ANTI-sCALPING LAWS.
Little Prospect for Further Action
in New York.

PHILADELPHIA. July Ut IS not be
Ieyed by Pennsylvania Railroad officials
that an further steps viii he taken by
the New York Central and other railroads
operating in New ! CTk State for the en-
forcement Of the Anti-Scalping law re-
Gently passed by the Legislature Of that
State, and which has since been declared
unconstitutional by the ppellate Division
Of the Supreme Court of New York An
official OF the Pennsylvania said that if
the scalping question and its evils had
been fully understood by the lawyers in
the case the decision might have been diff
ferent Under the decision. he said il
now remains with the railroads in New
York if they want TO protect themselves
and the travelling public against scslIpers,
to have the contract or stipulation upon
each ticket issued under special low rates
and conditions signed by the purchaser,
as Is done in case Of the special low-rate
Pan-American tickets to Buffalo
The courts Of Pennsylvania and New
Jersey have time and time decided that
the stipulations and conditions printed
upon a ticket. where purchased and &C
cepted by a passenger, constituted a con
tract. The Interstate Commerce Com
mission. after il was organized, took
practically the same view as that taken
by the New York court When the mat
ter had been fully explained to it's mem
hers they changed their views on the sub
ject and have never since in their reports
urged the necessity and Importance Of
Congress passing an anti-scaIping law
The late AIdace +. Walker. one of the
members Of the original Commission
when first approached upon the subject
Of anti-ScaIpIng. said
Whenever / ct to New York 1 hunt
I'd a scaIIer-s office and buy my ticket
for Washington, as / can purchase it
cheaper than YOU fellows sell it" Mr.
Walker subsequently, Gfter having looked
thoroughly into the question. completely
changed mis- views and became a strong
advocate OF anti-scalping laws. as did
also Judge Cooley, Of the Commission

It is earnestly to be hoped that under
the leadership Of Ex-Governor Pattison
the Democratic party of Philadelphia
may become a strong factor in breaking
the power CT the unprincipled ring that

country and aroused the Indignation Of

movement Tor reform, which may be well
enough If feasible. But the Democratic
organization will furnish a strong nucleus

effectively gather, and IL il is properly or

Major General Baden-Powen. the heroic
defender of Mafeking. and one of the few
British settlers who have reflected credit
on the national arms IN South Africa, has
arrived in England on sick leave So far
his reception has been enthusiastic; but
at latest accounts he had not reached
London, where it will be interesting to
note what kind of greeting he viii receive
from the King and Court Although Ba-
den-PoweI's achievements were brilliant
beyond those Of most of his comrades he
was all but ignored in the distribution Of
rewards, being merely gazetted Com
panion Of the Order of St Michael and
St George, while Methuen and other
blunderers were given grand crosses and
knight commanderships. Perhaps his
sovereign may try to undo this wrong as
far as Il may be in his Majestys power
u do so. The Cecil family Of which Lord
Salisbury IS the head. do not appear to
like Baden-POweII. and that. if they made
a point OF 1t, would prevent the King
from securing for him knIghthood in any
Of the military orders. All Edward VII
could do would be to confer upon him the
Cross Of Knight Commander of the Veto
Ran Order, which is within the personal
gift Of the King.

Nov that the streets are paved are the
sidewalks to 60 unpaved for the next
year OF twol IL looks very much like
h. There are some streets in town on
which paving was completed several
months ago. the sidewalks of which are
in a fearful condition and menace to
hic and limb. The sidewalk around the
Executive Mansion on College Avenue
full remains unpaved. not TO mention that
Of numerous other localities. The City
Council should see to it that there be a
date limit 6xed tor the paving of all side
walks after the street paving is complet-
Cd. ard heavy fines should be imposed
in case Of failure to comply with the
same. II property holders do not attend
to the paving of their sidewalks the city
will lave several suits on its hands. A
woman in Baltimore recently got SIC, 900
damages for the loss OF an eye caused by
an obstruction on the public street. An
napolis cannot afford to pay such DANA
ges, and would do well to avoid causes
for a suit.

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad has
issued the October number of the Book
oflte Royal Bl4s. in memoriam of VIII
liam Mckinley. late president OF the
United States. The frontispiece is a
half-toue Of the President taken from a
photograph that was taken at the Execu-
tive Mansion in March 1895 The book
contains a briei sketch OF the President $
lite and character. and Of his death; ex-
tract from the sermon preached at his
funeral; his last message to the people.
that grand speech he made at Buffalo
the day previous to his assassination.
The ROYAL Blue also contains several
choice poems on the death of the Presi-
dent. II IS handsomely printed. on fine
material. and is a worthy publication Of
that old reliable road-the b. & o. to
ride over which travellers have every
comfort. and courtesy extended them.

an animated discussion took place be-
tore the City Council and Improvement
Commission last night-over questions Of
paving State Circle. and the streets
bounding on Governors Circle, in COM
pliance with an act passed by the last
Legislature. appropriating $1,000 in con-
junction with an equal sum by the city,
subject to the approval OF the State Board
OF Public Works, and the Attorney-Gen-
eral. 1t was commended by Counsellor
Claude that the work could not be done
and done properly at this season of the
year. Ex-Counsellor Moss pointed out
the importance OF having the work COM
pletsd before the assembling of the Leg
islature in January. as there were other
favors the city expected to ask OF the
Legislature, but it could not do so con-
sisten,ly II it did, nc carry out its obliga-
iions enacted by the last Legislature.
The arguments set forth by Mr.. Moss
were well taken. and it is gratifying to
say that the joint commission will act
upon these and the work will be allowed
% proceed.

rs an article on the conviction OF John
Most. the New York anarchist. the New
York Itsse5 says
s'Of course. nobody has any sort OF
aFmF thy with Most. There is even a
sense Of irritation that so detestable a per-
sou. who proclaims himself against all
iaw. should invoke the protection OF the
lsw which he affects to despise. Upon
his own principles Most would have no
cause Of complaint il anybody who dis
liked him should shoot him or blow him
up with dynamite.
"It is not on his account, but on &C
count OF the law itself, that it is desirable
to have an authoritative judicial decision
whether he was lawfully condemned.
The only way of obtaining such a deci-
sion is to bring his case before the Su-
preme Court. Until we know what the
law now permits and what it prohibits,
we repeat that we cannot know what
amendments to it. if any, are needed in
order to discourage the public u,terance
OF such sentiments as those Most makes
trade of protesting"
