STREET CAR TRANSFERS.

President Phillips, of the Metropolitan
Street Railway Company, would fain be a
law unto himself. His course in the matter
of the abrugation of transfers with the
Belt and lexington lines gives good ground
for this belief For Mr.. Phillips calmly
Ignores the Congress of the Unitcd States
and the statutes made and provided by
that august body. Perhaps be counts upon
the fact, unfortunately too well known,
that corporations are generally treated
very tenderly by the national legislature
hut it has been shown by The Times in
the case of the lexington line that occa-
sonally the rights of the public and the
letter of the law are made To be respected.
There shall be no more transfers, says
Mr.. Phillips. But Congress says: The
Metropolitan Railroad Company is hereby
authorized and required Immediately to
make reciprocal transfer arrangements
with street railroad companies whose lines
now connect with its lines, and to furnish
such facilities therefor as the public con-
venience may require" No words could
becompiled in The English language to make
more plain just what Congress meant that
the Metropolitan Railroad Company should

other mandatory, and is further emphasized

he now attempts to abolish were instituted

Pastor Smith Sees One in the Politics
of MaryIand


of Maryland.
Discerning signs of the times was the
topic of Rev. s. J. Smiths evening sermon
yesterday at the Central 81. Z. Church.
The words were the same as those in the
text, taken from Matthew Svi:3.
The minister took an optimistic view of
current events and commented on the history
of to-day, maintaining that men ought to
and do think for themselves in this age Of
the world.
In his enumeration of some of the signs
of the times, Dr. Smith mentioned as the
second that IL is evident that men are to-
day willing to act freely in the political
world. Voters are thinking for themselves
and want to do right.
Il am surprised and glad" remarked the
minister, THAT there are men in certain
counties in Maryland. men whom / have
long known, who should declare they are
willing to give up the party they have been
identified with for years for the sake of
doing what they believe is righteous and
stand up for the cause of right and justice.
1t means that politics ara going to be
purified and means that men are not going
to be controlled by people who care for
nothing but leadership and personal gain."
Dr. Smith rciatedamongot other encouraging
nineteenth century signs the tendency there
is in men TO organize. There Is no industry
under the sun the members of which have
not resolved themselves into an organiza-
ton to carry out their own principles.
he said.
The speaker hailed with delight the
efforts for the unificatfon of all creeds,
but a complete union Is, in his estimation,
far distant.

from which even the shadow OF authority
for disseminating them can be extracted.
President Phillips overlooks the fact,
furthermore, that by that section certain
rights are conferred upon the public. The
passengers on the lines of the Metropolitan
Company have right to demand from it
transfers for the lines connecting with it,
and if they are refused may sue the company
for damages. Mr.. Phillips cannot enjoy
the privileges of public franchise with
out fulfilling the obligations which the
granting of 1t imposes upon him.

The director was passing along street,

him from the doorway of one or the

directly on the street, and struck him
violent blow over the right eye with a
heavy iron bar, Telling him to the ground
and infiicting a serious wound.
Evidently thinking that the blow had
been a fatal ore. the negro fled, and de-
spite the efforts OF the police to apprehend
him. he is still at liberty.
1t is sur!nised that the attack grew out
of the attitude OF the Diario de la Marina
toward the insurgents. nd that the would

It is rather curious that thirty years
after the close Of the war it is so diff
cult to determine the exact date when
it ceased. The interior department
has just held that the war closed July
1, 1865, when the blockade of the
Southern ports was raised. The Su-
preme Court has assigned August 20,
1866, as the end of the war. The coun-
try generally has always accepted the
date of the surrender at Appomatox,
April 8, 1865, as the true close Of the
war. Many soldiers have asserted that
the proper date for the ending Of the
war was the date Of the last armed
conflict between troops, which occur
red early in the summer of 1865 on the
Rio Grande. Confederate officers have
contended that the war did not end
until the Shenandoah, the last of the
rebel privateers, sailed into the harbor
Of Liverpool and ran down her flag in
the summer of 1866.

and signal horn, which he shall sound

The growth and Importance of the
present movement in favor of munich
pal reform, now happily extending over
the entire country, is seen in the third
National Conference for Good City
Government and the first annual meet
ing of the National Municipal League
held a short time since at Cleveland.
The number of disinterested and patri-
otto men, both theorists, idealists and
practical workers in reform, present at
this meeting is a happy augury for the
future of reform in cities. The govern
ment of our cities has been a sad blot
upon the fair escutcheon Of the repub-
lie. BY means of such organiza tons
as these, and every rightly directed
effort for reform in this direction, we
shall confidently expect that the right
will prevail. The trouble with so much
of the reform effort is that it only tries
