spair of both Brown and his wife.
Then the father arrives upon the
scene, and he is told his son is visiting
man by the name Of Brown; this
naturally compels the introduction of
Mrs. Brown, as we'll as her husband.
One OF the friends, in ignorance OF the
marriage, is persuaded to play the
part of Brown. He finds it much to
his liking, and proceeds to make love
to the lady in earnest, a proceeding
which the husband is powerless to
prevent without revealing the very
thing he is trying to conceal.
Matters are further complicated by
the fact that the pseudo Brown is
supplied with two wives to suit the
different emergencies, and is finally
accounted a Mormon by the irascible
father. who has caused all the trouble.
Ultimately, matters are Strengthened
out by the son confessing the fact that
he is married. and, as the old gentle

Another Human Sacrifice.

Just beyond the city limits along the
line Of the Metropolitan branch of the Bal
tiInore and Ohio road. through one of the
populous suburbs of Washington, several
improved streets cross the railroad tracks.
OF course at grade. By some slip of ad-
formally condemned as public thorough
fares at the points of crossing. The rail-
road company, taking advantage of this
Iact, has never properly guarded the
tracks, though il has, with a single ex-
ceptton, allowed the streets to remain open
and in use. thus inviting the public to
cross the tracks. Whenever requested to
provide safety gates the company has with
the exception noted. declined TO do so. A
year or so ago a serious accident-one of a
series-occurred at X street and reluctantly
the company provided a gate there Two

The public will expect a clear explanation
of the reason why 1t was attempted yes
terday morning on the Glen Echo road to
run cars toward each other on the same
track 1t is said that one Of the tracks
was being repaired and that the other was
being used temporarily to permit continuous
traffic Yet there seems to have been no
precaution against accident and the re-
sponsibility for this negligence must be
fully determined before the people will be
satisfied. Such accidents are inexcusable
and heavy burden of blame rests some
where. There is tendency in the manage
ment of most suburban lines to ignore the
ordinary rules of care. For time all goes
well. and then without warning dreadful
disaster occurs and 1t is discovered too late
that the public safety has been continuous
~ endangered. The frequent inspection OF
these lines is required to ensure compare
tive immunity from accidents. When as

Mr.. Croker. English Champion.

Henry Labouchere's championship of
Richard Croker is both appropriate and
amusing. a London evening newspaper
having attacked Mr.. Croker for an express
sion of some rather aggressive pro-Boer
sentiments Mr.. Labouchere in Truth reads
his hated contemporary lecture on the
subject. denouncing the attack "as abuse
of patriotism and a gross breach of the
laws of hospitality and good manners to-
ward an American who has paid US the
compliment of acquiring home in Eng
land and whose conduct among us is be-
yond reproach-'
Mr.. Labouchere of course cared not cop
per one way or the other about the matter.
He knows the United States very well,
having lived here at one time and having
visited the country several times since. He
knows Mr.. Cookers size and consequence
al home as we'll as in England. He might
have permitted Mr.. Croker and the London
newspaper 10 cancel each other. There had
been a. much of violation of the laws of
hospitality and good manners on one side
as on the other. Mr.. Croker could have
been excused on the score of not knowing
any better. and the London newspaper on
the score of not knowing that.
But the topic was precisely to Mr.. La
bouchere's taste. We have nobody just like
quick of Wit and cynical of spirit; with no
settled convictions of his own and impa-
tent of convictions in others, he occupies
himself a little with art. a little with poll
tics. and u little with weekly Journalism.
lie calls himself radical, and this ena-
bles him TO go his own gait in parliament.
He would be stripped of all his uses and
pleasures if he Were obliged to support a
definite policy of any kind for any length
of time. His only hobby is to make other
people as uncomfortable as possible: and
this he does without any particular malice
toward anybody. He offers up even friend
ship on the altar of a smart phrase or
paragraph.
The Boer war has brought out Mr. La
bouchere in great form. 1t has given him
a chance to sharply antagonize nearly all
of his countrymen, and to pose as one of
the few Englishmen having their country's
tonor truly at heart. And he has played
n that string delightfully."-. He has de-
generals in the field, deplored the degen-
eracy of the English people, and masquer
AIDED generally as prO-BOer to the core.
But Il IS little he has cared about the
Beers. He feels himself fully rewarded if
he has given any serious man in England
bad quarter of an hour over one of his out
bursts of simulated passion for liberty and
fair play with his own country as the OBJ
tect of his rebuke

ish these grade crossings will become
law within nearly a year. II then. Nhen a
law has been enacted there must be many
months of delay before actual protection
is afforded the public through the closing
of most of the streets in the affected
suburb and the provision of safety cross
iEgs above or below the tracks at others
The pending bill allows five years for the
work At the least calculation 1t will be
two years or more before relief from these
perils can be given. Meanwhile, despite
the frailty of title to the street crossing
rights. the Commissioners should insist that
every one of these improved streets be
guarded by gates or else blocked entirely
to traffic.
1t may well be questioned whether the
courts would sustain a plea by the rail-
road that the lack of condemnation across
the right of way gives 1t the privilege now,
after years of uninterrupted and unQues-
toned use of an improved street. of re-
fusing to provide safety gates. The fact
that in one instance the cftys right or &C
cess across the tracks has been recog-
nized by the installation of gate would
initiate against such a plea.
In any event, the moral requirements In
the case warrant extreme measures to put
end to the murderous conditions in
lexington. which has become, to all In
tents and purposes, part OF the city
proper even though 1t lies north of the
imaginary and long outgrown Boundary.
There is at least no warrant for the rail-
road company to multiply the dangers of
these crossings by blocking the view with
freight cars and thus inviting the people
to their death.
Meanwhile the accident of yesterday will
by no means add to the public patience
with the railroad companys proposition
that the government and the District pay
1t s1.JO0OOO as bonus for abolishing grade
crossings. Even were the roads record clear.
were there no long list of tragedies due
to the criminal negligence and parsimony
of the company, had the public been guard
ed from danger at all points in the urban
area during the years of waiting. the de-
mand for this enormous premium would
appeal but family to the community.
