be ashamed Of. We are just on the
eve of doing something to be proud Of.

to simply fix by the Constitution the
area of new counties and leave to the
General Assembly, the matter of their
establishment. We will not oppose
Court Houses at Princeton or Landlords

tory to give up to taxation to erect

Preserve the Big Battlefields.

What has been done to preserve the bat
tlefield of Chickamauga should be done in
many other localities where for awhile
during the war period the interest of the
then divided nation centralized. 1t would,
Of course. be absurd to provide for the
preservation of all the battlefields, but
there would be comparatively little diff
Guilty in making government reservations
of the more prominent scenes of conflict.
All that Is needed Is a little legislation, and
this can be had without difficulty If the
matter is taken up with the earnestness
that has characterized General H. v. Boyn-
toms activity In behalf of the Chattanooga
Chickamauga Park. There is nothing Sec
tional in such memorials of the days OF
fratricidal strife as are Chickamauga and
Gettysburg. Veterans of the north and
south meet in those places as on neutral
ground and find in their latter-day inter-
change of incident and opinion material out
OF which proceeds an intensified patriotism
and love of country.

Better Service with Les. Trolley

Better Service With Less Trolley.
There does not seem to be any likelihood
of REVOLT against horsa-cars by those peo-
pie who regularly patronize the lexington
and Soldiers Home Street Railroad Com
pany. Not so long ago petitions were being
circulated which alleged that the removal
Of the trolley poles and wires on New York
avenue would seriously interfere with the
business and social life of a large number
of persons who reside in the vicinity Of
that road and who depend mainly upon 1t
for transportation facilities to and from
the city. The demolition of the trolley in
side of the city limits has brought about
extension of the horse-car service from the
Treasury to the northern edge of Florida
avenue, and this extension has rendered
unnecessary transfer which was the al
most legitimate cause of a steady current
of strong language. The trip from Ecking-
ton to 18th street is now being made in
from ten to fifteen minutes less time than
1t used to be done In when the trolley cars
transferred lexington passengers at New
York avenue and 9Th street. People unac-
quainted with the conditions may find it
somewhat difficult to figure out how even
briskly-moving horses can make better
time than the rushing trolley cars, but the
fact nevertheless remains that the old
fashioned new system Is much more salts
factory in point of speed than was the
combination Of trolley and horse-car when
1t was at its best.

Hoboken,. Re.pon.ibility,

1t will be a truly awful thing If a mere
sergeant of police up in Hoboken should
embroll this country in a war with Ger
many, but such possibility is not entirely
remote. Saturday last there arrived in this
country one Baron Erlanger. whose resi-
dence. when he Is at home, is Berlin.
Among the many valuables imported by the
baron was pet dog, and this pet dog was
playfully disporting himself In front of the
Hoboken hotel gracousy patronized by the
baron when the Hoboken pound-keeper
neandered along. Now the average pound
keeper is totally blind to everything but
dogs and goats and such other varieties of
the animal kingdom as are apt to stray

around the streets of towns and villages
without any apparent concern as to the
municipal regulations which say that such
things shall not be. The pound-keeper's
vision speedily made the pound-keeper
aware of the fact that this dog-owner
then unknown-was not decorated with a
tag, therefore the pound-keeper gathered
him in. The Baron Erlanger at once be-
came frantic, and either by reason of supe-
rior physical development or the possession
Of greater skill as wrestler, upset the
pcund-keeper and rescued the dog. At this
point policeman interfered and the imme-
date result was procession In which the

the dog were the prominent features At

will be no trouble at all over the very
