Passing Of the Hsrdics.

The winding up of the affairs Of
the herdic company removes a re.
ininder Of old times from the streets
of Washington. These heavy, uti..
comfortable vehicles are relics of the
past, out Of harmony with the pres
ent development in the line Of urban
transit methods and outstripped in
thR race for favor and patronage.
The people have grown accustomed
to being rushed along, they have
been spoiled 80 to speak, by the
hurry of ten and twelve-mile rate of
speed, saving their precious time
and thus adding to their opportun-
tiles for business. Slow coaches
have fallen into disfavor and even
the saving of one and a sixth cents
per trip that they afforded could not
restore them to grace. Their going
opens the way to a new industry
that ought to thrive in such a city
as Washington. The smooth streets
would furnish ideal running for
motor carriages and buses, such as
| are now in vogue in London and
Paris. Since that mention of the
possibilities it has been announced
that q number of motor cabs, fashion
ed like hansoms. have been put in
service In New YORK. city and have
begun by attracting considerable
patronage. New York's street sur
face however, as q rule are rough
and It Is fair to presume that the sue
cess achieved in the metropolis in
such an enterprise could. In due
proportion, be far exceeded here.
The advantages the motor wagons,
cabs, and carfysalls are obvious.
In addition to being swift they are
practically noiseless, they are more
conductive to the comfort of the pas
sengcrs and they do not wear the
street surfaces nearly as badly as
do the numbering coaches that have
just ceased to run. This last el-
cmcnt should appeal to the taxpay-
ers II the old basis ON which the
herdics were permitted to run were
maintained In the event Of their
revival.-Ex.

wall ana LOMBARD streets are TOO
parsimonious in local elections.
They did more on credit at last cleo
ton than they did in ready cash,
although cash was abundant. They
promised every laborer a place at
high wages, every boss political
Job, every merchant ready sale at
higher prices, every farmer a good
market, every manufacturer de-
mand for his goods at any price he
might fix, and generally they prom
ised everything good to everybody.
1t now appears that they have brok-
EN- every one of these promises,
which were contracts as sacred and
binding as any other contract, be-
cause upon these promises they re-
teived ample consideration. The
people who relied on them performed
their part, and voted and worked for
the gold combination. Now the
election is over, Wall and Lombard
streets repudiate their contracts.
We warn them that this reputation
will be a costly job, and if they
keep on repudiating their contracts
to give good times they will be
throughly discredited before the
hext general election, and it will
take great deal of money to supply
the place of credit which they will
have lost. If they cannot give good
times and there is any doubt about
the supply Of money at the next
election they might as well throw
up the sponge and quit. It is true
they have got four years more of
the services of the government and
all the pickings connected with it,
but they have got a great many to
feed who are very hungry and the
people have got sick of the bond
deals ofthe last administration. They
will have to contrive some other plan
Of highway robbery to accumulate
enough money to supply the credit
they had at the last election and
leave enough over to make times
lively for the month before election.
We have no doubt that they will
be very active in robbing the govern.
ment, and will play It for all 1t is
worth; but 20 many Of their games
are played out. and will not stand
repeating, that it seems to Us they
will have a difficult time, unless
they hsve really studied up some
new grabs which surpass all others.
That they are at work on schemes
everybody knows, but It will take a
great deal of money to take care of
the election. They can not run
them again on lies. The election
IN Ohio. Michigan. Indiana, and
everywhere else a. far as heard from,
show that the people are not salts
aed with Mckinley prosperity. A
strong reaction has already set In,
and Is certain to continue, because
the promised good times cannot
come on the gold Standard.

StutSktOHat
ing a Double Murder.
B~ellefontaine. Ohio, Aug. 16.-There
are many detectives at work here and
in Union township on the rumors re-
garding the double murder a week ago
Of David DERRICK and his wife. While
Tony Ford and Lew DeerweSter are
under arrest for the crime il is gener-
ally believed there are others who
know something about 1t. In connec-
ton with the rumors duplicating diff
ferent neighbors. One man attempted
suicide on his wife's grave because he
was suspected. and a after
breeding over the horror, took NOR
phine with suicidal intent. Yesterday
Mrs. Charles Spellman. a relative of
the Detricks, charged her father-in-
law, Mack Spellman, with criminal as
sault. and there was talk of lynching
the father-in-law. The developments
of the past week have been such that
many are apprehensive of the result.
The sensation now is the alleged con-
fession of Ford to Mrs. William Els
worth. previous TO his arrest, that he
committed the double murder. Ford
denies the confession.
