There was a time when District of Co
lumbia juries were credited with doing
some extraordinary things in the way of
deducing remarkable verdicts from testi-
mony that to the general public seemed
to be on the other side of the case. but
there never was jury in Washington
more properly subject to criticism than the
twelve wise men of Gotham. who recently
returned verdict of $50 damages in a case
where boy had been killed by collision with
an ice wagon. Judge Pryor. before whom
the case was tried. promptly set aside the
verdict, saying: IF the jury had found
verdict for the defendant L would not have
disturbed it. as the question was pretty
evenly balanced, but having found for the
plaintiff. and having assessed the value of
the life of this boy at $50, about the price
of a poodle dog. think the verdict should
be set aside. 1 infer that there is no father
on this jury who WOULD consider that the
value of his son. And public opinion is
surely with the judge.

Dream" but 1t seems poor policy for the
czar to give public expression to such an
opinion. He did it yesterday, though, in a
speech made to a large number of deputa-
items which had journeyed to ST. Peters,
burg to congratulate the car and the
czarina upon their marriage and to present
them with appropriate gifts. In the course
of his address he referred pointedly to the
fact that at some meetings of bodies which
act In an advisory capacity as to minor
local affairs, voices have been heard in
dicating the wish to realize absurd dreams
about representative ZemStvos participant

Washingtonians will undoubtedly ap-
prove the decision of the House Committee
on the District of Columbia to the
change of route of the Fourteenth street
branch of the Washington and George
town Street Railroad Company. The Star
has insisted that so much of traffic on
Fifteenth street. with transfer system
in operation at the most crowded point, Is
a menace to the safety of those who have
to walk or ride or drive past the east front
OF the Treasury building; 1T Furthermore
insisted that the remedy would be found in
running the Fourteenth street branch di-
rectly up Fourteenth street from Pennsyl-
vaIia avenue. After careful consideration.
the House District committee has come to
that same conclusion and will, at the first
opportunity, endeavor to put it's conclu-
sion into mandatory legislative FORM

Mr.. WnttersOn Calls a Halt.

From the Louisville CourerJournal.
All that the President says Is we'll and
truly said; particularly what he says about
silver. If a free-coinage bill could pass
into law, 1t would expel gold from the
country. 1t would MexicaniZe our cur
rency. 1t would not make money cheap,
but dear 1t would not make money plenty,
but scarce. In very little while. it's au-
thors would be engulfed by popular odum.
Because of this belief. the Courier-Journal
can not go that length in the vain hope
of rehabilitating silver. For ten years,
honestly, necessarily, we sought to do
what might be done by legislation to do
this. Silver went steadily down. Mistaken
as we were from first to last, our pur-
pose was for the best; and we have no
reason to regret the earnest effort we
made But we have reached a point
where, in our judgment, to go further Is
to invite ruin.

1t Is declared that Jerry Simpson regrets
that he is not taken seriously. To some
men it is a misfortune to have theories
and ideas which they proffer with the
most earnest irtentions lightly considered
and even smiled at On the other hand, it
is a stroke of rare good luck for many
men who are tossed into nCtoriety by the
tide of popular discomfort to have their
utterances gocd-naturedly contemplated as
ebullitions of unconscious humor. II Mr..
Debs could have persuaded the people that
the railway tie-up over which he presided
was funny he would probably not have
been in Jail today. But he went too far
to permit his achievement to be classified
as practical joke and the result was dis
astrous, as the world knows

1t Is gratifying that Secretary Gresham
has at last succeeded in securing for the
United States job as arbitrator; to be
sure il is only little one, but 1t Is some
thing of precedent. and if 1T Is properly
attended to it may result by and by In a
more important engagement. Many of the
tears that come easy have been shed. over
the hardness of heart displayed by nations
which were making faces at each other.
whenever Mr.. Gresham has suggested that
this administration was in the peace-mak-
ing business and would be pleased at any
time to expound the moral law and to
make plain all manner of obscure equities.
The first serious effort-which was arbi-
trary in character rather than arbitrative
made it's appearance in connection with
the Hawaiian difficulties that finally re-
suited in the birth of new republic. In
that case our government was rather dis
posed to insist upon being arbitrator in
spite of the protests of one of the dis
putants Then there was triangular diff
ference of opinion between Japan, China
and Corea, which Secretary Gresham
thought he could settle offhand to every
body's benefit Lately there has been de-
velopment of unfriendly warmth between
Mexico and Guatemala. which was re-
sdrueu as dnOtner cnance 10 nOlu the
scales of justice with one hand and with
the other choke of the dogs of war. In
each of the cases named the republic has
been snubbed; In every instance our ma
tional reprte has suffered because We were
toe anxious to NEEDLE in the concerns of
others. Now comes this touching display
of trustfulness on the part OF Italy and the
United States of Colombia. both Of which
nations have declared themselves willing
to have the executive powers Of this coun-
try combine to determine whether an
italian resident in the United States of
Colombia did or did not uisbehave him
self. and Is or In not legally imprisoned.
1t seems a petty. police court sort of
case. but 1t Is probably better than no
case at all.

The Weather and the Law.


From the Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.
1t is interesting to note that bill to pre-
vent highways from being blockaded with
snow has received favorable committee re-
port at Harrisburg. There Is a tendency In
many quarters to make light Of the modern
winter and to decry its rigors as summer
blows compared to those Of the winters OF
earlier years, but the experiences Of the
last two months have rather discouraged
this practice. When means to prevent the
drifting of snow in our country roads be-
come matters of state concern 1t Is high
time to begin treating the modern winter as
something else than a huge joke.

The Intellectual Kicker.
Oh, the man who always worries,
How he frets and fumes and fiurries,
Unassigned.
To a world who Sc share of trouble
Grows. until it's fully double,
In his mind.
He collects the nations taxes,
Keeps the politicians axes
On the grind;
Personally supervising
Each defeat and each uprising,
In his mind.
Ways to give all people money
And to have the whole world sunny
He will find:
Regulating sages, preachers,
Rulers and their various creatures.
In his mind.
On the ills of party faction
He'll discourse (but without action)
Till you're blind.
If you put him on his mettle
Every problem lie will settle,
In his mind.
He has kicked with such persistence
That he'll go from this existence
Unrepined;
But posterity will thank him:
With the great men it will rank him,
In his mind.
