\ street car fender tnat will only fend
when the object 10 be Tended is in a Ger
tain position favorable for perfect fend-
ing is of little value. Yet such is the
device In general use in this city. and the
theory of the companies appears to be
that no better fender can be found. The
result of this perverse blindness to the
possibilities of mechanical ingenuity and
the legal and therefore the financial value
OF an all-rOund fender that can be relied
upon TO fenu, is that accidents causing dis
tigurement and death are deplorably fire.
quent- Saturday night a man lay so near
the Tenleytown car tracks that his legs
crossed tine rails. The average height
from the ground of fender in the Dis
trict being about fifteen inches and the
man being of normal size the fender of
the next car running on those tracks sweDt
over the legs and likewise the so-caIled
wheel-guard. Result = amputation OF
course, from Tie railroad point of view the
victim took an unfair advantage of the
feLder and wheel-guard by lying down and
offering only fraction of himself for NIL
tiiation: but the evidences steadily accumu-
late -that the railroads must both in their
own and the Du5lic's interest utilize the
inventive ingenuity of the country in Sc
curing wheel-guards which will guard and

abinet GOssiD.

-Four names fill large space in all the
speculation on the subject of the pex+
cabinet Nine men out of ten will say that
either General Harrison or Thomas =
Reed would make an admirable Secretary
of State, and at least eight out of ten ex-
Ersss the opinion that Mr.. Mckinley would
do a wise thing by calling either John
Sherman or William B. Allison to the
Treasury department.
General Harrison while President i'm
pressed the country very favorably with
his capacity to handle foreign affairs. II is
known that he took lively interest in the
work of the State Department, and con-
tributed no little toward the successes If
registered under his administration. He
matter of the New Orleans mob, In the
controversy with Chilli. and in the Hawai-
ian episode, and in various other ways he
managed to communicate to the world the
fact that there was a live man at the helm,
In this country. His hand has lost none of
its cunning: his Americanism none of its
yigor.
Mr.. Reed has had little to do with foreign
affairs. but he has succeeded so well with
everything else he has undertaken that
confidence in his ability to administer any
office satisfactorily is very high He is a
man OF wide reading. is good writer and
close reasoner, and knows international
law. He, too is a thorough American. and
any policy he might pursue would be GER
tain to meet with popular approval. There
Is feeling, however that Mr. Reed in the
Speakers chair again would be placed bet
ter to his liking. The next House will be

charged with some very important work,
and he has demonstrated exceptional ca
pacity for cutting out and carrying for
ward work of that kind.
Mr.. Sherman stands highest among the
fnanciers of the day. and hence, for any
financial work of difficulty and far reach
ing effect, his qualifications are conceded.
There is work of that kind coming on.
The next Secretary of the Treasury ought
to be able to command the fullest conf
dence of the people and the fullest support
Of the business interests. He will find that
he has an immense job on his hands. Mr..
Sherman steered the government through
some pretty heavy breakers once. But that
was nearly twenty years ago. He Is still
man of vigor. but at his time OF life he
may not care to undertake another task OF
almost equal magnitude.
MIR. Allison. who ranks next to Mr.. Sher-
man as financier has three times de-
ci1ned the treasury portfolio. He has al
ways preferred his seat in the Senate. He
may still prefer it. In March next the new
term for which he has been elected begins.
His relations with Mr.. Mckinley are very
cordial. He could leave the Senate with
out it costing his party vote in that body.
The republicans control the Iowa legisla-
ture, and his successor would of course be
of that party. Mr.. Allison as Senator has
participated in all the legislation of the
last quarter of a century affecting the cur
rency, and SO is thoroughly familiar with
the problem now presented.
But as frequently as the talk respecting
these four men Is heard it is nothing but
talk. So far as known Mr.. Mckinley has
limited at nothing on the subject of his
cabinet to anybody. He is not likely to
hurry. There is plenty of time. and there
are many interests to be considered. A
great emergency, like the present calls for
a great cabinet.

Revenue Legislation.

Speculation about congressional action
this winter N the subject of revenue seems
to proceed without regard to the fact that
the President in his annual message and
the Secretary of the Treasury in his annual
report may have something of interest to
say toward solving the problem. Both
must touch upon it in some way. Neither.
1t is true, can do more than suggest. But
in the Presidents case a suggestion even
may be of great service. 1t will at least
rot be diff cult afterward to decide where
he stands.
If an effort is made to pass the Dingley
bill in the Senate the debate may take an
animated turn. The bill was side-tracked
in that body purely in the interests of
silver. Nobody denied. because nobody could
deny. that the government needed more
revenue. The treasury deficit yawned like
a wide ditch. But the democratic Senators,
aided by five republican silver Senators,
voted against considering the bill, and that
prevented consideration. Then the silver
men of both parties seized this show OF
power. and partly by the aid of it went to
Chicago and committed the democratic
party to free coinage at 16 to 1. An appeal
was made to the country. and the country
by majority of about one hundred in the
electoral college, and over a million popular
majority. decided against silver. Does not
this decision also. inferentially, condemn
the Gripping of the government in the
matter of revenue in silver's behalf?
AT any rate the question Is a very nice
one for the sound money democratic Sena-
tors - consider. Whatever their purpose
was. certain it is that their votes at lh.
last session to side-track the Dingley bill
OK Grated at Chicago, and later, in the
interests of silver. They saw this them
selves, and came forward promptly and
courageously soon as affairs took that
shape and exerted themselves to the utmost
in the work of defeating silver. The Treas
ury's deDlorable condition was made by the
silver men a count in their Indictment of
the sound money policy. And yet, that the
Treasury was behind. and was still run
ming behind, was due to the refusal of the
Senate under democratic and republican
and populist coalition to pass a bill for the
TreaSurys relief.
Tne situation this winter therefore will
be very different from that of last
spring. Silver. for the time at least,
has been eliminated from the equa-
ticn The country has declared against
silver But the Treasury's deficit remains,
and should be acted upon promptly The
proper support of the government is not,
and should not be made, partisan ques-
tion.

November MeteOrs.

Astronomers declare that tonight there
will be observed a wonderful display of
meteors III the heavens. They give entirely
credible reasons for this forecast, basing
1t upon the experiences of the past and
the mattematically accurate probabilities
as to the future which make astronomy
one of the most marvellous of all the
sciences The earth's orbit, they say,
crosses twice a year the path of a great
swarm of meteors swinging through space
in an elliptical course. In August the
planet upon which we live encounters these
celestial wanderers. and again in Novem-
Der the curves Of the two orbits coincide
and the display Is repeated. In certain
places IN this enormous ellipse the meteors
are thicker than in others. hence some
years the showers" are exceptionally bril-
liant This occurs about once in third
of century. and 1t is promised that In
1889 the earth will be treated to series
Of free pyrotechl les that will rival any
thing seer since 1866 Fortunately, this Is
not superstitious age, else the meteoric
display of tonigbt-should it meet schedule
expectations-might- be taken as a symbol
of awful portent. giving rise to grave ap-
prehensions. The spread of scientific
knowledge among all the people largely by
means Of the newspapers has rendered i'm
possible any such general panic. All who
can read are doubtless today more less
familiar with the theories of the meteors
knowing them to be practically harmless
skimmers of the boundless ether, guided
by the same great principle that causes
the earth to revolve on it's own axis and
to swing around the sun. What marvel
of human intelligence is the present devel-
opment of astronomy What an equal
marvel of progress in this rout of super
stition through the educ alton of millions!
