last argument of the overhead-trolley adj
vocates. Not so long ago it was possible
for the all-devouring traction syndicate to
pretend that all underground systems were
electrically and financially failures; today
there can be but little successful effort in
either of those directions, for in COM
paratively short space of time the intelli-
gent public has been educated quite broad
ly in street railroad matters and is not
easily to be deceived. If any street rail-
re ad corporation installs an underground
system for the purpose of discrediting 1t
the people will find it out without much
trouble and the result will be very disas-
trous to the company INDUCING in the
foolish experiment. OF course the success
of the underground electric roads will work
diminution of present financial gain by the
overhead-trolley syndicate, but the amount
of damage done will not be serious If the
syndicate gracefully and as speedily as
possible falls into line with reasonable pub
lie opinion.

There should be no delay in canvassing
for subscriptions to a great national testi-
monial to be presented to Armour & Com
pany as a token of the grateful remem-
Drance in which they are held by the beef
consumers Of the United States. From an
affidavit forwarded by that firm to the
Secretary Of Agriculture, 1t appears that
for over year Fast the firm has sold beef
at loss of more than seventeen cents a
head, and the company handled con-
sfderably over four hundred thousand cat
tie the total deficit amounts to quite a
round sum. Very few commercial cOfnbina-
tions on this moneymaking globe would
have persevered so long and so unprofit-
ably, and for that exhibition of unfaltering
desire to see that everybody who wanted
beef and had money enough to pay for it
got what they wanted, there should be I'M
stinted popular commentator. Secretary
Morton ought not to hesitate even for an
hour. nor should any beef eater stop to
think twice before contributing literally
toward the erection of monument to the
firm which says it lost $4,000 on beef in
1894 but which managed to exist on the
six million or more of dollars it gathered
in the last time Mr.. Armour cornered the
pork market.

New York's opposition to the overhead
trc Hey is bearing precisely the same fruit
as has made its appearance in Washington.
Persistently, and for a long time, the over
he ad-trolley syndicate has been doing its
utmost to blockade New Yorks streets
with poles and wires, and only the most
persistent opposition could have discour-
aged that combination which seems to have
no thought for anything but its own finan-
cial welfare. Yesterday the state railroad
&C mmissioners met and considered the joint
application of the Metropolitan Street Rail-
road Company and the Sixth Avenue Rail
read Company for permission to install an
underground electric system. 1t was made
evident to the commissioners that the sys-
TEN was in every respect satisfactory and
upon the showing made the authority asked
for by the companies was granted. With
the installation of such system in New
York apj the operation of similarly applied
motive force on the lines of the Metropol-
itan Company in this city will vanish the

Those newspapers published in Alexan-
dria county that have not as yet seen fit
to condemn the villainy which complainant
county officials permit to run riot in the
vicinity of Rosslyn and Alexander Island
and st. Asaph are missing great opportu-
nifty to do righteous thing. That the
presence of the race-tracks. the gambling
hells and the saloons puts into circulation
in the county great deal of desirable
currency is urdoubted, and that some few
people who are neither race-sharps nor
bunco-steerers nor Illegal vendors of intoxi-
cants are benefited thereby is unquestiona-
bly, true; but are those apparent advan-
tages real? The bitter experience of COM
munities that for awhile were deceived by
sophistry of the purely financial sort is on
record to show that the losses outnumber
and outweigh the gains so considerably
that the gamblers scale is on level with
the beam. II the Alexander county news
papers would join hands with the two
newspapers of Washington that are now
engaged in making a conscientious and de-
termined fight against the evils that are
giving to Alexandria county the vile repute
enjoyed for years by such a resort as Glou-
cester, the work of reform would undoubt-
eddy be fastened.

