PUSHING THE AssAwAMAN.

r EcAUSE ex-Congressman Henry
~ A. Houston during his term be-
came 50 much interested in the ASA
wanan Canal project that he is yet
devoting some effort TO furthering the
enterprise. a local writer deems Il
proper to hand him out a boquet Of the
evil ana foul-smeiling variety. The
argument runs in this way; Mr.. Hous-
ton is politically dead. His successor
is now charged with the furtherance OF
all public enterprises, and Nj Houston
should not NEEDLE.
But We are certain that in the en-
de2ver to carry out any meritorious
project DR.. Burton has the breadth TO
welcome the assistance Of anyone; and
II he cannot assist but only imagines
that he can. then we think our Con-
gresham will like the spirit and VIII
treat the effort with an courtesy. For
notwithstanding the sneers Of one who
calls himself Republican, this is not
a matter OF politics but only OF de-
cency-of recognizing the courtesies
which obtain among gentlemen.
We are convinced that the Assawa-
man Canal Is meritorious enterprise
OF vast import to the people OF a sec
tion OF this State that is rich in nat
ural resources, lacking only mar
ket The canal which was undertaken
years ago but never completed. if fin

Musr TEST MINE CAGES
Recent Accidents In Anthracite Ref

Recent Accidents In Anthracite Re7
sion Brings Drastic Order. y
Scranton, Pa, May 1. - A drastic
order has been issued by Chief IN
spector James Roderick, of the bureau
Of mines. directing that a test be inn
mediately made of every mine cage in
the anthracite region. with a view to
ascertaining whether the safety ap-
planes are in working order
In each instance the cage is to be
detached from the cable and released.
II the safety appliances are in work
ing order but little damage will be
done and but little time will be lost
II, however. they are not in working
order the cage will go down to the
bottom Of the shaft and there will be
some extensive repairs necessary, as
we'll as a few days Of idleness in the
colliery where such defects are found.
Chief ROderick has issued the order
owing TO the catastrophe at the
Conyngham colliery last week, when
10 men were killed by the failure Of
the safety appliances to work. This
followed a similar accident at the
Auchincloss mine. when 10 men were
killed in a like manner, as we'll as an
accident at Clear Spring colliery,
Pittston, when seven men met their
death

A PRoMINENT PhIadelphia

a p PR MIN NENT Philadelphia
n horsenasE has given the police
a suggestion which win enable them
to put an end to disputes which here
tofore have invariably followed arrests
for fast driving and automobile scorch-
ing.
The horscman was arrested for fast
driving and his defense was that IL
was impossible for a policeman TO time
the gait OF a horse unless one man
dropped a flag as the horse or auto
mobile crossed a certain line so that
a man at the other end Of the stretch
with a stop watch would know just
when to start TO count.
The police were quick to adopt the
idea and measured of the favorite
.scorching pieces Of road. dropped a
handkerchief as the big scorchers
would cross, and the officer at the other
end knew the exact gait to the quarter
second when the machine reached him.
When the first arrest was made the
defendant wisely said: i guess / can't
dispute that timing"
Measuring the road. dropping the
handkerchief and holding the stop
watch VIII hereafter be the mode OF
proof and the old style OF being fined
on poiiceman's guess viii no longer
vex the people who claim that they
have not violated the road law.

GENERAL LEE.

TT is with some regret that we have
4 learned the decision OF Mrs. Fitz-
hugh Lee that her husband is to be
inferred at Richmond There was
feeling than Arlington would have been
a more hitting selection. II would be
in keeping with the modern spirit Of
charity for the body of the General to
rest IN the beautiful plateau overlook
ing the Potomac. which was once the
home OF his distinguished uncle, Rob-
ert f. Lee.
General Titzhugh Lee entered the
service Of the Confederack as a young
man because his state, his family and
friends were Southern In spirit. And
having fought very CALAMITY and lost
he was among the first to return to his
allegiance to the Union.
He was not man to harbor bitter
ness, and we may well imagine the de-
light he experienced as the years roll
ed by in again serving his country at
time when courage and clear head
counted. For just prior to the open
ing Of hostilities between this country
and Spain, as the American minister,
his duties were most delicate and
there was not a moment when his life
was not In danger.
Had his advice been taken in all
probability Spain would not have re-
sorted to arms as he advised against
sending a battieship 10 Cuban waters.
and IN reply the Maine appeared.
General Lee was Of the highest type
Of virginian. courteous. modest, hand
some and nn OF courage He had
hosts OF friends, including many Of his
old antagonists on the battlehelds Of
virginia
A pleasing Incident comes TO mind
relating to his visit to this city over a
year ago when he was entertained by
General Wilson. The Evening Jour
nal sent a young reporter to interview
him. He received the young man with
the greatest courtesy, chatted with
him pleasantly and familiarly for a
considerable time, gave him enough TO
make story and insisted on helping
him into his overcoat and accompany
ing him TO the door, That reporter re-
marked as he polished up his story that
General Lee was in his opinion the
finest gentleman alive.
II was a little thing. but very full
or significance. nevertheless.

A Menace to Good Government.
From the Topeka Herald.
Sooner or later the people Of this coun-

danger to our Government OF the people
by the people lies in the disposition TO
compromise in law making and law en-
forcement with the vicious elements in
the cities Of the country. 1t is q common
thing to hear men say "that is a good law
an daims at a social. or political evil that
and aims at o social or political evil that
enforce 50 I'm the cities" And when they
do so they admit that the vicious and de-
graded. Il not the criminal classes, con-
troll our cities and Indirectly our states
and the nation because the marvellous
Increase IN the population Of an Ameri-

strength necessary to carry city. State
