STREET CAR LEGISLATION.

Economy in street car fare Is OF great inn
portanoe TO working people, and IL street
car companies would change their sched-
Ules SO as TO charge for long and short rides, 4,
it would be a saving to many. No one
objects serious sly 10 paying five cents for
ride to the suburbs OF the city, but it
seems like extortion to charge that amount
for transportation for two or three blocks.
1t Is perhaps useless TO broach this ques-
tion at present, but it is one To be given
consideration, and in the general recon-
strUction OF street railway legi Station,
which is sure TO come in the future, an
effort should be made TO obtain a three
cent rate for short rides.
The Times has before recommended that
Congress impose a per capita tax on the
passenger traffic of our street railways.
The bulk of their receipts comes from the
wages Of working people, and it is but
justice that a part OF their earnings be
turned over to the treasury to lessen their
burden Of taxation. This policy is in force
most other places, and there is special
reason for IL here, inasnIuch as Washington
street car companies are given greater
license and enjoy more privileges than are
accredited in any other city in the world.

LABOR DAY.

The near approach OF Labor Day heightens
the expectation OF the public and increases
the duties of those who have in charge the
work OF preparing for its proper observ-
ance. Organized labor throughout the
country Will make il an occasion for
demonstrating to the world the inde-
pende nee, loyalty, and intelligence of
American wage-earners, and the day will
also give opportunity to show the strength.
unity, and good fellowship that prevails
IN the ranks of those who labor for hire.
1t is especially gratifying 10 know that
organized labor in this city is looked upon
as the fountain head OF labor reform. All
important national laws that confer benefits
on those who toll have been urged through
Congress by resident labor leaders, and even
Labor Day was legalized at their instiga-
iion. Their knowledge OF the requirements
necessary TO legislation at the National
Capital has fitted them Tor the work OF
crystaliEing labor sentiment SO that il may
appear on our statutes, and because Of their
opportunities and unselfish endeavors these
leaders have Acquired a national reputa-
tion.
Labor Day in Washington will be ub-
served with more than usual dignity and
Importance. Greater care will be taken
TO show the public that organization is

Cruelty tO Horses,

Editor Times: In these days of torrid
temperature, with the thermometer at
125 degrees in the sun, it is distress
ing sight to see so many horses on F street
belonging to business men standing with the
abominable overcbeck, their heads drawn
up into most painful position and their
eyes exposed TO the glaTing sun. There
they stand, not for minutes, but for hours
in some cases, enduring torture, while their
owners are comfortable inside q building.
There is no law against the cheek-rein,
but there Is law against torturing or tor
menting an animal And why should
the owners OF these horses escape when
negro or poor man is fined for lesser
offense. A celebrated English yeteri-
nary, Dr. Fleming, says: The tight check
rein frets the temper of nervous, excita-
Bile horses and shortens the lives of all"
Another horse trainer says. The over
draw check should be prohibited by law"
We hope the day viii come when law
be passed against its use In the meantime
the Humane Society would be justified in
taking measures to stop this worst form of
cruelty. N. L. w.

The sensation relative TO the dis

YER dollars left in the Safe Treasury

Mr.. CO1burn seems to have an idea
that no such money was coined in the

Who Sailed 'em?

When the defense in the Honey case
took samples Of the sewer and also
Of AtheIton's potato patch, they went
as high as So a ton. G.eat stress
was laid on this proposition until the
Government took samples from the
identical places the defense had
chosen, and the samples were taken
in the presence Of representatives of
the defense,
The Government assays, however,
failed to come up to the $52 a ION
standard. Out Of twelve assays the
highest was a little over S. a ton and
the lowest nothing. Four showed a
trace Of gold and silver and five moth
ing. The samples were kept sealed
from the time they were taken to the
time they were assayed. and the do
Tense were notified that the samples
were still at their disposal. They de
clined the offer. Under the circum-
stance it is plain that the samples
which We're left exposed on Coffin's
stoop at hight, were sailed.
They were in open cans, and the
question now arises, Who sailed those
samples? Certainly not Coffin, as he
wouldn't, in his sober senses do any
work as coarse as that. The only in.
ference is that some n unfriendly tC
Coffin slipped up in the dark of the
moon and sailed the samples. There
were high winds from the Southeast
during that time and it is quite pos.
sible that some one had some Mint
gold exposed and the wind probably
blew it into those open cans. Paris
Ellis, Gov. Jones and D. A. Bender
live up that way and possibly they
left the gold exposed to the mountain
blasts. These gentlemen should come
forward and explain what they are
doing with Mint gold and relieve Mr.
Coffin of any unjust suspicion.

interfere He might as we'll deny the
right of Russia to oppose the en-
croachment of Austria upon the do
minions of the Porte. Our right to
interfere depends entirely upon
whether or not we feel ourselves to
be menaced. If we are menaced, or
think we are, the right to interfere is
established. It is our clear right to
maintain such existing conditions that
tends to our disadvantage. Mr.. Olney
was at great pains in his dispatch to
show how the occupation of VENUE
Ian soil by the British government
was bound to operate to our injury,
and his statement is thoroughly sens
ible, logical and coherent. If Great
Britain, by maintaining this dispute,
by letting it go on from year to year,
from decade to decade, by declining,
now on one preteXt and now on an
other, to bring it to an issue and set
tie it fairly and peacefully, has, as
matter of fact, extended her preten-
sions, advanced her line of settlement
and moved her outposts further and
further upon the land that rightfully
belongs to Venzuela, any European
nation with an American sovereignty
can do the same thing and we shall
presently find ourselves, as Mr.. Olney
justly says, confronted everywhere
With European systems of govern
ment, European Notifications and
battlements, and not our relations
with our American neighbors only,
but our domestic concerns as well,
will be subject to the menace of Eu
ropean schemes of aggrandizement.-

THE PRESIDENT is RIGHT.

President Cleveland's message to
congress is a faithful reflection Of the
American people. Public opinion
throughout the country will cordially
sustain the policy he proposes. He
has assumed precisely the position
which the interests of the country
require and the only position that is
consistent with its dignity and safety.
Secretary Olney's note discussing the
Venzuela boundary dispute and the
character and extent of our concern
in it commands high admiration and
will be regarded, we think, as among
the most eloquent and important of
the great documents which have ema
mated from our state department. AS
a Justification of the request we have
made for the submission of the ques-
ton to an impartial arbitration and
the presidents decision, that request
being now refused, to enter on IN in
dependent examination and 20 resist,
even by force of arms, the occupation
of Great Britain of territory westward
of the line which we discover to be
the true boundary between British
Guiana and Venzuela, Mr.. Olney's
dispatch is unanswerable.
Lord Salisbury's attempt to answer
IL Is simply a denial of our right to
