WHEN A democrat becomes so "inde'
pendent" as to imagine that he knows
better what is good for his party than
it does, and to 90 his own way, irrespec-
tive of the course it takes, he has taken
the first step toward radical and parti-
san republicanism, and it is rarely long
before he reaches it. Representative
Sibley, of Pennsylvania, affords a pat
emit example of this truth. Some South
ern Senators have taken the first step
alluded to. For their own good, they
should 90 hack at once, for in such a
matter delay is more than dangerous,
and Presidential favors are very seduct-

STREET RAILWAYS ATODDS.

Arguments in the case of the Wash

Railroad Company against the Anacos.
tia and Potomac River Railroad Com
pany, in which the former prays that
the latter be epjoined from using its
underground conduits and electrical
apparatus on Fourteenth street, be.
tween E and B streets northwest, Occu.
pied the attention of Equity Court, No
2, of Washington, yesterday afternoon.
The matter came up for cOnsidera.
ton on the answer of the defendant
filed by Attorney J. J. Darlington. The
answer contends that under the recipro.
Cal trsckage clause OF q certain act Of
Congress respecting street railways in
the District, that it has a right to run
its cars over the tracks OF the complain.
act company.
1t charges that the monopolization OF
the entire space between the tracks
was for the very purpose OF embarrass-
ing and preventing another company
from using the motive power then COM
ing into vogue under legislative require
ment.
The defendant admits that it claims
the right to occupy the use OF the COM
plainant company's conduits, conduc.
tor bars, and connections upon fair
terms Of compensation to be fixed by
agreement, if the Mount Vernon Com
pany is willing to enter into such an
equitable arrangement for compensa-
ton, or otherwise to be determined by
the court.
Mr.. Darlington, after reading the an
swer. supported it by number of afii-
dsvits showing that the entire under
ground space was occupied by the
Mount Vernon Company's conduits so
that it was entirely impossible for the
defendant to construct conduit beside
it. Mr.. Nathaniel Wilson appeared
for the Washington, Alexandria and
Mount Vernon Railway and argued
that the use of the conduits was not
contem plated 10 the reciprocal track
age law, and that for the defendant
company to make use of the complain
ants underground equipments would
DO the same as to take and make use
of its property. The argument con-
tinued this morning before Jus ice
Barnard, presiding in Equity Court, No.
2, in Washington.
