Too Fast for Mexico.

Il made the survey for the street car
lines in the City of Mexico" said the civil
engineer, according to the Cincinnati Com
mercial Tribune, "and when we got the
tracks down and the cars running we had
laughable time. Young men of the first
families not only ventured to act as drivers
and conductors, but insisted on taking
those places without wages. The thing
was like a new toy to children. People
paid fare or withheld it, just as they saw
fit, and some would ride around for half
day. The Yankee superintendent of
these lines was in a sweat all the time, but
was kicking against a stone wall The
tracks were single ones with switches
here and there for the cars to pass. but
such little things didn't bother the drivers.
Some of them would start the mules on a
dead run and go clear TO the end of the
line, and others would pull out on a
switch and go to sleep or indulge in games
with the passengers. guess it was two
months before the drivers consented to
give up their siesta hours. At II O'Clock
precisely the mules were brought TO a
halt, no matter where the car was. and
the driver would walk off to eat. sleep and
smoke and be gone two hours No Mexi-
| can ever hurries. Most of the complaints
received were to the effect that the cars
went too fast. Even after we got things
| somewhat systematized, Don Pablo Chora
the president of the road, returned from a
trip one day to say to the manager:
All, senior, but 1 am afraid we shall
never get our people to accept this enter
prise!
What is wrong now?' was asked.
Why, one of our greatest merchants
paid his fare to be taken 10 the Alameda
in twenty minutes, and 10! and behold
| the driver cut the time down to fifteenl
| We shall be ruined by moving things
around too quickly. Let us tie up the legs
of the mules and take the whips away
| from the drversr"

An accident which occurred during the
first Cleveland administration Illustrates
the good feeling existing between the
newspaper men and the chief of the bu-
reau of naval construction, says the Phil
adelphia Post. A certain correspondent
who was on particularly intimate terms
with the chief called a his office and was
received with the usual cordiality
Calling the correspondent by his first
name, the chief said: Look here, Blank.
1 want you to do something for me- MIR.
IS appointment to a place in this de-
partment, after being fought through two
Congresses, has prevailed, has been signed
by Secretary Whitney, and only awaits
the signature of the President. You of all
men in Washington can find out what ac-
ton the President win take, and l think
you know a way TO prevent the document
being signed"
The correspondent replied: 81 think I
know a way" He left the building and
went for Miss -, who was al that time
doing Washington society for the Asso-
ciated Press. To her he told the story and
explained what he wanted done.
Miss obtained an audience with
Mrs. Cleveland, and told what she came
for Mrs Cleveland went to the Presi-
dents desk and singled out a paper with
the remark: There, guess this is the
one you mean" She then turned a cor
ner of the document down and left it.
In the course of his work the President
came to the paper, and then, in a sur
prised tone, said to Secretary Lamont:
Dan, do you know anything about this
appointment.
Mr.. Lamont didn't know anything about
it.
"Wen." said the President, Frances
has evidently turned this down for pur-
nose: / guess it's all right" And the Of
fetal signature was not attached.

Il looks as if the government might
have to pay a good round sum because Of
the error Of the captain OF the cruiser New

which released the ship as not being a
lawful prize, held that the owners could
not recover damages for detention and loss
through process of law. 1t is held, how

that there will be a combination of the
rice milling interests, if the scheme works

CURRENT COMMENT.

There win be no politics discussed at
The Hague and the sessions of the peace
conference viii be secret. The Chicago
Record Qnd) says: 1.-THE Armenians
Jews, Flnlanders, Polanders and other
prosecuted peoples thought that. the con-
gress would be a welcome opportunity to
bring their troubles before an interna-
tlonal tribunal, and our own government
has been asked by Polanders, Finlanders
and Armenians to cali the attention Of the
congress at The Hague to the persecu-
tions of the Finlanders, Poles and Jews in
Russia and TO the massacres of the Chris
tians in Armenia. Our government, how
ever is poWerless. Our delegates are
bound by the programme formulated by
Russia, and the latter as well as Austria
and Turkey, or any other country with a
mixed or troublesome population, will not
deviate an iota from the original pro-
gramme."
The New Orleans Picayune (Dem.) says:
"The difficulty of condemning bloody Grim
inals TO death on any evidence whatever
has induced in many the belief that con-
signmcnt 30 prison for life in place of
capital punishment, would secure many
convictions. But when il is realized that
work of trial juries, and thereby to de-
clare to the juries that they have been
guilty of great crimes against the liber-
ties and rights of men who have done no
wrong, it is astonishing that juries, after
being SO persistently and constantly and
officially rehuked, would have the hardi-
hood to convict anybody for any crime on
any evidence whatever. Is there any
wonder that the people generally have no
confidence in and little respect for the abil-
i,y of the courts to protect society and ex-
ecute justice?
The Louisville Courier-Journal Dem.)
says: Ex-senator PETER says that the
chief cause of popular hostility to rail-
roads is that they are immensely over
| capitalized, and that the people have to
pay tolls on the companies debts as well
as on the property used in their business.
MIR. PETER has not been out of Congress

Mr.. Carnegie is probably sorry that he
said it is a disgrace for a man to die rich,
or words to that effect; for ever since he
said it, and it became known that he
would retire from business with a number
of millions to dispense, the beggars have
been after him like a Kansas regiment
after Filipinos. and Mr. Carnegie has been
obliged to fee to the mountains. But Mr.
Carnegie ought not to think unkindly of
the beggars. They mean merely TO aid in
