Depravity Is of many kinds and once in
awhile there appears a form of the disease
for which feeble excuse can be offered, but
nothing can be said In palliation OF an at
tempt to set fire to a tenement house and
TO- in all probability. destroy a large per-
rentage of the threescore Of men. women
and children residing therein. New York's
FIRE marshal claims TO have discovered testi-
mcny which will convict man now held as
y prisoner of such a horrible offenSe as that
outlined. For some reason or other-proba-
bly, because of warning received-a couple
of the marshaPs assistants watched the sus-
pected man and, at what seemed to be the
opportune time. broke into the suspects
room and found burning candle SO
placed that II must soon have commun-
icated its flames to liquid which would
speedily have started a blaze likely to re-
suit in the destruction of the building and its
occupants. The proof seems to be conclu-
sive. but no matter how severe may be New
York's extreme punishment for attempted
arson it will fall far short of being enough
to do such fiend justice.

At a meeting of the Citizens Associa-
ton Of Northeast Washington, held yester
day evening, it was announced by President
Frizzell that q railroad official had given
him every assurance that by December 1
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Company
would be ready to submit to Congress a
proposition which, IL 1t met with Congress-
ional approval, would abolish grade cross
ings SO much of the Baltimore and
Ohio system as is within the city limits.
Thousands of Washingtonians hope soon
to see the day when this particular prom
Use or some one of the many other prom
ises Just like 1t that have for the three or
four years past been so literally scattered
0broad by railroad managers will fully
materialize. But hope, especially of local
railroad reform, is shadowy In the extreme,
and were 1t not for the unquestionable
fact that 1t Is better to hope than to despair
the men who have devoted much energy
TO the abolition OF grade crossings at the
national capital have reason sufficient for
lying down and permitting the modern
Juggernaut to run all over them. Again
and again have the supreme authorities
OF the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylva-
mia Railroad Companies assured the repre-
sentatives of this community that the COM
panies were ready to ask of Congress the
little legislation necessary to permit the
Bfe-saving alterations for which The Star
and other true friends to this city's best
interests have reasonably argued. Matters
Rave even gone so far as to bring about
consultations between the railroad officials
and Congressional committees, but beyond
The drawing Of a few plans nothing real
appears to have been done. Long before
track elevation was seriously discussed In
Chicago II was promised Washington by
those who were commissioned to speak
for the Baltimore and Ohio management;
today the work In Chicago is we'll under
way, while in Washington the menace to
human life and the destroyer Of property
values IS more conspicuously dangerous
and obstructive than 1t ever was. The de-
lay which the public has suffered I'm this

ChiDa's Crippled State.
From the New York Herald.

FrOm the New 10rK Herald.
The writer who shields his personality
behind the pseudonym Of "Nauticus'' Is q
recognized authority on naval matters, and
his views on the present condition of the
Chinese fleet as reported in a special Com
mercial Cable dispatch from Brussels, will
be read with interest.
In the battle of the Yalu all China's best
warships were either destroyed or else so
much damaged as to be obliged to go into
dock for repairs. At the present moment,
as "Nauticus' points out, Chinas effective
sea force amounts to one vessel of the third
class, which perhaps has not yet even re-
ceived her armament.
Japan is therefore completely mistress of
the sea. and if she turns this Overwhelming
advantage to as good an account as hitherto
the result of the war will not be long In
doubt.

A suggestion to enterprising furniture
concerns is offered in an item that comes
from Springfield. Ohio. to the effect that
a wealthy young country couple walked
into a furniture store there and asked per-
mission to be married. The firm accommo-
dated them. called In a minister. and saw
that the knot was tied. The dispatch goes
on to say that after the ceremony the
couple selected their household goods from
the stock in the store and departed su-
premely happy. Now, why could not fur

minister on hand all the time, having some

A little while ago 1t was fashionable to
smile at the proposition that Senators
should be elected by the direct vote Of the
people. and there were many men in public
life who jeered at the idea, but during the
last few months public sentiment on this
subject has been so frequently and so Wig
orously expressed that the jeer has gone
entirely out of fashion. At every political
convention there is agitation in favor of
SUCH radical and yet perfectly proper
change in the method by which Senators are
chosen. and although that iniquitous some
thing termed the machine" seems intent
upon opposing the reform the reformers
nevertheless appear to be in the majority.
But few days since the democrats of
Ohio declared In favor OF the new and bet
ter way; yesterday the democrats of Car
roll county. Maryland, with the accompani-
ment Of rousing cheers, announced: I'VE
declare that 1t Is the sense of this conven-
ton. and We recommend 1t for adoption by
the second congressional convention. that
the United States Senators should be elected
by the direct vote of the people" With
such enthusiastic heresy abroad. machine
politicians will be excused for feeling some
what nervous; the outlook Ia far from
agreeable. Up to this time 1t has been pos
procurers and distributors Of the spoils of
ONCE. to control majorities In state legis-
latures. and. through that control to
achieve place In the United States Senate.
Under those circumstances the legls,a lures
choice did not feel as though he was re-
sponsible to anybody but himself-a con-
clusion that has resulted In some very dis
creditable legislation. The new method
ought to result In the retirement of several
Benators whose interest in the public well
fare Is too infinitessimal for measurement
and whose prominence misleads many in
vestisators who are engaged In studying
the American character. There is nothing
startling In the prophesy that ninety-fve
out of every hundred political conventions
held between now and November will in
oorse the direct election idea.
