VIII the Lesson Be Heededs

Out of the fearful slaughter and suffering
caused by the collision of two railroad
trains on the Atlantic City meadows issues
a lesson that ought to be instructive but
which will probably be disregarded not only
by the railroad companies concerned but by
all other railroad companies similarly cir
cumstanced as to trackage. Leaving Ell
tirely out of the question the human agony
for which no coin can compensate and the
priceless lives that were sacrificed, the COL
lision Will cost the two companies large
sums of money. Railroad equipment is ex-
pensive work. and a vast deal of capital can
be sunk in a single wreck. 1t is not unreal
sonabie to suggest that the companies will
eXpend more money in repairs, in new en-
gines and cars and in settlement of damage
suits, than would be needed to make i'm
possible-by the elevation of one set of
tracks-such collision as that which sad
dens the entire country. Legislation which
would compel the abolition of railroad cross
InSS at grade may not now be more than
thought of-the railroads are supreme in
bllity that self-interest will some day bring
about reform which is painfully -evident
necessity. 1t is no excuse to say that the
coiilsion would not have occurred had the
dead engineer or any other trainInan under
Suspicion been mindful of his duty The
railroad companies should do all they can to
eliminate the possibilities of danger.

Scventeenth-Cent Delaware,

Delaware is a remarkable commonwealth
and must therefore count among it's popu-
iation number of remarkable people OF
tins class are they who seem just now to
be wholly engaged in the arresting and
furnishing of American citizens who insist
upon publicly declaring their belief in the
single-tax doctrines which have been
freely discussed in so many communities
1t is said that the Jail in one of Delaware
principal towns is filled to Overlooking with
reputable men whose only offending lies in
their enGeavors to openly address such OF
the DelaWareans as would listen to them
while they made plain their views on the
subject of singie-taxation. With such per-
secution as the Delaware authorities per-
nit and practice the people of the country
at large have no sympathy; they condemn
it vigorously. The theory of the single-tax
Is believed in and supported by brainy and
honest men. The right of every citizen to
discuss theories of government is recog-
nized everywhere throughout the republic
save In Delaware. and the exception is
most discreditabie to the state that in this
matter is trying to be as small mentally as
1t is physically. If the advocates of free
speech were anarchists bowling for bloody
revolution Delaware could hardly do more
than is being done to the single-taxers.

The District Commiss.0 ners have been
much perpIexed over the electriC-l:ghtns
controversy Two corporations of
them very much in earnest-were ell gagged
in looking after their own interests in that
vigorous manner which is quite common
in business life. Between the two the
District Commissioners were being squeezed
claimed that the law was with him and
with him OILY. The problem has practi-
cally been solved. The matter was placed
in the hands of the attorney for he Dis
trict-Mr- s 7. Thomas-and he has pre-
sented to the Commissioners an opinion
the Importance of which cannot easily
be overestimated. 1t is more than a mere
solution of a pending question; it is an
accurate statement-clear testimony to the
careful examination of authorities and
thorough digestion of their meaning and
intentions-of the power of the Commits
sioners over the public highways of the
District. According to Mr. Thomas and
the authorities upon which he bases his
opinion. the Commissioners have no right
to grant the extraordinary use of streets
or avenues or other public thoroughfares
to any person or corporation unless Con-
gress hiss 50 ordered specifically The
Commissioners may, of course, d;ssen:

still under the ban Of treaty obligations
and hence cannot be espoused here. He
could remove this ban, and in doing 50
comply with the wishes Of the people and
the request Of Congress, but that he will
not do.
This latest proclamation, If it have no
other effect, ought to be of great service
to Minister de LONE. The m!nistsr-some-
what uIaccountably, as We see the matter
in this country-has lately incurred some
criticism at home. He is accused Of having
cooled little in his official zeal The Span
ish are an intense and impatient people,
and demand service OF much ado and nigh
pressure activity at all times. They do not
always get it They have not been getting
1t in Cuba. and they have been complaining
that of late they have not been getting it
here. So they have been wanting to know
why.
1t has been reported, too. that some of
this criticism was to be traced to General
Weyler. who in that way was seeking to
excuse his own failure in Cuba. The Mad
rid government was asked to believe that
If Minister de LONE would only be little
more active here Spain's course in the
island would make more Roadway.
Now. surely. the Madrid government will
acquit the minister of any dereliction with
which 1t may at General Weylers instance
have charged him Spain's course Is still
uppermost In official circles here, however
much the sympathies Of the people may
lean to Cuba's side. And the credit OF
this Is due. of course. to Minister de LONE.
1t Is to be regretted. however. that, even
indirectly. In this way, the President should
have entered the contest and taken sides.
No fight would have entertained the Amer
lean people more highly than the one thus
opening between Minister de Lone and
General Weyler; for however 1t had ended
and particularly If 1t had proved 20 be of
the order of that between the Kilkenny
cats-everybody would have been delighted.

Neutrality Again.

1t is not so very clear why the President
should at this time have seen fit to issue
second edition Of his neutrality proclama-
ton respecting the war in Cuba. The first
edition had not been forgotten. Court de-
c:Sions rendered since bearing upon the
matter had been duly noted. Sympathy
among the people for the Insurgents is
still very strong. but fiEbnstering Is not on
the increase. Spain has been getting more
than her due in the way Of assistance
here But the President speaks again.
With a@solfeifude that ought to touch

It may surprise people, but nev- ertheless it is true, to learn that there are only 52,000,o00 silver dollars in circulation in the United States. On the other hand there are 32O,000,0O0s in the treasury represented by outstanding certifi- cates. It is with these certificates that the goldbugs have been de- pleting the treasury of gold. If the silver dollars had been issued in- stead of certificates it would have been impossible for the treasurer to use his power to redeem the sill yer in gold. It is now impossible under present conditions to draw silver dollar from the treasury.
