburbs,
would be a murderous nuisance in the city
unanimous concurrence among those who
had closely at heart the best interests Of
the most beautiful city in the country, and
new that there Is to be underground equip
ment of the entire Metropolitan system,
local advocates of the overhead trolley are
fewer In number than are the wOrkmen
employed on the new city post-office build
ing. For awhile there will be excavation
and consequent Interference with trafi1c
on the Ninth street line, but with such an
energetic man as President Phillips In con-
troll the possibilities of discomfort and
friction will tie reduced to minimum.
Forgetting the causes which have brought
about the Inauguration Of this reform In
local street-railroadjng. the people of WASH
irgton and the Metropolitan Company may
reasonably congrs tulate themselves on the
outlook.

to live upon while engaged In Arctic ex-
paoration. 30 interested people WIN not be
able to figure out how much short Of SWANS
anticipations the realization was. but Mr..
Swain ought to be able to find q good deal
OF comfort In the fact that he Jared very
much better than have hundreds Of others
who preceded him in search Of polar facts.
II he will take the trouble to read the ex-
periences Of men who have sought the
fame Of achieving the Goth parallel he may
then come to the conclusion that cornmeal
mush, bacon. canned beans, coffee, seal
meat, cornbread, tea, reindeer meat and an
occasional can Of tomatoes and a small
quantity Of white bread were positive lux
urfes. 1t might have been possible for
Lieut. Peary 10 have arranged matters SO
as to have on hand, no matter what the
meteorological conditions or where the To-
cation of the party, a never-failing supply
Of frozen tenderloin steak and a sufficiency
of veal outlet for breakfast, and a liberal
allowance Of preserved fruits and the finest
Havana cigars but either through lack of
funds or through carelessness, no such pro-
vision was made. Mr.. Swain had better re-
main In Philadelphia, where the supply of
scrapple Is unlimited and bakers bread is
reasonably cheap. Arctic explorers are not
made out of the material which Is known
among men as w. T. Swain.

The resources Of a newsgathering and
newsdistributing association are never tested
more severely than when a great political
convention has to be handled. On such an
occasion the race is TO the swift and the
credit is to the accurate. The Associated
Press distanced all competitors in its re-
port Of the democratic convention at Sara
tosa- The details of that gathering were
secured with precision and dispatched most
promptly; considerably in advance of any
attempt at competition.

An organization which should be dupli-
Gated in every community of. any conse-
quence is the Society for Instruction In
First Aid to the Injured, which has for
some time been successfully alive in New
York city, At first glance 1t would seem as
though the effect Of putting into practical
operation the teachings of this society
might bring on a conflict with medical and
surgical graduates, but no such intent is to
be found either in the plan or its execution
the idea is to train those who care to be
trained to render what may be termed
emergency add to persons who chance to
be injured and who. as they frequently are.
happen to be beyond the immediate reach
Of physician. The New York course con-
sists Of five lectures, for which those who
can afford to pay are assessed the sum of
three dollars; persons who cannot afford to
Invest even that small sum are Instructed
free of charge by the public-spirited and
humane doctors who have banded them
selves to disseminate that little knOwl-
edge which Is not likely to prove "a
dangerous thing" The lectures embrace
such subjects as elementary anatomy and
physiology and deal with the treatment of
the apparently drowned or otherwise as
phyxiated, OF hemorrhages, Of burns, scalds,
frost-bite, signs of fracture, fainting.
sunstroke. poison and excessive inebria-
ton. Each Of the students-most of
whom are well-to-do young and middle
aged men and women-is taught how to ap-
ply tournfQuet. to put on splints and
bandages. and to care for all sorts of all
ments that to the class. Of course. are
imaginary. because clinics on emergency
cases would be nearly impossible. Those
students who complete the course and pass
the required examination are given diplo-
mas. Work done by the graduates of the
society has resulted in the saving Of many
lives. and there Is no reason why there may
not be multiplication Of the good deeds by
multiplication Of similar societies. Where
are the local doctors who are willing to
give little time once q week in exchange
for the goodwill OF the public and the
thanks Of those who will surely be succored
by the pupils Of Washington society of
this sort?

From the Civil Service Chronicle.
Seventy-five federal office-holders went
from Washington to the Ashland district
to help Congressman Breckinridge get q
denomination. This fact brings to the
front again in the most offensive manner
the corrupt use Of the public treasury by
Congressman for their private ends which
so generally prevails. In addition to the
seventy-fve from Washington practically
all federal officers living in the Ashland
district, amounting to hundreds, were foy
weeks working for this same Brechinridge
The majority of the people Of his district
did not want Breckenridge, to say nothing
of the majority Of his party. Ye. q regi-
ment Of of1ce-holders. paid by the country
have worked day and night to force MIN
upon his district. They have to man lef,
their places Of official duty to do this.
