TIE Il. and o..s Rehabilitation.

The dissolution of the B. and o. receiver
ship closes an episode in railroad financier-
ing in which the District of Columbia is di-
rectly interested. For many years the peo-
pie of the capital have been asking for an
abatement of the grade crossing nuisance.
The righteousness of their demands has
been generally recognized. The Baltimore
and Ohio road. which cuts into the center
of the city at grade on two lines. has never
been able seriously to oppose logical OBJ
stacles to the movement toward reform in
this direction. but nevertheless nothing has
been accomplished This is owing partly
to the condition of the corporations
finances, and partly to the example set by
the Pennsylvania in its long fight for the
precise kind of terminal rearrangements
best suiting it's own purposes. Several
years ago the B. and o. management prac
ticaIly agreed to elevate the tracks, bring
ing them into the city on viaducts. A bill
to this end was prepared with every assur
ance that it would meet with no opposition
from the company. 1t provided for the
financing of the enterprise apart from the
state of the roads treasury, by the organi-
cation of terminal company whose credit
would stand upon an Independent basis.
Despite this plan nothing was done. A dis
pute arose among the company's engineers
as to the feasibility of a single viaduct in
stead of two and the matter fell into
neglect, while the company's financial en-
barressments accumulated.
The receivers have wrought so we'll that
they turn over the road now with every
prospect that it will be able to earn not
only its fixed charges but substantial dvi-
dend on its stock as well. They have re-
habilitated the property and have placed it
on thoroughly modern basis. Their trust
has been fulfilled with rare fidelity md
skill. There should now be no reason what
ever for further delay in the matter of the
terminal improvements. The old plan of
special organization to construct the via
ducts for the road is still available The
roads credit is restored, the plans are per-
fected Meanwhile the other corpora ton
with local grade crossings has practically
reached an agreement with the authorities
with an excellent prospect that the South
Washington nuisance will be abated in the
course of very few seasons. With the
force of this example in mind the restora-
ton of prosperity to the B. and Q. ought to
mean now that both great works will soon
be undertaken in spirit of earnest desire
to modernize the Washington terminals in
every respect

Filipino Activity in Europe.

The following is cabled from London:
MART. the representative of Aguinaldo
who was recently in Europe and later went
TO Hong Kong on his way TO Manila, has
returned to London, where the members of
the Filipino Jurta are endeavoring TO OBJ
tain interview with Senator Hoar and
other Americans with the object of secur-
ing concessions to Aguinaldo and promoting
peace The departure from Madrid is also
imminent of prominent Filipino, who is
going 10 Washington with a similar object
as the representative of the Manila autono-
mist peace committee"
Can it be that there are any Americans
in Europe. of high OF low degree, willing to
confer with emissaries of Aguinaldo on
the subject of his pretensions to recogni-
ticn by this government? The inquiry is of
special pertinenee in the case of Senator
Hoar. as he will by reason of his office be
called upon when Congress meets to pass
upon the whole Philippine question Why
take UP any one feature OF it now. and par
ticularly as presented by those who are in
revolt against the laws of this country?
1t seems hardly necessary TO point out the
very great difference between comforting
with agents Of Aguinaldo at this time. and
last fall and winter. when several of them
made their appearance here in Washington.
Then. and notably while the Peace Com
mission was sitting in Paris. the Philippine
5IestiOn was open to discussion. 1t Is true
mat Aguinaldo had no official standing at
Manila. here. or at Paris. But he had
right to his views as TO the future OF. the
Philippines. and 70 present them in an in
formal way. Those who listened to his
agents at this capital then INDUCED merely
in an exhibition of good nature.
But We have a radically different situation
now Aguinaldo is an armed enemy of this
government. He is at the head of a force
whose object it is to compel a settlement
by the arbitrament of war. He is therefore
not only not entitled to have his views
considered while he holds this attitude, but
several Of his petitions made by special en-
voys TO General Otis have been rejected
He has been told distinctly that not until
he lays down his arms and submits his
case in the proper way may he hope to
gain the ear of those in authority.
There can be no change in this purpose.
be the agents Of Aguinaldo in Europe or
elsewhere never so busy. But If there are
American citizens. in office or out. who are
dickering with Filipino juntas, through
sympathy or for any other reason. the fact
should be known and investigated.

