Too Many SnOnaOrS.

Kentucky is seldom at rest. When the
question of the free and unlimited distilla-
ton of whisky does not overshadow the
silver problem and the race horse pals
upon the public mind. some new diversion
is sure to appear. For some days there
has been lull in almost every line of
acute state interest, but the void Is
promptly filled by the arising of a dispute
between two of Kentuckys fairest damsels
as TO which has been chosen to christen the
new battle ship of the United States navy
that Is to bear the proud name of the blue
grass state. This vessel will be launched
next January. Unless some one is to be
disappointed the builders will have to con-
struct two platforms, provide two bottles
OF baptismal fluid-whether native Bour-
bon or not Is still a matter Of controversy
and permit two maidens to pronounce the
name the ship is to bear. No other solu-
tion now seems possible. The situation is
altogether without precedent. Before he

Martial LAW I'm Prague.

Martial law has beer declared in Prague
and some other judicial districts of Be-
hernia as d result of the rioting there. and
il seems though the crisis in the Aus
TRAN situation cannot be far distant.
Prague is the capital of a section in which
the Czech sentiment is most acute. The
anti-Germstn drift of the empire of late.
through the influence of the Badeni minis
Try, has aroused the Bohemians to hiSa
pitch of enthusiasm, but now that the Ger
man element has triumohed in Vienna by
forcing the resignation of Badeni. and thus
compelling the emperor to assume a posi-
ton of compromise, the citizens of Prague
are indulging in the most violent express
sions of hatred of the Germans The
scenes in the streets of Prague, reported
by cable. are such as indicate that the most
radical feelings animate the populace, and
the proclamation of martial law is
natural consequence There seems to be
little chance now for these race prejudices
TO be sMothered by governmental action.
Whatever is done, they will surely spring
into flame later at the least suggestion of
cause. and under such circumstances
Austria's future presents gloomy pros
pect.

1t is in order to note, with continued
gratitude for the tendency Of the times,
another case of material prosperity reach
ing the working people. 1t is reported that
23.0O0 worsted mill operatives in Rhode
Island are to be advanced in wages 90
per cent. thus restoring their pay scale of
few seasons ago. which was disturbed
by the depressing commercial conditions.
The prosperity experienced by the CAPT.
talist must eventually be enjoyed in turn
by those whom he employs. Nothing dem
onstrates more clearly the fact that the
interests of the two classes, the employing
and the employed, are practically identi-
cal. The most reassuring sign of the times
is the repeated announcement both of re-
opening the mills and of restored wage
scales.

the United States district attorney In the
Jurisdiction where the offense occurs, the
initiatory proceedings to be brought by the
commission as informant.
Thus if the commission were to turn a
deaf ear to the pleas now being presented
1t might put the railroads to great trouble
and expense through vigorous prosecu-
ton of the act, and there seems to be no
appeal from it's decision save to Congress
for repeal of the safety appliance law.
The reasons for the legislation are just as
potent now as they were when the act was
passed in 1888. The railroad men COM
plain now as they did then that the lack
OF such devices as grab-irons. driving
wheel brakes and automatic couplers on
freight contributes heavily to the
years death list. Yesterday one of the
men representing the various associa tons
of train hands whose interests are directly
affected asserted before the commission
that fully 60 per cent of the deaths among
railroad men during the year may be at
tributed to the absence of these equipments
from the cars in use, and according to this
estimate an extension of five years would
cost no less than 5000 lives
This enormous death roll serves to dwarf
the showing of the railroads themselves
that the immediate compliance with the
law would cost them several hundred thou
sand dollars The sacrifice of human life
in this connection cannot be capitalized.
1nasmuch the railroads themselves agree
that they will comply with the law in time
II given more lee-way, the mere fact that
deaths will certainly occur in diminishing
proportion the safety equipments are ap-
piled should operate now to cause the COM
mission to grant the least possible extern
sion. Five years is altogether too much
when the certainty of deaths is taken into
account. One year is all that should be
allowed. and in that one year it should be
physically and financially possible for
every railroad corporation in the United
States to meet fully the requirements of the
statute if spirit of willingness exists

administration having changed and Mr..
Herbert having rel.nquished his office, Gov

One-HOrse Cars,

The other day The Star called attention
to the advisability of some adjustment that
would remove the horse cars of the Ana
costa railroad from the streets of the CITY,
1t was pointed cut that the present prospect
Is that every line save this will within
lew months he on a rapid transit basis and
II was shown that this is the time to move
either for change in the motive power of
the Anacostia line or for it's connection IN
such manner as to keep it out of the
heart of the business section. 1t is now in
order to suggest that the Commissioners
give force and effect to the act OF July ~.
1892, which prohibits tine running of one
horse cars through the city. The Commits
sio1ers have been particularly lenent with
the Anacostia road in this matter and have
withheld the full force of the law from it
by virtue of the discretion vested in them
in the following language in the act:
Provided that this act shall not apply
to any company operating street railways
outside the limits of the city of Washing
ton or through unimproved and sparseiy
settled sections of the same, until such time
as the Commissioners of the District of
Columbia shall deem necessary for the pub
lie needs
The Anacostia road undoubtedly runs
Through sparsely settled section" of the
city and is entitled under the strict letter
of the law to a period of excuse from the
operations of the statute, but the time
has come to withdraw the consideration

company in tiding over a difficult period in
it's existence 1t is, indeed, only by
technical reading of the act that this indul-
gence is allowable for after running
Through" the sparsely settled region in
question it enters and traverses one of the
most populous and busy sections of the
city. making loop through the very heart
of the capital. L. would of course be alb
surd to grant this read the right to use
one-horse cars ON the portions Of it's lines
that pass through unsettled areas while
insisting upon its employment of two horses
to the in the business district The
more sensible and practical process would
be to consider the times as demanding the
full enforcement of the act under the pres
sure of the penalty of So a day for each
car run with enc horse. This is not one
horse town, Eor indeed is it horse-car
town. 1t is a rapid transit city, and is sat
isfed with only the very best style of
equipment on its street railroads. 1t mat
and that many trips are taken with only
two and three passengers. The law was
not enacted solely for the benefit of the
horses, but it had in view the best interests
of the city. the appearance of the streets
and the general repute of the capital 1t
may have contemplated well that the
anti-one-horse provision would perhaps
teach The rapid transit lesson. The pen
atty that it is in the power of the Com
snissioners to apply gives point to the latter
presumption.
