Trolley-worried Baltimore has its eyes
fixed upon Washir gton just now: which by
the way is good thing. for there are
many conditions in Washington which
could be reproduced in Baltimore greatly
to the comfort and material advantage
of Baltimoreans. This time the under
ground application of electricity to the
propulsion of street-cars is the shining
spot upon which Baltimore optics gaze In
tently. Baltimore's business streets are
extremely narrow, so the overhead troll
ley is more than ordinarily obstructive; it
mlsappropriates valuable space and causes
the fire department a great deal of anxiety.
1t is therefore not at all remarkable that
Baltimore should watch closely the oper-
alton of street-cars on the Ninth street
ard U street lines. Discussing the system
which has teen adopted by the Metropolf-
tan company, the Baltimore Sun says to-
day, editorially:
The Washington method differs from the
method applied practically and with sue
cess in Buda Pesth, Hungary, in 1882
chiefly In the location OF the slot. At Buda
Pesth the slot is In one of the rails, and
rot between the rails, as at Washington.
In other respects the me thods are sub

People who are Interested in the weather
and there are good many such in the
United States-wiii not be likely to find
fault with the chief of the Weather Bureau
because of the changes he is making in the
personnel of the service on account of the
political activity of those who have been
removed, transferred or suspended. In the
first place there Is manifest Improperly in
any marked display of partisanship by
federal employees; in the second place-yet
probably the more important consideration
the public service must suffer if public
servants are going to give any consider
able proportion of their time to politics.
Especially must this be SO in the Weather
Bureau. Much depends upon the accuracy
of the observers reports, for there are
times when an error of any considera BILE
magnitude would change the entire appear
ance of the national weather map, and up
set the forecasts for half the country
The Weather Bureau, therefore, reasonably
proposes to exact exclusive service from
those who have charge of it's observation
points, ard it does so because such an ex-
action will tend to increased efficiency and
economical operation.

There is fiction which frequently gets
into the newspapers and which has 1t that
since the war officers of the regular army
have never commanded any considerable
body of troops. The New York Times said
the other day:
while the Twenty-second Regiment and
the Sixty-ninth Battalion were in camp last
week, each evening at parade, after the
officers had marched up and saluted the
commanding officer. one of the sergeant
majors took command, marched the three
battalions IN review, and finally dismissed
them. He commanded each evening about
1000 men. 1t is rather strange to think
that probably no general officer Of the
army has commanded that number of reg
Glar troops since the war; and that most of
the officers Of the army have never Seen SO
many men under arms at once"
Gen. Nelson A. Miles probably smiled at
that paragraph II he saw it, for he had
nearly thirty-five hundred officers and men
ut Pine Ridge in 1891 and more than two
thousand ut Chicago during the railroad
riots Of 1894. During the 70s and sos,
Generals Crook. Terry, Miles and Mac
kenzie all commanded, at various times and
in Indian campaigns. more than one thou
sand officers and men Of the regular estab-
liShment.

Very remarkable is the mental or racial
obliquity now on exhibition in Twiggs
county, Georgia. Some time ago EliZabe tn
Mobiles. a white woman, brutally murdered
her husband, and for that offense was tried
and sentenced to be hanged at Jefferson
vile next Friday. Extraordinary efforts
are being made to convince the authorities
that it would be a proper thing to commute
the sentence the argument for the defense
being based almost entirely upon the
ground that the person most deeply in ter
ested is a woman. OF itself, this energy in
behalf of the condemned woman would not
be extraordinary, for it has MANY times
been duplicat ted elsewhere, and is even now
prominent in New York city. where thous-
ands of people are endeavoring to secure
pardon for a woman who cut the throat OF
a man with whom she had been co-habit
ing but the Georgia case has an uncommon
feature Mrs Mobiles had an accompiice-
one Gus FAMILIES, neSro-and he, too, was
sentenced t. be hanged next Friday. The
testimony in the case made 1t reasonably
certain that this ignorant negro would
never have had any part in the crime but
for the instigation of Mrs. Mobiles, yet,
while there is vociferous demand for more
or less clemency for Mrs. Mobiles, no one
~oO~N-@
man who assisted Mrs. Mobiles in commit
ting the crime for which she has justly been
condemned. That Georgia will permit the
execution Of an accomplice while the prtn-
cipal enjoys life seems most unlikely, yet
the news from Twiggs county indicates the
probable hanging of families and the pos
sible Communication of sentence for Mrs.
Mobiles One of the main differences be-
tween sayagery and civilization is in the
amount of consideration shown by man for
woman, but it does seem as if our civiiiza-
ton were becoming much too fne-spun
when 1t grants to woman the privilege of
murder and practically assures her that the
worst punishment will not be more painful
than at most few years imprisonment
If capital punishment is to be abolished, 1t
should be abolished for both sexes. The
Georgia case win be watched with great
deal of interest by people who are OF the
opinion that women are only deserving OF
extraordinary consideration when they be-
have themselves as women should.