Kuttawa, in the southwest. Nor were the
managers on the floor from the mountains.
The leaders Of the whole outfit were from
the fertile and most charming sections of
the commonwealth.
The Sun is nearer the mark in calling at
tention to the absence from the convention
of the men who have for years represented
the democracy of the state. Mr.. Black
burn alone of the old leaders was present.
Mr.. Carlisle is practically an exile in New
York. Senator Lindsay is marked for de-
capitation as soon as the headsman can get
round to him. Mr.. Watterson is under the
ban, although his newspaper will support
the ticket. Colonel Breckenridge is prac-
ticing law at Lexington. No one of them
could have been elected a delegate to the
convention on account of his financial
views. The revolution Is complete. Young
er, and as yet obscure, men are in full
charge of the party and its machinery,
and they are setting a lively pace from the
very post.
But those who know the Kentucky noun
taineer do not recognize him in that week
long racket at Louisville. That is not his
style of procedure. He enters into no
bowling match. The noise he delights in is
the crack of his rifle He would not strain
his voice except to call his hogs from the
woods or his dogs from the kennels. Swell
tering in a hot hall and bullyragging a pre-
siding officer with concerted yells and cat
calls is an employment beneath his gravity
and sense of personal dignity. He leaves
that for them town fellers,'' for whom he
feels a large measure of contempt.

Cleveland. Bad object Lesson,

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
To the rejecting spectator of some of
the scenes of lawlessness in the streets of
Cleveland during the past fortnight one of
the most startling and ominous features has
been the effect on the young.
Boys of school age. and some of them in
the younger grades. have taken part in the
stone throwing at the cars. Children have
assailed the operators of the cars and the
passengers with opprobious epithets. Boys
and girls of tender years have assisted in
dragging distractions upon the car tracks
and danced with glee around those obstruc-
tons that were not unlikely the same night
to wreck fire engine, kill firemen and re-
suit in the destruction of their own homes,
and perhaps of themselves, by the fire to
which the engines were Fastening.
In the schools during the term just closed
lessons of good citizenship, respect for the
rights of others and regard for life and
property have been taught for months In
q fortnight after the close of the schools
those lessons have been unlearned by many
of the children.
Schools of anarchy have been open in
different parts of the city and they have
had many eager pupils. The lessons they
have learned will not readily be forgotten.
This is a matter on which the people of
Cleveland should do some serious thinking,

The Ball.

There was sound of revelry by night and
Hawaii's not Belgiums capital had indeed gather
ed its beauty and its chivalry." Bright the
lamps shone DER fair women and brave men.
The Fourth of July ball is always the social event
of the year from a Terpsichorean point of view
at all events. 1t is eagerly looked forward to and
as eagerly enjoyed. There mingle in the may
whirl the bellies and beaux of all nations and if
some of Our foreign neghbors and co-citizens
eschew the waltz, they thoroughly enjoy the bril-
liant throng, the laughter, the beauty, the crash
of the orchestra and themselves add in no small
degree to the tout ensemble that makes such
ball in Honolulu unique affair from the con-
mingling of almost all the nations in honor of
the glorious fourth. The decorations deserve
more than passing mention, they were rich and
yet not elaborate. The floor had been carefully
scraped and prepared and was in capital condl-
ton. The orchestra surpassed itself. The pic
ture when the ball was at its lleighth was one long
to be remembered The rise and fall of the waltz
the CLEAN of pretty faces and bare shoulders,
the whirl of costly, tasteful draperes-the sparkle
OF jewels set off by the severer clothes OF the
conference.-the uniforms of the naval and mill
tary officers from the Argentine training ship and
our own transport Sheridan, combined to make
the ball a triumph for the committee and pride in
the hearts of the American colony. The commit
tee indeed did nobly. The gallery was welcome
and novel feature. The refreshments in the large
tent ample and of good quality while the dressing
and cloak rooms were decided improvement on
former occasions. The drill shed was happy
thought and suitable place for such an occasion.

Fireworks.

The committee on lights and fireworks had very
little time in which to get together supplies-set
pieces being precluded by the lack of time. If
the time had not interfered the rain undoubtedly
would. However the rain could not interfere
with most successful display. Crowds thronged
about Union Square and stayed there despite the
sprinkling rain, while hundreds more stayed on
home verandas and watched the bombs soaring
high above the buildings to break in showers of
golden rain and fiery serpents, or float in red
white and blue globes of fire above the city. The
lighting of the Executive Building was most
effective Electric lights were the agent. They
hung from the central flag pole, they ernblazoned
in colors an enormous shield atop of the building
and lined with stars of light the bold outlines of
the facade

members of the committee are to be congratulated
on the fine showing they made.
