Owen Griffith, a wood hauler met
with severe accident last Monday
While coming down from the summit
north of town, on the China road, with
load of wood, the break gave way, al
lowing the wagon to run onto the
horses. In attempting to jump from
the wagon to escape what seemed al
most sure death he got tangled in the
lines. Just how it happened Mr.. Crit
fifth can't say but the result of the fall
was very badly fractured right leg
just above the ankle joint. He had to
crawl quarter of a mile to where his
team brought up, unhitch them and
then by great effort mounted one of
tho horses and rode into town, where
DR.. Plumer reduced the fracture. He
is now resting as comfortably as the
circumstances will permit. He is
man of wonerful nerve and stood the
ordeal with scarcely groan. Had he
remained on the wagon he void probaly
have escaped uninjured as both wagon
and team were found at the foot of the
hill without scratch.

Golf and Prosperity.

1t seems odd that the golf links should
furnish striking evidence of the return of
prosperity to the land. but such now ap-
pears to be the case. A great tournament
of club swingers from all parts of the coun-
try is about TO open in Chicago and ac-
ceptances and promises to attend were long
ago sent by some of the most prominent
men Of the great commercial centers, but
row regrets are said to be pouring in upon
the manager of the tournament from these
ardent golfers. pleading the exceptional
rush of business as excuse for their alb
sence. Many of the New York men who
had planned to attend the tournament say
that there is such a boom in all lines that
they cannot think of leaving town at pres
ent. This is true equally of stock brokers,
bankers, merchants, manufacturers and
others. The men of leisure. of course, to
whom golf is the most serious thing in
life while it is on the program, will be in
Chicago in numbers, but even their pres
eEce will indicate that they feel no I'M

"a Local IsSuev

There is evidently a purpose in Cleveland
to magnify for political ends the failure of
the program for according the President
formal reception upon his arrival there
the other day as guest on board Mr.
Hanna's yacht. The yacht. 1t will be re-
membered, arrived at her dock two hours
earlier than expected, and the President
had gone ashore and been driven to Mr.
HannaS residence before his presence in
town was known. There was much disap-
pointment- Arrangements had been made
for demonstration in his honor and these
of course. fell through.
Several stories have been sent out about
the matter. The first was that neither Mr.
Hanna nor his guest was appraised in ad-
vance of the intended honor and that for
that reason the arrival of the yacht was
not timed to accord with the program
The latest story is that Mr. Hanna was
apprised of the program, but declined to
cooperate, on the score that it was nearly
breakfast time. and the party wanted to
go ashore at once. He is reported then to
have added: The President is getting
very tired of this demonstration business
There seems to be nothing to recommend
this story to credit Cleveland is Mr.
Hannas home. and its citizens are his
sire to act in surly manner toward them
at such a time, with the President as his
guest. is inconceivable. The President was
about TO land on the soil of his native state
after tour on which many honors had
been paid to him, and that he should not
care to receive from his own people what
he had received from others so graciously
and with such evident pleasure is likewise
inconceivable. He Is not by nature a
naughty unobliging man. good
part of his power proceeds from a tenn
permanent singularly well regulated and
We'll disposed toward everybody.
This story, then. as given, will hardly
hold water. Not even Lake Erie water.
There are many evidences that the Ohio
silverites are less cheerful than at one
time. and that they are casting about here
and there for local issues with which to
try to save themselves in the coming
campaign. but yarns of this caliber simply
betray their extreme weakness. If success
depends in any measure on making Mr.
Hanna out a Ounce and the President a
churi, silver's cake in Ohio would appear to
be dough.

Looking a Gift Horse in the Mouth.

The Ohio man who was appointed to the
local office of seale- of weights and meas
uTes seems to be so thoroughly disgruntled
quence and its acco npanying salary is not
larger that he may refuse to accept. He
has thus far shown only protesting in
and has thrust the burden of administer
ing the Office upon the assistant sealer
who, being chosen on account of his quail
fcations and acquaintance with local con-
ditions rather than his political backing
is entirely competent to carry on the work
to the satisfaction of all. This Is an ex-
hibition of bad taste on the part of the
Ohio man. AS one of the great army of
outsiders who seek plumS from the District
tree he should not look too closely upon
the fruit that falls his way. II is too purely
gratuity to be scrutinZed critically. As
well might the North Carolina recorder o.
deeds have declined to accept his office be-
cause the old-time fee system of remunera
ton had been abolished. AS well might
the Ohio man who is said to be slated
for the marshalship decline to serve if APP

with it important judicial functions. The

Third Rail Dangers.

