a speed which varied at the will Of tho

also successfully hauled at the rate Of four

tween the railroads and tho officials and
there is no reason why this Apirit- should
not prevail to the end
The completion of the union terminal
will mean much to the railroads entering
Washington. Direct communications will
then be possible between all the lines. The
north and the south will then be physically
united In direct straight connections as
never before. 1t will be possible for the
companies to handle enormous crowds with
out embarrassment and to dispose Of the
ordinary traffic with exceptional ease. The
city. too, will derive a material advantage
from the construction of joint station and
the consolidation of the tracks to and from
the north along one route instead Of two.

Street Car Lights.

One of the few minor disadvantages of the
underground trolley system of street car
propulsion is the occa sional shutting off of
the lights when the car crosses over "cut-
or points in the line At these points the
conductor bars are interrupted to provide
for switches and cross overs and unless
the current is turned OF the piow arcs with
the conductor rails and damage is done to

1nJunctions to turn of their controllers at
each of these points. which on some of the
local lines aggregate several score in the
course of a round trip. In consequence the
lights of the cars are kept alternately blink

Mayor Low and Reform.

Tammany's bluff failed Mr.. Low will
stand for reelection. and has the promise
Of an enthusiastic support. Non-partisan
local government for New York city has
justified itself, according to those who es-
tablished 1t, and their desire Is that 1t be
continued. They pledge themselves to
another campaign of hard work, and there
seems good warrant for their hopefulness.
1t would have been absurd and suicidal
to appeal for the Endorsement of the reform
administration under any other leadership.
The record has been made under Mr. Low,
and what he stands for is known of all the
people of the municipality. Low and good
government are synonymous. He stands
not upon promises but performances. and
very substantial performances they are.
Having given the city the best government
it has ever had he may be expected, if re-
elected. to repeat himself in his second
term: and two consecutive terms of gov
eminent free from graft and misrule ought
to make decency in local affairs pretty solid

lieve that 1t considered him an easy mark.

Leader Murphy will be tested as never be-
fore in the matter of candidate and a

Tammanys candidate, it is plain enough.
must be a man as far as possible from the
Tammany standard In personal character,
but as near as possible to Tammany in
fuences in all things relating to the resto-
ration of Tammany's power in case of cleo
ton. The platform, in effect. must be an
appeal to party spirit; appeal to demo-
Gratis to restore that party's supremacy in
the affairs of the city in time for effect on
next years campaigns.
Rumor has it that MIR. Cleveland is to be
asked to indorse Tammany's ticket and re-
quest his friends to support it. If asked.
will he do this? He has Endorsed Tam
many under Mr.. Croker, and accepted the
usufruct of the organizations activity.
VIII he do much for Mr.. Murphy? Can
he be induced to see the question in the
Tammany light and think only of what
Tammany's success this year may be made
to mean next year?

and earnest efforts are being made by
the newspapers to secure relief from 1t.
An appeal is directed at the corporation
controlling the surface lines to adopt a stor-
age battery which will light the car contin-
uously taking the current from the con-
ductor rails as the car moves forward.
Such system is in use in France and re-
ports from 1t indicate that it is satisfactory.
1t costs more, of course, than the present
method of direct attachment of the lights
to the general current, but 1T Is urged In
New York that this fact should not prevent
it's adoption in this country wherever the
underground conduit has been installed.
1t is Furthermore claimed for the storage
battery method that 1t permits the contin-
uous lighting of the car whenever the main
current Is for any reason interrupted, SUCH
as by the blowing out of a fuse. either on
the car or at the power station. the wreck
ing Of the pillow or the short circuiting of
the current by the introduction OF metals
into the slot. Thus the car remains bright
at all times whereas now If any one OF
these accidents happens the car Is dark
until the damage Is repaired. Sometimes
this darkness lasts only for few minutes
but occasionally a car will stand dark on
the rails for half an hour. 1t Is not uncom-
mon in this city to see dead car being
pushed to the barns, filed with passengers,
without lights Of any description.
One consequence of this liability Of the
car to become dark whenever the current IS
interrupted or the apparatus is deranged IS
that dead car may block the track and
be struck by an approaching car on a dark
stretch of country track. This possibility
has been in some part guarded against In
the District by the adoption of warning
lamps, which are hung on the rear platform
of cars running outside of the city limits
on certain of the lines. This precaution,
however is not generally observed. With
the storage battery system in vogue there
would be no occasion for such a device and
all cars would remain bright at all points.
under any circumstances. This matter is
worthy Of the serious consideration of the
railroad and the District authorities, re-
CARELESS of the matter Of cost. The public
safety and comfort must be cared for in
every particular.

Would Hold Us Up.
From the PhiladelphIa Press


The Bogota government may stew and
plot and scheme as much as 1t pleases over
the Panama canal treaty. but the govern
ment Of the United States ought to remain.
and doubtless will remain. perfectly calm,
self-contained. unmoved and determined
Diplomacy cannot BADLY state the motives
and objects of the performances at Bogota
But general American sentiment is under no
such decorous reserve. If the plotters at
the Colombian capital suppose that their
purpose in failing to ratify the Hay -Herran
treaty and in dallying with the canal aues-
ton are not entirely understood, they
greatly deceive themselves. Their aim is
fully comprehended at Washington and
throughout the country. as plainly as if
they carried their pocket on their sleeve
But neither the government nor the people
Of the United States are In any humor to
submit to hold-up. The treaty Is liberal
in its terms to Colombia. 1t is made in n
fair and generous spirit. 1t provides for
paying all that ought to be paid.

Decadent Newspapers.
From the Baltimore Sun.

There are journals in the United States
which have made speciality of horrors and
scandals with the view of securing the pat
ronage of morbid-minded persons. When
crimes do not occur with sufficient fire.
quency they do not hesitate to invent them.
They invade the sanctity of the home and,
on the f1imsieSt pretext, make free with the
regulations of private citizens. They dish
up to their readers all sorts of salacious
gossip touching gilded society. If their
pages were mirror of all humanity, in
stead of only the decadent elements of man
kind the pessimist would be warranted in
clapping his hands with glee and asserting
that the world Is given over wholly to
wickedness and that his satanic majesty
Is the patron saint Of the universe.
