Overhead trolley lines will soon SUPER
sede steam OF the Mount Holly branch of
the Pennsylvania railroad and two or
three other of the great railroad corpora
tions are figuring on the advantages to be
derived from similar substitution of power
Wherever the railroads have been COM
PEELED to do the best they could to meet the
competition of trolley roads it has inyari-
ably been proven that electricity was much
the cheaper motor and could in every sense
of the term get away with the more pom
derous and very much more expensive
steam equipment. 1t is therefore reason
able to imagine that for short runs. at
least on roads where the suburban traffic
is heavy, the electric current will take the
place of steam; to the cheapening of rates
and the satisfaction of patrons. Electric
travel is much the more clearly, and when
the poles and wires are so situated as to be
unobstructive the new method is decidedly
the best. Locally there should be interest
in the change which the Pennsylvania Com
pany is about to make on its Mount Holly
branch. for It is probable that there will
be similar procedure as to the Pennsyl-
Yania's business between this city and AL
$xandria. Up to this time there has been
entire absence Of announcement by The
company as to such Transformation. but

The managers of the various presidential
boomS that are now engrossing public at
tention should Immediately secure from
Secretary Morton number of copies of an
Interesting pamphlet issued a few months
ago by the Weather Bureau, from the pen
of Prof. McAdie, on the subject CT protec-
tion from lightning. The great effort of
these managers now seems to be to put
their own favorltes directly in the path of
the political lightning which will be sure to
strike some one between now and the mid
die of November, 1885, In addition to this,
of course, they have a desire to keep every
one else out of the same track, and hence
there Is a good deal of maneuvering and
scheming being done by these managers to
erect lightning rods, so to speak, over all
the individuals in whose interests they are
not now engaged. To some people it looks,
for instance, as though Mr.. Foraker had
constructed an effective rod over Mr.. Nc
Kinley, and his political fortunes, which
protects that statesman against presiden-
tial lightning. But the Foraker rod, since
1t was erected without the aid of the sug-
gestions of Prof. McAdie may prove de-
fective, and the lightning may yet strike
Mckinley.

Most Americans who have paid any at
tentlon to the birth and growth of he
New Woman have probably supposed that
she really was new and have forgotten
Solomon's unvarying statement Of the COM
plete absence of anything like novelty un-
der the sun. The so-called New Woman
has beeh a social feature in Belgium for a
great many years, yet strangely enough
she has existed not among the specially re-
fined but among the working classes. In
the vicinity of Ghent woman is theoretical
ly and practically triumphant; she is the
leader the protector; and she is so because
she is better financier than the man. As
rule these Belgian women do not marry
until they are quite thirty years of age
and as they invariably work in factories
from the time their school-days come to
an end they are in fairly prosperous condl-
tion when the time comes that they feel
impressed with the necessity of taking to
themselves husbands. They select their
own husbands just as the American woman
hopes to. and as some American women
who do not aspire to be known as of the
new variety-have unostentatiously sue
ceeded in doing. Once in awhile the young
Belgian man says he is willing to be a
brother to the lady who has honored him
by marriage proposition, but the rule Is
acceptance, for the shrewd proposer inva-
riably selects an associate who is younger
than herself, and who has displayed mental
pliability. Throughout the entire operation
the male seems to play a secondary part
The woman selects the house in which they
are to live, purchases the furniture, COM
plies with the requirements Of the law as
to published notices Of the wedding, and
without consulting her mate makes all the
preliminary arrangements. Everything
having been settled to the satisfaction of
the bride-elect, the groom-prospective is
told to hold himself in readiness for the
ceremony. 1t is to the credit of the Belgian
woman that she treats her husband kindly
and regards him as her most highly-valued
possession. VIII the new American woman
do as much?

1t seems to be definitely understood that
with the incoming of July there will be
radical reforms inaugurated in the i'm
portant matter of garbage collection. The
information will be cordially greeted by all
thinking residents of the District of Co
lurnbla, for of the many things municipal
that are in need of reform none can claim
to outrank methods of garbage collec-
tion and disposal. The problem is a most
serious one and is worthy the closest at
tention, official aud unofficial. Announce
ment has been made to the effect that the
authorities will insist upon the fulflmenl-
in the spirit and the letter-of every speci-
fication in the contract, and that short
comings will result in the instant assess
ment of the penalties for the collection of
which provision has properly been made.
But unless the general public is thoroughly
aroused to the necessity for absolute clean
liness and does what it ought in contribut-
ing toward the success of better plans than
any with which the people of Washington
have had experience, the contractors must
necessarily fail. AT this time a great many
complaints are being made as to the gar
bage service, and a large proportion of the
grievances that find expression and secure
attention at the Health Office are urdoubt-
edly founded upon the carelessness or
worse of the contractors or their agents,
but all of the responsibility is not on one
side the people who fail to respond when
the signal sounds or who keep their alley
doors closed when they should be open
must bear some of the burden. Health Of
fcer Woodward has announced his inten-
ton of compelling, IL such a thing be nee
essary, the obedience of both contractors
and householders, and in his effort to i'm
prove conditions that are now far from
ideal he will undoubtedly have the sincere
sympathy and support of the major por-
ton of the community. There is not now
anything unreasonable in the garbage regu-
lations. Those necessary commandments
have been framed with the one object in
view of creating and sustaining a first
class service, and while there iuay be ap-
pearance of hardship in some of the indi-
vidual Instances that will arise to bother
the authorities and those with whom they
have to deal, II is not believed that there
can be any serious difference of opinion or
any conflict over mere technicalites. The
general health of the city should be a mat
ter of supreme interest to every Washing
tonian: to be unconcerned as to the welfare
OF neighbors is to be unfit for latter-day
association with civilized beings. Healthful
conditions can only be achieved through CO.
operative vigilance, so it should be the duty
of the authorities to impress upon the pub
lie the necessity for keeping close watch
on the garbage contractors and at the
same time have the contractors under
stand that the public too needs watching
If each of the parties concerned will be
watchful of the other and will promptly re-
port such weaknesses as doubtless will de-
velop, then Washington WILL more than
ever. be the most desirable urban place of
residence in the United States.
