SHALL THE TROLLEY TRUST
RULE?

1t should be understood that the over
Washington olly, and that the statute does
not apply TO the Rock Creek line or the
Chevy Chase road and only to the New
York avenue section of the lexington and
Soldiers Home branch of the trolley com
bine If the trolley trust were compelled
TO comply with the law Brookland and
lexington passengers would be required
to change cars at First instead OF Fifth
street. From that point they would prob
ably have to ride in torse cars unless the
trust provided them more modern motive
power.
In view OF the danger of permitting the
Trolley Trust to maintain its overhead
system on New York avenue, this Slight
Inconvenience should be overlooked by
Brookland and lexington people The
trust is building a line with an overhead
system between this city ard Baltimore,
and intends as soon as practicable 30 ex-
tend it To New York city. II purchased
controlling interest in the lexington and
Soldiers Home Railway to scCuTe an en-
trace into Washington, and unless pre-
vented VIII run its trains by the overhead
system 10 Fifth street on New York ave
nue.
The spectacle of passenger and freight
trains on New York avenue in about the
same number now seen ON The Baltimore
and Ohio tracks VIII rot Le pleasant 10
the Washington public five years hence,
but that VIII be its future unless a way
can be found TO pull down the trolley poles,
and for the sake of preserving that beau
tifIl thorugafare from such diaigure-
ment the way should be found Immediately
It is now question whether the people
or the Trolley Trust shall control New
York avenue.

BUILDING REGULATIONS.

The collapse of the eight-story Ireland
building in New York city. which occurred
a few days ago, and ON account of which
six persons are 10 be presented 10 the grand
jury for Indictment on a charge Of man
Slaughter, is a warning To the municipal
authorities OF all large cities. With in
crease OF population and a naturally linl-
tied area for business and residential
purposes, there Will be a corresponding
increase in the price OF land, and also an
Increasing tendency to higher buildings in
order to get the largest possible revenue,
This presents u combination of facts and
circumstances which calls for the greatest
care and foresight in the framing of build
ing regulations, and, what is still more
important, FOR the strictest practicable
enforcement OF the same. Eight-story
buildings are very ordinary affairs nova
days in our large cities Hotels, for in.
stance. and buildings used for office pur-
poses, are rarely erected of a lesser
height, and more often are OF greater
altitude.
Washington presents no exception to the
rule Here also the buildings grow in
height, and it is of the last Importance
therefore, that regulation and inspection
OF buildings should be minutely careful.
II either the Commissioners or the Inspector
OF Buildings do not possess the requisite
authority TO enforce their ordinances ard
regulations, Congress should be urged
at the first opportunity to enact the nee
essary legislation to remedy such defect.
such regulations are necessary, both for
the erection Of buildings OF the kind re-
ferred to, as well as for the people that may
occupy them after they have been com
plcted

HYPNoTIsM AND THE LAW.

The discussion by the medicolegal con-
gress, now in session in'New York, Of the
status which hypnotlsm should ar should not
have in the courts is gratifying proof that
the Importance of the subject is impreSsing
Itself upon physicians as well as lawyers.
The fact that hypnotism is coming to be
regarded as lying outside of the region of
charatanism and looked upon as scieI-
dnc phenomenon which may be utilized
for either good or evil purposs is a great
step il advance.
Ii is not at all surprising that there
should be wide differences of opinion re-
garding hypnG ism in the medical as well
as in the legal fraternity. People, and
professional people at that, ridiculed Har-
vey's theory of the circulation of the blood,
even after ne had demonstrated it practi-
cary, and Jenner was laughed at when
he promulgated the doctrine of incubation
against smallpox, Just as Pastcur has been,
and Koch, and all the other pioneers and
heraIds of progress. and just as Charcot,
and Morel, and Liebknecht, and the rest of
the apostles of hypnntism are now. But
truth is mighty, and facts are stubborn
things, and thus 1t has come to pass
that hypnotism is gradually but surely es-
tabIishing its claim TO recognition as a
physiological, Do less than a psychological
phenomenon entitled to recognition i'll the
medical and law colleges and in the courts
OF justice.
One of the physicians at the congress de-
clared that he had caused his servant to pur-
Ioin all of a colleagues books and instru-
nents, and. made a cashier steal S45, ,0Go
from the bank, wilhelm the hypnotic trance.
As instances merely OF what may be done,
these happenings challenge the serious at
tention OF all honest Investigators. Neither
medical nor legal science can afford to shut
its eyes against facts like these.
Even if il be admitted, as contended by
some, that a person of strict integrity
could not, while in the hypnotic state, be
influenced to commit a crime, there remain
those many other people whose characters
are not SO firmly founded in uprightness and
who, therefore, would form apt subjects
for Some hypnotist that might work evil
through them. Hyprotism In its relation
10 the law is a subject to ignore which
any longer, or not TO subject it to careful,
conscientious investigation, would expose
both the legal and the medical professions
to the charge OF refusing To know the truth.

