The Ecklngton-Belt Situation.

Representatives of the lexington and Sol
diers Home Railway Company and the
Belt Compary-really one concern-have
repeatedly put themselves on record as
being anxious to Supersede horse power as
a motive force on their roads and have
talked, somewhat vaguely, of COM
pressed-air motor which they alleged would
be satisfactory to themselves and to the
public. The attorney for the District says
that the Eckington-Belt management can
not make the substitution referred to be-
cause there Is no law that authorizes or
permits such change. If the corporate
management is really intent upon modern
izing its equipment 1t should lose no time
in joining hands with those who are per-
sistently and properly engaged in agitating
for reform-the North Capitol and Eckng-
ton Citizens Association, for example-to
the end that by united effort the necessary
legislation may be enacted. AS to the
desirability of a mechanical motor in place
of horseflesh there is no evident difference
of opinion between the railway people and
the association-which latter, in this mat
ter. at least, represents the popular idea
so, therefore. there ought not to be any
lack of harmony as to what Congress
should do in the premises. Senate bill
1SsG or House bill 500 will satisfy the
people of Washington; the Eckington-Belt
management. if it has been sincere in its
representations, should also be pleased to
have either Of those measures become law.

a Lincoln Monument.

Henry watterson's eloquent tribute to
Abraham Lincoln calls attention afresh to
the fact that no adequate memorial Of that
very great man exists in this city. That
such memorial should exist nobody disputes.
and that Washington is the proper place for
IL is as generally conceded. This Is the
capital of the country, which Mr.. Lincoln
labored SO faithfully and heroically and
successfully to save. His figure looms tall
est now out of that stubborn struggle for
the preservation of the Union. His fame is
universal. and secure for all time. Even
those who stood against him in the civil
war are today Of the company of those
who cherish his memory with deepest and
sincerest respect and affection. The char
acter of last nights demonstration testifies
to this fact. The speaker was an ex-confed-
crate ,and among those wfo applauded
every sympathetic and euloSistic utterance
We're men of national renown, all their
lifetime identified with the party opposed to
the party which Mr.. Lincoln led. This
clone. therefore, Is sufficient to show that
20 far as his countrymen are concerned, Mr..
Lincoln regns in the hearts of all alike.
A bill embodying the proposition for a
Lincoln monument Is now before the Library
committee of the House. The author Is Mr..
Evans of the louisville district, who. both
as representative OF tne STATE III Wnicn
Mr.. Lincoln was born. and as a good Amer
lean cherishing Mr.. Lincoln's memory, Is
anxious to see some fitting step taken in
the premises. Expressing himself at the
time of introducing his measure to a repre-
sentative of The Star, Mr.. Evans said that
the absence of such a monument to 50 great
q man was remarked by every visitor to the
capital, and was the subject likewise of
surprise and regret. He himself had ex-
perienced the feeling, and his bill was the
eutgrowth of 1t.
The bill Is liberal in terms. 1t does not
prescribe either plan or site. All details
are left to- commission, to be fairly select
ed and in the fullest sense representative.
That Congress would pass this bill there
appears to be not the slightest reason to
doubt, and that the sentiment of the people
of all sections would applaud the act is
equally certain. 1t is to be hoped. therefore,
both that Mr.. Evans may press the Library
committee for a vote, and that the commit
tee may see its way clear to an early favor
ebe report The whole question will be
solved with the granting of the appropria-
ton. \ request for plans for such a work
would bring responses from men of the
highest genius, while a fitting site in this
beautiful city would offer itself in any
direction.

Popular Science News says that Gen. r.
G. Dyrenforth is now planning to relieve
London of the foggy atmosphere with
which the English capital has so long and
so Intimately been associated. Washington
will be very proud of Professor Dyrenforth
If he succeeds in emancipating London
from a most annoying and unhealthy
thralldom, for Professor Dyrenforth is a
WaShingtoEian. 1t is stated that the sum
of fifty thousand dollars Is to be expended
In experiments. The plan, as announced,
looks TO the establishment of anti-fog sta
tions located between the city and the sea !;
when the fog makes its appearance a bonn
bardment of the upper atmosphere COM
mences and the rain which is expected to
follow the cannonading Is to disperse the
fog. Perhaps the scheme will work. but it
does not appear to be sufficiently radical
Scientists are on record as saying that the
marshy character of the soil beneath and
about London is1argely responsible for the
mi5ts: that the moisture Is exhaled from
the earth and not drawn down from above
If this theory be the correct one then Pro-
fessor Dyrenforth ought to strike directly
at the root Of the evil. and instead of send
Ing his bombs into the air he should plant
them In the ground and then touch them
off, Such an operation. repeated with suf-
fcient frequency, would remove most of
the marshland. and might. In the course Of
time. have some effect on the atmosphere
In view of the somewhat strained relations
existing between Great Britain and the
United States Professor Dyrenforth should
not explode his bombs in the early morning
He did that once or twice In the vicinity of
Fort Myer one moist morning and several
people in this city heard of it and said and
wrote uncomplimentary things about the
disturbance.
