Lower the Tenders.

The expected has happened. Last night
man was struck by a cable car on Penn
sylvania avenue; his skull was fractured
The result. which will probably be the
death Of the unfortunate pedestrian, Is not
going to surprise anyone; 1t has been dis
counted by great many people who have
noticed how far above the track the car
tenders have been carried. 1t is said that
the fender rode over the PROSTATE man,
who was then pushed off the track by the
wheel guard. On behalf of the company
1t may re claimed that the wheel guard
was effective and saved the man from be-
Ing ground beneath the wheels but that
sort of defense will limp badly If the man
dies because the fender was pitched so
high as to be useless. There is no sound
reason why the tenders should be drawn I'D
as they are; the streets are smooth and
there are no projections other than those
put there by the railway company, and
even these are hardly sufficient to be de-
nominated distractions The tenders should
be as low as is safely possible; they are
now so high as to be without value as
tenders.

A national conference in the interest of
such organization as may be necessary to
Dr1ng about permanent arbitration sys-
tenn between the United States and Great
Britain is to be held in this city April %
and q. Delegates will be here from all our
principal cities, and there is strong posi-
Diiity that substantial good may come out
OF the deliberations. A committee Of rep
resentative Westinghouse have charge
OF the local details, and is also engaged in
the broader business of promulgating the
doctrines Of arbitration. If British senti-
ment is really what it appears to be-. we
shall be met halfway by our distant rela-
tives; the indications all point in the right
direction. OF course there are some people
who do not like the idea of unbroken
peace. but they and their interests are but
few and Insignificant when compared with
those who would gladly celebrate the con-
summation Of an International agreement
rendering impossible a war between the
two great English-speaking nations The
poor man has always suffered through
strife, and while a few of the wealthy may
have been benefited by war. there is, never
theiess, an almost unanimous arbitration
sentiment among capitalists. In this
months issue Of the Bankers Magazine
eAA-S AAipoi tdll tUplC Is uiSCuSSeQ from the
standpoint of the moneyed man. After
touching upon the financial disturbances
which are always incident to war or ru-
mors of wars. the editor dwells upon the
expensive character of modern military
methods and of the vast amount of dam
age sure to be done. The argument for ar
bitration concludes by insisting that the So
called strong" government would not, I'M
der the new order of things be necessary.
that the dangers arising from socialism
and anarchy would be lessened-"for these
arise from poverty caused largely by ex-
cessive taxation" and that the prosperity
Of the whole earth would be enhanced.
1.-THE financial classes" says the editor,
"are lovers Of peace. yet they are obliged
more than any other to bear the burdens
and losses Of war. They should throw all
the weight of their influence directly and
Indirectly in favor of arbitration Of national
difficulties"

The truly national character of this city
Is receiving general recognition Now it is
the knights of Pythias who propose to add
to Washington's attractiveness; their care
fully-wrought idea being to have erected
here National Memorial Temple in honor
of the late Justus H. Rathbone, the Wash
1nStonlan who founded the order which is
now so influential for good. That it will
be worthy Of such powerful society is self
evident; it will doubtless be capacious, ele-
CANT In its appointments. INTELLECTUALLY
ht- The Pythians are wealthy, and they
are proud of their success; they may be
depended upon to avoid tawdry and cheap
construction. Ere long 1t will be unwritten
law for every organization Of note to have
headquarters where the general govern
ment has its center. Delightful place of
residence as Washington is now it will be
more beautiful and more desirable than
any other city in the world within a decade

Kansas City Gas.

In Kansas City, Mo-, the gas consumers
are not called upon to pay exorbitant
prices for what is now a necessity. Two
gas companies are doing the best they can
to secure patronage and each of them is
selling gas at fifty cents per thousand feet,
with free gas stove thrown in whenever
the customer desires one. The latest de-
velopment Is the opening of free school Of
cookery by one Of the corporations; a move
which the other company is scheming to
meet and overshadow in some popular way
Out of this friction good will come. Gas
will be sold at the lowest possible living
price: 1t will be used more literally than
ever before and knowledge of its qualities
will be so spread abroad that when gen.
tlemen from the southwest visit Washing
ton they will not attempt to extinguish
the flame with their lungs.

Anacostfa's Needs.

In the Anacostia railway case the Com
mis5ioners seem to have paid no heed to
the reasonable demands of the people; but
to have displayed all their tenderness
toward the corporation which obstructs the
path of local rapid transit with ante
diluvian horses and prehistoric cars. Must
Washington be compelled to daily apol-
ogy for the presence of such miserable
outfit as is placed upon some of its prin-
cipal streets by the Anacostia company?
Must the Anacostians be forever content
with these transportation facilities? 1t is
perfectly evident that without radical
change in the system and methods OF the
railroad the growth of Anacostia will con-
tinue to be so slow that the date when the
roads business will be on a paying basis
cannot be calculated.
To postpone the undermining Of the Ana
costa road until its antiquated bobtail
cars can be made to pay and accumulate
All improvement surplus in a modern, pro-
gressive. rapid transit city is to postpone
that improvement forever. The corpora
ton contends that its poverty-stricken con-
dition will not permit any improvement in
the equipment Of the road; that the sub
stitution of modern two-horse cars fer the
5obtail denominations would cripple the
corporation, while the hiring and paying Of
half dozen conductors could only result
In bankruptcy of the most incurable sort.
If that be true the road is already in
state of bankruptcy, and confesses its elf
unable to meet those obligations to the
public which are the conditions of its
franchise, and of the grant to it of the Sc
of the streets. To get out Of bankruptcy
1t must revolutioniZe those conditions which
have brought it into bankruptcy. To hold
its prospectively valuable franchise, it must
render that service to the public which is
the consideration of the franchise The
Capital Tranction Company was practically
compelled to adopt its present satisfactory
equipment: the Metropolitan Company was
similarly treated, with excellent results;
the Columbia Company voluntarily re-
juvenatei itself, to its financial welfare;
the Belt and lexington Companies are now
being squeezed into the proper shape The
Anacostia Company cannot be permitted to
remain permanently ON exhibition as con-
elusive proof Of Washington provincalism
The speedy improvement of it's horse-car
equipment and the fixing Of time within
which rapid transit system shall be in
stalled should be insisted upon by Con-
gress. The corporation will, If pressed,
undoubtedly find itself able to raise the
money which Is necessary to enable 1t to
modernize and render profitable it's pres
ent non-paying plant and to hold securely
