Mr.. Mckinley appears to be unfortunate
In the good Offices department of his
business. II will be remembered that a
German resident in Port au Prince was i'm
prisoncd by tie Haitian government, and
his release refuse d when it was demanded
by the Kaiser minister. The German gov
erEment prepared to take summary VEN
geance and would have bomiarded Port
au Prince, if the American minister had not
nterfered, secured the liberty of the pris-
oner, and - saved the city from destruction.
Now it l.; reported that Germany is inclined
to regard this mild sort of American inter-
vent.on with an unfriendly eye; Calling 1t
impertincnt interference and such like
things 1t is II wonder that the Emperor
does lot merely consider it amusing. A
country which allows its own citizens to be

The center of all campus life is and al

this palladium of liberties stood at the

seat of learning has mad the sanctity OF
an Institution. IL represents the most

The Evangelist Tells OF His First
Journey Into the Busy World.
There were acts OF love shown me
when l was a mere child that have In
fluenced my whole life," writes Evan
gelist Dwight l.. Moody TO his Bible class
In the July Ladies' Homo Journal.
There were nine of US children. and my
widowed mother had very great difficulty
I'm keeping the wolf from the door. My
next older brother had found place for
mo 10 work during the winter months in
neighboring village about l3 miles
away. and early one November morning
we started out together on our dismal
journey. Do You know November has
been dreary month TO mo ever SINGER

NOR THE TROLLEY cox PANY BUT
THE PUBLIC.

A reader Of The News writes us, ad-
vanoing tho proposition that the first
duty of the Mayor and police OF the city
should be To facilitate tho movements of
the trolley cars and not To hinder them, as
was done the other day.
1t will, wo think, strike any intelligent
Citizen that this Is very sensible idea
There are occasions, OF course whore 1t
is desirable in the interests OF tho public
at large to keep the streets clear, as, for
instance, IL will be at certain hours on
Monday next, and as IL was on Monday
last, 10 lesser degree Of privilege. how
ever, by reason Of the circus in town.
Nothing, however, is more extraordi-
nary than that measure Of public senti-
ment which appears TO hold the view that
In the amazing action of the Mayor on
Monday IL was the trolley corporation
that was being checked in its soulless
course instead Of a large part of the public
that was being embarrassed Wo have no
doubt that the Mayor himself held that
view, that he was only embarrassing the
trolley company But the Mayor is
demagogue and is con nlemnod by his
political training TO narrowness of view.
The trolley company does not run ,ars
for the fun of tho thing. or to give the
motormen and conductors pleasure. but
in the interests of the public. When it
takes iive-oent fare from passenger it
Is bound 10 use all measures possible to
carry that passenger through Co his or
her destination, and with as much speed
as possible. In tho interest of the
public, IL is tho plain duty of the
city government To facilitate that
operation. We are not undertaking
TO defend the action of tho trolley
company s employe who resisted the order
of the Mayor. But 1T seems clear that in
interfering with tho transit and move
ing with the right and reasonable oxpec-
tation Of the passengers on the cars TO be
carried as promptly as Nigh be to their
destination. Likely, the transit Of the
circus and the interest of another contin-
gent of the public, which just at that time
wanted to view the procession and did not
want TO get anywhere on the cars, de-
manded n giving way on the part Of tho
trolley company and sacrifice on
tho part of its passengers The passen-
gers on the cars were doubtless willing to
ooncede something to the sightseers. But
1t seems reasonably clear that the rights
and interests of the circus, the spectators
of the procession and the passengers on the
cars would al have been mutually con-
served II the Mayor hnd not conceived that
he could pose as defender of the faith
by crushing soulless corporation through
the medium of one of its employees
As our correspondent whom we quote
suggests. what he really did do was TO
take the position that the circus and that
part of the public that was on the street
to view it had a monopoly of the right to
liberty and tho pursuit of happiness and
that the several Thousand passengers held
up on the trolley cars had no rights that
the city government was called upon to
respect or conserve.