PREMATURE BRAGGrSG

Yesterday, the Evening Times, through the
United Press, bulleuned the only prompt
and reliable account Of the International
yacht race. Itsreports were absolutely cor
rect, and ;be public was kept informed as
TO the position Of the two yachts at least
once in every mile Of the exciting ocean
struggle.
notwithstanding reports TO the contrary,
the Defender was in the lead almost during
the entire race and this welcome intelligence
was announced as frequently as the ex-
ceueut service Of the United Press could
ascertain the correct information.
The Star, on the contrary, buIlctined the
Valkyrie as the leader and the probable
winner Of the race, but it's reports were
60 conflicting and apparently unreliable
that no one gave them credit for truthful
ness. In its regular edition the Star in
siuated that The Times was giving false
Information by changing the position Of the
yachts and placing the Defender in the
lead, ana after exultng over its own use
fulness as a reliable newspaper, concluded
Its Dragging TRADE with a sentence familiar
70 Washington readers:
The Star was right, as it always is"
The official report Of the yacht race,
however, proved that the Star was
wrong, and that The Times was right,
and il the Star gazers- OF Washington
viii recall its many mistakes, they will
find that This newspaper is made up prin-
cipaIly OF bluff, blusier and cunceit Like
q grampus that founders through the sea
without knowledge Of the direction it is
going, the star manages 10 make its way
in the newspaper world without policy OF
actual reason for its existence. Its chief
Characteristic is a propensity for Dragging,
and its only real purpose seems TO be TO
claim everything in sight. This has been
demonstrated many Times before yesterday,
ana although the Star could not avoid
being aware OF its error, it was not honest
enough TO acknowledge its mistake Why?
Because 10 itself 1.-The Star was right,
as Il always is"
The Times claims 40 credit for the reliable
report it gave The public OF the yacht race
yesterday. That honor belongs to the
United Press, and notwithsts Gding the IN
favorable weather conditions that made
the gathering OF The information extremely.
difficult, the service Of that excellent as
sociation was prompt, correct and entirely
satisfactory.

the Defender in light wind. 1t would be
unkind TO say that it was their faint hearts
that prompted such an assumption, for at
no time since the Valkyrie has been built
could she be compared as racer with the
Defender.
The only thing to fear about the Heres
choff yacht is the light and apparently
too frail construction of some of her rig
ging. In each OF her trial races except
the last she had the misfortune to break
something, and should one OF the inter
national races be sailed in brisk wind,
1t is reported that all possibility of such
an occurrence has been provided for, and
thatthc Defender can win from the Walk yrie
in any kind Of wind.
There will be much less interest mani
tested in the sailing of the four remaining
races. The cup winner is already selected,
and nothing but a series OF untoward cir
cumstances can prevent the defeat of the
Yalkyrie. The expense of preparing for
this ocean contest has been enormous COM
pared 10 the insignificant results ac-
complished, for neither of the yachts on
which such vast sums have been expended
is OF any practical use whatever. They are
simply racing machines, fit only to crafty
the whims OF wealthy men, and their con-
struction and use as nautical representatives
of conflicting nations should be discon-
tinued

ON SOUTHERN SOIL.

