DETERMINE THE ROUTE LATER

The one error which, as it seems to
The Globe, should be avoided In
moving for a cross town street rail-
way line is permitting the main ques-
ton to be lost sight of or shelved in
second place by discussing at this time
the choice of routes. For that is pre-
cisely the game which the obstruction
lists would like us to play. Nothing
would be simpler than to reply: Gen
tlemen, as soon as you are agreed
among yourselves as to where the line
should be built. we will go ahead. AS
long as you are not harmonious on that
point, we will wait until you have come
to some decision before we do any
thing at all"
Now there are two fixed facts about
this question Of the best route for a
cross town line: One is that the public
will never come to a unanimous agree
ment about it, and the other is that 1t
Is really immaterial. There are inter
ests which are for and others against
the Dale street route; the same is true
of the proposal to use Victoria street;
there is even a suggestion to connect
Seven corners with the Rice street
line, which would be convenience, 1T
is true, but merely confuses the sub
ject of a cross town line and would not
at all fill that need. If we get to de-
batting such details, we shall wait ten
years more for what we require so
pressingly.
| TIL Clio b has expressed the opin-
ion that Dale street would be the best
to use, giving the reasons that support
this belief. These reasons rest solely
upon the greatest convenience of the
greatest number of persons to be serv-
ed, disInissing all personal or local pref
erences But The Glob has no pet
project; and what 1t does want to see
is this whole branch of the discussion
postponed, as breeder Of discord and
a scattering OF effort, until the full
force of the community has been ex-
erted to demand cross town line in
general terms.
For, as We have said. the particular
route TO be Followed is. after all, rela-

Civilian Commanders.

English officers are now explaining
why things happened as they did in
South Africa, and why it took nearly
three years to wear out so insignificant
an enemy. The complaint of Lord
Wolseley is particularly interesting in
this country. He says that the COM
mander in chief has become the fifth
wheel to the coach, and that the secre-
tary Of state for war is the actual COM
mander-in- chief. Secretary Root is
about to retire from office~in a blaze Of
glory over the fact that he has in
stalled the secretary Of war as the
COMMUNICATIVE chief Of the army and
got rid Of the commanding general en-
tirely. Readers of Grants Memoirs"
may remember his going in person
from City Point to the upper Potomac
to give to Gen. Sheridan the orders for
the Shenandoah campaign lest the or
ders should be delayed or changed by
Secretary Stanton.-Philadelp Rec

Another Unheeded EuImination.

Again and again, and yet again, the
edict that the range fences must come
down has gone forth from the depart
ment of the interior, and still the
wealthy ranChmen's barbed wire fences
encircle wide areas of our public do
main. This edict, though Illuminated
from high place, has come TO be re-
garded as about as effective as the
stern orders of a politically handi-
capped chief Of police to his nominal
subordinates. enjoining upon them
strict attention Of duty. If the fences
must come down, as the public has
been assured time and again that they
really must, why are they not taken
down? Authority is impeached and
respect for it weakened by every order
issued by it's agents that is ignored

Some Questions.

How would you like to be an Ameri-
can toy pistol manufacturer who knew
that his products had sent 1853 of his
fellow citizens in one day to their
graves? How would you like to be an
American toy pistol dealer who knew
that he was providing children with
the means of self-destruction? How
would you like to be an American may
or or chief of police who knew that his
failure to enforce the city ordinances
households? How would you like to be
an American father who knew that his
lack of control over his children was
bringing to his door the annual posi-
bilfty of being-at any rate negatively
his children's murderer?
The answers to these questions will
not be printed. 1t would be unlxind
and unsafe to print them. They would
be too humiliating to the American
people.-Chicago Tribune

Law and Speed

There is large class of legal minds
who look upon the machinery of JUS
tice and the procedure of the court as
a sacred contriVance to make the con-
viction and punishment of criminals
an extremely difficult matter, especially
if they are able to command the serv-
ice of an able and resourceful criminal
lawyer.
The interests of the public have been
lost sight Of in the exclusive considera-
ton of the interests of the accused.
This tendency has been overdone and
there is very wide reaction against it.
Lynch law is one expression of this re-
action, but the larger minds of the
legal profession are beginning to feel
its force, and the plea for swift legal
justice is heard now in high places

Strikes Retard schooIina.

Chicago Is not the only city in the
United States which has found that the
labor problem fnterferes with the edu-
cation of its children. New York has
had similar experience. There have
been strikes on certain New York
school buildings. Consequently New
York win be obliged this fall to refuse
sittfngs to many thousand children. The
total number of schoolless children, in
Guiding those who are schoolless for
other reasons than unfinished buildings,
will be about $4,000. Most of these
children will be schoolless because of
strikes on the buildings which they
would have Chicago Tri-
bune.

The Better Plan.

1t is far better that the revenue
should be reduced by cutting down the
tariff taxes than that a vast surplus
should be deposited in national banks
with railroad bonds as security for it.
Better let the people keep their money
than to take it from them and then lend
1t back to them at a big rate of inter-
est, the interest going to enrich the
banks. There may be need for elastic
currency legislation. but the first thing
to be done is to cut down the surplus
by reducing the tariff taxes.-Savan-

Lafayette Opera House.