Sociologists who devote especial attention
to the study of conditions that spring out
of race prejudices will find much enter
tanning and instructive matter in an inter-
view, published in this issue of The Star
which deals with racial complication In
which the colored people of the District of
Columbia are especially concerned. Ever
Stree the management of the Atlanta ex-
position invited the colored people of the
District to contribute toward a great race
exhibit, the local commission has had to
meet the objections of those who insisted
that the negro was not really wanted at
Atlanta: that colored Washingtonians
would. In common with all other colored
people visiting that city. be compelled to
ride in Jim Crow cars and be annoyed
by many other humiliating determinations
The commissioning will be seen by Mr..
Hilyer's talk-has wisely concluded to go
directly ahead with the work of preparing
an exhibit; the ground taken being that the
exposition will afford an opportunity to
show to the world the tremendous mental
strides taken In a comparatively short
period in spite of the hindrances that are
every day apparent The showing to be
made at Atlanta by colored residents of the
national capital cannot but work bene-
ficially, for comparison with other exhibits
that are the products of Caucasian skill
will open the eyes of many who, up to this
time, have been wilfully blind. To refrain
from participation would be to miss a most
valuable opportunity for educating large
number of those white people who really
have no idea as to what the properly-edu-
Gated negro can do amid such surroundings
as are his at the seat of government. Even
in Washington there is good deal of ex-
traordinary ignorance as to the forward
movement of civilization among those who,
but a generation ago, were without any
educational advantages whatever. The in
terview with Mr.. Hilyer should be profit
able reading for many people whose knowl-
edge is inexcusably limited.

wnshington's Charming Shade Trees

Wash Cor. New York Tribune.
The admirable plan of Washington,
which combines says an old circular,
printed in the latter part of the last century,
rot only conveniences, regularity, elegance
of prospect and a free circulation of air.
but everything grand and beautiful that
can be introduced into city, is never
more evident than in the spring, when the
budding foliage softens the outlines and
adds a new beauty. From the appearance
of the crocuses until frost, the public
squares are great flower gardens, beautiful
ly laid out and exquistely kept. But the
chief charm, and what makes Washington
remarkable among the cities of the world
is her trees, which line the. streets, and rem
der riding and walking, even In the torrid
weather of summer. pleasure. The plant
ing of trees was systematically begun I'M
der the regime of the board of public works
in 1872. In the centennial year there were
over 5000 trees planted, and each year
since hundreds. have been put in the
ground There are something like 500 diff
ferent species and varieties.
The results that have been obtained in
the last thirty years are marvellous.

One year ago and this city was much dis
turhed because of the unwelcome presence
within its borders of the host of generally
undesirable men brought hither by the cal
culating and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Jacob
s. Coxey. Business conditions at that time
were probably trifie worse than they now
are and to the more thoughtful among us
there were apparent many dangerous prob
abilities following closely in the train of
the Army of the Commonweal. Locally,
though, the invasion was unusually, even
phenomenally, interesting because the
horde Of ill-fed and unwashed visitors loud
ly announced their intention of compelling
the people Of this community to furnish
the commonwealers with subsistence;
threat that for awhile was carried into
execution. Today Coxey has been almost
forgotten by the District of Columbia; the
mention of his name provokes nothing
more serious than smile. for in the year
that has gone by since he made his de-
monstration he has failed utterly to live up
to the professions he so vociferously scat
tered abroad; the light of twelve months
observation reveals him in his true char
acter-a character in which selfishness is
the most conspicuous feature. That Coxey
should soon have vanished Is, after all,
not surprising, for from the beginning of
his pilgrimage he never had the earnest
assistance of any man Of consequence. For
awhile he had great quantity OF vocal
support of sort, but that-even when talk
was cheaper than 1t had ever been before
rapidly diminished into silence as 1t be-
came evident that Coxey's principal object
was lf-glorifcation with a view to ult-
mate proflt-poltical or otherwise. That
Coxey calculated upon securing the solid
support of the labor organizations was evil
dent. and he did find a few misguided men,
bers who announced themselves as his
disciples, but the overwhelming majority,
blessed with common sense, had no diff
Guilty in taking Mr.. Coxey's measure and
in making up their minds that the less Or
ganized labor had to do with such char
latan the better 1t would be for organized
labor. More interesting than any other
phase of the subject Is the fact that In so
short time man who created so much
of disturbance should have journeyed such
a great distance toward oblivion.
