"CHANGE CdRS ~

The "change cars" nuisance which we have
done our share toward exposing, to which nu-
merous correspondents have referred in letters
giving their experiences with conductors who
hustle them from one car TO another, is the
same nuisance still and there seems to be no
relief in sight
When we called attention 10 the matter last 1t
was In connection with the practice which COM
nelled Messengers to change cars at the Flftieth-
ST station That was in midwinter and the ex-
treme weather made changing cars menace TO
health and destroyer of comfort but midsum-
mer car changing also has horrors which are
we'll known to the railroad authorities and they
must evidently be endured by the patient pub

TO take children for days outing to the nearby
seashore places and in many instances the par

they have done their duty when they have

pavement echoes. "All out here-take car ahead.
Another uniformed man shouts, step lively.
and the little ones in scrambng off the car
often narrowly escape being hit by the guard
rail which is hurredly lowered 10 make the ear

with her bundles babies and boxes. steps as

of the yelling employees. takes the car ahead
in the firm belief that II Will take her TO the

choice now between taking her party off and

and i'm most cases the poor woman Is undecided,
and with the excursion broken up at the first
stage she wishes she were back home with the

The signs on the cars have absolutely no

Cotopaxi anil several Of the Central and South
American volcanoes This is probably not their
last public performance. therefore
In n recent work Professor Bonney advances
the theory that in the earlier part OF It's his
tory n volcano is apt to eject rocks Of certain
class and Mt a later stage materials OF diff
ferent chemical composition. The first lavas,
which he thinks come from high level In the
earth's crust, show a generally acid character,
whereas the later ones proceed from greater
depths and are basic. Although there are some
notable departures from this rule-if it be
rule-it is worthy of note that the lavas or
Hawaii and of Etna both belong TO the last
mentioned type.
Geologists are not altogether agreed as to the
causes of volcanic action. Nor are they any
too we'll satisfied with their own explanations.
But the phenomena are so thoroughly local In
nature and origin. apparently. that the coinci-
dence between the outbreaks In Sicily and the
Pacific is probably accidental, and not an in
dcaton of a real connection.

tberc Is little disposition 10 ask an ambitious
man 70 sacrifice an opportunity from any sense
of obligation to continue in a minor place. In

that obligation that we tolerate the most open
intrigues for judicial position. We see men
placed in county court with the duty of
serving full term there beginning at once
from the bench to pull wires for judicial con-
ventions and gaining nominations for higher
judicial place by the purchase OF primaries.
We see struggles for the Supreme bench not
merely thrown into politics, but into corrupt
politics in a way that cannot fail 10 lower
public respect for the court, and also to place
in high judicial office men unworthy TO fill such
positions Therefore such an exhibition or

the lead of his own wishes. We should not
have blamed him If he had. No man could
say that the office which came TO him did not
offer as important a field for the exercise or
his talents as the one he holds, and that it was
not his duty to respond to the Governors call
Yet we would not suggest that his scruples
were fanciful for we do not think they were,
but that there was a fair margin for the eXer-
else of individual conscience. The important
thing Is that an office holder and trained, prac-
tical politician should see in the exchange or
offices a case Of conscience and should decide
the issue adversely to his own interests and am
bitions. Undoubtedly Mr.. Ray Is needed in
Washington and his presence there Will be bet
ter appreciated than ever before, and the weight
of his influence for good will be greater from
the very fact that he is known 10 be there IN
the fulfilment Of duty, when he would rather
be somewhere else in a place Of greater dignity
and greater profit.

THE TPTPTJON OF HAUNA LOA.

II Is not difficult to understand why the
latest volcanic outbreak in the Sandwich ISL
ands should not he heard Of in this country
until after the one in Sicily, although 1t now
appears that It began week or ten days be-
fore the latter Etna Is in direct telegraphic
communication with the rest OF the civilized
world. whereas Mauna Loa Is doubly separated
therefrom 1t is situated upon. and In fact
forms n part of, the island of Hawaii, which
must rely on mail steamers to reach Honolulu;
and THAI seaport Is obliged to employ the same
means for correspondence with the rest of tie
American empire. Hawaii Is the largest Of the
cluster of islands to which IL gives its name.
but 1t is not densely populated and inasmuch
as the recent eruption was not anticipated it
is probable that the details now being supplied
come from persons who left Honolulu several
| days after the disturbance began.
This event draws fresh attention to one OF
| the most famous scenes Of volcanic action in
the world Except for a few small coral reefs,
| all Of the islands in this group have been built
up exclusively by the election of molten rock
| from the interior of the earth. Etna, with a
circumference Of ninety miles, and rising TO a
height Of nearly 900 feet is a truly amazing
| thing TO contemplate But the island of Ha-
wall. two of whose five volcanic peaks are al
most l4,000 feet high, is more than twice as
wide as the base Of Sicily's terrible uplft. And
the most remarkable fact about Hawaii Is that
by far the greater part OF II is under water.
The sea here is from 1900 to $1,000 feet deep.
And the slope Of Mauna Loa and the other
Hawaiian volcanoes is gentle that II seldom
amounts to ten degrees. Now H. In magina-
ton, the profile Of the visible island, seventy
or eighty miles across at sea level, be continued
downward for two and half or three miles,

which the geoogists believe has all come up
out OF the bowels Of the earth, is something ap-
palling, especially when the forces which were
required 70 construct II are considered.

As is their custom, Messrs. b. G..

Mckinley, on Saturday, one Of the
best of their celebrated fishing reels.
Senator Lindsay presented the reel at
the request Of Messrs. Milan. The
President was much gratifled at the

reels are celebrated everywhere that
fishermen enjoy their sport, and
recently took gold medal at an ex-

These gentlemen have presented
every President reel, commencing
with President Arthur.

HonOrs Their Memory.

President Mckinley issued an
order, on Monday, eulogizing the
brave boys who sacrificed their lives,
both in the army and navy, in the
late war, and whose remains have
been brought home for interment.
The following is the concluding
paragraph of the executive order:
For those of the brave officers and
men who are to be buried i'm the
National Cemetery, / order that, upon
the arrival Of the cOrtege at the
National Cemetery at Arlington. all
proper military and naval honors
he paid TO the dead heroes; that suit
able ceremonies shall attend their
interment; that the customary salute
of mourning be fred at the GENE
terry; and that on the same day at 2
O'Clock p. M, Thursday, April 6, the
national ensign be displayed at half
staff on all public buildings, forts,
camps and public vessels of the
United States; and that at II o'clock
noon of said day, all the departments
of the government at Washington
shall be closed.
WIN. MCKINLEY,
BY the Presidents:
JOHN HAY,
Secretary of State.
The bodies were inferred i'm the
National Cemetery, at Arlington, on
Thursday last, with due solemnity
and with the hOnors of war.
America never forgets her citizen
soldiers, and this fact, as much AS
any thing else, makes heroes of every
man, who wears the uniform. No
wonder then, that Spain looked in
establishment at the unialtering
courage with which our boys stormed
their strongest works.

Frankfort Boy Applies.

Senator Lindsay made application,
on Saturday, to the President for the
appointment Of Mr.. Eugene Hall, of
this city, as Assistant Paymaster in
the navy. Mr.. Hall served i'm this
capacity during the late war. as n
volunteer. There are number of
appointments to be made, and the
President has said that he would
make the appointments from those
having had experience. This makes
Mr.. Hall's chances good, and his
friends here are hoping that he will
be appointed.
