THE IL. Il O. CROSSINGS.

The opinion of Attorney Thomas that
there is no law authorizing the Commits
sioners to compel the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad to keep flaGmcn at the crossings

Illustration of the defenseless condition
of the District from that corporation. Our
streets are used for its switch ssrds; al night
its crossings are death traps, and in every
instance where there has teen a oonflist

There is question how long this state or
affairs can exist. When corporate power
becomes arbitrary, unyielding, and burden

way to bring about punishment. few
more accidents on the Baltimore and oAio

GOOD FOR VALKYRIE.

1t is doubtful if the'victory Of the VAL
kyrie yesterday was not due more to su-
perior handling than to the mishap to
the Defender. In both races the visiting
yacht has had the best of the start, and it
may as well be admitted that while Capt.
Haff is an excellent commander, he is not
the equal of Capt. Crandal. disadvantage
gained by the Valkyrie while the Defender
was repairing damages was slightly made
up during the race, and if our boat was
crippled by the collision SD as to interfere
with her sailing, it is evident that she is
much the better racer.
BE it as it may, the valkyrie won, and
to all appearances it was a fair race and
an honest victory. While the accident to
the Defender is to be regretted, 1t should
not be allowed to act as bar to the race.
II the English yacht is better handled, and
if she wins the cup through more skillful
seamanship, let it go to her without pro-
test. Everyone will give her greater bon,y
for being able to beat US with brains instead

streng thened by the fact that the Star is
the owner of 12S shares of trolley stock.
Therefore it should have great weight with
the public. In the interview mentioned
President New bold also took occasion to
make u number of promises, which the Star
thinks should be accepted without ques-
ton. and in its capacity as member
of President Newbold's corporation perhaps
the Star is right. But there are some things
which Mr.. New bold SAID that need an ex-
PLANTATION.
For instance, Ii is well known that no sane
board of directors would begin the work of
putting in an underground electric system
SO late in the season, and yet President
Newbold says in his anti-trolley organ:
"Our company does not wish to go 10

cally worthless in a short time through the

Does that not mean that the poles must

The Times owns no stock in the trolley
rust, nor has il any faith in President
NewbOld's statements, or in the sincerity
of the Star as an antitrolley organ. The
trolley trust, through its attorneys, fought
every legal attempt on the part of the au-
thorities to compel removal of its poles
from New York avenue, and up to the time
the trust was defeated the Star was ostensi-
bly, an anti-trolley trust organ. But on the
very day Judge Cole decided that the Com
missioners had power to remove the poles
the Star published number OF promises
from President Newbold and Indirectly
asked that the trust be exempted from the
penalty attached to its offense for obstruct-
ing the streets.
To-day the trolley trust will be brought
into court by The Times and compelled to
show cause why 1t has not complied with
the law 1t is TO counteract the effect of
that suit and to manufacture public senti-
ment in favor of the trolley trust that the
Star yesterday published this new batch
of promises from President Newbold. No
blame could be attached To the Star f'f
endcavoring 10 protect its interests in the
trolley trust if it came out boldly and
openly as a trolley trust organ. But its at
tempt to pose as a trolley reformer and
at the same time covertly assist tie trust in
violating the law is deception no honest
public can stand. Nor is it of any use for
the Star to plead injured innocence. Its
past hypocrisy is beginning to be known.

ment for year less a day. The President
says: carrying pistols and using them on
every possible pretext, and assaults . .
growing out of this pistolrcarrying habit,
ought, in my opinion, to be severely and
firmly treated"
The 'pistol-carrying habit is response
bic for nine-tenths of the murders committed
in this country. There is neither rhyme nor
-eason in 1t. Men that indulge in it are
enemies of social order, no matter how re-
spectacle they may be in every otherrespect.
Carrying a weapon makes a bully of a

avoid it.
The worst about tbis habit is that not
only is statute violated by it, but that
higher law of civilization and social order
which forbids a man to take the law into
his own hands. 1t is u germ of disorder and
of violence, and every court ought to go to

New Story of Bismarck.