David Harum'' is once again visiting
the national capital for a week. The La
fayette Opera House is his present head
quarters, and he may be seen at popular
prices. This pronounced comedy success,
dramatized from Edward Noyes Wescott's
famous novel. served as profitable vehicle
for that accomplished actor, William II.
Crane. through several seasons, and, judg-
ing from the enthusiastic reception accord
ed 1t last evening by an audience that took
possession of the greater portion of the
seating capacity of the Lafayette, the play
bids fair to continue to entertain theater-
goers for an indefinite period. The story
Is not only genuinely amusing, but con-
nected and sensible. The title role is now
assigned to William II. Turner, and he por-
trays the inveterate horse trader and coun-
try banker artistcally and in a manner
very true to life. MIR. Turner is surround
ed by competent company. and the
mountings are all that could reasonably be
desired. BY no means the least popular
member of the cast, but one whose name
does not appear on the printed program, is
a beautiful horse. The presence of the ami
NAL and a rain storm of genuine water as
sists very materially in adding to the real
ism of the production. The consensus OF
opinion last evening seemed to be that
David Harum,' as presented by Mr. Tur-
ner and his company, is among the best OF
the productions seen at the Lafayette In a
long time.

Columbia Theater.

whats the Matter With SUSAN" is the
interrogatory title of Leo Ditrichstein'S new
play, presented by Miss Alice Fischer at the
Columbia Theater last night, and the en-
tire audience gave back the trite answer,
She's all right with ringing enthusiasm.
The question, however, does not hinge on
generalities, but it is occasioned particu-
larly by the wonderful change which comes
over the dominating and almost irascible
Aunt Susan in the third and final act Of
the piece The play afforded delightful
evenings entertainment. Mr.. Ditrichstein
has written a decidedly clever comedy. In
his construction of the play the author has
shown his Characteristic appreciation of
minor details, and has introduced many
novel devices to arouse the riSibilitieS of the
audience. There is just suggestion Of the
shrewish Katherine in the character of
Susan Powers, played by Miss Fischer, but
1t would be rather II straining Of the i'm
agina ton to closely identify the breezy,
vigorous. witty and always interesting
Susan of Miss Fischer with that acrd type
of woman depicted by Shakespeare. for at
heart Susan is thoroughly sympa thetic, and
even In her frequent exhibitions of temper
this quality is not entirely concealed.
The scenes are laid in a small town on
the banks of the Hudson of which Susan
Powers is the dominant parsonage. She I'M
dertaltes the management of the household
of her brother-in-law, a good-natured,
easy-going fellow. and finds 1t necessary to
rule with iron hand. She is equal to the
emergency. An early disappointment In
love has aroused her skepticism with regard
to the sincerity of the male sex, and she
has endeavored to eliminate all sentiment
from her nature. The interest begins in
earnest when Susan discovers the cook
throwing her arms about the neck Of Lieut..
Kelly, the handsome instructor of tactics at
West Point Miss Fischer is as thoroughly
magnetic in her present role as in her play
of last season, Mrs. Jack" When she is
on the stage everything goes with that
breezy and refreshing vigor that has char
acterized her former acting, and she seems
to have no difficulty to dominate the scenes
and to captivate the audience. William
Harcourt, as Lieut.. Kelly. gives an excel
lent Interpretation of his role and proves
an adequate support to Miss Fischer.
George Fox creates no little amusement in
his antics as the stage-struck pumpkin, and
Charles Bradshaw, as the bibulous country
editOr-politician, merited his share of the
applause for his contribution to the anus
ing features of the play. in his courtship of
tie widowed Mrs. Knox. played by Esther
Titell. The part of Susan's brother-in-iaw
is .essayed by Edwin Holt, who gives {,
creditable performance, and Edith Barker
is amusing as the cook.

Red Riding Hood.

The rendition of Little Red Riding
Hood at the Lafayette Opera House yes
terfay afternoon by school children of the
District under the auspices of the Chill
drens League, was accomplished with
credit to the mana cement and to the young
artists VINO made up the cast slight
hesitancy was noticeable on the part Of
some who apparently experienced a mild
stage fright, but the leading roles were
carried by young girls who displayed
rational conception of their parts. Little
Miss Stella Raymond captivated the audi
ence with her sweet voice and expressive
countenance, and as Red Riding Hood she
sustained herself with compOsure and easy
grace. She sang the nursery ditties, 1.-THE
Wolf at the Door" and "Chickory, Chick
DRY. Chick" in way that pleased every
one. Olga Hempstone. as the mother of
Red Riding Hood, was quite natural.
The program was concluded with large
number OF songs and dances. Notable
among these were the performances of
Master Irwin Cosgrove, who sang Rags"
and of Miss Pauline Sullivan, a child of ten
or twelve years The Scotch songs and
dances by the Misses Lockwood, Sheetz and
Robinson were also we'll rendered. Audrey
johnson and Irwin Cesgrove sang up in
a Cocoanut Tree better than many older
artists could have done. Much amusement
was occasioned by the dance of the jumping
jacks and dolls, performed by little tots
much smaller than many dolls. One of the
little dolls became bewildered and ran en-
tlrely or the stage into the wings The
