OF extcrmfnating them and laying the Is

OF humanity, was a proposition which he
refused positively to consider. The case
was presented here quite as strongly as 1t

Some of the admirers Of Mr.. Cleveland
who did not applaud his course in the Ha-
waiian affair have sometimes sought to ex-
cuse his conduct on the score that he was
misled by the report of Mr.. Blount. They
have tried to console themselves with the
thought that had the Paramount Commits
sioner performed his duty properly and in
telligently and brought back from the is
lands an altogether fair account Of the
revolution which had resulted in deposing
the queen, Mr.. Cleveland would have
shaped his course somewhat accordingly.
The theory is thin to the point of trans
parency. All the facts go to show that Mr..
Blount carried out the orders Of his chief
with reprehensible faithfulness, and
simply brought back from Honolulu what

President Mckinley begins by applying the

L" the means TO be employed by the

whether by the overhead or underground

granting extension of time to the new COM
paLy is plain as day on this point 1: says:
That the motive power to be used on the
lines in this act specified shall be the un-

OF Washington and the overhead trolley
system outside the city of Washington.
For crossing the Navy Yard bridge the
said company may. in the discretion of the

said company shall have the privilege Of
carrying an electric current across the said

Notwithstanding these precise instruc-
tions the company has claimed and the
Commissioners have heretofore been in
clined to acknowledge the right to con-
time the overhead construction to the
north end OF the bridge. If the letter of
the law should be ignored much depends
upon the meaning and scope of the phrase.
city of Washington. Competent autho-i-
ties have stated that the city limits ex-
tend TO the further shore of the stream
and thus the trolley is again prohibited.
There Is reason for urging that the
bridge be kept clear of the overhead wires
1t is toe low to make such equipment
safe. Loaded wagons crossing the bridge
occupy nearly the entire clearance space
and human life would be seriously endan-
gered If wire heavily charged with cleo

The District Bench.

1t appears. from the news columns of
yesterdays Star. that probably two and
perhaps more of the justices of the Dis
trict Supreme Court will soon resign or
retire and thus it becomes pertinent to sug-
gest to Preside 'r Mckinley that while these
positions are not covered by local citi-
zenship requirement such as governs the
Commission erships it would be most
proper act for him to fill the vacancies by
appointing local men. The District bar is
graced by able lawyers who combine with
their legal talent the qualities that go to
make excellent jurists. men of breadth and
judgment, endowed with the requisite ju-
dicial temperament But 1t is not only a
matter of opportunity that presents itself.
The item of residence can safely be disre-
gard,d when federal judges are being
chosen for the territories. but not in the
case of the District, where the laws in
force are probably more complex than
in any other jurisdiction. The 'code'-as
yet uncodified-is a mixture of old English,
common and statutory law. with few rem
nants of local enactments adding to the
confusion. Local practitioners are famil-
lar with the system and so when elevated
to the bench they fall naturally into their
duties without loss of time. The invaria-
Bile experience, however. has been that the
judges appointed from the states have re-
quired months and even years to become
familiar with the legal system and have
in some cases proven most unsatisfactory
interpreters of the laws, reaching the age
of retirement before they begin to master
the eccentricities of the pr opositons put to
them. Under these circumstances "home
rule Is not only desirable, but is practi-
cally neces sary.