Bands and posts Of the local department
Of the Grand Army OF the Republic VIII
leave Washington this morning to attend
The encampment at Louisville. From
all over the country veterans Of the Union
Army viii, within the next few days,
assemble in tbSt southern city, and the
meeting promises TO be one of the most
memorable in the history OF the organiza-
ticn.
For the time, this constantly decreas-
ing remnant OF the old army Of the North,
wlI ornetogether in a city OF the Southern
States Although Kentucky was not in
sympathy with the secession movement,
inso faras a vast majority ofits population
was concerned, it was still looked upon
as doubtful in the tendencies of its leading
politicians, and the veterans VIII probably
meet there a larger portion Of citizens
who were in touch with the scheme Of the
Confcderacy than at any former assembling
OF the encampment.
This VIII add dimmeasurably to the growing
fraternal feeling between the veterans
Of the Blue and OF the Gray. Old animosi-
ties have waned rapidly in recent years
and a feeling almost OF affection has sprung
up between large element within the
Union and the Confederate organizations.
Many Union veterans will even be present

monument to jefferson Davis, at Rich
mond. and the climax Of determination VIII

TWO BRAIN PHANToMs.

1t seems difficult for ex-Speaker Crisp
to give up two Of his Iong-nursed and much
loved brain phantoms. In an interview
yesterday on his return from England.
Mr. Crisp said he did not believe in a third
term, ana that silver would be the next
campaign issue His bitter dislike for
Pres ident Cleveland causes Mr.. Crisp
to oppose d third term, and his long absence
from this country is an excuse for his
ignorance on the money question. After
Mr. Crisp has taken a look at the political
situation, he VIII find precious little
opinion, ana an overbalance of third term
speculation which, while not so bitter as
crow, is mighty hard chewing for d man
of Mr.. Crisp's sensibiities.
Tie truth is that President Clevelands
chances for denomination are increasing
every day. His best and most convincing
advocate is a return of good times That
connected with his stand on the money Ques-
ton has made for him host of friends
among business men and will largely in
another trial. Mr.. Crisp will also learn
that the rapid growth of business since
his visit to England has also disposed of
the silver question. The public cares moth
ing about changing our financial system
when times are prosperous, and as the tide
Of prosperity has now set in that question
is no longer q political issue.

expected. He suggests various means to
accomplish this purpose, among them be-
ing the sinking OF artesian wells.
The suggestion as to these wells is
worth serious consideration. They fur
nish generous and excellent supply OF
wafer, and there is every reason to be-
lieve that any number can be sunk in
Washington with good results. The ex
pertinent has been tried in and around
the city several times, with entire salts

1t is high time that this everlasting
complaint about insufficient water sup

Is more favored by rature in this respect

ities are properly utilized, water can be
made here as free and as plentiful as air.

engineer sfficer in charge OF the division
OF wafer and light, in which he says that
the supply OF water provided in 1880 as
sufficient for the next ensuing fifteen
years, has already been found entirely
inadequate TO the needs of the people. In
other words, Washington has grown in

likely 10 assume in thrice that time.

regular meeting last evening at No. 7e7
Seventh street northwest.
Aghator John willis reported that he
had since the last meeting visited several
sections OF the city, and nearly everywhere
he found that dealers We're using union
made cigars, and many OF those who were
not doing so at present had signified their
willingness to Go so Attention was also
called to the fact that William Carney, cigar
maker No. 921 G street southwest, was
distributing q circular calling attention
to his "ulG-Style handmade cigars" This,
the union decided, was an effort TO impose
Oh their friends, which they could not allow
TO go unnoticed A union-made cigar
always bears the regulation blue label, and
all others are unfair
The action of The Times in endeavoring
to bring the management OF the trolley sys-
tenn TO justice was unanimously indnrsed.
IL was the sense of the meeting that those
who insisted on foisting this system upon
the people after being repeatedly warned
to deSist, We're deserving of no mercy at
the hands of the law.
A committee from the Butchers As
scmbly was present to request the Cigar
ma kers to cooperate with the other labor
organizations in Withholding their patron
age from Nick Auth, butcher The request
was granted, and in order that it shall
not be forgotten, on motion it was de-
termined that the request shall be read
at four consecutive meetings OF the union.
The following were elected members of
