IMPROVED BRAKES WANTED

Much has been said by the public, the
newspapers, and by officials in rega rd
to tenders for street cars, and yet IL is q
fact that upon the trolley lines a greater
number of deaths have resulted from run
away cars, due to defective brakes,
than from lack OF tenders.
Trolley roads are built with steep grades
where the land is uneven, and any acci.
dent to brakes is almost certain TO result
in loss of life and limb, as at Pfttsburg
yesterday, where a car had a fearful race
down grade aud finally jumped into a
ravine, with the result Of three persons
horribly mangled and killed and a dozen
terribly injured. The brake rod parted.
and of course a coroner's jury will dis
cover that no'one was to blame. Such ac-
cidents have happe ned frequently on
Washington lines, and it is only by the
greatest good luck that loss OF life has
been usually avoided.
The fender is all right. Its employment
Is properly made imperative. But i'm
proved brakes upon the up hill nd down
dale roads are even more empha tically
demanded. II the District authorities can
compel their adoption let them do it. II
legislation be needed let it be urged
Nothing is clearer than that passengers
upon the poorly equipped trolley car are
in constant danger OF injury or destruc-
tion.

MAY NOW RETuRN.

| One good result OF the departure of Presi-
dent Cleveland from Buzzard's Bay will be
the freedom of the fish to return safely to
their usual sw INNING grounds. 1t is stated
upon reliable authority that no sooner do
the fish of any water find out from certain
peculiar methods of casting bait that the
President is at the reel than they imme-
diately hold an executive session and con-
clude TO fool him by migrating.
Possibly the stories of the Presidents s
prowess as a fisherman may be exag-
| gerated. 1t has been noticed that whenever
| Secretary Thurber accompanies him he
never fails to make big catch. Mr. Thur
ber's imagination is always loyal to his
| chief, and much of the terrible destruc-
{ tion Of fish alleged to be the work of the
Presidents hook may be due to the active
| operation of the esteemed private secre-
| 5ary's tongue.
However that may be, 1t is evident the
fish were "onto" the President, who has
been forced to remain at Buzzards Bay
| from early June TO the ides OF October.
and fiji about over vast marine territory
| to get the requisite quantity OF sport to
| fit his mind for dealing with the great
national and international questions, in
regard to " hich he W ill soon send message
TO Congress.
One can imagine the festal convention
which will now take place among the fish
| OF the Massachusetts coast. Not only the
gamey rock and blucfish and tautog and
bass viii let down the bars OF race preju-
| dice and capcr nimbly with each other to
such music as the sirens may youchsafe
them, but the big fish that prey on the
little ones win for the time lay aside
their cannibal propensities and leap and
gambol and churn the waves 10 foam in
Joy that their territory is restored to them,
ind that their only foes are of their own
genus.
Let US rejoice " i,h them. The fish and
the country are to be congratulated that
each now has its own.

The record of fatalities among Alpine
climbers this summer is appalling. Nearly
two hundred German tourists met death in
the mountains, and twenty-eight from Ber-
lin in addition. The Bavarian mount ain
eers regard the risk of life involved in
climbing the high peaks as a kind Of In
sanity which they call AIpenkraxrn.
The Duke of Marlborough is having the

Upon several occasions The Times has
called attention to the superior induce

him to invest heavily In the lands lying in
the vicinity Of Great Falls. Every manu-
facturer from the North that has come here
and taken look around has expressed
surprise that these magnificent opportuni-
ties should have been permitted to remain
unused SO long. A Massachusetts, manu-
facturer, who was in the city some years
ago, remarked that Lowell and FaIl River
had no such water power as that furnished
by the Great Falls.
There is every reason to believe that
manufacturers could be induced to put up
factories and mills here If the initiative
were taken by washington's business men.
1t is a matter to which the board of trade
might turn its attention most profitably,
and, as the representatives of the city's
business interests, its action would have
unusual weight.

SOUTH CARoLINA'S PLAN.

