Harmonious Street Hallway Systems

The completion Of the electric equipment
on the Columbia railway marks another
stage in the capitals progression toward
Harmonious rapid transit. With the full
electric installation accomplished on the
City ard Suburban and the Columbia run
ring by the same system there now re-
mains only the newly organized Anacostia
including the old Belt road, to be remod-
elei before the city is given an unbroken
conduit railway plant in every direction
Work is TO he begun at once on the Ana
costa equipment, it is announced, so that
it i now possible to foresee tine early ar
rival Of the long anticipated day when
Washington shall enjoy absolutely uniform
street railway facilities. When that day
comes the local standard of rapid transit

other city in this country, and equal to that
Of any oth"r city in the world. The very
best devices krown to electrical science
will have been Installed on every urban
line. No makeshifts will be in service.
Horses will be absolutely removed from
the scene The cable, cnce the ideal of the
traction manager. will be relegated to the
scrap heap. The overhead trolley Will be

and suburban lines will permit long-dis-
lance rides for single fare and give easy
and cheap access to all parts of the Dis
trict- A wholesome rivalry between two
great systems. fairly close IN their fields
Of operations, will ensure a high STAN
dard of service at all times 1t is difficult
10 conceive wherein the local experience
could be bettered in the methods of main
tenanCe. There are certain additional lines
required as result of the development of
tbs city. Some cross-town connections are
Eeedej, some spurs and branches would
prove convenient to the people. 1t is not to
be doubted that the owners of the two sys-
TENS will seek the right to construct these
necessary extensions. 1t is to be hoped
that beyond the natural strife of competi-
tors the applications OF the two corpora
uons to Congress for franchise rights will
rot extend to obstinate obstruction, result
ing in the negation of all the projects of
each side. Herein lies the sole danger of
street railway competition, but il is not so
great danger that it need offset all the
advantages of the recent consolda ton or
all the incidental benefits of a well main
taiIed rivalry If the corporations will but
realize that their best interests lie in the
line of affirmative rather than negative en-
terprise. they will the more surely succeed
IN winning and holding the patronage and
confidence of the people.

y revival of TransvaaI War theories is
caused by the report that President Kruger
had rendered his resignation to the volks
raad, or parliament, AMI had then with
drawn it after a long and secret sess.o a.
which he was present. The trouble arose,
it is said, over the refusal of the legislative
body to give the president entire control
over the dynamite concession matter which
enters largely into the dispute with Eng
land over the condition Of the outlandcrs.
This concession has resulted in an increase
in the price Of dynamite to the miners. and
their protest against It formed one of the
items Of the petition to the British govern
ment 1t is not yet stated whether the dis
pute between Kruger and the volksraad
arose because he wished to modify the
concession in accordance with England's
demand or to maintain it. The fact seems
to be that the president tested the allie
glance of the Legislature to him very eff
fectively by shyinS his resignation into the
chamber and then hearing a chorus of pro-
testaticns of loyalty from the body. Ii is
widely recognized that Kruger is the dem
inant spirit of the republic. He is obsti-
rate, conservative, intensely opposed to
foreigners loyal to the Beers and crafty.
He IS courageous enough to confront Eng
land even to the breaking point and he an
questonably enjoys the confidence of the
people, as attested by his continuance in
office and by the extension of repeated
mark of popular favor. But he is by no
means the only able man in the Transvaal.
Gen Joubert, vice president of the repub-
lie, is thought TO be in some respects a
more able man in that he is broader in his
views and quite rigid in his belief in
Boer independence, while possessing rare
military talents. Others are noted for their
administrative qualities. There might have
been a spice Of personal assertiveness in
kruger'S act Of resignation. 1t was in any
event polite move from his individual
point of view

Cleveland Strikers as Rebels,

From the New York Journal Of Commerce
The Cleveland car strikers are rebels, at
lacking the government. And no govern
ment was ever attacked that did not defend
itself. If the strikers think it is wort h
While to go To war against the government
they must expect the government to fight
back With police, ccnstables militia, SOL
diers, anything that the suppression of the
instruction may require. The Cleveland
CO" strikers have got to overthrow the
government, by their own admission, or live
subject to it, and if they think they can
overthrow it they have not learned much
from the railway strikes in Brooklyn and
Buffalo. Debs' resurrection in Chicago five
years ago and the railway strikes in Pitts
burg and elsewhere in 1871
The government which the Cleveland
strikers have declared war on is accused of
rot regarding Labor in any light what
ever On the contrary. it is performing
one of its highest functions when it pro-
tects the motorman who is willing to work
against the eX-motorman who has thrown
up his job.

