An accident which happened on a north
bound Wabash avenue car yesterday
brought a smile to the faces of the few
passengers who were privileged to wit
ness it, says the Chicago Tribune. As the
ridiculous features of the case developed
the smile gave way to a hearty laugh
Among the passengers who boarded the
car long before it reached Twelfth street
was an old gentleman who rode on the
platform, smoking a cigar. The old man
carried a cane in one hand, although
there was nothing in his appearance to
indicate that he needed it as an aid in
walking.
The platform on which the old gentle
man stood contained half a dozen other
passengers, who were also ndulging in
the luxury of smoke. One of them was
crowded over against the wire guard
which the company considerably puts on
the side of the car nearest the track on
which cars are going in the opposite DR.
rection, to prevent passengers falling off
and being run over before the conductor
can collect fare.
AS the car neared Van Buren, street the
young man who had been leaning against
the guard started to leave the car. He
crowded past the men who blocked the
passage to the steps, and in doing so ac-
cidentally trod on the old gentleman's
toes. Everybody who saw the occurrence
thought, of course, it hurt, but the old
man never WINGED.
The younger passenger was in the very
act of jumping off the car when a realiza-
ton of his discourtesy seemed to dawn
upon him. He thereupon stepped back on
the platform and, accosting the old gen.
tleman, began a profuse and elaborate
apology.
While his amende honorable was being
made the car had covered half block of
ground. The old gentleman listened pa
tlently to all the explanations the young
man had to offer; then he said
stepped on my foot, did you? Well,
well, well! ] wish I'd known 1t at the
timel But it's all right, young man. You
may walk on that foot all you want TO.
It's been a cork foot for a matter of a
dozen years now. It's inconvenient
sometimes. but. thank heaven, there are
no corns on II.

why Not Change the Name,

Why not honor the memory of OgIe-
thorpe by giving his name to what
promises to be, in the course of a few
years, the most beautiful street in the
city? We are accustomed to the name OF
South Broad street, it is true. but il
would not take us long to get accustomed
to calling South Broad street Oglethorpe
avenue.
This matter has been under discussion
several times, and there is no doubt that
there is pretty strong sentiment in favor
of making the proposed change. There is
also strong opposition to the PROPOSE
ton, but it does not appear to us that
the reasons advanced by the opposition
are as strong as those offered in support
of the proposition. 1t is quite we'll un-
derstood what the reasons ION each side
are. They will doubtless be presented
again when Alderman Charlton's ordi-
nance, providing for changing the name
of the street, comes before the city coun-
ell for its action.
The changing of the name of a street
is not a new thing in this city. The
names of many streets have been chang
ed, and the changes did not cause much
Inconvenience.
Would IL not be advisable to provide in
the ordinance that the streets leading
east from East Broad street and west
from West Broad street, which are. as a
matter of fact, extensions of South Broad
street be known as OgIethorpe avenue?
These streets are not now known as
South Broad street. but there is no good
reason why they should have names diff
ferent from the street of which they are
parts.

The Outlook For the Treaty.

! The friends Of the arbitration treaty say
/ they still have hope. This means of course
! that its ratification is doubtful The OPP
position 70 it has developed unexpected
| strength. Twenty-eight senators are
| known to be opposed to ii. and there are
several others who are now inclined 20
vote against It, even If all the pending
amendments to it should be adopted. 1t re-
| qulres only thirty votes against it to de-
feat it,
There is no probability Of its being rati-
fed as it was when 1t was sent to the
Senate 1t will be amended in several i'm
portant particulars, and If II should be
ratified in it's amended form the chances
are that Great Britain would not accept
it, 1t is difficult therefore to see any
ground for hoping that a treaty satisfac-
tory to Great Britain will be ratified
Voting on amendments will begin next
Wednesday and after the amendments are
disposed of. debate on the treaty will be
continued. 1t may be two weeks before a
vote on it VIII be reached.
Various grounds of opposition to the
treaty are given. one is that the chief
reason Great Britain desires the treaty is
that If she is relieved from the danger of
war with the United States she will feel
free to pursue her aggressive policy in Eu-
rope-that her attitude towards the
Christians of Crete shows she is thorough
~ selfish, and that her sole aim is to pro-
mote the material welfare of her own peo-
pie. Another reason is that the treaty
would interfere with the construction of
the Nicaragua canal-that Great Britain
might object to its construction If it were
under the jurisdiction of the United
States, and third reason is that if it were
understood that there were no longer any
probability of war with Great Britain, the
work of building our navy would at once
cease. because it would be said that If
there were no probability of war with
that power it would be folly to spend
any more money on the navy. 1t is I'M
derstood that this last reason has much
more weight with certain senators than it
was thought it would when it was first
proposed.
That the treaty is popular with the peo-
pie there is no doubt. If il were submit
ted to the people it would be ratified by an
overwhelming majority. The senators
who are leading the opposition to the
treaty, however. are not permitting public
sentiment to influence them in the least
They take the ground that outside public
opinion is not based upon a comprehen-
sive knowledge of the issues and hence is
not of much weight. 1t really looks. how
ever. as If very much of the opposition
were based upon reasons which are not
likely to be given to the public.