A new Bismarck anecdote is related in
Swedish paper by an old Swedish lady.
She writes:
Fifty-six years ago. when 1 was a very
young girl, was to spend some time in
Rome. Accompanied by an old companion
and two ladies' maids, set out on my
journey. 1t was settled that should stay
a short time in Berlin.
A sister of my father had married Ger

we called him at that time, studsed at Ber-
lin i had never seen him. A few days
before set out on nay journey my father
sent him Letter requesting him 10 look
after me little, l arrived safely in Ber-
lin, and was most heartily received by my
German cousin.
He was a tall youth with n large rlus-
tache and peculiarly sparkling eyes; he
seemed to me even somewhat uncanny.
For three days he was my faithful compan-
ion. Certainly he gould not speak a word
of Swedish, but he talked very elegant
French. 1 never had such an agreeable
cavalier. / Svas quite proud of MY Ger

THE ELECTRIC CONDUIT.

In view of the changes 10 be made in
some of our street railway systems, the
following, clipped from Casters Maga-
zine, on the electric conduit may be inter
esting:
1T is strange indeed that problem rela-
lively so simple as the building of
successful road of this kind should have
been held up for so long time as one of
the bugbears of practical engineering.

have been many, some on paper and some
in actual service, but OF these latter the
one at Budapest is the only one which has

LAKE OF BOILING LAVA.
One of the Natural Curiosities on the
Isl,srd of Ha wall.


Mauna Loa, the gigantic Hawaiian vol
cano, has two craters or openings, one of
which, Klauea, is the largest active vol
canic crater in the world. The mountain
is IA, 100 feet high, and Kilauea Is situated
on the eastern side, about 1000 feet above
the level Of the sea. This marvellous crater
is really vast lake of boiling lava which
rises and falls continually by the action Of
subterranean fires. In tossing to and fro
like troubled sea of molten metal, the
lava is dashed against the cliffs and
hardens there in the form of long, CLASSY
filameDts, gigantic knobs, miniature trees,
and in Imitation of grass, leaves, etc.
Another form N CLASSY filaments to be
found along the shores of this fiery lake
is in the shape of queer punches and tufts
of lava made up of an aggregation of
vitreous threads which the natives call
'.Pele's hair" Pele being the goddess to
whom the mountain is dedicated. These
CLASSY threads appear to be caused by
the passage of steam through the molten
lava. In so doing small lparticles in the
shape of bubble-like balloons are thrown
into the air, leaving tail behind like
comet. When the scene of these miniature
steam eruptions is near a rock or the
shore, all solid and cool surfaces are found
covered with punches of ''Pele's hair"
This ''bair was formerly used in mystic
native ceremonies, and of late years has
been gathered in large quantities BY
curiosity seekers.-St. Louis Republic.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A NEWS
PAPER"

newspaper to merit the good will of the
public must be vigorous, honest, fearless;
and progressive. 1t maintains in the secu
lar world precisely the same relations that
exist between ministers and the people
who make up the various churches, and a
paper that fails TO protect its readers from
the vultures of society is no more worthy
of support than a minister would be who
refused to denOunce evil.
fhe first duty of newspaper is TO print
the news, regardless of political, social, or
religious influences. Its columns should
never be filled with prosy opinions on public
events, for such effusions are nothing but
mind phantoms, and cannot be relied upon
from one day to another Its editorial
comments should be crisp, bright, and logi-
cal brain creations on subjects selected
from the news columns. The day of the
long Upinionated editorial is over, and
ductions to keep up their circulation are
destined to be disappointed.
Newspaper readers have changed along
with the general alteration in public de-
mands. The tragedy has given place TO
comedies and the lighter kinds of drama.
The opera is NO longer as popular as its
comic successor. The heavier classes of
music have lost their power of pleasing,
And burlesques and spectacular plays have
supplanted the once favUrite MINISTRIES
A similar change has come over the news
paper world, and the prudish, selfish cd
maid newspaper is rapidly giving way 10
the more popular Journalistic reformer.
The reading public admires a fearless
nev--,dper for the same reason that IL
honors a brave man. Instead of condemn
ing Journal that tells the truth, exposes
shams and advocates reforms, readers
regard such a policy as they do hero
who by his daring rescues human life.
As molders of public opinion newspapers
are expected to act in the capacity of
protectors of society, and If they permit
abuses to thrive unchallenged, and by
their silence allow public officials to
protect and foster lawlessness, they are
looked upon as cowardly aud neglectful
Of their duty.
Let every unprejudiced reader compare
the policy of The Times with that of it's
contemporaries aud decide il it has not
tried TO do its duty, both as dispenser
of news and as a guardian of public
morals. 1t has already proved its sincerity,
and In the future will continue TO combat
wrongdoins, and will still further merit
the large patronage it enjoys. and for
which it is exceedingly grateful.