The Folly of Lynchings.
from he Clicas, RECORD,

from tEt Nii'd-t ikStFfd
OF course the iynching of five Italians by
Louisiana mob was wicked and outrage
Gus, no matter what the offenses of the ar
cused. But 1t would seem that those who
are not deferred from participation in
lynching affairs by the wcledness of the
act would at least be restrained by the
foolishncss of that method of melting out
punishment.
In this case the folly of 1ynching is very
clearly apparent, because it has raised those
who should have been treated merely as
criminals to the position of wrongad sub
Jects OF friendly power for the mistreat-
ment OF whom our government will be
called upon to render an explanation
Those Louisiana lynchers have placed the
authorities of the nation in an embarrass-
ing position. Now that the United States
has acquired great prominence in the eyes
of the world such evidences of senseless
savagery on the part of Americans are
especially humiiiating.

Liquid Air in Medicine.

Just as in the case Of practically every
great scientific achievement there has for
some months past been an active course of
speculation in various channels respecting
the probable uses To which liquid air could

Mr. Bryan and the Factions.

Mr. BRYAN confronts now one of the most
trying situations for a political leader. His
followers are dividing up into factions and
he is being called upon to take sides.
When he arrived in Chicago last week
he found the Altgeld faction arrayed against
the Harrison faction. Both factions are for
silver and for him. There were overtures
from both SIDES, and Mr.. Bryan smiled upon
both. He attended the Alfgeld meeting and
made q speech. and the next day went with
the Harrison people on a little junket He
got off fairly well. but did not succeed in
bringing the two factions together. They
are still at war. and the bitterness existing
between them is likely to increase rather
than diminish.
Mr.. Bryan likewise found rival factions
from Kentucky awaiting him in Chicago.
Mr.. Goebel the candidate for governor. had
come to ask him to visit the state and lend
a hand in the campaign. An anti-Goebel
delegation was there to ask him not to take
sides in the controversy. Mr.. Goebel won,
and secured a letter indorsing his candi-
dacy. In his letter Mr.. Bryan takes the
ground that the defeat of Mr.. Goebel on a
platform indorsing the Chicago platform
would be injurious to silver. The anti
Goebel faction replies that Mr.. Goebel
secured his nomination by force and fraud.
and that by indorsing him Mr.. Bryan has
given boost in Kentucky to disrepdta-
BILE politics and thereby himself injured
silver. The two factions there have not
been brought together.
Within a short time now Mr.. Bryan will
be obliged to say something very definite
to tie silver republicans of the west who
supported him in 1896. They are growing
a little restless and suspicious. The demo-
cratic management seems to be giving a
good deal of heed to eastern suggestions
about shunting the silver issue. If silver is
to be shunted they are off Their co-opera-
ton next year is not TO be secured upon any
platform ignoring or subordinating silver
So that, as before Mr.. Bryan must choose
between the east and the west, with silver
very weak in the east, and by no means as
strong as formerly in the west.
The Nebraska leader is personally an at
tractive man. suave and persuasive. but
uniting political factions is one of the most
difficult of all undertakings. And next year
he IS likely to have his hands full of the
business.

The Inevitable,

There's no use in complaining
Of the noise the babies make;
\ youngsters lungs need practice
And it sometimes stays awake
In eager contemplation
OF the things il wants to tell,
But it lacks vocabulary,
So it simply has to yell.
And man whose nominations
These childish walls disturb
Gets out and shouts opinions
In confusion on the curb.
And people nhiiosophic
Pass him tOlent!y by,
For a man is bound to boiler
And a baby's bound to cry.

Counting the Cost.

When the street railway strike in New
ork is over, the cost to the strikers and
the corporations should be figured up and
published. These differences between en-
pioyer and employed are disastrous TO both
sides. and 1t is believed that the men who
left their places early in the week have lost
s2oV0 IN wages. OF course, the companies
nave also suffered largely. Fortunately
the trouble has occurred in midsummer
when 1t is a small matter to keep oneself
in comparative comfort. A strike in winter
Is sure to be followed by distress among
a rainy day.

ests; that about March 1 the defendants