In a recent article in the Hartford Courant
a writer undertakes to show that the third
rail system in use at present on traction
line between Hartford and New Britain is
entirely harmless. He first shows that no
passengers on trains on the third rail line
have been killed. That was useless
demonstration, for no che has ever been
silly enough to suggest that the passengers
on the cars would be shocked or scorched
by the current. Next II Is shown that no
one has actually been killed by the highly
charged third rail since it was put in opera
ton. although in the next branch of the
story Illustrations are given to show how
very dangerous and powerful the current is.
For example, it is stated that a tamping
rod that was carelessly drawn across the
third rail by a workman until 1t touched
che of the other rails was burned in pieces
while the workman was being restored to
consciousness by his companions. Another
workman whose foot touched the side Of
the third rail leaned forward to pick up a
holt and to his amazement the bolt left the
ground and. attracted by the magnetism
caused by the high power electricity, went
straight to his out-reaching hand The
latter incident may smack somewhat Of

kaiulani's Illusion.

From She San Francisco Chronicle.
1t is alleged that while ex-Queen Lii

against annexation the ex-Princess Kaiu-
lani will go to Hawaii and intrigue for the
throne. Under dynastic rules Kaiulani is
the only person now entitled to it, the late

OF becoming the ruler of Hawaii, however,
shows how far she has been misled by her
British guardian. Mr.. Davies, and fler
putative father. Mr.. Cleghorn, to the
political conditions in the island group.
1t needs but slight acquaintance with
people who count for anything in Hawaiian
politics to be aware that they will neither
accept royalty nor political autonomy in
any form as final solution of their diff
cultfes. Their aim is to secure stable gov
eminent, and this can only come by an
Eexation to some strong white power like
the United States or Great Britain. If this
country will not take Hawaii they will
certainly not ask young girl just out Of
school to protect them from Internal dis
cord and foreign levy through the re-
establishment of a monarchy which bred
three revolutions in seven years. and had
neither respect abroad nor confidence at
home. The republic. with all it's weakness
would promise better than that.

The Street Cleaning Bureau.

The community has the right to EXPECT
that the reorganization Just accomplished
in the street cleaning department of the
District government will be productive of
as good results as that. recently effected in
the police organization. The street sweeping
work is now being done by new system,
involving new methods of both execution
and inspection. On the latter branch of
the administrative bureau rests q heavier
responsibility than before, for the new con-
tract is avowedly an experiment. and is
designed to furnish information for the
guidance of sthe local government when
Congress shall have given it the power to
do this and similar public works by day
labor. Thus a reorganization is more i'm
portant in its possibilities now than at any
previous time, especially the changes
made directly affect the inspection service.
The new superintendent is familiar with
the work. is said to be an advocate of the
hand method and to be an efficient man.
He has ample opportunity to prove his
qualities, and doubtless has every assur-
ance ct the start that he will receive the
aid and cooperation of the Commissioners
in whatever efforts he may make to i'm
prove the service and to ensure to the tax
payerS good return for their investment
He will have to cope with the general evils
of the contract system, which the law has
continued temporarily. and the fight that
he must make to keep the contractor well
within the terms and specifications of his
agreement will soon develop his fitness for
the post. The hand work is now being
done in a generally satisfactory manner.
The streets that are included in this system
are kept cleaner than ever before, while
the machine work that forms part of the
service is probably as fair it was under
the old contract. But there is yet and
probably always will be under contract
system auspices a margin between what
is actually done and what is required
by the specifications. The present hope is
that the new superintendent and his reor-
ganized force will be able to reduce this
margin to {, minimum.

1t is said to be within the range of prob
ability that the fugitive Hawkins. who is
accused of stealing a large sum of money
from the District collectors safe. will
turn voluntarily submit to a trial. and
if convicted accept mis- punishment without
demur- 1t is pointed out that the maximum
penalty for his crime il only three years.
This indicates the need. perhaps, of
cksn in the law which will enlarge the
maximum punishment of grand larceny.
OF course the man who steals SIS is NOR
ally guilty the man who steals

there is difference in the degree of
othquity the two cases. But the larger
criminal. that is the one who has the
larger opportunity and maybe the stronger
nerve is surely entitled to more lasting
reminder of his violation of the law. The
statute in its present shape offers a prem
TN fer thrifty theft.
Should Hawkins be shrewd enough to
hide his plumber beyond the reach of the
officers and the agents of the collectors
bondsmcn he could well afford so far as
his material welfare is concerned, to spend
three years in prison in return for the
Later enjoyment of the stolen thousands.
OF course he would run the risk of losing
both his freedom and his pilfered capital
But the disproportion between the crime
and the punishment is sure to present a
strong temptation to person whose moral
nature does not shrink from the prospect
of public disgrace and a comparatively
short sojourn behind bars.
This dspro2ortion tends to increase the

course. be change in his moral condi-
ton The tendency to steal would unques-
tionably remain, but the crime might be
prevented.
There is little danger that the extension

VIGOROUSLY slow in recognizing such truths
but the Times is slower than the average

ter is an act of elaboration in that office,
for it involves a decided change of policy.
And as the Times is very high authority
with the class who have money to invest
not merely to gamble with-the incident Is
all the more significant We may remark,
in passing. that it confirms the view we
took last week as to the further return of
American securities which was predicted
