states emphaticaIiy that there Is no inten-
ton to proceed beyond Croton with the
third rail.
One reason advanced by the electrical
works representative for the secrecy of the
Central in regard to its plans is that the
railway company Is dubious as to the atti-
tude of the people upstate toward the cleo
trio system. There remain several hundred
grade crossings on the line of the road,
and there is feeling of apprehension that
the ordinary dangers of such places will be
augmented when a heavy charge of cleo
tricity is within possible touch. The sys-
tenn adopted by the railroad practically
eliminates all danger of shock The shoe
OF the motor takes the current from under
meath the rail. which is guarded above by
hood or protecting shield. 1t is believed
that in few months the public will find
that the system is harmless, and will per-
NIT its extension. section by section. from
Croton-
OF course the substitution of electricity
for steam will not advantage the public so
long as grade crossings are maintained 1t
matters nothing whether man is struck
by locomotive or by an electric motor
The result Is the same In both cases The
only interest the people have in the inneva-
nuisance at the New York terminal. This
will be decided gain, such gain. Indeed,
the people of Washington thought to Sc
cure through the proposed legislation which
failed of enactment during the last session
of Congress with reference to the new union
station in this city. If the amendment
adopted by the House extending the pro-
visions of the smoke law to all railroad
locomotives had been written int statute
the lines using the new terminal would
have been compelled to adopt the electric
system If a way to smokeless traction could
not be found by means of oil fuel or hard
coal It was earnestly hoped that this would
be accomplished. but, unfortunately. the
opportunity was lost. and SO far the re-
quirements of the law are at present the
new station will shortly be the scene Of a
tremendous beiching forth of dense black
smoke ruinous to the white walls of the
station itself and the public buildings near
at hand.

Chickens and Public Health.

With the exception of the poultry fanciers
| of the city with coops in their back yards
there will be general public sympathy with
| the citizen who complains to the Commits
sioners regarding the attitude of the health
officer toward the chicken nuisance adjacent
to his premises. This citizen cogently re-
| marks that 1t is strange that he secure
no relief from the foul odors emanating
from this nuisance while the health officer
is publicly declaring that i'll smells are to
be prevented in the interest of the general
health of the community. 1t is a strained
| Interpretation of the regulations and the
general rights of residents that the best a
complainant against nuisance of this char
acter can obtain from the municipal govern
ment is recommendation to go to court
to sue for an abatement of a private null
sance"
The statute approved February %. 1887
authorizes the Commissioners to make and
enforce police regulations for various pur-
poses. including 1.-The keeping and running
at large of dogs and FOWLS, The act of
Congress approved February 26 1892, en-
powers the Commissioners to make In ad
dition such regulations .-as they may deem
necessary for the protection of lives. limbs,
health comfort and quiet of all persons
within the District Of Columbia" The ut
most the Commissioners have done toward
the preservation of the health, comfort and
quiet of the people in the matter of the
chicken nuisance is the adoption of Section
of Article VII of the police regulations
declaring that mo person shall own or keep,
within the District of Columbia, any fowl
which by growing. cackling or in any other
manner shall disturb the comfort and quiet
of any neighborhood.''
In the enforcement OF this regulation the
practice of the court is to require evidence
that considerable number of residents are
Inconvenience by the noise of cackling and
Growing poultry. The question of odors sell
dom arises, although the doors themselves
arise only teo often for the health and
comfort of thousands of citizens. who are
loath to press their complaints far
the courts.
This would surely seem to be matter for
administrative initiative and certainly for
prompt execution whenever nuLsances are
brought to official attention. No citizen
should be forced to bear the expense and
trouble of a civil proceeding to abate
nuisance which. II 1t affects one household,
Is fairly to be presumed to affect others. In
all matters in any degree touching the pub
lie health the official presumption should be
In favor of the complainant and against
the nuisance.
Wasningtonians want and demand clean,
healthful city. They cannot be assured
that they will have such city II the health
office persists In drawing fine distinctions
between public and private nuisances and
thrusting upon the residents the responsible
ity OF invoking the court processes to lessen
palpable evils

Matter of Local Pride.