Excise board, commissioners. temper
ancc people, and advocates of the right
to sell and drink liquor are all deeply con-
oerned in the solution of the license prob
lem and in the proposed investigation
OF the purity or adulteration OF stimu-
iating beverages.
Every serious suggestion has its value.
The old methods of license aud police sur
veillance a nd inspection have not re-
suited in that honest and legal use of the
privilege of dealing in drinks, or in that
circumspect style of drinking, which is
aimed at by reputable liqu or sellers
themselves, who continually suffer from
the operations of the unscrupulous and
outlaw class.
In this emergency it might be well.
II for mere educational purposes, for the
Commissioners to recommend to Congress
the discussion of some new regulation of
the liquor traffic. The South Carolina
experiment, which has caused such wide
spread argument, might be worth can
vaSsing. If the government recognizes
O necessity for the sale of liquors and
those of absolute purity, many argue that
IL would be best for it TO own and oper-
ate its own stock md sales rooms and
then sell the best beverages at such prices
as would result in the desired rcve nue..
OF course there would be no selling by
the drink TO bc quaffed on the premises.
The social bar and wineroom would disap-
pear. Drinking would have to be done
In private The festive custom of treat
ing would at once become obsolete. Every
man would make his own cockta lis.
The private citizen would be forced to
take instruction from ex- ba rtenders in
the mysteries of the seductive mint julep
and the glorious color effect OF the pousse
cafe. Beer would be sold only in bottles.
and could be kept only in the family re-
frigerator. These are but n few phases
of the revolution that would follow govern
ment control of the sale Of intoxicants.
France and Italy and Spain mOnopolize
the manufacture and sale OF tobacco. In
Scandinavia governments exercise super
vision OF the safe of liquor only less abso-
lutte than the South Carolina plan. II
local authoritics are so greatly exercised
as they seem to be in regard to some re-
form of the present system 1T might not
be amiss to suggest to Congress study
of the plan in vogue in the Palmetto State.

LETTERS BY TELEGRAPH.

Experiments which have been made re-
Gently with machine telegraph inventions
have proved beyond doubt that speed in
sending messages will soon be SO increased
that the cost will be vastly lessened.
The great obstacle now in the way of
cheap telegraphy is the time occupied by the
operator, who, if expert must be paid n
good salary. The only way TO surmount it is
by an increase in the speed OF instruments,
almost beyond possibility of Improvement.
Several inventions are now in the field
which enable anyone who can operate a
ypewriting machine TO indite his own
message, or better, place it upon the trans
mitter and send it at L speed of hundreds
of words per minute
That this will revolutionize the tele-
graphing business can hardly be doubted.
As charges decrease the length of messages
will increase, and it is logical to assume
that the great bulk of business correspond
ence, and possibly even of friendly letters.
will at no distant day be sent by electric
wire.
Such a revelation will affect receipts from
the postal to an extent that cannot be
estimated, and therefore 1t emphasizes
tremendously the argument that the Gov
ernment should purchase OF construct tel
egraph lines, and conduct them for its own
benefit, as all OF the advanced nations
across the Atlantic have done.
1t must seem almost incredible to foreign
economists that great and shrewd nation
like the United States, should permit its
millions of patrons of the telegraph to be
at the mercy of corporations whose greed
is their religion.

Throwing aloft their radiant spray;

Who sat where the dashing waters fall
Here is q photo to look upon,
In which is the face of every one,
But color, and sunshine, and life are gone

The Joyous thrill OF the hearts glad bound
The laughing shout that went the round,
The shifting cataract's SILVER crown,
The double sunlight that burned you brown,
These the camera failed to take down
Just the contrast OF black and white:
Dead, heavy shades with patches of light;
Only the ninglng of day and night.

A picture for each to carry away
With colors, with sunshine, with dashing

With music of waters as white foam flew

The toilsomc descent to the waters edge,
The heated climb up the ROCKY ledge.
The winding path and the swinging bridge;
The deep canal with grassy side.

Up and down the old boats ride:
The evening. sky, the sunset glow:
The nlirrorcu wood in the pond below,
