1t seems pity that America, with all her
boastfulness of being the center of activity
in most of the mechanical arts, should fall
think of adopting the horseless carriage
that has today become common in the
streets of Paris as to attract little atten-
ton. The field for this form of motor in a
city with street surfaces Ike those of
Washington is too promising to be neg
lected. Already the thought of using one
or another form of the automatic vehicle
has occurred to the managers of some of
New York's great department stores, which
the maintenance of large stables of horses
for their delivery departments. 1t is esti-
mated that the petroleum carriage can be
economically substituted for the wagon
drawn by horses, and there are many other
ways of utilizing in commerce this new
development ofthe genius of the inventor.
1t is stretch of the imagination to pic
ture the streets of the large cities of the
world in ten years as so filled with these
mechanical motors that the sight of a
horse drawing vehicle will be curiosity
as great as was the first safety bicycle
about ten or twelve years ago. This
MEANS of course, the abandonment of that
noble animal as a beast of burden, and al
ready the journals of the country are be-
ginning to discuss the future of the horse,
which, however hard pressed it may be by
mechanics, will never be wholly abandoned
by men, but will always be cherished as
the finest of the brute creation.

How things have changed in the west!
Only a few years ago and the Indian
whose title to the soil and the products of
nature could not honestly be Questioned
was practically monarch of the mountains
and the plains. He roamed at will and
lived mainly as the result of his activity
in the chase Yesterday there came from
Wyoming information to the effect that a
number Of Bannack Indians had been kill
ing game ''illegs lly' and that as the result
of that Illegal conduct an encounter had
resulted with some of the law-protectng
white people, in which one Indian was
killed and others injured; fifteen Indians
were arrested. No clearer evidence of the
change in far western conditions could be
furnished than the Incarceration of Rocky
Mountain Indians for killing the game
which to their forefatbers had been free as
the air they breath or the rushing tor
rents whence they captured fish for food
in season ard out Of season.

Alexander R. Shepherd has for a few
days, rCurned to the city of his making
Twenty years ago there was no more prom
tnent target for abuse and calumny than
Governor Shepherd. Many of the men who
were his short-sighted assailants at that
time now see more clearly and are among
his warmest admirers. About seven years
ago the ex-governor visited this city for
the first time since he departed to self
imposed exile in a foreign land. At that
time he was welcomed with such honors as
are paid by but few communities to even
the most distinguished individuals, and
there was no lack Of evidence as to the
esteem IN which he was held by the people
generally. Today there have been no cere-
monial welcomes nor has there been any
popular demonstration-the governor being
here merely on brief, flying vis.t-yet all
these things would have materialized with
ease had there been serious proposition and
opportunity to do public honor to the man
whose debtor Washington will always be-
He comes to enjoy some of the municipal
conditions he created and which but for his
courageous energy would not even now be
in existence. He would be more than hu-
man If he did not exult in tine contrast be-
tween the pleasant homecoming of today
and the departure In 1879. Rarely indeed
are monuments erected to living men,
therefore there is sno counterfeit present
me 1t of the great governor In any of our
parks-some of these days there will be
but there is less necessity for statue of
Alexander r Shepherd than would appear
at first glance. From the Capitol to every
boundary Of the territory set apart for the
seat of government there is one continuing
monument to the greatness and unflinching
devotion of the man who cheerfully sac
riiced his best interests that the plans of
those who founded the city of Washington
might materialize. All hail to him!

Warden Leonard of the District Jail will
do the right thing if he declines to grant
passes to witness the execution that is
probably to take place next Friday, except
TO those persons whose presence may be
necessary. The number of those who crave
to see human being launched by force
into eternity is discouragingly large. 1t is
astonishing that men of refinement and
intelligence should desGe to witness such a
terrible sight as thaAEhich attends the
execution of the most solemn sentence of
the law. How they reconcile their normal
views of life with this morbid taste is one
of the problems that puzzle every student
of humanity. 1t should be considered a
painful, distressing duty to be Obliged to
attend and witness such an event and yet
the demand for passes is on each occasion
many times as great as the capacity of the
jail will permit. The warden will confer a
benefit upon the community if he will ex-
clude all persons but those whose pres
ence the law requires, and disappoint the
desires OF the hundreds of people who
clam0r for permission to see poor weak
mortals destroyed, just as they might
struggle for places from which to witness
deadly battle between two brutss. The
law does not provide a death penalty for
the qualification of this terrible TASTE 1t
sentences the murderer to death in order
that his crime and its consequences may be
lasting lesson to the rest of mankind. as
well as to punish him for his infraction of
the laws of God and man.