There is altogether too little local pride
among the citizens OF Washington. There
f. a sort of pride here In the city as the
Capital Of the Nation. but the feeling be-
comes very attenuated when applied to the
CITY OF Washington as a municipality, and to
the things that make up the local city as
separate from the national city. Local PRIDE
has never died here. 1t never will, but II
sleeps q good deal and often 1t is induced
to take Knockout" drops by people VINO
ought to be It's friends. 1t is about time
to arouse this local pride so that it Will be
UP and doing all the time. The Board OF
Trade and the Business Mems Association
have been ringing bells in the sleepers' ears
for years. and the new Jobbers and Snip
pers Association just now is striking some
lusty blows that ought to stir the drowsy
one. There have been wakeful periods IN
the past but the work has been done by
a few ard the effort has mainly been direct
ed towards securing something from Con-
gress. An earnest city spirit would nave
found other channels of usefulness. IL
would for instance, have long ago built
the still proposed Masonic Temple and
would have made an accomplished fact OF
the much needed building for large meet
fngs and inaugural purposes A wide awake
the humiliating position the city of Wash
ington occupies in regard TO so many of Its
officials. An outsider reading of the ap-
pointments in Washington would judge that
It's local citizenship was made up on incom-
petent nincompoops, and these appoint
ments. which reflect so severely upon the
local citizenship are ~ confined to those
made by national officials. but have been
10 L., Nv Local officials who III
they did not feel the stir of local pride with
In themselves. would surely feel the infu-
ence from their neighbors II it existed among
those neighbors in any great strength. NO
local man is found competent to handle
the local mail. or at any rate local pride Is
not strong enough to secure local ap-
pointment. Judging from results. there is
no local man competent to take charge OF
the purely local office of recorder OF deeds.
Doubtless with regret 1t was found neces-
sary to import gentlemen to clean the city
streets and to handle the local insurance
questions These are only samples of what
a sleepy local pride has allowed here in the
matter of appointments. There are many
others. Some people are proposing at the
present time that new page be written
in city humiliation and that the announce
rent be made that there Is no local man
competent to be superintendent or the public
schools. THIS last proposition Is just as
true as the same statement as to the post
mastership and the recorder OF deeds. but
will local pride inside the board of educa-
ton and outside awake long enough to pre-
vent the statement being written into his
tory? How would II do for the city to keep
its local pride awake all of the timer There
is plenty for II to do.

Changing National Dates.

washingtonians will keenly syInpathize
with the people OF Paris who are urging
that the date Of the great national cele-
bration. concentrating the fall Of the
Bastilie, should be changed from July IA to
an earlier date, with May preferred. THESE
Partisan reformers do not cast doubts upon

Cannon.

Says the Jackson. Miss. Clarion-Ledger:
The fact has just come to light that
Speaker Cannon was born IN North Caro-
lima, May 7, 1895. Just how he happened
to DO born there is not stated. That should
be no bar to his nomination, however, as
he Is as much ashamed of the fact that the
old north state is the land OF his nativity
as the people of that state are ashamed of
the product"
This is a bit of cheap smartness at the
expense Of truth. AS matter Of fact, Mr..
Cannon Is proud Of his native state, and
North Carolinians favored with his personal
acquaintance are proud of him. Probably no
republican of national fame Is personally
more popular with southern democrats than
Mr.. Cannon. Those who serve In the House
with him are all fond OF him. The Clarion
Ledger by consulting the Mississippi MEM
bers, and particularly Mr.. Williams, would
have saved itself from stupid and very
ill-natured observation.

Rockefeller.

Mr.. Rockefeller concludes his stay In
France by making contributions to local
charities and otherwise complimenting the
country. He has enjoyed his visit so much
he will repeat it. We think in this country
that we hold over our European friends
on the score of journalistic enterprise. Note
the effort of that German publisher to
secure the paper Mr.. Rockefeller has pre-
pared on France That was worthy of New
York. Mr. Rockefeller declined. and showed
good sense. He didn't need the money, and.
besides. saw pitfalls. The article when 1t
appears will be widely read, and that is the
reward its author aims at. What Its real
value viii prove to be- considering that
Mr.. Rockefeller has spent but little timo In
France, is not trained observer except In
the world of money and has no gift of
literary expression. Is question.