Men of the Same Names and with
Similar Traits of Character.
(Atlanta Dispatch to ST. Louis Globe

A curious story of a search of a young man
for his brother developed here to-day upon
the arrival of ]. j. Kane, of Philadelphia
Eleven years ago D. ]. Kane, the elder of
the family left for the West. He held Il re-
sponsible position in the train despatching
departments OF various railroads in Pitts
burg, Cincinnati, Chicago and st. Louis.
where lie was well known TO the railroad
men. Since his departure from st. Louis
nothing has been heard of him. Recently
his mother, in Philadelphia, had strange
presentiments about the fate OF her son, and
she sent her remaining son, ]. J. Kane, to
travel the country in search of the missing
son. Strange to say, he came upon men OF
the same name and occupation in the cities
named. While in st. Louis, the point from
which his brother was last heard from, he
talked with one of the same name. SO he
did in Louisville. Arriving in that city on
Sunday evening he came face to face with
d. j. Kane. of the Mississippi road, who was
not only the same in name, but almost a
counterpart physically of the missing man.
This Mr.. Kane, however, was native Of
St-Louis, but he referred the Traveller to an
other d. ]. Kane, who was in Atlanta.
Reaching this city, the traveller found man
exactly like his brother, but still not birs
The strange feature of the pilgrimage has
been that all of the Kanes had left their
homes when young and their Whereabouts
are unknown TO their families. Young Kane
fears TO so back to his mother without some
news from tine missing son, and Will continue
his pilgrimage until he has found him.

A NATIONAL LOSS.

There is doubt as to the ability of the
Fifty-fourth Congress to get along without
the distinguished services of the Hon. Eli
Lemuel QuiGg, and as there are fiocks and
flocks Of as good newspaper men in New
York The Times begs him to withdraw his
resignation and once more shake his sun
burnt locks in the House of Representa-
tives. Those who have seen the gentleman
from the Fourteenth New York district
fearlessly attack the English language
as he rose to some emergency in thelast Con-
Gress can well understand how lily he can
be spared. There was but one Quigg and he
was his own prophet.
Then again what glorious opportunity
Mr. Quigg would lose by sending in his
resignation. The Hon. Thomas Brackett
Reed. the gentleman from Maine, who
once Hkened Quigg TO an emascuated sun
flower, is to be the Speaker, and in his
sportive moods when discussing affairs
of state Mr.. QuIgg might jokingly refer
to the Speak ker as the roaring rhinoceros
of the piny woods.
The Hon. Tom Reed likes such witticisms.
To him they are as acceptable as the caress
of a honey bee, and when one of them ticklcs
his broad expanse of ear he Immediately
begins TO think of suitable return Of
the compliment Mr.. Reed likes Quigg,
and in appreciation of his dazzling ability
would possibly make him first honorary
seat warmer of the cloak room COM

does not resign.

From the Boston Herald.

An effort is being made to induce the COM
ing Democratic State convention of New
York 10 declare against third term in the
Presidency. There is not the least evidence
that any considerable number Of people are
seeking IL for the only man who could have
IL, or that he either desires OF would accept
the honor. Hence it is not at all appropriate
at present. If the Democratic convention of
New York chooses 10 regard it as such it
will be either proof on its part of an unrea-
sonable fear of the effect of President Cleve-
lands popularity with the American people
or gratuitous desire again to decorate him
with its dislike.
