The Trespnss on Aqueduct Bridge

on the basis of the decision rendered yes
tcrday by Judge Mills in the Police Court
the Commissioners have ample authority
10 control the use of the Aqueduct bridge
by the street railway companies. and the
corporation that tried to force its way upon
the bridge without permission has no stand
ing whatever. 1t appears from the courts
review of the records that no license has
ever been issued from the War Department
to enable the company to cross the bridge
with its tracks. and Furthermore that the
Commissioners are by the statutes given
supervision of all proposed construction
plans that affect it is concerned. 1t is plain
that the company hoped to make dash
and secure a fcothold upon the bridge be-
fore the authorities of either the nation
or the District could intervene, just as the
Glen Echo company a few days before
took advantage of the lack of a patrol at
the former terminus of it's line and unlaw-
fully entered the District with track for
which no permit had been given. The Glen
Echo road has subsequently been granted
a retroactive Permit for this construction
already accomplished Presumably the
Falls Church road hoped to secure Just
such an unlawful Indulgence after the act
The Commissioners as well as the Secre-
tary OF War can and must prevent such
trespasses on government property, hut
neither, in the absence of specific authority
granted by congressional legislation. could
permit such track extensions. The doctrine
on this point laid down by the Supreme
Court of the United States is clear and I'M
lnistakable.

Though the perfume of the roses
Brings no more its Establishment;
Though the honey bee now dozes
In luxurious content;
Let us still be bland and smiling,
Nor lament the days of yore;
Let us turn TO the beguiling
That the future has in store
Though the honeysucklcs vanish;
Though the frost may reign supreme,
Ruthless autumn cannot Danish
Redolence and dainty gleam
Our good cheer cannot be shattered
Fancy sweetly bids us wake.
To inhale the incense scattered
BY the radiant buckwheat cake.

We ear have and ought to have one
general, comprehensive road law, elastic
enough to be capable of application every
where and We. rigid enough to do away
with the abuses of the present system. This
law should first of all abolish the farce
of road duty and substitute for it a
poll tax, tax on property and a tax on
vehicles of all kinds. Let money be re-
CURED instead of the pretense of labor

between now and next January than lin

AS the outlook today is there are to be
four tickets. not including the prohibitions
list and socialist tickets. Mr.. Low will re-
main the Independent candidate of the
Citizens Union for mayor 1t is barely
possible that the republicans may name
him as their own candidate, but today the
indications all point to a regular republic
can ticket. with Mr.. Olcott as the candi-
date for the Mayor. The democracy, under
the leadership of Sheehan, representing
Tammapy, and Mclaughlin controlling the
Brooklyn democracy, will name a strong
ticket with gold democrat at the head
of it as their candidate for mayor, ard the
free silver element of the democratic party
will in all probability nominate Henry
George for mayor.

Labor is for Postal Banks.

The state federation of labor In session
at Bloomington has added its Endorsements
to the agitation for the establishment of
postal savings banks. Wherever working
men speak the voice is the same. The Rec
ord has printed hundreds of expressions
of opinion from workingmen in favor of the
system. Local unions in large numbers
have Endorsed the movement looking to its
establishment. Other state and national
conventions as they meet should also take
action along the same line. Especially
should the American federation of labor,
which meets in December. take a strong
position in favor of postal savings banks.
The demand for their establishment should
be reiterated SO persistently that Congress
cannot longer ignore the subject.
