of ground twenty feet wide, biseeting
the park, to be used for street railway
purposes. This is part of the project
to change the Selby avenue cable to
an electric line, and to carry it up
Third street, instead of the present
incline. A number of persons having
objected to placing the line on even
the short stretch of Summit avenue
that lies between SeIby and Dayton.
an alternative proposition was put for
ward. This contemplates running the
line up Nelson avenue to one of the
cross streets that will carry 1t over to
to cross from upper Third to Nelson.
To avoid the detour, and more par
ticularly the occupation of another
portion Of Summit avenue. 1t is sug-
across Summit park No more out
rageous piece of vandalism was ever
put before public body than this.
For years the beauty-loving people of
this city strove to create public
opinion that would enable them to Sc
cure for park purposes this beautiful
little spot at the approach to ST. An
thcny hill. They were finally success
full, and the city's money, aided by
property holders who were benefited,
bought this and made it a park for
ever. Few OUTLAWS for such purposes
have ever been better justified. Summit.
park is the exquisite little ante-room
to our fine business section, and an at
tack upon it ought to be resisted as
strenuously as a proposal to run cleo
trio cars the whole length of Summit
avenue.
Instead of that, as a mere make
shift, as the easiest way out Of a
benefit few people and persuade the
city railway company to make a
change that 1t desires in the cheapest
possible way, it is planned to absolute
ly destroy Summit park. Run your
electric line across there and you have
no park left. 1t is no longer a play
ground for the children in the day or
a beautiful promenade or resting spot
at night, but is disflgured and made
dangerous by the constant passing of
the electric cars. We should not have
imagined that such a suggestion could
be made without a storm of indignant
protest. We hope that this may break
later in such terms that the council
will not dare to go ahead with this
outrageous scheme.

UNOFFICIAL PLENIPOS.

Customarily those questions that
bring us in touch with other nations
are handled by the gentlemen whom
the administration sends accredited to
the various courts. But occasions
arise when they are not equal to them.
Their methods of procedure are so dill
atory, each step is so entangled with
crisis has passed away before they
have begun measures to meet it. The
solemnity and dignity Of their posi-
lions, however, acquire such a mo-
mentum that they keep on treating of
the vanished incident until the formal
tiles are all exhausted and it is diplo-
matically closed. Just now there are
two questions more or less prominent
in our foreign affairs about one of
which our duly accredited representa-
tives are doing nothing and about the
other of which another is trying to do
nothing. We refer it is needless to
say, to international bmetallism"
and the Cuban status. Possibly Presi-
dent Cleveland does not think that
past experience warrants any further
treatment in an official way of the
former, and we have his assurance
that he will take cognizance of the
latter whenever he can find a govern
ment, and, possibly, before, if Spain
does not behave herself
R11t the toOonar Of tho ,,,,b
lie chafes under these delays If it
cannot send or act through its official
representatives abroad then it will pro-
vide unofficial ones. So we have Sena-
tor Wolcott deserving his important
post in the senate in these expiring
days of the session, and betaking him
self to Europe to see If something can
not be done in the way of securing
though, entirely unofficial He is a
sort of advance agent of the incoming
administration He was recently at
Canton and came back to give out the
assurance that he had discussed with
the president-elect that feature of the
platform promising that the Republican
administration would do something in
an International way for silver, and
that the distinguished gentleman was
warmly in accord and ready to do
anything which he, when president. as
president, could do. The senator there
fore goes abroad with what may be
called anticipatory credentials to talk
with the finance ministers about an
other monetary conference.
Then we have Representative and SEN
ator-elect Money, of Mississippi, betak-
ing himself to Cuba to find out what
our consul general and other repre-
sentatives there have been unable to
find the situs and status of the Cuban
government. He is going to ask Wey-
Ter to pass him through the lines SO
that he can search the mountain fast
nesses for evidence that the Cuban
government is something more than a
barren ideality. If Weyler refuses the
pass and safe escort, Senator elect
Money will--well, he is not quite clear
what he will do. But we may expect
that Call and Vest will find a formi-
dable rival senate in the person of
the senator from Mississippi for the
palm of being the most ferocious, bel
ligerent and dauntless friend of Cuba in
the senate.

general agent Of a Pennsylvania fire insurance

reason why he declined the place at this

CRIPPLEs NOT WARRANTS.
Judge Orr Passes on "a Point In the
Law

Judge Orr passed UIon point of law yes
terday relating to whom the charge of vag
rancy may be made by the police. Edward
Mead of Minneapolis was charged with
being vagrant by officer Tom Calvin but
the court held that as Mead was a cripple
having but one arm, the law under which he
was arrested could not be applied to his case.
Only able bodied men, the court stated, could
be convicted of vagrancy. A cripple might
have no occupation or home, but in speci-
f1c case like the one on trial. the presump-
ton was that it was the result of misfortune
rather than of self-choiee. Mead was &C
cordingly discharged.
