Bad Wiring.

The urgent need of the new regulations
governing electric wiring in the District.
which are about to go into effect is shown
a circus in this city within few days. A
coroner's jury, after hearing what seems
to have been conflicting and unilluminat-
ing testimony as to the killing of a boy.
rendered verdict of accidental death.
There was certainly enough of an electrical
charge to burn the boys skin. and I'M
doubtedly enough to kill him. and yet the
current which is supposed to supply the
apparatus against which he leaned is theo-
retically not strong enough to kill Or even
to burn. This current, however, reaches
its low phase of potency from high stage
by means of transformers. 1t Is clear
that something was wrong with either the
transformers or the wires. or both. Had
the wiring been done under the supervision
the municipal authorities would be blame
worthy. But it was done by the circus
employees without any official supervision
and thus the local government Is exoner-
ated from all accountability. After the
new regulations go into effect it should be
impossible for such dangerous devices to
be used within easy reach of the public
accident. Meanwhile the verdict rendered
must impress the community as an unsat-
isfactory attempt to place the blame for
what was clearly gross neglect on the
part of somebody

The business Of promoting prize nights

that nowadays a prize fight of first rank

when some one does train and challenge his
chances for victory are so slight that the
odds are always too heavy to attract large
stakes.
Time was when boxing was in repute as
fair. clean, honest sport. when it had not
run to the limits of it's present professional
ism. So deplorable is the reputation of the
sport in general that amateurs who other
wise would like to train In the manly art
unsavory repute attaches to the very

Mr.. English who had been prominent in
politics when a young man had for many
years been in retirement addressing him

He was a little near" in a trade. and
canny a Scot. But the years had left
him with some political ambition, and the
democratic POLITICIANS played upon it in
their calculations. They nominated him
for Vice President on the ticket with Cen

believed that they had secured an angel
for their venture. That he would put up
literally they never for a moment doubted
AS the weeks passed. however, this view
had to be revised. 1t was made plain that
MIR. English was not at the command of

the epthcts in number and grossness that
were bestowed upon him by the disappoint
ed, he must III all have refused to con-
tribute about twenty million dollars.
1t need hardly he added that Mr.. English
was as unmoved by the defeat that followed
as he had been by his experience i'll the

pretty well. AT the outset matters looked

Mr.. Bailey on the Tariff.

In his remarks on the tariff question, Sem
ator Bailey said III Brooklyn, Thursday
night:
with the expenditures of the federal
government already 50 enormous as to
stagger the imaginati ton. and growing great
er every year under the reckless eXtrava-
gance of those now in power. they cannot
hope to materially reduce the present rate
of duty, and even when the democrats are
called by the votes of an outraged people
to administer this government. We will f1nd
it impossible however much as we may de-
sire to do so. to reduce the average tariff
duty below a point that will still be higher
than the most extreme of the early protec-
tionistS ever claimed was necessary. and
higher than any moderate prOtectionist or
today believes essential for the protection
of any legitimate industry. Under the ne
cessity of raising revenue to support the
government, the democratic party will con-
tinue to levy tariff duties. and it perfect
ly understands that those duties will af-
ford a protection to American manufac-
turers, against their foreign competitors.
That however. is an incident with us ana
not an object
In other words. Mr.. Bailey would afford
protection to American labor and industries
only for the reason that he could not avoid
it. He does not believe in the policy of pro-
lection He regrets that 1t was ever es-
tablished. But he finds 1t in existence he
finds the governments balance sheets in
fluenced by it, and he sees no way. for the
present, of getting around it. 1t is plain
that he would get around 1t if he could
AS he puts it, protection with him lis an
incident and not an object"
Mr.. Bailey puts the whole case in those
half dozen words. In them lies the strength
of the argument that In order that protec-
ton as policy be upheld the tariff should
be revised by the friends of protection. The
Dingley law was framed by men who had
protection as an object. They were not
levying taxes merely for revenue purposes.
Revenue. of course. was prime considera-
ton, but 50 also was protection. Their
purpose was not to regulate schedules solely
to raise money for the support of the gov
eminent They had in mind as well the
building up of American industries and pro-
tecting the interests of those already in eX-
istence which might still be In need of pro-
lection. In other words, protection with
them was an object and not a mere inci-
dent.
There are two factions in the democratic
party on the tariff question. Mr.. Bailey
belongs to the faction which would hasten
the day for the overthrow of protection al
together. 1t can find no warrant in the
Constitution for the levying of a dollar of
taxes except for revenue purposes. Mr..
German belongs to the faction-smaller in
number than its rival-which believes in
protection as being both constitutional and
wise. 1t would continue the policy quite as
long. and in much the same way. as the
republicans. The two factions clashed with
Mr.. Cleveland in the White House, and
they would clash with Judge Parker there

England has total effective naval reserve
of 1900, the most noted being the Royal
Naval Reserves of $4,000 men and of
ticers. Italy's naval reserve is $1,000 and
Austria's s. 20Oc0.
The United States has no naval reserve
and but few states have naval militas NUM-
bering 500 men, who are not obliged to do
actual sea service for a prolonged period as
in foreign countries. Having neither a great
merchant marine like England, Germany
and France to draw from, nor naval re-
serve in comparison with other naval pow
ers. 1t behooves the United States to give
present consideration to the problem of ade-
quately manning all her great battle
ships cruisers and small war vessels be-
cause We are not training men fast enough
to properly officer and man our fleets.
Judge Darling has evidently keen APP
probation of condition. He says: Il
take it that all along the line there is
consensus of opinion that there must be
something done to get in touch with the
really great forces of the country that have
not been trained in the naval service" He
is to try an experiment in increasing the
number and efficiency of the District of
Columbia Naval Militia by placing at its
disposal the Puritan. the largest double
turreted monitor in the navy. She carries
the heaviest class of main and secondary
batteries and demands a crew of go able
seamen to handle her powerful guns and
machinery.
1t is, therefore. now the duty of the local
Naval Militia to prove equal to the emer-
gency and show that a naval reserve can
operate and maintain the highest type of
fighting ship. Judge Darlng's experiment
should yield excellent results and assist to
solve the problem of properly manning our
navy In accordance with the peculiar spirit
of our system of government. The use of
the Puritan by the District organization
will be closely watched throughout the
country, and should lead to the proper de-
velopment of naval mlitas under the
watchful guidance of the assistant secre-
tary of the navy.

Blocking the Crossings.

Ii is difficult to understand how the TAX
ing of the personal bonds of a railroad con-
ductor whose freight train blocked the pub
lie thoroughfare for twenty-five minutes IS
going to give the needed vitality to the law
which forbids the obstruction of traffic in
this manner. Yet such was the disposition
of a case in the Police Court in which the
offense was clearly proved. The defense
offered was that a coupling had broken.
This was not valid defense and the fact
that the court held the conductor as tech
ncally guilty by requiring him to give per-
sonaI bonds indicates that it was not so
regarded. The traffic was delayed for close
upon half an hour. when a matter of
fact the train could undoubtedly have been
broken at the street crossing and the
coupling repaired at leisure at some point
other than that needed by the public. The
taking of personal bonds merely means
that If this same conductor repeats the
blocking performance he will forfeit to the
court and meanwhile the principle thus es-
tablished is Offering of equal immunity
to all other conductors who are similarly
Indifferent to the public needs. sub
stantial fine administered In this case would
teach the conductors to repair their broken
couplings at other than street crossings and
persuade them that the law which forbids
the blocking of streets means something.
