The overhead trolley Is always doing
something to embarrass its friends and as
tonish the public generally. Its latest
freak was to achieve such disordered con-
dition as resulted in shocking to extended
Inconsistencies Brooklyn motorman, al
though it has been repeatedly asserted by
so-called experts that even the full force Of
the current used could do nothing more
than tickle the most sensitive nerves. Here
In Washington overhead trolley wires are
scarce and they will soon be more difficult
to find than they now are, but one of the
few managed last week to disable number
of fire-alarm boxes and thus bring about a
condition that might easily have been ex-
tremely serious.

One of New York's police justices has
in the course of his judicial business de-
veloped situation which suggests the plot
of new comic opera Of the Gilbert and
Sullivan order. A woman appeared before
him the other morning to complain that her
husband had abandoned her and her chill
dren and contributed nothing to their sup
port. She asked that he should be ordered
by the court to pay a certain sum for the
maintenance Of his family. and the judge,
who was quite willing, asked the usual
question as to the nature Of the mans
business. The wife promptly explained
that her husband was an all-round crook;
that he had never done anything else but
steal and up to a recent time had sup
ported her by the proceeds of his pilferings.
Not long ago he had finished a two years
term at Sing SiEg for stealing watch.
The husband. who was in court, admitted
tt at his wife had told the truth and agreed
to pay her any sum that the court might
order. This put new phase on the case
and the justice postponed it in order to
take time to consider the best way out of
the difficulty. The woman's plant was evil
deItly just Her husband was willing to
support her and the obvious course of the
law was to order him to do so. In one
sense the court could hardly scrutinize his
methods of securing a livelihood, depend
ing upon the officers of the peace to pre-
vent him from doing anything wrong. At
the same time his confession rendered 1t
extremely likely that he would proceed to
carry out the orders Of the court by
renewed raids on the property Of other
people Indeed. one complex feature of the
case was the possibility that the judge
himself might be forced to contribute to
the support of his petitioner. At last ac-
counts the justice was still bordering.

Perhaps by this time Senator Hill feels
satisfied that he Numbered when he de-
feated the nominations of Peckham and
Hornblower to the Supreme bench. OF
course in defeating President Cleveland
choice in a matter Of so much Importance
Senator Hill paid off some old political
debts but In his anxiety to do this he pos
sibly overreached himself trife. More
than anything else, Senator Hill would like
to defeat the income-tax law and this re-
suit would surely have been achieved had
either Peckham or Hornblower been on the
Supreme bench in place of White. for both
the New Workers are anti-income tax men.
Political revenge may be sweet sometimes,
but once in awhile 1t is expensive.

yerSity.
1t would be a long step forward in popu-
larizing higher education If the government
should establish at Washington a great
rational university. AS at oxford or at
Cambridge there are historic colleges with
foundations running back for hundreds Of
years, and each having its own traditions,
but all part of the university. so in every
state there would be colleges, each one of
them having its own merits and traditions.
and all of them belonging to the grand
university which will represent the culture
of the rev world, the University Of the
