to the company of about $2,6OO,O 900 and to
the city of about 100000. This agreement
ensures the abolition of grade crossings
on the entire main line of that road from
New York to Boston, and 1t is expected
that the work will all be accomplished in
side of four years. The company has found
that by ai,olishiHg grade crossings it is en-
abled to reduce the schedule time Of

through cities and towns not included in

heavy damages from accidents. As a mat

goodwill, too. of all the large towns and
cities through which it passes, and in these
days of competition this is a most import

commendabfe, and the application of lit
tie of the same sort on local conditions by
the railroads that now have unhampered
use of the streets of Washington with

would be one of the most welcome events
in the history of the city. 1t is observed,
too, that this great and enterprisfng north
ern corporation does not confine it's i'm
provements to the city crossings, but ele-
Yates its tracks whenever a country road
is encountered, so that every possibility of
accident to people who do not trespass on
the railway Gcks is eliminated.

Mud or Germs, Which.

These are trying times for local water
drinkers. The wells are condemned as in
fected. The verdict of the authorities is
that all must be closed. The Potomac
water is full of Maryland and Virginia
mud, and the authorities have permitted
themselves to foster the suspicion that dis
ease germs well as mud particles con-
taminate it, If both waters are dangerous,
the more attractive to the eye, the clear,
cold and sparkling well water Is naturally
preferred, and resistance to the Commits
sioners' campaign against the wells is
vastly rengtnened The Star considers
the water in the shallow wells within the
city limits to be an absolutely demon
strated source of disease; while in respect
to the Potomac water there is only re-
mote suspicion, which may or may not
prove to be we'll founded. From The Star S
point of view it seems unfortunate that
confidence in the more wholesome of the
two waters should be shaken by the au-
thorities while a campaign was in progress
against the water which is generally con-
ceded to be dangerous. Deep wells, if any
must be used within the city; and, first
settling basins, and later, perhaps, a fill
tration bed will deprive the Potomac water
of its sediment and its possible stray germs
Of disease.

that the Old Dominion Jockey Club, doing
business at Alexander Island, will take ad-

The British Idea of Success.

The British Idea Of SuccesS.
The reception by the British press of the
bews that DIR. Jameson's expedition into
the Transvaal had been defeated by the
Beers throws q bright light on the English
character and that nations foreign policy.
1t viii be remembered that the enterprise
of Jameson was entirely private, without
ostensible sanction by the government, and
the colonial office in London took excellent
care to make public display of keeping
hands off when the public announcement
was made that an armed force OF English
men was marching into the Boer republic
and it developed that there was powerful
national influence in Europe opposed to
such move message was sent to Jane
son, alleged to contain orders for him to
turn back, and it Is known that he re-
Ceived it and then proceeded. 1t is almost
Incredible in view of his persistent ad
vance that the message 'bade him to
retrace his steps when the discipline of the
foreign office is considered. But he went on
and was whipped. Ne Englishman can en-
dure defeat 1t is a characteristic of the race
that the man who whips is hailed as right
in his cause, whatever his contention; the
man who loses is necessarily wrong. So
the British press now greets the tidings Of
the Boer victory with disclaimers. Nothing
but success, say the astute London editors,
could have justified the invasion. As the
expedition has proved q miserable failure
it has seriously damaged the future of
South Africa.
The other size of the picture is not re-
vealed. What If Jameson had cut his way
through the Beers. captured the capital of
their republic. and established the British
influence in the land that, in 1881, WAS de-
o;.kc
from their selfish neighbors? Would he
now have been disgraced denounced as an
adventurer, condemned as foolhardy and a
miserable failure?. The voice of history an
swers in the negative. Success and success
alone is the British criterion Of righteous
ress, and it is the traditional policy of the
nation to inaugurGte most of it's important
movements by unofficial expeditions on the
success or failure of which depends the
future course of the government. Robert
Sehomburgk. a German botanist, succeeded
in the face of the danger OF being attacked
and expelled by Venezuela in laying down
boundary fer British Guiana for the pur-
pose of negotiation and compromise, far
beyond any previous British claim. The
successful man becomes'S Sir Richard Schom-
burgk, English knight, instead of a Ger
man adventurer and rowing botanist, and
his bour Diary line is now clothed with the
attributes of infallibiIty, and may not be
questioned without insult to Britain, and is
not possible subject of arbitration. Had
DIR. Jameson whipped the Beers and Ger
many contented herself with growing, 1t
is probable that year hence the South
African hero would have been elevated to
the knighthood maybe the peerage for
his great public services instead of being
disowned and condemned as an adventurer.

Gates Of arbitration. in whom. though peace
lovers, the commercial instinct Is already
at war with patriotic impulse, do not back
up their country's demand of arbitration,
but seem to suggest that there should be an
arbitration of the question whether we ought
to ask arbitration. The experience of the
past fortnight has been that as the Ameri-
can feeling in support of the President
grows stronger, the British feeling In sup
port ef Lord Salisbury grows weaker, and
there can be no surer way to bring about
arbitration and peaceful settlement Of the
controversy than to rally unitedly in main-
tenance of the American position.

Picking SchOmburEl<'s Lane to Pieces.
The Schonburgk boundary is suffering
assault all along the line, in England as
Well as III America. It Is already demon
strated to be unworthy Of unquestioning
international acceptance and this fact re-
moves one of the greatest obstacles in the
way Of complete vfnd.catiop of the Amer
lean position, which is that Great Britain
has no right to arbitrarily to fix upon this
lire as the extreme limit of British subnis-
sian to arbitration. The Londcn Chronicle
Is doing yeonan service just at present in
destroying Lord Salisbury's contention that
the Schnmburgk line is infallible and un-
impeachable, and its Washington corre-
spondent is unearthing some valuable ma
terial that Will doubtless have weight with
the Venezuelan commission There is no
lack of evidence against this arbitrary line
and it is remarkable that Lord Salisbury,
with all his shrewdness as a diplomat.
should have selected so weak a ground In
opposition to the American position in the
matter In View of recent disclosures re-
garding Schon.burgk's line it is somewhat
astonishing to learn that Mr. Joseph Cham
beriain, thu colonial secretary, eagerly de-
MES rumor that the British government
Is disDesed to arbitrate the question. For
Great Britain to refuse to arb.trate after
the demolition of her main contention
would place he7' in very embarrassing po-
sition and greatly strengthen the interna-

And she doesn't care to do them when