hem laundrymen-asked just about as

them aundrymen-asked just about as
much In the way Of remuneration as was
demanded by their Caucasian competitors,
holding In reserve their great powers Of
retrenchment and reduced rates until
smaller profits should be compelled by
keener competition. This time seems to
have arrived in the District of Columbia
for now large number of Americans who
are employed by American laundry pro-
prietors find themselves startlingly menaced
by the cut-rate opposition Of the Chinese
clothes-washers. In all ages man has been
inclined to buy what he needed in the
cheapest market, and 1t is this inclination
which gives to the local Chinese laundries
support for the lack of which many Amer
lean men and women are now actually suf-
fering. Those who patronize Chinese laun-
dries make no allegations of overcharging
or inferior workmanship against the laun-
dries with which they have elected not to
deal, so 1t is fair to presume that the rates
assessed by the American operators are
not unreasonable in themselves. The con-
ditions under which Chinese of the laun-
drymen class live cannot be borne by self
respecting Americans, so competition-if
it comes down to that's entirely out Of
the question. Most of the patrons of Chi
nese laundries are men who have to toll
with their hands; If they would only have
little practical consideration for the fell
low-beings with whom they have racial
fellowship they would undoubtedly do
great good without working any injustice
even to the Chinaman, who Is here with

The law commands the removal of Illegal
distractions from the street. the abate-
ment of nuisances, and the enforcement of
the prohibition against the lexington road
of the use of overhead wires within the city
limits. No court has and no court ever will
forbid municipal officers to abate nuisances
and enforce law. One court has specifically
refused to restrain the Commissioners from
performing their duty in the lexington
railroad case. Are they nevertheless re-
strained. just as effectually as if the law
were not clear and the court had decided to
restrain? Can a law-breaker evade and
suspend the law by asking a court to re-
strain an official from interfering with him,
and by appealing when the court refuses?
Wall the Commissioners meekly permit the
continued illegal use of the overhead wires j?
If they feel that they may not cut down
the poles, is there nothing else that they
can do?

Boston is being blessed just now by the
presence within it of the most healthful
sort of enthusiasm. 1t has been estimated
by conservative statisticians that there are
seyenty-fve thousand members of the
United Society of Christian Endeavor in
the big Massachusetts city today. The En-
deavorerS have been for some days past
and still are assembled in annual conven-
ton to transact the business which must
be attended to in order that the good work
which En6eavorers everywhere are doing
may be continued with added industry and
even more satisfying success than has been
known in the prior history of the organiza-
ton. But while these seventy-five thousand
young people-for. most of them are in full
enjoyment of youthful vigor-are intent on
business matters, they are none the less
deeply interested in the people whose guests
they to some extent are, and as evidence of
this interest bands of Endeavorers toll ear
ly and late for the betterment of those
Bostonians who seem to need advice and
encouragement not only as to religious but
as TO worldly matters. In every quarter of
old Boston have been heard the inspiring
songs and prayers of the Endeavorers and
IL Is safe to say that the city will be much
the better for having entertained the great
hest which represents the crusaders spirit
of the Protestant church. Next year the
convention will be held in Washington, and,
unless all the signs fail, there will be more
than hundred thousand of the missionary
element assembled for consultation and
eVangelistic work at the national capital

coined and we'll cared for goes without say

1t is gratifying to note the active interest
which is being displayed by the Treasury
Department authorities in the new city
post-office building. The department itself
will, of course, decide whether in its opin-
ion it will be better to have the contractors
continue their efforts to construct or itself
take charge Of the work, but the general
public cares only for the construction and
is entirely unconcerned as to who conducts
the opera tons. The governments ener-
getic interference will doubtless in any
event quicken the work from this time
until completion. There is no reason why
the United States government with all its
financial greatness should have to wait so
much longer for its needed buildings than
would any corporation or private individual

When residents on the Pacific slope made
loud complaint of the aggressive indus
try of the Chinaman, many eastern people
failed to appreciate the dimensions and
character of the grievance and We're rather
inclined to believe that the Chnaman was
imposed upon and misrepresented by the
rough and idle elements with whose well
fare Celestial meekness and commercial
tenac.ty in some way or other interfered.