stantially identical. AS the Buda Pesth
road has stood the test Of operation, win
ter and summer. under all conditions of
weather, with profit to its owners and
satisfaction to the public, there Is every
reason to expect the experiment at the
national capital to be a business success.
New York has plan of dispensing with
the overhead trolley without the use of an
underground conduit, and this, too. prom
ises to be a practical success In this case
the current IS to be brought to the surface
at points a few feet apart and is to be
taken up by a long strip of copper beneath
the car. The length of the strip is such
that wherever the car may be the strip
Will always be in contact with two '1ives
points and be receiving current. Practical
difhculties present themselves in the ap-
plication of tiAs plan, but they are be-
1eVed to have been overcome. In any
event, the progressive cities Of this coun-
try, and Baltimore among the rest, will
probably soon have before them to choose
from two or more commercially practicable
systems Of propulsion by electricity with
out the odious and dangerous overhead
trolley wire"
AS the Sun so reasonably suggests, Balti-
more cannot afford to permit the continued
existence in it's midst of such a kirdergar-
ten method of electrical propulsion as is
there exhibited, in great profusion, in the
overhead trolley, and which but for The
Stars persistent fight would now be afflct-
ing Washington also. Within our city
limits there still exists short stretch
of overhead trolley Hne--the only one
that ever succeeded in establishing it
self within the bounds of the national
capital-but either through the force
of law or the willingness of the con-
trolling corporation to conform to public
sentiment, this line will soon cease to be.
and in it's place must come road operated
by just such methods as are so successfully
working in this city and for which Balti-
more will ere long hunger and thirst.

When the equity court refused to enjoin
the Commissioners from cutting down the
Illegal trolley poles the Commissioners
acted precisely as If they had been enjoined,
and refreined from po1e-cutting. When the
criminal court sustained the police-court
prosecutions of the Illegal trolley poles. the
prosecuting authorities acted precisely as
If the decision had been unfavorable, fail
Ing to press pending cases, beginning no
new cases, and intimating that they had
been called off from these prosecutions.
Both the equity and criminal courts to the
full extent of their judicial action. as dis
tinguished from their extra-judcial action,
sustained the law and encouraged it's en-
ergetic enforcement. But the authorities
have apparently declined to he encouraged
in that direction. Now the corporation in
controy ersy, speaking through its pres
ident In the columns of The Star,
announces it's willingness to promptly
obey the law, and voluntarily deprives
itself of it's last excuse for delay
by stating that 1t has the ready means,
through the bonds and resources of the
Washington and Baltimore Company, TO
, make these changes and improvements
without waiting for the grant Of bond
issuing privilege by Congress. The corpor-
the legal authority and the disposition to
conform speedily to the law. Will the
Commissioners take 1t at its word and hold
1t to it's word? The lexington railway has
enjoined the Commissioners from pole
cutting through a court decision refusing
en- injunction, and it has checked the police
court daily prosecutions against 1t through
a court decision sustaining such prosecu-
tons will it be able to induce the authori-
ties to accept and take advantage of It's
own voluntary offer to surrender? The
matter is completely in the Commissioners
hands. They can cut down the poles at
any time, or they CAN pile up successful
poice-court pr osecutions until the corpora
ton will be driven to remove the poles it
self. In the light of President Newbold's
frank and important declarations, as print
ed In The Star, 1t is evident that to avoid
any such action by the Commissioners the
corporation will bind itself to begin speed
fly to make the changes which the law re-
quires, and in addition other improvements
in the public interest for the wisely and
openly avowed purpose of working a
change in public sentiment in respect to
the corporation. With such cards in their
hands as the equity court and criminal
court decisions and the Newbold interview
the Commissioners cannot lose II they play
to win. Within very short time the Com
missioners should easily convert President
Newbold's words into binding acts. and
assure to the public the benefit Of all the
promised improvements in the conditions
and service of the lexington and Belt lines
OF railway.

To intrude on my dreaming and me.

The wind sweeps the branches that shadow

With melody subtle and sweet.

Soon dropping from pleasures fair crown.
