street Railroad Betterments.

Slowly, but with gratifying certainty, the
street-railroad conditions at the national
capital are moving toward perfection. The
latest effort to bring about much-needed
betterment has been crystalized In the act
CT Congress which has for Its object the
compulsory installation of mechanical mo-
tors over the lines now or soon to be oper-
ated by the Eckington-Belt syndicate. Al
the present time the local properties OF
this combination of capital do not appear
to be extremely profitable. and the chances
are that il the horse equipment was con-
tinued the possibilities of profit would be-
come smaller by degrees and beautifully
less. but. with a sufficiency of improved
motors and a schedule in which the inter
ests of the car-patronizing pubic would be
considered. there is no reason why the
syndicate's treasury should not soon be re-
plenished with dollars. The management
OF the combined roads inclines to the be-
lief that the best results will be achieved
by the use of compressed air, but as that
variety of propulsion is still in somcw hat
experimental stage of existence in this
country, though successful in France the
law has properly provided that in case
compressed air fails to do the work il shall
be succeeded by underground electricity;
as to the practicability of which there is
now no question. When the lexington
Belt renovation is complete, there will then
be left only one line in the city operated
by horsef1esh-the bob-taled arrangement
which is known among men as the Ana
costa and Potomac River railroad The
competition with this road which has been
provided by this session of Congress prom
ises to bring about abolition Of the horse
cars upon it's line in the near future

UNFAIR TACTICS.
A Reflection Upon the CandOr OF
Judge BigeIOw of Nevada.

Justice Bigelow, a goldite, of the
Nevada Supreme Court has hasten
ed to write Hanna that Nevada is
not hopeless State and only two
members of the Republican State
Central Committee resigned on ac-
count of the ST. Louis platform.
Six years ago Bigelow paraded as a
silver man and was elected to office
as Republican. Since then the
party lines have been obliterated in
that State, Bigelow has become un-
popular and there is nothing left
for him to do but stay with his
party in the hope that if Mckinley
is elected Hanna will care for him.
Four years ago the issue in that
State was between the Republican
party and the Silver party, the lat
ter composed of former Republicans
and Democrats who said silver was
an issue greater than any party and
who pledged themselves to vote for
no party or party candidate not
pledged to free coinage. At that
time only those who were "hide-
bound partisans, place hunters or
their dupes," remained with the
Republican party and they went
down to an ignominous defeat at
the polls For Justice Bigelow to
boast, in the face of these facts, that
only two of the committee have re-
signed is at least an effort to deceive
those unfamiliar with the truth of
the matter and we must say some
what of reflection upon the candor
of the man OGDEN Standard.
